WE’RE SORRY

Yesterday, I was a little surprised to read that Shape Magazine editor felt compelled to issue an apology to her readers for putting singer Leann Rimes on the cover. The editor said that it was a “terrible mistake” and she was sorry. Rimes took to Twitter to defend herself saying that she’s never heard this before and that the magazine was planning her a party.

Well, although I’m surprised that Shape issued an apology, I’m not surprised that their audience was not pleased with their cover choice. A lot of people really don’t care for Rimes anymore, rather they are justified in their opinion or not. I think they should have thought about that before they extended her an invitation. It would have saved them and Rimes the embarrassment.

Should Shape have apologized for their Leann Rimes cover?
