Beyonce Knowles Illustrates The Sixth Rule Of Tabloid Journalism

by | 13th, January 2009

THE Rules of Tabloid Journalism. Rule 6: The Golden Globes must always be illustrated by picture of a woman’s cleavage.

In more enlightened times the cleavage may belong to a man. For now, though, a woman is all.

The Sun illustrates news of the year’s first film industry AGM with a picture of Beyonce Knowles, who did not win a gong nor even star in a film up for one.

But Beyonce does have a cleavage. What’s more she is a golden coffee colour and thus black enough to feature on a tabloid front page and not too black as to:

a) Scare the shit out of readers
b) Illustrate knife crime
c) Be a statement

There are two more pages on the Globes and in one, gushing Kate Winslet – what Americans call a two-time winner – is holding a statuette in each hand, as she must.
