Us Weekly Doesn’t Want to Pay Up for Kendra’s Wedding Photos

It’s a funny thing, the news: It happens when you least expect it.

Us Weekly had signed a contract guaranteeing them exclusive photo rights to Kendra Wilkinson’s wedding on Saturday, which may have resulted in solid newsstand sales for them. But then Michael Jackson died, and all of a sudden Kendra’s (first) wedding becomes a non-issue. Us Weekly reportedly wanted to wiggle out of the full price in the contract, but a contract is a contract, and they’ll have to pay up. A rep for them denies the story, saying that the “wedding pictures were purchased after Michael died.”

Ya know, my first thoughts about Kendra’s wedding (because, yes, I think about these things), was that it kind of sucked for her to have her wedding’s media coverage eclipsed by the Jackson death. But then I realized — these things go to print at the start of the week. So what you’re seeing is a bunch of tabloids with Michael Jackson on the cover … and Kendra Wilkinson on the sidebar. (Like this.) This week’s tabloids are going to sell to a mass of people who would never normally buy a tabloid rag, because everyone will want to read (or want to own) the Michael Jackson death coverage. The result? Kendra will be visible to an audience that never would have known about her before. It’s actually fantastic for her. And that is my in-depth media analysis for the day.

  • I could care less about her wedding regardless about whatever else is happening. she’s some chick who was on some lame reality show and used to screw an old dude. big deal.

  • Why would they pay for some whore’s wedding pictures? Society gets more and more disappointing every day.
