LeToya’s New Magazine Cover And Janet’s Bad Vibe

by admin ·

LetoyaThe latest magazine cover sporting a sensually draped R&B singer comes from Unleashed with their LeToya spread.

But at least the ex-Destiny’s Child member is wearing decent clothing.

Unfortunately, there’s a definite sad trend of female singers letting it all hang out on magazine covers, but the whackness has reached its height with Janet’s topless, wordless and played cover of the now-subpar Vibe.

Seems like both sides are hoping the dollars will come rolling back in the way the google searches rolled in after Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction,” but as Brown Sista points out, it’s not even Janet’s best shot.

Lame.
