Worst album covers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When artists put out albums,
one of the many things they have to consider is the cover art. An aesthetically pleasing cover can make people want to buy the album. And something that is less than stellar? Those covers (such as Nelson’s “Because They Can”) become popular for entirely different reasons.
Sites such as coverbrowser.com keep tabs on the best of the bad, but the Orlando Sentinel has elevated the discussion, letting users vote for the very worst among 50 choices (see the covers here).
What is the worst album cover you have ever seen? Are there popular artists who missed the mark?

Mariah Carey to Nick Cannon: I do, and so do you

Just when you had quit caring whether Beyonce and Jay-Z had got themselves hitched, singer Mariah Carey and actor Nick Cannon (“Drumline,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”) reportedly tied the knot in the Bahamas, according to sources who talked to Web sites NewYorkPost.com and E! online.
The two lovebirds are a recent match, Cannon only having broken off his engagement with Victoria’s Secret angel Selita Ebanks in October. Time, and a steady diet of hotties, heals all wounds, we suppose.
