Pepsi’s Rejected Beyoncé-Style Cans

DRINK AND DRIVEL DEPT.

It was announced this week that Pepsi and Beyoncé have become “global partners.” What that means (other than sounding like a “Risk” alliance) is that Beyoncé is getting $50 million to do a bunch of Pepsi stuff — including having her face on Pepsi cans. We figured there must have been other candidates for the job — and luckily, we discovered some of the other celebs Pepsi considered for the can-treatment before they settled on Beyoncé!

Blue Ivy Carter Showered with Gifts!

Well, the gifts for Jay-Z and Beyonce’s baby, Blue Ivy, have been pouring into New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital’s Maternity Ward. What does one get for the baby whose parents have everything? Since we don’t plan on gifting the little tyke, it really doesn’t keep us up nights. But maybe you’re more giving. If so, to avoid duplicates, here’s what’s already been received. Look for a complete list of the gifts in MAD #514, on sale February 21.
