On Monday, the Toronto Star printed an Associated Press report about entertainers who might’ve used steroids. Mary J. Blige was one of the entertainers mentioned.Alas, the Toronto Star didn’t run a picture of Mary J. Blige. The Toronto Star ran a picture of Keyshia Cole and said it was Mary J. Blige.
Here is the correction the Star published yesterday:
“As a result of wrong information provided by Reuters, singer Keyshia Cole was mistakenly identified as Mary J. Blige in a photo published Jan. 14. The Star regrets the error.”
Hat-tip: Craig Silverman at Regret the Error.
You might recall that three weeks ago, the Toronto Star misidentified a photo of Bow Wow as Omarion. What do you think, should I let the Canadians slide from now on? It’s hard enough for Americans to get this stuff right.
Okay. I was willing to give the Toronto Star a pass on the previous mix-up. Now, I just don't know. Don't they have competent folks on the staff who can ID a brother/sister correctly?
ReplyDeleteKeyshia Cole is fine...too bad she is so damn ghetto.
ReplyDeleteKeyshia IS a throwback to early scary Mary J in style, carriage and behavior, but the Toronto Star doesn't know that, so yeah...
ReplyDelete^ hee-hee...

ReplyDeleteUBM, feel free to knock the Toronto Star all you want (useless-as-tits-on-a-bull newspaper) but leave the rest of us Canucks alone, eh?
ReplyDeleteGiven that it was Reuters, you're lucky they didn't photo-shop something or somebody else in that picture.
ReplyDelete"Mistakes" are what they do best.
