Beyonce Confirms Marriage
Beyonce told Britian's Look Magazine, “I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship.

The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it." The cd will now be released untitled.
