i was in my local walmart today and they have a special section devoted to beyonce in the electronics section--and whoa! there was her program and t-shirt from this current tour on sale for $10 each first obsessed..now this. her star is fading fast

I never heard of tour merchandise being sold at Wal-Mart.I guess this chick wants her merchandise to be sold everwhere.She'll probably negotiate to sell her next CD at McDonalds.Buy a Big Mac and the new Beyonce album at the same time!

And to think that Prince would have a hit collection on his hands if Wal-Mart was the exclusive retailer for his 3-disc release, Lotusfailure. Don't forget there's also the "Above and Beyonce" CD/DVD, another item available only at Wal-Mart.

If Starbucks can sell CDs why not mcD's? They have over 10 thousand stores worldwide, great promotion, and a ton of $$$$$. I mean who really cares who distributes as long as it's accessible.
