Beyonce insists she would have never considered selling photos of her
hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z to a glossy celebrity magazine. Still, the singer
acknowledges that she was amazed at the amount of money that was offered.
"Now, they offer crazy money that's just ridiculous," she said in a recent
interview, laughing. "But in the end, absolutely not. It's so not worth it. If
anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money)."
Beyonce and Jay-Z were married in April in an intimate ceremony in New York
City.
"We worked really hard at keeping it private," she said. "I've always been
this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other.
We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."
Though Beyonce declined to talk about specific details, she's been more open
to acknowledging her relationship in recent interviews after years of silence
about it.
She's due to release her new CD, "I AM ... SASHA FIERCE," on Nov. 18. MySpace
Music is giving listeners worldwide the first official preview of the CD on its
Web site starting 3 am EST Tuesday. The 27-year-old singer joins the list of
other musicians who provide fans with an online preview of the CD in the days
before its release.
