Is King having a laugh at Christina Milian's expense?

For the last couple of weeks, King magazine's website has had this feature where you're supposed to guess who was gonna be on the cover of their big 50th anniversary issue next month. Every day, they'd narrow down the list of girls who it might be. I kept checking back, because I thought it might be Esther Baxter, and that she might have gotten her body back together.

Alas, it turns out that it's Christina Milian. Who? I had to consult Wikipedia to remind myself who she is. Apparently, she once had a song with Ja Rule. (There's a pretty good picture of her in Wikipedia, by the way.) And it occurred to me: What if selecting Christina Milian was an ironic comment on the fact that so many King covers have featured black female celebrities who haven't done anything notable in years and years?

Or is that a bit too meta for a black men's magazine?

Anyhoo, Dallas Penn, who must be independently wealthy[1], kept going on about this King magazine party, so I figured I might consult the Google to see if I couldn't find the pictures. I could, and I've posted them after the jump for your viewing pleasure.
