The Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Pictures, and Style Blog... minus the ugly.

Beyonce is one of the world’s most beautiful women. So you would assume that her rapper tycoon husband, Jay-Z would have no problem remaining faithful, right?

If the British tabloids are true, monogamy isn’t in the Jigga Man’s DNA after all. According to the Daily Mail, Jay-Z appeared at London’s 17 Berkeley Street nightclub where two young “models” caught his eye. They told reporters this:

“It was really weird. I was with him soon after the private club at the back of the venue opened up and we were all drinking the gorgeous champagne.

“It was really packed in there, but I was on his table so we were drinking all night.

“At one point in the evening, he turned to me and said, ‘I want to get to know you better’. Then he got one of his assistants to come over to me and get my number. But as he left he didn’t really say much to me and then he walked on.”

He also approached another woman, who revealed: “His assistant asked for my number. I was so shocked. It’s not often you’ll get someone of his status trying to talk to you in that way.”
Tsk, tsk, tsk….

One of Anna Nicole’s doctors, Sandeep Kapoor, prescribed ridiculously high doses of Dilaudid, methadone and other sedatives to “treat” the pain of her disease. A disease that was nothing more than mental.

(Pause for reaction: Are we even surprised? Anyone?)

Dilaudid is known as “hospital heroin”. This extremely dangerous drug has the ability to cut off oxygen supply to the brain and lungs.

Remember her infamously intoxicated appearance at the American Music Awards? Dr. Kapoor contributed to that. He didn’t give her sedatives while she was pregnant, however immediately after the birth of her daughter, he began prescribing excessive amounts of sedatives.

So sad…

Celebrities better be on the look out; if you’re happy and eating well, you might see a headline stating you’re pregnant. But if you’re Pamela Anderson, being pregnant really wouldn’t be much of a surprise given her reputation around Hollywood. Sorry Pammy…we still love you, along with countless others.

This morning designer and Pam’s BFF Richie Rich set the record straight for Miss Anderson: “She’s not pregnant, not broke and just happy.”

“She doesn’t have to say anything because they’re not true,” he said. “She actually gets upset because her kids go to school. Of course, she cares. She’s a human being. We’re all human. We just poop glitter that’s the only difference.”

Right.

 The Hip-Hop hating Queen of All Media Billionaire can now add “contradicting” to her never ending title.

After refusing Chris Brown  air time on her show and essentially ripping him a new one for the Rihanna situation, Oprah had the audacity to invite a known woman-abuser on her show. Gospel artist, Bebe Winans, appeared on the “Oprah” show to pimp his latest album with a pending domestic battery charge.

What a shame…

 Chaz Bono (formerly known as Chastity Bono), the child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, had “his” first interview with Entertainment Tonight, since announcing “his” decision to undergo a sex change and genital reassignment.

(Pause for reaction minus the judgement)

After coming out to his mom, Cher, who according to Bono “flipped out,” he’s been through quite an ordeal with remaining clean and sober. Since his success in rehab, Chaz underwent a decade long process to become something he claims he’s always been, a man.

“I always felt like the male from the time I was a child,” he says. “There wasn’t much feminine about me. I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early ’90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it.”

We wish Chaz all the happiness in the world…

 Looks like Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner are taking tips from Jay-Z and Beyonce on how to keep a romance “quiet” in Hollywood.

But they failed miserably…Sorry kids, we know!

 First, KhloMar inks their initials on each other’s hands. Then Lady Gaga pay tribute to her father with am “I Heart Dad” tattoo, and now Jessica Simpson goes henna.

It’s reported our favorite pop tart got inked in South Asia while filming her new reality show, “The Price of Beauty”…Funny, this headline should have read “Tis The Season For Obscure Reality Shows.”

 Fashion enthusiasts mourn today.

Not only has Versace announced the closing of all their Japan stores, but now in a feeble attempt to increase profits and keep investors happy, Versace will be eliminating 350 positions worldwide.

(Pause for reaction, fashionistas)

According to the CEO, Gian Giacono Ferraris, “Trading conditions in the wake of the global financial crisis have been severe and the company expects to make a loss in 2009. No organization can allow a situation like this to continue, especially considering the flat outlook for 2010.”

Just a thought; perhaps Versace should be available in Walmart. I bet profits will increase then.

The recession is causing us common folk to find innovative ways to conserve our pennies. But in the wonderful world of celebrities, conserving pennies is child’s play.

Rapper 50 Cent, for example, buys diamonds on a “very regular basis”; is being forced to sell his multi-million diamond pieces before buying new ones.

Big Whoop! 

However his business savvy has made him a millionaire in a very short period of time. So one would assume that he’s good with money, right? 

His financial confidence is overwhelming to say the least:

“Any businessman who wants a piece of the future should learn from me. Obama is great. If he wants me as his financial adviser that would be cool.” Really?

 The mecca of chick flicks, ‘Sex and The City’, is coming back to the big screen. And women around the world breathe a collective sigh of relief!

During an interview, sweet Charlotte or the flawless Kristen Davis to the basic person, let us in on a few morsels of goodness about the highly anticipated sequel:

On the demanding work schedule:
“We were shooting last week — and pretty much for the two weeks before that — nights. All night. Now, we were not doing a night exterior, but that’s how many hours we needed to get these certain things down that when it comes out, you’re going to know what I’m talking about. I can’t tell you right now: except to say that they are HUGE scenes with like hundreds of people in them!”

On the gals’ fashion:
“There were more costume changes in the first one, than there are in the second one.”

 I don’t know what’s more shocking:  90’s R&B Crooner Brian McKnight being so broke that he has to resort to a “talk show” to earn an income? Or the fact that he’s so broke that he can’t even pay his own employees?

(Pause for Reaction)

According to the California Labor Board, more than 20 plus employees filed non-payment complaints again McKnight and the show-totaling a staggering $86,300. 

 McKnight’s people issues this statement: “It was mismanagement in the beginning and since then we have gotten new investors and the show is continuing.”

Stay Tuned.

 Lenny Sullivan, dearest cousin and assistant tour manager of Bruce Springsteen, was found dead in his hotel last night. The situation is currently under investigation by the Kansas City police.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Boss and his family.

During a relatively harmless lap in the swimming pool of her Holmby Hills home, Jamie McCourt alleged that her husband, LA Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, suddenly appeared unexpectedly and frightened her to the point of getting her personal security and the police involved.

However Frank McCourt sees it differently, of course. This statement was released by his lawyer, per TMZ:  “The events described by TMZ occurred when the McCourts had already separated.

Mr. McCourt was living alone at the residence in West Los Angeles and his wife was residing in Malibu. That morning, Mr. McCourt left the house and went jogging. When he returned home to the West Hollywood residence, he found his wife swimming in the pool and her personal “security assistant” Jeff Fuller, was also at the residence.

The news of a 911 call came as a surprise to Mr. McCourt. He had no knowledge of any 911 call at the time; or of any visit by any police officers and any law enforcement has had no contact with him. As previously reported by TMZ, Mrs. McCourt and Mr. Fuller have been linked romantically.

Any 911 call makes no sense at all unless there was an ulterior motive which you can be assured will be fully explored.“

Psycho….

What better way to show your undying love for someone than to get their initials tattooed on your body?

To cap off a romantic date night, Khloe suggested that the two go get tattoos. Lamar got K.O. for Khloe Odom on both his hands, while his wife inked L.O. on her right hand.

I think I speak everyone when I say ‘Enough Already!’
