Beyonce Made Jay-Z Cancel His Team Chunk Membership

Beyonce Made Jay-Z Cancel His Team Chunk Membership

For her birthday on Sept. 4, Beyonce will go against tradition and give away a present — her long-awaited sophomore solo album, appropriately titled, “B’Day.” The Music World Music/Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records set, featuring all new music co-produced, written and arranged by Beyonce, will be released worldwide on the 4th, and in the United States a day later on Tuesday, Sept. 5. . .
B’Day’s’ first single, “Deja Vu,” features Beyonce reteaming with her boyfriend Jay-Z in hopes of matching the success of their previous collaboration, “Crazy in Love,” the first single from her 2003 debut solo album, “Dangerously in Love.” Speaking of Jay-Z, In Touch weekly is reporting that Beyonce has put him on a diet to shed some extra pounds.

The singer, who reportedly went on a water and cayenne pepper diet to slim down quickly for “Dreamgirls,” has the rap mogul eating lean proteins and vegetables, and steering clear of candy, his favorite food. The effort has already resulted in a loss of about 15 pounds, the magazine reports. A source tells In Touch: “Beyonce likes a little meat on his bones, but not too much … [and Jay Z] was getting chunky.” Jay Z, 36, was reportedly thirty pounds lighter when he and Beyonce began dating in 2003.

Oh really, B’Day eh? I would’ve loved to been a fly on the wall the day she told Jay-Z to lose the Team Chunk membership card. I still think that cayenne pepper water diet is fucking ridiculous. Wouldn’t that make your piss hot? I shudder at the thought. If I have to drink some shit that is going to make my turds come out like I’ve been eating a bag of flamin’ hot cheetos its not worth it.

Party With The Fonz

Party With The Fonz

Its no secret that metrosexual men throw one hell of a party. I’ve been to a couple of soirees hosted by a few and honey I had to clutch my pearls all night long like Lionel Richie. Everything from the drinks to the entertainment was on point. Yeah, there may have been some random guy walking past with his ass out but no one was complaining.


If you didn’t already know our favorite baggage handler Fonzworth Bentley is also a rapper. I must admit that I like his song “Laid Back.” I could definately see Kanye and his rhythm nation-less ass getting down to it in the studio. Speaking of Ye, his chick logged off of Myspace and attended the party. I still think Kanye and Fonz are a cuter couple though.

Rumor Control: Are Star And Al Headed To Divorce Court?

Rumor Control: Are Star And Al Headed To Divorce Court?

Say it ain’t so! I give Star and Al a lot of shit but I would hate to see them seperate. Every since Rosie O’ Donnell’s name has been added to the mix there have been rumors that not only is Star about to be fired but Al is pissed! Maybe he can get a job as Aqualeo’s manager. They have the perfect union in my opinion. He watches her purse and she keeps his tiarra collection free of dust.
Are Star Jones and husband Al Reynolds ready to call it a day? The official word from the couple is that all is well. But another source says they could be close to splitting, with Star considering a divorce lawyer.

The couple has been under scrutiny since their November 2004 wedding, which made headlines for the freebies they solicited from sponsors. And stories that Reynolds dated men before walking down the aisle led many to question whether it was a match made in heaven.

Jones’ future as a co-host of “The View” also looks less than secure, especially since her nemesis Rosie O’Donnell was announced as a replacement for Meredith Vieira. Star was absent from her chair Friday, and “View:-eurs are noticing that she has been mentioning Al less on-air lately. A rep for Jones said: “This story is absolutely ridiculous and untrue. Star and Al are very committed to each other and their marriage.” (source)

On Vaca

It’s Memorial Day, back away from the computer and go have some damn fun. I know have! I’ll be back for regular schedule posts tomorrow. Until then . . .

Prince’s God Told Him It Was A Great Idea

Prince’s God Told Him It Was A Great Idea

No one knew what to make of an e-mail from Prince that was addressed to various news outlets Wednesday morning containing only his picture and the words “First Corinthians 10:14.” But as soon as the curtain rose on his surprise “American Idol” appearance Wednesday night, it all made perfect sense.
The biblical passage in First Corinthians 10:14. says: “Wherefore , my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”

Prince made headlines earlier in the season after tabloids reported he was in talks to appear on “American Idol” as a singing coach and to possibly perform. The show’s executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, outright denied that meetings even took place between the two parties, as rumors had suggested. (continue)

Am I wrong for wanting to sign up for his mailing list now? I would love to see what other type of shit he sends out. Thank God he didn’t go all Madonna on us.

Fresh Faces: Aqualeo

I’m still trying to figure out what the hell a Papoose is and here comes Aqualeo. Just for the record Aquemini > Aqualeo. Aqualeo is an “Aquasiatic” rap group consisting of two members named Priceless and A.C. High. Seriously. You can check their Myspace profile for more information and listen to a couple of their songs.

I never thought I would live to see the day that someone covered a song from “Half Baked.” Guess who is the genuis who decided to pick these two nut jobs up? Papa Knowles. They need to go to the upper room and sit at the right hand of the Father. This is so darksided that it makes Raven’s demonic episode okay.

 

What feasible explanation can AC High give for looking like a black, fabulostic Colonel from KFC? That shit ain’t right.

Imagine That!

Imagine That!

Last night I went to see Lil’ Wayne perform live. Every time I have seen him before in person has been from a distance. This time I was in the front row in the Stan trenches. I never realized how little that negro was before!

Hot damn. Shit got extremely ugly when he came out. Some girl passed the hell out like she was at a Bobby Brown concert. Anyway, it was a pretty good show. It took him forever and a day to come out but when he did the audience went crazy. Since I was front and center along with my girls he kept looking right at us. Fresh flattered? Ugh, no. Imagine that!

I wrote the rumors column that is the XXL’s Hip Hop Soul. The rumors are old as hell in our world but oh well. I did that. I also write daily at xxlmag.com. Imagine that!
