The 'Last' Picture Show

OK! magazine spent more than $500,000 on the "last" picture of Michael Jackson on a stretcher and possibly dead -- but was it worth it?

No Accounting for Taste

First of all...Beyoncé and Jay-Z were married this past weekend...

How were the wedding guests treated? Rumors are swirling...

HollywoodRag.com claims that one invitee is quoted by MediaTakeOut.com as saying: "There was literally so much food! We had seven courses in total, including beluga caviar, shrimp scampi and buckets of Popeye's Fried Chicken."

...yet, from all indications, the quote does not exist...

They might have well added that the drinks were Cristal Champagne and Kool-Aid...
...wait, the guy formerly known as Shawn Carter hates that stuff, he's all about the BRUT...

Jay-Z is not having a great day

Jay-Z's new 40/40 club in Las Vegas did not pass their safety inspection today. What does that mean?

No PASS-O, NO NEW YEARS EVE PARTY...YO

Unless Jay-Z and his team miraculously come up with certain licenses and certificates by Sunday December 30, 2007, they won't be able to go on with their New Year's Eve party plans...And then there are the refunds of all those multi-hundred dollar tickets...

Awwww....so sad.....I'd rather be at the all dwarf review at KRAVE/Harmon Theater for $53.45 anyways...

Pimp C dead in Hollywood Hotel

Homicide detectives are now at the Mondrian Hotel in LA investigating the death of rapper Pimp C.
Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.
L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.
UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. on Saturday night.
