We don’t have much in the way of real celebrities anymore now that psuedo singers and reality TV personalities have just about taken over. The music industry realizes that the genre is dying and have quickly switched their focus to white celebs like Lady GaGa and the newcomer white rapper Ke$ha.

What few celebs we still have left celebrated their New Year in the typical fashion. Beyonce spent the week in St. Barths with Jay Z on the French Riviera. She performed a New Year’s Eve concert for the wealthy elite who could afford to be gouged on the ticket prices.

By the way, some of you may recall me mentioning Beyonce’s stage manager/tour director(?) Kim Burse whom I had dinner with a while back (follow her on Twitter). Well, Kim is the one who auditioned and hired Beyonce’s lesbun lady band. So you can thank her for the guitarist chick with all the crazy tats.

I told you that convicted woman beater Chris Brown would be partying on a private yacht near Miami Beach.


Brown and Bow Wow hung pretty tight the whole weekend.

At one point, Brown’s camp got a little nervous and invited a buxom beauty to take pics with Brown to throw off the rumor mongers.


It didn’t work

Unfortunately, the other celebs I mentioned didn’t bother to show up to the private yacht party.

According to my friend, Akon’s brother Bu Thiam, VP of Def Jam, who invited me to Miami for the Lady GaGa concert — only Brown, LisaRaye, Polow Da Don, and new group The Rich Girls (one of whom is pictured above with Chris) showed up to party on the boat. Bu blamed the cold weather in Miami for the low turnout. But everyone still had fun as much fun as one can have with a convicted woman beater on board.

I also asked Bu about the incident involving Lady GaGa. The tabloids said she took a nasty spill while performing her New Year’s Eve concert at the Fountainebleu hotel on Miami Beach. Bu said she did fall, but the blood was fake. “She just be on her artist sh*t. GaGa is an artist. You know how artists are. They just do crazy sh*t. She’s all good,” said Bu, who hung out with rapper Young Jeezy all weekend in Miami.
