Report: Jay Z Earned $63 Million, Donated $6,000 to Charity
About 90% of celebrities are narcissists or they have narcissistic tendencies. They believe they are special and that they are entitled to special treatment.
These celebs cloak themselves inside a warm cocoon where they believe they are untouchable. Celebrities and their reps realize that the media is not as gullible as the general public, so they ingratiate themselves to the media (and to certain blogs). They give certain members of the media (and certain bloggers) exclusive access into their world in return for favorable press. This sort of treatment is otherwise known as kissing azz.
When a celebrity grovels before the national media as much as Jay Z does, he or she doesn’t expect the media to turn on them and expose their failings.
This is precisely what happened to Jay Z today — one day after his so-called “historic” performance at Carnegie Hall in NY. The hard working sleuths at The Daily have uncovered shady financial dealings by Jay Z.
The tide has shifted. Who didn’t see this coming after Beyonce played the media with her sham of a pregnancy?
Was Madonna’s SB 46 Halftime Performance the Greatest Ever?
That’s what everyone is saying this morning after the BY Giants upended the hapless New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. The 53-year-old pop icon rode into the arena on a chariot worthy of the gods. She launched into a performance of her hit single “Vogue” before performing her current single “Give Me All Your Lovin’” with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage. But it was M.I.A.’s flip of a finger that caused most of the buzz from last night’s performance. Some are comparing M.I.A’s middle finger flip to Janet Jackson’s intentional disrobing in 2004′s Super Bowl.
That may be a bit of a stretch when you consider that M.I.A. flipped the bird so quickly that most of America missed it. Still, M.I.A.’s obscene gesture may have stolen the show from Madge. Watch the video after the break.
Did Gisele Bundchen Cause Tom Brady to Lose the Super Bowl?
That’s what many are saying this morning after the NY Giants edged out the odds on favorites New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17 on Sunday. It was a hard fought battle between two Epic teams that came down to the wire in the final seconds with a Hail Mary heaved into the end zone by NE quarterback Tom Brady, who suffered one of the most humiliating defeats of his career.
But the humiliation began off the field for Brady last week when Tom’s egotistical supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen allegedly sent out a “Prayer chain” email to her friends and family begging them to pray for Brady to win the Super Bowl.
How embarrassing for Brady — and for Gisele, who actually believed that God had nothing better to do than fix the outcome of a football game.
Didn’t she learn anything from Tim Tebow’s blow out loss to these same New England Patriots just two weeks ago?
Gisele Bundchen is clearly a typical Narcissist who believes she is more worthy in the eyes of the Lord than any other NFL wife. If Brady had managed to eke out a win over the Giants, Gisele surely would have accepted some of the credit for the win.
Even after her husband’s humiliating loss, Gisele continued to embarrass him — and the Patriots wide receivers.
New Birth Crowns Bishop Eddie Long as King
Some of you may recall that disgraced preacher Eddie Long stepped down from his position as spiritual leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church late last year. His stated goal was to focus on his family — in particular, his long-suffering wife who is divorcing him.
Well, Bishop Long is back in the pulpit. And he returned in typical dramatic fashion.
New Birth brought in a controversial “Rabbi” to crown Long as King in an elaborate Jewish ceremony using 300-year-old sacred scrolls that were found discarded outside a concentration camp in Germany in the 1940s.
I wonder how the Jews feel about this?
Update I, 4:45 pm ET: according to this blog, the “Rabbi” isn’t even Jewish and the 300-year-old “Jewish scrolls” are fake:
Rapper Angry at Mitt Romney for Using His Song
According to the Huffington Post, Rapper K’Naan is angry with Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney for using his song “Wavin’ Flag” during his Florida primary victory speech on Tuesday.
In a statement Wednesday, K’naan says Romney’s campaign didn’t seek approval to use the song and that he would not have granted permission if it had.
The Somali-born, Canadian-based rapper says he would happily grant President Barack Obama’s campaign the use of the song.
But Romney’s camp defends the usage of the song under a blanket copyright license that covers songs performed by candidates or played over public address systems.
It seems odd that K’naan — also known as the Dusty Foot Philosopher — offered his song free of charge to the Obama administration. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama didn’t have a hand in this. I never heard of K’naan or “Wavin’ Flag” until today. K’naan should be grateful that Romney gave his song free pub.
Listen to the song after the break.

Secret Service Probe Bullet-Riddled Image of Obama on Cop’s Facebook Page
A bullet-riddled photo of President Barack Obama posted to a cop’s Facebook page has attracted the attention of the Secret Service.
The picture on the facebook page of Peoria police sergeant Pat Shearer depicts seven young men, four of them holding automatic weapons, and one displaying a black t-shirt with an image of Obama that is bullet-riddled and slashed.
According to published reports, a citizen alerted the Secret Service to the image which has since been removed from Shearer’s Facebook page.
“Any time information like this is brought to our attention we have to conduct a follow-up,” Max Milien, spokesman for the Secret Service, said, according to AZcentral.com.
“We understand an individual’s right to free speech but we also have the right to speak to the individual to determine what their intent is,” Milien added.
Would you drink donkey semen and urine to be on TV?
An upcoming episode of NBC’s ‘Fear Factor‘ has the network’s top brass very nervous. The hit TV show calls for contestants to swallow a glass full of donkey semen, followed quickly by a glass of donkey urine to wash it all down.
Sources involved in the production tell us the stomach-churning stunt was shot last summer — but NBC honchos were having a tough time swallowing this one as the air date approached.
Our sources say NBC execs had multiple pow-wows in the months after the stunt was shot … but eventually gave FF producers the thumbs up.
Calls to NBC were not immediately returned.
The episode of Fear Factor, which tests the limits of what humans will do for fame and fortune, airs this Monday.
