Jay Z’s 40/40 Club Shut Down by the Health Dept
How ironic that Jay Z once said “I’m not a businessman/ I’m a business, man.” How right he was.
Rap mogul Jay Z, 42, is a former crack dealing rapper turned businessman who doesn’t have a clue what it takes to run a business.
The majority of Jay Z’s business holdings were acquired to boost his image and increase his visibility in the corporate world. That explains why his businesses often fail.
Take for instance his 40/40 sports bar in New York city. Jay Z threw a splashy Grand reopening bash for the restaurant/lounge earlier this week. But it was more of a show to make himself the center of attention. It’s hard to say who is the biggest fame whore: Jay Z or his wife Beyonce.
Photos of Jay Z schmoozing with billionaire Warren Buffet were splashed all over the media on Wednesday. But within 48 hours, Club 40/40 was shut down by the city’s health department for violating a number of health code violations.
Apparently, 40/40 wasn’t expecting a visit from the health inspectors so soon.
If Jay was really an astute businessman he would have made sure his establishment was prepared to open to the public, rather than using the reopening as a vehicle to flaunt his wealthy friends to the media.
I’m embarrassed for him.
Royce Reed Tweets Photo of Dwight Howard’s Son in Bed With Her Man
Now I can see why Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard went ballistic on his crazy baby mama and took her to court. She is very disrespectful! No man — not even Superman — would be happy with the idea of his seed in bed with another man.
Royce Reed had the Internet buzzing yesterday when she tweeted the above photo of her current man, Dezmon Briscoe, wide receiver for the Tampa Buccaneers, curled up in bed with her son, Braylon Howard.
Even if Royce is crazy — Dezmon should know better than to disrespect another man like that. I’m sure Braylon has his own bed to sleep in. And even if Dezmon does occasionally curl up with the kid, he shouldn’t let his girl tweet photos of him. Am I wrong?

Mariah Carey Lied About Nick Cannon’s Kidney Failure
When media mogul Nick Cannon was hospitalized two weeks ago, his worried wife, singer Mariah Carey-Cannon, took to her Twitter page and tweeted a photo of her husband in a hospital bed. She tweeted that Nick was in “mild kidney failure” and she asked her millions of followers to pray for him.
In my Medical Minute post on Acute Renal Failure, your auntie wrote: “Nick might not be in kidney failure at all (Nick and Mariah are such drama queens).”
Since we had no real information to go on — other than the photo and Mariah’s tweets — fans were left to guess what was really ailing Nick. I guessed that Nick might have compartment syndrome (a consequence of intense weight lifting which can lead to kidney failure), or kidney stones.
Yesterday morning Nick returned to his radio gig at 92.3 WXRK, and he finally came clean about what caused his illness: a urinary tract infection.
Fashion FAIL: Justin Bieber’s FAKE Louis Vuitton – How We Got the Story
About 4 years ago, Louis Vuitton announced its plans to discontinue the custom orders division of its luxury brand. This meant they would no longer accept custom orders for bags or clothing from celebrities or the public.
This news came at a time when Kanye West’s custom $6,300 LV backpack was all the rage on the blogs.
I wanted a smaller version of that backpack, but a rep at the Louis Vuitton corporate office assured me that LV would “probably” resume accepting custom orders “in the future” (this was 3 years ago).
So imagine my surprise when I saw the pictures of Justin Bieber wearing what appeared to be a custom made Louis Vuitton jacket to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week.
Will Beyonce EVER Stop Lying?
If you thought Beyonce was going to give us a break after having that baby, you thought wrong. Beyonce was recently tapped to appear in L’Oreal’s “Find Your True Match” makeup commercial.
“Today was all about being honest,” says one of the most dishonest celebrity’s in entertainment history. “There’s a story behind my skin; it’s a Mosaic of all the faces before it,” she says as the words ‘African American, Native American and French’ appear on the screen.
In the ad, Beyonce pretends to be mixed with Black, Indian and French — and the L’Oreal marketing people fell for her blatant lies! If Beyonce had any French or Indian in her why would would she need a walk-in closet full of custom made lacefronts?

Blue Ivy’s Auntie Solange Knowles Wants Some Attention Too
Amid all the hoopla over the “birth” of The Chosen One, Solange Knowles, the sister of the new mom, whose name shall not be mentioned, went on a Twitter rant yesterday deploring the insensitivity towards her sister.
“It has really gotten out of hand. I’ve been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut….but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting,” she wrote in one of a series of tweets on her verified Twitter page.
We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed. It is one of THE hardest things to accept. In any other workplace…if someone directly tells your mother or sister is a liar and a fake ect…you would naturally express yourself. However, the pure happiness and joy I’ve witnessed and experienced helps me to keep my mouth shut.
We hear that Solo’s anger was misdirected at her sister and brother-in-law, who refused to allow Solo to live tweet her niece’s birth — and who had the audacity to give fame whore Gwyneth Paltrow the honor of announcing the baby’s name to the world via a tweet!
Our very credible sources tell us Solange is “mad as hell” at her sister and brother-in-law for not giving her the privilege of announcing the baby’s name. But her sister reportedly told her she’ll get over it.
Beyonce Baby Bump Watch 2012: How Did She Do That? (Video)
Twitter.com was all abuzz with news of Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter Blue Ivy’s arrival on Saturday. Many of my followers tweeted the link to this video showing E! Television footage of Beyonce (at around 10 months gestation) hopping into her custom SUV with very little effort — as if she had already dropped her load the day before!
After viewing the video myself, I agree with my followers: she does not look pregnant, nor does she move like a pregnant woman who is about to deliver her precious cargo in less than 48 hours.
Beyonce and Jay Z have managed to pull the wool over the gullible national media’s eyes, but my readers were never fooled!
Watch the amazine footage after the break!
