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.
Wikipedia Goes Dark to Protest Obama’s Web Piracy Bills
If you planned on visiting Wikipedia.org today to look up celebrity discographies or birth dates (like I often do), forget about it; Wikipedia has gone dark for 24 hours to protest Obama’s proposed web piracy bill.
The online encyclopedia ranks up there with Google, Yahoo and other high traffic websites as the most visited online. Wikipedia, and other websites, took a stand against 2 bills: the Protect Intellectual Property Act and Stop Online Piracy Act, which are under consideration in the Senate.
The bills, backed by the motion picture and recording industries, intends to put a stop to online piracy and copyright infringement by infringing upon the rights of visitors to popular websites.
If signed into law by President Obama, the PIPA and the SOPA bills would require ISPs to block online access to foreign websites which supply many of the bootleg movies and CDs that are now available for download online.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) claims the online piracy costs as much as $250 billion per year and costs the industry 750,000 jobs.
But critics of the bill say the SOPA act would infringe upon “free expression while harming the Internet” and “severely inhibit people’s access to online information.”
Wikipedia says the bills would place “the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites.”
Critics say smaller websites (such as Sandrarose.com) “won’t have sufficient resources to defend themselves” against a shut down for hosting content that may be considered pirated (such as Beyonce’s new album).
Wikipedia went offline at midnight on Jan. 18, and plans to stay dark for 24 hours.
Drake Dumping Massive Condos Featured in “I’m On One” Video
The real estate market is still in a slump, so why would Canadian rapper Drake drop almost $2 mil on luxury condos in Miami? Probably because he believed the real estate broker’s pitch that the housing market was hot again, and his 2 investment properties would increase in value.
Now Drake is trying to cut his losses, and he hopes one of you will love him enough to want to tattoo his name on your forehead take his 2 condos off his hands.
According to TMZ.com:
Drake put the properties up for sale last week — located right next door to each other in Miami’s ritzy Marquis highrise — listing one for $1.9 million and the other for $599,000. Drake combined the two into one MASSIVE condo, and lived in both simultaneously.
The larger one is a sprawling 3,800 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The “smaller” one-bedroom condo is still gigantic … at 1,675 square feet.
Drake purchased the properties together in January 2011 for a combined price of $1.903 million. So, if Drake gets his asking price … he’ll make $596,000 in profit (even though no one ever gets their asking price).
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?

Khloe Kardashian offered $250K to take paternity test
According to gossip blog Radar Online, Khloe Kardashian has been offered a whopping $250,000 to take a paternity test to determine if she really is a full-blood Kardashian, or O.J. Simpson’s spawn.
The mystery surrounding the real identity of Khloe Kardashian’s biological father can be solved with a simple DNA test, and RadarOnline.com has learned there’s a $250,000 offer on the table.
Sirius XM Satellite personality Gregg ‘Opie’ Hughes of The Opie & Anthony Show announced on Tuesday morning that he would ante up a quarter of a million dollars if Khloe, 27, would take a DNA test to prove that the late Robert Kardashian is her father.
If Khloe accepts, the $250,000 will be donated to a charity of her choice.
We’re not sure if O.J. Simpson was offered money to take a paternity test, but he sure could use the cash. His $500K Miami home is in foreclosure and it looks like he might lose the house while he serves his prison sentence.
