40-year-old rapper Jay Z is the new face of an upcoming Fendi marketing campaign:

According to Dr.Jays, Jay-Z was recently seen with Fendi head Karl Lagerfeld at a New York Fendi photo shoot. But Jay wasn’t there to watch the shoot…he WAS the shoot. Apparently Jay-Z will be actually be a model for Fendi’s upcoming marketing campaign. I bet Beyonce is mad jealous. No word yet when the campaign will launch. (Source)

Meanwhile, a U.K. concert promoter says the rapper is not to blame for poor ticket sales at a U.K. music festival. Jay was blamed for low ticket sales for this summer’s (08) Glastonbury festival. But Glastonbury festival organizer Emily Eavis insists tickets are down from last year’s figures because of the bad weather at the festival in recent years.

Yeah, that’s it. A little rain always keeps die hard fans away from a huge concert event. (Source)
