EXCLUSIVE NEWS: Jigga’s 40/40’s Opening in Vegas Canceled? NOT!

Ok, I’ve been reading rumors from Perez Hilton that the 2 night celebration scheduled on December 30th for the opening of his new extended franchise restaurant & bar 40/40 in Vegas, might not be happening due to failure of passing inspection on time for the event. That rumor came around the 28th. Now, I did see pictures floating around from the concert he did last night on the 29th from the Pearl’s in The Palm’s Hotel. I’m not sure how hard is to get another inspection done or if mister jiggaman, a very powerful celebrity, could have just made it rain on them hoez on some straight american gangster style and payed-off that process (which i wouldn’t doubt is possible), but I believe it wouldn’t stop his plans. Make sense?
I’ve also received this email from UrbanWorld shutting down the rumors:

Last night, Jay-Z debunked rumors that his long planned New Year’s Eve show would be shut down over a failed inspection by putting on a memorable affair at his “American Gangster Live” show, at the Pearl Theater in the Palms Hotel. “We came here to Vegas to take over for a minute,” Hov shouted upon his entrance onstage, where he was joined by Vegas native Ne-Yo and Soundscan titan Mary J Blige. Thanks to Walik Goshoen for the picture! Jay-Z saved his best surprise for last, bringing out his little brother Kanye West. The two performed a number of cuts including Ye’s “Good Life”. Good to see Kanye out and about! Tonight Jay-Z is scheduled to perform at the opening of his Vegas 40/40 club.

Bonus: I’ve found this picture of his wifey, Beyonce, and one of her tour peoples on MySpace, thought it was funny…

Kinda reminds me of this baby clip:

T.I. is “Trapped” in The House on X-Mas!

T.I. can’t leave the house for awhile so he got time on his hand…*cheezin* Oh well! I’m sure Tiny is happy he can’t cheat on her! Hmmm…there’s always “Special Delivery” services from the hoez…haha! Just Kidding! Don’t send no guns at my house okay homie? LMAO But yah! At least you are not “trapped” in jail!

SMH: Ghostface Doll

Now, I believe all hip-hop icons should have their own doll just for collection purpose but those who do, I can’t help myself but laugh about it. First Master P, you’ve seen the Swizz Beatz figurine up here, I own a Run DMC figurine, I know there’s a Biz Markie joint and Flavor Flav. Now Ghostface got a doll, 1000 limited edition, only for $299.99. I think I should build a museum just for hip-hop toys. That wpuld be something huh? What would a Superhead doll look like? LOL Should I even go there? I got ideas but you tell me!

Check the description!:

The Ghostface Doll was a project that 4CAST Limited had devised to rekindle the feelings of the Golden Era of 90’s hip-hop. Thought up by 4CAST founder Ameesh Dani, the Doll was created to be a representative of an exciting time in hip hop that was timeless and classic. The specs of the figure, which include the real gold and the fact that it is very limited and exclusive, represent where hip hop and hip hop consumer culture is today. When Ghostface Killah was initially approached he thought it was a bobble-head figure, and was ready to commit to the project. After further description of the real gold and the fact that it was limited and was more of a replica, he was very excited about the doll. He recorded the doll’s lyrics himself and decided he would be fully behind the project. After a lot of research and development with the Wally Champ himself, 4CAST Limited brings you the Official “Ghostface Killah Doll.”

Where is Olivia? Part 12

Ok, this is not really part 12 but Olivia have been so unlucky with her career…well at least she is known but damn…She was J. Records first signed artist then Alicia Keys stole her shine, then she got signed with G-Unit, got breast augmentation, had one and a half collabo hits (Candy Shop and Best Friend Remix), now they have treated her like Amil on the Roc. Even she said it’s all good, some members of G-Unit are continuously making fun of her. See here:

Poor Girl! I almost forgot she was my manager with her cousin a long time ago…

Oh and her video “Missing You”, horrible. And don’t deny it Olivia! You know it!

B2K’s Drama: Touching the Snake Will Only Make it Come Out the Grass.

B2K’s Raz B, is claiming that he and members of the boy group were raped by former manager Chris Stokes

**UPDATE:

Below is a statement from Chris Stokes regarding the accusations made by Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton.

“The accusations that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children,” said Chris Stokes, CEO of The Ultimate Group.

“It’s also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills,” added Stokes.
