MRS. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
OKAY, OKAY, OKAY!!! They're married. Stop sending me e-mails! Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Beyoncé "Beyoncé" Knowles (ha) have officially tied the knot…or jumped the broom…well, you get what I'm saying. The thing is that they didn't want any of the media to be involved in the very private ceremony, which took place April 4 amongst a few family and friends in Jay-Z's Tribeca Apartment. To be honest, the only thing about this whole thing that interests me is that we finally found out what their matching "IV" tattoos on their ring fingers mean. Apparently, Jay-Z and Beyoncé feel they are soul mates seeing as they were born on the 4th day of December and September, respectively. Then of course there is the fact that they got married on the 4th day of the 4th month in the year. They have way too much time on their hands. All in all…congrats to the newlyweds!
Haven't heard from 50 in a while…
…but whenever you do hear from him he's always starting some trouble. Not this time, though. This time he's finishing it up. I reported a few weeks ago on ITSJWILLIAMS.COM that Young Buck claimed that he was waiting to receive some owed royalty money from 50 Cent. The first thing I questioned was why he would go publicly against the HNIC. NEVER a good look. Why isn't that a good look? It warrants 50 to have to go on one of Hot 97's syndicated radio shows and officially denounce your membership with G-Unit, which is what 5-0 did. Now, some may wonder if that leaves Young Buck label-less. The answer is NO! He IS still signed to the label, just NOT down with the clique. Let it be "known" that the real deal is that Young Buck is said to have actually owed the IRS big bucks. Since he couldn't afford his debt, he ran to the big boss 50 and Fif paid it. So the person really owed money is 50…A LOT at that!
Who makes the list???
Everybody wants to be an elitist. Everybody can't be, though. For the past few years, the ongoing debate has been about what African-Americans are included in Hollywood's A-List. Well, first you have to determine what makes someone A-List. The more money paparazzi can get for selling a picture of a celebrity to the tabloids determines what letter list they're on. According to Sandra Rose, there are only 6 African-Americans that are considered A-List: Halle Berry, Denzel Washington, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Will Smith. Surprisingly Mr. Diddy-Sean John-Puff Daddy oversaturated himself in the media so much that he isn't one of them. He's now on the B-List. Just a little FYI I thought you guys would like to know. So this means all of you "celebrities" (or so you think) in the AUC are all the way at "Z". Graduate and change that please…THANK YOU!
