Jay Z, Madonna and Timberlake Are NOT Joining Boycott Against Florida
Representatives for Madonna, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and several other stars have strongly denied reports suggesting the musicians were joining Stevie Wonder in his boycott of the state of Florida following the George Zimmerman verdict.
According to a list that surfaced on music blog American Urban Radio Networks, the 63-year-old singer enlisted several star performers, including Kanye West and the Rolling Stones, to join him in his refusal to play in Florida until the state rectifies its Stand Your Ground Law.
The report, which was picked up by MSN, the Huffington Post and the Wrap, claimed Rod Stewart, Usher and Rihanna were also boycotting the state.
“I don’t know where this list came from,” one rep said.
Wonder made headlines last week when he announced at his concert in Quebec City, “I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again.”
“As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world,” he added.
Zimmerman’s acquittal last week in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin sparked outrage across the country, and Wonder was one of the few entertainers to take a stand.
The American Urban Radio Networks site, which cited individuals close to Wonder’s camp in its story, could not be reached for comment.
Unhappy Jay Z calls George Zimmerman a “f*cking mall cop”
Rap mogul Jay Z was among those who were shocked and saddened when a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Jay Z told Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson he didn’t sleep for 2 days after hearing the not guilty verdict.
“We all knew there was still racism but for it to be so blatant… Didn’t Trayvon have a right to stand his ground?” he said, referring to the controversial self defense law.
Jay Z blasted wannabe cop Zimmerman for racially profiling the unarmed Miami teenager.
“Professionals are taught not to profile,” he said. “This guy is a novice; this guy is a f*cking mall cop. You can’t assess a situation and figure out what you’re going to do, that’s not what you do for a living.”
Jay Z and his wife, singer Beyonce joined thousands of demonstrators at a Justice for Trayvon march in New York last weekend.
The 43-year-old father-of-2 said he hoped Trayvon’s tragic death brings about a change in the law that transports America back to its lawless wild wild west past.
“Even that Stand Your Ground law; you can have a fight with someone, and if they are running away you can shoot them and kill them and you’re fine. What?!”
Jay Z added: “Hopefully this is the moment that changed that law and changed the way we interact with each other, and you hate that a child had to be sacrificed for that.”

Miley Cyrus Speaks On Jay-Z’s Shout Out On ‘SomewhereInAmerica’
“When I was talking Instagram / Last thing you wanted was your picture snapped / Feds still lurking / They see I’m still putting work in / Cause somewhere in America / Miley Cyrus is still twerkin’”
Jay-Z’s reference to Miley Cyrus twerking in the verse and hook of ‘SomewhereInAmerica’ from his new album Magna Carta Holy Grail surprised many but looks like Miley already had an idea about the shout out, before the song was released to the public. She told MTV UK:
“Pharrell had actually hit me [up], he was like ‘Jay-Z wants to call you and tell you that he’s shouting you out in the song tomorrow. I was in Miami and was doing crazy press for my record. So I came out… and we got to go out and hear it in a club. It was fun.”
Miley is currently putting finishing touches to her new album which will feature production from Mike WiLL Made It, Pharrell and others.

Kendrick Lamar Defends Jay Z’s Success In Hip-Hop
Kendrick Lamar is growing into a successful artist by the day, but he doesn’t forget to give credit where it’s due. During his interview with Bullett magazine, the TDE member praised Jay Z’s longstanding career. He commended him for his achievements and saluted him for his contributions to hip-hop. “I salute people like Jay Z,” Lamar said. “How many tours has he been on? How many verses has he put down? How many interviews? How many radio shows? People forget that.”
Lamar added Hov’s detractors come from the fact they can’t imagine someone from the Marcy Projects is making million dollar business deals. Hip-hop history shows Jay was committed to become the next big thing. He argues rap fans seem to forget that sometimes. “They can’t fathom how a dude from the Marcy Projects is sitting next to Barack Obama. So they make up all types of crazy sh*t and forget the facts: This nigga dedicated every single day of his life to this, and what he has wasn’t just given to him. It’s no mistake he’s at where he’s at.”
Mike WiLL Made It’s First Single “23″ Off Debut Album Set For August Release
Mike WiLL Made It’s breakout year is continuing its upward trajectory. The producer—who has been behind the boards for everyone from Miley Cyrus to Jay Z to Ace Hood and Ciara already in 2013—will be dropping his debut album Est. In 1989 Pt. 3 (The Album) later this year on his own EarDrummers Entertainment label. Yesterday he took to Twitter to announce that the project’s first single, “23,” will be out August 26th and will feature Miley Cyrus, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa.

Beyonce & Jay-Z Pregnant With Second Child
Blue Ivy's gonna be a big sis!
That's right: Superstar supermom Beyoncé is expecting her second child with hubby Jay-Z, multiple sources exclusively confirm to E! News.
The news follows rampant speculation that the "Countdown" songbird was pregnant, even as the couple remained tight-lipped about their ever-growing family.
Rumors first began churning that the Grammy winner was with child when, earlier this month, she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing a custom-made Givenchy gown that deftly concealed her stomach, its bodice cinched high above the waist just as its intricate pattern made it difficult to discern any change in her silhouette.
Speculation then went into overdrive Tuesday after Beyoncé was forced to cancel her Mrs. Carter Show performance in Antwerp, Belgium, after doctors advised her to rest "as a result of dehydration and exhaustion."
The 31-year-old recently spoke out about the possibility of giving 1-year-old Blue Ivy a sibling, telling ABC News that she "would like more children" and explaining that she thinks her daughter "needs some company."
Looks like that company is coming sooner rather than later.
Congrats to the happy family!

Kanye West rants "I ain't no motherf*king celebrity"
"One thing about me. I'm the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity...because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real sh-t. and that's it. That's motherfu-king it. That's motherfu-king it. So I don't want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and sh-t to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. throwing me off of my focus and sh-t. Harassing you all motherfu-king day. I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity..."
"[I had a friend ask me, 'Are you gonna go on] SNL and you're going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and sh-t and like humanize yourself?' I ain't here to apologize to no motherfu-kers man. It ain't about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that kind of situation.
"I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity. I ain't running for office. I ain't kissing nobody's motherfu-king babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and sh-t. I'm trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don't want nobody to ask NOTHING ELSE OF ME. Don't ask nothing else of me. Motherfu-kers chasing you down 'bout to make you crash and sh-t. And all they want is one nigga to laugh and sh-t. Hell nah I ain't doing no motherfu-king SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain't no motherfu-king joke. That's it. Stop that sh-t right there."

Kanye West Documentay made by a fan
"My first intention was to make like a 10 minute video with Kanye quotes and such, but I had so much material so I decided to make it a tad longer. The closest I could get to a real documentary. (We really need one in all honesty).
My goal was to capture something from every solo album, and the video is basically chronological. Starting with CD and ending with MBDTF.
I entitled it Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings (I know that’s not the actual line in Eyes Closed), because I feel like that sums up Kanye’s career – The outsider. The misunderstood genius.
This took me 5000 hours to make so please be kind…"-James Workman
