Jay Z Shut Down In Shanghai

Don't look for Jay Z in concert in China.

Jay was supposed to perform in Shanghai

on October 23, but permission was denied

by China's Culture Ministry. Apparently the

culture czars were offended by all the violence,

pimping and drug dealing and cited the

need to protect local hip hop fans from

nasty lyrics. Protect hip hop fans from

nasty lyrics? That's crazy talk!

Paris Hilton Party Jacked Janet At Tao

By now you should have seen the pictures

from Janet Jackson's album release party in

Las Vegas at club Tao. If you haven't,

click here, here, here, and here.

Paris Hilton was caught showing out, as usual.

Anyway,

did you know, according to a thread on LipstickAlley,

that Paris Hilton jacked Janet's party, who then left with

her posse in a huff? Here is how they describe it:

People are saying Janet Jackson stormed out of TAO en masse, with her 30-strong entourage, including Jermaine Dupri, split-seconds after Paris Hilton began singing her 'Stars are Blind' single -- peppering her intro with several 4-letter adjectives of the ''love'' word for the TAO crowd. The party was a salute to Janet's new CD and guests wondered why Paris was given the house mic to talk and sing-along to her own record at 3AM

Paris, sit down.

Anyway,

Bet you didn't know the same night as Janet's party,

Mariah Carey had a party right across the street.

I wonder if Jermaine and Janet went to Mariah's party?

You know they say JD is pissed at Mariah for not doing

a duet with Janet on her latest CD, 20 y.o. Supposedly,

Jermaine feels like since he practically put Mariah back on

the map with his production on her last CD, that the least she

could do was return the favor and help him out with Janet.

Well, we all know how that turned out.

Mariah ain't on 20 y.o.

Anyway,

Janet's new CD must be doing much better than anyone

suspects, becaue she was seen looking at a new

30 million dollar apartment in Manhattan.

Even while this week's National Enquirer claims

her parent's home is going into forclosure.

Loon Arrested In Africa

The other day AOL columnist, and

NY Daily News contributer Jawn Murray

dropped this blind item:

I hear a certain pretty-boy rapper had an international altercation with a promoter and almost ended up in a Dallas Austin-like predicament. The incident occurred with said hip hopper and a promoter, who happens to also be a former associate of the rapper's old label president. When the promoter failed to pay the production crew who worked on the rapper's music video, which was being shot in the African nation of Tanzania, the lyricist took matters into his own hands…literally. After "beating up the promoter," as one source put it, the country's president and his son had to hide the rapper because the promoter paid off several cops to have him arrested. In addition, when the hip hop artist contacted the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania about the matter, they were told: "The only thing we can do is make sure you're eating good if they lock you up." After nearly three days of playing duck-and-dodge with the promoter and Tanzanian authorities, said rapper was finally able to board a plane back to the States without doing prison time.

Then Illseed from All Hip Hop dropped this live item:

LOON ARRESTED IN AFRICA?Former Bad Boy rapper Loon has reportedly been arrested during a video shoot in Tanzania, based on my intel. The rapper allegedly punched a man on the set of a video he was shooting in the African nation after he failed to secure permits for a shoot. Additionally, a number of personnel had reportedly not been paid, including Nancy Sumari (Miss Tanzania). James Kinsey of Dusk Till Dawn Entertainment was the alleged recipient of the beatdown, but I can’t find much on this. What I do know is that Loon definitely went to the Motherland to do this video. The shovel-wielding rapper was upset, because Kinsey allegedly failed to secure permits. I been telling you all, Loon ain’t that dude all smoothed out with Diddy.

I guess it's safe to say Loon was arrested in Africa

Ruben Studdard Loses 100 lbs

Did you know American Idol winner Ruben

Studdard lost 100 lbs? He did it in a Duke

University weight management program

calories a day. Ruben is a vegetarian now, too.

Anyway,

they say Big Rub used to weigh close to 400 lbs.

I'm just waiting to see the pictures.

Monica Still Blasting Miss Jones

I'm sitting here working, drinking coffee,

Daily Buzz is in the background,

when here come Monica.

She's talking to the Black chick on the show, making

some weird comment about her boobs still being in

the same place after having a whatever lb baby...

blah, blah, blah, right?

when the Black chick surprised me and started

asking some real questions.

She asked Monica if she squashed the beef with

Miss Jones. Monica was like, you know, at the end

of the day, I realize people just say things to get ratings.

Just like singers want to sell records. Then she said looking

back, she wished she'd never even said anything, because most

people didn't even know who Miss Jones was before she mentioned

her. Monica went one step further and added, "I mean, I've seen

recent pictures of Miss Jones. I can see why see's irritated."

Ouch!

50 Cent Tries to Pull Interview

According to Radar Online, Fifty Cent tried to shut down an

upcoming article in XXL magazine featuring his former

manager, Chaz "Slim" Williams, even threatning to pull

Interscope's ads if the story ran. Slim's feature is in

response to the XXL September issue, where Fiddy boasted

about being strapped at the peace summit with Murder Inc,

and claimed Slim was aware of an attempt on his life.

So, why is Curtis trying to shut down the article?

Slim says Fifty is nervous because he knows the real

truth about him. He says most of Fifty's crack slanging

history is made up. Slim claims somebody from the mag

contacted him as suggested a comprimise, like moving his

feature to the Internet. That didn't happen and the article is

running in November's mag.

Let's see if XXL get any Interscope ads in December.

Why Jadakiss Riding Around With Stolen Guns In His Car?

Jadakiss got arressted the other night in Yonkers

and is currently cooling his heels in a Westchester county jail.

Kiss got pulled over and cops found a stolen, loaded gun

and some weed. I'm sure it didn't help that he was

riding with Darnell Frazier, who was released on appeal

last year after being convicted of killing a man

who dissed his rapping skills in 2002.

Anyway, don't look for Jada until after monday,

'cause courts are closed for Columbus Day.
