Jay-Z&#8217;s New Years Eve plans may have fallen to the wayside when it was rumored that his new 40/40 Club didn&#8217;t pass health and safety inspections.  It was said that he was going to ring in the New Year at this new branch.
An insider told Perez Hilton this:
&#8220;Unless Jay-Z and his team miraculously come up with certain licenses and certificates by Sunday, then they won&#8217;t be able to go on with their New Year&#8217;s Eve party plans.&#8221;

Mother of rapper Eminem, Debbie Nelson, is now claiming that he made up his difficult childhood in order to be successful in the rap music business.  Her book is called My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem.

<p>Nelson has been attacked both physically and mentally by her son&#8217;s fans and now she feels she has had enough of it. </p>

Dr. Jan Adams got to the show, sat down, and then said nevermind I don&#8217;t want to be on the show.
His actual words were, &#8220;I think I&#8217;m taking up your airtime, but I will not be on the show.&#8221;  You THINK you&#8217;re taking up airtime?  Hmm, okay.  Larry King is just as confused as myself [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.rumorsinmusic.com">Rumors in Music</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Rapper Kanye West&#8217;s mother Donda passed away on Saturday.  She was only 58 years old, and was very close to her son.  As expected, he&#8217;s taking the news pretty hard.  If you have it, now would be a good time to listen to the song &#8220;Hey Mama&#8221; that he wrote for her, in memory of a wonderful woman who will always be remembered.

From assault, to drunk driving, to driving with a suspended license, Busta Rhymes has definitely pulled a Paris Hilton times twenty.
Just today, in court, Rhymes rejected a plea bargain that would provide him with a one year prison term.  So now, he&#8217;ll be having four different trials for each crime he&#8217;s committed.
Have fun with that, Busta.
