We’re always skeptical to report these types of details for 2 reasons:

a) celebrities often leak info to throw off the media

b) these are private matters that the public shouldn’t be prive to.

That said, we run a blog which thrives off of news, banter and a little gossip, so here we go!

Word on the street is Beyonce and the Jigga Man will be tying the knot later this afternoon in NYC.  They supposedly rented a NYC loft, and party planners are feverishly working to set up the space to perfection for 30 guests as we speak. 

We’ll have a little dignity and tell you that the loft is in Tribeca, and leave out the exact address.

 After months of speculation over his next big venture, Jay shows his hand.The New York Times reports that later this week he will finalize a monumental $150 million deal with concert behemoth Live Nation. 

The deal answers a question that had been circling through the rap world for months: Where would Jay-Z take his next corporate role? As part of the arrangement, Live Nation would finance the start-up of a venture that would be an umbrella for his outside projects, which are expected to include his own label, music publishing, and talent consulting and managing. Live Nation is expected to contribute $5 million a year in overhead for five years, with another $25 million available to finance Jay-Z’s acquisitions or investments, according to people in the music industry briefed on the agreement. The venture, to be called Roc Nation, will split profits with Live Nation.Continue reading this post…

Jigga man spoke to EW about Def Jam’s 26 Grammy nods and the status of his contract negotiations.

The New York Daily News said last week that talks were stalling because you made some big demands. Is there any truth to that?
No.

So from your perspective, do you think you’ll be at Def Jam next year?
Yeah, I think — I don’t know. Let me not even say that. I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. But seriously, it’s not about money. That’s really the last thing. Of course, as a person that does these type of things and puts his heart and soul into it — and it’s effective, as the Grammys would indicate — you want to be compensated for what you do. But it’s really not about money. It’s really about the future of the music business, and not wasting anyone’s time. I don’t ever want to sit in a seat just to sit in a seat. I could be off doing something else that’s beneficial to the future of the music business as well as myself. So it’s not about money! I mean, you couldn’t pay me enough. And I don’t mean that in a cocky way.

Says him:

“Now it’s time for me to take on new challenges,” he said in a statement. “I am pleased to have had the opportunity to build upon the Def Jam legacy…” 

Says LA:

“Jay made it clear to us that he feels the time has come to take on different challenges in his life. While we regret his decision to move on, we certainly respect it…”
