Jay Z Speaks on Kanye West!
"I think what Kanye went through was, he himself became that, over the Taylor Swift incident," Jay said. "People said he was racist. And he’s not a racist person, so it made him reflect on the comments that he made. But I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again--it felt like it was being done to black people."
"Like, all you saw on the news was black people on the news with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by," the rapper continued. "It’s like, 'What is that?' If that had happened anywhere else besides New Orleans, would the response (have) been so slow? Would Bush (have) been on the ground? You have to ask these sort of questions. Just the fact that he thinks that the worst thing that happened to him is Kanye saying something about him. Like, what? That alone shows you where his mind is. Are you kidding me?"
Luda... Tell us you didn't
Damn Luda we really thought you were different… After we noted that normally happy couple Ludacris and Eudoxie weren’t looking quite so cozy anymore, a devoted Cake Exclusive reader wrote in to fill us in on what’s been eating at their relationship. Check out the steamy details below:
Cake have I got a story for you.Wednesday November 10, 2010 Ludacris preformed at my school, Florida Atlantic University, annual Freakers Ball. Luda came with his girlfriend, Euxonie and of course his boys. Luda asked for condoms to be in his dressing room and when his manager asked where they where she [Eudoxie] went CRAZY. She flipped out on him asking him why he always needed condoms in front of his crew and the students that ran the concert. We were all in shock and it was like a bad accident where you couldn’t look away.
They went into the dressing room and she came out like 20 minutes later asking for a tour of the school since she had heard so much about the school. We got a her a golf cart tour (our school is relatively small). As soon as she was out of the building Luda went over to one of the girls, who was a student, and started talking to her. She was all giggles. After about 20 minutes of whispering in her ear Luda and the girl went into his dressing room with one of his bodyguards standing in front of the door not letting anyone get too close to the door.
About 10 minutes later Euxonie came back, as I said small school, and she went to the door. By this time EVERYBODY knew that Luda was in the room with the girl, so Euxonie went up to the doors and attempted to bypass the guards, They wouldn’t let her in the room and she was screaming “CHRIS OPEN THE FU*KING DOOR!!!!” she was banging on the door. He eventually came out with the girl and she pushed him into the room and she started screaming and everybody and their momma could hear her.
About 20 minutes after the screaming match she stormed out of the room and told one of the bodyguards to take her to the airport. Luda came out the room and one of the bodyguards asked him if he wanted to stop the car and Luda said “Nope, she’ll get over it”. And that was it. A few hours later he put on a great show.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW…
Do you believe it?
RiRi hatin' on blogs and the losers who reads them!
Rihanna had an epiphany, and just now figured out that everyone who writes on and/or reads blogs hate EVERYTHING about themselves:
I read the blogs sometimes, it depends on what it is I am trying to find out. I’m a lot more numb to it now only because I understand what it is.
It’s a community for people who don’t have anything else to do and hate themselves, they hate their life, they hate their job, they hate their appearance, they are uncomfortable with who they are so what makes them feel good is talking smack about other people who they think they will never ever see in their life and they happen to be celebrities.
It seems impossible to ever have the opportunity to say these things to their face, so they get to hide behind their computer.
Relax, babygirl. It’s only entertainment.

T.I Back to the Slammer.
Rapper T.I. is convinced his latest prison stint will improve his music, because he finds his "greatest inspiration" in his "darkest hours."
The hip-hop star, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., surrendered to authorities in Arkansas on Monday and began serving an 11-month sentence for violating his probation connected to a previous jail stint on weapons possession charges.
T.I. revealed in the same week that he plans to release a new album while behind bars - "No Mercy" will hit shelves next month.
And the rapper has hit back at critics who fear the ongoing legal troubles will ruin his successful career, insisting fans wouldn't be interested in his music if he didn't have controversial life stories to write about.
In a post on his official website, he writes, "To all of you who say 'He should practice what he preaches' and 'How could he do something so stupid... AGAIN?' You're absolutely right and I couldn't agree with you more. But you know what? As history has shown us before, I find my greatest inspiration during my darkest hours. So all fans of music, T.I. or not, should be able to agree that No Mercy will surely be my best work yet.
"After all isn't that what it's all about? If I never went to prison, never did drugs, never f**ked up again, did everything right and never made great music... would you even care enough to comment on T.I.? Doubt it, so bear that in mind while you jump to your conclusions guys. So although I'm still in touch... watching, reading and listening, I'm not concerned with what negative people say more than I am with what positive people don't."
Pauly D’s Late, but Rock's Hamilton
Blame the hair.
When Pauly D, the fist-pumping DJ from MTV’s hit reality show Jersey Shore, finally showed up almost two hours late for his own event at the Hamilton Convention Centre Sunday night, his excuse was in character.
“Sorry I’m late Hamilton,” he told an agitated audience. “I was fixing my hair.”
Pauly D, whose full name is Pauly DelVecchio, is known for taking 25 minutes to do his gel-filled up do – which he calls the “blowout.”
When word got out he would be making an exclusive Ontario stop in Hamilton, about 1,200 people bought tickets for up to $61.75 to attend the event, which also featured three other DJs.
He was scheduled to play at 11:30 p.m. and do a meet-and-greet afterward with VIP ticketholders at about 1 a.m.
Instead, the gym-loving celebrity showed up at 1 a.m., played about 45 minutes and didn’t meet with fans, attendees said.
People started leaving half past midnight, said Michelle Bruno, who attended Sunday’s event. “People were getting upset and aggravated after the fact that it was getting to be 12:30. You saw a lot of people leaving at that time because they didn’t think he was going to show up,” she said.
But when he did show, the rest of the night turned out to be pretty fun, the 26-year-old said.
Members of the media were told ahead of time they would be given a couple minutes to speak with Pauly D but were told Sunday night that Pauly D’s manager did not want him speaking to the media.
The Jersey Shore star didn’t say much during his appearance, but he did drop some of his famous lines from the show, said Marco Fiore, who was a volunteer photographer for the event organizer, V3.
In addition to hollering, “Show me how you fist pump,” Pauly D ended the night with a kicker, Fiore said. “When he ended his set, he was like, ‘The cabs are here,’ in his little accent.”
V3 had been working with Pauly D’s booking manager for seven months before finally getting a confirmation from the celebrity right after the last day of shooting for Jersey Shore’s third season.
Dylan Davison said he admired Pauly D for his success with women on the show. The 18-year-old attended the event wearing a GTL T-shirt.
The men of Jersey Shore coined the term, which stands for their daily routine of gym, tanning and laundry – a practice Dylan says he now applies in his everyday life.
Girls decked out in clubwear and stilettos said they came out because Pauly D was their favourite character on the show, and the cutest.
Jersey Shore is a racy MTV reality series following the lives of young people living in the beach resort strip along New Jersey’s shoreline. The hit show is in its second season, but has received flack for its stereotypical depiction of Italian-Americans.
One mother at the Hamilton event had brought her daughter to the Pauly D party, but wasn’t sure about the show’s values. “Given my background as Italian, I find it kind of insulting,” said Ines Di Gasbarro. “I don’t want people to think this is typical of Italian youth … They’re just entertaining people.”
