Jay-Z to Female Fans: Keep Your Shirts On
Kanye West updated his blog last night with a video from a tour stop at Madison Square Garden that features a surprise performance by Jay-Z.
The two impresarios debut a never-before-heard track from Jay-Z’s anticipated forthcoming album, Blueprint 3, in which he implores the ladies out there: Keep your tops on, Beyoncé is in the house.
“Ask Yeezy / I got girls on shoulders showing me their chi-chis,” Jay raps to the NYC audience. “I’m like life ain’t fair / Chill baby girl, my girl is here.”
Who else gets the cold shoulder from Jigga during the show?
A-List Secrets: The Cars Jay-Z (and Everyone) Drives

What is the "it" or hot car for celebrities to have right now? Is it still cool to have the foreign sports cars, or are celebs going green and hybrid?
—T.M.
Hybrid? Sure, if you're talking about a hybrid that breeds expensive with super obnoxious.
Let's put it this way: When Beyoncé sang about another woman "in the 'Bach or the Rolls" for her single "Ring the Alarm," she happened to be talking about two cars owned by her then-boyfriend, Jay-Z. The rapper, now Beyoncé's lawfully wedded mogul, owns a Maybach and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. And both are the cars to have, dealers to the stars tell me. That is, if you're the type of star that can use "dukey rope" in a sentence.
Who else has managed to snag these $450,000 prestigemobiles? And what is inside those things, anyway? Find out—from Fiddy's car dealer, no less—after the jump.
Jay-Z's Slam Dunk Diss Track
If it were up to LeBron James, Jay-Z would win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year trophy.
The current playoff matchup between the Cleveland Cavilers and the Washington Wizards has triggered some bitter trash talk between King James and Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson, with Jay-Z inserting himself into the fray by recording a diss track on James' behalf.
In the midst of his Heart of the City tour with Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z recorded a freestyle rap over Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" that included lines like "I don't even know y'all name/ Too big for you to rap LeBron James" and "I don't know what y'all on/ It's chess, know the difference between a King and a pawn."
Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Wedding Ring Mystery

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are officially Mr. and Mrs. There's no doubt about it since the filing of their signed marriage license was made public.
So you’d think they’d start wearing wedding rings by now. But no, they’re still ringless.
My spies spotted the newlyweds at last night’s wrap party for Beyoncé’s upcoming flick, Cadillac Records, at New York’s Angels and Kings. (Others at the p.i.n.k. vodka-sponsored bash included Beyoncé’s costars Jeffrey Wright, Adrien Brody and Mos Def.)
And while I'm told the couple was lovey-dovey and holding hands, there wasn’t a bejeweled finger in sight—which seems to be in keeping with a Jay-Z sighting earlier this week at a Kanye West party in L.A., again not wearing a ring.
What gives you two?

Jay-Z and Beyoncé haven’t even officially confirmed they got hitched, but no matter. Assuming they are now mister and missus, I wanted to get some suggestions on what to buy the music power newlyweds.
