RAPPER EMINEM TEAMS WITH NIKE

Eminem has teamed with Nike to auction off a limited-edition series of Air Max sneakers to benefit the rapper's Marshall Mathers Foundation and NineMillion.org, an agency dedicated to protecting refugees worldwide. The partnership will see the Shady Records CEO design eight models of the popular shoe, and they will be available to bid on at Nike stores and via eBay.

BEYONCE'S FATHER COMES TO HER RESCUE

Proud papa Mathew Knowles says enough is enough — people should stop picking on his daughter. In the wake of the latest rumor that Beyoncé's B'Day is being pushed back from its September 5 release date, the singer's manager has come out swinging. On Thursday (August 24), he released a statement attacking the haters. "It is apparent that there is a consistent plan by some to create chaos around Beyoncé's B'Day album release on September 5 in the U.S.," he said. "First, it was a petition against the single 'Deja Vu,' then a rumor regarding conflict between Beyoncé and Rihanna, seizures caused by the 'Ring the Alarm' video, putting out a single to compete with LeToya's album and now, to add to all the ridiculous rumors, my plan to postpone the release of her B'Day album. What will be next? Beyoncé's cut off all her hair? Dyed it green? Maybe she's singing the songs in reverse with some hidden subliminal message!" Knowles went on to say he is pleased with the success of "Deja Vu" and outlined a plan for his daughter to have three singles in the marketplace at once. He also noted that B has not been thrown off-course by the distractions."

OSAMA BIN LADEN HEARTS WHITNEY HOUSTON

The NY Post reports that terrorist Osama bin Laden had a crush on singer-turned-actress Whitney Houston and wanted to make her his wife after killing her husband Bobby Brown. Sudanese poet and novelist Kola Boof (37), who claims to have once been Osama's sex slave, writes this in her autobiography - Diary of a Lost Girl. “He told me Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. He would say how beautiful she is, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband - Bobby Brown,” Page Six quoted her as saying. According to her, Osama often talked about killing Brown, and couldn't stop talking about his favorite singer for whom her had “lofty plans”. But, she adds, the 9/11 terror mastermind hated Whitney’s hairstyle, saying. "Why do you wear your hair braided? Only monkeys did that.”
