JAY-Z TO RELEASE BLUEPRINT 3

Could Hov be ready to release yet another album? Let the rumor mill tell it....On Wednesday night, the Internet went crazy when a Timbaland-produced Jay song called "Ain't I" leaked.

The record had several drops from DJ Clue promoting it as a song from Blueprint 3 and saying that we can also find it on his mixtape I Am Legend Part 1.

"I'm a hustler's hustler/ a gangster's gangster/ I'm a rapper's rapper/ Your favorite, ain't I?" Jay-Z spits

"I took a pay cut to become a exec/ So the next mother----er can earn his paycheck/ And even though these n---as talk greasy 'bout me/ Ask these n---as how they gonna eat without me!"

I'm a Hov fan so I'm not mad at him.

The series has received an eight-episode order and will begin production in April for a launch in late spring or summer. The show, which the CW unofficially describes as "The Devil Wears Prada" meets "The Assistant," is eyed as a potential companion piece for "Top Model."

"It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine," Mok said. "At the same time they're trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world."

MINORITY REPORT: BRITNEY SPEARS

Britney Spears was taken by ambulance from her Studio City, Calif., home shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday.

The singer, 26, was transported to UCLA Medical Center for another 72-hour emergency hold. Police or a mental health professional can request one if a person is deemed to be a danger to him and herself or others. (Spears was held at Cedars-Sinai on such an order earlier this month, following her Jan. 3 custody standoff with police.) Spears's mother, Lynne – who's has been in the midst of a tense reunion with her daughter – friend Alli Sims and confidant Sam Lutfi were all inside the gated mansion when police and the fire department arrived.

What brought on the hospitalization? "She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman," says a Spears family source. "Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening."

Sounds like an intervension went down here. Lets hope this girl gets some help. I still like Brit Brit. I'd love to see her get it together.

MO'NIQUE SETS IT STRAIGHT ON OPRAH

So Mo’Nique set the record straight about her open marriage on Oprah this week:

“When I said I had an open marriage, people automatically jumped to sex. They automatically went there. But I’ve been best friends with my husband since we were 14 years old. When we say open, we’re very honest. There are no secrets. Often times you have people that are married, but they’re strangers, and we refuse to be those people. I’ve had to sneak and I’ve had to lie, and I don’t want to do that any more. But my husband is so awesome and so fine and so—oh, girl. … No other man can compare."

FOXY BROWN DENIED

A New York judge denied Foxy Brown's request to get out of jail early so she can go to California for an ear examination and for a repair of her electronic ear implant.

According to The Associated Press, the Manhattan district attorney's office reported on Monday that State Supreme Court Justice Melissa Jackson will not allow Brown, 29, to go to Los Angeles for the treatment, which prosecutors argued she could get just as easily in New York, where she is being held for violating her probation.

WYCLEF CONTINUES TO THROW LAURYN UNDER THE BUS

So Wyclef is still throwing Lauryn under the bus with bad presss.

"Half of your face has red make-up, the other half green, and your hair is barely combed. How you gonna let people see you like that?" Wyclef said in his latest rant against former Fugees bandmate Lauryn Hill.

"Someone is pimping Lauryn right now. A true friend would say, 'You have to check yourself into a psychiatrist,'" Wyclef told Giant magazine.

This is the latest in the 35-year-old Haitian's tough-love talk about his one-time lover. In November, he told Rolling Stone he thought the Doo Wop warbler was bipolar and even said he appealed to her mother for help.

Meanwhile, Lauryn is expecting her fifth child with Bob Marley's son, Rohan.

I guess one has to wonder why he's not being that true friend that he speaks of...

KWAME KILPATRICK'S COS RESIGNS

Christine Beatty announced this morning that she will resign her position as Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's chief of staff.

The mayor's office received the letter today and made it public.

In the letter, Beatty said it is "clear that I can no longer effectively carry out the duties of chief of staff.

"Therefore, this letter serves as my resignation effective Feb. 8, 2008 to allow for an orderly transition of my duties with the new chief of staff," she said.

"I painfully regret the devastation that the recent reports have caused to the citizens of Detroit, to my co-workers to the mayor's family and to my family and friends."

Beatty, Kilpatrick's chief of staff and an old friend from high school, has been the center of a sexual scandal involving her and the mayor. Both Kilpatrick and Beatty swore under oath in an earlier trial that they have never been involved in an affair. However, scores of text messages between Beatty and Kilpatrick -- dating back to 2002 -- seem to contradict their denials.

RIHANNA LETS LOOSE

MONICA GIVES BIRTH

So Monica gave birth to her second child Romelo Montez Hill recently and her celebrity media friend - Sandra Rose has pics.

See Here

So Sandra gets heated when you talk about Monica and yet her second baby out of wedlock....but lets keep it real. We're not talking about some young girl who doesn't know better. When you know better you should do better and that's why people give Monica a hard time. I've never seen anyone so hell bent on being a hood rat. It really burns me to see a young black woman with a platform do nothing but wallow.

LIL WAYNE HOT AT ENTOURAGE

So it's safe to say that Weezy isn't the happiest person around these days. An Arizona court date delayed Weezy's appearance in Richmond, VA, Friday (Jan. 25) but once he arrived onstage, he made his frustrations clear by ripping into members of his entourage.

"I just flew in about ten minutes ago--I just had to deal with a whole lot of bullsh*t," Wayne addressed the crowd. "I want you to know that none of you up in this building have nothing to do with this attitude I got right now. I'm not the most happiest man right now."



Wayne delivered a scathing glare and pointed at the men onstage behind him as he finished, "When your friends turn their back on you and say they're gonna be there for you..... I just want all the motherf*ckers that been with me that ain't gone never be with me again to know, I did it for y'all! Those who won't be with me no more, Die!"

Ouch!!

OBAMA WINS SOUTH CAROLINA

Barack Obama is back in the game again after trampling over Senator Hillary Clinton in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday (January 26). It was the second win for the Illinois senator in the race for the party's presidential nomination, and the Dems' first contest in the South this cycle. Clinton beat out former Senator John Edwards for second place.

With most precincts reporting, Obama trounced Clinton by an almost two-to-one margin, taking 55 percent of the vote to her 27 percent. Edwards netted 18 percent. According to CNN, more than 530,000 votes were counted, with most precincts reporting. By contrast, only 290,000 Democratic voters turned out for the 2004 primary, according to The Washington Post.

Entering to chants of "Yes, we can," Obama addressed the crowd, thanking his wife and children before showing his appreciation to South Carolina's residents for a much-needed win. He was all smiles upon entering, but, perhaps in light of growing tension between his and Clinton's campaigns, his speech was notably more forceful than the one he gave after his win in the Iowa caucus earlier this month.

"Over two weeks ago, we saw the people of Iowa proclaim that our time for change has come," he said. "But there were those that doubted this country's desire for something new, who said Iowa was a fluke, not to be repeated again. Well, tonight the cynics who believed that what began in the snows of Iowa was just an illusion were told a different story by the good people of South Carolina."
