Jay-Z

"Rap is the new rock n' roll," Kanye West said in a new, typically cocky interview. "We the new rock stars, and I'm the biggest of all of them. I'm the No. 1 rockstar on the planet." Well, sort of.

Chris Brown is having another pity party in JET magazine. This time, he wants the world to feel bad that he has a worse rap for beating Rihanna than Jay-Z has for hustling and maybe stabbing somebody. He's also expecting us to feel bad for him for having to juggle relationships with one of the most stunning and successful women on the planet (RiRi) and a gorgeous model (Karrueche Tran). Hear that

The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were a harrowing, heartbreaking moment in history -- but they also inspired, strengthened and further united the United States in rebuilding not only the rubble, but the patriotism and spirit that define the nation.

As they say, the family that wears matching footwear together stays together, which means that the Carter family is in it for the long haul. Even if no one actually says that and we just made it up.

Jay Z (formerly Jay-Z) recently lip-synced the song 'Picasso Baby' off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' in a gallery for six hours straight and called it "performance art." Now you can call it something else: an HBO film entitled 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film.' Bonus: Much like 'Hot Tub Time Machine' or 'Snakes on a Plane,' you immediately know what it's about.

Jay-Z has 99 problems, but a hyphenate ain't one.

In celebration of 'Magna Carta Holy Grail,' Jay-Z is getting illustrated.

Jay-Z is a busy guy. He's got Presidents of the United States to text. He doesn't have time for Chris Brown and Rihanna's adolescent drama. And he said so quite plainly.

"Who?" That was Jay-Z's response when asked if he buried the hatchet with legendary method actor Robert De Niro. Ice cold, Iceberg!

At the time of this writing, Jay-Z is currently at New York's Pace Gallery lip-syncing 'Picasso Baby' -- a song off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' -- and he has big plans to do it over and over. For six hours. You can keep your "Tilda Swinton in a box." THIS is performance art we can actually get behind.

Jay-Z had a rare but rewarding Twitter chat yesterday to answer questions about his most recent opus, 'Magna Carta Holy Grail.' Not too surprisingly, a lot of those questions centered around his Miley Cyrus shoutout in 'Somewhere in America' -- something that made Cyrus, who insists that she listens to "hood music," really proud.

Back in October, Jay-Z caused a stir when he rode the subway to a concert -- but the most memorable part of the whole thing was that he wound up next to an older white woman who had no idea who he was, leading to an unlikely and utterly adorable exchange. Thankfully for all of us, she's now back in the media with a review of Mr. Carter's new album 'Magna Carter Holy Grail' (albeit not next to the

Jay-Z isn't easily amused, but one thing in particular made the 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' rapper chuckle: Miley Cyrus' adorably Caucasian attempts at twerking.

Jay-Z has revealed the cover art for his latest album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' -- but instead of doing it the normal way, he did it by displaying it next to an actual copy of the Magna Carta. (We guess the Holy Grail was busy being fictional and couldn't attend.)

You love Jay-Z. We love Jay-Z. Beyonce loves Jay-Z. Most sane people can’t help but love Jay-Z. And this video illustrates exactly why.

She spent the past two years in the paltry No. 2 slot, but Oprah Winfrey is back -- she's been named Forbes' Most Powerful Celebrity of 2013.

To put an end to the rumors that Beyonce is pregnant, she and her husband Jay-Z's teams reached out to CBS, and its morning show's co-anchor Gayle King gave the audience a special message from the couple. Specifically? Neither star is pregnant.

The POTUS, Barack Obama, and his FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, were named the World's Most Powerful Couple by Forbes. No surprise there, but they were joined on the list by a slew of celebrity pairings as well.

The Beyonce Uterus Watch went into overdrive on Friday (May 17) with E! News citing sources who said Beyonce was very definitely pregnant with Jay-Z's second child. Something Jay-Z told a friend simply isn't true.

The "Beyonce is preggers" rumors have been pretty rampant lately, especially when she cancelled a recent concert due to alleged dehydration and exhaustion -- but a source close to the couple revealed it may not be fiction after all.
