Check out these awesome shots from Beyonce's kick-off show of her FIERCE summer tour in NYC Sunday night! She was lovingly accompanied by her husband Jay-Z for a few of her numbers and the duo look like they are putting on a damn good show!

Sasha Fierce is just looking glittery & glamorous! And slightly loca in love!

But, um, what is Jay-Z looking for down there? Not much comes out of there that you want your face that close to see. Course, what you do in the privacy of your own home is none of our business…unless you videotape it, then it becomes EVERYBODYS business!

Anybody go to the show?

[Thanks John P, always!]

Jay-Z has finally set a release date for his much-anticipated Blueprint 3 album.

Took him long enough!

The record, which will be released through Warner Music Group instead of Def Jam, is set to hit stores on September 11th.

The release date, as well as being eight years after the 9/11 attacks, is also the 8th anniversary of the release of the rapper's Blueprint album.

And it all comes full circle!

Jay-Z has officially split from his long-time label, Def Jam Records!

Jigga confirmed the news that he's left the record company which he's been so involved with for the past several years.

The rapper does say his time at Def Jam has been "a unique and fulfilling experience," but he won't disclose the real reason for the split.

Jay does, however, owe Def Jam one more record.

We smell a "Best Of" CD coming soon!

Jay-Z Bombs Big Time In Arizona!

wenn2402155jayz.jpg

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona shelled out $1.4 million clams to put on a concert at the Arizona Stadium recently featuring Jay-Z and Kelly Clarkson, thinking they'd make their money back and then some!

Those poor college co-eds in Arizona were dead wrong!

Just how far from right were they??

The 'Last Smash Platinum Bash' only earned $503,502 - putting the ASUA in almost a million dollars of debt!!!

The organization, which paid Jay-Z a whopping $750,000 to perform, were forced to empty their savings of $350,000 as well as accepting the aid of the Arizona University bookstore to help the students eliminate their debt sooner than later.

"Nobody predicted the economy would be the way it is now last May," said ASUA prez Tommy Bruce, whose organization gave away over 4,000 tickets to the concert under the assumption that the advertising revenue would come pouring in.

Shitty!

Rihanna Pow Wows With Hov

jayriri.jpg

Rihanna was spotted having din din on Thursday night at Katsuya restaurant in Los Angeles. And guess who was spotted at the restaurant with her?

Well, it wasn't that douche Chris Brown, thankfully!

It was the guy who signed RiRi up to Def Jam Recordings, her mentor, Jay-Z.

So, what could these two have been talking about? Well, we doubt it was any real business dealings cause they'd most likely do that in private. But they definitely wanted to get the point across that RiRi is coming back and doing well.

And speaking on behalf of her fans, we can't wait til she's spitting out new songs!

Rihanna And Kanye Smell

Retired rapper and mogul Jay-Z is finding creative ways to make money!

Parlux Fragrances, Inc has teamed with Jay-Z's Iconic Fragrances to sign up some music names with their own perfume.

The latest two artists getting their own fragrances will be Rihanna and Kanye West. Basically, RiRi and Kanye will get their scents out, and Jay-Z will get a piece of every sale.

Smart! At least for Jay-Z.

Parlux's CEO said they are happy to be working with Jay-Z's Iconic, adding "We are extremely excited to begin work on our projects with Rihanna and Kanye West. Each is an extremely highly regarded celebrity at the top of his or her profession who is undoubtedly going to make an indelible impression in the fragrance industry, just as each has done in the entertainment world."

As for Jay-Z, he also commented, saying "We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Parlux and their management team in the launch of these dynamic new brands. This venture will take what is already a successful franchise at Parlux to a new level."

And Jay-Z isn't alone.

Paris Hilton has also worked with Parlux, as has Jessica Simpson.

But please, whatever happens, DON'T give Robert Pattinson a fragrance contract!

Jay-Z Wants To Play Matchmaker To Khloe

wenn-jay-z-matchmaker.jpg

Jay-Z has done it all, and now the hip-hop entrepreneur wants to add matchmaker to his resume.

And he wants his first client to be recently singled Khloe Kardashian!

Really???

According to a source (Khloe herself, probably), "Jay thinks Khloe is a good girl…but she can't seem to pick out the players from the good guys."

Seems true, especially considering that her ex is a basketball player.

Jay-Z picked Beyonce, so that means his taste must be…all right.

Jay-Z's Fuming Mad

wenn16552682.jpg

Rihanna isn't the only one getting death threats.

Chris Brown better watch his back!

RiRi's mentor and the one responsible for discovering her, Jay-Z, is pissed off. BIG TIME.

A source says Jay-Z ws enraged when he heard that douchebag Brown allegedly hit RiRi.

The source adds, "He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew."

Another source had just confirms that during the fight, Chris "pimp-slapped her and punched her in the face."

So we can understand why Jay-Z is upset.

A few years ago RiRi even said in an interview "I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me. He's very protective. Jay has my best interests in mind. If it's a good guy, I know Jay won't shut him down. But if he's not, Jay will be, like, 'No, no, no.' "

Guess Brown fell through the cracks!

Living Up To Her DIVA Reputation

do-i-look-like-i-walk.jpg

According to Beyonce, a "diva is a female version of a hustler," but the multiple personality singer refused to hustle the four blocks to her car.

Finishing up with rehearsal for his pre-inaugural concert, Jay-Z and wifey B discovered that the streets around the theater had been shut down by police for the Big Day (you know the one!). The cops told the couple they'd have to walk to their waiting car four blocks away.

Well, Sasha refused to walk in the cold - in heels! - and the cops refused to yield to her demands, but….

The President's own Secret Service gave in and let their driver come around to fetch the diva and her hustler and take them to their hotel so they could change and return to the theater.

What do U think about Beyowulf getting this special treatment???
