Jay-Z - Page 8

Since Barack Obama’s election in 2008, Jay-Z, aka Shawn Corey Carter, and his bodacious bride Beyoncé have been right at the top of the list of Obama darlings. It was Beyoncé who serenaded the slow-dancing duo into the White House

It’s wonderful that a crush of celebrities gathered over the weekend to both celebrate Leonardo DiCaprio’s 38th birthday and raise money for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Did they have to partake in so many one percenter flourishes while nearby

Beyonce and her husband, hip hop star Jay-Z, have more in common than just their singing careers. Earlier this week, Jay-Z swapped in the word “Mitt” for “bitch” in a live rendition of his hit song “99 Problems.” Not to

Lynn Sweet, columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, is once again banging that liberal drumbeat that Romney’s voters are all racist white folks because crowds at Obama’s rallies are more “diverse.” Talking of Monday’s Obama rallies with aging rocker Bruce Springsteen,

President Obama’s big rally tonight turned out to be just like his first, opening salvo of the 2012 campaign: a half-empty arena in Ohio. According to RealClearPolitics‘ Scott Conroy, there were “empty seats scattered around the upper-level of Nationwide Arena … Four

The Obama camp is standing behind the president’s claim that Americans should vote for him out of “revenge” against GOP challenger Mitt Romney. So is it any surprise to hear Jay-Z, one of Obama’s biggest celebrity boosters, using the GOP

The various sound stages, sets and recording studios must be rather quiet these days. A crush of entertainers, including Sheryl Crow, Danny DeVito, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and John Legend all stopped what they were doing to offer some last-minute

Rocker Bruce Springsteen will stump for President Obama in western Pennsylvania Friday afternoon, less than one week after Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan campaigned in the region. Springsteen is scheduled for a concert Friday evening at Consol Energy Park in

Celebrities are reading the same polls the rest of us can see in the media. President Barack Obama’s chances for reelection are sinking, and liberals like Bruce Springsteen, Jack Black and Jay-Z are rushing to drag the beleaguered leader over

Beyoncé is one of the biggest stars in the country, a beautiful singer at the top of her profession. She isn’t an A-list movie star… yet. Her work in the celebrated “Dreamgirls” didn’t make that happen, nor did appearances in

Businesswoman and philanthropist Susan Crown, a former Obama supporter and a member of one of Chicago’s most influential families, told an audience of over 300 women and men, “In the midst of the Obama administration, I became profoundly disappointed, disillusioned

Hip hop star Jay-Z is about as one percent as it gets, to use Occupy Wall Street negative lingo for the super rich. The rapper also favors smaller government. So, shouldn’t that mean he’s voting for Mitt Romney Nov. 6? Not

Today, aboard Air Force One, traveling press secretary for the Obama campaign Jen Psaki doubled down on the Obama team strategy of playing down expectations for next week’s debate with Mitt Romney. She explained to the press: The President will

If our corrupt media believe a Republican said something inappropriate at a fundraiser about the 47% of the American people the rest of us carry, the corrupt media attempt to destroy his campaign over it. However, if a sitting president appears

The media constantly reports that Mitt Romney isn’t like us. He’s aloof, rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams and can’t relate to Joe Sixpack. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is hobnobbing with big name celebrities – again – while the Middle East

Last night pop stars Jay Z and Beyonce held a high-ticket fundraiser for President Obama at his 40/40 Club in Manhattan. For a mere $40,000 per ticket, guests could party down and rub elbows with the President. While supporters and

Who would want to sit in the Oval Office this week? The economic news is six kinds of awful, the Middle East is aflame once more with anti-American rioting and gas prices continue to climb. That’s why why need a

Beyonce Knowles is the latest in a long line of celebrities sending fundraising e-mails on behalf of President Barack Obama’s campaign. Once more, the missives combine cheesiness and creepiness along with some fake intimacy.  Obama cannot make time to meet

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, and on that day President Obama snubbed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but did agree to appear on David Letterman’s show. Priorities. Now we’re learning that yesterday, you know, on 9/11, MTV

We now know another reason why Jay-Z turned on Occupy Wall Street. It’s hard to pretend to be part of the “99 percent” when you’re throwing lavish fundraisers for the president. Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé will host a fund-raiser for President Obama at the “Watch the

After rapper Jay-Z spoke out against Occupy Wall Street this weekend, calling the radical movement un-American, Russell Simmons tried to put him back in line, posting an essay Simmons hoped would “educate my long-time friend.” Simmons wrote, “Jay-Z Is Right 99

Try this on for hypocrisy:  Hip-hopper Kanye West, who attended an Occupy Wall Street rally in October, 2011, just gave rap superstar Jay-Z a $34,000 skull covered in 24-karat gold and red topaz gemstones. West even hired a private jet for delivery of

The only bigot in this equation is “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” star Anthony Mackie, who is obviously too bubbled in his pretty little Hollywood world to understand that defaming an entire ethnic group with a broad brush of lies is

Under the heading of “You can go back home again” (even if you once beat up your girlfriend and left her face a bloody mess), Chris Brown has been seen hanging out with Rihanna again. They were seen partying together for

In a scene similar to the 2012 Kid’s Choice Awards, Michelle Obama, her two daughters, and a posse of Secret Service agents recently took a 24-minute flight from Washington to Atlantic City to see Beyoncé strut her post-baby stuff at

People magazine on Wednesday named Beyonce the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for 2012, describing her as a force of nature, style icon and proud mother. The 30-year-old singer, a 16-time Grammy Award winner, told the big-selling magazine that her recently
