| August 29, 2008: "Jay-Z's Rep Explains The Reason Why He Decided To Sell His 40/40 Club In Las Vegas"
After confirming that he and his partners have sold their 40/40 Club in Las Vegas for an undisclosed amount, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z explains why they are doing the sale. His spokesman Ron Burkowitz tells the Los Angeles Times that "the club was doing good business," in answer to rumors that the hip-hop appeal of the place was not welcome in Sin City. Burkowitz adds, "If you went there on a weekend you saw it was packed. Maybe, at other times it wasn't as crowded. But that is true everywhere. The club was doing fine. What is going on here is that [40/40's 24,000 square feet] is valuable real estate, and they came to us with an offer and this was a good business deal." Since new owners Las Vegas Sands Corp. has a gaming license, the new club can offer gambling. It is still unknown how much they paid for the sale. New York Post estimated the offer to be above $44 million. *** August 20, 2008: "Jay-Z Wants To Headline The Glastonbury Festival Again" Jay-Z wants to headline Glastonbury again. The "99 Problems" rapper would be happy to return to the British music festival following his controversial performance this year. He said: "Of course I'd come back. It was incredible. I'm glad it went that way, because the world was watching." "It's not about genres. It's about good music and bad music." The 38-year-old star opened his Glastonbury act with a cover of "Wonderwall," a deliberate swipe at Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher who publicly criticized the decision to book him as a headline act. He also broadcast some of the rocker's derogatory comments on giant video screens before showing clips of celebrities and royalty made to look like they were endorsing his performance. He added to MTV: "I have a sense of humor like a Brit', so I thought people would appreciate that. Noel Gallagher was one of the biggest detractors, so I figured that was a cool way to start the show." Noel has since said his comments about the star were "misrepresented." *** August 14, 2008: "Jay-Z Selling Half Of His 40/40 Club For $44 Million" Jay-Z is reportedly set to sell part of his upmarket sports bar chain 40/40 for $44 million. The rapper is said to be in talks with the Las Vegas Sands Corporation to sell them 50 percent of his company. A source told the New York Post newspaper: "That will make the 40/40 club in Las Vegas the largest sports booking operation. People can gamble both at the tables and on games. The Sands will also have the right to open 40/40 clubs in London and across Europe." Jay-Z is one of the most financially successful hip-hop artists in the world. He co-founded the Roc-A-Fella empire, which includes record labels Roc-A-Fella Records and Roc-La-Familia, Roc-A-Fella Films and urban clothing line Rocawear. In March 2007, he sold the rights to the Rocawear brand for a reported $204 million. The musician owns part of the New Jersey Nets basketball team and is said to be in the process of negotiating a contract with concert promoter Live Nation, worth a reported $150 million. *** August 11, 2008: "Jay-Z Reveals Reason For Keeping Mum On Marriage With Beyonce In September Issue Of Vibe Magazine" Rap mogul Jay-Z has opened up about why he never publicly confirmed his marriage in an interview with Vibe magazine as he graces its double issue cover. For the magazine's 15th Anniversary Juice Issue this September, the hip-hop artist appears on the two unique cover photos of the month's double issue. Jay-Z was presented 15 questions about him, one of it pertaining to his not-so-secret marriage to longtime girlfriend Beyonce Knowles in April. Although enough evidence was gathered, neither bride nor groom has ever confirmed nor talked about the nuptials. For the "Kingdom Come" hitmaker, it was something he just wanted to keep to himself. He said, "I just think it's really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself... You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you..." "I shared so much of my life, my childhood, and my family, the death of my nephew with the world. I should have something to hold onto." *** July 15, 2008: "Jay-Z Calls Amy Winehouse A "Weeble"" Troubled singer Amy Winehouse may wobble a lot but she doesn't fall down. According to rapper superstar Jay-Z, the "Rehab" songstress is simply a "weeble." Jay-Z apparently was just paying the 24-year-old Grammy Award-winning artist a compliment when he compared her to a classic toy. He tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "She's like that toy from the 80s, the Weeble." "They had an ad campaign that went, 'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.' Well, that's Amy. You always think she's going to collapse but she always gets back up again." *** July 15, 2008: "Jay-Z Imagines His Audience "Naked" While On Stage" Jay-Z imagines his audience naked when he performs live. The rapper doesn't care how many people he plays in front of because they are all nude in his head. He joked: "They're just people. Don't matter if it's 11 people or 11,000. I just imagine them naked." Jay-Z also revealed he was shocked by the size of the site for the Glastonbury music event. He added to Britain's The Observer Music Monthly magazine: "What was breathtaking was the entrance to Glastonbury, when you come over the hill and you see those tents. I was actually in the bathroom of the bus at the time. Everyone was like, 'Oh my God! Come out! You've got to come out now!'" "I was like, 'Wait a minute. This isn't a festival. This is a country! This is tent city.' That's when it stopped being just a concert." *** July 1, 2008: "Jay-Z Admits To Having A "British" Sense Of Humor" Rapper Jay-Z's British sense of humor inspired his Glastonbury cover of Oasis song 'Wonderwall'. The hip-hop star, who opened his controversial headline slot at the music festival with the band's 1995 hit, says he was just poking fun at one of his "biggest detractors" Noel Gallagher. Jay-Z said: "That's my sense of humor. I have a sense of humor like a Brit so I thought people would appreciate that. Noel Gallagher was one of the biggest detractors so I figured that was a cool way to start the show." Jay-Z also confessed he is a fan of the ballad and often plays the song at his restaurant. He added to MTV: "I play 'Wonderwall' a lot at my restaurant on Friday nights - after we've had a few drinks it works really well. That's how I knew it." Jay-Z's set went down a storm and has been universally praised. Summing up the performance, Glastonbury organizer Michael Eavis said: "It's up to Noel if he wants to criticize the Jay-Z thing. Jay-Z triumphed in the end. Everyone knew all the words, as far back as I could see they knew them, it's incredible. Absolutely amazing." Noel Gallagher sparked a huge debate over the rapper's performance, after he said: "Glastonbury has the tradition of guitar music. I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong." *** June 27, 2008: "Jay-Z Admits Being Once Poor Motivated Him To Succeed Jay-Z says being poor motivated him to succeed. The rapper revealed his rise to stardom stems from a desire to escape from his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. He said: "Being broke is a great motivator. Home was like the cliche of rough. When I was nine I saw someone shot for the first time." Jay-Z saying his favorite bands include British group Coldplay - whose new album 'Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends' recently topped the U.S. album charts. Jay-Z said: "My favorite music is heartfelt music, I don't believe in the separation of music. I listen to Coldplay, 50 Cent and Kanye West." *** May 26, 2008: "Jay-Z And Beyonce Knowles Buy Marital Home" Superstar couple Shawn Jay Z Carter and Beyonce Knowles have bought their first house as husband and wife - in the same New York county that they wed in last month (Apr08). the stars have now decided to call Scarsdale home, after purchasing a modern colonial property measuring 15,000 square-feet in the quiet community, according to sources. *** April 24, 2008: "Jay-Z Speaks About Acting Career" Jay-Z is set to follow in the footsteps of wife Beyonce Knowles by appearing on the silver screen. Jay-Z is considering a career in the film industry once his record contract comes to an end. He says, "I want to get into the movie business. I love films and that's why I feel I would do a good job. "My recording contract runs out after two more albums. Who knows what I will do after that." Knowles has appeared in hit movies Dreamgirls, The Pink Panther and Austin Powers in Goldmember. *** April 18, 2008: "Beyonce And Jay-Z, Fighting Already?!" Within less than two weeks the couple managed to break of a record with a public fight. It all started at the Hollywood Bowl for a Barack Obama fundraiser a few days ago. When the DJ played one of Beyonce's biggest hits, Crazy In Love, Jay-Z reportedly spazzed out and said, “F**k that! Sorry Bey, but f**k that - let’s play something else.” Beyonce walked off immediatley, of course angry as hell. After he came off stage, she confronted him, demanding to know what the hell his comments had been about. She was gesturing wildly and not looking happy.” A source said, “He meant it as a joke, but Beyonce didn’t take it that way." *** April 2, 2008: "Beyonce Knowles And Jay-Z Take Out Marriage License" Beyoncé Knowles and longtime beau Jay-Z have taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. According to a source, the pair obtained a license Tuesday morning. The document is valid for 60 days. A rep for Beyoncé told, "No comment." Jay-Z's spokesperson could not be reached. Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, have been dating since 2002, though the couple have stood reluctant to discuss their relationship publicly. Rumors about their romance began circulating after the singer appeared on Jay-Z's song "'03 Bonnie & Clyde," followed by collaborations on Beyoncé's solo hit "Crazy in Love," in 2003. While the two have remained tight-lipped about the state of their romance, by no means has Beyoné brushed off talk of marriage. In December 2006, the singer told InStyle, "You can't rush a man into anything – whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children." Earlier that month the pair were besieged by rumors that they were all set to get hitched in the Caribbean – a rumor that was quickly scotched by their reps. *** Music Rapper JAY-Z pictures (pic) and photo gallery, albums covers pictures.
