But even legends have to start somewhere, and though it seems like he's been at the top of his game since his first album, there was a time when Jigga was just an up-and-comer.

The man born Shawn Carter grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in the Marcy Houses, a housing project in the borough's Bedford-Stuyvesant… Continue

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer aren't wasting any time: the "True Blood" twosome are already hunting for their own love nest after getting engaged earlier this month.

SEAN PAUL FORCED TO CANCEL HIS SHOW IN BROOKLYN!

Sean Paul has been blazing a trail across the U.S. to promote his latest album, "Imperial Blaze" - and now it appears the dancehall star has burnt out his voice, at least for the moment.

The Jamaican born performer has been forced to cancel Monday night's performance in Brooklyn at the Martin Luther King Jr. concert series on the advice of his doctor.

"I am really disappointed that I will not be able to appear," the performer said in a… Continue

LOL! IT WAS THE BREAST DAY EVER! HUNDREDS OF WOMEN TOOK PART IN THE NATIONAL GO-TOPLESS DAY!

Some were shocked. Others disgusted. But for some, it was the breast day ever! Dozens of semi-nude women gave the city a Double-D eyeful Sunday when they bared their boobs in Central Park and then marched through the streets.

The daring display was part of "National Go-Topless Day" - indeed, there is such a thing - and stunned jaded New Yorkers and wide-eyed tourists alike.

"This is unbelievable - and super," said Dalvin Jan, 21,… Continue

$10 PACK OF CIGARETTES! HELL NO! THIS MAN STARTED GROWING HIS OWN TOBACCO!

Something unusual is cropping up alongside the tomatoes, eggplant and okra in Scott Byars' vegetable garden - the elephantine leaves of 30 tobacco plants.

Driven largely by ever-rising tobacco prices, he's among a growing number of smokers who have turned to their green thumbs to cultivate tobacco plants to blend their own cigarettes, cigars and chew. Byars normally pays $5 for a five-pack of cigars and $3 for a tin of snuff; the seed cost him… Continue

WTF! COPS ISSUED 7,432 TICKETS TO NEW YORKERS IN A 24 HOUR CELL CRACKDOWN!

New Yorkers are using their cars for a lot more than driving. Cops issued 7,432 tickets during this week's 24-hour crackdown on drivers caught yakking or texting on their cells while behind the wheel.

"I bought an earpiece this week - just in time, it turns out," said 42-year-old motorist DelRay Smith as he watched a cop pull over a driver on the West Side Highway Thursday night.

Getting caught with your hands on a cell instead… Continue

LOL! SHE SAY'S LADY GAGA STOLE HER SWAG & TRIED 2 RUN WITH IT! SAY'S LADY GAGA IS A POOR IMITATION OF HER!

It's the pop scandal of the century. Or, more accurately, it's the Twitter-trending topic of the past 20 minutes: Did Lady Gaga steal her look from Irish electro ice-maiden Roisin Murphy? Yes she did, according to Murphy herself, who told Irish Central: "Lady Gaga is just a poor imitation of me. She has copied my style."

And the pictures, courtesy of Idolator, would seem to bear her claims out:

Thing is, Lady Gaga is far from the only… Continue

THAT'S RIGHT BILLY! YOU PIMP THAT! BILLY RAY CYRUS SAY'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH A 16 YEAR OLD ON A POLE? HE DOSENT MIND!

Pole dance all you want, Miley. Daddy says it’s okay. Billy Ray Cyrus doesn’t think his 16-year-old daughter’s provocative dance during a performance at the Teen Choice Awards this month is a big deal.

"I just think that Miley loves entertaining people," he tells Access Hollywood of the swirl around a pole attached to an ice cream truck. "She loves singing [and] songwriting.”

WTF! DRUG POSSESSION NOW LEGAL IN MEXICO! THEY JUST GAVE ME ANOTHER REASON TO GO TO CANCUN!

Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin on Friday - a move that prosecutors say makes sense even in the midst of the government's grueling battle against drug traffickers.

Prosecutors said the new law sets clear limits that keep Mexico's corruption-prone police from shaking down casual users and offers addicts free treatment to keep growing domestic drug use in check.

"This is not legalization, this is… Continue

TONY YAYO FEELS SORRY FOR YOUNG BUCK! SAY'S HE'S ONLY SORRY BECAUSE HE'S BROKE! LOL!

You can never say never, but the chances of the Beatles of hip-hop getting back together are looking very slim. Last month, Game apologized for the friction he stirred while being a member of the G-Unit, and just recently Young Buck went the same route. But could 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo ever find it in their hearts to embrace their lyrically potent onetime crew members?

"Shout to Young Buck," Yayo said standing in the G-Unit offices… Continue
