Congress Introduces “Jay-Z & Beyonce” Bill After Cuba Trip
Vlad TV reports:
If passed, the bill would limit funds to the Department of Treasury to approve “travel-related or other transactions incident to non-academic educational exchanges.”
Rep. Ander Crenshaw of Florida used Jay and Beyonce’s trip as an example of how loopholes could be made for travel to Cuba.
“I think that if we’re going to say that we have this policy in place that relates to travel in Cuba, that it ought to be enforced, and that becomes a grey area where they’re probably not really following the guidelines.”
Hov addressed backlash from the trip on “Open Letter” off his new album, rapping, “I’m in Cuba, I love Cubans/This communist talk is so confusing.”

330 (@330_music) Feat. OSK (@os_kill) – Paparazzi Love
For decades we’ve relied on Stevie Wonder and Disney to provide music for our birthday celebrations. 330’s new single “Paparazzi Love” is yet another option on the list of birthday songs.
Originally inspired as a birthday gift, “Paparazzi Love” details an evening full of surprises 330 had lined up for an ex-girlfriend’s birthday. When asked about the song, 330 says, “The song feels good. First of all, who knew Kill could sing like that? She sounds great on the record. I wanted to create something that was celebratory and honest; personal but relatable. Wishing my girl a happy birthday but acknowledging that it was just a moment in time and that it was likely that in the following moment, I will screw something up. That’s actually what happened: when she got home from the concert things went all the way wrong lol.”
Months after the botched night, 330 teamed up with producer and singer/songwriter OSK to rerecord the song. Jerome Vo, 330’s former high school classmate, created the soulful beat and features live guitar by Bobby Dunne. Young Yankee of Charged Up Studios expertly recorded and mixed the record in Richmond, VA.
Addressing the paparazzi reference, 330 explains, “It’s the idea that people are paying attention—sometimes more so than we appreciate. Everyone has been in a relationship where they were the subject of gossip and disapproval. ‘Let’s make it a headline story’ … basically, let’s give them something positive to talk about. Let’s go out and have a good time celebrating you.”
You can find “Paparazzi Love” on 330’s Bandcamp page or download her mobile app. What’s next for 330? Fans should expect an EP released in late summer 2013.

UPDATE: Lamar Odom Attacks Paparazzi (Video); Reason For Attack Revealed
UPDATE: This was apparently due to the paparazzi asking a line of questions related to recent cheating rumors within his marriage to Khloe Kardashian. TMZ Reports:
The violent incident was captured on video … where Mr. Khloe Kardashian was seen going into the back of a car belonging to one of the paps, and chucking all of the guy’s equipment into the middle of a busy street.
He then walked across the street and smashed another photog’s car with a metal bar, then picked up all the gear from the street and put it in his trunk.
Curiously, right after raging against the paps, Lamar also had a run-in with a fan — and couldn’t have been nicer. Watch the video … it’s kinda bizarre.
It’s unclear why Lamar was so angry … when the video starts he’s already digging through the pap’s car.
So far, no one’s filed a police report. We haven’t heard back from Lamar’s reps.
