Bruce Jenner May Or May Not Want To Be A Woman
Spotted on Perez Hilton:
We’ve seen some pretty bizarre cover stories in our time, but this one might just take the cake! And it’s not even The National Enquirer!!
There’s obviously nothing wrong with being transgendered, but now Star magazine has taken it upon themselves to “expose” Bruce Jenner amidst all the reports of his separation from Kris!
Talk about a rumor!! Yeesh!!According to their sources, this is the real reason behind their split and why Kris felt okay to say she regretted her divorce from Robert Kardashian. Their cover story further explains their accusations, reporting:
“Bruce has a feminine side. He likes growing his hair out, likes getting manicures and pedicures and won’t leave his house without his diamond earrings. And he’s obsessed with plucking his eyebrows! Kris has told Bruce that she will reveal his secret if he doesn’t go along with her plans about their split or their show.”
2014 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees Released (Video)
You can head here to check out the list and vote for who you think should make the cut amongsst next year’s nominees. From USA Today, where you can check out a breakdown of who’s nominated:
Twenty-five years after asking fans if they could feel the band’s “love buzz,” Nirvana is nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
It’s the first year that the influential grunge rockers have been eligible for consideration, joining the ranks of other first-time nominees such as Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates and Yes.
Also on the ballot are returning favorites from last year such as Chic, Deep Purple and The Meters, along with hip-hop luminaries N.W.A. and LL Cool J.
It’s a diverse field, one that will likely see fan support swell behind beloved acts such as Kiss and Nirvana, and spark debates over the inclusion of Chic and Hall & Oates, who may not seem like textbook examples of rock artists. “This year’s nominees represent the broad definition of ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ and include an array of artists whose fans are deeply passionate about the possibility of induction,” says Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
For a second year, the public will be given a chance to participate in the selection process, and can cast votes through Dec. 10…the top five artists, as selected by the masses, will make up a fans’ ballot, a single vote in choosing the 2014 inductees.
An artist or band becomes eligible for a nomination 25 years after releasing a debut single or album, meaning that the 2014 nominees released their first recording no later than 1988.
Inductees will be determined by the hall’s voting body of roughly 600 artists, historians and music industry professionals. The performers who receive the highest number of votes will be inducted April 10 in New York.

The Game Gives His Opinion On What Rappers He Could Knock Out
Vlad Tv reports:
Following the airing of the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night, Game let his feelings be known about the cypher part. He stated that without TDE, the whole cypher lineup would’ve been whack.
“If it wasn’t for TDE sh*t woulda been a**. #WestSideGotIt,” tweeted Game. “Never held my tonnage. Never will…Y’all love these n*ggas today..Jump on a new n*gga d*ck tomorrow. I been here, 5 albums…ALL PLATINUM.”
He then went on to diss several rappers, including 40 Glocc, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and even Gucci Mane, stating he could knock out each one.
Though the cyphers definitely irritated him, it seems like a “late” delivery pizza was the source of his real frustration. Check out the tweets above.

Adrian Peterson Has Another Secret Child
TMZ reports:
We’ve confirmed … the child is a 3-month-old little girl who’s living with her mom in Minnesota.
Sources close to the situation tell us the child’s last name on her birth certificate is listed as “Peterson.”
On the day Peterson’s 2-year-old son Ty passed away, the mother of AP’s 4th child posted an emotional message on her Facebook page about the situation.
“Today has been a long day finding out my [daughter’s] brother passed away and knowing that she never even got to meet him.”
Sources connected to the situation tell us … the mother of AP’s 4th child first met the NFL star while serving him as a VIP waitress at a place called Seven — a steakhouse, sushi joint and ultralounge all wrapped in one.
It’s unclear how involved Adrian has been in the child’s life — but the mother recently posted a photo showing the child decked out in Minnesota Vikings gear, so we’re guessing they’re cool
Senate Announces Deal To End Government Shutdown
Washington Post reports:
BREAKING NEWS: The Senate’s Democratic leader announced a deal Wednesday to raise the federal debt limit and end the government shutdown. The deal faces a Senate vote and must also be approved by the Republican-controlled House.
Top aides to Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are forging a deal to raise the debt limit through Feb. 7 and end the 16-day-old government shutdown, after a House Republican effort to forge a solution collapsed Tuesday in humiliating failure.

House Republicans Prepare to Submit Their Own Plan to End Government Shutdown
According to the LA Times;
House Republicans, moving to get ahead of a developing bipartisan proposal in the Senate, plan to move their own measure Tuesday to end the standoff over the federal budget. The House plan would include stronger measures targeting President Obama’s healthcare law, but still represents a major scaling back of GOP demands and may draw opposition from the most conservative Republicans in the chamber. House Speaker John A. Boehner was to outline the plan in a meeting of the Republican majority Tuesday morning. The proposal would accept key parameters of the emerging Senate deal – reopening the federal government by extending current spending levels through mid-January, and raising the nation’s debt limit through February.
I think the best quote for this latest piece of news comes from “moderate” congressman Charlie Dent; “There are no winners in this process, only losers. The only question is … Who is losing more?”
Love And Hip Hop Producer Furious Over Cast Leaks
Rhymes With Snitch Reports:
Anonymous sources at Lipstick Alley claim,
Mona threatened that if she finds out who leaked the potential cast she will fire them because they all signed a confidentiality contract. The reason for Mona’s anger was because she was trying to work things out with a few of the potential cast members like Karrueche who was interested in the show if she could promote her “The Kill” line, but had not discussed the proposal with Chris yet. Needless to say Chris was not happy when he got word via the internet that Karrueche was in talks to possibly join the show without talking it over with him first. And Karrueche didn’t know Chris ex Jasmine Sanders was in talks to be on the show either. Mona was also upset because Ray-J is locked into a contract with Oxygen doing their “Bad Girls Club Battle” and the only way he would be able to get around his contract with Oxygen was if he went on Love & Hip-Hop LA as a co-producer. Oxygen got word and reminded Ray of his obligation to them not VH1. Also Mona worked with Diddy during the Viacom days and was planning on working something out with him and possibly having Cassie play a miniscule role (Lola Monroe’s bff) on the show, but integral enough for her to promote her music and modeling career. Plus Tyga and Blac Chyna were in talks with E! and Mona wanted to lock them in with her show before E! became aware of their popularity, being E!’s new EVP (Jeff Olde) use to be the EVP at VH1, and worked with Mona to make Love & Hip-Hop the success it is now.
As you know Mona was quick to publicly deny that bootleg Houston cast with a bunch of nobodies which was totally false, but has yet to make a public statement denying the Love & Hip-Hop LA cast.

UPDATE: Future Back On Tour With Drake
UPDATE: “A source close to Hot 107.9” (in Atlanta) claims that Drake and Future have made amends and that is back on the “Would You Like A Tour?” tour…(Video above)
UPDATE: D Dot is claiming Future will be replaced by Jhene Aiko
After Future made controversial remarks about Drake’s new album in a Billboard magazine interview recently, he was pulled from Drake’s upcoming tour less than a week before the beginning and is said to be suing the Toronto rapper for $1.5 Million. More from Page 6;
Drake and Future are facing off in a $1.5 million feud after Drake demanded supporting act Future be kicked off his tour in a beef over a Billboard article…
Drake was booked to tour with Future and R&B singer Miguel on a 39-city schedule kicking off Friday in Pittsburgh.
Future went to Billboard magazine’s office on Oct. 4 to give editors a listen to his latest album, “Honest.” Associate editor Erika Ramirez published a story with quotes from Future, which she also posted on her Twitter feed…
“Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do.” – Future
— e. (@3rika) October 4, 2013
also: “I’ve been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better” – @1futurehttp://t.co/GqirDkYl5a
— e. (@3rika) October 4, 2013
Respect to Billboard, disappointed on being misquoted..always love for my fam Drizzy Drake
— FUTURE/FREEBANDZ (@1future) October 4, 2013
After reading the story, Future’s horrified managers argued with the mag that his quotes were off the record and taken out of context. We’re told the online story was edited, but Ramirez didn’t delete her tweets.

Future was fired, but then negotiations started to bring him back late last week. But over the weekend, Future pulled out for good after Drake’s camp demanded he make financial concessions. Future, who was set to earn about $40,000 per gig, is set to file a lawsuit this week against Drake for lost wages, or about $1.5 million.
The rappers’ beef is the latest drama in Drake’s tour. Last month, about a dozen dates were pushed back and rescheduled.
