JAYONCE.

Jay-Z & Beyoncé getting married for real this time?
E! News is reporting this:


Either Jay-Z's love has gotten the best of Beyoncé, or the crazy-in-lovebirds are playing one heck of an April Fools' joke on the world.

The longtime couple obtained a New York wedding license Tuesday morning, according to People.

A Knowles rep refused to comment on the singer's betrothed status or her seemingly pending nuptials, but People quoted an unnamed source saying the license, obtained in Scarsdale Village, a suburb of Westchester County, is good for 60 days. (A quick glance at the calendar shows that the "I dos" would go down by June 1, if the report is true.)

With the news of the possibly very big next step in their relationship coming after business hours on the East Coast, the county clerk's office couldn't immediately be reached for confirmation.

Knowles, 26, and her 38-year-old beau, whose real name is Shawn Carter, have been dating for more than five years and, despite the inevitable breakup rumors and stepping-out speculation that has dogged them at times, the duo is apparently still going strong.

And this isn't the first time it's been suspected that wedding bells were going to chime for the power couple; although, what with the purported paperwork and all, this could be the first time the stories ring true.

In December 2006, the New York Post had them planning to tie the knot on the island of Anguilla while out of town to ostensibly celebrate Jay-Z's 37th birthday. The rival Daily News immediately quashed the item with a report that the "03 Bonnie & Clyde" pair had already returned from their Caribbean getaway, so the party had already occurred—and no one returned to these shores newly married.

I mean... I never understood this couple to begin with. Come on, its beautiful BEYONCE and Jay-Z. The guy is loaded and is a hall of fame rapper, but seriously...look at him and look at her. I guess she's learned to look elsewhere, like his wallet or his cars, jewelry, clothes, etc. Sorry, that sounds mean. I know you're thinking it too. Then again, I guess money ain't got a face...!

MOVING.

My company has decided to move from the beloved Financial District of San Francisco to space near the ballpark. Working in the financial district is an experience I think every professional should have. The hustle and bustle of the city in the 9-5 hours creates an energy most comparable to NYC, in my opinion. Walking around town in the middle of the afternoon and shopping (during work hours!) is something I'm definitely going to miss.

Check the new space though. Something outta a movie set, so I ain't mad. Game of pool anyone?







I know its going to be a wack Giants season, but at least I get free parking to games now.

THE BIG BREAKUP

"Giant makeover: Bonds' images gone from AT&T Park"

The San Francisco Giants have now removed prominent tributes in the stadium to Barry Bonds, who has steroid allegations and perjury charges hanging over his head.

The left-field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing Hank Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds' home runs in relation to Aaron posted.



There are no "756" signs -- signifying the home run he hit to break Aaron's record -- anywhere in the park, in fact. A team spokeswoman said the Giants would put up a plaque to note where he had hit his last homer with the team.

Last season Bonds passed Aaron to become Major League Baseball's career home run record leader, packing the stands at AT&T Park on scenic San Francisco Bay. He finished the 2007 season with 762 career home runs.

Bonds, 43, has said he is fit and ready to play, but in a media event Wednesday, team president Peter Magowan said that they would not accept Bonds back, even at a reduced price.

"No, not this team," he said, standing along the first-base line of a ballpark where images of Bonds have been removed. "We're going in a new direction; that would not be going in a new direction. The time has come to turn the page.

"We're very respectful, at least I am, appreciative of all the contributions he made to the Giants over all that long period of time, but the time came when we needed to go in a new direction."

Bonds' legal case is expected to drag out for many months after a federal judge told prosecutors to restructure the indictments against the seven-time National League Most Valuable Player and single-season home run record holder.

With a team that many sports columnists expect to land in last place this year, the Giants face difficulties in building as much excitement as it did in the past season. But Magowan said the team still expected to sell 3 million tickets in 2008.

"If we miss, we are not going to miss by much," he said.

"Last year, we had the benefit of the All Star Game, Barry Bonds' home run chase, the first time we played the Yankees since 1962, three weekend home series with the Dodgers. All of these things increased our attendance about 150,000 last year from where it had been."

Noting the Giants, who mark their half-century anniversary in San Francisco in 2008, were in a process of rebuilding, Magowan said: "We're asking our fans to be patient.

"With Barry Bonds gone, this is a club at the beginning of a new era."

CONGRATS TO NEIL AMRSTRONG!

Wow! Another point for the pinoys! Congrats to DJ NEIL AMRSTRONG for being chosen as JAY-Z's new tour DJ! This comes as great news, after A-Trak had to decline on the position for personal career reasons, and now a talented DJ in Neil will make the Jay-Z tour that much more soulful.
(thanks Dan for filling me in pronto!)



Can you imagine...Jay's gonna be sayin' and pointin' "Thas mah man right there, DJ Neil Armstrong ya'll!"

Is he gonna get a Roc chain too?

AUDRINA of THE HILLS...

...is a freak. Nude photos surfaced of The Hills starlett this week.

"Sources say the beauty from a wealthy Orange County family was a natural in front of the camera and loved every second of the shoot at an LA mansion.
They told how she was thrilled with the results and particularly the raunchy schoolgirl pics.
But now the pictures she urged a photographer friend to take when she was 19 could come back to haunt her.
A source told how Audrina had had enough of posing for bikini shots and decided she wanted to be a glamour model.
"She was determined to go ahead with it, even though she was warned to wait and see how her modelling went before doing topless stuff.
"She was always comfortable in front of the camera and wasn't shy or nervous about doing a nude shoot.
But Audrina's hopes of impressing glamour magazine editors were shattered when Playboy showed no interest in her pictures."

MUSIC REVIEW

Got my hands on Danity Kane's Sophomore album "Welcome To The Dollhouse" last night and I listened to the entire album today. I must say, I skipped through every song (16 tracks) except for like 3 tracks. The songs all sounded the same to me, and they don't even have a SLAPPER (like Showstopper on their first record) on it! All Vegas-sounding songs, which I can usually feel every now and then, but once they all started sounding similar, I knew I wasn't going to be bumpin' this album very long.



During my download spree, I did come across a gem. I downloaded the Teedra Moses "Live from the Jungle" Mixtape. I really don't understand why she hasn't blown up the way I'd imagine her to, but nonetheless, I will support her and her music always!
Here's a treat ya'll.... Download it HERE!
