da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



Gunfire at Beyonce Concert?  False!

Gunfire did not erupt at Beyoncé’s concert in Brazil, despite various reports circulating around the Internet.

The 28-year-old entertainer allegedly ended her show early on Wednesday because of gunshots but JustJared.com can confirm that those rumors are completely false.

Beyonce played to record crowds on her recent tour in Brazil, without incident, including an audience of 60,000 in São Paulo on Saturday (February 6) and two sold-out shows in Rio on February 7 and 8.

Ms. Knowles is currently on the South American leg of her I AM… World Tour that plays Buenos Aires, Argentina tonight, Santiago, Chile on Sunday, Lima, Peru on Tuesday and Port-of-Spain, Trinidad on Thursday.

Birdman Disses R.Kelly

So apparently, the Khaled cover was a special issue just for Super Bowl weekend, and Baby graces the front page of the next official mag. In the article you can read here, Mr. Williams throws Kells under the bus. If you remember the duo were supposed to do an album together prior to The Best of Both Worlds.

What’s the worst business investment you’ve made throughout your career?
Probably the worst investment I did was fuckin’ with R. Kelly. That was a waste of my time. I could’ve made money if I wasn’t fuckin’ with that clown-ass nigga.

Student Loans 2010: Five Websites Everyone With Student Loans Should Know

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY


It's 2010. Do you know the current state of your student loans? It takes the average college graduate 15 years to repay his or her student loans, according to the College Board. A lot can happen over that time. So if you ever find yourself struggling to pay your college debts – or even just needing more information about the loans you're carrying – the following five websites just might prove to be indispensable.

1. http://www.nslds.ed.gov

This is the website for the National Student Loan Data System. If you're confused about your college debt, or don't even remember how many student loans you took out and who you owe, this is the place to start. The NSLDS database gives you 24/7 access to an itemized list of all the federal loans you took out, including info about the student loan status (in deferment, default, repayment, etc.), loan amount, date, the amount cancelled (if any), as well as the outstanding principal and interest you owe.

Tip: To access the NSLDS, you must first obtain a four-digit PIN from the Department of Education (http://www.pin.ed.gov/).

2. http://www.finaid.org/calculators

This is the website for the online college student loan calculators provided by FinAid. These calculators help you figure out how much principal and interest you'll pay over time for various federal student loans, based on the four different student loan repayment programs you can select:

Michael Jackson Autopsy Reveals Vitiligo, Scars, a Wig & Much More!

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



Michael Jackson Autopsy

The 'King of Pop's' full autopsy report was just released, and it reveals some information that has and has not been made public before in the media.

According to the Los Angeles County Coroner's 51-page report, regarding Michael Jackson's untimely June 25th passing, his death is now officially labeled a homicide. The report also went on to state the following:

--We all know that Jackson died of "acute propofol intoxication." But did you know that an anesthesiologist was hired as a consultant and summarized, that there were "no reports of its use in insomnia relief?" The consultant also went on to state in the report, that the "recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present. The standard of care for administering propofol was not met."

--There was speculation and denials that Jackson had the skin pigmentation disorder vitiligo. The report confirms that the singer did in fact have the disease and was covered with patches on his face, chest, abdomen and arms.

--Jackson wore a wig. He was actually bald in the front, and his sparse, short, dark, curly hair measured about one and a half inches in length.

--Right on the tip of the pop idol's nose was a bandage.

--Jackson had scars everywhere on his body: face, legs, shoulders, arms, neck even behind his ears.

--He apparently had a few tattoos, both eyebrows and a small pink one near his lips.

--A total of 13 "puncture wounds" were found on Jackson's body--on the right side of his neck, both arms and both ankles.

--In addition to propofol, the autopsy stated, the 50-year-old had a host of drugs flowing through his body--lidocaine, diazepam, nordiazepam, lorazepam, midazolam and ephedrine.

--Unfortunately, Jackson was battling quite a few medical problems at the time of death--"chronic lung inflammation, respiratory bronchiolitis, diffuse congestion and patchy hemorrhage of right and left lungs."

--The coroner also reported finding a closed bottle of urine on a chair in the bedroom, where the singer died, along with a box of catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, several empty orange juice bottles, a string of wooden beads and a green oxygen tank.

--At the time of death, the world's greatest entertainer weighed a mere 136 pounds and was 5'9" in height. Jackson was categorized as "thin" on the report.


>>>WOW.. SO MJ WAS PRACTICALLY Bald...and he really had the rare skin illness that we just wasn't sure he had... and WOW at how small he was.

BEYONCE Named Official Face of ‘Fashion For Haiti’ T-shirt; LAUREN BUSH Creates ‘Feed Haiti” Tote Bag





New York Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow, and the fashion world is preparing for the madness that is Fashion Week, but the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) always makes time for a good cause and just announced their contribution for Haiti relief.

The CFDA has named Beyonce as the official face of their limited-edition “Fashion For Haiti” T-shirt, a charitable tee which features black and lime green graphics designed by Peter Arnell.

As the spokesperson for “Fashion For Haiti,” Beyoncé has a message for all fashionistas: “Join me and the fashion industry by buying and wearing the Fashion for Haiti T-shirt. Together we can send a message of hope by raising much needed funds for the people of Haiti.” The CFDA will donate the net proceeds from each $25 T-shirt to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

The tee will hit shops and e-boutiques on February 16.

In addition Lauren Bush, CEO, Creative Director and co-Founder of FEED Projects LLC, has developed a FEED HAITI TOTE BAG to help raise funds for the cause.

The purchase of just one “Feed Haiti” Tote Bag will provide 50 school meals for kids in Haiti through the UN World Food Program.

The $35 white cotton tote bag, sold exclusively on the FEED website, proudly reflects the Haitian national colors of blue and red, along with the number “50,” which represents the exact donation that FEED will be making to the WFP for every purchase of the bag.

Purchase at www.feedprojects.com
