• Is Jay-Z Trying to Buy Hot 97 After Funkmaster Flex Beef?

    Things are not well in the New York hip-hop family. Two of the biggest players in the community, Jay-Z and Funkmaster Flex, are at odds over actions reportedly taken by people at Jay-Z's site "Life + Times."

    So much attention has been placed on Teresa Giudice in recent months, especially after she was sentenced to time in federal prison.

For weeks now we have talked about the fact that Teresa will spend the next 13 months behind bars in Danbury, Connecticut, while her admitted alcoholic husband Joe Giudice steps up and takes care of their four kids for the first time.
