The Gossip Rag: Celebrity life, photos, gossip, and news

Jennifer Lopez’s latest CD is being banned by some Hispanic retailers. Let the white inside-outside arguments begin.

It looks the rehab has been doing starlet Lindsay Lohan good; she’s looking excellent these days!

I’m not sure how to describe her look except “healthy.”

Cracked has an awesome list of terrible rappers, but they don’t go nearly far enough. They miss a few obvious ones that are definitely worth a laugh. After all, we’ve got 20 years of glorious rap history to paw through, and one post isn’t nearly enough to get all the terribly named rappers!

Beat-n-Azz (aka Mr. Collipark, DJ Smurf, and Michael Crooms)

So, it’s either a blonde dog, a mule accustomed to harsh punishment, or a blue sexless cartoon. I’m not sure why he chose the name for himself, fashioning it after “college park” where he once lived, but it’s clear this rapper can’t spell and doesn’t know much about animal life.

Too Short

It’s bad enough it’s spelled “Too $hort.” But we’re not sure if this rapper is pimping his personal endowment or his height. Modesty in a gangster rapper? Unheard of.

MC Ren

With a real name of Lorenzo Jerald Patterson, we can’t imagine how he came to the Chinese word ren (人) get in his rapper name. Ren literally means “person,” so he is just MC Person. This is ok if you want to be more generic than anybody. Come on, stunt a lil!

Lil’ Keke

The names starting lil’ automatically means a bad start, but Lil’ Keke’s name has been abused by Starcraft players to indicate a ZERG RUSH!!!!!!

Fat Joe

Just because you weight at least 300 pounds does not a rapper make you. And, there’s no reason to put it into your name. Why not something more creative, like “Joe the Crusher,” or even “Juicy Joe” or “Joe Joe.” LOL.

Swizz Beatz

Swizzy, we love you, but even Jon Steward thought you were the manufacturer of “Swiss Beats.” Imported. From Switzerland. It’s just too much ambiguity for our rap-soaked brains to take in all at once.

It’s been revealed to us by Jane Pratt, founder of Jane Magazine, that she once engaged in a brief love affair with Drew Barrymore. She was interviewed for Howard Stern’s radio show many years ago, but demurred the question of “which famous celebrity” it was. Now, she tells all:

She said years ago, when Stern was on his terrestrial station, he had asked her if she had ever had sex with a woman. She answered “yes” but then demurred when he asked if it was someone people have heard of.

She said she would like to go back and tell him the truth. “It was someone famous. I did have sex with Drew Barrymore,” she said.

Of course, now that she has Andrew Schaifer for a “husband” of sorts, and a 4 year old daughter, she is secure in normalcy and can reveal these juicy tidbits.

Jane Magazine decided to take photos of various stars at Sundance with their favorite crime on a police blotter. It’s quite cute to watch the likes of Kirsten Bell and Josh Hartnett pose:

DJ AM has a sneaker fetish.

Kristin Bell drives like a maniac. And bites!!!

Josh Hartnett likes to take it off. All of it!
