The Side-Eye: Frankie’s Publicist Says She Went To Jail For NOT Being On Drugs

So Frankie’s publicist has issued a statement about her recent arrest . Because Frankie, still being a guest of the state of Georgia, can’t speak for herself. Here’s the story they would have us believe: Unfortunately, Frankie was in a catch 22 situation – she missed probation because she was at rehab at Dr. Drew’s Pasadena center. That’s what lead to the arrest, not drugs as published. Frankie is 50 years old and I am doing what I can to help her change her image into a sober woman who has made regrettable mistakes. As she approaches the next phase of her life with grandkids and her new found children, I hope she does succeed. And here are our problems with this theory: if you’re on probation, and have to leave the state for drug treatment/work… wouldn’t you have to let your probation officer know ahead of time? And why do both the publicist and Keyshia sound unsure about Frankie’s current sobriety? Source

Jay-Z Tells BFF Gwyneth Paltrow: “I’m So Cool Because Of The Women I’m Around…The Hotter The Chick The Cooler The Guy”

Camel was interviewed by his best bud, Gwyneth Paltrow , and when asked how he “got so cool”…he states that it’s the women in his life: Jay-Z knows many people think he leads a dream lifestyle thanks to his music and business career and successful marriage and says a lot of that is down to the people he surrounds himself with. “I’m around great women, starting with my mom,” he replied, when asked how he remains so cool. “Women keep men cool. The hotter the chick the cooler the guy… that sounds like a really bad rap line!” Jay-Z made the comment while being interviews by Gwyneth Paltrow for her website GOOP’s newsletter. The musician is promoting his new website Life + Times, which he’s using to draw attention to new developments in art, design, music, sport and leisure. He’s proud of the site, explaining only items which “pique his interest” will be included on it. It’s taken him a long time to develop and he hopes it will be inspiring for his fans. “I started working on it in its various incarnations over a year ago. I’ve thought about it forever. You know how it works, seeing other sites and being either inspired or saying, ‘That’s sh*t. I would do it like…’” he explained. “I think it’s every human’s job to inspire others, to feed one another’s senses. Inspiration begets inspiration times infinity. Imagine if the person that was inspired to create the phonograph didn’t share it with the world.” Source

Jay-Z & Gwyneth Paltrow Interview Each Other For Their Own Websites

Original post:

Jay-Z ‘s new lifestyle website, Life + Times , launched on April 1st and gives a first-hand look into what the Jiggaman thinks is cool and worth your time (and money).  His bestie, Gwyneth Paltrow , also has a website called Goop that serves a similar purpose.  It only made sense that the two interviewed each other for their respective websites. Check out some excerpts from their short Q&A sessions below: Gwyneth Paltrow: You are the coolest man on Earth, how the f did you get like that? Jay-Z: I’m around great women, starting with my mom. Women keep men cool. The hotter the chick the cooler the guy … that sounds like a really bad rap line! Jay-Z: Personally I was very surprised at your extensive knowledge of hip-hop songs. Particularly how you can sing ’90s hip-hip songs word for word. I can’t even do that! How does a girl from Spence discover hip-hop? Gwyneth Paltrow : I first was exposed to hip-hop when I was about 16 (1988) by some boys who went to collegiate. The Beastie Boys were sort of the way in for us preppie kids. We were into Public Enemy, Run-DMC and LL Cool J. But then I went to LA the summer between my junior and senior year of high school and I discovered N.W.A which became my obsession. I was fascinated by lyrics as rhythm and how Dre had a such different cadence and perspective from say, Eazy-E, who I thought was one of the most ironic and brilliant voices hip-hop has ever had. It was an accident that I learned every word of Straight Outta Compton and to love something that a.) I had no real understanding of in terms of the culture that it was emanating from and b.) to love something that my parents literally could not grasp. But I was hooked. I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night but I could sing to you every single word of N.W.A’s “F*ck Tha Police” or [Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock’s] “It Takes Two.” Go figure.
