This morning, Hov held a press conference in the lobby of Madison Square Garden for his September 11th benefit concert. Tickets for the concert are a flat rate of $50 and go on sale September 8th at 9 A.M. for Citibank cardholders. 12:00 P.M. for general public. All proceeds will be donated to the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s charity. 

Fun Fact: According to MSG record books, Jay sold out the arena seven times. His concert last year is in the Garden’s top 10 for highest grossed.

No concert, but you couldn’t stop Curtis Jackson from hittin’ up 40 PJs yesterday. Take that, Your Honor!

Hovi’s home!

Fresh off vacay, the Carters put Twitter in a frenzy yesterday when they popped up at a free rock concert in Williamsburg, BK. I heard reports that they actually got on stage and joined in the fun but the only footage I see so far is below. Stay tuned.

Oh boy, in this early look at the Larry King sitdown, Fuck Boy says he can’t recall what he did that night. SMH. That’s worse than his outfit. Sorry, B.Dot, I tried. O.J. Jr.’s back on my kufi list.

Tune in Wednesday, September 2nd at 9pm ET on CNN.

Yesterday, 50 Cent bussed a bunch of kids from his surrounding Queens neighborhood to Six Flags Great Adventures in Jackson, New Jersey. During his performance, he gripes about not being able to hold a concert at 40 Day and sends a big F.U. to the boys in blue watching from the rafters.
