Shawn Carter aka Jay Z launched his controversial Barneys Christmas collection yesterday. Rolling Stone reports that the assortment of high-priced goods is available online. The “Shawn Carter Collection” includes a $695 cashmere ski mask, $2,590 boxing shorts, a $3,100 leather and suede wind breaker and, the most expensive item, a $58,000 Mollino crocodile jacket designed by Rick Owens.

PHOTO/FARCE OF THE DAY: JAY-Z RECEIVES PLATINUM PLAQUE FOR THE ‘MAGNA CARTA’

On July 4th Jay-Z aka close friend to Samsung released his “highly anticipated” new album Magna Carta Holy Grail and the hysteria that followed its release can only be described as being comical. Click here to read all about it and my thoughts on the album. For those who don’t know Jay struck a deal with smart phone giant Samsung who purchased copies of the album and then gave its customers the opportunity to download the album for free.

UK PR ANTICS: ALEXANDRA BURKE AND JERMAIN DEFOE “FINALLY CONFIRM THEIR RELATIONSHIP”

According to the ridiculous Daily Mail this is the photograph that confirms singer Alexandra Burke and footballer Defoe are a couple. Click HERE to view more of photographs. [Thanks Lorraine] Those of you who are regular visitors to Mad News already know my thoughts on this so-called union.

I’ve always respected Piers Morgan but he let himself down last night. It was made clear from the offset that Piers thinks the sun shines out of Cheryl’s backside,  so this interview was just set up to help preserve Saint Cheryl’s reputation post Gamugate.

UK TV /NEWS: X-FACTOR FARCE! – CONTESTANT KATIE WAISSEL LINKED TO SONY BMG / CHER LLOYD FOOLISHNESS

Those of you who tuned in to The X-Factor over the weekend should now know that this “talent show” is a complete and utter FARCE. The ridiculous Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel made it through to the next round (the live stages of the show) even though both failed to complete their auditions. A disturbing looking Cher claimed she had a sore throat and couldn’t sing, while Katie broke down in the middle of her performance and begged to “start again”. For some reason the “nations sweetheart” and convicted batterer []
