ShowBiz: Gossip:  ONE OF JAY-Z'S "99 PROBLEMS": ROBERT DE NIRO [2012-11-15 01:00:00]

Veteran actor Robert De Niro ripped rapper Jay-Z at Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday bash the other night, blasting Jay disrespectful for not calling him back.

Spies say De Niro gave Jay a dressing-down in a roomful of celebs including Martin Scorsese.

Jay tried to joke his way out of the situation, and even his wife, Beyoncé, tried to intervene, but De Niro wouldn’t back down.

A source tells the NY Post, “Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back."

A spy then overheard De Niro complaining to the rapper about a song Jay-Z agreed to record for the Tribeca Film Festival. De Niro had reached out to discuss the details, but Jay never returned his calls.

According to the spy, “Bob wasn’t in any mood to make polite conversation. He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.”

When Jay-Z tried to make a joke of it, saying he is terrible on the phone, a source says, “De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he’s the man, but that he was disrespectful.’ ”

“Beyoncé came over, but that didn’t calm Bob down". 

Afterwards, "It was the talk of the party. Everyone was saying there’s only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that’s Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he’s angry.”

But a source close to De Niro claims, “It was a low-key private conversation between two people that was apparently overheard. It was not a heated discussion.”

Does Lindsay Lohan have a sibling?


Her papa, Michael Lohan, has finally agreed to take a paternity test -- on a daytime talk show-- regarding a 17-year-old girl who claims to be his daughter.

Her mother claims to have had a relationship with Michael more than 17 years ago, but it's never been proven whether or not she is really his child, and Lindsay Lohan's half-sister.

During the TV appearance (on "The Trisha Goddard Show"), the girl said, "I don't want to be a part of the Lohan trainwreck,” and Michael got annoyed backstage and threatened to leave at one point.

Besides the four children Michael has with Dina Lohan, the 52-year-old is currently expecting another child with his 29-year-old girlfriend.

The girl claimed that Michael was never there for her and has refused to acknowledge that she is his — except for early on in her childhood.

 

RESULT:

YES! He IS the father.

Music News: Pop:  JUSTIN BIEBER TOOK EX SELENA GOMEZ' NAME OFF THE SONG LYRICS FOR "BEAUTY AND THE BEAT"! [2012-11-15 01:00:00]

Justin  Bieber has started bleeping ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's name from his latest single, "Beauty and the Beat".

The couple broke up over the weekend and Bieber is already getting started on cutting her out of his life. "Beauty and the Beat" mentions Selena's name during a rap cameo from Nicki Minaj.

The lyrics are: "Justin Bieber, you know I'm a hit 'em with the ether, buns out, wiener, but I gotta keep an eye out for Selena."

A source told the UK's Sun: "It's too late for Justin to remove the lyric from his album. But there's no way he’s going to be singing it or have anyone else sing it – including Nicki – at his concerts. He knows it would just rub salt in the wounds for Selena and there would be a huge backlash from his girl fans, so it's easier forgotten."

Music News: Pop:  BILLY JOEL, RIHANNA FIGHTING PANDORA OVER COMPENSATION [2012-11-15 01:00:00]

Some of music's biggest names including Billy Joel, Rihanna and Missy Elliott have signed an open letter to Pandora saying they're against the company's effort to change how artists are compensated.

Pandora is asking lawmakers in Congress to pass the "Internet Radio Fairness Act," which would change regulation of how royalties are paid to artists.

A group of 125 musicians say they are fans of Pandora but argue the bill would cut the amount of money an artist receives when his or her songs are played over the Internet by 85 percent.

Pandora is a mostly advertising-supported online music company that streams songs through the Internet. In October, it said its share of total U.S. radio listening was almost 7 percent, up from about 4 percent during the same period last year.
