Lil Wayne Ready to Make it RAIN

Having spent most of 2010 behind bars, the just-released Lil Wayne is ready to kick back, let loose, throw wads of money in the air and pour champagne all over the badonkadonk of South Florida's finest exotic dancers. HOLLA!
Weezy has 48 bottles of really expensive champagne (think $700 each) when he arrives for his prison release party at a Miami strip club this weekend.
50 Cent would be proud.

Innocent, law-abiding Weezy's gonna have some night tonight.

The locale? King of Diamonds, a 50,000-square foot strip club equipped with a shoe shine station, basketball court, "fine dining" and massage parlor.
You know what that last part means. It means somebody's night is ending on a happy note, and Weezy's probably getting a phone call in nine months.
Lil Wayne and his posse have been buying champagne like it's going out of style, and fans eager to buy a bottle can meet him personally at the bash.
Drake and Nicki Minaj, among other stars, will be helping LW celebrate his release back into society, which will likely end in several parole violations.
Should be a kick ass time, though. You only live once.

Taylor Swift: I Adore Justin Bieber!

Justin Bieber might be dating Selena Gomez.
But if things don't work out between those two, an even more successful artist has made it clear: she has Bieber Fever.
“I adore [Justin Bieber]," Taylor Swift says in the latest issue of Allure. He’s sweet and awesome... I’ll join his fan club.”

Of course, Bieber might wanna be careful because Taylor admits in the same interview that she often puts a quick end to dating arrangements:

“I have a phobia about being in the wrong relationship, so as soon as I establish it’s not the right one, I don’t want to waste their time.”

Happy Birthday, Lamar Odom!

Not too long ago, we'd have wondered why we'd be wishing Lamar Odom a happy birthday on a celebrity gossip site.
But then the Lakers power forward married Khloe Kardashian, and has actually remained married to her for over a year. He appears almost as often on E! as on ESPN, causing us to admit we were mistaken about this union and to acknowledge the fact that he's turning 31.
Life is good for Odom, as his reigning NBA champions stand at 6-0, a record he contributes to with 15 points and 11 rebounds per game. He seems like a nice enough guy, too, so send in your birthday wishes to him today!

LeAnn Rimes Calls 150% BS on Engagement Story

Sources say Eddie Cibrian is pissed that news of his engagement to LeAnn Rimes has spread. The reason? He and his annoying fiancee wanted to cash in by making this announcement via a tabloid exclusive.
But Rimes is taking the couple's anger a step further, claiming she and Cibrian are NOT betrothed and taking major issue with E! News, who first reported the story.
"I've about had it with the lack of "reporting," she Tweeted yesterday. "The fact that our "engagement" has spread so furiously over the past 24 hours off of an E News article that is 150% untrue just shows you the lack of credible "sources" they seem to find and build a story around."

E! News, meanwhile, says it spoke with a family insider who confirmed the engagement and also phoned LeAnn's publicist, who did not deny the claim.

Rimes goes on to make it sound like an engagement is imminent, but as multiple outlets report, clearly wants to make the announcement herself and find a new way to rake in money since her music career fell flat on its face years ago.

"Eddie and I are beyond happy and in love and look forward to one day sharing such private news with you all and hopefully will be able to enjoy it privately and share it with our family and friend's [sic] before the world knows (contrary to reports on our intentions)."

The hilarious questions now remain: How long will Rimes and Cibrian withhold this news, and to what tabloid will they sell it out?

Liberals and Conservatives Unite Around Keith Olbermann, Ask MSNBC: Seriously?!?

Who would have ever thought that Keith Olbermann would be the man to bring liberals and conservatives together?!?
But in the hours following MSNBC President Phil Griffin's bizarre decision to suspend Olbermann for donating money to democratic candidates, anchors and pundits from across the political spectrum have expressed outrage over the action.

Take it away, William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard one of the most conservative commentators on the planet:
"[It's] ludicrous. First, he donated money to candidates he liked. He didn’t take money, or favors, in a way that influenced his reporting. Second, he’s not a reporter. It’s an opinion show. If Olbermann wants to put his money where his mouth is, more power to him."
It's worth noting that the policy at MSNBC does not ban employees from making donations. It only requires they ask permission first, which Olbermann failed to do.
Rachel Maddow acknowledges that distinction, along with her colleague's mistake in ignoring it, but urged her network to re-install Olbermann as the host of Countdown last night. She also used the incident to illustrate a major difference between MSNBC and Fox News:
The former suspended its most well-known personality for contributing to a campaign; the latter uses its programs to openly raise money for Republicans, while its hosts have all given money across the board to conservative candidates. The former is an admittedly biased news service; the latter is a political operation.
