:: If you thought Bey dressing as a bee for Halloween was the closest you'd get to a bug named Beyonce, you are mistaken. Meet the Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae, a golden-bootied horse fly that hails from Australia. [Huffington Post]
:: In a new poem, Jay-Z claims he will no longer utter the word "bitch" in his music in honor of Blue Ivy Carter. In related news, he would like "Money, Cash, Hoes" to be referred to as "Money, Cash, Fine Upstanding Young Women" from here on out. [NME]
:: Diddy threw yet another hissy fit upon learning a Grey Goose-sponsored Golden Globes party wasn't serving Ciroc vodka as well. Someone needs to start carrying a flask and stop causing scenes, because that behavior is not good advertising. [New York Post]
:: The internet is pretending to be surprised that Rihanna was caught smoking something that is almost certainly not a mere hand-rolled cigarette. [MTV]
:: Shortest Twitter feud ever? Following some very harsh words for Lana Del Rey following that SNL debacle, Juliette Lewis now finds her "fresh and yummy." [THR]

Heavy D Autopsy Report Inconclusive
Tue Nov 15 2011 by Becky Bain
The cause of Heavy D's death at the age of 44 remains a mystery, at least for the next few weeks — the initial autopsy report has proved inconclusive, which means we won't know the rap legend's official cause of death until a toxicology screening can be obtained. For fans of the rapper who wish to pay their respects, a public viewing will be held on Thursday at the Grace Baptist Church in Heavy D's hometown of Mout Vernon, NY. Diddy will reportedly speak in the rapper's memory during a private ceremony on Friday, and the hip-hop star will be honored at the 2011 Soul Train Awards this month. [Via EW Music Mix]

Did You Hear?
:: Beyonce's reps have called the rumors regarding her allegedly sporting a fake baby bump as "stupid, ridiculous, and false.” Do you conspiracy theorists remember her showing off her clearly pregnant belly in a bikini a month ago?

T.I. Lashes Out At Diddy For Throwing A (Non-Cîroc!) Drink At A Fan
Sun Oct 2 2011 by Idolator Staff
T.I. may be fresh out of the slammer, but he wasn't the hip hop heavy who caused a belligerent, egomaniacal scene following the BET Hip Hop Awards. No — that would be Diddy. At Atlanta's Club Compound last night, the high-and-mighty Empress himself was apparently upset that not every single cocktail in the entire world is made with Cîroc, the vodka brand he sponsors. So, naturally, he knocked a Diddy-unapproved drink into the crowd with graceless talk that was not nearly as "smooth" as his Cîroc commercial. This resulted in a showdown with a peeved fan. Luckily, Tip was on hand to save the day — watch the scuffle below.
