PHOTOS: Jay-Z’s In An Empire State Of Mind In ‘Interview’ Magazine
In this month’s Interview magazine, rap legend Jay-Z opens up about success, his music, and that whole Taylor Swift thing. The pictures from fashion photographer Craig McDean, (the same celeb snapper who gave us the nearly-nude Rihanna pics from this month’s W Magazine) show a pensive and serious Jay-Z. And why shouldn’t he look introspective? The man just turned 40. He tells Interview, “… in rap years, I’m like The Rolling Stones or U2.” We hope he’s not saying he plans to release a series of irrelevant albums and just rest on his old hits. (Ahem.) Take a look at these pics and you’ll agree: after all these years, you still can’t knock that he’s “a hustler baby”. More »

The Golden Globes Are All Ears For ‘Glee’
Fox’s hit high school show choir series Glee may be on hiatus until April, but the love for Finn, Rachel, Kurt and and the rest of the gang of musical outcasts won’t be dying down anytime soon. Nominees for the 67th Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning, and Glee hit a high note by sweeping up the most TV nods with four.
The hour-long program nabbed nominations for Best Television Series—Musical Or Comedy, Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series—Musical Or Comedy (for Lea Michele), Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series—Musical Or Comedy (Matthew Morrison) and Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In A Series, Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television (Jane Lynch).
Kudos also to Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O for snagging a nomination in the Best Original Score—Motion Picture category, for Where The Wild Things Are. This comes only a week after she earned a belated Grammy nod.

Berlin To Bono: “Tear Down This Wall… No, The One Your Show Just Forced The Building Of”
As part of MTV’s Katy Perry-hosted celebration of the Berlin Wall’s destruction in the wall’s former home city this week, U2 will play a free show at the Brandenburg Gate later today. Freedom and free stuff! Yay! But with freedom comes responsibility, and those people who didn’t get their act together to get tickets for the gig—they, unsurprisingly, went pretty quickly—will have to watch on TV at home. They can’t even head down to the area near the Gate and try and hear the show… because a 12-foot fence draped with white sheets is being thrown up so ticketless people will have to stay at home and drive up the telecast’s ratings.
