Jay-Z, fresh off the release of his American Gangster album, is working with the cosmetics company Elizabeth Arden to launch a line of beauty products. He just couldn't let Diddy have all the glory, could he?
A source says:
It is a really cool time for Jay-Z working with Elizabeth Arden and he is delighted about it.
You know, if Jay-Z wasn't dating Beyonce... Anyway, I'm pretty sure of two things:
1) This story will break the record for "no homo" comments in Internet forums.
2) Like all of Jay-Z's other ventures, he's going to make a ton of money off this.
This is one thing I envy about the hood mentality. No matter what you're doing, as long as you're making money, people admire you. Doesn't matter if you're selling crack or launching a tampon line; as long as you're getting paid, it's all good. Jay-Z, who already has $50 billion in the bank, produces a cosmetics line, and everyone is like, "yeah, you get that paper, Jigga!" Meanwhile, people in the suburbs are always complaining about "selling out." Yep, hood life has its perks. Actually, no, it just has that one perk. The rest is terrible.
(Sidenote: I've never actually been to the hood, so my research is based on Ice Cube movies.)
In less meterosexual news, Jay-Z's new album is streaming online. If you look hard enough, you'll find it. I've only listened a couple times, but it's pretty good.
