Rolling Stone magazine, will run an ad for the Holy Bible next month. The very same ad was rejected by the magazine because "it doesn't quite feel right in the magazine," said Kent Brownridge, general manager of Wenner Media LLC, parent company of Rolling Stone.
Look out for a new MTV2 during the Super Bowl halftime show. The sister company of MTV will revamp it's image at midnight on Feb. 7. After that whole nipplegate controversy, the Official half-time show will look towards a saintly Paul McCartney to help the next FCC chairman sleep better.

Irv "Gotti" Lorenzo and brother Christopher both pleaded 'not guilty' and has been released on bail of $1m after being arrested on money laundering charges earlier in the week.

Anybody that's in the street is trying to get out. You can't blame anyone but Irv." Read more from Allhiphop.com.
