X-Files’ Xzibit Loses Son

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Breaking News

Although he was happy to welcome a son just two weeks, rapper Xzibit is now mourning the loss of his newborn. In a blog posted on MySpace, the X-Files: I Want to Believe star informed his friends of Xavier Kingston Joiner’s sad death.

The baby - born on May 15th - passed away early Monday morning; the young child’s premature delivery didn’t allow his lungs to develop properly.

In his statement (which can be read after the jump), Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (the star’s real name) encouraged his fans to protect their children. He also thanked those who had sent messages of support.

Kanye West No Longer Engaged

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Break-ups

In the past six months, Kanye West has experienced a series of highs and lows…personally and professionally.  Just last November, the rapper unexpectedly lost his mother to heart disease after a scheduled surgical procedure.  That setback led to a heartfelt performance from West at this February’s Grammys.

Now the 30-year-old artist is currently wowing fans and critics with his Glow in the Dark tour while weathering an another emotional period.  It’s been announced that his wedding to designer Alexis Phifer has been called off.  The couple, who had been engaged since 2006, had reportedly been spending less and less time together during West’s pre-tour preparations.

In a recent blog entry, Kanye said he was wasn’t dedicating his energy to things he didn’t love anymore.  I guess that, sadly, included Phifer.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Now Married

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Weddings, Rumors

Although no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Beyoncé Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.

After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when.  The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance.  She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.

According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night.  (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.)  Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and Gwyneth Paltrow - were also seen in the area.

Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway.  Cheers!
