July 7. Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Jay-Z’s new single about his recent trip to Cuba was a leading topic at today’s White House press briefing.
Just hours after the 19-year-old outfielder left his mark in baseball folklore with his reply to a Canadian reporter’s foolhardy query, Bryce Harper filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for trademark protection on “That’s a clown question, bro.”
In 2009, President Obama called Kanye West a “jackass.” In a new article in The Atlantic assessing the rapper, the president stands by his original statement.
“Guess Who’s Back” in the news? Adrian Fenty, who earned himself a shoutout from rapper/mogul/entrepreneur/NBA owner Jay-Z in a recent interview.
Carlos Allen sure seems like an interesting guy. Beyond his claim to fame as the second White House crasher, the self-proclaimed first Afro-Latino in history has continued his independent quest for the city’s highest elected office.

The sheer number of hugely famous stars gathered to perform at the ball, which was broadcast live on ABC, gave the event the feel…
TUESDAY >> What do you think about panic? Is it widespread? Spread-heads (is that a word?) probably already know about Widespread Panic’s two day set for today and tomorrow at the Warner Theater. The jam band is touring behind their tenth studio album, “Free Somehow.” Tickets are sold out, but we expect you can pick some up among the herbal blends on 13th Street NW. Doors at 7 p.m., $42.50. >> Anousheh Khalili won a…
