Jay-Z recently told Best Life magazine that he believes that the influence that he and his hip-hop peers
have had a much greater contribution to bringing down racism that the politicians have been able to.
“Hip-hop has changed America,” he was quoted in the magazine saying.”Hip-hop has done more than any leader,
politician, or anyone to improve race relations. Racism is taught in the home … and it’s very hard to
teach racism to a teenager who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg,” Jay said. “It’s hard to say, ‘That guy is
less than you.’ The kid is like, ‘I like that guy, he’s cool. How is he less than me?’ ” Jay-Z was voted
one of the MTV News Brain Trust Greatest MCs of All Time. Has hi-hop changed America? Drop us your views.

Can you guess who are voted the hottest Hollywood men celebrities?
If you guessed Brad Pitt and George Clooney, you got the first 2 right. At number 3 is football legend David Beckham and at number 4 is Josh Duhamel.  Coming at number 5 is Gabriel Aubrey and at number 6 is none other than Mr. Hancock, the legendary Will Smith. Our number top seven at seven is Patrick Dempsey.  If you think we left out anyone, feel free to let us know and send us a comment telling us whom you think should be on this list and at what position. We will share your comments and opinions with the rest of the readers. 

George Clooney is keeping us all guessing. It is tough enough to break through his charming exterior to figure out what’s going on, but when he does so many completely unrelated and seemingly bizarre things in a short span of a few days, he really gets everyone confused.
On one hand, Clooney put on a very serous façade at the Newseum in Washington, DC where he conducted a number of lectures on the role and importance of journalism and how it is related to his latest studio venture ‘Good Luck and Good Night.’ On the other hand the more flirtatious side of Clooney emerges and he would have us believe that he was blissfully entangled with Paris Hilton while being forcefully rejected by her BFF Brittany Flickinger.

Then, we see the more socially responsible Clooney as he throws a $15,000 a plate fundraisers for the people being suppressed and exploited in Darfur, where we once again get a peek at his flirtatious side as he seemed a little too interested in the Chippendale dancers. And finally, to add to the confusion, we find out that Clooney went on a sushi date with a new lady friend who is a semi-professional game show contestant. Her name could be Katie, Kate or Stephanie Moeser, depending on which game show appearance you want to believe. She has appeared on ‘Hollywood Squares’ in 03-04, ‘The Price is right’ in 06, ‘Don’t forget the Lyrics’ in 07 where she won $350,000, and ‘Trivial Pursuit’ in 08.

You would not believe it until she said it but Miley Cyrus was actually bullied so much in shcool that she believed that she would be physically harmed. In her book ‘Miley Cyrus: Miles To Go’ the ‘Hannah Montana’ star says that she was scrawny and short while her tomentors  were big tough girls who would challenge her to a fight. At one time the shcool principal had to intervene to stop her from being bitten by one of the bullies. She said that while being educated at Tennessee, the bullies would come up to her a nd curse while they taunted to her to get up and fight.  “ I held up to my cheese sandwich so tightly I thought it was my best firnd. Actually it was my best frind at that time”, said Miss Cyrus.  The Disney star split with Nick Jonas, the Jonas Brothers star and is now dating Justin Gaston, the underwear model.
