And Jesus wept. Hard. Rapper Foxy Brown was photographed in church today kneeling and praying. I’m all for people turning to the Lord for strength and deliverance, but was summoning the paparazzi appropriate and even necessary? I think not. But meh, to each his own. If she likes it, I love it! I wonder what’s next on her list of things to keep the blogs talking about her.

For flicks of Kelly Rowland, Mariah Carey and more, follow the break!

The remix is more upbeat with more complex beats. I like the remix better than the original version. Click the following link to listen. Tell me what you guys think and add a comment!!!

Listen to Mariah Carey F/ Jay-Z – Bye Bye (Remix)

(Photo: Wire Image) According to Shameless Hype, Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z got some “splaining” to do! Jay and Mary had to postpone their Oakland, CA show, which was originally scheduled for Sunday night, to last night. They, of course, killed it on stage. No surprise there. But according to a source close to Jay-Z, the two got drunk and had so much fun the night before in Vegas that they decided to push the show back one night … to get some rest, I suppose. But that’s not the story they told their concert-going fans. They lied and said they had some “technical difficulties,” when in reality, they just didn’t feel like performing in front of a non-sellout crowd. Check out the e-mail below:

“What’s good, i’m a employee on the Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige tour and im also a native of Oakland. As you may had heard, the show was postponed due to some ol bullshit excuse of technical difficulties, but I know for a fact that nothing was wrong other than the fact that Jay and MJB were in no rush to get to Oakland, because they were too busy getting drunk in Vegas and wasnt trippin off performing in front of a non-sellout crowd in Oakland. I am sending you this because you guys are repping the bay and I was make sure that my town knew the real reason behind this. Please do not release my email address, because a brotha still needs this job with the show. Peace!”
