Jay-Z left Kanye’s afterparty at GOA nightclub the other night in LA looking rather pissed. I wonder what’s going on. A bad day, maybe? After a lot of picking and prodding by the paps, who kept “congratulating” Jay-Z on his recent marriage to longtime girlfriend Beyonce, the hip-hop mogul snapped at them in a raspy voice saying, “Stop talking to me … you know better than that.” Well, needless to say, they shut up lol.

I don’t usually judge celebrities when they snap back at the paparazzi because we’re all human, and we’re all entitled to a bad day or two. Hell, if I were having a bad day and some fool was flashing lights all in my face and asking about my private life, saying what Jay said would’ve been considered “nice!”

Let me preface this by saying that neither Alicia Keys nor Derek Luke look like they could have a “teenage love affair,” lol! But the overall theme of the video is still pretty cool never-the-less. Check out Alicia Keys’ new video for “Teenage Love Affair” – from her album As I Am (in stores now) above!

In other AK news, it has been reported by her record label that she has had to cancel 2 tourdates (Pittsburg – yesterday / Cleveland – this Thursdsay) on her newly launched North American tour because of swollen vocal cords. Refunds will be made available. Get well soon, Alicia!

She’s been living in New York, while he’s been living in Miami. Well now, after 3 years of marriage, Star has finally said enough is enough and has filed for divorce. They actually filed on March 26th, but Star revealed it to the public today (Apr. 23rd).

“Al was never there for Star,” a friend of hers said. “He hasn’t made any money in the last three years. He has been living off of her.”

“I’m sure there is, but to me, I hope not.” he continued “One thing I’ve learned this season and watching these games is that you have to be aggressive. If I sit back and let them trap me, then they succeed with what they need to do.

The paps caught a drunk, lost and confused Amy Winehouse outside of her England home last night. Apparently after her night on the town, homegirl had lost her keys and couldn’t get into her house. So a friend had to help her break into her own house by manually raising the garage. What would Amy do without those friends of hers…
