PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton claimed victory in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, beating out Sen. Barack Obama after a bruising seven-week campaign.”It’s a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania,” she told supporters in Philadelphia. I’m in this race to fight for you … You know you can count on me to stand up strong for you every single day in the White House.”

Clinton commended Obama and his campaign, saying they are in many ways “on this journey together.” Tuesday’s projected victory follows Clinton’s wins in other big states such as Ohio, New York and California. Her campaign said that should raise new questions about whether Obama, who leads Clinton in the overall Democratic race, can beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November.

“The tide is turning,” Clinton told cheering supporters. Chelsea Clinton’s eyes welled with tears as she watched her mother speak.

With about 99 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton was leading Obama by 10 points. Clinton will pick up a majority of the state’s 158 delegates.

BEYONCE & JAY-Z

Beyonce and Jay-Z tied the knot almost a month ago, but the couple just filed their marriage license this past Friday (Apr. 11th) in Scarsdale, NY, reports People. Scarsdale Town Clerk Donna Conkling confirmed the couple’s April 4th wedding date and said that even though they filed the license more than 5 days after the wedding, they won’t be facing any penalty. NY law states that you must file your wedding license within 5 days after your wedding, but Conkling said that the penalty is frequently waived, and not just for celebrities.

Neither of the two have confirmed their marriage, but we all know what’s up. I’m just waiting on those wedding pictures to show up! Those mofos must be under lock and key in a safe deep down in the “wig crypt” [copyright Fresh @ C&D].

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.

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!”
