Rapper Ja Rule set to leave NY prison in gun case

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule was set to leave an upstate prison on Thursday after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession but head straight into federal custody in a tax case.

The rapper, who had been in protective custody at the Mid-State Correctional Facility because of his celebrity, has some time remaining on a 28-month sentence for tax evasion, correction officials said. His sentences were expected to run concurrently.
Ja Rule may have less than six months left and may be eligible for a halfway house, defense attorney Stacey Richman said. An order to pay $1.1 million in back taxes is one of the main reasons he wants to get back to work, she said.
"Many people are looking forward to experiencing his talent again," Richman said.
Ja Rule scored a Grammy Award nomination in 2002 for the best rap album with "Pain is Love." He also has appeared in movies, including "The Fast and the Furious" in 2001 and "Scary Movie 3" in 2003.
Ja Rule, who went to the prison in Marcy in June 2011, is getting out at his earliest release date, state correction spokeswoman Linda Foglia said. He had two misbehavior reports for unauthorized phone calls in February 2012 and had work assignments on lawn and grounds crews and participated in education programs, she said.

 In the gun case, New York City police said they found a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun in a rear door of Ja Rule's $250,000 luxury car after it was stopped for speeding, and he pleaded guilty in 2010.
He admitted in March 2011 in federal court that he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million he earned between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in Saddle River, N.J.
"I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal," he told the judge. "I was a young man who made a lot of money — I'm getting a little choked up — I didn't know how to deal with these finances, and I didn't have people to guide me, so I made mistakes."
Richman said the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, is looking forward to his daughter's graduation.
"He's a devoted father," she said.

Hilton Botha, lead detective in Oscar Pistorius case, faces his own attempted murder charges

Oscar Pistorius' murder case took a sensational twist Thursday when it was revealed that the chief investigator who analyzed the scene of Reeva Steenkamp's fatal shooting faces seven counts of attempted murder charges himself.
Hilton Botha, whose stumbling and at times incoherent evidence on day two of Pistorius' bail hearing gave the Blade Runner's case a serious boost, was allegedly one of three drunk police officers who opened fire on a mini-bus taxi full of passengers in 2011, according to South Africa's Eyewitness News.
According to Botha, the shooting took place as part of the investigation into the murder of Denise Stratford, a Girl Scout leader whose body was discovered stuffed into a drain in 2011. Botha and colleagues were tracking the suspect and as part of their inquiries fired at the mini-bus when it failed to pull over when requested.
Botha was arrested at the time due to the charges, which were subsequently dropped, before it emerged Thursday that they had been reinstated.
"There was a decision taken by the director of public prosecution's office to charge the members, each one of them, with seven counts of attempted murder," said police spokesman Neville Malila. "That was the number of people that were in the taxi."

Botha denied he was drunk during the alleged incident and told South African legal journalist Karyn Maughan on Thursday morning that the reinstatement of the charge is "beyond my comprehension."
"I can only think it is linked to my work on the Oscar Pistorius case," he said.
[Related: Without bail, Pistorius faces time in brutal South African prison]
In a statement, however, the South African National Prosecuting Authority revealed the murder charge against Botha was reinstated before the Pistorius incident, reportedly as early as Feb. 4. Botha insisted to the media that he only learned of the reinstatement after the Valentine's Day killing of Steenkamp. According to Malila, Botha is scheduled to appear in court in May to face the charges.
Thursday, Botha was taken off the Pistorius case.
"If we have an investigating officer that is facing such serious charges, it cannot happen that he continues with this case," an NPA spokesperson said.
Botha had become one of the major characters in the Pistorius case as it has unfolded with a bail hearing that stretched into a third day and resembled a mini-trial with detailed evidence being given from both sides.
The reason for the elongated hearing is a product of both the vagaries of the South African legal system and the desire of both the prosecution and defense to gain a positive result on bail.
During his testimony Wednesday, Botha unraveled under cross-examination from defense attorney Barry Roux, admitting that he couldn't find anything to contradict Pistorius' claim that he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Botha also opened himself to allegations he had contaminated the crime scene by revealing he had not worn protective shoes and was forced to admit one of his witnesses, a neighbor, was more than a quarter mile away from the scene.
Yet his blundering under oath was nothing compared to the damage that Thursday's bombshell may have done to the case, with Botha's credibility as an investigator pivotal.
Alex Eliseev, the Eyewitness News journalist who broke the Botha story, told 567 The Cape radio on Thursday that he contacted Botha following the publication of the report and that the senior policeman with 24 years of experience insisted the allegations against him were false.
"[Botha] says he was involved in an absolutely legitimate case," Eliseev said. "He says they tried to pull over the taxi, they were not drunk, they shot at the wheels and tried to get it to stop. He thought the case had been withdrawn."
The bail hearing continues Thursday.

Rihanna Wears Sexy Bikini, Holds Two Blunts on Sexy Hawaii Beach Vacation with Chris Brown for Her Birthday: Pictures

Chris Brown and Rihanna in Hawaii (Splash News)

“It’s not even (her) birthday … ”
Oh wait … yes it is! And apparently, he wants to lick the icing off.
Rihanna celebrated her 25th birthday in Hawaii by answering the question on fans’ minds over the past week – her on-again/off-again relationship with Chris Brown, 23, is currently “on”!
After not speaking to each other at the same club last Wednesday, and then not spending Valentine’s Day together, Rihanna’s Navy was worried that the two had split again (even though they had been affectionate with each other over Grammys weekend). Any concerns, however, about the Barbadian singer’s romantic happiness were put to rest by these new pics of the couple cuddling and getting along well on the beach in Hawaii.

In the new photos, the always-stylish Rihanna is seen wearing fishnet stockings over her bikini bottom. In one pic, she's reaching for Brown's hand as they walk along the beach, and in another, she has her arm around him while they nuzzle closely together.

On Wednesday, the “Diamonds” singer posted this photo of her and Brown in a limo with the caption, “Pour it up pour it up! #birthdaybehavior”
RiRi also celebrated her birthday yesterday with the good news of her collaboration with MAC cosmetics. Last weekend she premiered her debut clothing line for River Island at London Fashion Week to mixed reviews. One fan who was reportedly upset that the Rihanna was back together with Brown even threw an energy drink at her at a club.
It seems that reports over tension between Rihanna and her good friend Katy Perry, may be a bit overblown. The “Wide Awake” singer tweeted this sweet birthday wish to her friend:

HAPPIEST 25TH BIRTHDAY to my baby girl @rihanna! I wish I could b there drinking Mai-Tais & telling haters to eat a dirt..

Rihanna was up for one Brit Award last night — for best British Single for “Princess of China” (her song with Coldplay) -- but lost to Adele for “Skyfall.” But there are no worries for her on the music front, though. “Stay” feat. Mikky Ekko, the second single from her latest album, Unapologetic, is rapidly climbing the U.S. charts. It’s currently #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #4 on iTunes’ singles sales chart.

Khloe Kardashian Fired!!!

 

Khloe Kardashian does not appear to be having a good week. First, reports surfaced that she and husband Lamar Odom have taken a trial separation from one another, and now reports claim that she has been fired from X Factor! Can things get any worse for her?
As if battling all the marital trouble rumors surrounding Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were not enough, Khloe has taken another blow, as sources came out today to reveal that she has been fired from The X Factor. According to The New York Post, a show insider told them: “They have asked Mario Lopez to come back (next season), but not Khloe.”
Khloe Kardashian signed on to The X Factor with no prior hosting experience, and it showed as she often appeared to be a bundle of nerves. Kardashian is not the first person to get axed from the show, as Britney Spears was also let go. Rumor has it that the show is in talks with Cheryl Cole, who was fired by Simon Cowell in the past, but no one knows if that is for a hosting spot or to sit on the juding panel.
L.A. Reid also announced back in December that he would not be returning to the series, instead he wants to focus more on Epic records. So far, the only one who may be returning is Demi Lovato (as well as Simon Cowell). A rep for Fox declined to comment on any of the news – yet.
Are you shocked that Khloe Kardashian will not return to The X Factor? Who should replace her? Post a comment below and let us know.

TV show with Pistorius' dead girlfriend airs... Filmed in JAMAICA

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Reeva Steenkamp's last wish for her family before she was shot dead at boyfriend Oscar Pistorius' home was for them to watch her in a reality TV show that went on air inSouth Africa on Saturday night, two days after her killing.

Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva's cousin, told The Associated Press that the model and law graduate was "proud of being in the show" and reminded them in their last conversation to make sure that they watched it.

The South African Broadcasting Corp. aired the "Tropika Island of Treasure" program, showing the late Steenkamp — the victim of a Valentine's Day shooting at the home of Pistorius, the Olympic star and double-amputee athlete. She is laughing and smiling, and blowing a kiss toward the camera in Jamaica when it was filmed last year.

South Africans also saw her swimming in the ocean and watching people jump off a cliff and into the sea, in Negril JAMAICA shaking her head as they leaped.

SABC said it was dedicated to Steenkamp and displayed the words "Reeva Steenkamp 19 August 1983 - 14 February 2013" between images of a rose and a candle in a short tribute before the show aired. She was also seen blowing the kiss as she sat on a Jamaican beach and her name again appeared on screen with the years of her birth and death.

The country was rocked Thursday when news broke of Steenkamp's shooting death at the upscale house of the star athlete. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder and remains in custody in a police station. His family has strongly denied prosecutors' claims that he murdered her.

Steenkamp's family said earlier Saturday that it had not been contacted by either the SABC — South Africa's national broadcaster — or the show's producers for permission to air it, but were not opposed to it because Reeva wanted everyone to see it.

"Her last words to us personally were that she wants us to watch it," Sharon Steenkamp said, hours before the program was shown.

SABC aired the reality show on its main channel, which prominently featured Steenkamp.

The show's executive producer, Samantha Moon, said going ahead with the show "is what she would have wanted."

Steenkamp, a 29-year-old blonde model who graduated from law school, died after suffering four gunshot wounds, police said. Officers recovered a 9-mm pistol from Pistorius' house and quickly charged the Olympian with murder for Steenkamp's killing.

Pistorius will appear in court Tuesday for a bail hearing, something police have said they oppose. Prosecutors also say they will pursue upgraded charges of premeditated murder against him, which means the disabled icon and double-amputee runner could face a life sentence.

Steenkamp was known in South Africa for appearing in commercials and as a bikini-clad model in men's magazines.

Pistorius and Steenkamp met Nov. 4 at the Kyalami race track, which sits between Pretoria and Johannesburg and has been used for Grand Prix and Formula 1 races, said Justin Divaris, a mutual friend.

Divaris said his own girlfriend was a close friend to Steenkamp. Pistorius and Steenkamp immediately hit it off and decided in the spur of the moment to attend a sports award ceremony together the same night, Divaris said. At the time, Pistorius had been dating another woman and his personal life was constant fodder for gossip pages.

Later, however, problems may have started, as police have said there were previous domestic altercations at Pretorius' home in a gated community near South Africa's capital, Pretoria.

A Steenkamp family spokesman said late Friday that relatives still faced a long struggle to come to terms with her killing.

"I can't see the family getting over this shortly," said Reeva's uncle, Mike Steenkamp. "It's going to be a long, long-term reconciliation with a lot of things and issues."

Family members plan for a memorial service Tuesday for the model in Port Elizabeth, her hometown on South Africa's southern coast. Pistorius has a court appearance scheduled in Pretoria on the same day for his lawyers to argue that he can be released on bail.

Portions released earlier Saturday of the reality show, sponsored by a milk fruit drink, feature Steenkamp laughing and smiling on the beaches of Jamaica. Another portion shows her swimming with two dolphins, which tap her on the cheek with their snouts.

"I think the way that you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way that you go out and the way you make your exit is so important," Steenkamp says in the video. "You either made an impact in a positive or a negative way, but just maintain integrity and maintain class and just remain true to yourself.

"I'm going to miss you all so much and I love you very, very much."

US visa bribery probe involving Mavado deepens

Asenior security official who worked in the US Embassy in Kingston is expected to be charged soon for his alleged role in helping the manager of a popular Jamaican entertainer obtain a US visa to leave the island in the face of legal troubles, according to highly placed law enforcement sources.

The manager, law enforcement officials told the Jamaica Observer, works for the Jamaican deejay, who allegedly gave gifts to assistant regional security officer David J Rainsberger who helped the deejay obtain a US visa following the revocation of a previous visa in 2010.

David J Rainsberger (right), is pictured at his birthday party in Kingston in June 2011 with two Jamaican deejays and a member of the US Embassy staff. Rainsberger pleaded guilty last week in a Virginia court to accepting receiving unlawful gratuities from a popular Jamaican artiste whom he helped obtain a visa while stationed at the US Embassy in Kingston.

According to our source, the senior security official — the second US embassy staff member to figure in the probe — gave a statement in mid- 2012 in which he admitted to accepting money, plane tickets and backstage passes to concerts for his effort.

He also admitted to being put up in a resort in Jamaica for assisting the artiste’s manager in securing the visa while stationed in Jamaica from 2009 to 2011.

Last week, 32-year-old Rainsberger pleaded guilty in a Virginia court to receiving unlawful gratuities from the artiste and is to be sentenced on April 19.

According to a release posted on the website of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, Rainsberger admitted to accepting two luxury watches worth approximately US$2,500 from the artiste in addition to free admission to nightclubs, backstage access to concerts, and a birthday party hosted by the musician.

The incident occurred while Rainsberger, then a member of the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service, was stationed at the US Embassy in Kingston from 2009 to 2011.

“While there,” the release stated, “Rainsberger befriended a well-known Jamaican musician whose entry to the US had been barred because of allegations of criminal conduct.” According to the release, Rainsberger’s investigation “of this individual” resulted in the reinstatement of his visa, “which allowed the individual to travel to the US to take advantage of performance and recording opportunities”.

In addition to the charge of receiving unlawful gratuities, Rainsberger also pleaded guilty in an Alexandria, Virginia court to making false statements to the United States Government on a national security questionnaire, which is required to maintain his security clearance.

Rainsberger faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison on the gratuities charge and five years in prison on the false statements charge.

The false statement charge, according to the release, stems from allegations that Rainsberger, who was already married, became engaged to a Jamaican and intentionally withheld disclosure of the relationship from the US Government on Office of Personnel Management Standard Form 86, a national security questionnaire that requires disclosure of close and continuing contact with foreign nationals.

The US authorities also said that Rainsberger repeatedly accessed, without authority, Department of State visa and passport databases for personal purposes.

CHRIS BROWN crashes car on eve of Grammy Awards

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Embattled R&B singer Chris Brown crashed his car into a wall in upscale Beverly Hills on Saturday, and later told police officers he was trying to elude aggressive paparazzi, police said.

The crash came on the eve of the Grammy Awards, almost exactly four years after Brown assaulted his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, the night before the awards show in 2009.

In the latest incident, Brown told Beverly Hills police that photographers were chasing him right up until the crash, said police Sergeant Kurt Haefs.

The singer was not cited or arrested at the scene, Haefs said. He added the damaged vehicle may have been towed away.
Media reports indicated Brown was driving a black Porsche.
A representative for Brown, who was not injured in the accident, did not immediately return calls on Saturday evening.
Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to beating and punching Rihanna and he faces ongoing legal troubles stemming from the case.

 Extensive damage to front of his Porshe, pic taken at Police Pound in Beverley Hills Ca.



A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday ordered a new report on the community service Brown was due to perform as a result of the conviction, after prosecutors accused the singer of cutting corners on the work.

Prosecutors have cited occasions when they said Brown was not at the recorded location of his community service and instead was performing or traveling, once on a private jet bound for Cancun, Mexico.

Rihanna, who has admitted that she has resumed dating Brown, accompanied him to his court hearing on Wednesday.
Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, has denied the latest allegations about the singer's community service and accused prosecutors of persecuting his client.
This year, Brown's "Fortune" is nominated for best urban contemporary album at the Grammy Awards.

Busy Signal to answer to charges against him in court today....

Embattled dancehall deejay Busy Signal is hoping to put his latest legal problems behind him, so that he can focus totally on his music.
The artiste who has recently returned from the United States after serving time in prison has been slapped with several charges stemming from his arrest last year on an extradition warrant.

Busy has been charged with obtaining passports in a false name and he is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today.
Allegations are that the artiste unlawfully obtained three Jamaican passports in the name Reanno Gordon, which he used in his travels abroad as an entertainer.
In an interview with THE STAR last night, Busy Signal's manager, Shane Brown, said that the artiste wants to put this matter behind him.
Brown said that the artiste didn't have three valid passports at once, but because of his frequent travels, the artiste had exhausted several passports.
"Busy didn't have three valid passports, it's just that because he travels a lot, you find that the pages in his passport were exhausted, so it wasn't a case where he was using three passports," Brown said.
He further added that the artiste has already done his time in the US and Busy just wants to put this local matter past him.
"I am not worried about this issue because he has done his time in the US, we just want to get this over and done with. Busy' birth given name is Glendale Gordon; but by a deed poll he had changed his name to Reanno Devon Gordon , so that's his legal name," Brown said.
Busy returned to Jamaica late last year, after serving six months in a US prison for absconding bail.
The artiste was extradited to the US, where he had pleaded guilty to a February 2002 incident in which he was charged with two counts related to cocaine trafficking.

Sports: NBA Trade rumors, Kevin Garnett trade to Clippers in the works

The Sporting News reported on Feb. 3 that the Los Angeles Clippers are pushing for a Kevin Garnett trade. Garnett has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he would have to approve any trade before it occurred.
Garnett has one year left on his contract, a three-year deal worth $36.01 million. His 2014 numbers pays the superstar $12 million, so the Clippers have to feel that they are in position for an NBA Championship run for that kind of money.
Los Angeles and Boston team officials have been talking ahead of their game on Sunday. The idea would be that Boston would trade Garnett to Los Angeles for second-year player Eric Bledsoe and veteran wingman Caron Butler.
Currently, the Clippers are 34-15 and only sit four games out of first in the Western Conference, behind the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. The Boston Celtics are 24-23 and sit in the final playoff spot, a disappointing year for the once proud franchise.
Garnett would replace Butler in the front court with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, while Chris Paul mans the backcourt as they wait for Chauncey Billups to return from injury.
Boston has seen Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger's season end and they might be ready to look at the future. Eliminating Kevin Garnett's salary through a trade could be the start of that

Diamonds are a car’s best friend: Middle East’s first supercar to cost $3.4 Million

• » 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport First Drive
• » Audi S7 vs. BMW 650i Gran Coupe vs. Mercedes-Benz CLS550

Supercars are a common sight in some parts of the Middle East, but until now, that region of the world has gone without an exotic of its own. Enter the Lykan Hypersport, an ultra-exclusive ride from Dubai-based startup W Motors. The upcoming car is said to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and offer Lamborghini-rivaling style for $3.4 million, according to WardsAuto.

 

  
The Lykan Hypersport is the brainchild of Lebanese entrepreneur and designer Ralph Debbas, who began thinking up the supercar when he was an automotive design student. The wild, angular seven-figure exotic will be officially revealed to the public at the Qatar auto show, where W Motors will display a full-scale model made of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials, and built with help from specialty coachbuilder Magna Steyr Torino. The model currently lacks an interior and drivetrain, but will be powered by a midship flat-six engine from RUF, the company famous for custom Porsches. That engine is said to produce 750 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, which could be enough to make the Lykan Hypersport’s claimed 242-mph top speed plausible. W Motors’ Performance estimates are based on computer simulations, as a running prototype has yet to be tested.

Because matching the performance of a comparatively cheap Lamborghini Aventador would give wealthy Middle Eastern customers nothing to brag about, the Lykan Hypersport will sport some serious bling. The headlights will feature diamond-encrusted LEDs, while the hood will be gold-plated – the perfect complement to the rest of the car’s lightweight construction. Inside, the supercar will receive a “holographic display” on the windshield. Whether this feature will look like the futuristic spy tech seen on the BMW i8 concept in 2011’s Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol is unknown.

Teen ATTACKED by SHARK in Jamaica...

teenage boy was bitten by a shark on the Pedro Cays yesterday
It is reported that the 18-year-old, who is from Spanish Town, in St Catherine, was bitten on the knee and has been hospitalised in serious but stable condition.

Details of the shark-attack were not available up to news time, but the Constabulary Communications Network (CCN) says it happened shortly after 3 o’clock while the teenager was in a boat.

The CCN says the Black River Police is investigating the incident and will provide a full report shortly.

Beyonce will not be paid for SUPER BOWL gig, find out what she'll get instead

(USA Today Sports Images)

The halftime show of the Super Bowl officially became bigger than the Super Bowl itself last year.
Madonna's performance last year had a higher rating than the average rating for the game. So while Beyonce's grandiose press conference this week seemed out of place, more people will recognize her than any of the players, coaches and coaches' family members who gave press conferences this week.
The halftime show has grown since its humble beginnings (and really, why? Nobody goes to a concert and expect to be entertained by seeing football players play four downs of ball halfway through the set), and will be more talked about on the Internet than how well Joe Flacco plays or that cute Clydesdale commercial that has already won the pre-Super Bowl buzz contest.
[Related: When and where to watch the big game]
So if you need to have some background trivia on the Super Bowl halftime show before getting down to "Single Ladies," we have you covered:


 


• Didn't believe that Madonna's show got better ratings than the Super Bowl, did you?
During Madonna's halftime show last year, the rating was 48.1, according to TVbytheNumbers.com. The average rating for the entire broadcast of Patriots-Giants was 47.8 (it did spike to 51.8 in the final half hour of game action). The highest rating for a game in Super Bowl history is 47.9.
Madonna's rating means that about 114 million people watched her perform, probably more than watched "Dick Tracy" and "Shanghai Surprise" combined. All that exposure means ...
• The performers don't get paid
Of course you read this on Shutdown Corner yesterday, but Beyonce won't get paid for performing. Nobody else has gotten paid by the NFL for performing at halftime either. The artists get expenses paid for and that's it.
It makes sense, because even the biggest artists in the world aren't going to have an audience of more than 110 million people ever again. The exposure is priceless, as long as you don't screw it up (hello, Black Eyed Peas!). And if Michael Jackson didn't get paid for his halftime show, you've got no shot.
• Gratuitous Beyonce photo No. 1
(Associated Press)
• The Super Bowl halftime show started as a small time gig
The University of Arizona and Michigan marching bands were the Super Bowl I halftime entertainment. Marching bands were the flavor of the game's halftime early on. The bands from Florida A&M, Grambling and Texas all got a turn, with some themes (“Tribute to Duke Ellington” was Super Bowl IX, for an example) being mixed in to jazz it up. That led to ...

• The Up With People era
The fact that Up With People played the Super Bowl four times from 1976-86, and basically began the trend of over-the-top halftime shows at the big game, is often cited and mind boggling no matter how many times it is repeated. The group is a large ensemble of young people providing a "common message of hope and goodwill to people around the world." This actually happened at four Super Bowls:
• Gratuitous Beyonce photo No. 2
(AP)
• Weirdest modern Super Bowl halftime performance, non-Up With People division
Michael Jackson's performance at Super Bowl XXVIII was far from the worst (hello, Black Eyed Peas!), but it was one of the strangest just for the way, way too long and uncomfortable "I'm gonna just stand here for a couple minutes" pause at the beginning.
• The best halftime performance
There will be no argument (and Yahoo! Sports' Les Carpenter wrote a great history of U2's fantastic performance this week, to top it off):
• Gratuitous Beyonce photo No. 3
(AP)
• Beyonce might have a surprise up her sleeve, and you can bet on it ... literally
There are rumors that Beyonce will have either Destiny's Child (the group she used to be with when she came on the scene) or her husband Jay-Z on stage with her at some point during her set. These rumors must be well founded, because she was asked about them during her press conference.
“I can’t really give you any details," she said. "I’m sorry.”
[Y! Sports Fan Shop: Buy Super Bowl XLVII merchandise]
You can actually bet on Jay-Z being on stage with Beyonce. According to the Super Bowl proposition bets sent along by R.J. Bell, the founder of gambling information site Pregame.com, the bet "Will Jay-Z join Beyonce on stage during halftime show?" is being offered. For a $100 bet you can win $110 if the two are on stage together. Pretty sure there were no Up With People prop bets offered back in the day.
• This is a big deal, even for a star like Beyonce
No matter how famous one is, the thought of performing for that many people is a bit overwhelming. One screw up can define a career. When you think of Janet Jackson, your first thought likely isn't about the majesty of "Rhythm Nation 1814."
“It is nerve-racking and it is something that we’ve been preparing for about four or five months," Beyonce said. "So, of course I’m nervous."
