According to a person in the know, Jay Z and Kanye West are rumored to have been
in some kind of a PHYSICAL ALTERCATION - with whispers that Jay may have
"slapped" Kanye.

Rumors of a CHILL in the two's relationship began
showing up last month - when Kanye West REFUSED to perform at a Brooklyn
concert, designed to promote the duo's new album.

And last week, the pair
performed at the same concert - but they DID NOT go on stage
together.

According to our pals at the NY POST, Jigga and Yeezy's
disagreement stems from their upcoming concert - where Jay wants to keep costs
down, and Yeezy wants an EXPENSIVE over-the-top production.

But our
insider, who is VERY close to the two (remember we were the FIRST and ONLY place
to get those WATCH THE THRONE PICS), says that the trouble goes FURTHER BACK
than that. They claim that it was there while the two were
recording.

Tells MediaTakeOut.com's insider, "There were some tense days
in the studio . . . and I heard Jay put hands on Kanye . . . a slap."

No word yet on the color of the bundle, but Pink's a mommy-to-be!

"She's 12 weeks along," says the insider. "She wanted to do it between tours, when she has some time off."

The source adds that after the duo’s 2008 separation, “Pink was determined to make the relationship solid. Now she’s really happy, and she’s excited she got pregnant so fast! She’ll be a brilliant mother.”

Don't blame Bret Michaels.

The rocker denied rumors that he had an affair with Miley Cyrus's mother, Tish, who last month split from Billy Ray Cyrus after 17 years of marriage. 



 

Michael Jackson's mom says Joe Jackson isn't controlling MJ's kids ... or forcing them to be the next Jackson singing group -- and she thinks that came across in the Oprah interview

The Jackson family rep tells TMZ Katherine Jackson believes Prince, Paris, and Blanket "expressed their own desires to be in the entertainment business" during the sitdown with O.

Katherine also says she hopes fans "don't think anyone like Joe or the family is pushing the kids" ... a not-so thinly veiled reference to Joe infamously pushing Michael and his brothers to do that whole Jackson 5 thing.

Katherine and the kids watched Monday's Oprah together -- and we're told Mama Jax was particularly happy she got to talk about, "Never Can Say Goodbye" ... her tribute book to Michael.

Lil Wayne has criss-crossed the country since getting out of jail last week -- but there is one place he couldn't get into this weekend ... the Wynn Las Vegas

Lil Wayne joined Drake on stage at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday night .... but sources tell us Weezy was a no-show at the after-party located in the Wynn Las Vegas ... and it wasn't his choice.

We're told a rep for the Wynn informed a member of Drake's entourage that Lil Wayne would not be allowed on the property -- and if he tried to enter, he'd be removed.

As for why Wayne was persona non grata -- sources tell us Wynn execs didn't want any trouble ... knowing Wayne is on a very short legal leash, i.e. no booze for three years.

The ban never became an issue ... a rep for Weezy tells us he chilled at the Palms Casino Resort and was not "scheduled" to appear at any events.  A rep for the Wynn had no comment.

Shannen Doherty has had to say goodbye to her inspiration.

The actress's father, John Thomas Doherty, died on Friday at 66. He was in poor health for some time and had suffered a stroke not long before his daughter's appearance on Dancing With the Stars in March.

In fact, Doherty dedicated her short time on the show to her father, who was doing well enough to be in the audience when she performed.

Calling him the "greatest man in the world," she said in a statement: "I love him with every inch of my being and cannot imagine life without him."

Teen pop star Justin Bieber says he is going to create a perfume

that will make girls 'go crazy'. The 16-year-old is getting in touch with his feminine side and making a fragrance for girls.
