If 2008 is half as successful for hip-hop mogul, Jay-Z as 2007 was, then he'll have reason to be smiling all year long. The latest venture Jay can add to his resume is his club 40/40, which just opened in Vegas. His girlfriend, Beyonce, was looking all Diana Ross from the late 70s with her sister, Solange by her side, looking like twins on the red carpet. I like B with the darker hair and it looks like having that baby put some curves on Solange's frame. Cute. And, the club is opening just in time for New Year's Eve festivities, which may or may not involve infamous starlets passing out on the dance-floor. I just hope Carrot Top, who looks like a very disturbed lumberjack, wearing eye-liner in one of the thumbnails after the jump, has nothing menacing planned. That man frightens me beyond all reason.

For some reason Carrot Top scares the shit out of me too.
However, he was in one of my favorite episodes of Gene Simmons Family Jewels- the episode where Gene gets a vibrator glued to his hand. And I got to admit he made me laugh.

Can someone please tell me why Jay Z is sometimes referred to as "Hova"? Thank you!
