Spencer Prat = Jay Z

FYI I never report on folks I think are famous for NO reason but this was waaaay too Hilarious!!!!

Well at least in his world!

Spencer Pratt insists that his recently released rap song, “I’m a Celebrity,” isn’t just a promo for his upcoming stint on the reality show, “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!” Instead, the newlywed “Hills” star reveals that the song is just a taste of what fans can expect when he does eventually put out his own rap album. Yes, Spencer has plans to release a rap album.

“I’ve always known that I secretly am the hottest rapper in the game,” he told MTV News. “But I didn’t feel the urge until Asher Roth started hitting the airwaves and — no offense to Asher Roth — somebody with some real swagger needed to come into the game. So, I’ll challenge him. I’ll challenge him to a freestyle or whatever.”

He went on to add, “I’m the white Jay-Z in the game. I’m doing the baller thing. I’m more for the streets.”

Pratt — who does have plans to release an album with his equally musically inclined wife, who once hinted at his musical abilities — said that unlike Asher Roth, he’s bringing the baller mentality back to the rap game. “The only person I’m really feeling in the game right now is Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane,” he said, adding that his album will have “big, huge Steve Morales tracks [the producer behind Lil Wayne's 'Pop Bottles'], so it’ll definitely be big hooks, and I’m going after the ringtone game.”

So, until they hit the studio together, fans of Speidi can also look forward to a tour someday. “We’re a team. We’ll be going on tour together. She’s my #1, like Biggie and Lil’ Kim back in the day.”

Hilarious! What do you think? You gonna buy his album?

Rihanna - remake of the bodyguard??

Rihanna may get a bodygaurd - on the big screen. The battered pop star made an impromptu trip to the Big Apple over the weekend to have some meetings about impending projects: one of which is a proposed remake of 1992’s Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick, “The Bodyguard.” Rihanna would be taking on Whitney’s role in the updated version, which an insider says would be a “young and sexy take” on the favorite film. “GI Joe” hottie Channing Tatum’s name has been bandied about to take on Costner’s role.

In addition to talking about her acting career, Ri is working on her new album, which will be released by year’s end. Two new tracks have already been cut - “We Own the Night” and “Pretty Girl Blues.”


Unfortunately, Rihanna has no plans to write or produce her own tracks at the moment. Another person who will not be earning writer/producer credits on the forthcoming album in R&B artist Ne-Yo.

Let' talk about the book

Publicity Stunt: The Art of Noise...

Jonathan Hay: Let's talk about it. (Smiling)

It's been said that you are going to expose. Are you worried about a counterattack from the industry, or people within the industry getting upset -- potential clients even?

Jonathan Hay: No. I am going to be very transparent about everything that I have been involved in - the good and the bad -- but my plan is not to destroy reputations or vindicate myself, but rather to reveal the true art behind crafting a successful publicity stunt...the art of noise. I will use wisdom and integrity, but I'm sure I will gain enemies along the way. That's a given.

You are credited for breaking Rihanna out into the media. Can you please go into detail about that?

Jonathan Hay: Yes. I met Vada Nobles [the producer of Rihanna's first single, "Pon De Replay"] at a Starbucks in Orlando, Florida. I'll never forget that day. Vada told me about this young artist named Rihanna who looked similar to Beyonce and he'd just finished her first single, called "Pon De Replay." We went back to his home studio where he was working on finishing up the remix for it with Elephant Man. Honestly, the first time I heard the song I didn't think it was going to work at all because Will Smith had a song out ["Switch"] at that time with almost that exact same beat. But I was intrigued by the project, nevertheless. At first, nobody seemed to really feel the song, so I started a publicity campaign, single-handedly. The whole idea behind the campaign was to get Vada Nobles out there as a producer so that ultimately people would forget about his past lawsuit and conflict with Lauryn Hill on her album The Miseducation Of Lauyrn Hill.

Jonathan Hay: Anyway, I sent the song to Jennifer Vineyard, my contact at MTV. She did me a favor and broke the story on Rihanna, "Pon De Replay" and Vada Nobles. Along with one of my partners, I then began to fabricate stories of Rihanna and Jay-Z, leaking false rumors to tabloids, working internet message boards, etc. We started to get an insane amount of media coverage very fast. There are so many things we did that people don't even know about, not even Rihanna herself. She was completely unknown and I was paid by Vada Nobles to generate publicity. The mega Island Def Jam deal rumor, we fluffed and fabricated. Rihanna and Vada had no idea what I was doing behind the scenes, but my whole agenda was to get media for the song.

Jonathan Hay: If you check out Rihanna's Wikipedia Page for "Pon De Replay." you'll see that it was on March 17, 2005 [through MTV News] that I helped break Rihanna out into the world. There was a lot more involved but I want to save that detailed interesting chapter for the book.

What do you mean by starting Rihanna rumors?

Jonathan Hay: I mean leaking out sensational stories and spreading them around in the news -- to tabloids such as the National Enquirer, music and gossip sites and whatnot. Like when the rumor surfaced that Jay-Z had a new love life and was cheating on Beyonce...that was just to get attention. Rihanna had nothing to do with ANY of that, nor did she know what we were doing. I was just trying to break the single and stay employed by Vada Nobles. Even Vada didn't know half the stuff I was doing. I kept my strategy a secret at the time because, honestly, everyone would have been against it, the tactics that I used. But I was only thinking about the end result - and look what happened...gossip sells.

So you started that Jay-Z, Rihanna and Beyonce rumor?

Jonathan Hay: I feel awful but, yes, I leaked some of those stories. Looking back, I am ashamed of that; there was zero integrity in that maneuver. But this is entertainment and I wanted to obtain publicity - so I came up with some crazy stories and it worked. Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world now, and look at how she stormed into the business! Not to take anything from her - she is a great artist - but every artist needs a launching pad and there is nothing better than a good scandal to get the public's attention. (Laughing)

You began talking to Jay-Z from your association with Amil [from Roc-A-Fella Records]...

Jonathan Hay: I already had his contact info, but once I started working with Amil it gave me a reason to contact him...

Have you talked to Jay-Z since the Rihanna rumors?

Jonathan Hay: Jay-Z and I had a dramatic-instant involving another artist. That is just water under the bridge now, but it's definitely going in the book. I still talk to Jay-Z every now and then -- I probably nag him (laughing) but he always hits me back. Trust me, my Jay-Z chapter is really an eye-opener. He is the greatest businessman in the history of hip-hop. Jay-Z has succeeded in every business possibility, all across the board. I plan on hopefully sitting down with Jay-Z very soon for some lucrative business opportunities.

He goes on and on and on about more stunts he pulled off and how he started his career to read the rest click 'source' above and expect this book out soon. My only question is. . . saying you started all these pub. stunts, how do we know if this isn't a pub. stunt to sale YOUR book???
