Not exactly a newbie to writing, Kanye West has co-authored his book "Thank You and You're Welcome" with J. Sakiya Sandifer. The book promises to be an insightful look at Kanye and his personal philosophies. Kanye claims that the way he thinks has helped shape who he is, crediting his personal achievements on its principles.

TMZ Reports Tupac Found

Posted: 29 Apr 2009 01:21 PM PDT

The celebrity sleeze news outlet TMZ (can you tell I don't like them) has reported (they will report anything) that Tupac Shakur has been found.

He was supposedly spotted in a bar on Bourbon Street, New Orleans. See the pictures here.

Personally I don't believe that it's him. I've seen more convincing photos of Tupac standing next to 50 Cent. This one just looks like a good look alike. Besides, if you faked your death, would you be looking the same years later? If Tupak was alive I would imagine that he would have changed his appearance completely.

Lil Wayne Attends University of Phoenix

Posted: 29 Apr 2009 12:09 PM PDT

What degree is Lil Wayne working towards at the University of Phoenix? Lil Wayne was interviewed by The View panel last week. During the interview he mentioned that because he started making money at an early age he was pulled out to focus on his career.

University of Phoenix

Wayne, who was a straight A student got his GED but has now gone back to University to finish his degree.

Lil WayneBecause conventional Universities wouldn't cut it, Lil Wayne opted for the University of Phoenix because they specialise in distance education (meaning that you could finish an accredited degree through correspondence).

I also did my degree through correspondence but at Athabasca University. Both schools are similar and offer well respected Business degree's.
