Even with viking horns on, Flav came up short with Brigitte Nielsen.
March 9th is a famous day in history. It’s the day that Biggie died, it’s the day Barbie debuted, and it’s also (now) the day that Wayne went to jail. But in 1796, it was also the day Napoléon Bonaparte married his first wife, Joséphine de Beauharnais. Although Napoleon’s true height has become a subject of recent debate, the fact that a Napoleon Complex is named after him, we’re going to go ahead and say that even in a recession we got money stacks taller than him. However, that didn’t stop him from taking over the world and wifing chicks way too tall for him anyhow. That’s why in celebration of Josephine and Napoleon’s 214th wedding anniversary, we’re taking a look at our 10 favorite short dudes who date tall chicks. Read on for the come-up.
Ah, another present from Uncle Hov. In 2007, Fabolous remade two unreleased Jay-Z demo songs—”Make Me Better” and “Return of the Hustle”—into singles for his album From Nothin’ To Somethin’. And now, Fab is back with a video for one of the standout tracks on Loso’s Way, a Jermaine Dupri-produced cut that originally leaked back in January…as a Jay-Z song. “Where The Money Goes” was rumored to be an outtake from American Gangster, but Fab got his hands on it and kept Jay on the hook. Interestingly, this is also the first cameo Jay-Z has made in another rapper’s video since Freeway’s “What We Do” in 2003. Can’t stop the Brooklyn bromance!
Uh oh, faux rap-retirement alert! There was news today that Bow Wowannounced his retirement from music to focus on his acting. Do we believe him? Of course not. But really, hate him or love him, Bow Wow has accomplished a great deal for a 22-year-old: six successful studio albums, several lead movie roles (including the upcoming Hurricane Season, about a post-Katrina hoops team), and a few highly memorable appearances on Entourage. Most recently he reunited with longtime mentor Jermaine Dupri for the album New Jack City II, which dropped March 31.
Despite naming his album after the classic drug-gang film, Bow Wow sticks to what he knows best—making poppy records for the 106 & Park crowd. We recently asked Bow Wow our always-interesting Complex 7 questions. Read on to find the out his ultimate turnoff, the stupidest shit he’s ever done, and making up with Soulja Boy…
Bailouts, layoffs, bank failings'yeah we’d heard the economy sucks right now but we didn’t believe it until we woke up today and heard the rumors that Jermaine Dupri has been fired from his job as the head of urban music at Island/Def Jam (we refuse to believe his dismissal had anything to do with his business acumen). Can breadlines and Wall Street types hopping off buildings be far behind? Somebody confiscate Q the Kid’s shoelaces, stat!
But luckily for JD, he’s a multi-talented dude and he should have no problem transitioning into a variety of careers until the next Kris Kross comes around. But just in case, we’ve got a few job suggestions for him…
Well, Jermaine Dupri, you life-sized California Raisin, you had to go and ruin it for all of us. Just when we were getting used to the fact that you've been consistently slaying Janet Jackson for the better portion of the last decade, today you've made it clear in a People.com article that you two are finally ready for a baby.
Don't get us wrong, it was bound to happen, but we're just not ready to say goodbye to the Janet we remember from the “Love Will Never Do Without You” and “Anytime, Anyplace” vids. Childbirth takes its toll on a hottie's body'just ask B.Spears. Juicy-J, with your tight ass and perky twos headed toward sag town, we wanted to take a minute to remember when you were at your best. Reminisce on some classic moments below.
