Everything that rises must converge; thus, Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber were spotted partying together in Cannes at Busta Rhymes‘ birthday party (what an eclectic mix of humans that is).
Bieber was sitting atop a throne shirtless because of course he was, and, at once point, Hilton sat on his lap. Initial reports suggest they left together in a sex way, but that’s Not True (BLESSED BE) — TMZ says that they went back to a party at Biebs Manor, along with 50 other people, but Paris left early because the world’s most sparsely-moustachioed imp wouldn’t stop playing his own music (which she, understandably, found irritating).
He should have just played “Stars are Blind” on repeat, like I do when I’m DJ’ing. [TMZ]
Macklemore has issued some musings on his costume the other night, which many saw as an offensive caricature of a Jewish man; he says that he chose the costume pieces at random and that they “had no intended cultural identity or background.” Also: “I’m saddened that this story, or any of my choices, would lead to any form of negativity.”
He goes on: “I will let my body of work and the causes for which I’ve supported speak for themselves. I hope that anyone who may question my intent take a few moments to discover the human and artist that I strive to be. I respect all cultures and all people.” He ends with, “I truly apologize to anybody that I may have offended.” And there you have it, folks. A Macklepology. [Macklemore.com]
Ever thoughtful, Ray J is getting Kim Kardashian and Kanye West a large wedding gift: 4 months worth of 2014 profits from his sex tape with Kim. It comes to $46,840.13, which is like half of that finger-painted Birkin Kanye got her that one time. Thanks, Ray! (If they don’t want it, he says, he will donate the money to Kim’s favorite charity). [TMZ]
