Jay Z Gets Embarrassed Watching an Old Video of Himself Rapping--Watch Now!

Before Jay Z was big pimpin' and spendin' cheese, he was a pretty darn cheesy rapper on the rise.

On Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hov took a trip down memory lane ahead of his Tidal X: 1020 concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who dug up old footage from one of Jay Z's first ever rap performances. As you can see in the video above, it was some quality, classic material.

Jay, 45, remembered this being the "worst show ever," be he laughed along as the late-night host showed the vintage clip. In it, we see a much younger Jay with a buttoned-up polo shirt and kinda-'80s hairdo. His image back then wasn't quite the same as it is today, but his rap game was still pretty strong!

After watching the clip, Jay couldn't help but crack up at his younger self. "That was embarrassing," he said through laughter. "In the bit I say something about, 'Jay Z's embarrassed'--I was a prophet, because that was embarrassing!"

Which part? "The haircut," he began, "[and] the shirt--everything!"

Jimmy joked of Beyoncé's hubby's past wardrobe, "It looked like you were going to play a round of golf after that."

Watch Jay's old-school rap performance in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! pic above, and for more on the Tidal X: 1020 concert, check out the video below.

Tinashe Strips Down to Fishnets for Playboy--See the Sexy Pic!

Tinashe is totally showing off her tushie.

The 22-year-old "Player" singer stripped down to an off-the-shoulder crop top, ripped fishnet shorts, and a mane of wild waves as the "Becoming Attraction" of the November issue of Playboy.

Unlike some artists have done in the past, Tinashe opted to do a non-nude photo shoot. She modeled a zippered sports bra and color blocked undies, track shorts and a down-to-there hoodie, and even a pair of camouflage briefs.

While she definitely turned up the heart, Tinashe told the magazine she's not all about the body.

"Sexuality has always been part of who I am as an artist--emphasis on part," Tinashe said. "I'm an all-around entertainer, my own creative force, and I'm bringing something fresh to the table."

This isn't the first time the dark-haired beauty has graced the pages of a world-famous magazine. She got to share the camera frame with modeling superstar Kendall Jenner while wearing a sexy bustier-style black top by Chromat in the latest issue of Vogue.

Talk about learning from the pros!

The singer-songwriter and dancer, who has already released two singles off her upcoming second album Joyride, is the first celebrity to appear in the famously nude magazine since the publication's leaders announced it would no longer feature naked photographs on its pages starting in March 2016.

"Playboy will continue to publish sexy, seductive pictorials of the world's most beautiful women, including its iconic Playmates, all shot by some of today's most renowned photographers," the publication said in a statement in early October.

While the magazine hasn't officially hit newsstands yet--do not fret! We can already tell Playboy is keeping its word because these photos are hot, hot, hot!

Vice President Joe Biden Not Running for President of the United States

The 72-year-old current Vice President delivered a statement in the Rose Garden on Wednesday morning with his wife Jill Biden and President Barack Obama by his side and announced that he will not be running in the 2016 election, citing the death of his son Beau Biden, who passed away in May at age 46 after battling brain cancer.

"I've concluded [the window] has closed," he said. "I know from previous experience there is no time table for this process...Beau is our inspiration. Unfortunately, I believe we're out of time. The time necessary to mount a winning campaign, but while I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent." 

Speculation has been running rampant that Barack Obama's right hand man would run, vying for the democratic nomination against the likes of Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders and more.

But while the former Delaware senator, who has run for president twice before, will not entering the race, he made no secret of his feelings towards our nation's current state.

"I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully, to influence as much as I can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation and this is what I believe: I believe that President Obama has led this nation from crisis to recovery and we're now on the cusp or resurgence," he said. "I'm proud to have played a part in that. This party, our nation, will be making a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama legacy."

In August, during a conference call with the Democratic National Committee, Biden opened up about his possible presidential bid and admitted he's still grieving the death of his son.

"We're dealing at home with...whether or not there is the emotional fuel at this time to run," Biden explained. "If I were to announce to run, I have to be able to commit to all of you that I would be able to give it my whole heart and my whole soul, and right now, both are pretty well banged up."

Currently, Hillary Clinton appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. According to NBC News, she increased her lead over Senator Bernie Sanders following the first Democratic debate last week.

Beyoncé Waves Off Assistant Who Tries to Cover Up Her Cleavage

When you're flawless, you don't need the help of an assistant to make you appear seemingly more perfect.

While walking the red carpet at husband Jay Z's TIDAL X: 1020 Amplified by HTC concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Tuesday, Beyoncé's assistant wouldn't stop touching her--literally. The assistant kept fixing the "Single Ladies" crooner's plunging dress, so much so that Queen Bey had to shirk her off.

In a video shared on Instagram, Beyoncé can be seen telling her helper to "stop it." She somehow manages to maintain her glowing smile while scolding her anonymous employee, which, of course, is yet another reason why she has earned her regal nickname.

If the assistant thought she was #blessed for being able to touch Beyoncé, she'd be right, but there's no denying the amount of cringing she was doing when this happened. As soon as she was rebuffed, the assistant whimpered off into the corner so that Beyoncé could continue to pose like the fierce woman that she is--without any wardrobe malfunctions, thanks to her now-sidelined friend.

Philipp Plein designed the "XO" singer's jaw-dropping gown, which she accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels, Christian Louboutin heels and Georgine fur. Even though she turned heads on the red carpet, she swapped out her fashion-forward look for a pink leotard when it was time to take the stage. She did, however, keep her hair in the high ponytail she debuted when she arrived.

After Nicki Minaj performed some hits from her repertoire, including "Moment for Life" and "Truffle Butter," she launched into "Feeling Myself." A few bars in, Beyoncé and a dance troupe appeared onstage, which marked the first time that Minaj and Beyoncé had performed their hit single together.

Beyoncé then brought out another guest--her husband! The couple performed "Holy Grail" together and even revealed to the audience, "This is my favorite song to sing with my husband."

They ended their performance with a rare showing of PDA: a kiss.

Canada’s opposition wins historic elections

Justin Trudeau is set to become Canada’s new prime minister after his Liberal Party swept to power in general elections, ending nearly a decade of Conservative Party rule.
The Liberals seized a parliamentary majority, an unprecedented turn in political fortunes that smashed the record for the number of seats gained from one election to the next.
The Liberals had been a distant third place party in parliament before this election.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper conceded defeat, ending his government’s nine-year run in power and the 56-year-old’s brand of fiscal and cultural conservatism.
Trudeau, 43, the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, pledged to run a $7.7bn annual budget deficit for three years to invest in infrastructure and help stimulate Canada’s anaemic economic growth.
This rattled financial markets ahead of the vote and the Canadian dollar weakened on news of his victory.
Trudeau has said he will repair Canada’s cool relations with the Obama administration, withdraw Canada from the combat mission against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group in favour of humanitarian aid and training, and tackle climate change.
Trudeau vaulted from third place to lead the polls in the final days of the campaign, overcoming Conservative attacks that he is too inexperienced to govern and to return to the prime minister’s residence in Ottawa where he grew up as a child.
“When the time for change strikes, it’s lethal,” former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said in a television interview.
“I ran and was successful because I wasn’t Pierre Trudeau. Justin is successful because he isn’t Stephen Harper,” Mulroney added.
The Conservatives were projected to become the official opposition in parliament, with the left-leaning New Democratic Party in third.
Liberal supporters at the party’s campaign headquarters broke into cheers and whistles when television networks projected that Trudeau would be the next prime minister.
