Bodyguards of Jay-Z “literally kicked down the whole door” of a ‘Watch the Throne’ backstage bathroom to free a highly-embarrassed Jessie J, who had accidentally locked herself in.

According to Perez Hilton, the ‘Voice UK’ coach attended the very first concert by Jay and his protégé Kanye West in London. ”I went with Will.i.am to the first ‘Watch the Throne’ show in London,” she said.

Jessie J related how excited she was to walk on stage with the powerhouse crew of performers that included Jay-Z, Kanye, Will, and Kanye’s girlfriend Kim Kardashian. “I was like, ‘Wow, what a crew,” she recalled.

“Then me and my friend got stuck in the toilet,” Jessie brought up.

Perez Hilton clarified that Jessie J and her female friend had accidentally locked themselves in the bathroom. “We nipped in to do our make-up,” she told ‘Voice UK,’ “And my friend knew the door was broken but [she] locked it anyway and said, ‘Babe I think I’ve broken the door.’”

The two ladies could still hear Jay-Z and Kanye West rocking delighted Londoners. “They’d been on for one song,” Jessie recalled. “We could hear them.”

Fortunately for Jessie J and her gal pal, Perez Hilton reported that Jay-Z finally heard of their distress. “It got to about 15 minutes,” Jessie remembered, “And Jay’s security came in. According to the ‘Voice UK’ mentor, “They literally kicked down the whole door,” giving Jessie the chance to brag in the future that she was saved by Jay’s bodyguards.

Jay-Z and Kanye West are currently continuing their ‘Watch the Throne’ tour in Europe.

We interrupt your regular Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries-Kanye West divorce drama for something hilarious: The World’s Most Litigious Man recently sued Kimye for being members of terrorist organization al-Qaeda.

(Perhaps Humphries’ legal team should take note. They did keep up with the Kardashians during their two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey.)

Perez Hilton reported that Jonathan Lee Riches was the Guinness World Record holder for “The World’s Most Litigious Man.” Believe it or not, Ripley, but this man had filed over 5,000 suits in the past eight years. That’s more than 625 lawsuits per year.

According to Riches, Kim Kardashian and her man, Kanye West, hung around the hills of West Virginia (you know, the ones in the Phil Ochs song about Nancy Brown) with members of al-Qaeda.

Perez Hilton did a great job of control their giggling as they went through the detailed legal paperwork that Riches filed. The man claimed that he was “deep in the hills” of West Virginia on June 17 when he allegedly came across Kimye in an “al-Qaeda secret training camp.”

Jonathan Lee Riches accused Kim Kardashian and Kanye West of setting fire to the U.S. flag, treading upon a portrait of Barack Obama, and throwing a concert for fellow al-Qaeda terrorists while they fired AK-47s in the air.

That’s right. West, who verbally reamed an Irish fan for throwing a coin onto the stage during a recent ‘Watch the Throne’ performance in Dublin, was allegedly rocking and rolling to the thunder of an assault rifle on full automatic. And Kim was apparently the bomb in more ways than one. (Cue bad pick-up line now.)

And speaking of ‘Watch the Throne,’ numerous sources presented pictures of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spending June 17 in Paris holding hands and driving a $380,000 Lamborghini during a break from Kanye’s European tour with Jay-Z.

Blue Ivy Carter was named an honorary citizen of Hvar, an island off the coast of Croatia which reputedly lent its name to the 5-month-old baby girl of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

According to The Hollywood Gossip, the tribute from an island on the other side of the globe originated from a blog post of Beyonce that dated back to March. The then-pregnant singer and her husband Jay took a vacation to Hvar last summer, where they came upon the apparent namesake of their bundle of joy.

“We woke up this morning,” Beyonce shared in a video on her blog, “Took a nice little walk, [and] passed by this beautiful blue tree,” which enthralled the former Destiny’s Child member. “I think it’s Blue Ivy,” she admired, “Which would be quite appropriate!”

The Hollywood Gossip reported that after Beyonce posted the video clip about Hvar, tourism to the Croatian island had reportedly increased. Lonely Planet named it the fifth best vacation destination in 2012.

Hvar’s grateful Mayor Pjerino Bebic sent Beyonce and Jay-Z a letter about the island’s intention to bestow honorary citizenship upon Blue Ivy Carter.

“The story of the origin of the name of your daughter,” Mayor Bebic wrote in his letter, “Has brought enormous attention -and therefore tourist promotion- to the town and island of Hvar.”

“Because of this,” Mayor Pjerino Bebic told Beyonce and Jay, “I have decided to confer on your daughter the status of honorary citizen of the town of Hvar.”

Blue Ivy Carter was born this January. She is the first child of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Kris Humphries would like to know where in the world was “close family friend” Kanye West when Humphries married Kim Kardashian last August.

According to The Hollywood Gossip, Humphries had reason to believe that West and Kardashian had been romantically linked together as far back as last summer, before Kris and Kim were wed.

Last year,  Kris Jenner described Kanye West as a “close family friend.” But the ‘Theraflu’ singer was not invited to the ratings-based August wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

Sources informed TMZ that Humphries openly wondered why this was the case. He expressed his suspicion to Myla Sinanaj during their own time as a couple earlier this year.

The Hollywood Gossip noted the sudden importance of Sinanaj in the ongoing divorce battle between Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian. Kim’s attorney subpoenaed Sinanaj to a deposition to share details regarding her relationship with Humphries during a time when Kris was supposedly “heartbroken” after his split with Kim.

According to the latest report from the deposition, Humphries told Myla Sinanaj that he “felt played” by Kim Kardashian. The report also claimed that Sinanaj and Humphries were actually together when the latter first heard Kanye West admit to loving Kim via rap song ‘Theraflu.’

The Hollywood Gossip earlier reported that Kris Humphries allegedly became “visibly upset” when he heard Kanye West sing the lyric “I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him.”

And if that weren’t enough, West apparently aimed another sly dig at Humphries, who was a member of the former New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets,) which was partly-owned by Kanye’s mentor Jay-Z.

“Well that’s cool, baby girl, do your thing,” Kanye West urged Kim Kardashian in ‘Theraflu.’ He then added that the unnamed Kris Humphries was “lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team.”

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian put to rest all the rumors about their alleged feud by enjoying a ‘Watch the Throne’ concert together.

According to Gossip Cop, numerous sources like MediaTakeOut alleged that Beyonce hated Kim. Supposedly, the former Destiny’s Child member refused to be in the same room with the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ reality star.

Many of those same sources also claimed that Beyonce and Jay-Z had “banned” Kim from attending any event associated with Jay’s European tour with his protege Kanye West. In addition, Kim’s romantic relationship with Kanye supposedly worried Beyonce and Jay.

However, Gossip Cop was pleased to provide new, fan-taken photographs that debunked stories of a feud between Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. The two ladies were spotted in each other’s company during the  ’Watch The Throne’ event in Birmingham, England.

As Jay-Z and Kanye West performed at the LG Arena, Kim and Beyonce openly enjoyed themselves. There was nary a hint of their reported rivalry; in fact, they even entered the mosh pit together. And in one photo, Beyonce could be seen leaning against Kim in a very companionable manner while Kim waved at the photographer.

Fans of the twosome and their men uploaded their snapshots of the smiling Kim Kardashian and Beyonce to Twitter.

A man named Patrick White alleged that Jay-Z stole parts of White’s work to write Jay’s best-selling book ‘Decoded.’

Website Madame Noire reported that White filed a lawsuit against the hip hop superstar, ‘Decoded’ writer dream hampton (her name is written with no caps), and publisher Random House last week.

According to AllHipHop.com, White told the United States District Court, Central District, that someone stole his laptop three years ago. “In 2009, my personal computer was compromised,” Patrick White claimed in his handwritten lawsuit against Jay-Z, “Resulting in my personal work to be used in Jay-Z’s book ‘Decoded’ which was released in 2010.”

White professed shock when he realized that portions of ‘Decoded’ were supposedly similar to a book that White was working on.

“[Decoded] contains various expressions/colors/phrases,” Patrick White alleged in his lawsuit, “Which correlates to my work.” He went on to claim that “After contacting or attempting to contact the co-author [Jay-Z], I got no reply.”

AllHipHop.com reported that White’s lawsuit accused Jay of copyright infringement and invasion of property regarding the lost laptop and the allegedly plagiarized parts of ‘Decoded.’

Madame Noire opined that the lawsuit filed by Patrick White -who was practically unknown- was probably bogus. And Jay-Z was familiar with bogus lawsuits.

After the car of an Ohio woman got impounded and sold earlier this June, she sued the capital city of Columbus for $500 billion dollar. The woman accused Jay-Z and P. Diddy of being involved in her automotive troubles and accused them of being “known to have government influence.” An Ohio judge dismissed her suit for being frivolous.

What do you get hip hop mogul Jay-Z -who has multiple homes, cars, and tons of expensive jewelry- for Father’s Day?

If you’re his wife Beyonce, why, get him a private jet worth $40 million.

The Inquisitr reported that Beyonce presented Jay-Z with his new ride last Sunday, a Bombardier Challenger 850. The private jet boasted a living room, a kitchen, and two full bathrooms.

An average flight for a private jet like this cost $20,000 to $30,000. There was also the cost of of hiring pilots to fly the aircraft and mechanics to maintain it.

According to The Inquisitr, buying an expensive private jet was nothing new for Beyonce and Jay-Z. The couple spent $1 million on a family-friendly vehicle to bear their cute baby Blue Ivy Carter. Jay and Beyonce also built their newborn daughter her very own 2000+ square foot nursery.

Another memorable gift from Beyonce was a $2 million Bugatti Veyron supercar for Jay’s 41st birthday two years ago. And back in January of this year, Beyonce reportedly got Jay-Z a brand new pinky ring with a blue sapphire that cost half a million dollars to celebrate the re-opening of Jay’s NYC night club 40-40.

The Inquisitr reported that other celebrity dads enjoyed quieter Father’s Day celebrations. Hugh Jackman took his children for a stroll, Gavin Rossdale spent time with his lovely wife Gwen Stefani and son Zuma, Gene Simmons flew to San Francisco to watch his daughter Sophie audition on ‘X Factor,’ and Woody Allen got slammed by his son Ronan Farrow for marrying Ronan’s adopted sister Soon-Yi.

Then again, Jay-Z and Beyonce can afford big gifts that keep costing, given the celebrity power couple’s reported $750 million purchasing power.

What do you give your girlfriend in return for a $750K Lamborghini? Kanye West reportedly gave Kim Kardashian a far less expensive, but far more meaningful gift: A “huge” betrothal ring, with Jay-Z and Beyonce as witnesses.

MediaTakeOut.com was first to snag the news last Friday. According to the website, Kimye are ‘betrothed’ to each other, which is similar to engagement but not official.

A source that Media TakeOut.com described as “rock solid” claimed that Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian a diamond ring this morning. The ring is officially a betrothal ring. However, the diamond on it is described by the source to be so “huge” that “most people… will consider it an engagement ring” when they see it.

The MediaTakeOut.com source asserted that Kanye gave the ring to Kim Kardashian in front of Kanye’s friends -which included Jay-Z and Jay’s wife Beyonce. The event took place in Ireland, where Kanye West and Jay were holding their ‘Watch The Throne’ tour, and also where Kanye celebrated his 35th birthday. It was photographed, and MediaTakeOut.com claimed to be working on obtaining photos.

According to MediaTakeOut.com, the reason why Kanye West opted for a betrothal ring instead of an engagement ring recognized that Kim Kardashian remained legally married to Kris Humphries. Supposedly, West cannot propose to Kim until the latter’s drawn-out divorce with Humphries comes to a close lest he negatively affect Kim’s case.

MediaTakeOut.com required any and all members of the press to credit it with the exclusive report about the betrothal ring of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Rapper Nasty Nas declared that Gwyneth Paltrow “gets a pass” to use the N-word because she is “the homie.” And if somebody complained, Nas promised to “slap the s***” out of that somebody.

Perez Hilton reported that Paltrow recently tweeted a photo of herself on stage with Jay-Z  and Kanye West during the two rappers’ ‘Watch The Throne’ tour. ”n***as in paris for real!” read the picture’s caption.

Gwyneth Paltrow immediately got slammed for using the N-word. Hold up,” she tweeted one angry Twitter user while pointing out something about her caption: “It’s the title of the song!”

According to Perez Hilton, Nasty Nas -whose real name is Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones, and who is considered by MTV to be one of the most influential rappers in history- came to Paltrow’s defense. ”I would slap the s*** out of somebody for Gwyneth Paltrow,” Nas declared.

“She’s the homie,” he added, “She’s cool. Gwyneth gets a pass,” Nasty Nas vouched. “Real people get a pass.”

According to Nasty Nas, “We know what this s*** is.” He pointed out that “We don’t interrupt Italians when they say ‘Wop’ to each other” because “They gonna punch you in the mouth if you interrupt that.” So, Nas argued, “Don’t interrupt us.”

Nas continued that “We pick and choose” whom to allow to use the N-word. “Some of us will get angrier about it than others,” he noted, “But some people get a pass.”

For Nas, “The people that I know who are cool and real n****s” get a pass to use the N-word. And in his estimation, “Gwyneth Paltrow is a real n****, that’s my homie.”

Perez Hilton reported that Nasty Nas closed his remarks by saying “That’s how I’m on it” and repeating that “Some people get a pass.”

Gwyneth Paltrow is good friends with Beyonce Knowles, the wife of Jay-Z.

Kim Kardashian tweeted complaints about airline company British Airways supposedly opening her luggage and taking “special items” from her bag.

According to Gossip Cop, Kardashian had just returned from Europe -where she spent quality time with her boyfriend Kanye West during his ‘Watch The Throne’ tour with Jay-Z- aboard a British Airways jet. She claimed that some of her valuables have inexplicably gone missing from her luggage.

“Very disappointed in British Airways,” Kim Kardashian tweeted. She accused the company of “opening my luggage & taking some special items of mine!”

According to Kardashian’s tweet, “Some things are sentimental & not replaceable.” Asking “What happened to the days when you could lock your bags!” she opined that people should again be allowed to lock their luggage because “There’s no sense of security & no trust!”

Kim Kardashian ended her tweet by scolding the airline company “Shame on you.”

Gossip Cop attempted to contact Kardashian’s rep in order to find out what items had gone missing. British Airways had yet to reply to similar queries.

Memorabilia was not the only thing Kim Kardashian was missing. “I miss him,” she tweeted, and attached a link to a photo of Kanye West.
