Fox News won't stop referring to Jay Z as a crack dealer. The hip hop superstar and millionaire entrepreneur businessman might have been dealer a long time ago, but two decades of dominating the entertainment industry isn't enough to stop Fox News from still characterizing him as a "crack dealer", and The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and Jessica Williams delivered a stunning rebuke on last night's episode. Meanwhile, as Jay Z, wife Beyonce and producer Timbaland are being sued by a Hungarian singer over "Drunk In Love", the hip hop royalty pair have been in New York hanging out with Rita Ora at the annual Roc Nation holiday party, and hitting the red carpet with Will Smith, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx for the premiere of the Jay Z-produced Annie.

It would appear safe to say that Olivia Munn’s road to stardom has been a rather interesting one. The actress kicked off her career studying journalism, then moved to playing a faux reporter for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and finally a fictional journalist on HBO’s The Newsroom opposite Dumb and Dumber To’s Jeff Daniels.
