NORTH KOREA FREES 2 U.S. JOURNALISTS

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has pardoned two jailed American journalists and ordered their release following an unannounced meeting with former President Bill Clinton, media reports said Tuesday.

Clinton met earlier Tuesday with Kim after arriving in Pyongyang on a surprise visit, holding “exhaustive” talks that covered a wide range of topics, state-run media said.

Clinton traveled to communist North Korea on a mission to try to secure the release of Americans Euna Lee, 36, and Laura Ling, 32, reporters for former Vice President Al Gore’s Current TV media venture who were arrested along the Chinese-North Korean border in March and sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for illegal entry and engaging in “hostile acts.”

GHOSTFACE ON WOMEN AND RESPECT

Ghostface told Angela Yee exactly how he felt about women versus men and sex.

“I’m saying, for a woman that’s supposed to have respect [she should] not just let anybody slide into her temple. It’s even worse if she [has] kids. I don’t think it’s [necessary] for someone who has respect for themselves to take a different [man] home every month.”

About Karrine “Superhead” Steffans, Ghost got even more frank.

“I would never wife that. She had so many d—s in her mouth, I would never wife that.”

JAY-Z TO SIGN FORMER BAD BOY ‘SHYNE’!

Here are some bits of info for you. Shyne is in N.I.C. (North Infirmary Command). From what I have been told, that is an area for “high profile people, such as celebrities.” The big man Jay-Z allegedly and reportedly went to visit Shyne last Friday. Shyne is with the state and at N.I.C. for his court hearings to see if they will let him out early. Hey, you know Jigga DOES NOT walk into a jail and not get noticed. I mean, this is all a rumor (wink, wink), but my sources are telling me this is 100% truth. Time will tell.

RICK ROSS IN SHOOTOUT?

I don’t know what this is all about, but I am getting word that Rick Ross had a problem in Miami when his Maybach was shot up. This reportedly happened and still the BAWSE was well protected by his friend appropriately titled Gunplay. I heard he wasn’t playing when she busted his gun back at the would-be assailants. The police did come out, but, since Ross wasn’t the one instigating, he didn’t do anything but answer some questions, according to rumor.
