Jay Z is definitely in his moment. Academy Award winning director Ron Howard has signed on to helm Jay-Z’s Budweiser Made in America, a film about the festival that will be held this labor day weekend. In a statement Howard said, “This will not be a concert film; it’s a reflection of the fabric of what it means to be Made in America – what the festival represents, why Jay is doing it and how he relates to each artist.” Heady stuff. Keep an eye out for more news about this.

Banks herself mentioned that they had a pow wow during which she admired and was inspired by Kanye’s ambition. Now we have confirmation from Yung Rapunxel’s Twitter feed that she’s working with ‘Ye. In her own words:
“When Kanye West Calls……. You Go To Honolulu”

Another name that’s been mentioned as a replacement for one of the seats vacated by J. Lo and Steven Tyler is Nicki Minaj, which suggests that Idol is hot for a rapper. With either of these heads they can’t go wrong.
