Word coming out of the Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath camp is that there is talks for Jay-Z to join the Aftermath family for a 1 album deal. Here is what sources are saying:

“I know a sound engineer who works with Aftermath artists
(can’t say who because i don’t want to risk his job) but he told me
that while Dre has been in the studio, he has been on the phone
constantly to Jay-Z and they are trying to sort out a 1 album deal
which will see Dre producing the whole record.
If he does sign, Dre apparently wants the album to be released very
late into 2008, so 2008 could very well be Aftermath’s year, with Detox
and possibly a Jay-Z album in the same year.

In other rumors, Jay-Z’s better half Beyonce, who is currently filming her next movie, is rumored to have a nude scene in the movie. For her movie ‘Cadillac Records,’ word is that next week, Beyonce is set to film a love scene which includes nudity.
A person working on set said, “We’re not sure whether
[Beyonce’s] going to go through with it, but that’s what’s supposed to
happen.”
