JAY-Z SCAVENGER HUNT

On November 16th, Jay-Z is launching his first book, "Decoded" with pages of the book hidden in places that are meaningful to him. This includes imprinting the bottom of the pool in the Delano hotel in Miami and underneath plates at the Spotted Pig in New York City. The clues to their locations were revealed on Jay-Z.com, a Bing site, and Jay-Z's Facebook and Twitter pages - and discoveries win prizes, too. On Thursday, November 11th, Gucci revealed that two pages of the book were located in the windows of its Fifth flagship store, printed in the lining of a leather bomber jacket. But don't get your hopes up! When the book is said to be released, the jacket will be gifted to Jay-Z himself.

LINDSAY LOHAN'S CONTROVERSIAL PHOTO

Lindsay Lohan's recent pose on Feburary 12th in Purple's Fashion Magazine Spring Issue shown below has caused a huge amount of controversy from Catholics and Christians.

Her striking pose is strong enough to create an impression of a crucifixion given her arms are stretched out and her head is sporting a thorn-like crown. Lohan's white flowing gown is designed by Ungaro and is displayed in a white background to suggest purity and simplicity. Despite Lindsay's simple pose and cover, there are many complications that have upset the public. Religious crowds are angry and ashamed that she is posing as Jesus Christ when she has a history of uncontrollable partying, drug and alcohol abuse, and has served time in jail for driving under the influence.

Bill Dohanhue, head of the Catholic lead stated, "Not only is this pose inappropriate, the timing is offensive," given Catholics were preparing for Ash Wednesday.

Lindsay's publicist goes on telling the public that "she is following in her father Michael’s biblical footsteps- he dressed as Joseph in a Times Square nativity scene a couple of years ago." Irony hovers over this statement as there is still an on going fued between Lindsay and her father. Furthermore, Michael Lohan served a two year sentence in jail for a serious accident caused by driving under the influence of alcohol. Months after his release, Lohan played the role of Joseph in Times Sqaure.

Is this a sign for forgiveness or a start over through a religous pose? Is Lindsay really following her father's biblical footsteps? Or is this just another one of her media sparking photograph for the headlines?
