A group of apparently Russian hackers, working on the website "exposed.su," claims to have published the private personal information of—or "doxxed"—17 politicians and celebrities. Victims include Michelle Obama, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller, all of whom had credit reports posted to the website, as well as Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, whose social security numbers were published.

As of this writing, Rand Paul's filibuster protesting potential legal drone assassinations on American soil was entering its eleventh hour. In addition to support across Twitter as well as lots of concern about when/how Paul's going to the bathroom, the filibuster featured a memorable moment from the Republican Party's number one rap fan, Marco Rubio. As the the filibuster's resident wannabe Afrika Bambaataa scholar, Rubio peppered his speech with references to "modern day poet" Wiz Khalifa, Jay-Z, and the "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" scene in The Godfather. Let's hope this filibuster never ends.

Alicia Keys says her son gave Blue Ivy her first kiss, even though Bey and Jay obviously seek a more powerful alliance.

"Here it is... All pressed up in black and white": Justin Timberlake this morning unveiled the official music video for his comeback single, "Suit & Tie."

There are only two true approaches to being in the audience at a major televised awards show, forever in conflict: full, 100-percent commitment to having the time of your life, and full, 100-percent commitment to not giving a shit. On Sunday night at the Grammys, Taylor Swift took the first path, and Jay-Z took the second, and those of us watching at home were far better for it.

What is there to say about a night dedicated to music that is kind of, almost catchy enough to be OK? Not much. Just smile and bob, smile and bob.

Today Washington, D.C. was all atwitter with the graduation of President Obama from first-term president to second-term president. Here is your Inauguration 2013 yearbook.

Here are two contextual ways to view Justin Timberlake's subdued "Suit & Tie," the first single from his upcoming 20/20 Experience album (his first since 2007's FutureSex/LoveSounds):

The countdown unveiled by Justin Timberlake on Friday lapsed last night, revealing that it was, as rumored, counting down to the release of the singer's first new single in six years: "Suit & Tie (feat. Jay-Z)."

Is Justin Timberlake getting really to unveil his first new single in years?

As of Tuesday morning, Kanye West's only tweet is a low-quality Getty Image cropped to just the faces of West, Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé. The picture is captioned "FAM." Beyoncé and Jay-Z's real life FAM, Beyoncé's sister Solange, has been cropped out of the image; you can see her in the original here.

Jay-Z drops $1M a year on a luxurious dungeon nursery for Blue Ivy because he is both a great dad AND an evil witch.

Gwyneth Paltrow does a pretty good job of embarrassing both her children (Apple and Moses Martin) and God's children (all of us watching), in this video of her champagne sway-dancing onstage with Jay-Z and Chris Martin at the former's New Year's Eve concert.

What happens behind the scenes at Gawker? We know you ask yourselves this question every single hour of every single day, and we don't blame you. We are fascinating. Sometimes we order sandwiches for lunch, and sometimes we order burritos. Sometimes we listen to music while we blog, and sometimes we do not. Sometimes Max Read picks his nose, but not always. With all this in mind, we're sharing with you our official "behind the blog post" backstories for all of the posts you clicked the shit out of this year. Next up: Jay-Z explains who he is to an old lady, world goes awww.

Jay-Z, were you looking for your sister on the subway? If you were, she's here, on NBC4 New York, in the middle of segment about the LIRR.

Today (which happens to be Hova's 43rd birthday), a 24-minute documentary on Jay-Z's 8-show stint that opened Brooklyn's Barclays Center in September was released via YouTube. One highlight of Where I'm From occurs when Jay takes the subway en route to his last show and sits next to a kind-faced older woman named Ellen who has no idea who the fuck she's talking to. The ensuing conversation is infinitely sweeter and more humble than if she had.

It's being hailed as "the best post on reddit ever."

Worried that you might not actually know the words to the original "99 Problems," Rush Limbaugh would like to recite them for you. The original lyric, mind you, was indeed "bitch" before Jay-Z changed it to "Mitt" for an Obama rally. Rush would also like to remind you that Jay-Z uses the word "hoes." And also probably "hood."

Newark mayor-cum-superhero Cory Booker and hip hop's Jehovah Jay-Z both garnered viral traction today from two separate lyrical remixes to "99 Problems," raising the critical question: Who remixed it better?

Beyonce and Jay-Z may have failed to trademark "Blue Ivy," but they have successfully patented true love and happiness.
