The Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the very limited edition—like, one copy only—secret album that RZA envisioned as a touring museum piece, has proven divisive, even inside the Wu itself.

On this historic day of heart-warming (if meaningless) declarations of support for gay marriage, let's just point out one more influential figure who's declared support, maybe: Method Man.

Rapper Method Man was hit with a "full beer can" at this weekend's Gathering of the Juggalos, becoming the second artist to be assaulted by fans of rap group Insane Clown Posse after Tila Tequila, who was "pelted with feces."

Method Man is in the midst of a European tour. During his stop in Germany, his tour bus was robbed. Meth and his crew did what most logical people would: they went to the police station and reported the crime.

Victoria Beckham is rumored to be replacing Paula Abdul on Idol, Brad Pitt was once a stoner, K-Fed is getting paid to lose weight, Jude Law's new lady friend was a Hooters waitress in Florida and Kristin Davis spurns OXFAM.

Last November, Mary Anderson attended a Method Man concert at Houston's House of Blues. Later, she approached Method Man, whom Ms. Anderson was a fan of, for an autograph. He then pulled out a gun and opened fire on her.

• Madonna's kicked boytoy Jesus Luz to the curb and is thrilled to be single again, reports Britain's Daily Mail based on the things she's been telling fans on Twitter.

Wendy Williams, the queen of hip hop talk radio and sworn enemy of Method Man and his cancer-stricken wife, is in high demand these days. And not just by hitmen looking for work! Williams is about to launch a trial run of a morning talk show on Fox, for those who would rather watch a loud, be-wigged radio DJ first thing in the morning than learn some new summer smoothie recipes from Meredith Vieira. Television is a wasteland, let's face it. But at least Wendy is planning to keep things upbeat; the last long discussion her producer had was about "whether you can say penis."

You can look at Wendy Williams, the loud queen of hip hop talk radio, in two ways: she is popular, in the sense that her show is still one of the biggest things on the radio dial; but she's also not popular, in the sense that her crazy husband runs around her studio hiring hitmen, sexually harassing the female employees, and generally acting like a gangster, according to a new lawsuit from a traumatized publicist. Williams denies it all, including the claim that her husband slammed her up against the wall because she failed to stop smoking. But one thing she can't deny: she is mean. In 2006 she told everybody on air about how Wu-Tang rapper Method Man's wife had cancer—which was private. Method Man responded with one of the most sincere anti-gossip rants in recent history:
