<p>There&#8217;s been some confusion ever since <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Russell-Simmons" target="_self">Russell Simmons</a></strong> said <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/tiger-woods" target="_self">Tiger Woods</a></strong> was <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/01/14/2010-01-14_wyclef_jean_haitian_relief_group_yele_may_get_3m_donation_.html#ixzz0cc71yEng" target="_blank">considering donating $3 million</a> to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, and was &#8221;working on sending a mobile hospital with 50 EMTs to go set up a triage.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the golfer&#8217;s <strong>Tiger Woods Foundation </strong>hasn&#8217;t spoken yet to Simmons, <strong>Gossip Cop </strong>can confirm that the organization is definitely going to help those affected by the earthquake, although no specific dollar figure has been determined.</p>
<p>According to Foundation president <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Greg-McLaughlin" target="_self">Greg McLaughlin</a><span style="font-weight: normal;">, </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8220;Our plan is be part of the relief effort to help rebuild Haiti by supporting organizations that provide critical resources to young people, which is consistent with our mission and previous efforts regarding Hurricane Rita, Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami.&#8221; </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Worth noting: For the 2004 tsunami, Woods&#8217; foundation doled out $100,000 in charity, and for Hurricane Katrina, the golfer gave $200,000 to set up an educational fund.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">So Woods has been <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very</span> generous in the past. He&#8217;s also, of course, been caught in an image-shattering sex scandal for the last two months.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">In this crisis, of course, help is great no matter the context.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Gossip Cop</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">wants to know what YOU think.</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gossipcop.com%2Fblog-totally-out-of-bounds-with-jay-z-story%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gossipcop.com%2Fblog-totally-out-of-bounds-with-jay-z-story%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><div id="attachment_8161" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 209px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8161" src="http://www.gossipcop.com/wp-content/uploads/jay-z-199x300.jpg" alt="(GettyImages.com)" width="199" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">(GettyImages.com)</p></div>
<p>Whoa! <strong>MediaTakeOut</strong> – or MediaFakeOut as some call it – ran with a screaming headline, “Explosive Allegation: <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jay-z" target="_self"><strong>Jay Z</strong></a>&#8217;s Former Friend Suggests That [he] <a href="http://www.mediatakeout.com/2009/36699-explosive_allegation_jay_zs_former_friend_suggests_that_jigga_engaged_in_homosexual_acts.html" target="_blank">Engaged in Homosexual Acts</a>!!!”</p>
<p>According to MediaTakeOut, which also posted a videotaped rant from the past pal, rapper <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jaz-o" target="_self">Jaz O</a></strong>, “Jay&#8217;s former friend appears to be saying that Jay is involved in some kind of GAY SECRET SOCIETY.”</p>
<p>Because <strong>Gossip Cop</strong> doesn’t print expletives, we can’t really publish too much of what Jaz O said, but we will report that he also used the ever classy hand signal of sticking his right index finger into his rounded left hand, and noted Jay-Z’s “involved in that play.”</p>
<p>Additionally, Jaz O makes some sort of other nonsensical claim that Jay Z lets people “feel him up.”</p>
<p>Forget how outrageous the allegations are about the man who put a ring on it with <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/beyonce" target="_self">Beyonce</a></strong>. We’re sure legal types will address that.</p>
<p>The question is why did MediaTakeOut even publish this story and post the video? Unfortunately, we don&#8217;t know because our request for a comment from MediaTakeOut went unanswered.</p>
<p>But we know exactly how<strong> </strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/russell-simmons" target="_self"><strong>Russell Simmons</strong></a> feels about it. Simmons, the legendary founder of Def Jam – the label that Jay Z ran – told <strong>Gossip Cop</strong> the story is &#8220;bad reporting. So stupid.” He added, &#8220;That&#8217;s ridiculous. Misery loves company,” and felt “it’s sad people writing sad stuff for short-term relief, but then that again promotes long-term sadness.”</p>
<p>The allegations, the reporting – all truly sad (and wrong).</p>
