That works out to three million an hour.

At that rate, I'd work a standard 40 hour week and retire in style!

Expensive.
I have to assume the format was like this:

1st song: emerge in theme outfit, flash the lingerie, remove theme outfit
2nd song: remove bra, pole dance
3rd song: bring out the sheepskin, off come the panties, writhe around
4th song: shower encore

What? And she sang, too?

How much did Jay-Z get?

Someday, he'll be a dictator of a small country, too.

The strange thing is that one of those songs was Yes! We Have No Bananas.

At least a quarter of that was for the cleavage alone.

Don't you remember? Qaddafi became our bestest pal again when he publicly gave up his nuclear weapons program.

It's spelled with a "G" now?

 
zappawizard 2009-01-05 10:02:20 AM  
so basically, Jay-Z and Mariah took a gig performing for someone with ties to a known terrorist and possibly was one himself?


someone please tell Bill O'Reilly!!!!!!

The Brits have always spelled it with a G.

Seriously, this guy is an unapologetic pig. These "stars" should do a little research before they take a gig like this. The Lockerbie bombing is still fresh to the victims families.

from Wikipedia:
On December 10, 2004, shortly before a trip by Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to Tripoli, Saif requested in an interview with The Globe and Mail a formal apology from the Canadian government, for joining U.S.-led sanctions against Libya after the Lockerbie bombing, and for denying him a student visa to study in Canada in 1997. His request was met with incredulity in Canada, and the Canadian government announced that no apology would be forthcoming.


In an August 2008 BBC TV interview, Saif said that Libya had admitted responsibility (but not admitted "guilt") for the Lockerbie bombing simply to get trade sanctions removed. He further admitted that Libya was being "hypocritical" and was "playing on words", but Libya had no other choice on the matter. According to Saif, a letter admitting "responsibility" was the only way to rid the economic sanctions imposed on Libya. When asked about the compensation that Libya was paying to the victims' families, he again repeated that Libya was doing so because it had no other choice. He went on to describe the families of the Lockerbie victims as "trading with the blood of their sons and daughters" and being very "greedy": "They were asking for more money and more money and more money".

Was it the son that used to date an Israeli supermodel?

I guess it doesn't matter since it's translated from goofy moon-man letters but there should be a consensus.

Not really. Robin Williams Live at the Met. Hilarious.

A million bucks? If it was me, she better be singin those songs while I'm farking her in the ass!

 
BigMax 2009-01-05 12:15:33 PM  
For those who are interested, offer her $50. After she accepted Saif's offer, we know what she is -- now it is time to haggle.

/credit to Winston Churchill, or to whomever first attributed it to Winston Churchill.

Oh God yes. She may be nuttier than squirrel shiat, but I'd wear her like a feed bag.

I think, that if I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tell the spoilt offspring of a dictator to stick his million dollars up his camel-farking ass (or ass-farking camel for that matter) I would.
Yep, almost certainly.
Especially, if I didn't really need the money.
/Like, if I already had millions of dollars anyway.
//Maybe royalties, or something.
///from, er, songs and million selling albums.
////And videos and shiat.
//On the other hand, if I was the world's smuggest and most overrated attention whore, I might be tempted to take the money.
//And throw it on the pile.

Gaddafi is complex. You never know where his mind will be regarding something. He's no dummy. Except that whole "kill whitey" bit in the '80s. But he cool now.
