92. The sad thing about all of this is the fact that we are all on this site, caught up in the world of celebrity instead of out in the world doing something about the atrocities that are taking place every second of every day. Spreading the word about Darfur, , etc... Why are we not as work up about these issues as a gossip page posting wrong information? Just remember when you point a finger there are three pointing back at you. Get out and do something today that actually matters and makes a difference. I know I am.

93. You guys complaining about TMZ are retarded. They said they haven't verified the story - what more do you expect?

Geez, what a bunch of cry-babies!!

95. They could have waited 15 lousy minutes before reporting it, and they would have realized it was not Jay Z. Instead they got all his fans in a tizzy, myself included.
It doesn't matter if it was filed under "gossip" or "rumors", or that the reports are unconfirmed. You just don't say something like that without have a reasonable amount of evidence pointing to it. Many people come to TMZ to get their celebrity information, and much of what TMZ is correct or can be backed up. They were wayyyy off the mark with this one.

100. As if Jay Z would fly on a 4-seater PROP plane from GA to Vegas. Yeah.

101. Two of the three were Jim Hilburn and Jefferson Davis. The third individual is either J. C. Pitts (which may be why Jay-Z's name was out there) or a Mr. Connell. I can't get confirmation yet on which one was the third passenger. Anybody out there know?

103. to #107- There is nothing on CNN's website about it. Was this on TV or on the internet? or are you just lyin?

104. According to the local news here in NC:

The plane, built in 1977, was registered to Steven R. Garner of Dublin, Ga., according to the FAA Web site. No other details were immediately available.

105. to #111
Why does everybody keep saying that it is racist. Jay-Z is black. The people on the plane were white. THOSE ARE FACTS. There is nothing about those statements that are racist. The only reason TMZ said that is to dispel the belief that Jay-Z was on that plane. It's pretty simple. Stop making a big deal about it.
What would you have preferred them to say?
"We just received confirmation that it was not Jay-Z on the plane, but we can't tell you WHY we are certain, because we don't want you to think we are racist"
