Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who will turn 91 next Sunday, was rushed from Windsor Castle on Monday to London's King Edward VII Hospital, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

Queen Says She Didn't Come Out
Queen Latifah has dismissed a fresh wave of speculation about her sexuality after performing at a gay pride event in California. Latifah, who has often been dogged by rumors suggesting she's a lesbian, headlined the Lesbian and Gay Pride Festival in Long Beach last month and many blogs and media outlets took that as a sign she was finally 'coming out'. But Latifah has since brushed off the claim, insisting her appearance was misconstrued. She said, "That definitely wasn't the case. I've never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It's just not gonna happen." And Latifah reveals showing her support to the gay community is nothing new: "To me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year's Eve in San Francisco. Tupac (Shakur) happened to be in town, so he came to kick it with me. This was the early '90s. And the boys were like, 'Take your shirt off, Tupac!' He wasn't doing that. But we had a blast in there."

Nicki Minaj will never get an apology, says Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg

Nickigate 2012 has now entered its third day, and neither side is showing any sign of relenting. To recap: Nicki Minaj was scheduled to headline New York hip-hop station Hot 97′s Summer Jam festival on Sunday night. That afternoon, Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg called her hit “Starships” “bulls—” and “not real hip-hop.” Minaj’s label boss Lil Wayne then pulled his entire roster — including Minaj, DJ Khaled, and Busta Rhymes — from the lineup, leaving Nas and Lauryn Hill to take Nicki’s place. Tweets were exchanged, and on Monday night, Minaj had a heated conversation with Hot 97 personality Funkmaster Flex that resolved nothing. On Tuesday, Hot 97 station manager Ebro Darden went on the air to explain the incident further, but didn’t really illuminate what went on between the time Rosenberg said his piece and the time Minaj took off. Which brings us back around to Rosenberg, who clarified his stance on his own show on Hot 97.  “I need it be clear. I gave an opinion on a song,” Rosenberg told his audience. “And Nicki Minaj and Young Money decided to skip Summer Jam. Because of an opinion, not a personal attack, nothing derogatory because she’s a woman. That’s why music is so mediocre nowadays, because no one can give opinions. If you give an opinion, cats hate you, their crew skips your concert, they diss you on Twitter, their boyfriends threaten to punch you in the face.”  Rosenberg went on to explain that Minaj’s boyfriend did in fact threaten him — via Twitter, of course — and that he ultimately believes in what he said and that Minaj and the rest of her company completely overreacted. “She’s had a lot of good moments. ‘Starships’ ain’t one of them, and it represents the opposite of real hip-hop,” he explained. “Regardless of whether the time was good or not, the fact that she then pulled out and Young Money pulled out, means I will never apologize for that. Never.”
