Well now, I think we all know what today's real-or-Onion headline is: as confirmed by Cash Money co-founder Birdman, Paris Hilton has signed to Limp Bizkit's label for her first solo album in seven years. According to Miss Info, the follow-up to Paris will feature "plenty of house music with touches of hip-hop and an appearance from Lil’ Wayne." Oh, and the executive production of Afrojack.

Here's hoping Banksy finds a way to invade the digital realm with a culture-jamming stunt like the one he did around Hilton's last album. In the meantime, here's the first sign this was going to actually happen... more »

The ongoing saga that is Lil Wayne's life kicked into high gear on L.A.'s Power 106 station last night as the rapper revealed the true root of his recent struggle with seizures: epilepsy.

"This isn't my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure," he admitted. "I've had a bunch of seizures; y'all just never heard about it."

As for the rumors that Wayne was just on his death bed, he confirmed that a series of seizures caused his heart rate to plummet. "Basically, I could've died," he explained. "That's why it was so serious. But the reason for the seizures was just plain stress, no rest, and overworking myself. That's just typical me, though."

Hey, remember when Kanye West couldn't help running his mouth about DONDA, "a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas"? Well one of its first high profile projects has landed on Complex: the fava beans-optional cover for I Am Not a Human Being II. That'd be the latest long-delayed LP from Lil Wayne, which is set for a March 26th release date at the moment.

"It was his idea," Wayne said of the collaboration in an MTV interview last month. "I was just like ‘okay, do whatever,’ because I don’t do nothing but rapping...That’s all I know about.”
