Rapper Jay Z recently turned his single "Picasso Baby" into a work of art itself. He performed the track for onlookers for six hours straight at Pace Gallery in New York City. The performance, which was taped for use in an upcoming music video, will became a piece of performance art onto itself. In other Jay Z news, it looks like Hova is well on his way to his thirteenth No. 1 album, as "Magna Carta Holy Grail" has already sold millions since its release. The Brooklyn MC also set the record straight regarding an incident involving actor Robert DeNiro some time ago. It seems that  DeNiro called the rapper, only he never received a return phone call. Hova says he treats those as they behave. No comment from DeNiro. Wife Beyoncé, meanwhile, responded to critics who say she's a hypocrite for supporting First Lady Michelle Obama's fitness campaign while endorsing soft drink giant Pepsi. Bey says she's always believed in balance. Singer Rihanna continues to make moves in the industry. She's adding her star power to Budweiser's Made For Music global campaign. The singer joins the likes of Jay Z and Justin Timberlake in Anheuser-Bush InBev's branding efforts. According to Ad Age, the marketing push will reach 85 countries via social media, television commercials and limited edition beverage packing, as well as sponsorship for Rihanna's and Jay Z's concerts. To introduce the campaign, Budweiser debuted two new 30-second "Dreams Are Made" ads, one of which features Rihanna switching hats from director to performer while her single "Right Now" plays in the background. Jay's spot features his single "PSA" and follows the Brooklyn native from the studio to the stage. Both ads will air in the U.S., Brazil and Canada before expanding to other markets. Both Rihanna and her Rock Nation boss have millions of Twitter followers and have sold millions of records worldwide. They each even made Forbes magazine's 2013 Celebrity 100. On the tube: "Hell's Kitchen" on Fox, "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS, "Wipeout" on ABC and "The Winner Is" on NBC. Happy 'Thursday!
