HATE TAKES A HOLIDAY

MTV is treating Miami to a Saturday-night concert before Sunday's Video Music Awards, but Beenie Man is no longer invited. The Jamaican singer — whose reggae-style songs include homophobic lyrics — was pulled from the concert's talent lineup after gay activists planned to protest. They apparently don't enjoy classic Beenie lines like "Queers must be killed" and "I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays." Go figure.
