    Seriously:

    My question is ... will the New York Times now begin referring to him as "Mr. Z" upon second reference?

    Sometimes he spells the hyphen.

    How soon until he changes it again to J. Diddy?

    I thought it was cool when he went by his real name of Marshall Matters.

    Removing the hypen was part of meeting the stipulations put forth by Roger Goodell
    for Z to become an NFL agent.

    Story also says Jay Z made the change a while back, and nobody really noticed.

    Attention whore.

    He should go by Jayz, sort of like the potato chips.
