''I would love to sing with her, but unfortunately all eyes are on me.'"
Katharine McPhee on WHITNEY HOUSTON

Does she know what she just said? Who did she think she was talking about? Young B? Hannah Montana? YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON. LOL YOU DIDN'T EVEN WIN AMERICAN IDOL! For real, I had to read this quote about 100 times to make sure I read it correctly because I couldn't believe it. This is just as bad as when Bow Wow went up to Ronald Isley and asked ""My album went gold in it's first week. How many gold albums do you got?"

John Legend debuts at #2 this week with 229,559 copies sold and even though I have no idea HOW (WHERE were his singles/videos in the radio/TV?!) I congratulate him. I find him boring but apparently he is shaping up to be one of those artists who can drop anytime and sell well.

The rest of this week's chart was a pretty abysmal showing for hip hop and R&B debuts, with Jibbs at #10, Shareefa at #20 and Lil' Boosie at #25.

In worse news, though, Brooke Hogan debuted at #28. Ouch! Not a good way to kickoff to Scott Storch's new label.

This is the 83rd single off their album. I guess Nicole is releasing her solo album soon (with that shitty single "Steam"). Will she be able to do it without her background dancers bandmates? Probably.

Oh, and Timbaland's only been "back" for like a year and I'm already sick of him again.

I found this over at C&D and I had to do a double take. Fresh is right, this random hook-ups are getting crazy. I already bet money that if Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake break up he's going to get with Letoya Luckett.

Tyra Banks is wasting no tears over ex-boyfriend, Madea's Family Reunion producer and star Tyler Perry. In fact, a source tells Star that the supermodel/mogul has been busy playing footsie with rapper Chingy! The pair first met on an episode of Tyra Banks' talk show last year when Chingy revealed to Tyra that he had a thing for fine women's feet. Tyra immediately tore off her shoes and plopped her tootsies right down on Chingy's lap -- embarrassing the poor rapper! (It seems that Tyra had neglected to have a recent pedicure.)

Hoping for a second chance with the handsome St. Louis native, Tyra recently invited Chingy back to her show to tape not one but two episodes for November sweeps -- and this time, Tyra made sure to have her toes done! "On the first episode, Tyra tried to kiss Chingy, and he seemed to be taken aback by her forwardness," an audience member tells Star, "But the next day, Tyra teased Chingy, saying, 'I have a fresh pedi!" Chingy immediately rubbed and kissed Tyra's bare feet and then said, "I know I was a little taken back the other day, but now I'm ready for a real kiss!' and the two locked lips! You could see the sparks fly!"( Star )

I'm sorry but...SHE WAS DATING TYLER PERRY? I had NO idea about that! Both of these hook-ups are random to me. Tyra is pulling a Brandy - She'll date anyone!

Well Bow Wow is saying that he's going to come out with a serious record ( lol ) and be "raw and uncut" on it. He is going to come clean about what really happened with him and Ciara as well.

In particular, the junior rhyme-spitter noted a track called "System," on which he admits to having difficulties getting past a relationship with a girl he once dated. Bow was careful never to reveal her name, but a sly smile crossed his face when Ciara was brought up as the likely subject.

"It's one of the most heartfelt records that I've ever done," Bow explained after appearing on "TRL" last week. "It's about a certain relationship I was in, but how I feel about it now. And this [song] is a letter to that person. I'm finally getting the opportunity to get that off my chest. I look at The Price of Fame as a diary. And I'm just welcoming everybody into what's been going on from a year and a half ago until now with me. That song is the one that really speaks, because it's about me getting someone out of my system to make me feel good, but it's hard to do that when you really like someone."

Vh1

Whatever, he probably cheated on her with one of the girls from Cherish or that girl that Teddy Riley married on myspace.

I'm mad they keep giving Diddimyer these hot beats, because he is squandering them. He better thank the heavens he had enough famous friends to turn this album into a Quincy Jones-esque compilation because without Donatella Aguilera on this song it would have been a MESS. But y'all already knew that.



Erin - lmao is this real
Erin - she sounds like brooke hogan!!
J - LOL
Erin - damn
Erin - did timbaland fall asleep on this one?

I actually like the Loose album but this track is always one that gets skipped. I thought "Maneater" was supposed to be the next single? She needs to quit with this mellow Dido shit.

I know, I know, a lot of you out there are like "Who?" Teairra Mari came out in 2005 with the song "Make Her Feel Good" and the self-titled album came out the same year. It was a little messy but overall it was cute and I thought she had potential for growth. Apparently Jay-Z disagrees.

Teairra has been removed from the Roc-a-fella roster, and her official Myspace lists her label type as "indie". Hmmm...

One of her blogs also mentions that she's been dissed in the past by Roc-a-fella, since only "big" artists are allowed to put up new music on their Myspaces which she was barred from doing. Awwww. I just wanna comfort her cute lil' ass.

The thing I'm most mad about is of all these Def Jam-affiliated R&B chicks (including T, Christina Milian and Megan Rochell), Rihanna is the one who is getting the most attention, and she is the least talented. Ugh.

The couple that has been married for 7 years has announced their seperation.

We are saddened to announce that Reese & Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."

Well I saw this one coming a mile away. I mean with him not being B- list and her being A-list, and her having that Oscar just fall in her lap, I guess she figured he was dead weight. People are saying that he felt threatened by her career and that it was just a series of things. I personally think that she saw that magazine spread he did recently and pulled a Nicole Murphy. Ryan was looking like a cupcake in that spread. This is really sad because they were together for so long.

Tyrese - One

This one is really going to have to grow on me. It's no "Lately" but I guess it will do for right now. Tyrese is coming out with a double CD called "Alter Ego" and introduces his rapper ego "Black Ty". One disc will be full of R&B tracks and the other disc will be hip-hop. Don't really know how I feel about this and I'm not going to say anything bad about him rapping yet because I haven't heard any of those tracks. Tyrese use to be a rapper in the group Triple Impact, so maybe he can bring it? We will have to see. Production is going to be done by Scott Storch, Manni Fresh, All Star, and members from Frontline Boyz. Rappers featured on the album will be The Game, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, Kurupt, Method Man, David Banner, Lil Scarppy, and Manni Fresh.

So, since my last post about her, Amerie put out her mess of a mixtape where she mumbled some random phrases about her "struggle" and "haters" (sounds like the comments section on this blog) over some current hip hop beats. The highlight that has music fans buzzing, though, is her alleged diss toward Beyoncé, which I will admit that I picked up on right away. She's implying that Beyoncé took some of her vocal stylings and song types (i.e., working with Rich Harrison) and ran with them, especially for the B'Day album. To be fair, though, Amerie's work with Rich was NOTHING like it is now until after Beyoncé put out "Crazy In Love".

Here are some lyrics to "Because I Love It":

Six months, and y'all done checked my style
Thinkin I was M.I.A., that's wishful thinkin', child
It's obvious to see,
Chickens try to bite it,
But they can't cop my delivery.
My style, my aggression on the track,
When y'all chicks know yall wasn't singing like that, yeah!
...
Go and chase that track.
Pay a hundred stack,
But you can't buy my sound,
Can't take my flow,
Can't bag my swag,
No, *Nooo-ooo-ooo*

*sung like Beyoncé's "Green Light"*

Listen to Amerie getting brolic here.

I don't know where Diano is going but by the look on her face you can tell that she doesn't give a damn what people think about her.

This has been floating around the net, and I don't know if it's true or not, but you be the judge...


I don't know how I feel about this -- it's like Grace Jones-ish. The "feel" of it doesn't jibe with the music she sings, ya know? Maybe if it was a disco-themed gay-club record, then sure!

But for soul R&B, with a dumped-single called "Hood Boy" (Sidenote: we know you changed it up Fannie when people was like, "WTF kinda song is this!?" We love you though), this record cover just doesn't get me happy in the pants ya know?

Fannie, BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

Nicole Richie is taking a break from The Simple Life to seek help in her own life.

The 25-year-old reality TV star is in an undisclosed private facility, her publicist exclusively tells E! News, "to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight."

"She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition," says the rep. "It is important to Nicole that she achieve this goal in a healthy way, [but] this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."

Richie's treatment means work on the new season of The Simple Life, which will find Richie and recently reconciled pal Paris Hilton as camp counselors, is temporarily on hold.

In a joint statement, show producers 20th Century Fox and Bunim/Murray said, "Everyone...supports Nicole and wishes her well. We consider her a part of our family and look forward to resuming production on The Simple Life when she is ready."

(E!)

It's not for an eating disorder, y'all! I mean, what is it for then? Rehab on how to lift food and put it to your mouth? Knowing where to go to find food? In all seriousness, though, I'm happy she is seeking SOME sort of help because she is about one pound away from disintegrating. Get better soon, Nicole.

I guess he is gonna address his "beef" with Cam'ron or whatever, as well as the new album. This gets a big *YAWN* from me but I know there are people out there checking for Fraggle Rock (shoutout to MiamiGreg). For someone who had such great potential he really is throwing it away. Oh, and XXL fell off so hard! They don't even try to be innovative anymore. There was a time when I used to think it was much better than The Source but now all the hip hop magazines are rags. I'm sticking with AllHipHop.

Who is Dominique? Damned if i know. But her PR people are on their grind trying to get this Ceely/Countess Vaughn clone some face time. Normally in interviews, the artist would do us the favor by revealing a bit of theirself or their future plans. But this isn't your normal interview. When you read this, imagine you're walking down your block and you see Ceely here and some random dusty Ride or Die fool having a conversation on a street.

Wassup Dominique. How are you doing?

Dominique: Hey - I'm doing well.

Have you been having a busy schedule lately? (Your English Teacher Lost)

Dominique: Yea. I've been focused on the inside things like going to the studio and personal training; just getting my whole situation together. (like getting off of my baby daddy's couch).

Do you plan to keep incorporating a lot of dance into your routines?

Dominique: No I don't. Actually, you never know what happens when you go to a label, but I would prefer it if I didn't have to dance at all just because I want my audience to be focused on my vocal performance. Not my appearance or dancing ability. (She doesn't want to get winded on stage. You don't see Angie Stone booty clappin' do you?)

What's going on with you in regards to your career?

Dominique: I'm in the studio right now trying to get my own project together to present to labels. I'm focused right now on making sure that what I have to present is quality work.

When did you start singing?

Dominique: I started singing when I was 2. I never pursued a career until Making the Band. My whole life has been dedicated to my education and making it to college. Once I was there my mom made me audition for the show and I made it, and that was it. Once the show was over that's when I decided to pursue my career.

You heard about Making the Band through your mom?

Dominique: Yea (laughter). (Mom was trying to get that money.)

When you went to audition did you think that you would win?

Dominique: I took it one day at a time to be honest with you. In the beginning I was only doing it because my mom asked me to. I had confidence in myself, but I was not expecting to make it past the first stages because over 10,000 girls auditioned. So out of 10,000 you don't necessarily feel like your going to be one of the 20 girls that end up in the House.

What city did you audition?

Dominique: D.C.

Are you a D.C. native?

Dominique: No. I'm a Bronx native.

You're a Bronx native but you auditioned in D.C.?

Dominique: I live in D.C. now but I was born and raised in the Bronx.

(this interviewer needs to get his/her head wrapped around the definition of "native")

Is the industry what you dreamed it would be?

Dominique: No. I don't know if I ever dreamed about what the industry would be like. I never really had anything coming into it that I assumed. I never had any presumptions or anything like that about the industry. It's smaller than I expected and a lot harder to break into.

What was it like working with Diddy and Bad Boy in the studio?

Dominique: The studio was actually my best experience. I had a lot of fun with the producers and the artists he put us in with. That was probably one of the best experiences of the show, being in the studio.

What's the name of your project?

Dominique: I haven't got a name for it yet.

Do you have creative control over your project or are there people from Bad Boy who handle the direction you're going in?

Dominique: Oh no. My affiliation with Bad Boy is really done. After the show they offered me a demo deal and I didn't accept it. After that I decided it didn't make sense. If I wasn't going to take the deal then it didn't make sense to be there. (She narrowly escaped the basement that Dannity Kane, Young Joc, Chopper, The Lox, Loon, Black Rob and all of the other Bad Boy Detainees are chained. Good job Seely.)

Are the songs that you are writing for your album from personal experiences? Are you doing a lot of the songwriting?

Dominique: I am doing a lot of writing. I'm working with some great writers as well. It's definitely a collaborative effort but a lot of it is just my own experiences. I've been through a lot in life but I haven't necessarily been through a lot of bad things. So I think it's going to be a new sound because a lot of people have a lot of heartache to talk about. I don't necessarily feel like I encompass a whole bunch of that. (Wow i didn't know the concept of heartache was new? I guess Keith Sweat was just faking it, right?)

During the show Diddy used to raise questions about your figure. Did that ever discourage you in any way?

Dominique: In the beginning it did because…to be honest with you for my whole life I looked like the rest of the world. But I guess in terms of the industry I have a few more pounds than everybody else. To me it took getting used to because in regular society I'm considered to be regular. I have a few friends that are thick and they call me skinny all day. So it was weird in the beginning to have him say that but I had to really get used to the fact that people in the industry are like 10 times skinnier than the rest of the world. Once I got used to it I tried to slim down but I don't want to be a size zero - you know what I'm saying? It's not where I want to be. If that's going to affect me…then I got to figure that out later. (We'll see you on Psuedo-Celebrity Fit Club on BET, right after BEEF the Series)

Where do you think you're going be in three years? (In a porno)

Dominique: Hopefully, I will have a phenomenal record deal at a label where I'm happy with - at least one album out by then and a huge fan base. Also, in 3 years I really want to be deep into charity, community service and fund-raising. So, if I can get my money up then I can start giving back, and that's really what my goal is. (Lets get real. The only community service she will be handling is keeping Flava Flav's dick occupied long enough to keep him from getting another ho pregnant. Get a grip mothasucka!)

It was nice talking to you. Do you have a date when the album will be out?

Dominique: It's still undecided. I don't even want to make up a date for you. But it was definitely good talking to you. (She hasn't walked into a studio since Making The Band 3)

My advice for anyone else who wants an interview posted, BE ABOUT SH*T! Don't give some vague answers like you're a ten year old on Star Search! Talk about your hustle, come with a demo and keep it moving.

Over at PageSix, the shithead that is Vincent Gallo has been quoted saying that he is dating 16 year old Cory Kennedy. Cory Kennedy is an up and coming fashion icon thanks to the hipster site The Cobra Snake.Vincent said to PageSix,

"With the psychotic, middle-aged Madonna out there on the loose buying up all the stolen Negro babies in Africa, I felt it my social and humanitarian duty to take in any young, beautiful and sexy orphaned Jew teens running wild in Beverly Hills. Cory's a great kid, and I'm proud to be her daddy."

This just kills me because when Joss Stone was dating Beau Dozier ( He was 25, she was 17 ) people were shitty bricks and she got kicked from Gap ads and everything but 16 year old Cory can date 45 year old Vincent. That dude is a fucking tool anyway. I was too through with him when he was on eBay trying to sell his sperm for One Million Dollars and I don't mean Monopoly dollars either! and specifically said "No blacks or red heads."

I'm sure everyone has heard about Shaquille O'Neal's moonlighting gig as a deputy while he's not on the court in Miami. Well, if you didn't think it sounded like a bad idea when you first heard it, here's some more evidence for you.

In a botched child pornography raid in Bedford County, VA, Shaq and his cohorts with the Blue Ridge Thunder Unit reportedly kicked down the door of the wrong house and held the family inside at gunpoint and "taunted" them while they confiscated their computers.

Though it was later discovered the IP address used was incorrect, Shaq denied that he had been involved, saying simply "it wasn't me" even after the sheriff's office confirmed the story. Sure, it was that other 7'1" 325 lb. black dude.

This is almost as bad as when Jay-Z admitted to selling drugs to his mother.

Amerie's third album Because I Love It (?! yeah, I dunno either) is set to drop January 2007. A few tracks have leaked off this album, and what I like about Amerie is even though she doesn't have the best voice, she tries new stuff. That song "Some Like It" (Edit: snippet here) that leaked a few months ago straight up sounds like a Maybelline commercial - and I like it (no pun intended)! Anyway, this is the latest:

"That's What U Are" - Amerie

powered by ODEO
Edit: Odeo is acting up, so you can listen to the song here, as well.

I like this, but it could be better - also keep in mind it's an unfinished version. Some more info on the album: Amerie will be collaborating with Rich Harrison as usual, as well as Cee-Lo and The Buchanans, who produced some stuff for Jay-Z during the Black Album era.

Well the people over at Vibe Confidential are saying that a reliable female source tells them that Cheri tried to pick her up at two music industry events. I can see this being true because since she's gay Diddy can't fuck her and this is why most of you have never heard of her. Apparently she goes to a lot of gay clubs and lives the life openly. I can't hate on that! At least she's sort out there with it, unlike Usher, Missy, Mario, etc.

Prosecutors are considering charges against Snoop Dogg after authorities discovered a 21-inch collapsible baton in his bags as he boarded a New York-bound flight, authorities said Monday.

The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, had the baton in his laptop case as he went through a security checkpoint at John Wayne International Airport on Sept. 27, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.

Snoop Dogg, 35, told sheriff’s deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he was filming in New York, Amormino said.

“He had a collapsible baton and it is classified as a dangerous weapon,” Amormino said, adding that the stick collapsed to eight inches.

District attorney spokeswoman Susan Kang Schroeder said her office received the sheriff’s report on Monday. She said prosecutors had not yet decided whether to charge Snoop Dogg, who was not arrested.

It wasn’t the first time the rapper has had a problem at an airport.

In May, he accepted responsibility for using “threatening words or behavior” in an April brawl at Heathrow Airport in London. Snoop Dogg and five other men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl after some members of the rapper’s party were denied entry to British Airways’ first-class lounge.

Seven officers received minor injuries — mainly cuts and bruises — and one suffered a fracture to the hand.

British Airways has banned Snoop Dogg from future travel on the airline, it said last month.

Snoop Dogg was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and was charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. Facing a possible three years in prison, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years’ probation and his promise to make anti-violence public service announcements.

He also was acquitted of murder in 1996 following the death of an alleged street gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle Snoop Dogg was traveling in.

(MSNBC)

Well, I'm sure this is just another case of "pre-album release promo", and at least he had the sense not to shoot himself like Fabolous did. But the thing I really love about these stories is how they have to bring up all this old shit. "Snoop Dogg was arrested in 1988 for public urination. Oh, and one time he almost hit a cat in the road in 1984."

KEVIN FEDERLINE will make his Hollywood debut in an upcoming hip-hop movie directed by rapper STICKY FINGAZ. Federline, the husband of pop superstar BRITNEY SPEARS, will star in musical CAUGHT ON TAPE. Fingaz, who stars in the TV series spin-off of the BLADE franchise, says, "This is a hardcore musical - lots of violence, sex, action, drama, plus sentiment and romance as well. "It's Kev Fed's (movie) acting debut. He's really cool."

The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently.

Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama “Equus” and will perform nude during one scene, according Newsweek magazine in editions that will hit newsstands Monday.

“Part of me wants to shake up people’s perception of me, just shove me in a blender,” he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.”

Ugh! Now that is just foul. Can't we get Christina Milian to do a role like this? I know she needs the money. I'll even take the girl in the Harry Potter movies. Wait, she's legal, right?



The year wouldn't be complete if Paris Hilton didn't have something hacked. The heiress' Myspace friends are getting hit with a scam intended to put them on spam lists.

Someone should e-mail this one to Kim Porter with the words "WAKE UP!" in the header. C'mon now. On the C&D comments page someone said that they heard through the grapevine that Cassie is tired of being Diddy's side pieces and is about to come out with the dirt.

So, as predicted, Janet Jackson's latest album has flopped due to lack of MTV/radio play.

But now, Janet's man Jermaine Dupri is ready to step down from his position as head of the urban department of Virgin Records, Janet's home, because of their purported lack of support behind the project.

To be honest, I really don't think this album is very good to begin with and probably would have flopped regardless. But JD is trying to be the "good boyfriend" and all that shit which is cute, but if I was Janet I think this would just make me more embarassed. Apparently JD is wanting to tack a Janet duet with his famous friend Mariah Carey on to a special re-release of 20 Years Old to help up the sales. I personally don't really wanna hear Mariah blowing Janet out of the water vocally so I think this is a bad idea but to each his/her own.

(SOHH)

There was a lot of buzz over this diss track on the AllHipHop boards but I kept thinking to myself "Nah. I'll pass." but when I saw the above album art I just about FELL OUT and started caring for some reason. The art and the "Watch this homothug turn into a hardcore rapper overnight!" are pretty dead on, specially after I saw this.

"You ain't got no tears,nigga. You got buttaflies you tryin' to cover up with L.A. tats."

"Look at this black tickle-me Elmo."

WOW.

It's pretty crazy that all of this "The Game is gay!" stuff is going down right after I realized that he seems a little on the festive side.

Nick Cannon. Why is this dude famous? Why are we seeing him all over the place still? I'm made that this dude is even C-list. He also get's a "Booooo!" for cheating on Christina Milian with Rihanna. ( and probably Mario )

Does Nick Cannon even have fans?

I was too through with him when he said "I'm only going to date white girls now." Like any other race of women are out of style. Like "I'm going to start wearing plaid now." What the hell?

Seeing this dude everywhere just blows my mind!

Look at for these awards every Friday. If you have someone that you think should get one, E-mail us at ahotmessblog@gmail.com

Well, Mariah Carey is at it again, once more doing something outrageous and making it nearly impossible for those who may like her (I know, what's wrong with me) to defend her actions. This time she decided to make her fans in Anaheim, California wait two hours between her opener Chingy's set and her own. When she finally graced the stage, her precious lambs had turned to wolves, booing Mariah into a tizzy that sent her off-stage to make the fans wait once again.

Damn, Mariah hates her fans for real! Not only did she make them sit through Chingy, she made them wait like they were Chris Rock's mama at Cracker Barrel. Maybe she was testing her 24 karat gold bronzer? Stupid fans.

"Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight told PEOPLE exclusively that he is gay. But was this coming out of his own free will, or as a result of the much-hyped fight between "Grey's" stars Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey?

PEOPLE released a statement from Knight today that said, "While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

But the National Enquirer may have tipped us off to the story when they reported that during the fight between Washington and Dempsey, Washington yelled, "I'm not your little faggot like (name deleted)."

The Enquirer said they withheld the name of the co-star Washington mentioned "because of the extreme nature of the slur."

Does Knight's disclosure confirm the Enquirer's story?

Calls to Washington's reps were not immediately returned.

( TMZ )


Well now people are saying that Isaiah Washington is going to be fired for his remarks. Do you think he should be fired?

So much drama on the Grey's Anatomy set.

Well it looks like people are getting crunk over Diddy's new album Press Play

"PRESS PLAY," Diddy's first solo project in five years, has been garnering widespread critical acclaim. The collection, which arrived in stores this week, finds the Bad Boy founder and recording artist joined in the studio by a hand-picked cast of modern artists and groundbreaking producers. The result is a cutting-edge collection that brings together a captivating range of sounds and voices in an album defined by depth and diversity.

In its 4-star rave review, the New York Post proclaims, "Musically, there isn't a dud on the 19-track disc... The CD takes wild and welcome swings between Diddy's raps, vocals by an all-star roster of R&B and pop singers, and innovative beats designed by an equally elite squad of producers." The review goes on to call "PRESS PLAY" "an exciting listen" marked by "diversity and innovation."

Entertainment Weekly hails "PRESS PLAY" as "the year's best-produced album," while the Washington Post calls it "perhaps Diddy's best since his 1997 debut... Everything on this album is big. Big fanfares, big drums, big sounds... the ideas are bigger... His acute ear and rich sonic vocabulary serve him well throughout 'Press Play.'" Newsday predicts that "PRESS PLAY" will "spawn hit singles deep into next year," and AOL Music raves that the album is "the most danceable hip-hop record in years! With Diddy's classic and unique sound, 'Press Play' will be an undeniable force on today's music scene."

Allhiphop.com also awarded "PRESS PLAY" four stars, noting that "The album solidifies the return of Bad Boy Entertainment and represents a new age for the hip-hop mogul." VIBE magazine Editor-In-Chief Danyel Smith comments, "With 'Press Play,' Sean Combs continues to take risks and to innovate. But most importantly, Diddy makes us tilt our heads towards the speakers and dance, dance, dance." Billboard Executive Editor/Associate Publisher Tamara Conniff says, "Diddy has once again defined a genre. This is hip-hop soul."

Has anybody heard it? thoughts?

Justin Timberlake is not only bringing sexy back, he's bringing sexy girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, along with it. Or so I hear. Diaz has told friends that she may be hitting the road with JT for his upcoming North American tour.
Timberlake announced yesterday that his upcoming FutureSex/LoveSounds tour kicks off Jan. 8 in San Diego and finishes off on Mar. 29 in New Jersey. And from what I can tell, Ms. Diaz has nothing lined up on her calendar right now.

(E!)
Great. Just great. As if it wasn't hard enough already for all of us to try and imagine someone else when Justin sings those love songs, this bored bitch had to decide she wants to play superstar singer. Don't you have a shitty chick flick to film? A Charlie's Angels sequel? An appearance on Batman: The Animated Series?

This couple is just not working for me. They still look stank together, even after all these years.

O.J. Simpson is confessing. Hypothetically, that is.

The former football great, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to a detailed report in the new National Enquirer.

But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder — rather, he’s writing a “hypothetical” book — which the Enquirer reports is tentatively being called “If I Did It.”

The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are “hypothetical.” But, notes the tab, the descriptions are “so detailed and so chillingly realistic” that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.

Simpson can never be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws, according to the Enquirer, which also claims that Simpson aims to keep any book money instead of paying it out in a civil suit judgment against him by spending it all quickly. ( MSNBC )

Uhh. What the hell? I think this will give R.Kelly an idea and he will come out with a DVD called "I can't believe you people are letting me get away with pissing on a 14 year old girl but since she was a black female I guess no one cared that much." The 14 year old girl will be played by Hoopz.

O.J. is dead wrong for that. I bet his children are going to love this!

Lately, Diddy has been trying to make us believe that he actually loves Kim Porter and plans on marrying her and shit. Yeah right! Check out this quote I scooped up from C&D

Diddy has confessed to being obsessed with group sex in champagne-filled baths when he was a bachelor.

The rapper, whose long-term girlfriend Kim Porter is pregnant with twin girls, indulged in all his most wild fantasies when he was single, and admits his fetish for food-based sex and multiple partners spiralled out of control.

He said in an interview with Vibe magazine: "I'm nasty. In the mid-'90s I was buck-f***ing wild - beyond menage a trois. It's crazy, you're twenty-something and renting the presidential suite at the Hotel Nikko in Beverly Hills. You got the bathtub filled with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Then sex became dangerous."

Diddy, real name Sean Combs, insists he has now turned his back on his wild ways and it is now love of his life Kim who is reaping the benefits of his earlier sexual experiences.

He added: "All that energy you were spreading becomes a one-on-one thing. My girl right now is very happy. As meticulous as I am with my work, I'm even more meticulous with my lovemaking. I like to do it for a long time. Sometimes I'm making love and she's like, 'You gonna save some for the honeymoon?'"

LOL! Sex with who Sean? Faith Evans? Keisha from Total? Raphael Saadiq? I already know Superhead was there so I don't even need to ask. I just read on another blog that he likes thumb-in-butt actions ( says Superhead ). He needs to quit! I can't believe Kim Porter is just letting him say all of this. They deserve each other. I can't wait for the tell all book the twin girls are going to come out with.

Ice-T and his Anna Nicole Smith-lite wife Coco are set to appear nude on the cover of Ice's new album Gangsta Rap, due in stores Halloween.

Apparently, Coco's behind will be in full view with one of her legs covering Ice-T's junk.

American music stores are threatening to boycott unless the cover is changed, to which Ice-T reportedly responded: "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years. You should see the picture when Coco's leg is not there."

Now I wasn't able to obtain a picture of this cover (thank God), but my question is what's the point? I think we've all seen Coco's goodies on one or more of the numerous occasions she's worn fishnet, well, everything while following her husband around on various red carpets. And maybe I'm wrong here, but I think I'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wants to see Ice-T nude. Richard Belzer, maybe. But Ice-T? No, no.

Throwback of the Day: "Swing My Way" by KP & Envyi (1998)

This video is hilarious. I don't really know what's going on, especially with the dancing. It looks like one of those commercials that comes on after midnight for "LiveLinks". The singer Envyi looks like Brittany Murphy with a short 'do. I know y'all remember when Miami Bass songs like this were HUGE. I bought a mixtape called Phat Jamz (lmao!) in fifth grade that had a bonus disc with all bass remixes.

Heather Mills claims that her estranged husband, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, physically and verbally assaulted her in an exclusive interview with an English tabloid.

The charges are just the latest salvo in Mills' bitter divorce from the ex-Beatle. In her Daily Mail interview, Mills claims McCartney:

- Abused her on four seperate occasions, allegedly stabbing her with a broken wine bottle during one of the attacks.
- Is an alcoholic and a heavy drug user who refused to stop abusing substances despite promising to do so before the couple were married.
- Tried to stop her from breastfeeding their daughter Beatrice, telling her "they are my breasts."
- Forced her to cancel surgery because it interfered with his vacation plans.

McCartney is expected to release a statement disputing the allegations on Wednesday.

Damn, this is rough. He didn't wanna share Heather's tatas with his own daughter?

Charleston, SC (AHN) - Rose Rock, the comedian Chris Rock's mother, said Tuesday she is planning to sue the restaurant chain Cracker Barrel for racial discrimination. Rock said she and her daughter were seated for more than half an hour at a Cracker Barrel in Murrells Inlet, SC, before she called over the manager and asked him about the delay.

Rock says she and her 21-year-old daughter, the only blacks in the restaurant, were completely ignored by staff. When she complained to the manager she says he offered to give them a free meal.

Rock tells the AP, "He never called over the waitress and asked, 'Why did these people sit here for an hour without service?' The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."

Cracker Barrel has faced multiple lawsuits and a federal inquiry in the past. The restaurant chain has been accused of refusing to serve black customers, discriminating against minority workers and firing gay employees.

Cracker Barrel spokeswoman Julie Davis says the company does not "tolerate any form of discrimination."
Davis says, "It has always been a violation of our policies and procedures and it is neither condoned nor allowed. We do not allow the type of behavior you are describing."

The Rev. Al Sharpton's Action Network is financing the planned suit.
He says, "I'm getting reports from all over the country about Cracker Barrel."

Rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him hospitalized and under arrest, police said.

The rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, was shot once in the thigh when a male with a gun approached him and three others and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. It happened after Jackson left Justin's Restaurant at 31 West 21st Street in the Flatiron District. The restaurant is owned by record producer and rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.

The foursome jumped into a vehicle and fled, running red lights and attracting the attention of police. Officers stopped them and discovered two guns in the vehicle, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending. Sources told CBS 2 it's believed the vehicle was headed to Bellevue Hospital.

Jackson, who lives in Brooklyn, was taken to Bellevue where he was reported in stable condition. Police were searching for the gunman.

An e-mail seeking comment from a representative at Def Jam Recordings was not immediately returned early Tuesday. The label is producing the rapper's upcoming solo album, due out in December, according to Fabolous' Web page on MySpace.com.

His hits have included, "Breathe" and "Can't Deny It," and his songs cover topics ranging from romance to street life and violence. He most recently took part in the taping of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, which were to air Tuesday evening.

Mike Tyson promised an entertaining show Friday night when he launches the "Mike Tyson's World Tour" in Youngstown, and that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women, possibly professional boxer Ann Wolfe.

Wolfe, from Waco, Texas, is 21-1 with 15 knockouts.

"She's such a prominent, dominant woman in the boxing field," Tyson said.

When asked if he was joking about fighting women, Tyson said, "I'm very serious."

Russ Young, a promoter for Wolfe, said such a bout will never happen.

"That's the first we've heard of it," Young said. "No state would sanction that. She would be outweighed by 60 to 70 pounds (27-32 kilos). Ann would never entertain the idea."

(Fox Sports)

This is the type of story for which A Hot Mess was created. I guess at this point we shouldn't be surprised by anything Mike Tyson said, but wow. Just wow.

It's cool. I'm not going over the moon for it. It sounds like a Quiet Storm type track. I'm gonna need a little bit more than this before I throw my support behind Brandy again, though. She lost me with that Full Moon album and hasn't been able to quite gain my full attention back.

It's like the babysitter just didn't come through that day so she decided to bring him at the last minute. It looks like she got a few packs of those "3 for a dollar" hair scarves from You and I Beauty Supply and made a dress out of it. Ugh, you can do better Vanessa.

Tiffany "New York" Patterson, who reached both final rounds of Flavor Of Love and was eliminated in both seasons, may have the last laugh now that she has her own show set to air on VH1 next year, Flavorette.

"These guys are so dramatic," says Patterson. "They're worse than the women who were on season one and season two [of "Flavor of Love"]. This show is so chaotic, it's overboard, it's over-the-top, it's extreme and these guys know they're fighting for a wonderful woman so they've been at each other's throats and I'm flattered by it. I can't complain."

I know Flav is sweating. He thought he solidified his comeback and now this chick is upstaging him. Your second 15 minutes is almost up, Flav, and just shy of your 80th birthday too, shucks.

Omarosa, this means you've got to go. There's only room for one of you guys in this industry and New York is much more entertaining.

Did Lindsay Lohan's late-night shenanigans get in the way of her upcoming drama Georgia Rule? Not really, says director Garry Marshall. Despite all the negative press she received this summer while shooting the film, Marshall says the young starlet never let him down. "I think Lindsay's going to shock everybody, because she's so good," he tells me exclusively. "She's already an icon at 20." Lohan took a public beating in July after I broke the news that she missed a day of shooting Georgia because she claimed she was hospitalized with heat exhaustion. At the time, a scathing letter from Morgan Creek CEO James G. Robinson to Lohan was leaked to the press. The producer slammed the actress for using "bogus excuses" to cover up her "all-night partying."

In the flick, Lohan plays an unruly teenager whose mother (Felicity Huffman) sends her to live with her grandmother (Jane Fonda) for the summer. "Yeah, Lindsay may be running all around town," says Marshall, "but when she comes to me, she acts." Hey, L.L., stick with Marshall. Remember, he's the guy who directed Julia Roberts back in her breakout role in Pretty Woman.

(E!)

Listen, I'm no Lindsay Lohan fan (though I am sickly captivated by her) but I was sick of everyone jumping on the bandwagon just because the girl likes to have a little dranky drank every once in awhile. From what I've seen of her recent roles (Prairie House Companion) she really is a pretty good actress. I'm not mad at you LiLo, even if you are on coke and pay paparazzi to stalk you!

Now people are saying that Mel B and Eddie Murphy are expecting a child. I have no words for this!!


MEL B's romance with Eddie Murphy took another twist yesterday when sources close to the couple claimed she was pregnant.

Pals of showbiz's odd couple said the baby was conceived almost as soon as their relationship began and the former Spice Girl is four months gone.

The couple are said to be delighted with the news and Mel "hasn't stopped grinning" since she found out.

She returned to Leeds last week to see her family and appeared to have a slight bump.

She is now back in Los Angeles amid rumours she is set to have the comedian's baby.

An LA source said yesterday: "People have heard she is about four months pregnant, which is about as long as their relationship has been going on.

"They seem delighted and Mel hasn't stopped grinning.


"The relationship is very strong. There is no ring on her finger yet but no one would be surprised if they got married without too much notice."


It will be Eddie's sixth child while Mel has a daughter, Phoenix Chi, seven, from her marriage to Jimmy Gulzar.


Mel, 31, and Jimmy divorced in 2001, while Eddie's wife Nicole Murphy divorced him earlier this year.


Eddie, 45, and Mel were introduced at a party in Beverly Hills.

Thandie Newton was amazed when she learned Angelina Jolie is to play a black woman in her latest film.

The stunning actress couldn't hide her surprise when she was shown a picture of Angelina as murdered journalist Daniel Pearl's mixed-race wife in the new movie about his life and death.

Thandie told me: "God I'm shocked. She's been blacked up to play a black women.

"I have to say it's surprising, very surprising."

Although the Crash star did confess she was a little jealous that the role in A Mighty Heart hadn't gone to her, she refused to criticise Angelina.

Talking at the Screen Nation Awards on Tuesday night, she added: "It's an absolutely fantastic role, I would loved to have played it.

"But I'm not going to criticise or judge her until I've seen the film, that would be wrong of me."

In the movie, Angelina pairs up with real life boyfriend Brad Pitt again, who is producing the film.

The couple also donated £54,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation on Tuesday - which would have been the late writer's birthday.

(The Sun)

I've been preaching everywhere that Thandie would have been perfect for this role. I mean, look at that picture of Angelina. They really did darken her skin. Angelina is a great actress and all but come on. This is worse than when they expected us to believe Ashley Judd was Mexican in Frida.

Michael Jackson and Ex-wife Debbie Rowe's battle is over because now he is paying her a reported $750,000 a year in alimony payments.

Three years after Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe filed for visitation rights and custody of the couple’s kids, Prince Michael, 9, and Paris, 8 – something she voluntarily gave up in 2001 – the battle is over. (Jackson has a third child, Prince Michael II, 4, whose mother has never been identified.)

A source close to Jackson – who has been living in Bahrain since 2005 – tells Us that Rowe has given up all visitation rights in exchange for reinstated alimony payments of about $750,000 a year. “It was hard for Debbie, but she’s broke,” explains the insider.

This just makes me so mad because this is what she wanted from the get go! She set up him. What mother just hands over the kids to their husband and says "i'm just going to visit them once a month or so." This is crazy! Michael can't get a break!
Was that marriage even real?! People are all over Michael Jackson's case, but where's that R. Kelly trial?

If you were planning to head to Broadway to support Usher for his "Chicago" performance, you might want to hold out on that because he has come down with influenza. Usher plays Billy Flynn in the award winning musical and many fans lined up to see him each night but when they found out his understudy would be taking his place they threw a fit and asked for refunds. Usher will be on bedrest for the rest of the week. He was suppose to perform through October 1st but it has been extended to October 14th, his birthday. Chicago has been sold out for weeks and Usher is the highest paid actor to play Billy Flynn in history.

Keisha Knight Pulliam


Nick Cannon and Arch Bishop Magic Don Juan


Cool V and Biz Markie


Kenan Thompson, Nick Cannon, and Joy Bryant. Am I the only person that thinks Joy Bryant is really, really boring? She's like the black Gwyneth Paltrow.


Angie Conwell. I can just hear people saying "who?!?!" you know, the girl that played Omar Goodings girlfriend in Baby Boy! They are actually together in real life.


Nas


Lisa Raye


Rohan Marley


There's something about Chamillionaire.


Megan Goode is pulling what I like to call a "Golden Brookes" because there is something so off about her in this picture but I can't put my finger on it.


Kanye was sad because John Legend wasn't invited.


and who had the worst outfits? I'm going to have to go with...

Joy Bryant's outfit was alright until you look at those hideous things on her feet. Does she not have friends? Who let this happen?


I'll leave this one to you guys.

Because: a) I can't sleep and b) I'm in a giving mood, here is John Legend's new album.

SS

I'll have thoughts on this later, including the fact that I did not even know this album was coming out so soon? Guess Kanye's fake relationship really is taking a toll on both John's personal AND professional endeavors.

Well they are saying that Janet and Jermaine are looking at an apartment in New York City that costs $30 million dollars. She is looking around in Manhattan's Columbus Circle. This is pretty cool to me because i'd rather live in an apartment in NYC than in a huge mansion in Beverly Hills. Maybe that's just me. If she does by the apartment then she will break a record by paying for the most expensive apartment in all of the city. Ever.

Another random thing is that she also recently confirmed to dating Matthew McConaughey back in the day. Again, enough with the beards!

A lot of people think they Jermaine and Janet are already married and this wouldn't suprise me at all because she is a very private person when it comes to her relationships ( well, until recently ) and she was married to Rene Elizondo for years.

This is really just sad. I know Pac is rolling in his grave right now.

Yet another collection of unused/reused 2pac rhymes copied and pasted with corny artists over new beats is coming out soon (don't ask me when, because I don't know and I refuse to find out). The lead-off single was recently played on LA's Power 106 and it features Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Yes, those Bone Thugs. I mean, damn. Why not throw on Tag Team while we're at it? Mellow Man Ace? Robyn?

Popstar and America's Got Talent judge Brandy, 27, has fallen for Project Runway finalist Michael Knight, 28! The two hit it off after being introduced by an industry acquaintance while L.A. based Brandy was Atlanta promoting her show, says sources.

"He's the perfect gentleman and has really won her affection," says a source close to the singer. They're so smitten with each other that they're racking up frequent flyer miles. She even showed her support by sitting front row at Michael's show during New York Fashion week. How sweet!

( StarMag )

Okay this is right on time because John and I were just talking about how much of a mess Brandy is. I would have never, ever saw this coming! Brandy is going to have a weird year. From people finding out she's a scientologist to being on her little brothers label. ( LOL ). Watch out because we are going to see Michael designing clothes for Katie Holmes in the near future. Also, Katie, Star Jones, and Mary J. Blidge can welcome Brandy to the wonderful world of bearding!

Jenniefer Lopez yells at a flight attendant

...for not making her coffee.

The Latin diva is said to have flown into a rage after she asked for a double espresso and was told that they couldn't make her one.

J.Lo, famed for her outrageous demands, took out her frustration on the stunned stewardess, hurling a torrent of hurtful insults at her.

The unnamed hostess is quoted on website AirlineCrew.net as saying: "She yelled at me because I could not make her a double espresso and then she told me my shoes looked cheap."

Lopez has also been added to an online blacklist called the "S****y Tipper Database" after she left a tip of just $1.27 on $350 restaurant bill in New York.

( Celebrity Wonder )

I believe it, too! I'm sure she had to pick up some bad habits from Diddy. This really makes me mad because just yesterday we saw her getting her start on In Livin' Color. Hell, the dancers would barely let her get in the front and now she thinks she can yell at people.
Continue Reading...

According to Yahoo UK News, Diddy is about to "shock" the world by admitting he didn't really write his first 3 albums.

Wow, this is about as unexpected as Lance Bass coming out the closet, Britney Spears getting a divorce, Brad and Angelina adopting another foreign spawn, ummm, the list goes on.

Diddy: 'I didn't write my earlier albums'

Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to shock the music industry after admitting he didn't write most of his past albums.

Despite having worked with hip-hop and R+B biggest stars as a producer, such as Mary J Blige, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey and TLC, Combs admits he sought help when creating his solo discs No Way Out, Forever and The Saga Continues.

However, that all changed this year when Combs wrote his long-awaited disc Press Play.

He explains, "On a lot of the other records, to be honest, I didn't do a whole lot of writing. On this one, I did a lot."

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/10102006/364/diddy-didn-t-write-earlier-albums.html

Wow, I mean really, we all knew this. I had a feeling though he might have actually started writing his OWN drivel, why, with lines like this from his new single, "Come To Me":

"It's doubt with the stallion, somethin' Italian / Or maybe Puerto Rican, you can catch me in Paris"

or

"You can't fall 'til my aura called / I make miracles like I walk on water"

And my favorite:

"I got to blow, gotta to spin / Lies before, cool as the wind"

OK, so seriously, really, WTF is he saying? I am so lost right now.

I rest my case!

Have you heard his verses on the Danity Kane remix?! I won't even go there, I will leave Diddy with some of his dignity.

R. Kelly is in more legal trouble. Henry Love, a man who alleges he is a former mentor and friend and was once known as "uncle" to Arra, is accusing R. and his goons of roughing him up in the singer's basement.

In addition, Love says he came up with the idea for "Step In The Name Of Love", which means I should start throwing rocks through HIS window instead of R. Kelly's.

On the other hand, maybe he'll get some jail time for this since no one seems to care about--well, you know, that other thing.

(E!)

Good morning everyone! It's been a slow gossip weekend so hopefully this week will be a lot better.

There has been a lot of buzz about Jay-Z's album and about the song that leaked called "Show Me What You Got" ( If you haven't heard it click here). It was leaked on the internet and made it's way into radiostations and has been in heavy rotation. DJ Greg Street from Atlanta says that he even played the song 6 times in a row on his show V103 but Jay-Z people are not taking this thing very lightly.

"It was so crazy [Island/Def Jam Music Group CEO] LA Reid & [Def Jam A&R] Shakir Stewart called into V-103's hotline," Street said.

While millions of fans are not complaining about today's (Oct. 6) leak of Jay-Z's single "Show Me What You Got" his label, Def Jam is taking the breach seriously and may pursue legal action against the individual responsible for the leak.

While no one knows who the culprit behind the leak is, sources told AllHipHop.com that Def Jam has launched an internal investigation, fearing that the rapper's forthcoming comeback album Kingdom Come may be leaked in its entirety.

"The FBI may do an investigation into this," an anonymous source told AllHipHop.com. "Everything has been under lock and key, so we have no idea how the single was leaked."

"Show Me," which samples a saxophone loop originally used on Public Enemy's "Show Em Whatcha Got" from the group's 1988 Def Jam album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, hit the Internet today and quickly went into rotation on radio stations around the United States.

The single, which was produced by Just Blaze, gained immediate and repeated airplay on stations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

( AllHipHop )

Jay-Z's Kingdom Come is suppose to hit stores Nov. 21 but I have a strong feeling that they are going to push this one back. I think they should because this "single" is really weak and I think that even Jay-Z can do better than this. How many Beyonce duets do you think are gonna be on there? I'm going to go with two songs and her talking on an interlude.

It's the most anticipated acting debut since Mariah Carey did Glitter. Kevin Federline plays Cole Tritt, described as an "arrogant teenager who harasses Nick (George Eads) and Warrick (Gary Dourdan) at a crime scene" in an episode titled "Fannysmackin'." Sometimes these jokes just write themselves, don't they?

Watch K. Fed get served by CSI's George Eads.

The episode airs Thursday, October 12 at 9 pm on CBS.

Thanks to CBS for these on-set photos.

NEW YORK -- Keisha Castle-Hughes is growing up fast. The 16-year-old actress, who was nominated for a best-actress Oscar for her role in 2002's "Whale Rider," is expecting a baby in the spring, the agency that represents her confirmed Friday.

The father is her boyfriend of three years, Bradley Hull, 19.

Castle-Hughes, who was born in Australia, played the Queen of Naboo in last year's "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith." She will be seen next as Mary in "The Nativity Story," set for release Dec. 1.

I really don't know what to say about this. In Hollywood when teenagers get knocked up it's not a big deal. They just take fake wedding photos and even though everyone can hear that shotgun firing, it's like "Oh, OK." I dunno if she is gonna do this too but what I do know is when this happens in a Latino family like mine you're sent to live with your weird old uncle and gay cousin. Or was that the plot of Quinceañera?

Thanks to Janea for the tip!

Here is a sneak peek the full version of Beyoncé's third video off B'Day, "Irreplaceable."



I kinda wish she would have been a little more Bernie from Waiting To Exhale in this clip, but ah well.

Just when we thought Avril Lavigne was done being an annoying douchebag who makes shitty music, it appears she's reclaimed her douchebag status, at least. Remember those wedding photos of her and that guy from Sum 41? I thought that was the last we'd see of her. But no, she's back to her old "punk" tricks, like signing autographs with "Fuck You" and spitting on people.

I guess we only have ourselves to blame for still paying attention to her. I mean, when was the last time she had an album? A soundtrack cut? A cameo on The Surreal Life? Let's get it together, people.



Chris Brown: "Bow Wow, you're the man!"
Bow Wow: "No, Chris, you're the man!"

It's nice to see Bow Wow was able to put Chris Brown murdering his ass on the basketball court behind him in order to do a track together. Is this the 2006 version of The Coreys? God, I hope not.

John's "Check This S#!t Out" List

1. The Evolution of Robin Thicke by Robin Thicke. This is the album Justin Timberlake wishes he made. It's got that '70s feel - real soulful and sexy. Guests include Faith Evans, Lil' Wayne and Pharrell. It's that heat! Oh, and for those of you who don't know, YES, he is Alan Thicke's son, aka Papa Seaver.

2. "Raw" Monica featuring Swizz Beatz. The song that should have been the first single off this album. I'm not mad at the piano or the way Monica is riding this.

3. MTV's Little Talent Show. I know what you're thinking, but before you say anything, please tune in, it's on every weekday at 6. MTV actually got it right this time. This is mindless television that you don't have to be embarassed to watch. If nothing else, the judges (who include Making The Band 3's Laurie Ann Gibson, American Idol rejects Kimberley Locke and Constantine Maroulis, among others) make the show with their hilarious facial expressions.

Well it seems as though Zoe Kravitz really does like to party. I can't really hate on her and call her a bad person because she's old enough to make her own decisions. I just know everyone is going to be like "Damn! She's just like her mamma!" All I have to say about that is that she really does look like Momma Moon. I mean if I were rich and beautiful i'd probably do the same shit she was doing.






aaaaand i'm sure she'll be modeling in a few years, or is she already doing that? Keep an eye open for those sex tapes and posts about her being pulled over with blow in her purse in the next few years!

So word on the street is Kelis and Nas are filming a reality show. Now I can hear that collective sigh ringing in my ears right now, but this could actually be interesting. Maybe. We might get a glimpse at their infamous sex house. Or we might just get a bunch of evidence for divorce court, which is usually the case with these type of reality shows.

Lil' Wayne is having the best week ever! By now I'm sure everyone's heard that Weezy and Wanna-Beyoncé are the next, um, "super couple" of hip-hop, but did you also know that Wayne is going to be the first rapper to rock Kobe's new #24 jersey?

"When Kobe heard about [an upcoming L.A. concert date], he reached out to me ’cause he’s a fan of my music and I’m a fan of his skills on the court…He said he wanted me to be the first to represent his new jersey, number 24, and I was with it!"

(Slam)

Well, damn! First he escaped Trina's cheap scent for a girl with much more (family) money and now he's rockin' Kobe's jersey. Can life get any better?



I'm gonna have to go off for a second and talk about this abomination MTV calls "MTV Trés", or excuse me, "Tr3s". I'm especially having a problem with the catch phrase "One + Uno = Trés." As if the conservatives don't have enough issues with Latinos, now they're gonna think we can't do simple arithmetic.

But seriously, do we really need "Mi TRL", "Sucker Free Trés" and "Los Hits" (I swear I'm not making these titles up)? For the "kick-off" they had Nelly Furtado do her Spanish songs, and four Latin VJs (including Susie, who looks like she was told she was Latina, much to her shock, four minutes before the launch) interviewing people like Zoe Saldaña. It's kind of sad, actually. They should have just been like "We found as many people in the business with Hispanic-sounding last names as we could for this kick-off. Here is Mary Ortiz, a makeup artist to Demi Moore on the set of Striptease."



Monica's new album comes out tomorrow and I'm gonna shamelessly plug it because I've heard it and it's quite good. I've always loved her for her voice, but I loved her even more when she recently said she was gonna drive to New York to fight Ms. Jones for making some nasty comments about her. The reason for driving? "I can't take what I need on the plane." Now that's gangsta!
