Foxy Brown talks being saved and Posing for Playboy!!


Rapper Foxy Brown who is known for her raw lyrics and bad girl ways sat down with NY Post for a cute photo shoot and interview and spoke about she was never caught “mooning” her neighbors and how she has found Jesus and is saved ... BUT is considering the $2 million offer to pose for playboy …. But you saved tho .. ok girl (-_-)  View Full article here

Foxy speaks about being saved and going to church:
“The Foxy character and Inga Marchand are two different people,” she continues. “My fiancé calls me Inga. No one around me calls me Foxy. I go to church every Sunday. I go to Bible study every Friday night. I’m saved.”
Her take on her and Jay Z’s relationship:
"Jay and I are each other's history," she says. "We discovered each other, basically. Our first record together was what blew both of us up. We became Bonnie and Clyde."
Foxy talks about being a Diva in Jail:
“You'd have thought Obama was in the building when I walked in: The girls loved me," she says. "The officers were jealous because I was getting hundreds of thousands of letters a week." She even shot a photo spread for a hip-hop magazine while in jail."
On loosing her Hearing while in prison:
"I lost one of my senses, and that's the hardest thing I went through," she says. "It's a miracle I got it back. I can hear running water again. I can hear my mother say, 'I love you.' I'm on an assignment from God."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony File for DIVORCE!!

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced Friday that hey have decided to end their marriage after seven years.  The couple released a statement stating, 
"We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters."
So are you shocked?? Umm well I’m not! Cuz these two have had their share of failed marriages; this will be Jennifer’s Third divorce and Marc’s Second. 
Crazy how they file for divorce when J-LO is back in the spotlight, with her recent hosting gig on American Idol as well as her musical comeback. (Hmmm interesting) 
REMINDER: Never look in on other relationships and wish you had what they have …because you never know what goes on behind closed doors. And its apparent that everything wasn’t all “sweet” between these two.

Universal Music Group “Blacklist” Big Named Blogs!!


There is never a dull moment when it comes to this messy music and entertainment industry. Whether it’s the latest gossip, rumors, drama, who’s sleeping with who etc; there is always something to keep bloggers like me, busy. Though many stories may not always be accurate, but it indeed keeps celebs relevant and there is a huge audience of people who are eager to stay informed on what’s going on with their favorite or not so favorite celebs. With that there are thousands of bloggers out here who are willing to satisfying and give the people what they want.

In addition to supplying gossip, there is a necessity to keep those informed on new music from mainstream artists. However industry executives aren’t too happy with bloggers who post unreleased music on their sites. Meanwhile they have created a “Blacklist” which includes over a hundred popular blogs and websites who are guilty of posting new and unreleased music. This has been implemented by Universal Music Group to eventually shut down these sites because they feel that they are interfering with the record sales of their artists. With that, these blogs and websites could potential be sued and removed for piracy violations.

In spite of this not only are bloggers and fans disappointed, there are artists who aren’t too fond of Universal Music Group’s “blacklist” which can be viewed here. With that, rapper Drake turned to tweet to vent his frustrations with, “Universal needs to stop taking my f—ing songs down. I am doing this for the people not for your label.”


Though regulating and controlling certain content is understandable, I think its silly that Universal Music Group would even believe this would be effective. First off blogs have become one of the main sources for information, and it is important that bloggers keep their audience updated with new music and updates about their favorite artist.

Furthermore if it weren’t for the presence of bloggers today, people wouldn’t never even know about new artists such as Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Big Sean and many others. So removing and banning these sites is ridiculous, and is in no way going to increase album sales, but it just may backfire and decrease sales.


This generation of music lovers enjoys getting a taste of what to expect from their favorite artists, and taking the privilege away would only make fans irritated. Nevertheless we will have to wait and see how all this all pans out because if Universal Music Group is serious about taking further action then lot people aren’t going to be too pleased with this.

Have You Had Enough of Beyonce?!?


Well maybe it’s just me but I am a bit over the Beyonce obsession and before you “stans” start to get in your feelings and wish death upon my life, I definitely respect Beyonce’s work ethic and extreme dedication to her craft. But she has been on an extreme (yet annoying) promotion and publicity craze for a new album ‘4’. However I am pleased to at least say that all her hard work has paid off and once a again that she is proven that she is “Queen Bey” and a force to be reckoned with, coming in at #1 on the Billboard Charts.

However her album sales for ‘4’ aren’t as sweet as her previous solo album sales. Ok yes, she is currently holding down the number one spot selling 310,000 copies of new album ‘4’ within the first week. But those numbers don't compare to “Dangerously in Love” with 317,000 in 2003, “B-Day” with 541,000 in 2006 and “I am..Sasha Fierce” with 482,000 in 2008.

Kinda makes me wonder are people over Beyonce??! I’m just saying this Diva has had an amazing run and career but based off album sales it appears that people were buying her album when the hype over “Beyonce’s solo career” was more interesting. Or could it be the increase of illegal downloads?? All I'm saying is numbers don't lie ... 

Nevertheless there is no escaping this woman; she has been on every television station from BET, MTV, VH1, CNN and Nickelodeon these past two weeks. Nickelodeon.. Really tho? And has also managed to cover every magazine there is possible for any promotion of her and new album. No shade but I am indeed Beyonce’d out!!

Again, she is a very talented woman but sheeeshh!!!

So lets be real have you had enough of Beyonce!? .... Leave Comments Below.

[Video] - Kevin McCall "Fuck You Pay Me"


Kevin McCall premieres his new video "Fuck You Pay Me" and he is indeed making a statement cocky lyrics, big ego and all. But he definitely has a reason too, dude has been grinding for a while and its super dope. 

He shows off his sexy body, style and rapping skills ... but I'm not feeling those capris tho..but anyway ...



[Video] CASEY ANTHONY'S TOP 10 LIES


This heifer is a habitual liar and the fact that she was found NOT guilty is beyond me! 

She made up names about who Caylee's father was, being molested, talking to Caylee during the 31 days, the babysitter's names, she made up imaginary friends, where she worked and etc. 

If she didn't kill her, she knows who did and (or) had something to do with it. Poor Caylee... 



Casey Anthony found NOT Guilty of Murder!!


Just in case you missed it, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony. The jurors saw fit not to convict Casey Anthony of first-degree murderer, manslaughter or child abuse. But she was however convicted of four counts of lying to law enforcements.

As I sat in my room and heard NOT GUILTY, I was honestly appalled and disturbed. Not only did Casey Anthony’s non-reaction disturb me but her parents didn't seem to be moved either. I expected them to be shouting for joy after hearing Not Guilty, but they were suspiciously calm.  

Ok it’s apparent that there was not enough physical evidence to link Casey Anthony to the murder of her daughter. But I believe that it is clear she is guilty of child abuse.

Like, how can you party, get drunk, get a tattoo saying "the good life" all while you haven’t seen your child in 31 days …… ummm isn’t that child abuse??

Either way this bish has annoyed me to the point of no return, I am expecting a book, lifetime movie and reality TV show after she serves probably like another year or so in jail for these misdemeanors charges.

But either way Caylee Anthony is truly the victim here but God will deal with whom ever was involved accordingly.
