Paying homage to the Heavy Weight Lover, Heavy D in the beginning, Fat Joe teams up with Chris Brown for “Another Round" and embraces his gentler side for this sexy bedroom record!!
Eccentric R&B star, Kelis looks absolutely stunning as she posed fiercely for the premiere issue of Hunger Magazine.
Kelis has always been known for her outrageous and over the top fits, so its refreshing to see her looking so fabulous!! In the issue she gives insight & deets on her own unique fashion and hair trends over the years!!
Rapper Drake has always a crush on the late the Aaliyah, we've all watched him in interviews and heard songs of him speaking of her and such. And though she has been dead 10 years (RIP) Drake has decided to get a tattoo on his back ...
Hmmm ok ... odd much??
But its odd b/c he kinda felt some type of way about his crazed fan who took his line "Tat my name on you so I know its real" seriously and proved that she was really bout that life and tatted DRAKE (in the biggest effin font) on her Forehead. (O_O)
His feelings about the Tattoo Artist:
“The guy who tatted is a f---ing –-shole though, I will tell you that, I don’t f--- with that guy. F--- you to that tat artist by the way. And you should lose your job and should never do tattoos again and I don’t f--- with you. And if I ever see you, I’m a f--- you up.”
Tattoo Artist Response:
"I lost a little sleep over it that first night, wondering if I wanted to be known as the a--hole who tattooed 'DRAKE' on some crackhead's forehead,"
"In the end, she paid me to do this to her, which really means she did this to herself."
So I guess Lil Kim has taking a break from dissing Nick Minaj on every record, and has announced that she will be dropping a new album in 2012 which will feature her single "Spend A Milli" ... Are you excited??
Well her very awkwardly photoshopped promo pic from the untitled EP is making me uncomfortable ...
Just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!! Enjoy this day and truly cherish your family and loved ones and don't get caught up in the monetary gifts, but be truly appreciative for life!! Material things come and go!! So spread some love, give lots of hugs and smile often!!!
And lets not forget the real reason for the season, The Sweet, precious 8lb baby Jesus, laying in a manger was born!!!..... Happy Birthday Jesus!!!
Though this song is not quite "christmasy" but listening to Le'Andria sing "Jesus" truly resonates in my soul :)
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
ENJOY THIS DAY and Thanks for the continued Support!! :)
The vibrant 22-year-old, Elle Varner releases another tune, "Sound Proof Room" and when she gets alone with her lover is pretty much going down singing: "I'm surely a lady, but I'm not a stranger to badly behavior sometimes"
Nicki Minaj unleashes Roman again for her new record "Stupid Hoe" which will be featured on her new album Pink Friday: Roman’s Revengehits Valentine’s Day 2012.
And Roman has a lot to say & the blows seems to keep going straight for Lil Kim... hmmm
As Paula Patton prepares for the release of her new movie Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, she first strips down for GQ Magazine and shows her body post baby and she looks absolutely gorg!!!
Let me find out that Justin Bieber is bout this rap life tho? Well he stopped by Hot 97.5 in Vegas and showed of his rapping skills and spit a lil something over Biggie's "Who Shot Ya" track ....
1. I can't take him serious rapping in a Christmas apron
2. Who is his ghost writer? because I don't believe him..
So I just spotted a very disturbing video over at TheLifeFiles of a Dutch TV show called Proefkonijnen, meaning Test Rabbits in English. The video show the hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno, eating others flesh that was surgically removed and they smelled it, cook it in sunflower oil and ate it!!
And to think we damned Jeffery Dahmer to hell but we are cool with these two fools eating each other over a candle lit dinner?? ... I can't deal
“Nothing is really that special when you’re talking about the taste of the meat,” host Dennis Storm told ABCNews.com. “But it is weird to look into the eyes of a friend when you are chewing on his belly.”
Part of Storm’s left butt cheek was carved out by a surgeon, while his co-host, Valerio Zeno, opted to have a piece of his abdomen removed, they say. “We went to the butcher, the surgeon and the studio, then we looked at each other and just ate it,” Storm said. “The special thing is, it was his flesh, of course.”
“The chef cooked it in a frying pan with sunflower oil,” Storm said. “We didn’t add any salt or pepper because we wanted to know what it tasted like.”
Stephen Laine, the ex-husband of Vanessa Bryant's mother Sofia Urbieta Laine, spoke with TMZ to expose that the "gold digging tendencies" are definitely genetic and Vanessa has learned such spiteful behavior from her mother, who has been diggin in his pockets from day one!!
"Her mother taught her well to wait for the ten-year mark [before divorcing]. In California ... it's considered a long term marriage and then she gets paid for life or until she remarries ... just like her mother is doing to me.
Tell 'em why you mad tho?
"I have to pay her mom $1,800 every month and clearly they don’t need it. I have a six-year-old daughter and that money could be used toward her college fund or something ... you'd think she'd care .. but no, she's spiteful."
In promotion of his new album "Love After War" the very sexy, Robin Thicke stopped by "Chelsea Lately" looking rather dapper in his all black attire and wasted no time letting her know that is "...most important parts are Black!" Well damn!! ....
He also discussed his sex life with his beautiful wife Paula Patton and how the song "All Tied Up" was inspired after Paula hadn't given him the cookies in over a week .... So she he wrote a little something to get her back in mood!!
First off how do you marry someone who's a racist and you didn't know? And if your a racist why would you marry someone who is the race of the exact people you hate? ... I'm confused!!
So according to TMZTerrence Howard is ending his marriage because his estranged wife, Michelle hates black people and would often call him a monkey and a n*gga!. He also stated that he wife often said. “[I] never wanted to marry a n***er in the first place” and “[I] definitely didn’t want to be the stepmother of some n***er kids.”
He also claims that she is trying to extort him over private information that she allegedly stole from his computer and threatened to have him “clipped” if he went to police.
Umm...this is just weird!! Either way, I hope they get it together! Their first hearing is set for Jan 7th, 2012.
This is a sad in case that shows a dope boy who aint really bout that life!!
So here's the deal Deangelo Mitchell, is being charged with involuntary manslaughter after he convinced his younger brother Joshua Mitchell to eat cocaine that was hidden in his butt!
“One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don’t have any strikes. …You my little brother… I’m gonna get life”
It was quite pathetic watching Deangelo cry like a little biotch to convince his younger Joshua to consume the drugs so that he wouldn't be charged with drug possession and go to jail.
Within an hour, the brother struggled to breathe, bled from his mouth and died.

So I had the opportunity to speak with Johnny Gill about his new album "Still Winning", after releasing his first single "In The Mood" and receiving such a great response, he is now in the works of releasing his 2nd single "It Would Be You" (which was written by Trey Songz) and he talks about his new album, being blessed to continue to make good music and others things!
NW: Why did you decide to do another studio album after 15 years?
I tour all year round and I’ve had 30 years in this business, and I haven’t recorded in 16 years but I enjoy performing live and b/c of the nature of the business has changed so much and I am fortunate and blessed that I don’t have to make records to make a living, has been a true blessing for me.
I’ve just been touring and time kind of got away from me and then a lot people started asking me about recording b/c there are no more Luther’s, Gerald’s, teddy Pendergrass and everyone kept saying that there is a void that is missing and they felt that I could kind of connect and actual fulfill it…
And at one point nobody really wasn’t concerned if I had recorded or not but watching the response from everyone has simply put things into perspective but just I didn’t think it really meant that much but I guess I overlooked things a little bit.
NW: What was the creative direction of the album "Still Winning"?
There is really no particular direction, my goal was to make good music and let the chips fall where they may. I just came up with songs and good music that I know that I would enjoy performing that I felt that fit me and didn’t compromise who I am and what I do but I also enjoyed and was open to listening to different types of music … but I never let it compromise of who I am.
It’s just a great solid CD that unanimously that people have all agreed that this is my best work yet.
NW: How was it working with different producers such as B. Cox and Wyclef?
As a musician I have such great respect for writers and producers, I just think a lot people just don’t know how far my musical talent goes, not only just as a vocalist but I am a musician so its always fun and especially when your working with great musicians its always fun to collaborate and come together to see what you come up with and I have great respect for them as they have great respect for me and I think its a “win win” all the way around.
But the whole album from the top to the bottom is just great songs all the way through and its just based on where your mood is and it just takes you into a different direction.
NW: What was Inspiration for the single "Still Winning"?
That was a song that I wanted to sum up with everything of having the opportunity to do what I do and through all of the years you hear a lot of the shenanigans and how vicious people can be, and things you go through of being in this business and it just simply just says “Aye Imma keep on pushing and I’m still here and I’m still doing what I enjoy doing and at the end of the day I’m Still Winning know matter what you say!”
NW:How do you balance being Johnny Gill, apart of LSG and New Edition?
Everyday I get calls from the agents and their asking “Are you available?" And I always have to ask for “Who which one, cuz I don’t know!”
NW: Do your prefer to performing Solo or as a Group?
I love having my family, but I enjoy being able to express myself. When you don’t have to talk to or ask anyone, artistically what you want to do and how you feel that day, so it’s a balance.
It’s the best of both worlds and it’s a blessing and I enjoy it all!
Well I look at the steps and look at the choreography and go “I think imma pass on that one!”
But the for the most part we are still in our prime and everybody can still move and jump & do what we need to do and it’s a blessing. So we just pace ourselves!
Well I think its making a turn to come back to the basics, so when you see Keith, myself, Mr. Tyrese and Joe, we are all coming from the school of traditional R&B and its coming full circle.
But I like the state of R&B, and I like Trey Songz, Usher and the list goes on of those, but music is a form of art…. and everybody has different taste. So I’ve never been closed-minded.
NW:What current artist would you like to work with?
I’d love to collaborate with, Neyo! But the second single “It Would Be You” Trey Songz wrote that and he’s singing background.
We are shooting the video the video December 15 or 16th, and we might do an element of surprise for everybody!!
Because groups come out, get a hit record and everybody is thinking about how they can go solo, and solo is not for everybody!
And some groups have only had a certain amount of success, and a year or two doesn’t make or solidify you as a group. Over a period of time you have to be consistent and establish your self.
Marriage has now become about businesses, and who gives what if it doesn’t work verses continuing to work and grow and that wont be determined by a piece of paper but by the two parties understand, learning and wanting to be together.
And understanding what it takes to sustain in a great relationships

So The Fans Wanted To Know ......
Nicole from NC asked:
How do you feel about the media picking apart celebrity lives even if it means destroying a career?
It is what it is!! This is where the industry and media has always had control over sensationalizing things, they have the power and they do it.
But celebrities are human beings they wake on the wrong side of the bed like anybody else, good days, bad days, money problems and relationships problems. As a celebrity you are not exempt from life, its just now the media has decided to look in on their since theirs is more interesting versus the average Joe.
HaSheen from NC asked:
What is your favorite personal song or performance of all time that has been closest to your heart?
WOW!!! I did a song for Marvin Gaye called “Distant Lover” which is my all-time favorite songs of Marvin and every time I look back at that moment I felt really proud of and how I captured the song. I am such a big fan of Marvin Gaye and to feel the somewhat of the essence and energy of Marvin it was a moment in time that I really enjoyed!
Its clear that Facebook is doing the most!! And just when I've gotten comfortable with the last change, they have introduced a brand new Profile Timeline.
So I activated my timeline to check it out, and its a bit overwhelming, but being able to see all the craziness I've said back in 2005 is pure comedy and kinda embarrassing!! *goes to privacy settings and hides everything* (O_O)
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Timeline will arrange a user's posts, photos and important milestones (weddings, births of children, etc.) chronologically in two columns of information, with a blue line marked by dates running vertically down the middle. On the right, visitors can easily skip to certain months or years to see what was happening at that time in a person's life, and below that is advertisements.
In addition to a standard profile picture, users can now set a cover photo, a large shot that appears at the top of each Timeline profile.
People can choose to "feature" major life events, such as engagements or injuries (which is now an optional type of status update), or hide more embarrassing ones. A new Activity Log page makes it easier to see everything and to find certain posts.
ESPN has officially announced that Chris Paul will be packing up and heading to LA to join the Clippers. According to the commentary in the video he is cool with trade and is looking forward to sharing the court with Blake Griffin. So congrats to him!!!
The 26-year-old Paul, a four-time All-Star, averaged 18.7 points and 9.8 assists last season, his sixth in the NBA. His move to the Clippers means he'll now be able to make alley-oop lobs to a young star famous for dunking over a car. That would be forward Blake Griffin, who averaged 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds last season, his first as a pro. [VIEW FULL ARTICLE HERE]
Do you think that this move will beneficial to his career?
