After having an intimate dinner with family and a few close friends at Mr. Chows, Chris decided to go all out this weekend with his “Off The Wall” 18th birthday party at the 40/40 club. The likes of Huey, Bryan Cox, Lil Mama, Brandon T Jackson, Trey Songz, Danielle Evans (America’s Next Top Model), Jennifer Hudson, Rihanna, and of course Chris Brown himself were in attendance. You know where to check out the flicks … or at least you should, by now =P
FYI: If you come to the site and see that we’re not updating, it’s not that we’re neglecting your addiction to reading up on the latest from your favorite celebrities, but most of you may know that May is the month of hell for students in high school and college. Mike and I will do our bests to balance everything and at least come in every other day if we can’t make it EVERY day. School for me ends May 31st and I’m out for the summer! So I’ll be 100% free and I know you guys will love it =P Now, back to the updates…
Lots of celebs turned out to get dressed up, spend some money, and see a bunch of horses running laps around a track at the 132nd annual Kentucky Derby this past weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. How fun! [end sarcasm] But no really, the Kentucky Derby is a big event for rich folk. The ladies get decked out in summer dresses and sport these huuuge hats while the guys look sharp in their Sunday’s best (or worst). Check out more flicks of the celebs after the cut!

Solo’s back in the studio and working on an upcoming project! These are two new tracks you can listen to from Solange, “ChampagneChronicNightcap” and “White Picket Dreams,” (my absolute favorite!) below. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always liked Solange’s music, even from the material on Simpley Deep plus I love Alternative R&B. Her music has always been a little bit more “grown-up” and full of depth. Kinda reminds me of a young Sade even, she has definitely grown on me I must say, so I am willingly anticipating the return of Miss Solange. Bring It On! Thanks a million to Brian for the links!
NOOOO! What… the… hell!? Sanjaya Malakar might join I Love New York 2, if you don’t believe me - just visit Sanjaya’s Page and see for yourself! SMH, how old is he again?
Last Wednesday Beyoncé was spotted shopping at Gucci in Stockholm, Sweden - she looks gorgeous! OMG and B-itch get that camera out that girl’s face so close like that! I’m surprised Beyoncé didn’t swing on that random individual. These fans just take it too far… CONTINUE READING
I know ya’ll been hearing all of these rumors about Usher firing his Mother as his manager well, it’s official and here is what he had to say about it …
“She and I are on great terms and support each other in our life’s endeavors. We are both very happy but are now working in different areas of the business,†[he] said in a statement to the Associated Press. “This is great for me because it means I now get to have my mother strictly as my mother with no added pressure.â€
I for one am happy, although … NOTHING quite says “Happy Mother’s Day” Mom like a swift kick in the ass with Usher’s “business” decision, but I know it must have been hard for him I guess, and it appears it was all for the best, he adds …
“At this time in my life, I am simply more interested in building the strength of my family. And in order to do that, I feel it’s best to separate my business life from my personal life,â€
Well good for him! I hope it all works out for the best, I feel him on that part though, as long as his Mom is cool with it.
This is a sneak preview that recently leaked of Nas and Kelis’ upcoming reality show coming soon to MTV, a big thanks to Ultimate Kelis for the link, I didn’t even know this was in the works! I’m sooo watchin’ this shit when it airs!!! LOL @ armpits, urrrgh, I love Kelis.
Beyoncé » “In This World” » Download » (Full) » Two new bonus B’Day tracks you guys can take a listen to, out of the two, I like “In This World” a little more. “What’s Good With You” is just all wrong, I see why it wasn’t finalized and didn’t make the cut, it really doesn’t show much growth to me. But needless to say “In This World” I can get with! What song does this remind me of? I feel an ol’ school grove with this one, it’s a little short though, I can just picture two hopeless romances canoodling over the soft melody under a tree in Central Park or something. The lyrics are pretty meaningful as well, it gets a pass from me.
T.I. » “You Know What It Is” » Download » (Rip) » This is new music from TI, a exclusive webrip/snippet, “You Know What It Is” featuring Wyclef Jean of the Fugees from TI’s new album TI vs TIP droping this Summer of 2007. Big ups to The Regulators for this track! I don’t know about ya’ll but I stay waitin’ for that Fugees album, Wyclef! But I digress… CONTINUE READING
…the nation’s latest dance craze! Dem Franchize Boyz brought us “Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It,” and Unk brought us “Walk It Out.” Now this cat by the name of Rev. X is bringing us “The Healing Dance!” And all I have to say is WHAT .. THE .. HELL? I’m like, really scared. For all of you atheists, nay-sayers and non-believers, this video is 100% evidence that the end is near! Jesus take the wheel…
While rap’s young guns are appeasing critics and vowing to keep it clean, one of hip-hop’s elder statesmen isn’t about to let Al Sharpton, Oprah, or anyone else for that matter tell him what he can and cannot say. In a recent interview with SOHH, Ice-T said that he’s going to continue to use the N-word when he’s got the mic in his hand, claiming that the word’s OK when used by someone from the ‘hood.
“I’m (going to) say ‘nigga’ til the wheels fall off,” said the Original Gangster. “My daddy used to say it. I believe that, if it doesn’t apply to you, don’t say it. If you ain’t from the hood, don’t say nigga. That’s where it lies.”
Ice-T then went off on sellouts, saying that he thinks “a lot of black people are too overly concerned with what white people think about them.”
 I wouldn’t exactly word it that way, but I’m kind of on the fence about this. In a way, I don’t think we should use it, but in another way I see nothing wrong with the damn word. It is what it is … a word! “Nigga” is like those surfer boys’ “dude” in my opinion. Now if somebody came up to me and was like “nigger,” then hell yeah! It’s on and poppin! NO ONE should be able to use the “-er” version freely.
Damn, can this girl catch a break? While her brother’s out running around producing porn flicks and having release parties and shit, she’s sitting in a corner hyperventilating and I’m sure good ol Ray J doesn’t give a flip. Sad story…
Brandy is being sued for negligence and wrongful death by the husband of a woman killed in a car crash involving the singer. Marouane Hdidou filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday (May 2), and is seeking unspecified damages. According to a California Highway Patrol report, the singer failed to slow down on December 30 while driving her Land Rover in traffic. She was travelling at approximately 65 mph when her vehicle hit the back of Awatef Aboudihaj’s Honda.
If Brandy is charged and convicted, she could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, reports the Associated Press. Brandy is also facing a $50 million lawsuit from the victim’s parents, as previously reported. The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office is now considering whether to charge Brandy with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
My question is, would they be pursuing this case as much for an average Joe? Probably not! I guess that’s one of the downsides of being a celebrity. The poor girl already got booted off of “America’s Got Talent.” Now, she’s got nothing…
Okay, the Janelle Monáe interview is finally up and ready for you guys to read and/or listen to! It was definitely an interesting interview is all I can say. Soulful, spunky, and colorful with her style as well as sound IS Janelle Monae Robinson. She is a “modern day Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)” in search of that which is Metropolis, also the name of her upcoming album, off to the WAS - the Wondaland Arts Society that is - she went to get those creative juices following. In the interview we talked about everything from where she got started originally to her expectations prior to the near future. The soft spoken angel was not too shy to express her take on today’s society and profoundly had me second guessing on just about damn near everything. As usual, you can’t leave comments here, but you can definitely leave all feedback on the interview page!
He stepped out on the scene as a 15 going on 16 year old young man, and now Christopher Brown, best known as Chris Brown, is a grown man at the age of 18 as of “Cinco de Mayo” - May 5, 2007. Check out a few flicks from his 18th birthday celebration Friday night at Mr. Chows in NYC. CONTINUE READING
After months of postponing Amerie will finally release her third studio album, Because I Love It, Summer of 2007. Luckily enough, I had the honor of listening to the album in it’s full entirety and so I decided on writing a quick review, as well as posting a couple songs for your listening pleasure, for you guys because I love you so much and I want to share this beautiful music. The album talks about some adversities; “Forecast,” “Gotta Work” typical trails in relationships; “Hate2LoveU,” “Somebody Up There,” “When Lovin’ You Was Easy,” “Paint Me Over” as well as love; “Crush,” “That’s What You Are,” “Crazy Wonderful” all which are always excellent mediums in an album, in my opinion. It also has a few dance groves; “Take Control,” “Some Like It,” “1 Thing,” “Losing U.” My favorite track is, of course, “Gotta Work” - the anthem of my life, “Crush,” and “Paint Me Over.”

Nas cancelled a recent Hip-Hop Is Dead tour date in San Diego, CA amidst claims that he and wife Kelis encountered racist club employees, who treated them like terrorists.
“We came to the club, all excited. Couldn’t wait to get here. [The tour venues] have been sold out every night. We go to the venue and they ain’t let me in. I was outside with my wife and they treated us like terrorists,†Nas explains. “It was a little racist and we just don’t tolerate that. I just want everybody to know, don’t tolerate any form of racism. “There is no other side of the story. We had a whole bunch of security guys rush outside to me and my wife like we were terrorists. It’s not like I came with 50 guys or nothing. It was just me, my wife, my DJ and my staff for the Hip-Hop Is Dead tour and they came at us like we was Osama Bin Laden or somebody.†(Source)
San Diego’s Z-90.3 night radio host Tre interviewed the Queens-bred rapper and Nas expressed his grievance with the House of Blues on Wednesday night (May 2), the evening the show was to occur. I’m surprised Kelis ain’t set it off on them! We all saw when she got Punk’d, Lol, urrrgh I love Kelis.
