NEW YORK // SUNDAY, JUNE 29TH 2008 » The Michael Strahan/Dreier Charity Golf Tournament Pre-Party went down last night to help benefit Children’s Rights & Keep A Child Alive Organizations.

I swear, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Beyonce & Jay photographed together. Anyhow, celebrities like Joy Bryant, Irv Gotti, Fabolous, and more showed up for the party.
FABOLOUS TO RELEASE CONCEPT ALBUM BASED ON FILM » Rapper Fabolous is working hard on his next LP, which he plans to release this August, MTV News is reporting. He plans on basing the album on an upcoming film, similar to what Jay-Z did with American Gangster.
“I usually go around and just get with producers I feel I wanted to work with. This time I’m going off a theme,” he said. “I’mma put a theme together and just go off of that theme,” he said. “Sometimes producers get lost trying to figure out what they think is the best type of sh– for Fab. [They say,] ‘I got this commercial joint for you.’ So what I’m doing now, I seen a movie I want to theme the album after. Even take certain lines, different scenes out of the movie and make music behind that. At the same time, I can have the producer check the movie out, and he’ll have something he can take away from the movie and come back with some joints. I wanted to try that this time.”
“What Jay-Z did [with 'American Gangster'] … he took that Frank Lucas character and put it in the frame of his Jay character,” Fab opined. “That’s what I wanna do. I don’t wanna say I that I’m actually the character, but take some of his scenarios or some things I went through and tell it in my tone.”
Fabolous didn’t disclose the name of the movie, but he says that a warm-up single is due for a May release. He also mentioned a few big names for the producers he plans on working with: Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Polow Da Don, just to name a few. I’m definitely interested in seeing what movie this album will be modeled after. Jay-Z did his thing on American Gangster! CONTINUE READING
Hip-hop king Jay-Z and R&B queen Mary J. Blige showed up and showed out (from what I hear) in Miami’s American Airlines Arena Saturday night! The two were there, along with Kanye West, Timbaland, and The Dream, to kick off their Heart of the City tour. Rappers Young Jeezy and Fabolous showed their support from the audience, and were photographed backstage. It looked like a pretty damn good show! Wish I could have been there.

Damn these rappers are getting old! Lol, anyhow, Fabolous and some of his celebrity friends hit up AZZA Restaurant and Lounge in NYC last night to celebrate his 30th birthday. Angie Martinez, Cassidy, and Danity Kane were a few of the celebrities on the guest list. And speaking of Danity Kane … am I the only one who feels sorry for them? Everytime I see them out somewhere and just sit and think, “Damn, Diddy did these girls so wrong!” And where the hell is “Making the Band 4?” Do they even have a friggin name yet??? Oh wait, this is supposed to be about Fabolous’ birthday … my bad!

The 2007 American Music Awards went down last night at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The show was telecast live on CBS and featured performances from Fergie, Chris Brown, Beyonce (and Sugarland), Rihanna & Ne-Yo, and more. Winners included Justin Timberlake, T.I., Akon, Rihanna, and Beyonce, who won the most prestigious honor of the night! Beyonce took home the “International Star of the Year” award, an honor only previously given to Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Rod Stewart. This makes her the first female to ever win that award, which was presented by Usher (who fumbled through 95% of it I might add lol — what’s on his mind??). If you’re interested in checking out the full list of winners, check out this site. In this post, you’ll find photos from the Red Carpet, The Performances, and Random Candids from throughout the show. CONTINUE READING
