You Won't See Adele's Boobs or 'Bum' Anytime Soon, She Says


Ever since I got my ears on Adele's new LP 21, I can't seem to shut up about her. It's just that I was so taken by her voice and her lyrics on her album that I feel humbly obligated to spread the word about the Brit to those who are still unfamiliar with her.
Anyway, Adele is Rolling Stone's cover girl for their latest issue set to hit newsstands this Friday (April 15) and inside the mag, the "Rolling In The Deep" singer opens up about how 21 was inspired by her break-up with her boyfriend, her stage fright, and her fluctuating weight.

The most interesting part of the interview is when Adele speaks on shedding her clothes for fame. According to the singer, you will not be seeing her boobs or her "bum" anytime soon because she makes music for your ears not your eyes.

Ouch! Lady Gaga Falls Off Piano In Concert (Video)

Lady Gaga was performing in concert on Sunday in Houston, Texas when she took a tumble on stage.

The singer had one leg on her piano bench and the other on her piano when she lost her balance and fell in the middle of her performance of her single “You and I.”

Gaga was mere inches away from hitting her head but still hopped back up and continued on with her performance as if it were part of the act.


Glad she avoided injury, but the sound that piano made as she went down was just...

Review: I'm Addicted To 'Michael Jackson The Experience'

The very first time advertisements for Michael Jackson’s new game Michael Jackson The Experience began airing, I knew that I needed to get my hands on it along with many other fans I’m sure. It was initially only available for Wii in November 2010 but I didn’t get it until earlier this year.

But when I finally popped it into my Wii, I wasn’t at all prepared for the new addiction I would have to tend to. The game is literally hard to put down once you start. You do one song and then another and before you know it you’re trying to catch your breath, your arm is telling you to stop it already, and you’re still like "this is my last game" and it isn't...addictive, yes?

Photo: Keri Hilson Gets 'Naked' For 'Allure'


Keri Hilson takes it off for Allure Magazine's Naked Truth series.

We all know how Keri likes to get in touch with her feminine side even if that feminine side sees her thrusting her hips or licking doors. (BTW, we have Lauriann Gibson to blame for that “The Way You Love Me” video, I’ve learned)

Hilson went bare for Allure for their recent Naked Truth series and talked about dealing with the pressures and demands of being a woman in the public eye.

Via Allure:

Before all her hit songs, Hilson worked behind the scenes as a successful songwriter. Stepping out of the background was not as effortless as Hilson, 28, now makes it look. "The transition to being in front of the camera was very, very difficult," she says. "Everyone has their idea of what you should look like.' You need to get into the gym.' 'You need to wear less clothes.' 'Wear dresses and skirts.' 'Put a weave in.' 'Cut your hair.' 'Color your hair.' There are so many ways that others tug at you." To Hilson, posing naked stripped her back down to her real self. "We do a lot of things to seek validation: I have to get more expensive handbags or fake lashes or fake boobs. This shoot was about dropping all that."

Well, the demand for wearing less clothes can be checked off the list.

[NEWS] Mathew Knowles Admits Split With Beyonce Was 9 Months In The Making


Beyonce's father and ex-manager, Mathew Knowles, says his departure as Beyonce's manager wasn't an overnight decision.

Of course we all knew that it would be un-character like for the Knowles-clan to wake up one morning and decide they no longer were interested in working with one another over grits and juice.

Those few months in 2010 where there were rumors floating around about Beyonce and her dad parting ways in business, turned out to hold more weight than people wanted to admit.

Beyonce Set To Release New Album In June -- Bad News For Female Artists, No?

After deciding to take a year off to do normal people things like travel the world, shop at upscale boutiques, and receive $350,000 Christmas gifts from hubby -- you know the usual normal people stuff -- news has been released that Beyonce will be making a return to music with a new album slated for release in June.

According to other sources, the singer has already begun shooting a video for the first single off the new album. So fans will be getting an eyeful of visuals from Beyonce sooner than they think.

With the release of this news paired with my curiosity, I wondered: Are other female artists biting their nails yet?

Preview: Nicki Minaj's 'Moment 4 Life' Video


A preview of Nicki Minaj's video for her song "Moment 4 Life" has leaked online. From the looks of it, the video seems to be Cinderella inspired.

Drake, who is also featured on the track, is Nicki's love interest.

Seems like an interesting watch.

Listen: A Snippet Of Foxy Brown's 'Massacre' (Lil Kim Diss)


A snippet of Foxy Brown's diss record to Lil Kim titled "Massacre" has leaked online.

The track that was originally scheduled to drop Christmas Eve was reportedly postponed because Brown was mourning the lost of a friend.

Because it's a snippet I am going to reserve my thoughts till I hear the entire thing. But just judging on what is offered, this one was probably better off not being released at all.

Though some people will slam Foxy for coming at Lil Kim with this stale beef, I see exactly what Foxy was thinking. There's no better way to get your name back out there than to team up with what's hot right now. Being that Nicki Minaj is the talk of the town and is openly beefing with Kim, the wise thing to do would be to be in Minaj's corner, hoping for a collaboration...of course without seeming like that's the motive.

Unfortunately, I think Nicki is too busy being famous to be bothered *shrugs*.

Video Premiere: Snoop Dogg 'Wet'


Here is the new video for Snoop Dogg's song "Wet." This song appears on Snoop's upcoming album Doggumentary Music.

The video that is blue lit shows women in...well, wet situations. With a pool and shower scene, plus what seems like an orgy-like setting, this video might just get banned.

I actually liked Snoop's track "Sensual Seduction" where he uses my arch-enemy, auto tune, but this song doesn't really compare. But because Snoop is so smooth, there is some potential of this song growing on me.

Video Premiere: Marsha Ambrosius 'Far Away'


Here is the new video from Marsha Ambrosius (previously the other half of R&B/Hip-Hop duo Floetry) for her song "Far Away."

Marsha uses the video for "Far Away" to pay homage to the LGBT community by raising awareness concerning the bullying members of the community experience because of their alternative lifestyles. It's a beautiful song and conscious video.

According to Marsha's wiki, her album Late Nights & Early Mornings is slated for release February 22, 2011.

Video: Eminem's Grammy Ad





So creative! The Grammy's are set to air Sunday, February 13 at 8/9c on CBS.

[NEWS] Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday' Certified Platinum

A lot of people (admittedly, including me) didn't think it could happen but it has. According to the RIAA website and various reports, Nicki Minaj's debut LP, Pink Friday, has been dubbed Certified Platinum with 1 million albums shipped.

Pink Friday was released on November 22, 2010 and sold 300,000+ copies in its first week.

Certified Platinum in 2 months, not bad for a rookie.

I wasn't a huge fan or even a little bit of a fan of the album, but I guess that's just the power of stanmanship.

Congrats to Nicki!

Video: Behind The Scenes Of Lil Kim's 'Black Friday'


A video capturing the making of Lil Kim's video for her diss track "Black Friday" has surfaced online showing the petite rapper using the backdrop of Brooklyn for her latest release.

Kim really took it back to the hood with this one. I think she was filming some of the scenes in the projects if I'm not mistaken.

A gang of people followed behind her as she filmed and they seemed just as amped as she was.

Looking at the positive in all of this, at least she's working again.

Video: Jay-Z and Kanye West Really Know How To Party


I love candid videos of celebrities for many reasons, but mainly because we get to see celebrities be themselves and not equipped with PR placed statements and smiles... although I do love me some publicists :-).

Jay-Z and Kanye West were captured on video at the Marquee in Las Vegas for the after party for Jay's New Year's Eve concert at the newly opened Cosmopolitan hotel. With bottles of Ace of Spades in their hands and while taking sips straight from the bottle, Jay and Kanye performed "Monster" and "Runaway" ...tipsy of course.

Kanye even dropped hint that he and Jay's collaborative album Watch The Throne is coming in one week. Judging by the hearty laugh Jay did, I have reason to believe that the liquor was talking...we'll see.

Rihanna was also briefly captured in the video showing much personality, I love it!

Jazmine Sullivan Says She's Taking A Break From Music

Apparently, Jazmine caught the celebrity twitter fever and went on a 140 characters or less confession about how she's ready to take a break from music.

Lil Kim To Nicki Minaj: 'You Ain't Taking Nothing From Me' (Video)


Lil Kim is still filled with venom and it's still being preserved for Nicki Minaj.

At a recent show over the New Year's Eve weekend, Lil Kim took to the stage to perform some of her old classics along with her new diss track "Black Friday."

Before hopping into "Black Friday," Kim gave a speech about how she and Mary J. Blige would be coming for Keyshia Cole and Nicki because of Keyshia's song "I Ain't Thru."

A few questions:
  • Did I miss something?
  • Was "I Ain't Thru" a diss track?!
  • And why do I get the feeling that Mary is on her grown woman sh*t and don't have time for these type of industry soap dramas?

Don't get too excited though, Kim's camp later released a press release stating that the assumption that Kim and MJB have a track prepared for a release is just that, an assumption.

Anyway, Kim with the help of her hyper audience let the record stand that Nicki will not now or ever be taking her spot...her words, I'm just paraphrasing.

Is it time for them to just let this go?

[NEWS] New Lady Gaga Album Coming In May 2011


Lady Gaga held true to her promise to reveal a special surprise for her fans on New Year's.

According to her tweet along with the photo you see above, Gaga's Born This Way album will be hitting record store shelves and online retailers May 23, 2011 with a new single dropping February 13, 2011.

New Year's Eve 2011: Beyonce Performs In Vegas (Videos)


It's looking like we might get that new Beyonce album this year or is that just wishful thinking?

Beyonce was on hand to help ring in the new year with her hubby Jay-Z at the grand opening of the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas New Year's Eve. With Coldplay's Chris Martin on the keyboard, Beyonce performed her song "Halo" off of her album I Am... Sasha Fierce and also assisted Jay with his song "Young Forever."

If your ears can take it, you can catch a low quality of the "Young Forever" after the jump.

On the charts...
