What We Have All Been Waiting For: Rihanna FINALLY Is Going To Speak!

Finally what the world has been waiting for, Rihanna speaks! By now, most of us are not impressed with Chris Brown's interview with Larry King (even though, I think he did just what he wanted to do, avoid all the questions asked, many have been long awaiting for Rihanna to tell her side Good Morning America Thursday morning at 7am followed by a 20/20 interview on Friday at 10pm est.

“Now For the very first time, Rihanna tells her story…” is what was announced in the promo posted last night by ABC News.

Lamar And Khloe's "Wedding"

Who didn't see this coming? Suddenly, after Lakers, Lamar Odom marries one of the Kardashians (Khloe), he suddenly is ALL over the media, receiving more press time than normal (let's keep it real, basketball season isn't fully in action yet, why is he all over the place?).

Leads one to believe that this jump shot marriage is simply a publicity stunt. And IF it is indeed a publicity stunt, can we hand both Lamar and Khloe an Oscar for a spectacular performance?

Of course, I'm only kidding, I wish them the best in their marriage. However, if what some of the blogs are reporting is true and Lamar, you asked former girlfriend Taraji Henderson to marry you first, I think you ought to sit down and self reflect hun! Your moving too fast!

Usher's New Track "Papers"

Usher is BACK! Oww! I've always loved Usher, and have been patiently awaiting for him to drop another album. Especially an "after the divorce" album. Earlier this week, news spread quickly over Usher's new song entitled "Papers." The title alone threw me off the loop. But while listening to the song, I was immediately impressed. Usher is the ONLY artist I know to make breaking up or going through a divorce sound cool. Remember after his break up with TLC's Chilli? He released Confession (which I still listen to constantly as if it came out yesterday!).

Check out "Papers"


We've seen Usher grow up right before our eyes, fall in love and get heartbroken. And through all of it, I think that Ush, has always handled things as a gentlemen. Even though there were pictures of him and his "alleged" new girlfriend circulating the web, I think he has still handled this situation pretty well. Because let's be honest, if he wanted to, he could EASILY go in on, his soon to be ex-wife, Tameka and her cougar gold diggin ways. Wish them all the best of luck!

Its hard living your life in the media! Give me the famous bank account but I could care less for the fame!

Go ahead and sign them papers Ush!!

Shyne Not Yet Released From Prison...But Diddy STILL watch out!

By now I'm sure that you've heard that former Bad Boy rapper, Shyne is set to be released from prison. He was expected to be released yesterday but is still being restrained due to "immigration status." Apparently, Shyne is originally from Belize. (Who knew)
It is yet known whether Shyne will be deported.

It seems like everyone has been waiting for Shyne to be get out of jail for several reasons but the most important one: "What is Diddy going to do?" Or better yet "What is Shyne going to do/say to Diddy?" Many still believe that Shyne took all the blame for the shooting at the club that took place years ago involving Diddy, and J-Lo.
This should be interesting to watch it play out. Throughout the years it was funny to see how Diddy never mentioned Shyne and went off with his life (barely escaping prison time himself) *side eye*

-Mez

Still got love for you, Diddy. But with Shyne soon to be out, aren't you afraid? Afraid he might come out with a tell all book?

It was Gareth Pugh prêt-à-porter show in Paris Womenswear Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 yesterday evening. Once again I have to ask is Rihanna a full time model now? I must admit she is a badd bish! Watch out now!

Solange Knowles On Oprah

I absolutely love Oprah but seeing Solange and Chris Rock talk about hair on the show earlier this week was great. Solange talked about her new hair do (which made so much noise everywhere when she first chopped off all her hair) Solange says:

“Realistically I was spending about 40,000 dollars to 50,000 dollars a year and probably half of my life, I grew up in a hair salon, my mom owned a hair salon,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

“There was always this feeling of always wanting to be in the salon once or twice a week and I got a perm pretty early - I was four,” she said.

When she chopped off her locks earlier this year, she wrote on her Twitter page the reason for it.

“I just wanted to be free of the bondage that black women sometimes put themselves in with their hair,” she explained.

“This phase in my life I want to spend the time the energy and the money on something else and not in the hair salon,” she added.


-Mez

Finally, people there you have it, I wish for once people would stop putting so much emphasize on hair and what is good hair. Hair is just that hair. If you are more concerned about the grain of hair someone has rather than whats on their inside, that says a lot about you.

Kandi's New Album "B.L.O.G.S"

Kandi, former member of Xscape and the only sane one Real Housewives Atlanta told Essence magazine that her new album is entitled B.L.O.G. "Bitches Love Online Gossip." Here's her explanation:

“I came up with the concept based on things that were going that were relevant to what’s going on in my life now including the show and what things have been written about me and my fiancée by bloggers,” she admits. “The whole album isn’t about the show but there are definitely songs inspired from the show like “Fly Above,” and “It Must Be Good.”“B.L.O.G.,” which is scheduled for a September release, will also feature “Superwoman,” a duet and anthem for single mothers with Burruss’s dear friend, former Xscape member and T.I.’s fiancée, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. Other guest artists include Rick Ross, Gucci Man and Rashieda.

Wow. Love the album title, and I'm actually looking forward to her album. Just a bit of advice, Kandi, I hope your not letting these nasty blogs out here get to you because they can be ruthless........

Cassie Looking TRES FAB!

Cassie out in and about in Beverly Hills. She looks fab! Cassie's been linked more than ever to Diddy. Apparently, they have been dating for quite some time. Although there has never been any pictures of them taken, romantically that is. My only question is why hide it?



I see Diddy has a thing for the J-Lo looking women.... *side eye* definitely not mad at you Diddy!

Lil Mama Acted A Fool At The VMAs!

Tonight, on the VMA's people were just acting really crazy! Jay Z and Alicia Keys are doing a great performance doing the new New York anthem, "Empire State of Mind" and out of nowhere at the end of performance, Lil Mama is standing there posing......

Not sure if this was apart of the performance so my question to Lil Mama is WHY? Why did you do that? If you didn't know, Twitter spares no one, immediately after her stunt she became a trending topic.

Maybe it was a publicity stunt, either way Lil Mama I think you and Kanye should get it together!

Kanye West Acts A Fool At The VMAs!

Kanye West has done it again, act a fool that is. Tonight, on MTV's VMA Awards (which were pretty *yawn* if you ask me, the only thing that kept it so entertaining was the drama with Kanye and the constant outfit changes from Lady Gaga), Kanye snatches the mic from Taylor Swift who won "Best Video Award," over Beyonce. He jumped on the stage, took the mic and said no disrespect to Taylor Swift but Beyonce was better. Now, even though MANY of us were thinking the same thing, his ignorance was uncalled for. Kanye, you need a good ole' fashion butt whooping! The kind, when your mother, grandmother sends you out in the backyard to go get them a switch! Twitter went crazy over the Kanye-Taylor situation! Concrete Loop, did inform us that Kanye had been drinking Hennesey all night, so perhaps he was intoxicated (still no excuse). Kanye and Amber Rose were both asked to leave the awards.

However, BIG UPS to Hov's wifey, Beyonce for being such a classy lady and calling Taylor Swift back on the stage to give her acceptance speech. That was a class act and speaks wonders about Beyonce's character and makes Kanye look like a donkey! Kanye, get it together quickly sir. You were entertaining tonight, but let's stop the madness. By the way, was it just me or was Amber Rose a bit off tonight? She seemed in space and didn't look her usual fab self! Here's a clip below:



Later on, Kanye did post an apology to his fans and to Taylor Swift!


What a night. The VMAs were nothing but drama!

P.S. Did ya'll see Lady Gaga's crazy a#$? What is wrong with her? She had 6 outfit changes that all screamed out PUT HER IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION!!

The Dream Named VP Of Island Records

The Dream has been named the Vice President of Island Records. He announced it via his twitter account:

"I wanna thank everyone at Island Records/DefJam for their faith in me and making me Executive Vice President of Island Records," The Dream said in a statement on his Twitter page. "Thank you to my team..my manager Mark Stewart & my attorney Aaron Rosenberg for getting this 1st step of a goal accomplished."

"I look forward to the challenge of rebuilding music for not only Island Records But for Universal Records as a whole. Today I'm humbled and blessed," The Dream said.

He ended this message on Twitter saying that he is calling it a Twitter quits but did not release a reason for the sudden Twitter withdrawal.

Rumors have it that The Dream and Christina Milian have applied for a marriage license in Los Angeles, CA and are to be married very soon. Also, there are many speculations that Christina is actually pregnant.

Ya'll know that I am not a fan of The Dream when it comes to his singing or whatever that is that he does. But regardless of my personal opinion, he seems to stay on top of his game when it comes to the music industry. As far as Christina, maybe being preggo.... Congrats!

Beyonce is Billboard's Woman Of The Year....

Are we surprised that Beyonce will be accepting the Woman Of The Year Award from Billboard? No, Beyonce has been on her grind all year long and it is no wonder why Billboard is giving her this pretigious award on Oct. 2 in New York City.

"Beyoncé is a multi-platinum artist and a multi-talented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman Of The Year Award was created to honor," said Bill Werde, Billboard's Editorial Director, about Beyoncé, who is the only performer in the 51-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to top the chart for 10 weeks or more with a group and as a solo artist. "She has not only influenced pop culture with her hit songs and signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to charitable causes."

She does work extremely hard, always on her grind. Can't be mad at that.

FAB Kelly Rowland Pics!!

Kelly Rowland, the former member of Destiny's Child, recently had an interview with USA Today about hopes of releasing a new album by the end of 2009 or early 2010. Earlier this year Kelly ended her business relationship with Matthew Knowles. And she has yet to sign to a new label. Kelly says being overseas has allowed her to embrace the international market. And as Ms. Toya has said I dont blame her! Kelly looks fab!





I must agree that her music in America is very much so slept on. Her last album was amazing and I must admit that I probably would of never had listened to it if a former friend didn't tell me what I was missing. Each and every one of her tracks on the album someone could relate to it. Haven't listened to it? Go check it out, and make sure you listen to 'Flashback.' Come back and let me know if you liked it.

Chris Brown FINALLY Sentenced

Chris Brown was FINALLY formally sentenced today to 5 years probation and 6 month community service at the Commonwealth Catholic Charities. He isn't allowed anywhere 100 yards near Rihanna unless they are attending an entertainment related event (than he is allowed 10 yards near her). Before the sentencing was over the judge told Chris this:

"You understand that I am issuing a protective order. You understand what that means? I’m not one to ever believe in any hearsay or anything of that matter but I’m not immune from the chatter that has been on the airwaves. Any violation of this protective order is a violation of your probation. Your attorney has appeared in front of me many times. He knows I will take that very very seriously. Remember, even though you have probation, this is a felony and it does come with the potential of state prison if you shall violate in any way the terms and conditions if this probation or pick up any new case."

Chris, you heard the judge. Stay as far away as possible from the girl.

Finally I hope that this is over and these two can move forward with their lives.
