THINGS THEY SAY: KANYEZIE WILL NEVER RETURN TO MTV!
2007-09-10 19:04:00
Kanye West is at again...throwing another hissy fit but this time dude just might have a point! First off he didn't win a single moonman out of his 5 nominations and to top it off he was subjected to perform in some small suite rather opening the show thanks to Britney Spears. As the night went on, Kanyezie got in more of a tizzy b/c he didn't even get to perform on the mainstage."Kanye was watching the closing performance [a medley featuring Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado] on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset," a source who was backstage told MTV News. "He started asking anyone who'd listen why he wasn't allowed to perform on the main stage. 'Why did I perform in just a suite?' he was saying. 'Justin's my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something's wrong here.' "And on losing big-time Kanye reportedly said,"That's two years in a row, man ... I'm trying hard, man, I have the ... #1 record, man."...

HOLY SHIZ MOMENT @ VMA
2007-09-10 17:59:00
Aside from Chris Brown's stellar performance, my other "Holy Shiz" moment was when Mary J. Blige introduced the new and improved Dr.Dre to the stage. Dude was looking like Suge Knight...swollen and all! Is Interscope records handing out steroids along with their million dollar record deals or are Timbaland and Dre sharing the same personal trainer?! Funny how he announced "DETOX IS COMING"...he needs put the weights down and handle the music!

CELEBS COMMENT ON BRIT'S "FALL-BACK!"
2007-09-10 17:31:00
COMMON: ?It was very disappointing. I feel like she didn?t want to be there. I have great compassion for her, and I don?t think it?s necessarily over for her. If she comes back with something potent and vibrant, she could bounce back.?KANYE WEST: ?I have no words.? Then he wondered aloud, ?Do you think they?ll give her another chance?"He then turned to a friend and loudly changed the subject by asking, ?So, how do you think the Chicago Bears are going to do in the new season??ASHANTI: When asked what she thought, laughed, rolled her eyes and walked away, then her publicist stepped in and said, ?No comment.?50 CENT: He called Brit's performance a "highlight," saying "I told you outside, she was gonna be the hottest thing, and she did it, she worked it out. Yeah, she had a big production, things started coming out of the sky." But then he changed the subject to another performer: "Chris brown was hot too, he jumped from table to table."NICOLE SCHERZINGER: "It's hard because being an...

IN CASE U MISSED IT: ROCKERS RUMBLE AT VMA'S
2007-09-10 15:34:00
Here's the much talked about slap fest that went untelevised at the 2007 MTV VMA's! Rockers Kid Rock and Tommy Lee were sitting precariously close to each other - given their history of rowdy behavior - at the ceremony at the Palms Casino when Rock "sucker smacked" Lee. The fight lasted 15 seconds and each man was escorted out separately by security. Kid Rock was later cited for misdemeanor battery and could face up to six months in jail- but that seems unlikely. Though Kid Rock was allowed to stay for the show, Lee who was on tje receiving end of the blows-- got tossed. I'm just happy to see this time it wasn't rappers...those rockers like to get it poppin' too!

GUESS WHO?! THE SPIRITUAL PHONY
2007-09-10 15:32:00
This black female celebrity is always preaching self-love, high morals and spirituality despite having the morals of an alley cat.She's more of an uninhibited "sex freak" than a spiritual counselor/lifestyle coach. What 's not known is that she loves the drug dens across this country when she's on tour or location. She likes cocaine and she just started dabbling with crack.And, she likes to sleep with her friend's boyfriends behind their back, it makes her feel powerful and in control. She's down for whatever with whomever. Reportedly, she allegedly has a appetite for menage a trois as well.She also slept with the famous (former) boyfriend of one of her musical peers. She's scandalous.Whenever she feels the need to have a kid, she hooks up with a man, pretending she's all in to him, in reality, he's nothing more than a sperm donor. After she conceives, she tolerates him for a year or two, then kicks him to the curve, in her mind, 'he's served his purpose.'She will s...

BRITNEY, I WANT MY REFUND!!
2007-09-10 03:32:00
With all the hype surrounding Britney Spears ' 2007 MTV Awards comeback, I gotta say her it's pure WACKNESS! Did she not enough time to rehearse? As the opening act for the show, her performance lacked some major energy...was she high on crack or something?? This chick wasn't even trying? Even her lip-synching skills were off! Her performance tonight was less than memorable. I can now say with conviction...STICK A FORK IN THIS BITCH 'CAUSE SHE'S DONE! SORRY BRIT, BUT YOUR COMEBACK FAILED!!

TheFashion Rocks 2007 premired on Friday and though I tuned in...here's the only performance I felt was worthy of a post. Usher and Mary J. Blige hit the stage to perform "It's a Man's World/R.E.S.P.E.C.T/Do I Do". These two really shut it down. There's a reason why Mary is called The Queen of Hip Hop/RnB and boy did she show and prove that night. Usher did his thing too...

THINGS THEY SAY: BEYONCE LONGS TO BE LATINA!
2007-09-10 00:01:00
In a recent interview with Latina magazine, Beyonce said she wished she was born latina!"I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful."Whoa! Shorty really put her foot in mouth on this one! But the diva didn't stop there, she continued with"I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine." WOW! I can already see her non-latino fans relinquishing their Beyonce stan passes. Its all good to admire another culture but to wish you were in it sounds like an identity problem. Do I sense self-hate? First Kelly wishes she was white and Beyonce wishes she was Latina...isn't it enough she looks latina?! Surely PaPa Knowles will begin damage control in a bit. Where the hell was Tina & Matthew during the interview? Folks are really gonna tear into Be for this one...

Now, theres no doubt in mind 50 Cent is one helluva wealthy rapper but this dude is too damn cocky and for no reason at all. Check out this video clip where the Gorilla goes on to hint that his album is the "magic album" while Kanye's album is "just there". SHM!

According to Miss Info, the Gorilla a.k.a 50 CENT did an interview with BET addressing rumors about him signing Jim Jones to G-Unit. 50 goes on to say, "I won't be signing him, but I don't have a problem with him." Although 50 has beef with Cam'ron he says that he didn't let it affect his overall opinion of Jim Jones. "I kept him out of the decision that Cam'ron made to jump out there." Fifty also went on to say that he did not date Ciara and that it was just a publicity stunt. Now why is his ass lying???

FOXY MIGHT GIVE BIRTH IN JAIL!!!
2007-09-08 17:31:00
We apologize for being a bit tardy with reporting Foxy Brown 's problems, but shit I got problems of my own! Anyways, it looks like Ms. Ill Na Na is going to deliver her baby in a jail cell due to the fact that she probably might spend a year in the pen. The judge reviewing the case is definitely tired of Foxy's crazy ass, calling her a "great actress" and adding that if this was the first time Foxy apologized then she would've been believeable, but as of right now she isn't. We all know that Foxy really has some serious mental issues as well as a bad memory so her ass probably forgot the number of times she actually apologized for whoopin' someones ass. According to TMZ, the look on Foxy's face was priceless. She was distraught by the verdict and her mother didn't even want to talk to the press. Even the cops from New Jersey who hit her up for lying about her name and date of birth said that she got what she deserved. Ouchhh. Stay tuned for more updates.

ITTY BITTY TIDBITS!
2007-09-07 21:01:00
Remember when the hosts of BET's 106 & Park asked 50 Cent would participate in an on-air debate with Kanye West the day both their albums dropped? Well, it's official these two will appear on 106th & Park on Sept. 11, the day their albums actually hit store shelves. BET is going real hard for this television event which is why they've enlisted the help of ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith to offer viewers the statistical data of the opponents. In other words, whose album is actually selling the most. I find it funny that people are starving all across the continent of Africa and the representatives at BET are more interested in a stupid album sales battle between Kanye and a Gorilla.

When asked if there was any chance of a Fugees reunion Wyclef said: ?The first thing that needs to happen?is after my psychiatric evaluation...Lauryn Hill? Mrs Hill? The Hill? - Should go see a psychiatrist ? period ? Just seek help!" Just a month ago, other Fugees member Pras said something similar to AHH but hella funny:?Before I work with Lauryn Hill again, you will have a better chance ofseeing Osama Bin Laden and George W. Bush in Starbucks having a latte...At this point I really think it will take an act of God to change her, because she is that far out there." Poor L.Boogie just can't seem to escape the negative criticims...aren't the crazy folks who embody the genius gene?? It's all good L.Boogie, though everyone may think you're OVER and OUT...I still have a bit of hope for you!

He told a Las Vegas reporter,"All I'll say is that it will be soon- and that means sooner rather than later. Now if the hotel here can throw in a big ring and the honeymoon suite we could go off right now...If [Palazzo President Rob Goldstein] throws in the ring, who knows?

He's worth a fortune.To avoid the wrath of his parents, he has always married white while sleeping black on the side.He has one criteria for black women: They have to be drop-dead gorgeous and if you meet that qualification, he goes out of his way to spoil you.Once, he went to a top modeling agency and asked to see the portfolios of their top black models.He leafed through photos, found someone he was attracted to and was later set up on a date.
