50 Cent On Tyra Show

Rapper 50 Cent stopped by the Tyra Banks Show earlier this week for what turned out to be a real interesting interview. The G-Unit General spoke candidly about his baby momma drama, Ja Rule, Vivica Fox, of course his latest projects and much more.

As much as I still think 50 is a dwindling entity, I must say he came across really well here. Really well. It’s just a shame that he acts a fool more times than not.

Check out these recent paparazzi pics of singer Amy Winehouse in London recently. Yes, she still looks like she needs a good scrub, but it’s great to finally see her with some flesh on her bones.

Ciara Enlists T-Pain For 1st Single

ciara1234 Ciara Enlists T Pain For 1st SingleOur friends over at Rap-Up.com have received official word on Ciara’s much anticipated new single – the first from forthcoming LP ‘Fantasy Ride’. Both produced and featuring T-Pain, ‘Go Girl’ will serve as the record’s first release.
What’s more, after initially being slated for a November release, ‘Fantasy Ride’ ,the 22 year old’s conceptual ‘musical journey’, will now hit stores in early December – 2 years after the release of her sophomore effort ‘The Evolution’.
Yet another T-Pain feature…hmmm. Here’s hoping the current plans remain as they are; I mean I’ve had previous lead single ‘High Price’ in constant rotation and had been anticipating the video. Oh well…roll on December.

Amy Winehouse Performs ‘Rehab’ At V Festival

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse performed the V Festival this past Saturday in the UK. Check out her performance (if you can call it that) of her hit ‘Rehab’:

Clearly whoever is booking her for these events doesn’t have her best interests at heart. What a complete embarrassment. Sad.

Jay-Z Performs At Glastonbury

Despite the controversy surrounding Jay-Z being billed as the headliner at the largely ‘Rock’ Glastonbury festival, the renown rapper silenced naysayers by delivering a show-stopping set. Inclusive were a tongue-in-cheek opening of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ – which took aim at group member Noel Gallager’s remark that “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong”, as well as a remix of Estelle’s ‘American Boy’. Check it out:

Ms. Jigga was also in attendance to support her husband…

More On Janet / Def Jam Drama

nm Jackson 080222 ssh More On Janet / Def Jam Drama Following the story our friends over at SOHH broke about Janet Jackson’s latest label spat with Island Def Jam last week (which spread like wildfire), the highly reliable owner of the most popular Janet fansite online Janet-Xone.com has shed further light on what exactly went down:
Good day, Janet fans.

This post is intended to put some fact – from inside Janet’s camp – to the rumor mill around here. The facts do not change the current situation, but they put truth to the stories that have been floating around this forum.

Janet wanted Luv to be the second single. LA Reid wanted Rock With U to be the next single. Obviously, we’ve seen how this conflict affected the post-album release promotion, and Janet has now explained the results of this conflict. End of story. The rest is history.

Have a good day!

Wow. Not to toot my own horn (well slightly lol), but myself, along with many others, recognised the hit potential of ‘LUV’ most especially over ‘Rock With U’ right from the onset. The only way I ever envisioned ‘Rock With U’ being successful was if it was touted as an International single and pushed over here in European territories, where its chances of charting well were high(er).

Though I’m sure there’s a lot we don’t know as well as unanswered questions, the whole scenario makes a lot more sense now. As some of you may remember, the early listening session reports for ‘Discipline’ detailed how LA Reid would play ‘Rock With U’ more than once (while visibly enjoying it), trying to gauge a reaction from the journalists to the song. It really does beg the question, then, baring in mind what is known and not known, of where the blame lies in this whole episode.

Amy Winehouse In New Racism Scandal

amy+crack+head+what+a+shame1 Amy Winehouse In New Racism ScandalDrug addict Amy Winehouse today found herself at the center of yet another scandal – one that is threatening to leave her career in ruins.
UK tabloid The News of The World was sold videos and pics from the camera of Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil’. Among the many pics of Amy, Blake and a friend in their crack den, a video, featuring the ‘Rehab’ singer performing a racist chant was included. A mess and then some…check out the vid and pics below:

After watching that, I’m pretty much through with Amy; there’s only so many times one can say ‘if only she got her act together’. Though I’m almost certain that a statement to the effect of ‘I’m not a racist’ will be released, drugged out or not, there’s no excuse for saying such things. What makes the whole incident all the more bizarre is that Amy’s own genre music is of black heritage. A complete cracked out mess. SMH…

Winehouse ‘Close’ To Marriage Break-Up

amy winehouse blake fielder 400a081707 Winehouse Close To Marriage Break UpAccording to reports, controversial singer Amy Winehouse has started making plans to end her 11 month marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil:

The singer is waiting for her partner to be released from jail before she breaks the news to him, according to The Sun.

Fielder-Civil is currently awaiting trial at Pentonville Prison on charges of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Winehouse has apparently missed several visits to the North London prison and is behaving like a “single woman” with friends.

“Amy does everything she can not to visit,” said a source. “She forgets she is married half the time. There are a few men she is close to and Blake can’t stand it.”

The Back To Black star’s father commented: “It wouldn’t surprise me if Amy and Blake had broken up.” {Source}

Evidently, they weren’t good for each other; so I guess this is a good thing. Maybe now she’ll be less of a train-wreck and concentrate on the music.

I’m real amped for Michelle’s record. August is quite a way away, but I guess they’re looking to drop two singles before the album is released.
