The verdict in rapper Remy Ma’s trial was handed down today; Ma, real name Remy Smith, was found guilty on four major charges – two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion and criminal possession of a weapon. The charges stem from a 2007 incident that saw Remy almost-fatally shoot a former friend during an argument over $3000.Remy was not found guilty of the remaining charges, which included gang assault and witness tampering. Word has it the victim’s family and friends taunted Remy when the verdicts were read – causing chaos in the courtroom.

The video for Keyshia Cole’s latest single ‘Heaven Sent’ premiered on BET’s Access Granted just a few short hours ago. I’ve long had the song in heavy rotation, so it’s good to see that the vid does it justice. More a concept clip than anything else, the simplistic nature of the vid really compliments the song. Keyshia looks great too.

It would appear that Leona Lewis is, indeed, set for international stardom. The East Londoner’s hit single ‘Bleeding Love’ toppled Usher’s ‘Love In The Club’ to take the top spot on the US Hot 100 singles chart this week. Lewis has already broken records with the song, having spent seven straight weeks atop of the Official UK Singles Chart last year.As reported, Mariah Carey performed at the season 3 premiere of MTV’s ‘The Hills’ earlier this week. Though not broadcast on the telecast, Mariah performed a previously unheard song from her forthcoming ‘E=MC²’ album called ‘That Chick’. I’ll give it to her, she did her thing on the breezy mid-tempo cut. Saying that, it hardly seemed that taxing (vocally) to perform.

Will you ever address the rumors of plastic surgery?
I feel like I have already addressed that back in the day. I just hate that I admitted to it and people will say on the Internet that I don’t look the same, “Oh, she is so plastic surgeried.” I don’t look like some freak. I still look like Vivica Fox. Stop it with that! I am in a business where I get paid to look good, but I’m very proud to have African-American features. I have not changed my nose! Yeah, I have experimented with it, but no, I’m not doing any more of that plastic surgery crap. I’m not the first or the only one, but I’m the idiot that admitted to it. Now everyone says, “That is her whole look.” I take care of myself.
As Beyonce continues work on her as-yet-untitled third solo album, a new song, presumed to be from the set, has surfaced. ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ sees the singer delve into new musical territory – dabbling with a more Pop/Dance orientated sound in comparison to what we’re used to hearing from her. Granted it’s hardly a masterpiece, I’m liking this. After the mediocrisy that was the ‘B’ Day’ album, I’ve been hoping to see Beyonce experiment with differing sounds – so I’m definitely welcoming this new direction. {Thanks Benson!}
Word has it that Tyra Banks is set to leave America’s Next Top Model to concentrate on her popular talk show. Friction with the show’s co-host is being cited, by reports, as the reason for Banks’ rumored departure:OK! magazine reports that Banks isn’t getting along with photo shoot creative director Jay Manuel, and her days on the show could be numbered. “It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking,” an insider told OK! magazine. The selective silent treatment isn’t limited to Manuel, either. “Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day,” the source told the magazine.
