The Knowles Split...


Via ThatGrapejuice

After months full of murmuring and hearsay, it has today been confirmed that Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles is divorcing the singer’s father (and manager) Mathew after 29 years of marriage.

Interestingly, the power couple’s separation was legally filed back in November (as the pic below shows, courtesy of Bossip), yet only a few hours ago made its way out into the media:

mattdivorce copy1 Explosive: Tina & Mathew Knowles Divorce!

Whatever the reason for their parting (which I’m sure will form the basis of many a debate), 29 years of marriage resulting in a divorce is quite sad. Sigh…

Que Kicked Out Of Day26?

Rihanna "Hard" Video


Well finally we get to see the latest video from your girl Rih. It's her new video for "Hard" ft. Young Jeezy. To be honest for me it's a hot video, can't say it was a let down by any means. However the only problem I have is with Rihs performance. She seemed very contrived and forced. Then again what can you do with a girl with the performance skills of am ant.

Check Out The Video...

New PhotoShoot: Lady GaGa and Kanye West


So I got my hands on the Dave LaChapelle photo shoot of Kanye and Lady Gaga. It was shot for the Fame Monster Deluxe Album artwork booklet. It cool I guess, tho Gaga's not wearing any clothes and that's suppose to be shocking (side eye).
Here's the thing about Lady Gaga that makes me think. She is the type of artist that likes to push the envelope, and you come to expect her to do so. But this isn't a 1980 Madonna world anymore. Here's what I mean, back when Madonna was doing her thing it was really edgy, and no one was testing the sexual limits like she was. Things we never thought you could get away with she did it.


However now we as customers have seen it all , and after a while Lady Gaga will be a "been their done that" type of artist. When the funny makes ans stuff get old then what. Thank god she has her talent to fall back on, but will that be enough?.
Anyway, I love photographer Dave LaChapelle and his work. He always brings something fresh.

Chris Brown News

Chris is mad, and letting everybody know it. He went into a CT Walmart, and they weren't carrying his new "Graffitti" CD. Long story short guys, he spoke to the manager and then tweeted this




This is why he says his sales are low. The Hits Daily Double final tally is in this week and it’s not good news for "Graffiti" debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of just 102,489. Can't say I blame him. Plus if you have secret information that your CD ain't gonna have big numbers, why not creative and magnify a situation like this.
Chris has since deleted his twitter account(probily forced by his handlers). Which is a good and bad thing, really he wasn't posting Kanye drama was he?

Also check Chris sell out venues around the US with his ‘Fan Appreciation Tour’. During a recent stop at New York’s famed NOKIA Theatre, the 20 year old gave a roof-raising tribute to his idol – the late, great King of Pop Michael Jackson. Giving his dance renditions of ‘Thriller’, ‘Rock With You’, and ‘Billie Jean’, Brown showed not only why his behind should have performed at the BET Awards (he’s one of a few active males in the industry able to do MJ justice), but also why he is one of the industry’s premier performers.

Kelly And Nelly New Music


I'm going to try my best to be as positive as I can about this. I realize there is a possibility that I'm just tripping.
I'm just gonna put it out there the way I feel first, (but put it in parenthesis like I never said it)

(Kelly Rowland is a very talented young lady. She is beautiful and has been groomed for success. However her career is built on a double edged sword. One side of the sword is, she was apart of a hugely successful girl group that put her in the position that she' in today. The other side is, Beyonce, enough said. She will perform, sing, dance her heart out to the best of her ability and always be compared to her. And lets face it, Beyonce is a beast. Kelly's live vocal performance most times leave more to be desired, but you cannot deny her beautiful texture and tone of her voice. Her voice is best captured in the studio, and sounds great.)

But she has lastly resorted to a "new female in the game" mentalaty, and to be honest it's not a good look. She debuts along side a DJ, which name I won't mention(his head is big enough), like she was some back up singer. Let me try to explain what I mean. It was IMO like she forgot her impact in the game and allowed herself to be nothing more than a vocal prop.
And now she is taking video model roles and repeating her first collabo since their ‘Dilemma’ back in 2002. I see Kelly as such a bigger star, and it just bothers me to see her go this route.
You may not be as strong as far as live performances go, but Kelly you been in this game for a minute too!

Tough love from me I geuss, cuz I want Kells to bring it.

So check out her Nelly duet. It's said to be produced by Jim Jonsin and written by Rico Love. the song. If you listen closely you can her it in the backround and it sounds HOT! Her album will out sometime in 2010.


Can You Hear The Song, What Do You Think?

Kelis New Album News


After giving fans her new single, “♫ Acapella,” late last month, Kelis has announced that her fifth album, Flesh Tones will be released next spring. Kelis had this to say,

“Originally I wanted to do something electro,” she told MTV News. “I kind of went through all these different phases of what I wanted it to be. In recording stuff, it kept changing. Finally it got to this really electronic, dance, really melodic vibe. Everything started to come in that space. I started to fall in love with it. It took a life unto itself. It wasn’t calculated. … All the stuff I fell in love with and stuff I was writing fell into that space. It’s sort of a new-age disco — futuristic disco.”

Alexandra Burke Video For "Broken Heels"


So I got the new video for you guys. It's her latest single called "Broken Heels". It was shot in Los Angeles last month, and get this, Frank Gatson choreographed the video.
For those who don't know who that is, it's Beyonce choreographer. It's really interesting to see him work with someone other that Bee, cuz now I can see what he truly brings to the table. The video is just ok for me, and although she rocked it, the actual choreography was just uh, but that's just me. Then again the song does NOTHING for me, so that can't help. It's not hard to see that Alexandra Burke has the potential to become a big star, just not with songs like this, at least not for the US market.


What Do You Think?


"What She Don't Know" Cassie


Songs like this cause drama, I'm just sayin.

It's a hot new track called "What She Don't Know" by Cassie. I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one who like this song, but I have a soft spot for Cassie.
Anyways it could use a little more production wise to make it hot, other than a hot video. But overall I dig this song. This is the type of song that can be sold and made hot by an innovative video, and I just wish it didn't have to rest on that factor. Enough talking check it out.

Mario "thinking Of You" Remix Ft. Kelly Rowland


Here is a remix for Mario's "Thinking of You" ft. Kelly Rowland I found. It's a ok song. Tho I don't see the point of Kelly getting on this track, maybe it's just me. Even the original never did anything for me. Not saying it's a bad song. But why put Kelly on it she didn't add anything to it.

Whitney Houston InStyle


Whitney Houston in the January 2010 issue of InStyle magazine. The pictures look great, and Whit is definitely working it.

New Music And Drama: Chris Brown


Chris Brown’s VIBE magazine feature has some pretty opinionated statements coming from Brown. He speaking his mind, and I ain't mad at 'em for it. In the issue, the talked about this year’s BET Awards. This year they called themselves honoring The Great Late Michael Jackson. Brown was removed from the program after what happened involving ex-girlfriend Rihanna. He had this to say:

“It was whack. I’ll keep it a hundred. The BET Awards was horrible. I was watching it, holding my face like, ‘Oh my God this is wack’. I didn’t get it. Michael Jackson was such a big entertainer. And I’m not dissing any of the artists who did the songs. But I was expecting a lot more energy for Michael. And BET Awards usually comes hard. I was expecting them to have Usher, Omarion and even Justin. And I was expecting Ne-Yo to dance. They were so bent on not getting me there that they messed up their own show.”

What do You Think?

His camp has also released the names of his next two singles. "Pass Out" for the pop market, and "Singing Like Me" for the urban. I love both songs, so he betta come hard with the videos and of course I'll post them when I get them.

Check Out His Two Single Below

Singing Like Me




Pass Out




And Chris Brown was on with Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex recently and was asked to rate some of the hottest females in the game.

Rihanna Not Selling?


Rihanna’s ‘Rated R’ 2nd week sales are in and are even more disappointing than even her haters expected. According to Hits Daily Double, the album took a massive dive in sales falling down the charts this week, dropping #4-#18. Her number are a sad 53,544 copies (a whopping 70% drop in sales from her first week tally).

So after releasing the record during the holiday season, slashing its price to $0.99, a huge promo campaign and sympathy and this is it.

Hate to say I told you so.


She also got a new tattoo. On Monday night Rihanna went to East Side Ink, and had more work done. She got the words, "Never a failure, always a lesson" written backwards so she could read it in the mirror.





They also asked Kelis what she thought about Rih jacking her style.



“You know what. Listen, it’d be totally ridiculous for me to not acknowledge it if someone asks. The reality is, what is she like 20? I mean, what else is she supposed to do? I mean honestly. I don’t have any animosity at all whatsoever. That’s what she’s supposed to do.”

New Music: Justin And Jamie "Winner"


Here is a leaked track from Jamie Foxx and Timberlake called "Winner". Why do we even say it's a leaked track anymore? And it's a winner for sure. The artist is the one doin it 9 times out of 10. Anyway it's a hot "leaked" track from the two. The trumpets and the string and the piano in the background sets this song off.

Check it out.


No Grammy For 50?


Well here we go again with some Kanye drama. This time it's 50 Cent making all the fuss. It seems he wasn't nominated for a Grammy this year and he want everyone to know he's pissed. I guess when people say' "Just being nominated is an honor" that's a lie. He's been nominated 13 times, but and honor was the last thing he was feeling

He told MTV:

"Man, f**k the Grammys! I couldn't care less about the Grammy Awards. It'll be the Beyoncé and Taylor Swift show. I guess they'll both be performing at the awards show, which means their record companys will be spending money to raise the production values of the entire show. And when you spend that kind of money you're supposed to get trophies."

Let me get a Grammy nomination and see how I act, then again I ain't nobody LOL. Why he always bumpin Bee?

Oh yeah he got a new video out. Maybe that's why. Here is 50's new video for "do You Think About Me" starring Vivica Fox. Why you couldn't just say that 50? LOL
