Young Money: Roger That


I see you Weezy, I see you! Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew dropped their video for "Roger That", which features Nicki Minaj, Tyga and Mr. Carter himself and I am not mad at it, at all. Nicely executed creative concept that features a bit of 1940s film noir. I like the way they did it and it's a great way to see Lil Wayne off to his year at Rikers (keep ya head up LilTunechi). And, of course, how can you NOT love Nicki's animated ass? LoL. I guess this begs the question: Will Harriet The Spy take a stab at Nicki's verse on this one? If you get the joke, good on ya. If you dont, aw well.

Welcome Baby Violet


The Little Dream is finally here! According to People magazine, Christina Milian and her hubby The-Dream welcomed their first child together to the world this past Friday. The little girl's name is Violet, The-Dream said they were keeping her middle name private for now....ummmm okay?? Is the middle name that important? Either way, People is reporting the baby is healthy and has a "full head of hair." We'll keep you posted on the first photos of the little blessing.

Guru Recovering After Surgery



I have a beef. No seriously. My beef is with bloggers, even though I run a blog in conjunction with the magazine. Last night on Twitter, after a random blogger tweeted "RIP Guru" the whole of Twitter jumped on the message without any type of confirmation of death. In my attempt to find the source of the message I tweeted at a bunch of people but no one could point to their source. This lead me to BlackBerry Messenger where I hit up a person who sent out an RIP broadcast message, he told me his sources to which I replied, "What is their relationship to Guru's camp?" He couldn't tell me. The point? Guru in fact had not passed away. He underwent surgery and is recovering today, according to Preemo. To go live with a message that someone had passed away without confirmation is in bad taste and sends out terrible energy. It also goes to show that when you're looking at a blog, you should question where the person got his or her information. Let's keep Guru in our prayers and wish him a speedy recovery.

Would You Dance With These Stars?


"Dancing With The Stars" announced its lineup yesterday and it's going to be rather interesting this season. I still haven't decided whether this show is a good or bad move for one's career but it does say that you're kinda sorta washed up. Either way, here's the list of competitors that will be dancing of he title:

*Football player Chad “OchoCinco” Johnson
*“Reno 911″ & “Clean House”’s Neicy Nash
*TV reality attention white Kate Gosselin
*Actress Shannen Doherty
*Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger
*Actress Pamela Anderson
*Astronaut Buzz Aldrin
*The Bachelor Jake Pavelka
*Olympic gold medalist Evan Licecheck
*ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews
*Soap opera actor Aiden Turner

This leads me to believe that Kate Gosselin will NEVER go away and that Brenda Walsh BETTER make an appearance when Shannen gets bitchy. Anyways, "Dancing With The Stars" begins on March 22. Who do you have your money on?

Ladies RIP The Runway




BET's "Rip The Runway" doesn't air until mid-March but the show was taped over this past weekend. The ladies dressed casually cute and a few stood out. Lil Ms. Nicki Minaj rocked a toned-down look, which actually suited her well after seeing her in heart-shaped eye glasses and a pink money as accessories. I loved this look on her. Trina (who is currently dealing with some naked photo leaks, which I can't even be bothered with) chose a simple black dress with a cute, cropped fur jacket. Lastly, Janelle Monae wore an interesting cape outfit that only she could pull off. If you have no idea who is she, get familiar. This crazy chick can SING and is bringing an interesting spin into the music industry with her FINALLY released singles. Janelle fans, we've been waiting too long, right?

Nas Owes IRS $3.3-Milli?!


Nas is the latest example of what happens when an artist makes a shitload of money and has no idea how to manage it. Aside from being ordered to pay Kelis $200,000 in back child support, Nas owes the IRS a whopping $3,365,671.26. GOT DAMN! According to TMZ, sources say Nas doesn't have a clue that he's going under financially and doesn't understand he can go to jail if he doesn't pay his taxes, or child support, back. Also, Nas was apparently at Sundance recently and raked in $50,000 for a performance, which, TMZ is told, he blew before he blew out of Sundance.
Damn, we hope Nas gets his ish together and finds himself a good accountant/ lawyer.

SNL Spoofs "We Are The World"


Sooo, it's safe to say you did something wrong when SNL goes in. Over the weekend the late-night comedy sketch show aired a spoof of the 2010 version of "We Are The World" with J-Lo playing Rihanna and SNL staffers taking on the roles of Lady GaGa, Willie Nelson and many others. I would say this is an accurate and scientific analysis. LoL

Trey Songz: Neighbors Know My Name

Trey Songz: Neighbors Know My Name from Miss Jia on Vimeo.


I know all you Trey Songz stans are gonna go crazy over this video but really it just looks like left-over clips from "Invented Sex." Dont me mad, it's the truth. How many times can we say Trey making out with a chick and implying that he's giving it to her before we stifle a yawn. Either way, enjoy the "Neighbors Know My Name" video.
