STAND UP FOR YOUR DAMN SELF! This is coming from one of your biggest fans! Hell, I’ve ran a website on you for the past three years!!! And I am tired of reading about Mama & Papa Knowles taking up for you, when in all reality, you need to grow the hell up and speak out for yourself!! Mommy and Daddy aren’t gonna be there for you forever, and I think it’s time for you to grow some balls AND “RING THE ALARM” like you claimed you would do in your song!

Okay, I’m done venting, just read the thing below……

Matthew Knowles has expressed outraged and blamed the Hollywood Foreign Press for his daughter, two-time Golden Globe nominee Beyonce Knowles for not walking away with a trophy. She was nominated for ‘Best Actress’ and ‘Best Song” category for the movie ‘Dreamgirls’ at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

The big winners for the movie were Jennifer Hudson who went home with the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ Award and Eddie Murphy for ‘Best Supporting Actor.’ Knowles told reporters back stage at the Beverly Hills Hilton that his daughter was outcasted and overlooked by a bureaucratic good old boy system that is still alive in 2007 as it was in 1967. “Today is MLK’s birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go,” he said.

Enough with the BS! I’m sick of it .. I love you to death Beyonce, but I’m tired of hearing about your dad speaking up for you all of the time. After Dreamgirls dies down, and B’Day finishes its course, please do us all a favor and give yourself a long, well-deserved rest. Give us a little time to miss you! Now, with that said, I can’t wait for your tour this summer!

Love,
- Dustin

Not sure what the hell she was smoking, drinking, or sniffing, but Paula Abdul was definitely ON SOMETHING! And nobody on this earth can tell me she wasn’t! This video should be preceded with one of those infamous “This is your brain on drugs” videos. I’ve always thought she was a little off, but dang! Haha, see for yourselves…

Ne-Yo Back in the Studio! True R&B Has Returned!

I was just listening to “In My Own Words” today thinking, “when are we gonna hear about a new release from my boy Ne-Yo?” And here it is!!!

#1 film, “Stomp the Yard.” And he’s writing for other artists, such as Britney Spears and Whitney Houston. So how in the world does Ne-Yo find time to indulge in the sexcapades that he translates so eloquently into lyrical form, let alone actually record new music? “Not easily,” he laughed as he sat at the boards at Sony Studios while working on his forthcoming sophomore LP last week. Not easily indeed. “2006 was a ridiculous year,” Ne-Yo added. The year came to a close with the singer finishing dates on the Scream V tour and seeing the song he wrote for Beyoncé, “Irreplaceable,” reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “I’ve been living out of suitcases pretty much the whole year,” he said. “With that being said, I had to develop what I call a ‘portable comfort zone.’ Pretty much wherever I’m at — be it a restaurant, bathroom, hotel room, where I sit down — that becomes a comfort zone. I don’t have the luxury of saying, ‘OK, let me get a flight to L.A., I gotta put this song down.’ I gotta find the focus wherever I can find it at.”

With his debut, In My Own Words, still being promoted, Ne-Yo has been trying to sneak in time to work on his yet-untitled second LP, as he did at Sony last week. The Las Vegas artist, dressed in a black T-shirt and black stocking cap, described his songwriting process as frill-free and said the end product sounds a lot more exciting than the actual music-making. Surrounding him were a couple of friends, reps from Def Jam and his engineer. So how does the young but already masterful craftsman approach the writing process? “It just depends on the song and the track and what part of the track catches me first,” he said. “Sometimes it’s the hook, the verse, sometimes it’s the bridge. It’s whatever, as long as the song comes out a specific way and there’s melodies you hear once or twice and can sing back, lyrics you can do the same with but have depth. And a hook that catches you right off top. CONTINUE READING

I had no idea that you guys weren’t able to comment due to the form being broken! It wasn’t until a visitor sent me an e-mail about an hour ago that I found out, so I really apologize for that! I was editing the template a while back, and accidentally removed a piece of the coding that allows the form to process. Registered users could comment, but regular visitors could not. But now, that has been fixed and EVERYONE can comment! Give it a try! Hehe, ENJOY!!!!
