RIHANNA’S SELLING UMBRELLAS!

WHO WANTS A $50 UMBRELLA? » Rihanna will be releasing her own line of umbrellas in an effort to capitalize on her hit single, “Umbrella,” which just became the longest-running U.K. number one single in a decade (dang Rih!). She has teamed up with British clothing company TOTES to put out a collection of five different umbrellas in the U.K. The series will be available in different colors. Prices range from USD $14 – USD $50. Ella, ey ey ey! Don’t hate, Rihanna’s making moves and you know it!

JAY-Z ON HIS WAY TO COLUMBIA RECORDS … ALLEGEDLY!

IS JAY-Z MOVING TO COLUMBIA? » According to recent reports, Hip-hop mogul Sean “Jay-Z” Carter is parting ways with his record label. The rapper is rumored to be leaving his position as CEO and president of Def Jam following the appointment of superproducer/performer Jermaine Dupri as the president of the label’s urban music division in February of this year, and is alleged to be in negotiations with Columbia which coincidentally is the home of his boo, Beyonce. A source tells the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, “There isn’t room for two kings at one label. Why would Island bring in another power-hitter urban guy?” Hmm … is it just me or is Def Jam slowly dying?

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A SINGER! » Dammit Deelishis! Why couldn’t you just leave well enough alone. Flavor of Love 2 winner London Charles, best known to us as Deelishis has a new song, and a new video out. Uhh, you might have seen THIS yesterday. Anyhow, she recorded the video and it’s been released on the ‘net. I don’t even think she’s been signed yet. The dancing was horrible and a tad offbeat, but seeing her shake that ass was pretty much the best part. Oh yeah, the singing sucked too! I swear, the world of music is going to hell in a hand basket. EVERYBODY wants a damn deal nowadays, and these record labels will just sign anyone. I’m still trying to figure out how half of the people who are out now even got signed…

    BUT she irratating[spellcheck].I herad about her umbrella line
    on the radio yesterday.Why would i wanna buy a $50 umbrella
    with her name written all on it,no…not gonna happen.
    Def Jam is going slowly down hill.It’s like everyone is leaving
    the label,But why would he join beyonce label,when he was CEO of his own.
    [???]and last but not least…………….Deelishis. What the hell!!!!!
    Okay shew can sing so why is she actin like she cant.
    And we all know you got a big ass,so why are you singing about it.
    but i cant hate because if i was in the club i know i would
    be dancing to this song.But I hope she just doing this for fun and
    not for real cause she just setting her self up fo faliure.
