Yo, I saw this video on VH1 Soul and immegiately looked on the internet to see if my boy upped it. This will definitely be a hit, the song was alright, but the video compliments the song so well. And Eve and Sean Paul have some pretty good chemistry there, hmm. LOL

I know y’all remember BRITNEY HOUSTON! Now she/he’s back again with her on rendition of Lil Mama’s Lip Gloss. It’s poppin LOL. The fact that “Britney Houston” is a dude scares me (just a wittle) but you can’t deny that homeboy, homegirl, whatever, was gettin it at the end when they were in the gym! LMAO check it out for yourselves above…

Who Owns the Look? Rihanna vs. Trina!

WE HAVEN’T HAD ONE OF THESE IN A WHILE!! » I recently SPOTTED some recent photos Trina on the set of a photoshoot for her new album “Da Baddest Chick 2.” I must say, Rihanna brought that short hair-cut thing back (not a fashion expert so I have no idea what it’s called LOL), because I see a lot of ladies rockin’ it now-a-days. But anyhow, when I saw those flicks of Trina I immediately thought of Rihanna’s Umbrella video. Who do you think owns the look, TRINA or RIHANNA? Vote below!!

Seven-Year-Old Florida Boy Swallows Grill!

This 7-year-old boy became the latest victim of hip-hop culture – as he was rushed to the hospital after swallowing his grill! ‘Grills’ are a type of decorative dental jewelry often worn by rap artists such as OutKast, Nelly, Lil John and Ludacris. Hip-hop fan Bobby Tedesco, 7, from Sanford, Florida, was delighted when his mum brought home a £5 ($10) grill for him from a local car-boot sale. Tedesco placed the grill over his teeth and proudly showed it off in photos. Tedesco’s expression, however, soon changed when the grill fell out off his teeth and he started choking on it. His mother, Dawn Tedesco, attempted to clear his throat, but he swallowed the grill. He was raced to hospital but doctors said there was little they could do, adding there was only one way out for the metal device.

And we all know where that “one way” exit is! Someone’s gonna have a pretty painful bowel movement LMAO. My question is, what the hell was he doing with a grill? And a cheap one at that! And it was obviously too big for his mouth it fell out so easily. I’m just glad he didn’t die. Anyhow, I’ll be glad when that so-called “fad” dies… I’ve never been a fan those damn things. Not like I could get one anyhow since I’m a brace face LOL.

The Truth Behind Usher & Tameka’s Nuptials Finally Emerges!

If you didn’t know already, USHER AND TAMEKA CANCELED THE WEDDING, which was supposed to take place this past Saturday at L.A. Reid’s mansion in the Hamptons. Well apparently last week was not such a good week for the odd couple.

“Usher’s mother is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles,” a source revealed to the press, who also said of the bride, 37, and groom, 28: “They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing.”

Obviously Ursh changed his mind and told Tameka “it ain’t happenin homegirl.” – Okay he really didn’t say that, but it was probably something of that nature LOL.

“Usher and Tameka had a lot of differences about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, [and] he wanted to have [renowned chef] Jean Georges cook,” said the snitch. As a result of the differences, the wedding “was on again off again for the past few days. [Foster] was calling it off because she wasn’t getting the things that she wanted. The mother was calling it off … Usher was calling it off.”

Just a few hours before the afternoon ceremony was to take place at the Southampton, N.Y., estate of Def Jam music executive L.A. Reid on Saturday, Usher’s publicist Patti Webster issued the following statement:

“It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected.”

It is believed the 70 to 100 guests, including powerhouse couples Janet Jackson & Jermaine Dupri and Beyonce & Jay-Z, were told just hours before the big event not to bother showing up. As you could tell in the AERIAL PHOTO that we posted, the whole shinding was set up and ready to go! Refrigerated trucks had already delivered the food and just hours before the “big announcement” decorators were putting the finishing touches to the reception tent. Everybody still got paid though! But I wonder what happened to all that food, and I wonder if the decorators will have to be paid extra if they decide to get married again. Hmm…

Rihanna interrupted her set for a few seconds at a recent concert in an attempt to stop some drunk fans in the audience from fighting. In the middle of “Breakin Dishes,” she told the band to “cut it” and immediately told the drunk concert-goers “if you don’t stop, we’re gonna cut the show, alright!” Damn her accent is just so sexy. Check out the video above.
