So a friend and I were having a candid conversation about Melanie Brown when I was on the hunt for some fresh new flicks to post on the site. I still can’t believe Eddie let all of that go … I mean, look at her! It’s a rare find for a woman to be banging from head to toe. WTF was he thinking?! Check out me and my friend’s quick little dialog below, and be sure to check out more photos of her and her boo, Stephen Belafonte, after the cut kicking it in Miami last Friday! *By the way, my friend in the convo is a female … if you’re wondering! Lol…

AUGUST 5, 2007 » Erykah Badu and Common perform at Chakra in Miami Beach, Florida.

Just last week MEDIA TAKE OUT was saying that this whole Usher and Tameka thing was a big hoax! And to be frank, I’m mad at myself for believing in it. For one, Beyonce and Robin Thicke, who were on the “guestlist,” did have a concert in Raleigh, NC the same day of the supposed “wedding,” so it would be impossible for them to fly back and forth to make it in time for soundcheck and to perform, and all that other good stuff. But anyhow, they pretty much fooled everybody and their ass got married on Friday in Atlanta in the office of Usher’s lawyer. And guess who was there? Usher’s mom, Ms. Jonetta Patton, who was not invited to the original ceremony to be held in the Hamptons. But anyhow, Usher and Tameka pretty much “eloped.” So … does that mean there’ll be no wedding cake? Shoot!

50 Cent and Ja Rule stopped by BET’s 106 & Park last Thursday to premiere their new videos and to promote their upcoming projects. KANYE WEST “GRADUATION” IN STORES SEPTEMBER 11TH! CONTINUE READING

RIHANNA » NE-YO » M.I.A. » DIDDY

Rihanna feat. Ne-Yo » “Hate That I Love You” » LISTEN » (Full) Welp, I’m sure you’ve already heard the errr exciting news? :shurgs: “Hate That I Love You” featuring Ne-Yo is officially the next single from Rihanna’s latest LP, Good Girl Gone Bad. Again, WHAT HAPPEN TO “REHAB”? I never liked this song that much because it leaned a little bit towards “So Sick” and it made me so sick that I hated yet loved this song. But not as a single, Rihanna’s vocal capability (I had to say that with a straight face) just gets over shadowed by Ne-Yo’s amazing talent and artistry. Poor Rihanna, I almost for that half a second felt sorry for her. Hmm…

Ne-Yo » “Can We Chill” » LISTEN » (Full) “Can We Chill,” produced by Eric Hudson, will be the official third single from Ne-Yo’s second studio album, Because of You. The single will be officially released to radio the week of August 28th, so make sure you look out for that peeps! Now, as for the single itself? I think it’s a nice, smooth yet upbeat R&B track – real “grown and sexy”. But I really hope Ne-Yo releases “Say It” or “That’s What It Does” soon though cause I like those better.
