Usher

Although Usher’s new album, Here I Stand, are already released in stores now there still some unreleased hot tracks left off the album. This new track “Chivalry” featuring Jermaine Dupri should’ve made the cut. I like this song a lot! I could’ve seen this as the next single instead of “Moving Mountains”. Check out the link below to listen.

ITS 4:32AM AND I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS……..

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God’s perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.

R.I.P Xavier May 15th 2008- May 26th 2008

In this edition of “Who Owns the Look” we have rapper Jay-Z and R&B singer Usher rocking a dope pair of Taffeta Hi Top sneakers with a gold metallic toe, suede trim, and a rubber sole. Usher wore the shoes at a recent TRL apperance, while Jay-Z was seen rocking his sneakers in some candids of him leaving The Spotted Pig restaurant at the beginning of this month. But we must ask the question … WHO OWNS THE LOOK?

All of the rejects from past VH1 reality shows (Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love) are competing against each other in the new reality series, “I Love Money.” Check out the teaser trailer above. I swear, if I see that white girl (Brooke is her name I think?) crying again, I’m gonna lose it! Man up, bitch!

And is it me, or has Hoopz lost her “sexiness?” Bitch looks a little “strong” and manly on this show… I’m not familiar with the hoes from Rock of Love, but it looks like they picked the creme de la creme from ILNY and FOL. This looks like it’s gonna be a pretty interesting show! Click here to check out who’ll be on the show.

Ray J and his entourage were thrown out the Hyatt in Washington, D.C. after hotel security found drugs in the singer’s room. According to reports, Ray J and a group of friends returned to hotel room after a party Saturday night, and after being bothered with noise, other hotel guests called security. When they arrived, they reportedly found marijuana and a club drug called “Boat.”

Police arrived on the scene, but there were no arrests made. The word on the rumor mill is that Ray J tried to bribe security, but they didn’t give in, and this caused the singer to make a scene by yelling and arguing. But his publicist denied all of that with a statement:

“The altercation did not directly affect Ray J – it was people in his entourage. But he did the gentlemanly thing and left the hotel anyway.”

It was also reported that he booked a hotel room down the street down at the Holiday Inn. Hey, they had to keep the party going! Right?

Usher apparently doesn’t approve of the way “we” talk about his wife, Tameka. The singer dropped by MTV’s TRL to promote the release of his 5th studio album, Here I Stand, and to premiere his new video for Moving Mountains. After Damien (the MTV VJ) talked to Ush about a few of the tracks on the album, Usher sort of took over the interview and let us know what he thinks about the way us bloggers, his fans, the public, and the media dog out his wife.

Well, whad’ya know! “URSHER” has grown up! He gets major cool points back in my book. I’m so proud of the guy. After all of that, I just might call it quits when it comes to my jokes on Tameka =) Click here to check out the video.

Ciara

New music from Ciara has hit the web and I’m diggin’ this new track that’s out. I can imagine the video for this if Ciara was to deem this new track, “Click”, as her 1st single from her upcoming album Fantasy Ride (Jive/Zomba). This track is a hot track but I don’t think this will be the first single. Check out the following link below. Tell me what ya’ll think of the track.

L.A. Wins Game 4!

I must say it’s coming to an end with the San Antonio Spurs. The Los Angeles Lakers won the away game last night by two (93-91). The Lakers go home in Game 5. L.A. haven’t lost a home game in the series yet so it’s not looking too good for the Spurs. The Lakers are leading the series (3-1). Kobe Bryant totaled 28 points and 10 rebounds. Pau Gasol scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Lamar Odom put up 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Kobe stated at the end of the Game 4’s win:

“It is a big step for us,” Kobe said, “Tonight we came out and did a much, much better job to win in this building in this particular game. It’s big for us.”

Game 5 airs Thursday (May 29th) @ 9PM on TNT.

(PHOTOS: WIRE IMAGE) Mariah Carey-Cannon (yes, I’m gonna be calling her that from now on) and Nick Cannon touched down in Tokyo this morning at the Narita International Airport doing what they do best. Showing off their wedding rings. They’re doing waaaay too much. Especially Mariah. How much longer is this gonna go on? When are the paparazzi gonna get tired of this, and change their names in their phones to “Do Not Answer,” so that when either of them call, they get the cold shoulder? No one knows at this point. All I know is that this “marriage” is faker than snow in the Arizona deserts… More flicks after the cut.
