It was reported yesterday that Kanye West’s management team had decided that it was high time for the young rapper to enroll in some anger management classes so that he could become more attractive to potential advertisers, and get to along with his friends and family a little better. Well, apparently, those reports turned out to be rumors as the Louis Vuitton Don himself has publicly stated on his blog, and I quote:

“I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!!”

You tell ‘em Yeezy! If your friends, family, and potential advertisers can’t love you for who you are … then you don’t need ‘em! ;-) But you know your bipolar ass needs some anger management. Or medication. Hell, why not shoot two birds with one stone and go with both!

USHER CONSINDERING RE-HIRING HIS MOM AS HIS MANAGER » Word on the sidewalk is that R&B singer Usher is having a hard time coping with the fact that his new album, Here I Stand, didn’t do as well as he had expected it to. So now he’s considering hiring his mom back as his manager. If you remember, back here in 2007 – around Mother’s Day, Usher had decided it was time to retire his mother from her duties as his manager, something she’d been doing since forever (15 years to be exact).

Now all of a sudden he wants mommy back because his album tanked. According to the NY Daily News, he’s blaming his new manager, Benny Medina, for the lack of success of his new album. Even though the CD debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, it only sold about 433,000 copies in its opening week. His Confessions album, released in 2004, also debuted at #1, but sold 1.1 million copies when it debuted. And its been over a month since Here I Stand was released, and so far the album has sold less than 800,000 copies.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “Usher was livid. He threatened to fire everyone. People have been telling Usher to listen to his mother. Nobody knows how to sell him better than she does. Usher can be stubborn. But he may be ready (to re-hire his mother).”

That’s what his cocky ass gets for trying to be all extra and get rid of the person who’s responsible for his success. CONTINUE READING

Mariah Carey-Cannon covers the August 2008 issue of Elle Magazine. In the issue Mrs. Cannon talks about her past, as well as, her marriage to Nick Cannon.

Mariah on her relationship with Nick:

“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet,” “Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would have been not quiet or private. I think we didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick… are you sure?”

Jazmine Sullivan may be a fresh face to most of you, but some of us know her from a while back in the underground scene. The first time I heard her sultry voice singing over a remake Victoria Beckham’s “Resentment” (also later covered by Beyonce) a couple of years ago, I couldn’t believe that it was coming from a 19-year-old! The singer (now 20 years old) is now signed to J Records and has released a music video for her debut single, “I Need You Bad.” Check out the T2W premiere of the video above.

Complex: Where did you lose your virginity?

Flavor Flav: Where did I lose my virginity? I lost my virginity in the bushes on a box.

Complex: Really?

Flavor Flav: Yea, in the bushes on a box. A girl and me were having sex on a box in the bushes, in some big tall bushes.

Complex: How uh…when was this?

Flavor Flav: This was when I was real, real, real, real, young.

Complex: Like elementary school? Or middle school?

Flavor Flav: Nah, I’m a tell you the truth; I lost my virginity when I was 6 years old.

Complex: Really?

Flavor Flav: Yea, man. Because you know we learned to have done the nasty back in the days, and me and this girl we experiment, we were experimenting, and my little joint got hard, I penetrated for about a few seconds.

Complex: I respect that. Early start my man.

Flavor Flav: That’s right early start and guess what and I have a great finish right now. [Laughs] Yessir!

6 years old? Damn! At 6 years old, I was too busy imitating the red Power Ranger to be worried about getting my lil peeter on hard.
