Eminem landed himself not one, but two, covers for the June 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, set to hit newsstands May 5th. After a three year hiatus from the music industry, the Detroit bred rapper is preparing to release his fifth studio album, Relapse, on May 15th. The cover on the right is a special collector’s edition and features Eminem as Marvel Comics’ notorious vigilante “The Punisher.” Below is a quote pulled from the interview where he talks about how he feels about T.I., Lil Wayne and hip-hop and general, which he felt has gone way downhill. But he said he respects Tip and Weezy’s respective flows.

On T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip-Hop:
“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any names, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”

Billy Ray Cyrus himself has finally publicly addressed the comments Jamie Foxx made about Cyrus’ 16-year-old daughter Miley on The Foxxhole, Foxx’s popular radio show in Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Jamie has since then apologized for making the statements, saying that he didn’t mean what he said.

“It was hurtful,” Billy Ray said on Thursday’s “Bonnie Hunt Show,” according to Us Weekly. “There wasn’t nothing funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic.”

R&B singer Fantasia will return to her reality television roots come early 2010 when she stars in a new unscripted series on VH1, who is well known for their reality shows. Her first experience with reality television was when she was a contestant on FOX’s hit singing competition show American Idol.

“Fantasia has one of the most fascinating stories in show business, from her tough upbringing to her meteoric rise on the national scene thanks to American Idol,’” Jeff Olde, executive vp original programming at VH1 said.

“Her challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world. So many people wanted to work with her on this, but Fantasia is now part of the VH1 family, and we’re so happy to have her.”

Rihanna is reportedly preparing to take the stage in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on May 28th, in her first performance since her February 2009 altercation with her (former?) boyfriend Chris Brown. Her last concert was January 29th in Los Angeles.

“There will be over 25,000 tickets available,” says Mary Rachelle Cherpak, a spokeswoman for Dubai Tourism. “They will be going on sale in the next couple of days.”

Though the location is still TBD, she says it will most likely be a designer outdoor venue.

Says Cherpak: “Normally they create a special stage in the desert for these events.”

It has been confirmed that Corey Williams has been given the same sentence (via a very nice plea deal) as his former boss T.I. A judge sentenced the former bodyguard/informant to one year and a day behind bars in a federal prison for his role in T.I.’s recent weapons scandal.

In court records, Williams revealed that he started working for T.I. in July 2007. Soon after, Williams’ previously clean record allowed him to purchase weapons for T.I., who is barred from obtaining any due to his previous criminal convictions. The arrangement was discovered by ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) authorities when Williams attempted to purchase a machine gun without registering the weapon, which is required by federal law.

Upon his arrest, Williams agreed to wear a wire during face-to-face meetings with T.I., which led to the rapper’s arrest on felony weapons charges. Although no charges were filed, Williams also implicated T.I. protégé Alfamega in the conspiracy.

For some reason Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) felt like she had the pull to “ruin” Radiohead after they refused to meet her backstage at the 2009 Grammys. She said she left early and didn’t even watch them perform at the show because she was so upset about their snub. She event went as far as saying, “I’m gonna ruin them, I’m going to tell everyone.”

Well Sunday night, someone called in to Jamie Foxx’s satellite radio show, The Foxxhole, and mentioned the incident. And Jamie and the crew went in HARD on little Hannah Montana, calling her a “little white b*tch” and describing her as the girl “with all the gums.” Jamie and his on-air crew continued with what people feel were out of pocket comments, saying that she needs to go make a sex tape and “go get like Britney Spears and do some heroin.”

Jamie has since then (Tues. night to be exact) apologized to Miley on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, saying that he was sincerely sorry and agreeing that he did go way out of line with his comments, considering Miley Cyrus is a 16-year-old kid and he has a young 14-year-old daughter himself.

“I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere. I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far. We go at everybody! There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

Bow Wow says he’s done it all as far as his music career goes, and now he feels like it’s time for him to put the mic away and focus on his acting career. We couldn’t be more excited!

“This is my last album because for me, there’s no more that needs to be done on the music side, I’ve done everything. The scary thing is I’m 22 years old and I’m young. I’m still a baby, so it’s kinda like on the music side, I’ve been doing it since five. That’s 17 years of non-stop music, music, music. There’s nothing more to accomplish that I haven’t seen yet. I feel like now it’s time to endure a new challenge, close the chapter on the Bow Wow legacy. As far as albums, I’m good. Seven albums at 22, that’s crazy.”

His latest attempt at music, New Jack City II, flopped HARD, selling less than 30,000 copies in its opening week! We’re not sure how an act as big as Bow Wow can end an opening week with numbers that low, but we do agree that it’s time for him to find something else to occupy his time because music is NOT it. Good luck with your career as an actor little guy … we just hope you lose some of that cockiness you’ve acquired over the years! Peep his full interview with Real Talk NY after the break.
