Marking the end of the U.S. leg of his “Let Love Rule” 20th anniversary tour, soul rocker Lenny Kravtiz performed Sunday night (Nov 1) at the 2009 Voodoo Experience at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. The tour kicked off two weeks ago and signified his return back to the U.S. after living in Paris.

“I moved to Europe because of the climate in America — and I don’t just mean the economy or politics,” says Kravitz. “It was also what my record label was going through. People were getting fired every week. There was no money, and people were operating out of fear as opposed to creativity…it just became a drag.”

“I was like, ‘This is not what I do,’” says Kravitz. “I do what I feel. I don’t hire the producer du jour or have so-and-so rap on the middle part of a song.”

The already nasty divorce between Nas and Kelis just got nastier! The rapper recently filed legal papers requesting that the judge presiding over the case block his estranged wife Kelis from getting child support.

The legal papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, also state that Nasir is asking for joint custody of their two-month-old son Knight.

Back in July, the judge ordered Nas to pay Kelis over $50,000 per month in spousal and child support. And now Nas wants that number to be dropped down to only include money for his son.

Sorry Kelis!

Rihanna just premiered her brand new music video for her second single, “Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova).”

We’ve watched it a couple times and we aren’t really too impressed. It’s cool and the shots are pretty cool and the cinematography is sick but it’s nothing special. She’s singing “the wait is ova…” but seriously, is there anyone really waiting anymore? We hate to say it, but Chris has our vote for best project so far. It’s time for Rihanna to step her game up. Peep the video after the break.

In an effort to promote her new album, Rihanna recently sat down to do an interview with Glamour Magazine for their “Women of the Year 2009″ issue. In the issue, Ri talks about her new sound and style, auditioning for Jay-Z, and of course, the big fight she had with Chris Brown in February. She even touched a bit on how she felt after that picture of her battered face.

But like all the interviews with Chris, don’t expect to hear something you haven’t already, which is good because we’d hate to see either one of them throwing each other under the bus.

Glamour: Let’s talk about this past year—you’ve obviously been through some difficult things. How did the people around you help you cope?

Rihanna: My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.

Glamour: Are you referring to the [Chris Brown] incident?

Rihanna: I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another.

Glamour: You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.
