We hope this (and the upcoming Wendy Williams Show thing) concludes the interviews about “the incident” from either party!

BET’s 106 & Park’s host Rocsi sat down with Chris Brown to further discuss the domestic violent assault against ex-girlfriend Rihanna. This wass the first Chris Brown has publicly talked about the incident with an open studio audience viewing at the same time.

In the interview, Rocsi asked Chris a number of times if he understood the severity of his actions that took place during the infamous night in February  and how he thinks fans see him now. She also asks him what would the Chris Brown today would tell last year’s version of himself. To see how Chris responded watch the video below!

People Magazine has confirmed that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are back still together, despite Janet openly speaking out about her relationship with Jermaine shortly after her brother Michael Jackson’s death for the first time in Harper’s Baazar claiming that she was single:

Janet is also now single, recently breaking off her seven-year relationship with music producer, Jermaine Dupri. Does she still believe in marriage? “For [some] people, sure! I don’t know if I’ll get married again. [She's been married twice, as a teen to James DeBarge and to choreographer René Elizondo.] I’ll put it like this: If God wants me to, then I will.” Dating? “Yeah, I’ve had people ask me out. I haven’t entertained any offers thus far, but I’m locking myself in my work right now.” Some might say boys smell anyway. “Yeah, they stink,” she chuckles, “and they’re dirty.”

But an inside source tells people:

“They never really broke up,” source says, “Jermaine wanted to give her space when Michael died.”

R&B crooner Trey Songz has shot and released the music video for his fourth single “I Invented Sex“ from his third studio album, Ready. Rapper Drake was originally on this record but I guess he wasn’t available to shoot the video, which has left us a bit speechless after watching it. It’s basically soft core porn and there’s even an “Explicit” warning before the video starts. Is this really what it takes to sell music these days? LOL

Check it out after the cut!

He’s been in the studio recording new tracks to be implemented into his upcoming album, but according to his Twitter page, he has a new sneaker line coming out called Oboi’s that he said was created to “appeal to dancers.” They actually look kinda hot!

Beyonce was spotted on the hot sunny Miami beach Thursday morning shooting a new music video with an unidentifiable extra in the video as well. We’re still waiting for her to add her husband Jay-Z to a video that he’s not a featured artist on. Sort of like how Robin Thicke puts his wife, Paula Patton, in his videos.

It’s still unclear which single Bey is shooting a video for but we’re sure this isn’t Sasha Fierce. It’s most likely either “Ave Maria” or “That’s Why You’re Beautiful.” Continue reading to check out more beautiful pics from the shoot!

One of our favorite MCs, Kanye West, will we  be the face of the February 2009 issue of VIBE Magazine. In the issue, Kanye talks about his recent incidents with the paparazzi and even talks about the album, 808s & Heartbreaks, of which he feels was his greatest yet. I personally don’t feel that 808s & Heartbreaks was better than Graduation but according to the issue, Kanye thinks otherwise.

Kanye Vents On The Paparazzi:

“I haven’t done anything violent. They make it seem like I actually went and hit the paparazzi. I haven’t. I was restrained. I’m good at restraining myself from committing violent acts. I know how to control my temper. That one paparazzo made it a bigger deal. I just put my hand up and he felt like he had more right to my personal space than I did. I put my hand up to stop him from shooting me.”

Kanye on 808s & Heartbreaks:

“I do think it’s my best album to date. No, I actually know this is my best album to date. Do I think it will be my best album ever? No, Ill improve. Do I think there are mistakes in it? Yes. There has to be. I’m a human being. But I think it surpasses Graduation. These 12 tracks are going to resonate more than any 12 tracks of any album this year.”

Make sure you go pick up the new issue when it hit stands.

Bow Wow has just premiered his new music video to his latest single, “Roc Da Mic,” featuring Jermaine Dupri. The new track is definitely a banger! You usually don’t hear Bow Wow flow so smooth. Bow Wow’s upcoming album, New Jack City Pt. II, is set to be released in March 2009. Make sure you check out the video and tell us what you think!

The 2008 Finals was a great event in itself, but the final long awaited match-up between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics was nail biting, to say the least, until the final buzzer. The past rivalry between these two team is legendary. For the 11th time, they battled head to head for the championship title. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce were known as the ‘Big Three’ all up against a one man stampede, Kobe Byrant. The Los Angeles Lakers showed their teamwork in the 2008 Finals, but the Celtics lead the series victoriously.  Although the Boston Celtics took the 2008 Championship title, it was still very interesting watching every game they played against one another, making it the best moment in sports.

Bow Wow has released another video freestyling to Common’s “Universal Mind Control” instrumental. I must say, Bow Wow flow is getting nice. As a rapper, he may not be looked at as serious competition but people really need to pay attention to the man’s bars! Check out the video above.

Yung Berg has a new video for his single, “Outerspace,” from his latest album, Look What You Made Me. Yung Berg re-uses his auto-tune vocals on this new track and the beat is hot but I don’t think many people are paying attention to Yung Berg anymore, but I guess he’s still trying to stay relevant. Check out his new video above.

I know many of you may have not heard of this girl named Natasha, but she had a very hot record that came out last year called “So Sick” featuring The Clipse. She really didn’t get any recognition for that record but she’s back with a new dance video. The name of her new single is titled “Sidekick.” You guys watch out for her. Check out her video above.

I just came across this dope Asian group called the Teriyaki Boyz. Apparently they have a single called “Work That” featuring Pharrell & Chris Brown. The beat and production is hot! Chris Brown wasn’t able to actually appear in the video but you do hear his vocals on the track. Check out the video above.

The rematch we’ve all been waiting for is finally here and under our christmas tree. My wish has come true. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics at home in the Staples Center. It’s been a great Christmas in the NBA. The Lakers has ended the 19 straight game winning streak the Celtics once held, shattering their high record. The star of the game, Kobe Bryant finished with 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Lakers won by a 9 point lead (92-83).  Sasha Vujajcic, who scored 10 points, claims he doesn’t like the Celtics … period.

“We’ve been waiting for that opportunity for a long time, and we won,” Vujacic said, “I don’t like them at all. A lot of people called us softies or whatever. It doesn’t matter at all. We know what we can do.”

Dwyane Wade brought real Christmas joy and hope to a local Miami family whose house had been accidentally torched by a South Florida woman’s nephew.  Most, if not all, of their possessions were destroyed in the fire. Ironically, Wade, the Miami’s Heat Guard, decided he had to help this family out with not only shelter but a huge Christmas wish … a home. Along with the home, Wade furnished the house, replaced clothing and even a few gifts under the tree. Wade spoke about the teachings that can be greater than just materialism.

“That’s what I try to teach my kids,” Wade continued. “It’s not about what you’re going to receive – It’s what you can give others from what you’ve recieved.”

It’s always good to see that successful celebrities have huge bank accounts and even bigger hearts.

Merry Christmas GOT Readers!

Kobe Bryant is back with another hot shoe and a hilarious commercial to match featuring some celebrity guests. Mike Epps and DJ AM make appearances in the new commercial. The shoe featured in this spot is also known as the Christmas Day iD which will be worn for the first time in the rematch against the Boston Celtics today, Christmas Day! Catch the game on ABC @ 5PM/ET. Check out the commercial above!

Go request the record on your local radio stations and buy the single on iTunes. In the video, Ciara gives us a sample of how her booklet would resemble a minature Super Ci comic book.

The cheating defending champions, the Boston Celtics, have accomplished their best streak in franchise to start a winning streak from 21-2. The Celtics defeated the New Orleans Hornets last night to win their 22-2 addition. Paul Pierce responded in joy of the recognition.

“It all goes out the window if we don’t win the championship,” Pierce said.

This year belongs to the Lakers. I’m not going to hop on the Celtics’ bandwagon, I’m sticking with my team (coughs) L.A. Lakers! But no haterade over here, congratulations Celtics. Enjoy … for now.

VIBE Magazine is releasing its end of the year issue and is doing it “Tabloid-Style” grubbing up all the obvious rumors circulating through the blogsphere and inquring minds. Spotlighting Chris Brown & Rihanna’s ‘close friendship’ is the perfect way to pop the issue off. This should be a pretty hot issue. You should see the new January 2008 issue on stands now!

Beyonce is not only dominating this year with the introduction of her alter-ego Sasha but she will also be covering the January 2009 issue of Elle Magazine. In this issue Beyonce compares her attitude and mood swing to her character Etta James in her new starring film Cadillac Records.

“I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life,” Beyonce continued, “My way of dealing with frustration is to shut down and to think and speak logically. But playing Etta was a time when I didn’t have to do that. I could be loud and let it rip.”

Houston Rockets’ guard Tracy McGrady will not be returning to the court until his full recovery of his left knee has healed. After starting the first 15 games after his arthroscopic surgery he had on his knee and returned to the court almost to re-injure his knee. Before McGrady left his was averaging 15 points per game.

“Obviously, I came back a little bit too early, I’m just not ready.” McGrady continued. “Now I’ve got some sort of peace of mind, I don’t have to worry about whether it’s going to take the whole season for me to get healthy and what I’ve got to do for me to get back to 100 percent. I don’t have to have to go under the knife again. I’m relieved.”

Hopefully T-Mac will get back on the court healthy and revved up full throttle.

PLAXICO BURRESS MAY CUT HIMSELF FROM THE NEW YORK GIANTS » due to the recent self-inflicted injury that recently occurred over the weekend. After shooting himself Saturday he turned himself in for not having proper weapon possession papers. Not only is he facing years in prison, he also might be facing the fact that he’ll no longer be a player on the Giants. This has not been the only offense Burress has committed during his time with the Giants. The NFL policy on gun possession includes:

“And if you violate a public law covering weapons, for example possession of an unlicensed firearm, you are not only subject to discipline, including suspension from playing, but also subject to criminal prosecution.”

This may be the end for Burress but he has not been convicted of any charges as of yet. His career may be battered but could also still be intact. Only time will tell…

I feel no one can use the vocoder or vocalizer like him. With tracks like “Blowing Up“ featuring Ciara, “Therapy” featuring Kanye West, “It Ain’t Me“ featuring T.I. and Akon, it’s possible that any track on the album is potentially a hit single. Aside from his singles, “Can’t Believe It“ featuring Lil’ Wayne, “Chopped & Skrewed“ featuring Ludacris, and “Freeze“ featuring Chris Brown, you can smoothly flow into the album with a nice transition. You can truly listen to each song on the album without a skip besides the skits.
