Call him “DJ Yeezy World Peace.”

Kanye West deejayed a set for the grand opening of 1 OAK at the Mirage in Las Vegas Saturday night (Dec 31) on new Year’s Eve, just one week after the rapper showed off his deejaying skills for the first time ever at a private Christmas party in London.

In Sin City this past weekend, under the pseudonym DJ Yeezy World Peace, Kanye played an eclectic mix of music that included the biggest hits of 2011, as well as classics from Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

According to Rap-Up, Yeezy was joined by his “All of the Lights” collaborator Fergie, who hosted the party, as well as G.O.O.D. Music rappers Big Sean and Kid Cudi (not pictured).

“Black Eyed Peas is a family. We are friends, and we helped each other get here – and you guys are an extension of that friendship. We are here in this stadium today representing family and love, a day before Thanksgiving, and we thank you guys for the love,” BEP frontman Will.i.am shared with the sold-out crowd.

“We are not breaking up,” Taboo told Reuters on Monday, with Apl.de.ap adding, “We’re going to take a little vacation and focus on our personal things.”

Other performers who shared the stage with the Peas Wednesday night were Queen Latifah, Cee-Lo Green, Sean Kingston, T-Pain, Jason Derulo and Flo Rida (not pictured).

“Who did Justin Timberlake’s mom catch him having sex with?” is the question burning in everyone’s minds following a revelation in a recent interview for the August 2011 issue of Elle Magazine.

The “Friends with Benefits” star told Elle: “I was caught … My mom wasn’t cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl.” But who was he caught with? Could it have been one of his former girlfriends Britney Spears or Black Eyed Peas front-woman Fergie?

Timberlake dated Spears when they were 18 … but they met when they were just 12 on the set of “The Mickey Mouse Club.” As far as Fergie is concerned, Justin dated her prior to his relationship with Spears when he was 16 and she was 23.

Justin Timberlake’s reps have declined to comment, according to Page Six.

The Black Eyed Peas cover the latest issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. In the issue, the group’s front-man Will.i.am claims that he helped end a 25-year-old feud between Michael Jackson and Prince. The 35-year-old singer worked with the King of Pop before he died last year and talks about reuniting Prince and MJ at a Prince concert a couple of years back:

Two years ago, Prince invited Will.i.am to sit in with him at a show in Las Vegas. Will asked if he could invite a singer-songwriter he was working with – Michael Jackson, who Will says had a beef with Prince running back to a 1983 misunderstanding at a James Brown concert. Jackson showed. “I told Quincy, and he was like, ‘I can’t believe you got Mike to go there,’” says Will.i.am. “Prince and Michael Jackson? Come on dude. That’s connecting worlds.”

For more on the Black Eyed Peas, pick up the April 2010 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, which is on newsstands now.

Today the Black Eyed Peas released their new space-aged dual music video “Imma Be Rocking That Body,” which is a combination of two of their songs “Imma Be” and “Rock That Body.” Continue reading to check out the brand new 10-minute video, which was directed by Rich Lee.

The music video for “We Are the World: 25 for Haiti” debuted Friday night (Feb 12) during the opening ceremony for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

This version of the song, featuring vocals from Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Wayne, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, T-Pain, Usher, Wyclef Jean and much more, is much more contemporary than the original but it fits today’s music era. The song’s original writer and singer Michael Jackson also appears in the song and video (his sister Janet sings the first chorus with footage of Mike thrown in). They also kept one of MJ’s original parts and show footage of him singing it (Nice!).

The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

The video shows footage of Haiti and the efforts surrounding its repair, along with footage of the artists mentioned above and more recording the song in the studio. Check it out below…

Take Our Poll

The Black Eyed Peas kicked off their first tour since 2006 Thursday night (Feb 4) in Atlanta at the Philips Arena. During the show, which featured an opening set from ATL’s own Ludacris, BEP’s Will.i.am said that they chose to open the tour in Atlanta because they’re what’s hot right now so what better place to kick off the tour than “Hotlanta?”

“When they told us the tour was going to start in Atlanta some of my friends were like huh? Why don’t you start in L.A. or New York?” the group’s will.i.am said at one point. “I said because the Black Eyed Peas are hot right now. It’s got to be Hotlanta!”

Whoops, their bad!

The Black Eyed Peas were accidentally named “Best International Group” at the 2010 NRJ Music Awards by singer Ke$ha and French choreographer Kamel Quali, who apologized after they realized they had announced the wrong band as the winners. The real winners were German band Tokio Hotel, and the mix-up happened because the card apparently listed the nominees AND the winner. Quali told the booing crowd to blame organizers, and not him and Ke$ha, because they shouldn’t have listed the winner and the nominees on the same card to begin with.

BEP still took home an award though. Their 2009 track “I Gotta Feeling” won the award for “Best International Song,” which is ironic because just last year a song of Katy Perry‘s was accidentally awarded the same honor, when it was really intended for Rihanna. And speaking of Rihanna, the singer performed her single “Russian Roulette” and won her own award: “Best International Female.”

Meanwhile, singer Beyonce won the award for “Artist of the Decade” at the show, held Saturday night (Jan 23) in Cannes, France at the Palais des Festivals. Producer/rapper Pharrell Williams presented her with the big award. More pics/videos from the 2010 NRJ Music Awards below…

Usher performing “In This Club” as the opener for the 2008 BET Awards, which aired last night live from Los Angeles.

The 2008 BET Awards went down last night, and while there were a few lackluster performances (Usher’s being one of them), there were a few memorable, surprising, and exciting moments. One being Alicia Keys’ performance when she brought out SWV, En Vogue, and TLC! Another notable performance of the evening was Ne-Yo‘s, where he showed us he can hang with the big dogs when it comes to his dance moves – he even brought out the Jabbawockees (winners of MTV’s America’s Dance Crew). Chris Brown did his thing as well, and surprised everyone when he brought out Ciara. Did Rihanna approve of this beforehand? I’m curious to know. And speaking of Rihanna, did anyone else notice how far she’s come along, as far as her live vocals? I was really impressed when she performed Take A Bow! And last, but most certainly not least, on my list of the best performances of the night, Lil’ Wayne! He kind of scared me towards the end of the show because it seemed like he wasn’t going to come out. The show was already running 15 or 20 minutes over when he was introduced. But he did come out, and he showed us exactly how and why he has sold nearly 1,500,000 copies of Tha Carter: III so far! He started out with Got Money (feat. T-Pain), paid homage to Static Major (R.I.P.) with Lollipop, and ended off his performance with A Millie. He had the whole crowd hyped, and ended off the show perfectly.

While the 2008 BET Awards did have its good moments, much of the show left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I expected a lot more from Usher. His performance was probably the most hyped up (pre-show), and ended up being one of the absolute worst of the night. While I love Keyshia Cole‘s Heaven Sent, she really needs to work on her live vocals … and her stage presence. She had a lot of energy, she just didn’t know how to keep it all together. She looked like she was doing too much to me.

In my opinion, the 2007 BET Awards were much better. The performances, the overall show, and oh yeah … the host! Who the hell approved of D.L. Hughley being the host of this year’s show? I hope they received a pink slip in their box this morning. BRING MO’NIQUE BACK!!!

(Photos: Ben Rose / Wire Image) Hotlanta was full of unsigned talent and the biggest names in hip-hop Thursday night (Apr. 24th). Atlanta’s Luckie Lounge was host to the 11th Annual BMI Atlanta Unsigned Urban Showcase, which featured performances from Lil’ Wayne, Sean Garrett and Teyana Taylor. But Usher, Lil Scrappy, Polow Da Don, Lil John, and a host of celebrities (from Atlanta and beyond) came out just to party!

Polow Da Don is filling up those pockets, I see! He makes a cameo appearance in Nelly‘s new video for Party People, the Polow-produced track featuring singer Fergie, which is the debut single from Nelly’s 5th studio album, Brass Knuckles. The album is currently looking at a June 24th 2008 release.

Singer Fergie and Movie Director Quentin Tarantino celebrated their birthdays in Sin City at The Mirage Hotel and Casino on Thursday night. Celebs like Vivica A. Fox, Polow Da Don, Nelly, Keyshia Cole and many more came out to party with the pair. Looks like they had a lot of fun!

Party People by Nelly will be the second single from the album Brass Knuckles, set to be released June 24, 2008. The song features vocals from Fergie and production by Polow Da Don.
