Here is new music from Gym Class Heroes featuring The-Dream. ‘Cookie Jar‘ is said to be the first single lifted from GCH’s forthcoming album, The Quilt. The song is very radio friendly, thanks to The-Dream’s melodic hook which seems similar to T-Pain‘s ‘Buy U a Drank‘ song.
KATY PERRY is ONE OF THE BOYS; officially debuting her album internationally on Capitol Music Group, Perry executes the new wave generation of music today with chart-topping hits like ‘? Ur So Gay‘ (G. Wells) and ‘? I Kissed a Girl‘ (L. Gottwald). One of the Boys is electro, it’s pop, it’s garage band, it’s everything! Collectively collaborating with such notable producers as Greg Wells and Luke ‘Dr. Luke’ Gottwald, among many others, it’s probable that this album would include no fillers! Almost every track has potential to be a hit. One of the Boys is in stores now.
(PHOTOS: SPLASHNEWS) My boy Kobe Bryant needs to be nominated for the father of the year award for how much time he spends with his kids on and off the court. It’s good to see a black man actually be a father to his kids. More props to K.B. for this one. As you can see Kobe isn’t “moved” by what Shaq had to say last week about him losing the finals. All I can say is ‘next year”. And people say Kobe isn’t a stand-up guy…

He’s only a freshman getting recognized by the NBA. He played for the Memphis Tigers in the NCAA. Derrick Rose didn’t show no shyness away from being picked first in the NBA Draft:
“I’m so competitive. I always have that little thing in my mind that I want to be number one.”
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA // THURSDAY, JUNE 26TH » A lot of folks are getting new haircuts, huh? LOL. Here is Chris Brown shopping with his “BFF” Rihanna in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon. Thanks Toya for the pictures, love. And thanks B. Scott for confirming that Chris has, indeed, gone blonde! Man, I have some good eyes y’all, I knew he went blonde from the BET Awards. But, you know, this actually works for him IMO.

Fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons wants her ex-husband, Phat Farm CEO Russell Simmons, to pay up! To the tune of $40,000 per month, that is. In documents filed Tuesday, which were obtained by TMZ in L.A. Superior Court, KLS is demanding a whopping $20k per month in child support, per child, up until the year 2019 (for Ming Lee) and 2022 (for Aoki Lee). That’s $6 million total over the next 14 years, for all of you math wizzes out there.
I’ve always thought Kimora was money hungry, but damn … this takes the cake! She’s already rich as hell off her Baby Phat empire, and now she’s trying to cash in on being a baby mama. I’m all for child support, but when the mother is already making a more than comfortable living, the father shouldn’t be obligated to pay THAT much. $40,000 a month? That’s nuts!
Diddy still has some dues to pay to Ciroc for not sticking to their deal and promoting their brand to the fullest, so he and the Vodka company threw an afterparty for the 2008 BET Awards Tuesday night in L.A. at the Roosevelt Hotel. Guestlist included: Lil’ Kim, Lil Wayne, Michelle Williams, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Ashanti, and more! Follow the break for more flicks from the shindig…
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!!!

Barack on the music he grew up on:
If I had one musical hero, it would have to be Stevie Wonder,†says Obama, who grew up on Seventies R&B and rock staples including Earth, Wind and Fire, Elton John and the Rolling Stones.
The 2008 BET Awards aired last night and yours truly is here to inform you of the hottest (and not so hot) styles worn at the award show. Some of the best dressed female celebs of the night were Rihanna, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Hudson, and Alicia Keys. Rihanna wore a neon yellow Giambattista Valli dress from his spring/summer 2008 line, Gabrielle Union wore a gorgeous white Celine Vonn dress, Jennifer Hudson wore A brown Peter Soronen corset dress, and Alicia Keys wore a strapless pink David Meister David Meister dress with Melody Ehsani Hate/Love Rings. I also loved Alicia’s Sergio Rossi heels. Keep reading for more styles from the show.

Here are photos of Nelly, Solange, Cassie, and Lil’ Mama arriving at the 2008 BET Awards. Who approved of the Little Miss Bo Peep look Lil’ Mama calls herself wearing? I’m starting to think she does this shit for attention, lol. And she should be severely punished for bringing an innocent child into the mix. Just wrong! More flicks after the break…
In this edition of “Who Owns the Look” we have Actress Lauren London and singer T-Boz rocking the same pair of $995 black laced-up Givenchy ankle booties. Lauren wore the shoes first while at the 2008 BET Awards Pre Party , while T-Boz wore them while walking the 2008 BET Awards Red Carpet. So we must ask the question … WHO OWNS THE LOOK?
