Nicole Scherzinger: Her Name is Nicole Cover/Second Single Update
AUDIO: NICOLE SCHERZINGER F/ WILL.I.AM – “BABY LOVE”
[audio:nicole_baby_love.mp3]
Above is said to be Nicole’s album art for her debut album Her Name is Nicole, not Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls (hints why I never say that), but JUST Nicole peeps! Ehh, I don’t know about the cover art, it looks natural . . . but almost forced. Plus, I saw some much better photos they could’ve used for the album’s cover art. Nicole recently stated that she, personally, would like “Baby Love” to be the next single from her album. The song features great production (as well as guest appearance) by your boy will.i.am, to me, I think I like this better than “Super Villain”. What do you guys think about the cover and “possible” second single?
Oh, So We’re Stealing Now?
Astonished bystanders witnessed the troubled singer we know as Amy Crackhouse whip a magazine off a shop shelf in a convenience store in Camden, North London, and leave, apparently without paying! After paying for a few items, she quickly glanced over her shoulder before grabbing a copy of the New Musical Express from the shelf and leaving. BITCH, PUT IT BACK! YOU AIN’T PAY FA’ DAT! Home girl just better be glad she didn’t try that shit over here. Habib who owns half of the 7-11’s in the US would’ve busted a cap in her ass. Shoot first, ask questions later! And that’s him on a good day…
A Good Deed Doesn’t Go Unnoticed … Especially When There Are Cameras Around!
I don’t know what to make of this. Now, I’m not one to judge how genuine a person is, but c’mon man, $10 and some quotas (quarters)? These cats just came from the Louis Vuitton store on Rodeo Dr. and a homeless (?) man in a wheelchair came up to them, and they hand him $10 and some change while the paparazzi snaps away. They coulda at least spotted home boy a 20! But at least they didn’t snub him, like most folk do LOL.
Can Omarion and Bow Wow be your Designated Driver?
AUDIO: OMARION + BOW WOW – “DESIGNATED DRIVER”
[audio:omarion_bow_wow-designated_driver.mp3]
Hit makers Omarion and Bow Weezy both team up on this collaborative track, “Designated Driver,” from their best-of-both-worlds album Face Off [1], [2] set to be release later on this year. My question is . . . what the hell happen to Omarion’s next single?! I don’t think his latest album, 21, did that bad now!
UPDATE FROM DUSTIN » A friend of mine, who is close to Bow Wow, told me that Bow Wow’s away message on his sidekick yesterday read: “Meeting with diddy … bout 2 get dis paper.” Hmm… 😉
MTV VMA 2007 EXCLUSIVE: KANYE WEST’S PHOTOSHOOT!
Our boy Kanye is a part of an ’07 VMA campaign that features the big performers in a photoshoot by world renown photographer David LaChapelle! The VMAs air on Sept 9th live from Live Vegas, and I’m hearing these ads will be plastered all over Sin City come next week. Chris Brown, Rihanna, the Foo Fighters, and Fall Out Boy are also a part of this promotional campaign, and I’m working on getting those photos too! So check back here soon. You know we got you!! 😉
Amy Winehouse … Pre-Crack!
Here are some photos I found of Amy Winehouse in her younger days … before she was introduced to crack! She was pretty cute! It’s so sad how her life turned out now. She’s in and out of rehab, short on cash, and just a complete and utter mess. Home girl needs to get it together. AND GET RID OF THAT DAMN BEEHIVE! Check out more snaps of Amy Winehouse in her younger days after the cut!
Beyonce, Tina, and Solange Launch Dereon in Canada!
The Knowles clan launched their teen line “Dereon” in Toronto, Canada the other day. You definitely can’t knock these ladies’ hustle! They stay on the grind! And is it just me, or does Solange look a little brownish-golden? Lol… Looks like home girl had a bad day at the tanning salon to me!
Nicole Richie Shows Off Her Baby Bump in NY, Rihanna in New York, and Bill Clinton Chilling in Paris
Nicole Richie was spotted spending some time in New York City. She enjoyed lunch at a trendy downtown restaurant then went for a workout at Equinox gym. Is that a baby bump?? In other NR news, she and Joel Madden are supposedly engaged, or are headed to that way soon. Or at least that’s what I’m hearing! I’ll keep you updated…
Yung Joc: Hustlenomics Cover/ Second Single Update
AUDIO: YUNG JOC F/ GORILLA ZOE – “BOTTLES POPP’N”
[audio:yung_joc-bottle_poppin.mp3]
This is the official album cover to Yung Joc’s Hustlenomics, in stores August 28th, it looks really dope! Now as far as the second single, I can’t tell you at this point, but it looks like “Bottles Popp’n” is in the lead (with 41 percent)! Now if I were in a position to pick singles, I’d probably choose that over “Hell Yeah,” (which is not to far behind with 34 percent) to me “Bottles Popp’n” is radio friendly and Joc . . . I don’t know if that just made any sense to you but o’well! Enjoy peeps.

JAY-Z’S THE RICHEST MUHF*CKA ON THE SCENE! » News has been pretty damn slow this week … which is why there haven’t been many rundown posts. Go figure. Anyhow, I scrounged up some for today’ s rundown. Enjoy! First up is Jay-Z, who was dubbed the king of hip-hop cash! Homeboy grabbed the #1 spot in the 2006 Forbes List for Hip-Hop Cash Kings at a net worth amounting up to $34 million. Other kings who made the list include: (2) 50 Cent – $32 million, (3) Diddy – $28 million, (4) Timbaland – $24 million, (5) Dr. Dre – $20 million, (6) Eminem – $18 million, (7) Snoop Dogg – $17 million, (8) Kanye West – $17 million, (9) Pharrell Williams – $17 million, (10) Scott Storch – $17 million, (11) Ludacris – $16 million, (12) T.I. – $16 million, (13) Outkast – $14 million, (14) Lil Jon – $14 million, (15) Ice Cube – $13 million, (16) Jermaine Dupri – $12 million, (17) Swizz Beatz – $12 million, (18) Chamillionaire – $11 million, (19) The Game – $11 million, (20) Yung Joc $10 million. The numbers don’t lie! Hip hop diva Cam’Ron didn’t make the cut, because unfortunately … the list here stops at 20. Had it gone on to 1,400, he’d be number 1,399 at a net worth of $2.63. Who’s number 1,400 you ask? Well, that’s for me to know and you to find out!

30 Years Later and People STILL Care About You!
Now you know you’re important when on the the 30th anniversary of your death, hundreds, if not, thousands of people travel all the way to Memphis to honor you in memorials, candle light vigils, and whatever else they can think of. I’m talking about Elvis here, people! And you know the impersonators had to show up and show out too, hah! And apparently, Elvis is the WHITE PEOPLE’S 2-PAC! Just as most black folk claim that Tupac Shakur is still alive and well … just in hiding, a lot of crazy white folk say the same about Elvis! Anyhow, wouldn’t we all like to be loved and remembered like that when we go?
