After being shrouded in secrecy, the official trailer for the hit comedy The Hangover has finally arrived. Phil (Cooper), Stu (Helms), Alan (Galifianakis) and Doug (Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.
The Hangover Part 2 stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike Tyson, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Liam Neeson and Bryan Callen and will be in theaters on May 26.
Earlier this week I premiered the trailer of the new MTV series reboot Teen Wolf, and it's being reported that a gay character will be included on the show. Teen Wolf was given a makeover from the horror/comedy that starred Michael J. Fox in the 80's into a more serious drama in the vein of popular CW series, The Vampire Diaries. The gay character Danny, is surprisingly not being played by Colton Haynes, who played a werewolf from the short-lived ABC series The Gates. Haynes set the blogs afire back in '09 when shirtless pics of the actor making out with another man leaked all over the internet. The role of Danny will be played by Keahu Kahuanui.
Danny is the best friend of Jackson (Colton Haynes) who is at least initially rivals with the show's hero Scott McCall (Tyler Posey). Danny is out (yay!) and both he and Jackson play on the school's lacrosse team.
Teen Wolf airs on Sunday, June 5 right after the MTV Movie Awards. More on this story as it develops.
The music industry's most stiffly popular Bajan pop star Rihanna graces the cover of Rolling Stone, and in the article she opens up about everything from why she loosened up her buttons on the Chris Brown restraining order to how she's got an obsession with dick (don't we all).
On easing the restraining order:
“That’s my decision. It doesn’t mean we’re gonna make up, or even talk again. It just means I didn’t want to object to the judge… [Chris Brown and I] don’t have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn’t want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did to me was a personal thing – it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can’t perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn’t care. But you can never please people. One minute I’m being too hard, and the next minute I’m a fool because I’m not being hard enough.”
On not being with anyone since breaking up with Matt Kemp in December:
“I’m not dating. I’m not sexing, I’m not even sexting. It’s on complete nil… You think you’re disappointed? Try being in this body… When you’re not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing. Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you’re alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy… I haven’t gotten a dick picture in a long time. I think people are a little afraid. It can turn out bad.”
On being into S&M:
“I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs… I’d rather have him use his hands… I do think I’m a bit of a masochist. It’s not something I’m proud of, and it’s not something I noticed until recently. I think it’s common for people who witness abuse in their household. They can never smell how beautiful a rose is unless they get pricked by a thorn.”
Damn RiRi you making it sound like you could launch your own version of Guyswithiphones from all the peen pics you get. It also seems that Rihanna is discovering darker sexual sides of herself after the puppeteers over at Def Jam introduced her to the subject matter she's currently singing from the Loud album. Also can someone please hack into RiRi's phone so we can get our hands on those dick pics, mmmkay?
It was bound to happen sooner or later and I definitely saw this coming. After leaving the side of Rachel Zoe to pursue other opportunities within the fashion industry, word on the street is that Zoe's former assistant Brad Goreski has just inked a deal with Bravo for his own reality show. His show will be called It’s a Brad Brad World, and cameras will follow him as he launches his own business and juggles the crazy world of fashion with a personal life, something he hinted to when he was working long hours for Zoe.
Bravo has also picked up a few new show called Mad Fashion, starring former Project Runway contestant Chris March;Tabatha Takes Over, a spinoff of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover; and Project Soulmate, a New York based matchmaking show. As long as there are no more Real Housewives spin-offs on the horizon you can count me in as a viewer.
It's only been less than a week since celebrity stylist/Bravolebrity Rachel Zoe shot her designer baby from her couture snatch, and already she's unleashed a brand new photo with newborn Skyler Morrison Bergman and husband Rodger via her website. If her reality show will be returning for a third season, I am curious as to how Rachel handled being pregnant and dealing with her annoying husband after he practically threatened divorce because she wouldn't make him a daddy.
Check out Swedish electro duo Royksopp's performance of their song Shores of Easy on KCRW, which clocks in at an extensive 14+ minutes. I love when songs are 12 inches or more, and I hope Royksopp and other electronic bands will continue to drop lengthy track beyond the standard three and a half.

The very sexy hip hop duo FreakyBoiz, who sound like a hot thug boy website I need to check out have made a big name for themselves on YouTube with their controversial makeover of today's hottest hip hop tracks. What the native Chicago duo, Pierre 'PrinceCharming' Phipps and Terrence 'TTgotit' Wilson have done is create buzz for themselves by turning some of your favorite rap songs into racy gay-loving tales involving some hot explicit sexcapades.
So far Phipps and Wilson have uploaded three videos to their account, and already they've received an outpour of fans and the usual "haters" who feel gays should not be incorporated with the hip hop movement. They also feel that with their explicit lyrics regarding same sex love it's promoting promiscuity in the LGBT community. Sorry to burst your bubble, but homohop has been aroud for years and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It's should also be made haters, but it needs to be made clear that we, like straight people love sex. So just because a supposed "straight" rapper talks about how much pussy he's run through it's ok, while gays have to keep quiet?
I love and have supported the gay hip hop movement on my site as well as many other websites and radio shows for many years and will continue to do so. You either jump on board or go sit in a corner where you belong. My question is this? How long before Diddy snatches them up and signs them to a nowhere career at Bad Boy because if I had a label I would definitely sign them.
For more information, you can check out their youtube page and follow them on Twitter @PrinceCharmingP and @Ttgotit). Also check out some of their work below...
New York magazinehad reported an alleged celebrity spotting of Lady Gaga yesterday leaving a Guess boutique in Las Vegas dressed in regular girl's clothes.
"It remains unclear if this alleged Lady Gaga went out looking like a normal American girl in an attempt to disguise herself and throw off her mobs of rabid fans, who, Guess says, were kept under control by five security guards while the store was shut down so that this normal-looking "Lady Gaga" could shop."
The reason why I stayed away from this story is because I knew it wasn't Gaga. I remember in earlier interviews where Gaga clearly said you would never catch her out in the street wearing jeans and a t-shirt, since everything she does is living performance art. But since we have an idea of who the impersonator is, we can talk about it. And no it isn't Sherry Vine.
Come to find out, Gaga was in Vegas doing it big for her 25th birthday in Miami Beach while this impersonator, who turned out to be Amy N. Evans, a singer who has performed at the Evangelical Christian megachurch Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale. I'm guessing the security comes courtesy of the church's hard-paying clergy?
Says Page Six: "The imposter rolled up to Big Pink restaurant with four SUVs and a security detail of 10. Once her security did a sweep, the blonde look-alike enjoyed breakfast. The poor man's Gaga then caused chaos at French Connection in South Beach, where, a spy said, "Salespeople flocked to assist her, even helping her try on clothes for 30 minutes. She was swarmed by fans screaming 'Happy Birthday!' " And Guess rep Alina Hauptman sent a breathless press release complete with a photo of faux Gaga at their Lincoln Road store, saying, "The crowd was getting so out of control that security needed to shut down the store so Lady Gaga could browse . . . [she] purchased the Lucy Lace Skirt."
I don't get why this girl needs more security than Lady Gaga, when clearly no one knows who this donkey is outside of the wingnut Evangelical community. Also if she paid with credit card, don't thy know her guv'ment name is Stefani Joanne Germanotta? Whatever happened to real investigative reporting? I wonder how Ms. Stefani feels about being compared to the crazies of the Evangelical community?
With a rise in HIV and a booming business in the bareback porn industry, ex-porn star Jack Ryan opened up to the Advocate about being drug free and the guilt he felt for doing bareback porn, his thoughts on HIV+ porn star Mason Wyler's transition into bareback movies, and why he urges everyone to not only practice safe sex, but to support safe sex movies. Great article by the way.
COMMENTARY: Someone just messaged me on Facebook to say I am a role model to them, and that excites me and scares me at the same time. I did porn to rebel and not be normal, but even in rebelling, you gotta keep boundaries.
Safe sex is a must.
For those of you who don't know, I did a bareback movie in 2008. I'm not gonna even mention the studio or the title, because I do not want anyone to purchase it, and I don't want to promote it.
At the time I choose to do it, I had just lost my mother and my dog to cancer, within a year of each other. I was using hard drugs to dull the pain. I became an addict and did self destructive things because I no longer cared. Not that this is an excuse, but drugs really screw up your sense of right and wrong.
I was offered more than double what I used to make doing scenes in porn to do bareback. Many thousands of dollars for a two-hour scene. It was a top scene, but one can still contract HIV through topping. It's less of a risk, but still a big risk.
You can read the rest of the article by heading over to the Advocate website.
PJ has unleashed a brand new vide for Written on the Forehead, 24 hours after unleashing the MV for England. PJ's latest video for Let England Shake is available wherever music is sold.
Kristine Elezaj, who in my opinion is a proper successor to the Britney throne has unleashed her new video for Warpath, a track that hit the web back in September. Kristine brings the heat as she gyrates those hips and whips her hair harder than Willow Smith. Like my girl Erika Jayne, I need a full-length album from Kristine because she definitely knows how to bring the sexy and the performance without coming across as desperate. I think the time has come for Britney to give up lip-syncing for her life and allows someone else who is clearly hungry for the spotlight to take the wheel. Her vids just keep getting better and better.
While begging to get a temporary hall pass from Tom Cruise so that she can be let off the compound long enough to promote the ReelzChannel miniseries about The Kennedy's, zombie Kate chatted with Ellen Degeneres about the escandalo photo of Suri Cruise holding a box of penis candy. The Stepford wife of Scientology claimed she had no idea they were penis candy, and thought they were Swedish Fish. The actress has been so lobotomized she couldn't even bring herself to say the word penis out loud, instead spelling it as if she may have switched brains with her daughter, who is clearly running the Cruise household.
Here is zombie Kate's qoute
"Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It's for kids. The clientele is children. We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified.
They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like ok, wow we don't need that right now. Because I thought if I said put that back and then she's going to say, what is this? And I really didn't want to have that conversation. I was like, why are selling these here? This is for kids. And then it was on the cover of a magazine that I'm giving her those gummies."
I think it's time someone sit zombie Katie down and force her to look at a collage of penises so that she can for once in her life learn what one is and what one looks like.
After what seemed like a 12 year wait, Katy Perry has finally unleashed her latest music video for E.T., which just kicked Lady Gaga's shit single Born This Way off the #1 spot. The video also features an appearance by the always entertaining Kanye West. Take note Gaga: This is how you incorporate an alien species into your music video. Check out the video below and let me know what you think. Anyways, Teenage Dream is in stores now.

Last night at Sh*tshow at Bowery Poetry Club in the East Village, Moby sat down with host Daniel Nardicio on his popular show who then asked asked the legendary electronic DJ/producer if he's ever taken a dip into the peen pond.
"My sexual orientation?" Moby replied.
"Well..."
"...I was born in New York City and I've lived here for a long time," he declared as the crowd cheered.
While I am still confused of his answer if he's gay or bi, Moby did deliver one of the most hilarious quotes last night. "The best line a guy has ever used to pick me up was telling me he used to date Jeffrey Dahmer so could he give me a blowjob"
Whatever you are into, I still got love for you Mobes. His new album 'Destroyed' will be in stores on May 17, and he also lends his remix magic to a track on the 'Tron: Legacy Reconfigur3d' album. Check out the video for 'Sevastopol' below...
Europe's hottest electronic duo Jupiter have unleashed their brand spankin' new video for their song Sake, which shows the ladies bringing some of that Ke$ha cheekiness and not taking themselves so seriously like so many mainstream pop stars.
The video incorporates some hilarious modern dance moves to some shimmified retro dance funk.
If you like what you hear, you can cop their "Sake EP" is available now off Kitsune on iTunes, and it features some really eclectic remixes, so check it out!
Now that I've calmed down from obsessing over K-pop hotties G-Dragon and T.O.P., I have become obsessed with another hot buy group from Korea, the very sexy SHINee, who are like the Backstreet Boys of Korea (circa 2001). Seeing that there's a big uprise of groups in Korea with their sexy performers, together vocals, tight choreography and sleek pop, it makes me wonder with the success of a show like Glee how come there's no surge of boybands and girl groups on the American charts? Anyways, SHINee will release a new album later this year.
While I sit and wonder, check out their video for their 2010 hits Lucifer and RingDingDong below...
A few weeks ago, we got our first look at Adrianne Palicki dressed in her costume as the title character for the NBC pilot "Wonder Woman" from executive producer David E. Kelley. The blogs went insane over the cheap-looking Halloween costume she was wearing, and from the looks of Adrienne in action, I have to say the costume has been much-improved. Let's just hope the show isn't a disappointment. Check out some exclusive photos courtesy of Comingsoon.net and some behind-the-scenes footage courtesy of YouTube.
MTV has world premiered a brand new trailer for their new original series Teen Wolf, which is based on the 80's film starring Michael J. Fox. I'm guessing it will be a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Hard Times of RJ Berger. with a dash of the Vampire Diaries thrown in for good measure. I have to say it's a way better predecessor than the American version of the flaccid Skins series MTV overhyped to ratings failure. The series, which stars Tyler Posey and Crystal Reed will premiere on Sunday, June 5, at 11/10c after the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.
According to Bloody-Disgusting, the carnivorous fish of Piranha 3D are currently looking for a new location to film the upcoming sequel, Piranha 3DD.
Primarily, they'll be feasting on flesh in the waters of a waterpark, says B-D. Says the site's source, the fish will find their way through pipes to get to the park.
I'm not familiar with waterparks, but if I'm not mistaken they're geared towards more family oriented people. I'm guessing there will be less nudity than the damn-near XXX-plicit Alexandre Aja remake?
John Gulager will direct the sequel based on a script by Feast writers Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton and Joel Soisson. I like that John Gulager is directing, but if they can't go over-the-top with the nudity and the gore like John did in his Feast trilogy then they need to scrap the waterpark plot altogether. Otherwise can't wait for the sequel since I loved the original (Roger Corman and Alexandre Aja versions).
The very sexy pop singer Baker has unleashed a brand new video for his sexy new dance single All I'm Gonna Say, which co-stars Caprica actress Alessandra Torresani. The track was co-written by Baker and Damon Sharpe (J.Lo, Kylie) and was produced by the legendary Cutfather, who gave us the amazing but commercial Kylie flop Get Outta My Way.
First it was John Legend and now Wonderland has covered Adele's hit single Rolling In The Deep from her sophomore album 21. How great would it be to have so many talented performers share their amazing versions of RITD?
While Ricky Martin is being called hell's embassador by some sexually frustrated evangelical in Puerto Rico, the shirtless singer took three steps back into the closet while making out with a few of his female dancers on stage.
Sorry but if you've come out of the closet and you've pretty much stated that you're not into women on a sexual level, wouldn't it have made sense to mouth rape one of your male dancers instead? With his recent pairing with anti-gay chain Target and this confusing message he's conveying on his tour, I'm really starting to see Ricky for the whoremongering, money hungry mental hot mess that he is.
Katy Perry has unleashed some behind-the-scenes footage of her Cotton Candy world tour and while I can't stand the soud of her live vocal, I have to say her tour looks quite fun. Also her long-awaited video E.T. with Kanye West will air tomorrow on MTV.
While we continue to wait for KRow to unleash her long-delayed third album, the singer has been keeping her name in the spotlight with her ferosh collaborations with Europe's hottest DJ's. As usual the new generation's Donna Summer delivers a stellar vocal over a fierce beat from Danish DJ Rune RK. While Commander was a great song with a terrible video, I feel Free Fall is a nice predecessor to When Love Takes Over.
Here is short video number six out of twelve that PJ Harvey us doing to promote music from her brilliant new album Let England Shake. The vid, of course was directed by Seamus Murphy.
While some of us are watching Aubrey O' Day work hard at a solo comeback on her hit Oxygen reality series All About Aubrey, it's been reported by That Grape Juice the the former Danity Kane singer has inked a solo deal with Universal records. So we should be prepared to get a few musical cameos from labelmates Akon, Mary J Blige,Ray J, Shontelle, Kelly Rowland and whomever else is on the roster in the future.
I liked the songs that Aubrey was performing on her new show, especially Automatic and Hitch hiker and I love Gil's sassy choreography. As long as she brings the urban pop/international dance that best suits her aesthetic, I'll be the first one buying her new record. Congrats Aubrey. Your hard work has finally paid off.
You can catch Aubrey’s reality show “All About Aubrey” every Monday night on Oxygen.
French duo Justice have returned with a ferosh new single called Civilization, which was just unleashed yesterday for download on iTunes France. I immediately thought of early Daft Punk upon first listen, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Civilization has already been featured in a commercial for Adidas, which features cameos from every sports person you can think of. Check out Justice's kick-ass new single below and make sure you pick up their album when it drops later this year.
Britbot's seventh album Femme Fatale was unleashed all over the world this week, and a new song Scary has hit the web. The track is a bonus track on the Japanese edition.
Also check out another messy live performance and redeemingly funny skits on Jimmy Kimmel last night.
Jennifer Lopez continues her international travelations and channels her inner Rihanna on the island-flavored second single I'm Into You taken from her highly-anticipated seventh album Love? While I still can't get the RedOne-produced Invading My Mind out of my head, I think this is a perfect transition from her hard-hitting smash, On The Floor. Since Britney's not bringing it as a performer and would rather sleepwalk through her performances, it's the perfect time for JLo to snatch her crown off her mediocre head. So make yourself a margarita and tune into the Stargate-produced track below...
MTV debuted the commercial for her Britney Spears: I Am The Femme Fatale special that will air on Sunday at 9. In the special she gives fans a behind-the-scenes look into the making of her album, a peek at the Till The World Ends music video, and talks about how much she loves to perform, although her lack of stage presence and the inability to put energy into her choreography say otherwise. Also you get to see her performance at Rain in Vegas last week where she was introduced by DJ Pauly D (who is managed by Britney's managers).
While many queens are hating on RuPaul's Drag Race 2&3 contestant Shangela Laquifa Whatley over the fact that she has no sense of drag style, it seems her hilarious outlook on life and her famous Halleloo moniker has pushed her further into the spotlight. EW is reporting that Shangela aka DJ Pierce, who was eliminated on last night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race (but may return on Monday when the judjes will choose which eliminated queen can come back and compete once more) has just been cast in a new NBC series called A Mann's World starring Don Johnson.
Johnson will play Allan Mann, a Beverly Hills hairdresser who is having trouble staying relevant and Shangela will play Snip, a top stylist who comes to work for Mann in his salon. Also starring on the series is Chris Crocker, who came to fame for his infamous Leave Britney Alone YouTube rants and is now embarking on a pop career with his debut EP The First Bite. Mario Cantone will also star on the show along with actress Ellen Barkin.Michael Patrick King (Sex & The City) will produce.
This is not DJ's first foray in the acting world, having guest starred on one of my favorite FX shows Terriers back in November (alongside the very sexy True Blood actor Michael Raymond James) and played a drag queen on an episode of Detroit 1-8-7. I'm all for diversity and this show really sounds like a winner based on the cast, but being that this is NBC, I am a bit worried especially since their track record as of late has been pretty timid. I'm really looking forward to seeing this show in the fall, but with the state of regular television not taking risks like cable and throwing their full support behind anything different, I don't want to see this show get cancelled within the first week. I'm also hoping this show will be 1000 times more watchable than Beverly Hills Fabulous on VH1. Can I get a halleloo?
The always unpredictable Chris Brown appeared on tonight's result show of Dancing With the Stars thankfully sporting his natural haircolor and performing two songs from his album F.A.M.E. Not only did he turn it on DTWS, but he also has reason to celebrate, being that his fourth album debuts on the #1 spot. All I have to say after watching his showstpping performance is Usher who? Check out his performances of Yeah (3X) and Forever/Beautiful People in case you missed it as well as his 15 Minutes of F.A.M.E. BET special below...
Many of you may be familiar with B-boy/dancer Daniel "Cloud" Campos' rise to fame as one of the more popular backup dancers for Michael Jackson and on Madonna'sI'm Going to Tell You A Secret documentary, her Re-Invention and Confessions tours, and his role in Step Up 3, but now Cloud has unleashed a brand new video that he wrote, directed, and edited. The video finds the talented dancer incorporating some clever dance moves into his search for a new apartment. Madonna, if you happen to catch this flick, please get Cloud back on your next tour. He was sorely missed on the Sticky & Sweet tour.
We've been bombarded with so much dance pop lately, I have to say I was starting to get a bit concerned for my lack of booty pop hip hop on the Billboard charts. Well don't fret, my pet because T-Pain has dropped a hot one on us called Booty Work (One Cheek at a Time) and I have to say it's definitely a certified scripper anthem! get them cheecks a rotatin' and listen to the Young Fyre-produced track below...
With all the talk on the blogs about Britney's lack of performance enthiusiasm leading up to the release of her seventh album Femme Fatale, no one was more surprised than I was at TV/radio personality and my favorite TRL host Carson Daly making it public his disgust for the puppeteers pulling the strings on Jive's favorite cash cow. Daly, who became the most popular TV host since Dick Clark back in the late 90's when he hosted/executive produced the popular MTV countdown series Total Request Live has known Britbot since the beginning of her career (the same time TRL became a huge hit), and recently twatted his concern for the pop tart, whom he says is being so controlled by her handlers that he has to pre-record his interviews and then hand them in to editors to take out what they feel is inappropriate.
I've always looked at Britbot as nothing more than a manufactured pop star with minimal to no vocal ability, and okay dance moves, but what she always had that stood out from the rest was this undeniable sex appeal and hard work ethic. It seems to me she's tired of playing the major label games and would rather sit at home and take care of her sons. She makes too much money for her handlers, label, and the demand from her fans is strikingly high. The leash is obviously being pulled real tight around her neck, and being that they all treat her like a robot, I'm guessing they feel there's no reason for her to breathe if she's not even human. As for Carson, I applaud him for keeping it real and showing his concern instead of fake ass opportunists like Ryan Gaycrest, who not only will do anything to get that top interview, but probably hates that Carson is the first jockey to rightfully get the crown left by Dick Clark instead of his tired boy pussy eating ass. I really hope Britney can get it together, but like I said before I don't see that happening in the distant future.
UK singer/songwriter Imogen Heap has unleashed a brand new single called Lifeline, and what's cool about this is that Imogen channeled her inner-Bjork and created the beat by using sounds submitted by her fans. No word on when her new album will drop, but might I say I'm pleasantly pleased with the first single.
It's been a long time coming, but finally we have a singer worthy of her talent on the May cover of Elle magazine for their music issue. You better work Robyn! Also be on the lookout for the Swedish sensation when she performs at LOGO's New Now Next awards on April 10th.
Kelly Rowland and Beyonce aren't the only one's dropping Matthew Knowles like dominos. After her attempt at pop stardom went nowhere, Tiffany Evans twatted a pretty long one that she has dropped papa Knowles as her manager.
The Announcement that I was going to make is that I am No Longer Managed by Mathew knowles.In all Honesty it was a Great Learning Experience but the BEST decision was made for me.I appreciate so much the support that The Music World family has shown me but feel best at this stage in my career to go a different direction with my choice in management.I am so very pleased with it and I can’t begin to tell you how I free I am and the excitement behind what is going on with my project now!I truly know NOW that this is the start of a great journey in my career!.Can’t wait to share the OTHER exciting news! Love you #TeamTiff!! ; -)Cheers to success!
Is there anyone else left for Matthew to manage? Now that his pride and joy Beyonce doesn't need his primary focus anymore, maybe one of his bottom-of-the-barrel singers can finally have a Billboard hit on the charts?
As the biggest pop star on the planet enters a new chapter in her life (a new album, tour, more movies and turning "30" in September) Beyonce has finally put on her freakum dress and big girl pumps and has parted ways with her father Matthew Knowles as her longtime manager. A statement was released to the Associated Press that the feeling was mutual and that they still love each other (they should - after all they are family), I'm thinking what everyone else won't say...I believe she wanted the baby mama scandal between her parents to cool down before she made parting ways with her controlling, philandering dad official.
Mathew released the following statement:
The decision for Beyoncé and Music World Entertainment to part was mutual. We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment. Currently, I am very focused on the tremendous investment that our record label has made in the gospel/inspirational genre of music and on our supremely talented roster of artists, including Trin-i-tee 5:7, Brian Courtney Wilson, Juanita Bynum, Micah Stampley, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Pastor Rudy and others.
Music World will continue its partnership with Sony with Destiny’s Child and UK female group From Above, as well as management. We will also continue to develop the Music World family of labels: Music World Country/Compadre, Music World Kids and Music World Music. In Music World’s repositioning it will not continue its label/management role with Columbia/Sony artist Tiffany Evans.
Business is business and family is family. I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success.
2011 seems to be a big transition for the global superstar, who's not really known for thinking outside the box and taking chances with her career, since all her solo hits sound like rehashed versions of old DC hits. But with a collaboration with Diplo and up and coming hip hop group Odd Future adding some much-needed finesse to her new album after the flaccid I Am...Sasha Fierce, it seems Beyonce is taking a page out of cooler sis Solange's handbook and is willing to do something different for a change. Only time will tell what the music will sound like, but I like this side of Beyonce. Kelly Rowland dumped Matthew back in 2009 and saw a much-needed spike in her career as a dance diva. Now that Bey's ready to spread her wings and fly with a new management team, be prepared to see her career soar further in the sratosphere.
Like expected Britney Spears performed on GMA this morning, opening with first single Hold It Against Me then going into that filler track on the album Big Fat Bass with Will.I.Am and then closing her 15 minute set with current chart topper Till The World Ends. I'm sure like majority of Britney's fans, she gave us pretty much what you would expect from Rihanna - lots of hype but when it came down to the performance it was lacking on all levels. I really don't get why she's acting so timid with her recent live performances. I think she doesn't want to be a performer anymore and is just doing it to keep her "handlers" employed. If you are expecting real energy from a pop star, I'll stick with far hungrier pop stars like Gaga,Madonna and Beyonce. If I expect any future greatness on the stage from Britney, I'll just look to drag queens to put on a better show than the original pop tart. I will give her this: At least her lip-sync is on point for once.
