Cassie & Lil' Wayne Speak About Their Collabo; 'Official Girl' (New Music)
Well, Lil' Wayne started out by lying his butt off, "Her voice is crazy", that statement was laughable to say the least. The song itself is decent, not first single material, but still decent.
Solange Performs 'I Decided (Part 2)'; Named Ambassador For Armani
Great Performance. Like I said before, the thing I'm noticing with Solange's music is people either love it or hate it, there really isn't any middle ground with her, but I love it. Vocally the runs were fantastic and the high note at the end was just the cherry on the top.

I love that she's like the exact opposite of B, at least personality wise, because Beyonce, as much as I love her, often comes across rehearsed and cold.

A mess. Being that nobody is really checking for T-boz (or Chilli), with them each trying to go solo, their each going to have to come extra hard for the public to give them the least little bit of attention and this is certainly a step in the wrong direction.

New Music: Whitney Houston featuring Akon - 'Like I Never Left'
Disappointing. After Whitney's absence, her split from Bobby, and her obvious problems with drugs, all eyes are going to be on her as she makes her return, so Ms. Houston is going to have to step up her game big time. Hopefully this is just a teaser.
New Music: Ne-Yo - 'Take a Bow' (Rihanna Cover)
It took quite a while for the original to grow on me, but I really like Ne-Yo's take on the song.
Shanna Moakler vs. Kim Kardashian
Another day, another starlet enduring the wrath of Shanna Moakler.
It seems the former Miss USA, who made headlines a while back when she allegedly punched Paris Hilton in the face during a run-in at a Hollywood hot spot, is now unleashing her fury on Kim Kardashian.
Kim called in to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show today to confirm reports that there was a little catfight between her and the onetime beauty queen at a Malibu party hosted by Carmen Electra this weekend.
"There was a little altercation. Carmen and I were just kind of hanging out. Shanna came over and kind of just said a few things and threw a drink," says Kim. "I was just a little bit caught off guard. It kind of hit my leg.
"While the exact reason behind the purported fluid toss remains unclear, Kim thinks Shanna believes that she and Shanna's ex, Travis Barker, had become more than friends when Kim modeled for Travis' Famous Stars and Straps clothing line a year and a half ago. But Kim insists there was no funny business going on.
"I think she's trying to make it into something it's not."
Kim does admit, however, that she may have added fuel to the fire when the paparazzi caught her out and about recently wearing a Famous Stars and Straps T-shirt, which she thinks Shanna may have viewed as a slap in the face.
"I feel bad about it, and I feel like I infuriated Shanna for that. I do definitely want to apologize." While we certainly hope Shanna accepts Kim's words of remorse, something tells us this beef is far from over.

Halle Berry Takes A Stand
The Oscar-winning actress was upset when pictures of her holding four-month-old Nahla Ariela Aubry showed up on the Internet and in two celebrity magazines. In a statement, Berry disputes the notion that the photos were taken when she was "out and about in Los Angeles."
Evan Spiegel, an attorney representing Berry, said a criminal complaint has been filed and an investigation is under way. He said there are witnesses who saw the photographers in the middle of a "very blatant and invasive trespass."
A person who answered the phone Friday at Fame Pictures, the agency that distributed the photos, said he had no immediate comment.
Besides pursuing criminal charges against the photographer, Berry is seeking to get the photos removed from the Web. In her statement to The Associated Press, Berry said she will never sell pictures of her children.
"I have long since come to terms with the fact that choosing a career as an actress has made me a public figure, but my baby has made no such choice, and unless and until she does, I will do everything I can ... to keep her out of the public eye," the statement read.
The photos, some of which have blurred leaves in the foreground, show Berry holding her daughter, standing near a table in what appears to be a private backyard. Berry's mother is also in some of the pictures.
Berry said she wants anyone who used the photos to know they were illegally obtained. Representatives for In Touch and Life & Style magazines, which ran the photos, had no immediate comment Friday.
Berry gave birth to Nahla, her first child, in March. Nahla's father, model Gabriel Aubry, was not seen in the photos.

'The Dark Knight' Rewrites Box-Office Record Books
The film raked in 158.4 million dollars, crushing the previous North American box-office opening record of 151.1 million held by "Spider-Man 3", industry tracker Exhibitor Relations said.
Prior to "The Dark Knight," "Spider-Man 3" had led the all-time opening weekend figures from 2006's "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" (135.6 million) and 2007's "Shrek the Third" (121.6 million).
The performance of "The Dark Knight" helped the overall box-office to a record three-day take of 260 million dollars.
Buzz has been building for weeks about director Christopher Nolan's follow-up to 2005's "Batman Begins," with several reviewers hailing Ledger's performance as worthy of a posthumous Oscar nod.
Ledger, who died of an accidental drug overdose in New York in January, plays the cackling villain the Joker in "The Dark Knight."
Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock said he believed the box-office success of "The Dark Knight" was largely due to the intense interest surrounding Ledger's mesmerizing performance.
"I think you have to credit this to a large extent to Heath Ledger," Bock told AFP. "Since he died there has been a tremendous amount of anticipation about Heath's performance.
Analysts said "The Dark Knight" would likely exceed the total box office take of "Batman Begins" -- 205.3 million dollars -- by the end of this week.
With Batman dominant, the remainder of the box-office spoils were carved up by Abba musical "Mamma Mia!", which opened with 27.7 million to take second place, and Will Smith's flawed superhero "Hancock" (14 million) in third.
In fourth place was adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with 12.3 million while last week's top dog "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" was fifth with 10.1 million.
Pixar animation's "Wall-E" was sixth with 10 million while another animated feature "Space Chimps" was next with 7.1 million.
The Angelina Jolie action movie "Wanted" was eighth with five million dollars, followed by the spoof spy comedy "Get Smart" (4.1 million) and "Kung Fu Panda" (1.9 million).

The only word that comes to mind is....BRILLIANT. Everything about this video was top notch, the costumed fashion, the over the top makeup, and the star herself looked breathtaking. This video helps defines why Rihanna is currently at the top of her game, because the girl is brave and isn't afraid to take a risk and its definitely well worth it when it pays off like this. I love it.

Nelly, Ashanti & Akon - 'Body on Me' Video
The video for Nelly's latest single 'Body on Me' featuring Ashanti and Akon premiered a matter of minutes ago on the superstar's official website. I really like this one, especially that magnetic chemistry that he and Ashanti share, which is so rare in celebrity couples. Early indications on the charts also show this may be the break that Nelly so rightfully needs after his previous singles failed to ignite with the public causing several pushbacks to his long awaited album.
