VIDEO: Lil Jon Adds His Touch to Sesame Street Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
WARNING: This isn't something you'd want to play around your children.
During a recent appearance on the "Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg" radio program, rapper Lil Jon taught us two very important lessons:
- If you're ever in doubt about Sesame Street's word for the day, it's okay to say "I don't know."
- The theme song will always be entertaining -- even if you have to throw in a few choice expletives of your own.

Kanye West Cancels Today Show Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Videos,
Although he's made some peace with former President George W. Bush, Kanye West now has a new target for his frustration: the Today show.
During a pre-taped interview that aired Thursday, Kanye became bothered by some video that was rolling during his chat. As Matt Lauer and West were comparing the backlash he received after the MTV Awards to the flak Bush received post-Hurricane Katrina, NBC chose to show the clip of that famous Kanye/Taylor Swift moment.
That decision caught Kanye by surprise -- and he made sure everyone knew he didn't like it. (Cue the video to the 6:30 mark.)

VIDEO: Kanye West Performs for Airline Passengers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Whether he's on a stage or flying 15,000 feet in the air, Kanye West knows how to put on a show.
During a flight last Friday to New York from Minneapolis, the rapper took control of the closest microphone to him: the loudspeaker.
According to someone on that Delta route, West gave his fellow passengers way more than they had anticipated.
“He was like, ‘Yo, this your n***a, Kanye,’” the witness told Hollywood Life. “Then he couldn’t decide if he wanted to do the 'Good Life’ or ‘Gold Digger,’ so he was like, ‘I’ll just do a little bit of both.’ It was awesome … but I still have no idea how he got into the cockpit.”

VIDEO: Rihanna Talks VMAs, New Album and Acting Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Although Eminem will be performing “Love the Way You Lie” at the Video Music Awards tomorrow, his musical partner won’t be there during the opening number.
Rihanna, who is currently filming Battleship in Hawaii, will be too busy to make the annual event. But from the sounds of it, she doesn’t really care.
“I definitely wish I could be there for Eminem. He’s performing the song we did together. It would have been nice to do it, but he understands. Obviously right now I’m doing something that is a priority to me,” she said about her acting debut. “The VMAs will be there next year. I’ll have a lot more music out by then.”
Speaking of new music, Rihanna promises her upcoming CD will take us “through a really interesting ride.” “The name of the album reflects the attitude,” Rihanna added. “It really grabs your attention.”
Loud hits stores on November 16.

Lady Gaga may call her fans “Little Monsters”—but that doesn’t mean she likes it when they act like them.
During her tour stop in Washington D.C. this week, the singer interrupted her own performance when she saw some concertgoers engaged in a fight.
Maybe somebody was involved in a “Bad Romance”?

Watch Taylor Swift’s New Music Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Upcoming Releases, Country,
Missed the multiple channel debut for Taylor Swift’s new video? Don’t worry—we’ve got it for you right here.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the country star explained the story about “Mine,” the first single off her upcoming album. “My tendency to run from love. Every really direct example of love that I’ve had in front of me has ended in goodbye and has ended in breakups and things like that. So I think I’ve developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love. This song is sort of about finding the exception to that.”
While I’m personally still years away from imagining the 20-year-old as a married woman with children, I can now see her perfectly at home in a future Nicholas Sparks film.
Speak Now, Swift’s third album, will drop on October 25.
