Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye in Run This Town video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
So what does it take to properly “Run This Town”? Judging by Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West’s appearances, the key is fashionable eyewear. (Sexy stockings also apparently help.)
In this video for Jay-Z’s new single, the trio rallies a group of torch-bearing, bandana-wearing followers to do…something. Maybe they’ll be in the crowd when the song is performed on Jay Leno’s new show?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Awards, Music Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Which had a bigger visual impact this year? Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” dance or Lady Gaga’s eccentric outfits?
On September 13, both ladies will have the opportunity to take home 9 Moonmen from this fall’s Video Music Awards. That’s the most nominations for any artist his year. (There are only two categories - Best New Artist and Best Choreography - in which the two don’t compete against each other.)

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip,

Fans responded enthusiastically to the episode, which included remakes of Kanye West’s “Gold Digger” and Salt N Pepa’s “Push It.” Future episodes will include tunes originally recorded by Barbara Streisand and The Rolling Stones.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Hip-Hop & Rap, New Releases,
Here’s your opportunity to take a listen to Jay-Z’s new track, “Run This Town” featuring Kanye West and Rihanna. We think it has a great vibe, but go ahead and give it a listen. Run This Town will be featured on The Blueprint 3, which hits stores on September 11.
Lady Gaga Touring with Kanye West
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Dance, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
Although I doubt Baba Wawa (a.k.a. Barbara Walters) has a clue who Lady Gaga is, she’ll probably figure it out soon enough.
Earlier today, Kanye West broke major touring news…to the ladies of The View. (It’s apparently the new TRL.) The rapper told the daytime audience that he’ll soon be performing with that other musical fashionista.
So will Gaga be opening for Kanye….or will he be the warm-up act for her? Neither. “She’s talented and she’s, um….she’s so incredible that she’s not an opening act. We’re doing our show together, with no opening act,” West teased. (So it’s basically the hipper version of the Elton John/Billy Joel tour?)
No other details about the upcoming tour have yet been announced.

VIDEO: Kanye West Has Rihanna Feeling Paranoid
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
In this video for “Paranoid,” Rihanna is assaulted in her dreams by visions of wolves and the overuse of Auto-Tune.
But maybe Kanye West is right. Maybe she does “worry ‘bout the wrong things.” I mean - could that corset getup really be comfortable to sleep in?

Daily Snark: Jessica Simpson works the fat angle
Posted by Colleen McKie Categories: Celebrities,
Aren’t her 15 minutes up, yet?
In a desperate bid to hold on to even a smidgen of her celebrity, Jessica Simpson is slated to appear in another reality TV show. Apparently the new show, Price of Beauty, will have Jess and a friend travelling the country looking for beautiful people and what makes them beautiful.
The idea for the show came form Jess’ recent weight struggle. Just one more travesty caused by high-waisted Mom jeans.
Lindsay’s dad still a douche bag
Michael Lohan was arrested earlier this month for threatening to kill fiancée Erin Muller and then himself when she tried to put an end to the relationship.
Guys like this tick me off. Why not do us females a favor and forget about the first part of the threat? We really don’t care about the second part all that much.
White wedding
Meg White from the White Strips married boyfriend Jackson Smith. Also married were Dead Weather and the Raconteur bassist Jack Lawrence. The weddings took place at the Nashville home of Jack White, Meg’s band mate and ex husband. Benjamin “Swank” Smith officiated.
What was there no minister named Jack available?
Kanye is SMRT
Despite the fact that he has “written” a book, Kanye West doesn’t believe in reading.
“I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.”
Just for the record Kanye? Books don’t give autographs, authors do.
Kanye West Admits to Being a ‘Gay Fish’ on South Park
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s response to the episode here.
Hate being the only one who doesn’t get the joke? So does Kanye West.
On last night’s episode of South Park (which can be seen in its entirety here), the rapper is the only person in the country doesn’t understand the laugher Cartman and Jimmy created. (Q: “Do you like fishsticks?” A: “What are you - a gay fish?”)
Believing the joke is on him, an embarrassed West eventually resorts to murder before finally making peace with the marine life.

American Idol 8: Wild Card Round
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
The Wild Card round of American Idol opened with three stools and eight singers who all hoped to fill them. With eight singers, four judges and one host - not to mention a performance round and an elimination round in a single episode - Idol had to move things along pretty quickly. There was little time for recap or reintroduction. Each contestant had a sort of hurried interview that played for a few moments while they rushed to the stage. It was actually sort of poorly done, not to put too fine a point on it.
At any rate, Idol viewers were given a rare treat - instant gratification. Usually, results have to wait an entire day…but not on this Wild night.

Kanye West Talks About Himself on Storytellers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Hip-Hop & Rap,
If you consider Kanye West’s provocative comments to be more humorous than outright annoying, you may want to set your DVRs now.
Later this month, the rapper will get an entire hour of television to himself. As the featured guest on VH1’s Storytellers program, Kanye will get a chance to perform tracks from 808’s & Heartbreak and talk about the stories behind each song.
So what should one expect from that February 28th broadcast? I’m predicting something similar to this recent quote in Details magazine:
“Oh my God, I’m one of the greatest rappers in the world. I’ll get on a track and completely ee-nihilate that track, I’ll eat it and rip it in half. I wouldn’t have to think of it.”
