Don't Compare Nancy Ajram to Haifa & Elissa!

Nancy Ajram has much respect for her fellow Lebanese singers Haifa Wehbe & Elissa, but she refuses to be compared to them!
Nancy feels that each has her own style and her own fan base, thus they shouldn't be any comparison.
Nancy also denied being in dispute with Najwa Karam saying that she likes Najwa very much, and they have a good relationship but at the same time she doesn’t agree with Najwa when she says she’s the number one singer right now or she is the singer with the largest amount of fans. According to Nancy, it's difficult to say who the number one singer is right now, because each singer makes different music and the fans have different tastes. I totally agree with you Nancy! Do you too?

Rihanna Definitely Dating Matt Kemp

Hours after making an appearance on American Idol, Rihanna admitted on a radio show with Ryan Seacrest that she is dating L.A Dodger, Matt Kemp saying "Umm, he's my boyfriend."
All Riri wants is to have a good time and have fun with Matt after having a painful experience with her ex, Chris Brown. Rihanna made it clear to Ryan that she doesn’t want anything serious that will take up so much of her energy and work in a bad way.

Matt and Rihanna met in 2009 after being introduced by friends and we’ve seen them together on vacations being romantic but they never admitted they were together until now.
Rihanna has a new project; she told Ryan that she was asked to give Katy Perry a bachelorette party, telling Ryan "She put that on me last week and now I have to come up with something cool 'cos she's getting married in India." But that’s going to happen at the end of the year so Riri has time to work on it.
I’m glad to see Riri moving on with her life, I guess she learned from her mistakes and she’s enjoying her time with Matt now although he will not be accompanying her on her tour with Kei$ha.

Monica Still Standing Album Review

01. Still Standing (Feat. Ludacris) (Produced By Bryan-Michael Cox)

02. One In A Lifetime (Produced By Los DaMystro)

03. Stay Or Go (Produced By Bei Maejor)
04. Everything To Me (Produced By Missy Elliott)
05. If You Were My Man (Produced By Missy Elliott)
06. Mirror (Produced By Jim Jonsin)
07. Here I Am (Produced By Polow Da Don)
08. Superman (Produced By Bryan-Michael Cox)
09. Love All Over Me (Produced By Jermaine Dupri)
10. Believing In Me (Produced By StarGate)

Monica Still Standing Album Review – The last time we heard from Monica was back in 2007 with an album called “The Makings of Me” where she was trying too hard to be contemporary.
We are now in 2010 and Miss Thang has decided to grace us with her beautiful voice on a brand new CD called “Still Standing” out March 23, where she seems to be indifferent to staying current this time around.
Don’t get me wrong the CD is not bad, no one sings about pain, drama, love, cheating and strength like Mo, but at the end of the day the album is plain and lacks that appealing certain something to make it a classic.
Despite having hitmakers such as Ne-Yo, Johnta Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox and Polow da Don, “Still Standing” sounds like it was made for the mid-90s. However there were few standout cuts from the CD that I really enjoyed,the old-school Deniece Williams sampled single, ”Everything to Me”, “Mirror” where she seems to be having a stream of consciousness, the sexually charged “Superman” and of course “Still Standing” which has uplifting words for all of us.
Overall it is not a great CD, but it should do fairly well on the charts thanks to her strong fan base and the hype created by her reality show/personal dramas.
Hopefully she will use her talent to come back and wow us next time with something even better.

Cinnabar Theme Nights

Mariah Carey Ribbon Remix Ft. The Dream & Ludacris

Mariah Carey Ribbon Remix Ft. The Dream & Ludacris – Mariah Carey has unveiled the remix version of her track called “Ribbon” which features The Dream and Ludacris.The song will appear on her upcoming thirteenth album and second remix album called “Angels Advocate” that will be available on March 26, 2010.

The forthcoming CD will only contain remixes of songs from Carey’s last studio album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” and can only be purchased exclusively at Target stores nationwide,iTunes.com/target, and Target.com.Now back to the song which I find is a complete bore-fest ,it does not have a new beat,nor new lyrics,she did not even go back in the studio to re-work her vocals.What is the point of calling something a remix if it is identical to the original?

Usher Mars vs. Venus:New Song

Usher Mars vs. Venus:New Song – Usher has a new song called “Mars vs. Venus” that surfaced today where he is using terms related to the solar system and all the astrological signs to explain what happens when two bodies collide during the big bang aka sex/love making.”Mars vs. Venus” which was produced by Jam & Lewis and The Avila Brothers will be featured on the singer’s upcoming CD “Raymond vs Raymond” that will be out on March 26, 2010.

Vocally Usher did a great job on the track,but then again he is known for delivering smooth and sensual notes on songs that talk about sex.Lyrically the song is very cliche but the beat on the other hand is very soothing and baby making like.My conclusion is that Usher needs to make better usage of his voice if he ever wants another hit album.

I’m Up In The Bank Ciara

I’m Up In The Bank Ciara – Ciara who is busy working on her 4th album has a new song called “I’m Up In The Bank” that surfaced today.”I’m Up In The Bank” which was produced by Tricky Stewart and The Dream (her entire CD will apparently be produced by this duo) has the singer going after the “haters”.The “Goodies” artist brags about all the money that she has and boasts about her luxurious possessions.

After failing with ‘‘Fantasy Ride’’,this is not the direction Ciara should be taking with her musical career.”I’m Up In The Bank” is one of the worst tracks I have ever heard from CiCi,she can definitely do better than that.Working exclusively with Tricky Stewart and The Dream is the perfect move to end up like Jennifer Lopez (no CD,no label and almost no career.)

Freak Estelle Ft. Kardinal Offishall Prod. By David Guetta

rak Estelle Ft. Kardinal Offishall Prod. By David Guetta – Here is Estelle’s first single called “Freak” which features rapper Kardinal Offishall and was produced by French DJ David Guetta.”Freak” is taken off the British songbird’s upcoming album entitled “All of Me”, which will be available this summer.There is a sneak preview of the music video for the track after the jump.

Beyonce A Race Traitor?

Beyonce A Race Traitor? – Many people seem to think that just like Micheal Jackson,Beyonce is a traitor to blacks especially to black women all over the world for accepting that her ads be lightened and forever dyeing her natural dark locks gold/blonde.Independent paper wrote an article called ‘Beyonce — a traitor’ to her people on the matter saying:

The virtual clean sweep enjoyed by Beyonce at the Grammys was proof of one thing — modern music is in bad shape.
Okay, a white, 30-something Irish bloke probably isn’t the exact target market for a black woman who purveys a blend of soulless, poptastic R&B and while, in fairness, some of her songs are infuriatingly catchy, let’s get real — we’re not exactly talking about Ella Fitzgerald here.
But she seems like a pleasant enough modern pop creation who is careful not to say anything that would alienate her fanbase.
So, you would think that after her success at the Grammys, she is an inspiration to black women. But you would be wrong. And quite possibly a racist as well.
Beyonce had blonde hair at the awards and this prompted black commentator Teshima Walker of National Public Radio to fume: “I know that blonde hair is associated with white women and beauty. I saw how men respond to girls and women with golden hair … But now I think maybe black stars should help African-American women release the hold that blonde hair has had on us.”
So y’know those Destiny’s Child and Beyonce albums you have at home? Run home and throw them all out. Otherwise, you’re simply supporting the actions of a race traitor — and you wouldn’t want that, would you?

Check out the statement she issued through her publicist,after the jump.

To all my friends and fans – It’s time that I clear the air. It’s not a secret that I haven’t been in contact with my mother Frankie, and my sisters Neffe and Elite and I never wanted to air out our differences to the public. While I won’t go into detail here I find it necessary to let you guys know I decided to stop communication with them because I was at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward. Please know I love my family very much but it was time to let it go. You guys are a witness to a lot of what was happening from watching on air and online.

Now that I am becoming a mom my passion for having a loving and peaceful home for my child is my #1 priority. It’s very important to bothDaniel and I. My plate is very full; I have a new baby coming, we are planning our wedding and I am working in the studio on a new album that I am close to completing. The stress that my family is giving me with their constant false reports is not healthy and it’s not what I need at this time in my life. Please understand that there are only a few people that can officially confirm or deny anything that’s happening in my life and that’s me,Daniel, and my publicist, Tresa Sanders. And my girl Monica never lies.

The three guiding lights behind Hilson’s first album-Timbaland, Polow Da Don and Danjahandz-are back onboard. “They’re the cornerstones.West, Will.i.am and emerging songwriter/producer Jeff Bhasker will also be involved.”We’re just getting into this.”

Mormile, who hopes to have a first single out in March, if not sooner added:

Beyonce Gaddafi Gig

Beyonce Gaddafi Gig – Reports surfaced recently claiming that Beyonce got paid 2 million dollars by the Gaddafi family (the Libyan political figures have become very controversial for supporting alleged terrorists and their violence toward women) to perform at a private concert at the Nikki Beach nightclub in St. Bart’s on New Year’s Eve.The singer is denying the story,well sort of by saying:

The party in St. Bart’s on New Year’s Eve, with Beyoncé in performance, was hosted by Muatsim-Billah Gaddafi, not his brother Moutassim Bilal “Hannibal” Gaddafi, as reported in the press.Her agents and management firm made the decision to confirm the private performance. The annual party had a long history of booking internationally known artists both American and foreign for events around the world, including Cannes.Past performers in St. Bart’s have included Timbaland, Enrique Iglesias and Mariah Carey. Guests at this year’s party included singer Usher, former BET CEO Bob Johnson, actress Lindsay Lohan and music industry vets, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles and L.A. Reid.

Rihanna Breaks Silence Over 'Humiliating' Naked Photographs

More Rihanna

Rihanna has spoken for the first time about the leak of naked photographs of her in May.

The pictures, which showed the singer in a number of provocative poses, emerged online just two months after she was assaulted by former boyfriend Chris Brown.

In an interview with US radio station Hot 97, Rihanna said the pictures had been leaked by an ex-boyfriend and that she felt “humiliated”.

"I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, 'oh great, so now there's nothing they don't know about me and my private life'," she said.

"It was humiliating and it was embarrassing - especially my mum having to see that. It was two days before Mother's Day, so I was nervous.

"I sent her flowers first before I called and then she texted me - when the world is against me she's always there supporting."

Rihanna, who said he mother didn't criticise her for the photographs, also defended her right to take them.

"If you don't send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him,” she added.

The 22-year-old singer is currently promoting her new album, 'Rated R', which was released on Monday.

50 Cent Beefs With Jay-Z Over Poor Album Sales

50 Cent has hit back at Jay-Z after the rapper appeared to poke fun at poor sales of his new album, 'Before I Self Destruct'.

Jay-Z made the comment - “Men lie, women lie - numbers don't” - during an acceptance speech at the American Music Awards on Sunday.

His remark appeared to be in reference to reports that 50 Cent's new album was on course to sell just 150,000 copies in its first week.

The rapper's three previous efforts have all sold over 500,000 copies in their opening seven days.

Speaking about Jay-Z's remark on US radio station Sirius Satellite, 50 Cent said: “He's said that before. I didn't really take that as disrespect.

“If you wanna be disrespectful, just be disrespectful. Once we start I'm not gonna stop.”

He added: “I'll make you aware of that, 'cause I'm not the type of guy that goes away. So if that's the kind of energy we getting ready to go into, then let's do it!"

50 Cent had previously baited Jay-Z on a new track entitled 'I Go Off', on which he claims the rapper has neglected his roots.

CHIPMUNK STRUGGLED WITH HECTIC LIFE

Chipmunk says he threatened to commit suicide because his life is so hectic and is now taking time to rest and come to terms with his success.

Chipmunk threatened to kill himself because he can't cope with his hectic life.

The 'Oopsy Daisy' hitmaker - who caused concern earlier this month when he posted a series of disturbing messages on his Twitter page, including "I wanna die" - is trying to scale back his commitments after a whirlwind year of success took its toll. He doesn't even plan to celebrate his 19th birthday today (26.11.09).

He told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I just needed to take some time out to rest and get my head together. I try and take everything in my stride. It's been a successful year for me.

"But I still haven't had the chance to let anything sink in yet, I haven't had a chance to think about it all. I'm just too busy. And I get followed everywhere too, it's crazy.

"It's a bit boring right now, it's my birthday and I'm not even going to do anything."

The British rapper also thanked his fans for helping him stay sane.

He said: "They put me where I am, so no matter what crazy s**t happens, I'm with them."

CHIPMUNK BACK TO WORK

Troubled U.K. rapper CHIPMUNK has gone back to work just two weeks after fears for his emotional state led to the cancellation of all his upcoming commitments.
The star - real name Jahmaal Fyffe - sparked concerns for his health after he posted alarming messages about suicide on his Twitter.com page earlier this month (07-08Nov09). The messages, which have since been removed, read: "I wanna die" and "Is suicide easy?"
The Oopsy Daisy hitmaker scrapped a string of performances and took a break to recover with his family in London.
But the 18 year old was back on stage on Wednesday (25Nov09) at a charity gig in Kent, England, and he admits he is healthy, happy and enjoying being back in the spotlight.
He says, "It's kind of sad it takes a problem before you get some time off, but I'm just easing myself back into work and trying to get my mind right because it affects my music and that's the last thing you want. I have to get back on stage, it's not optional. I've got a lot of big shows coming up and regardless of how I feel it would be stupid to miss them. I'm back.
"It got to the point of you dig your own hole and then jump in it and then you have to climb out because everyone expects you to. You've just got to be the boss of your own schedule or else you run yourself into the ground."

News: Beyonce Accussed of Song Stealing!

OH LORDY! Beyonce is accused of song stealing! Somehow i’m not surprised! It is known that Beyonce usually buy song credits from songwriters so she will get a bigger cut in her album royalties. But now it looks like its outright stealing the song and just changing the words and phases. The song that she’s accussed of stealing is Destiny’s Child’s Cater 2 U. Read the full scoop below.

…Chicago songwriter and performer Rickey Allen says it’s his song, and a judge has given the green light for a jury to hear his claims against Mrs. Jay-Z.

Allen first copyrighted his “Cater 2 U,” — with the same spelling — in the mid-1990s. He performed the song locally and updated the copyright three times, as recently as 2000.

Allen’s song is about “relieving the stress of a significant other, and getting them to relax.” He says Destiny Child’s version contains similar steamy lyrics.

When Allen’s song says: “I want to rub you down,” Destiny’s Child asks: “Want a foot rub?”

Allen’s lyrics say: “The tub has hot steam rising,” and “I’m waiting to soak your body through.”

The Destiny’s Child song offers to: “Let me run your bath water.”

“Do we say [Beyonce's] responsible for copying? Yes. But there’s no such thing as innocent copying, even if it’s unintentional,” said Allen’s lawyer, Matt Wildermuth. “The jury will decide the notion that these are simple coincidences.”

Allen says he passed a copy of his “Cater 2 U” to Chicago remixer Maurice Joshua, and the two planned to collaborate on a demo.

That never happened, Allen says. But Joshua later spent several hours in a session with Destiny’s Child recording a different song, according to court papers. Joshua says he never had a copy of Allen’s work.

Lawyers for the threesome say the case has no merit and asked that it be tossed.

It was Knowles who was the source for the idea of “Cater 2 U,” her lawyers said in a court filing.

“She is perhaps the most important witness for the defendants,” they said.

U.S. District Judge James Holderman has ruled there’s enough evidence for the case to go before a jury, pointing to Joshua as the link and saying it’s possible he could have provided a copy of Allen’s song before they released their hit. The trial was delayed once because of conflicts with Knowles’ schedule but is set for Dec. 10.

News: Britney Spears-Australia Lip-sync Controversy

It’s a known fact that Britney Spears lip-syncs in most (if not all) of her performance due to her intense choreography and certain other reasons. But now, it’s creating a big hoo-haa down under and it’s only her show of first tour ever in Australia.

According to Australian news reports, disgruntled fans left Spears’ show in Perth after only three songs into the concert, complaining of a lackluster performance, apparent lip-synching and their inability to see Spears on the jumbo screens onstage. (Source)

“We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap,” Josh Blee complained to Australia’s News Limited newspapers. “I thought after the music awards she would make up for it with a wicked concert, but she has let us down.”

“Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it,” Paul Dainty, Brit’s tour promoter, told The Australian newspaper on Monday. “She’s a human being. I’m embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.” (Source)

The Fair Trade Minister for the state of New South Wales, Virginia Judge, even suggested concert tickets should carry disclaimers about whether parts of concerts were pre-recorded and mimed. “It is Britney’s ‘prerogative’ to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front,” Judge said in a statement released by the government.

LOL! What one Britney Spears concert show can do to a government and a whole country continent!

The Barbadian beauty is in Europe promoting her new album, Rated R, which drops next week.

A few hours later, the singer arrives in London, where she's due to perform on Monday.

Sure, we all know Rihanna's got some baggage ... but you didn't think she'd carry it herself, did you?

Who looks more fierce: Rihanna or the train station's armed guards?

Just because Shakira sings about a "She Wolf," it doesn't mean that her mane has to look like a canine chewed on it.

Chris Brown: People Are Perceiving Me Wrong

As he continues to apologize publicly for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown says he doesn't know why people have a hard time believing that he is remorseful.

"The steps that Ive taken to show that Im sorry probably have been perceived wrong," Brown, 20, says in an interview on The Wendy Williams Show Friday (check your local listings)."Certain things when Im doing certain interviews and how my posture is to how Im acting.

"At the end of the day, Im definitely remorseful and its not something that I take lightly or think that its like under the rug," he goes on. "I really think its something that is a serious matter and Im learning from it."

The New York Post reports that Brown still can't live down the attack.

The paper posts a video of a woman getting within a few feet of him Wednesday in NYC and screaming: "[bleep]ing beater!" and "I hope someone beats the [bleep]ing [bleep] out of you!"

Brown just smiles and walks past her.

News: Lady Gaga Will No Longer Release The Fame: Monster

Lady Gaga has confirmed on German talkshow “Wetten Dass” that she will no longer be releasing
The Fame:Monster, but instead she will be releasing a new album sometime next year.

It’s due to some conflict with her record label with some production cost excuse. So she will be releasing the 8 new tracks instead over at itunes.

I think it’s a great idea, I’d rather have a new album than have that monster release, jee!

News : ADAM LAMBERT

Adam Lambert is once again taking to Twitter to reveal details about his Nov. 23 debut album, "For Your Entertainment."

On Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 28), the "American Idol" singer told fans that his debut single will be the album's title track, which was produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald (Britney Spears, Katy Perry).

In addition, Lambert shared news about collaborating with two well-known U.K. rock acts. "There is also a song called 'Soaked' written by Muse!" Lambert Tweeted. "Also a tune called "Music Again" written by Justin Hawkins of the Darkness!"

The singer also revealed that he wrote four songs on "For Your Entertainment: "Strut," "Aftermath," "Broken Open" and an exclusive iTunes track entitled "Down the Rabbit Hole."

Just yesterday (Oct. 27), Lambert unveiled the album cover for "For Your Entertainment," which boasts a decidedly glam, '80s-inspired aesthetic and represents a big departure from "Idol" covers past. In the Warwick Saint-photographed close-up, Lambert sports dramatic eyeliner and cobalt-blue hair and poses in front of a celestial backdrop, with one fingerless-gloved hand pressed to his cheek.

The cover immediately drew mixed reactions from fans, but Lambert spoke up in defense of the heavily airbrushed image.

"Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy," Lambert wrote. "It's an homage to the past. It IS ridiculous.

"For those that don't get it: oh well...Glad to have gotten your attention," added Lambert. "androgyny. Rock n Roll."

News : Michael Jackson

Even before the "This Is It" opening, Michael Jackson had earned $90 million in the past year, with most of it coming since his death five months ago.

That sizable sum put him third on the Forbes list of dead celebrities making the most money.

Jackson earned less than the $350 million that fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent scored in the past year, and the $235 million earned by the songwriting duo Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.

Forbes counted money earned from October 2008-October 2009, even for Jackson, who died June 25. But about $72 million -- or 80% of the $90 million earned in the past 12 months -- came after Jackson's death, said a spokesperson for GreenLight, a consultancy company that represents "delebs," their term for dead celebrities still earning money.

On Wednesday, Jackson -- along with AEG Entertainment and Sony -- began raking in money for next year's list as the concert-rehearsal documentary "This Is It" opened in 3,500 domestic theaters and around the world.

As for the rest of the Forbes list, it's the first time at No. 1 for Saint Laurent, who died in June 2008. And Rodgers and Hammerstein, who died in 1979 and 1960, respectively, are high on the list this time around courtesy of a $200 million acquisition of much of their catalog in April.

Coming in fourth is last year's No. 1, Elvis Presley, with $55 million; "The Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien is fifth with $50 million.

The rest of the Top 13 -- a Forbes deleb tradition -- consists of Charles Schulz, John Lennon, Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), Albert Einstein, Michael Crichton, Jimi Hendrix, Aaron Spelling and Andy Warhol.

Together, the 13 delebs grossed $886 million in the past 12 months, by far the biggest total in the nine years that Forbes has put out its list. Last year, for example, the 13 top earned $194 million; the year before that was $232 million.

Those looking for a piece of two of the delebs on this year's list -- Warhol and Jackson -- can bid on the pop artist's silkscreen portrait of the King of Pop that is expected to fetch as much as $700,000 at an auction next month.

OMG! I’m slow! Last weekend, it has been announced that BEYONCE and LADY GAGA are joining forces for Bee’s upcoming single “Video Phone.”

An insider revealed the following

“On Oct. 7, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé were working on the video together at a studio in NYC. Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush, and security was extremely tight.”

This is major, MAJOR! TWO big music forces coming together and doing their thing! It will be HUGE! Huger than a 12 incher!

“In the video, Beyoncé wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane.”

Lend your voice and demand to be heard. I hope to see you there.

Michael Jackson News

Anka gets credit for co-writing Jackson single

AP, Oct 13, 2009 2:28 am PDT

With a familiar high-pitched voice counting off one-two-three-four, a new Michael Jackson single debuted online Monday, prompting a hasty response from the singer's estate after Paul Anka revealed he was the song's co-writer.

"This Is It" is featured on the soundtrack to the upcoming documentary featuring the late superstar, but its genesis was actually in 1983 when it was written for a duets album Anka was recording.

The song was titled "I Never Heard," and Jackson and Anka are credited as co-authors on an early 1990s version recorded by the singer Sa-Fire.

Anka said Jackson's estate moved quickly to give him credit, promising Anka 50 percent of the song's profits.

"They did the right thing," Anka said. "I don't think that anybody tried to do the wrong thing. It was an honest mistake."

The string-backed ballad was released on the singer's official Web site and sent to radio stations. It gives advance publicity to the documentary, culled from footage of Jackson rehearsing for the concerts that he never got a chance to do.

Representatives of Jackson's estate acknowledged Anka's work in a prepared statement. Until Anka stepped forward, the song's history was a mystery.

"The song was picked because the lyrics were appropriate because of the name Michael gave his tour," the statement read. "We are thrilled to present this song in Michael's voice for the first time, and that Michael's fans have responded in unprecedented numbers."

Jay Sean Leads Packed Hot 100 Top Five

As previously reported, Jay Sean has halted the Black Eyed Peas' record reign atop the Billboard Hot 100. Sean's debut single "Down," featuring Lil Wayne, crowns the list with a 2-1 jump.
The Peas had held steady atop the Hot 100 for 26 consecutive weeks with "Boom Boom Pow" (12) and "I Gotta Feeling (14), smashing the prior mark of 19 straight frames in charge earned by Usher with two tracks in 2004. "Feeling" falls 1-5, the largest drop from the top since Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" dipped 1-6 on the chart dated July 5, 2008.

The battle for Hot 100 supremacy this week was extra fierce, as the chart's top five titles are separated by the tightest point margin in more than six years. Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." pushes 3-2, while also reaching the top 10 on Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay (12-9). Jay-Z rebounds 4-3, with help from Rihanna and Kanye West, on "Run This Town," while Jason DeRulo ascends 5-4 with his debut effort, "Whatcha Say."

Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" takes Greatest Gainer/Airplay honors for a second week, popping 7-6. Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10 are Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" (6-7), Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" (9-8), Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" (8-9) and Jay Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" (10-10).

The Hot 100's Greatest Gainer/Digital award goes to Owl City's "Fireflies," which beams 24-11. On Digital Songs, The title jumps 13-5 (125,000 paid downloads, up 82%). Iyaz's "Replay" also makes a large Hot 100 leap (51-24) on the strength of a digital bump (67,000, up 51%).

Four songs from the cast of the Fox TV breakout hit "Glee" dot the Hot 100. The ensemble bounds 85-28 with its cover of Queen's 1977 classic "Somebody to Love" and scores the Hot Shot Debut at No. 51 with its update of Heart's 1987 No. 1 "Alone." Its remake of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin' " re-enters at No. 76 after reaching No. 4 in June, and "Maybe This Time," featuring actress Kristin Chenoweth, opens at No. 88.

Other Hot 100 debuts include Foo Fighters' "Wheels" at No. 73. The first single from the band's "Greatest Hits," due Nov. 3, soars 11-2 on Rock Songs and 18-5 on Alternative Songs.

At No. 89, Kris Allen arrives with his first post-"American Idol" effort, "Live Like We Were Dying." He releases his debut album Nov. 17. Fellow pop-rock act Train returns to the Hot 100 for the first time since 2004, as "Hey, Soul Sister" starts at No. 98. The band launches a 28-city tour this month in support of its new album, "Save Me, San Francisco," due Oct. 27.

Alicia Keys Reveals 'Freedom' Details

Alicia Keys will be releasing her fourth studio album, "The Element of Freedom," on December 1st on MBK/J Records. The album's first single, "Doesn't Mean Anything," produced and written by Keys and longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, is this week's Hot Shot debut on the Hot 100 at No. 61.

To promote the album and single, Keys will give the song its television debut performance on the "Regis and Kelly" show on Monday (Oct. 12th). An accompanying video to "Doesn't Mean Anything," directed by P.R. Brown, will premiere on PerezHilton.com on October 16th and will be available on all other music portals on October 17th.

"The music is really strong, and the drums are really aggressive, but my voice is vulnerable and delicate," Keys said in a statement about the album. Keys says she eliminated "all of the boundaries and all the limitations, so that you can feel your freedom and express your freedom in every way you possibly can and that's what I did with this album."

In addition to Brothers, the album features production from Jeff Brasker (Kanye West, Keri Hilson), among others.

"The Element of Freedom" is the follow up to Keys' 2007 album, "As I Am." Keys is also featured on Alejandro Sanz's latest single, "Paraiso Express" ("Looking For Paradise"), which is this week's Hot Shot debut on the Hot Latin Songs chart at No. 21.

Soulja Boy Arrested After Vacant House Video Shoot

Police say rapper Soulja Boy was charged with obstruction after telling officers that people gathered at an abandoned Georgia house were shooting a music video.

Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton said Friday that when officers arrived Wednesday night to investigate complaints, almost half of the 40 people assembled fled by foot. Later, a man identified as DeAndre Cortez Way, Soulja Boy's real name, returned and said the group was shooting a video.

The 19-year-old was charged with obstruction and bonded out of the Henry County jail on Thursday. A telephone call to his publicist was not immediately returned.

The rapper started an Internet dance craze several years ago with the hit "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." More recent hits include "Kiss Me Thru the Phone."

50 Cent held his first annual "ThisIs50" Fest at New York's Governor's Island last weekend, and considering his career has been tarnished with a number of hip hop feuds, the Queens rapper managed to bring together some of New York rap's elite for the event.
On the bill were Slaughterhouse, Uncle Murda, Maino, Corey Gunz, Young Trav, D-Block, Red Café, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Papoose, Ron Browz, Al Be Back and 50 Cent's own G-Unit crew. Additionally, Kid Cudi, Wale, Wyclef Jean and the two surviving members of 90s R&B group Intro took the stage as well.

"I had to touch base with everyone and everybody saw how it made sense to get together and make some real money. And then artists influenced other artists to join," 50 Cent told Billboard about how the concert came about. "A lot of the artists out here tonight deserve to be on a regular Summer Jam bill, but we have to make our own Summer Jam because they [radio stations] are not recognizing their [new rappers'] material."

50 also revealed he plans to take 50 Fest on the road, with scheduled stops in L.A. and Atlanta next. "Once they see us all here together at the same time with no issues, no incidents and no problems, they'll let us do it wherever we want," he said. "After Hot 97 [New York radio station that supported '50' fest], we're going to step to Power 106 in L.A. and then Atlanta and we'll continue moving around until we load the whole map up."

In the past, 50 Cent has had public disputes with rappers like Ja Rule, Fat Joe, The Game and most recently, Rick Ross, among others. Still, 50 assures fans can see him collaborate more closely with other artists, especially those from his hometown, moving forward. "In the future, don't be surprised when you see all of us collaborating and working together on different projects -- not necessarily a song, but something bigger," he says.

50 Cent's upcoming album, the oft-delayed "Before I Self Destruct," is now slated to be released on November 17th via G-Unit/Shady Records/Aftermath/Interscope Records.

NEWS: Lady GaGa drops ‘The Fame Monster’ album details

Lady Gaga announced today that she will release ‘The Fame Monster‘, a re-package of her 4 million-selling album ‘The Fame’. The album will include the entire breakthrough album ‘The Fame’, along with eight entirely new songs. ‘The Fame Monster‘ (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records), deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year. The new version will be released on November 24, 2009.

The cover art for Lady GaGa's 'The Fame Monster' Limited edition

Says Lady Gaga, “On my re-release ‘The Fame Monster’, I wrote about everything I didn’t write on ‘The Fame’. While traveling theworld for two years, I’ve encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my ‘Fear of Sex Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Alcohol Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Love Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Death Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Loneliness Monster,’ etc.”

“I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90’s dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80’s melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, “Speechless”, a song for my father, and it’s my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between.”

The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced “Bad Romance“, will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.

Lady Gaga is also in the process of planning her next tour after her co-headlining tour with Kanye West was canceled last week.

News: Beyonce Finally Comments On Kanye West’s VMA Antics

Okay so Bee has finally broken her silence about the whole Kanye issue. Looks like he is plain acting on his own accord trying to act like a Knight in uh, shiny armour, saving the damsel in distress. No wonder, if you guys remembered, Beyonce had a stunned expression when he went up almost immediately. She saw it coming. All I can say is, he should just mind his own business. Read more about it below !

According to mtv.com:

Though singer was mortified by stage-rush, she says Kanye ‘was standing up for art.’

At Billboard magazine’s annual Women in Music event (where she was named Woman of the Year), Beyoncé finally broke her silence on West’s stage storming — which, at this point, has been commented on by everyone from Green Day and Jay-Z to former President Jimmy Carter and current President Barack Obama. Though she understood the rapper’s intentions, B said she was mortified by his actions.

“Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award,’” Beyoncé told O: The Oprah Magazine editor Gayle King after accepting her award. “And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’
“But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment — and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech,” she added, laughing.

Beyoncé was the inspiration behind Kanye West’s now-infamous onstage antics at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but the “Single Ladies” singer had avoided making any comment on the matter — until Friday.
West has repeatedly apologized for his actions on his blog, on “The Jay Leno” show and to Swift herself. And late last week, it was announced that his Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga had been canceled, a move that seemed to be in keeping West’s “Leno” show pledge that he will be taking time away from the public eye “to analyze how I’m gonna make it through the rest of this life and improve.”

News: Christina Aguilera Wraps New Album, Collaborates with Flo Rida

Producer Tricky Steward spilled the beans for the long waited Christina Aguilera album to Rap-Up.com.

“I’m working on Christina Aguilera’s album for next year. It’s just great. I wouldn’t say that it’s alternative, I wouldn’t say that it’s different. Christina’s always been an artist that moves the bar and that’s what the great ones do. They don’t stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her.”

The hitmaking machine believes this album will take its place among Aguilera’s best work. “I really feel it’s one of her best bodies of work that I’ve heard since Stripped. I think it’s really, really amazing and I think it’s well put together.”

The record has something for everyone. “She’s mixing it up again. She’s singing R&B again, she’s doing pop. She’s doing it all, but she’s found a way to make it all meet in the middle because she’s so many different things. She’s a real serious musician, she’s a real serious pop artist, and she’s a real serious singer. She’s making all her audiences happy at the same time.”

The mother of one had previously revealed a collaboration with M.I.A. “I know that she did it,” confirmed Tricky, “and I know that there’s a lot of other cool features, like I know that she has Santigold and Flo Rida on there.”

Tricky enlisted the “Right Round” rapper for one of the cuts. “I put Flo Rida on my record because I love what he does. I think sometimes he doesn’t get credit for being as dope as he is, but he’s really dope.”

Fans will have to wait until next year for the album while the pop star focuses on Burlesque, her musical co-starring Cher. “She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s gonna be a big record for her,” explained Tricky.

But rest assured that the futuristic-sounding project is on its way. “The album is finished. She’s mixing. She hasn’t made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options.”

News: Mariah Carey Says “I’m Going To Be A Mom”

Don’t let that quote from In Touch Magazine fool ya. Although she looks “bloated” these days, she’s not pregnant. But she can’t wait to be a mom.

After going through so much throughout her career, she has never seemed more at peace. And why shouldn’t she? She’s got a man who writes her love notes each morning, even after a year-and-a-half of marriage. She is getting Oscar buzz for her gritty role in the upcoming movie Precious. And she and Nick definitely want to start a family!

Beyonce, Aerosmith To Play Abu Dhabi

Beyonce And Aerosmith Headline Abu Dhabi's First Formula 1 Race; Timbaland Slated Too

(AP) An entertainment promoter says Beyonce and Aerosmith will headline concerts at the first ever Formula One race in Abu Dhabi.

Flash Entertainment said Monday the performers will open and close the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend next month.

Beyonce is slated to kick off the festivities on Thursday, Oct. 29. Aerosmith will wrap things up three days later. But the only way fans in the conservative Gulf city can see them is to buy tickets to the F1 race.

Concerts are also planned for Friday and Saturday, though the headliners haven't been announced.

Some of the attractions planned around the Emirati capital's first Formula One race include outdoor movies and free concerts _ including one by hip-hop producer Timbaland _ on the city's Persian Gulf beachfront.

News: 50 Cent Calls Kanye/GaGa Tour “The Gay Tour

50 Cent is being a sore loser AS USUAL! Remember the lil’ competition between 50 and Kanye? For those who dont know, Kanye and 50 both released their albums on the same day and they were obviously competing on who can sell more that week! Of course Mr 50 cent who is no more relevant lost to shameless Kanye West! Years later he’s still keeping that grudge!

50 Cent was on the Angie Martinez radio show yesterday and when the station was about to give away tickets to Lady Gaga and Kanye West’s upcoming “Fame Kills” tour. 50 Cent reponded with “ah, the gay tour.”

He justified his comments saying that was what Lady Gaga was calling it. The deejay corrected him saying that Gaga had explained to Kanye that she had a large gay following. 50’s reply?

“What did Kanye say, ‘Me, too?’”

50 continued with his failed attempt at a joke:

“Kanye’s cool with the gay folk. I have nothing against them, but he’s cool with them. He goes and drops his video off to them…Ellen. Ellen DeGeneres. He went there to premiere his video. He’s conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CD.”

News: Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt Says, Nicole Scherzinger Is Not A Friend

The Pussycat Dolls are… I don’t know. I’d like to say in this war that goes on forever.
To the extent when I hear news like this I have “What’s new” as a reponse.

Well, news is still news, so Kimberly has announced that Nicole is just a business associate and not a friend

According to sources:

“I get on well with most of the band but not everyone. Look, at the end of the day it’s a job – we all have our own lives to lead and our own projects going on,” Kimberley said, “I think of Nicole as just a business associate not as a friend. You cannot simply group girls together and just expect them to get on, can you? Life doesn’t work like that.” The 27-year-old added, “If Nicole left tomorrow, we could still carry on. I can see this band going on forever.”

Which reminds me, that is the exact thing one would say about that hated colleague in the office.

News: Ciara’s Fourth Studio Album Is On The Way

Ciara is apparently recording her fourth studio album and is almost done.
She will be working with The Dream & Tricky Stewart

According to sources:

Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and his songwriting partner The-Dream have been secretly spending the summer in the studio producing the entire follow-up to Ciara’s Fantasy Ride. Stewart broke the news to Rap-Up.com in an exclusive interview. “We’re doing the whole project,” he reveals. “We’re pretty good into it at this point. We’re about 14 songs deep right now.”The 23-year-old ATLien relocated to the West Coast to work on the album with Tricky and Dream, who crafted “High Price” and “Like a Surgeon” off this year’s Fantasy Ride. “She came out to L.A. to work with us. We’re out here making this record ’cause it feels good and the vibe is good,” says the Grammy-winning producer.

The as-yet-untitled effort will feature danceable tracks that have become Ciara’s signature. “This record obviously is gonna have tempo to it, but I think it’s gonna have even more substance than the last record,” Tricky discloses. “She dances and we always want to bring out what she does that other people don’t.”

Although Fantasy Ride boasted collaborations with a who’s who of the industry including Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and Ludacris, the “Love Sex Magic” singer will be riding solo this time. “This album we wanted to take a few steps back and make it more about her, so the only feature is Dream. But the features that we do on this record will be remixes.”

The hitmaker even shared a couple song titles with Rap-Up.com. “I love ‘Speechless.’ I love this record called ‘Gifted.’ Those are two of my favorites. ‘Speechless’ is the record with her and Dream together.”

While there’s still the possibility of a release by the end of the year, it’s looking like 2010 will mark Super C’s return. “It’s a little up in the air, but there’s a chance that it might come this year. That was the goal, but at the same time, we didn’t want to rush anything. I think it’s looking more like a next year thing.”

Ciara is pulling out all the stops to make this her best work yet. “Right now, she’s on her grind, coming back, trying to make a better album than she made last time and get back to that mark where everybody knew that she was in the top tier of the female business.”

News: Jay-Z Admits He Was Affected By Lil Mama’s Actions

I have no idea what is wrong with all these thick-skulled people, I mean, does doing all these gain you more fame? I would think it gains you notority.

Anyway, Jay-z admits that he was upset with Lil Mama for her famous disturbance on the stage recently.

According to sources:

After all the rumors and speculation, Jay-Z finally opens up about the Lil’ MaMa VMA stage crash to Hot 97’s Angie Martinez earlier today. And he admits to being a bit upset at the ruined performance…who would’n’t be? But having the number #1 album in the country will trump any negative feelings right now!

“I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that.” Jay told Angie Martinez today.

“We go to rehearsals, we do run-throughs, and we work really hard on the performance to put on a show for people. And to interrupt that moment for us, I don’t think that was the right thing to do.

I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I’m not a lil sweet girl from middle America.”

“I’m cool with her being excited and all that, but you also have to understand people put in work to make that performance happen–the planning of it, theres alotta planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that is out of line.”

“I was a little angry–but what imma do, fight Lil mama?”
