BEYONCE KICKS LINDSAY LOHAN OUT!

Lindsay Lohan & Beyonce were both in Singapore for the F1 Rocks Concert. While Lindsay was set to host the event, Beyonce was there to perform. However things got really uncomfortable backstage in the dressing rooms!




Apparently, Lindsay requested a big dressing room for herself & did not get it. Instead, she opted to take Beyonce's room! But when Bey showed up with her entourage of 70, Lindsay was immediately kicked out and wasn't too happy about it!




Sources also say that the temperature reached a smoltering 90 degrees backstage but Beyonce requested that none of the AC fans could be turned on; only until when she was performing.




That's kinda cruel chica!




Yahoo News reported that Beyonce had a 139 page rider (requests made by an artist prior to a performance) which included 6 beauty chambers, champagne & vodka, fitness equipment, authentic fruit platter and tea and honey to name a few.

Nicole Scherzinger, who was originally suppose to host the concert, was also there with her man Formula 1 Racer Lewis Hamilton.




As for Lindsay, be happy you even have a job!!!

VH1 DIVAS HIGHLIGHTS

I may be one of the few who actually tuned in for VH1's Divas Live Concert last night held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Let's face it, the Divas concerts have lost their edge for a while now.




Nonetheless, ya girl JB tuned in! The Divas concert consisted of great voices, great collabos, a spoof of Ellen & Paula Abdul even performed (more like lip synched) but her dance moves are still there! Watch the full show:

The crowd seemed unenergetic until Miley Cyrus came out. Ummmmm right. . . Why is she even in the show?! A diva? Really? I thought a diva were artists like Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin. I understand VH1 have pretty much used up all the true legends for their past shows but cmon!




Personally, I could've lived without Kelly Clarkson & Miley Cyrus.




It's okay. Maybe next year VH1.

SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001

For all the lives lost on this tragic date 8 years ago, our hearts go out to the families & friends affected by 9/11 who lost their beloved ones caused by a cruel unimaginable act of cowardness; or by putting their lives on the line just so others can go home to their families safe & sound.




Here's a montage from Glenn Becks. . . . Listen in:




CLick to listen to "Glenn Becks' Montage"

The Brooklyn hero murdered his live concert at the Garden & I'm not just sayin just because!



Jay-Z rapped every lyric with a punch & delivered each song like he was a 10 man show ! He played hits after hits. Hits that the audience & viewers at home I'm sure weren't expecting him to do!!




He's solidified himself as one of the greatest of all time in my book.





Man!! Drinks. Maryjane & Hovi music. Couldn't have been better!!!!

NY HIP HOP IS ALIVE

If you're trying to go to the Jay-Z concert at MSG this Friday, you're out of luck & will have to watch it via the TV like the rest of us!




The tickets went on sale today at 8AM for $50 a pop & sold out within 12 minutes!!!

Raekwon the Chef's Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 is out in stores today the same day as Hov's & surprisingly, it beat BP3 for the #1 spot on iTunes!





Hip hop fans stand up!!

JACKSON UPDATES: JANET JACKSON PAY RESPECTS TO MICHAEL AT THE VMAS

This is what I was hoping & waiting for!!!

Extremely reliable sources are saying Miss Janet Jackson has been rehearsing vigorously for a surprise tribute to her brother for this year’s VMA’s!!!

The tribute is said to bring the house down & is being choreographed by some of the top dancers in the game! It'll feature at least 20 background dancers, all of who have been practicing non stop 15 hours a day!

This will truly be a performance to remember! BET just didn't do it right & it's now up to MTV and their VMA's to pay homage to MJ correctly.

****On another note, some of the names for the Michael Jackson Tribute concert goin down in Vienna, Austria have been released. So far we know the concert will include soul group Sister Sledge, Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole & Chris Brown!

More names are expected to be released within the next few weeks.

If it were up to me, I'd say Breezy should be a part of that Janet Jackson MJ tribute too! Although, the gossip mill is saying MTV is quietly trying to exclude him from the VMA's since Rihanna will be in the buildin too but who knows!

I'll say this again, Chris Brown needs to be involved with anything & everything Michael Jackson.

VMA's are this Sunday! Coverage begins at 7PM.

ANSWER THE CALL WITH JAY-Z

Jiggaman and his wifey Beyonce were on hand for the Blueprint 3 September 11th benefit concert for family and friends affected by the lost lives of our city's finest police and firefighting heroes at Madison Square Garden.




Press from all around the world was there, including NYC's Governor, important officials, Executive Vice President of Warner Music Group Kevin Liles and of course Jay-Z. Skip towards the last 3 minutes of the video to listen to Hov speak:

I hear because of all the leaked music recently, Jay is planning to add extra bonus tracks for the 9/11 release of BP3 and for a re-release slated for Christmas.




Get your earplugs ready!

TLC IS BACK

After a 7 year hiatus from performing in the U.S as TLC since the passing of their crazy & well loved sister Left Eye, the remaining members T-Boz & Chilli are set to perform at Justin Timberlake's benefit concert at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on October 17th.





It's crazy. It's sexy. It's cool. Welcome back ladies!

JAY-Z SEPT. 11 CONCERT & ANOTHER LEAKED RECORD

To all the Hovian fans out there, it's already known that Jay-Z was planning to throw a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC on the day of his album release, September 11th.

New details have surfaced about the one night extravaganza & it's looking like it'll be an event everyone wants to see!

The concert is to help raise money for the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund who has distributed over $114 million to the families of police and firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

"This charity and concert encompass the true spirit of New York City," Jay-Z told AllHipHop in a statement. "We are asking everyone to 'answer the call' and support and honor the families of those that lost their lives in the line of duty. There was true camaraderie and resiliency that this city showed the world in 2001, and we continue that today by taking care of our own."

The concert will air live via Fuse Presents: Jay-Z Live from Madison Square Garden: Answer The Call on September 11 at 9:00 PM.

And this here is another leaked track produced by Timbaland again, off of Jiggaman's anticipated Blueprint 3 album called Reminder. Take a listen:

My favorite track I've heard by far!!!!!




Sounds like authentic Jay-Z if you ask me! And to the ones who'll be hating on his lyrics, he's not a young teenager anymore so what he has to say at the age of nearly 40, will be tremendously different from when he was 18.




Thank you, come again.

MAN & WOMAN SHOT AT FABOLOUS' CONCERT

Police in Allentown, Pennsylvania are investigating a shooting that left a man & a woman injured, after a concert featuring Fabolous.

Fabolous was in town to promote his latest album/movie Loso's Way. The rapper performed without incident inside the Crocodile Rock Café in downtown Allentown.

Around 2:30 AM yesterday, shots erupted in the parking lot, injuring a man and a woman.

Both victims were transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest & their conditions were not immediately available.

Investigators are still seeking a motive for the shooting and the suspects.

Good luck findin em in the boondocks!

DRAKE WANTS TO LOSE HIS LEG

Drake sure is persistent!



Even after his knee giving in and despite what the doctors say & even though he'll be going in for surgery this week, Drizzy showed up in his hometown of Toronto for the Amerika's Most Wanted Tour stop with cane & all:

He performed what else, Best I Ever Had.




What is wrong with this guy? If he doesn't sit his ass down and chill out for a few, he won't have a leg to walk with!

METHOD MAN SUED FOR SHOOTIN FAN WITH PELLET GUN

M.E.T.H.O.D man has got some serious legal issues!




Mary Anderson from Fort Bend County, Texas is suing Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, for alleging shooting her with a pellet gun from the window of his tour bus while she was trying to get an autograph after a concert with Redman at the House of Blues in Houston.




A pellet gun Meth?!




In the lawsuit which was filed on Thursday, Anderson claims she was hit at least six times in the chest and torso area and required medical attention after the incident. She's also suing for infliction of bodily injury, infliction of emotional distress, as well as offensive physical contact.

Anderson is seeking compensation for physical pain in suffering in the past and future, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement and legal and medical bills incurred because of the shooting.

If you Meth wasn't famous, it would just be a random act of hoodness. Unfortunately he is and unfortunately celebrities have to pay for doing stupid shit like this.

JAY-Z PAYS TRIBUTE TO MCA AT ALL POINTS WEST

The great Hova himself took the Beastie Boys' place as the headliner for the All Points West Festival when MCA broke the news to everyone he had cancer and would have to cancel all performances until he gets treatments for the disease.



So Jay-Z did a wonderful gesture when he opened the show this past weekend:

Spread love it's the Brooklyn way.

VH1 DIVAS LIVE 2009

Here's a show on VH1 that doesn't suck, the networks Divas Live is back!



The concert this year will be held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (I've seen many plays there growing up & my JHS graduation was held there. )



Who will they be honoring this year?? You may scratch your heads while reading this.



Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, Adele & Miley Cyrus?!!!




How'd it go from having Whitney Houston & Aretha Franklin at one point to this lousy cast??




The show will air live on Thursday, September 17th on VH1.

That's the first Divas Live concert ever & the best one by far! I recorded it on VHS when it aired haha. Needless to say, they've downgraded incredibly throughout the years. From the very first show with true divas to the current lineup.




Bleh.

NEYO RESPONDS TO HIS CONCERT BREAKDOWN

So the blogs have been going nutso with this footage of Neyo breaking down, all out crying, tears flowing the whole nine at his concert in Manchester, England. He first took the stage, walked off then walked back, only to just start bursting out in tears!! Here's the clip:








Those were some serious waterworks!



The R&B singer took the Global Grind to write a blog addressing the emotional break down and answers to the unmanly scrutiny he's received for his antics at the concert:

I'm currently on tour in the UK. This tour began right after a 4 month stint in Prague shooting a world war 2 movie. We're in a different city in a different part of the UK every night, moving non stop. Since my first album, roughly 5 years ago, I've taken 1 vacation, and even that was about 2 years ago.

Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me.

I got on stage energized and ready to go, even tho for the last 5 days I've been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn't take it. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn't until about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done, literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show.

Now let me explain something to you:

When I say this music, that stage, my fans, THIS is my life, I'm not saying it cause it sounds good in a sound bite. THIS IS MY LIFE!! Not much else matters to me, honestly.

My music, my family and the people that appreciate my music…..the fans. THAT'S ABOUT IT!!

I've never had to stop a show, never dreamed I'd ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart.

I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.

To anyone out there that would like to question my manhood because of this I'll say this to you:

If the one thing you cared about more than anything else in the world was threatened or even taken from you, if you knew that the people you cared for the most you had to disappoint and it was your fault… and this didn't spark some kind of emotional outbreak within you…then with no shame I'll say you are truly a stronger man than I.

To the people of Manchester, know that I love you and I thank you for being so understanding and supportive. And I promise you that you will receive the show deserved.

Thanks to the fans for the love and concern.

And to the bloggers….go to hell.

Sincerely, Ne*Yo!!

These tough schedules artists endure are without a doubt strenuous. I believe you Neyo but wow. You musta been super stressed!

JIGGA MAN ADDED TO BET AWARDS 2009

BET announced yesterday that Jay-Z will be added to the lineup of performers for the awards show on June 28.

The rapper joins his wife Beyonce, as well as Kanye West, the Dream, Maxwell, Ne-Yo and others on the performance roster. Jamie Foxx will be hosting the event.

Jay-Z also spoke about his upcoming album Blueprint 3 being released on September 11th, which is the anniversary of his first Blueprint album.

He told Angie Martinez on HOT 97 in NY, "“It’s the date the first one came out and it was a horrible date in our history. I have a wonderful idea for a show, proceeds are gonna go to charity. You know, just bring it full circle. I have a historic venue in mind, I’m gonna bring some artists out. It’s gonna be big.”

Sucha innovator Hov'! You and your wifey!

The performances for this year's BET Awards sound like it's gonna be bananas.

BEYONCE BRINGS OUT GEORGE MICHAEL AT HER LONDON CONCERT

Beyonce looking like a fashion queen was spotted leaving London early thismorning. She's officially done with the London leg of her tour and flew back to JFK airport.


While her hubby Jay-Z was making a mark performing D.O.A to a sold out crowd at Giants Stadium, Beyonce too made her share of surprise and excitement by bringing out George Michael at her last concert at the London 02 Arena. Check out the video. The two performed If I Were Boy.

You know you're a force to be reckoned with when you have superstars and legends like this willing to come out and perform with you. They won't show up to any old broads concert to perform! Only Beyonce could pull this one off & it gave me goosebumps! She is a total legend in the making. I love the Xena warrior princess looking outfit & hair. She's the best ever!!!
