LOL!!!! Lady Gaga Featured on "The Simpsons"

The Mamma Monster is set to make an appearance as her animated self on “The Simpsons” in “Lisa Goes Gaga” for the season 23 finale. 
Video:
Donning 18 different outfits, Lady Gaga will try to boost The Simpson family’s eldest daughter’s spirits after she becomes a complete social outcast.


The 26-year-old super star said, "I play a bit of a slut. The apple doesn't fall far from my artistic tree."
In the show, the singer encourages Lisa and tells her it’s okay to be different and unique, while the show’s creator Matt Groening said, "Since the very beginning, I’ve always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she’s it. It’s very hard to top reality with her, but I’m sure we’ll come up with something that is going to be as improbable as her usual wardrobe.”


TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD CHAKA! Mamma lost 60 pounds!
Chaka Khan has rocked many looks over the years — the Grammy winner is a timeless beauty regardless of her dress size. These days she is really looking great and healthy. The music icon dropped 60 pounds recently and showed it all off while performing at a few events this weekend, as she dazzled in a black catsuit.
Many have wondered if she had medical intervention but in a recent interview I recall she did mention that she lost weight for her health. Now she’s free of both high blood pressure and diabetes. She makes 59 look great!!!


Tyra Banks and her GOTH Look!?
America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks always encourages her protégés to look 'fierce'.
But the 38-year-old took her own advice to the extreme at last night's Moth Ball in New York City.
Instead of wearing a sexy smokey eye, the former chat show host streaked her entire face with charcoal shadow.

In addition to to the grey gone wild, Banks then added a crayon pink lip. 
The overall effect of her face was ghoulish when it could have been gorgeous.
At least her metallic gown was flattering, though its bronze shade seemed at odds with her pewter palette.
She accessorised with two huge gold earrings which looked like lamp tassels.
She seems firmly rooted in her modelling days, given the nature of a specific tweet during the event. 
She posted on her Twitter page: 'Another @themoth pic Even tho I don't model anymore, I can't seem2pose normal. I'm struck w/fierce posing syndrome.' 

Banks, who has periodically struggled with her weight since leaving her catwalk days behind, is applauding Vogue editors for their new policy, which bans models under the age of 16.
The movement was meant to protect the teenagers from feeling like they needed to maintain a certain weight in order to appear in the fashion bible's glossy pages.
The American's Next Top Model host told CNN recently: 'I think it’s amazing that they’re (editors) doing it because they do not have to. There is nothing legal saying that Vogue had to make this decision. This is something that they are doing on their own. 
'When I heard about it. … I’m like, ‘Oh my god this is a moment to celebrate.’ … I live for this, for expanding the definition of beauty, for not having a stereotype and such a one physicality that we all have to live up to, so I applaud Vogue.'


Superhead and BowWow Rekindling Romance? 

Alleged married mom and possibly pregnant social gadfly, Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans, has been dropping hints that she and Young Money artist Bow Wow are enjoying a little tryst...
But according to her Tweets she seems more shady!




Your Thoughts?


Leona Lewis Slams Kanye West
She’s usually known for her meek and mild manner, but this week saw Leona Lewis ‘hit out’ like she’s never done before.
Find out why she’s slamming ‘College Dropout’ Kanye West below…

In response to a lyric in the Rapper’s cut ‘Theraflu‘, Lewis tweeted:
Heard that awful Kanye W song talking about minx dragging on the floor. What an awful thing to be proud of!
I take all my love for him back!

The line she is referring to reads as following:
Can’t a young nigga get money anymore?
Tell PETA my mink is draggin’ on the floor
Can I have a bad bitch wit’out no flaws
Come to meet me wit’out no drawers?

Clearly peeved by the comment (most likely due to her work as animal rights activist) Lewis is yet to receive a response from West but did receive support from fans, some of whom tweeted:
Rafiya A. Mason ‏ @BigBlackLesbian
Tell it!
Sam Adams ‏ @Jellotime91:
Brass balls!! Love you for being so outspoken!
Tiffany ‏ @tiffanyem92
@leonalewismusic haha yeah Kanye pretty much sucks.

Leona is currently gearing up for the release of ‘Glassheart’, her third studio LP due out this November.

So, what do you think? Should Kanye apologize?


Jill Scott ROLE PLAYS IT UP For VH1 "Storytellers" Taping
Jill Scott shut it down for her VH1 "Storytellers" taping at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC.
The powerhouse singer, who is now a mom of one, reminded the whole room of why she doesn't need the flashing lights and choreographed dance moves and theatrics to put on a performance. Last night, Jill Scott ran through her best songs from her catalog and explained the meaning and purpose of each one, as every artist does for their "Storytellers" show.

Jilly changed her wardrobe to dress the part of each song she performed--a red wig with bamboo earrings and ripped up jeans for "Getting in the Way," a sexy wife in a gorgeous gown for "He Loves Me," a fun loving look for "Golden," and more. She broke down the lyrics to each song, including "Is It The Way," "Crown Royal," "Come See Me"...and even showcased her opera skills while singing one of the tracks in Italian.
The "Blessed" singer also answer questions from the audience. The craziest one was the answer to where the strangest place was that she found inspiration for a song? "On the toilet..a song about letting go." Oh!

Jilly was spotted at the afterparty at Ink 48 with celeb supporter Janelle Monae. Jill's "Storytellers" premieres May 21st at 9PM ET/PT on VH1.

Nicki Minaj Sex Tape on the Way?
You know what they say: When all else fails try some hoe shit. With her record sales underwhelming and her big Pepsi commercial turning out to be little more than a cameo, word around the curb is that a Nicki Minaj sex tape leak is on the horizon...

According to Ms Snitch via All Hip Hop
Our source tells us exclusively that Nicki Minaj allegedly has a sex tape that is set to leak any day now, and you will never guess who her co-star is! No, it is not her rumored fiancé, Safaree, or her Young Money boss, Lil’ Wayne.
Our source tells us that the man who is in the alleged sex tape with Nicki Minaj is none other than G.O.O.D. Music rapper, Big Sean! The two allegedly slept together right around the time they shot the music video for Big Sean’s “Dance (A$$)” remix, and the whole thing was caught on tape.


Erica Reid's Book Launch “The Thriving Child”
Erica Reid, the wife of music industry legend & "X-Factor" judge L.A. Reid, celebrated the release of her new book The Thriving Child with a few of her friends like Beyonce, Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.
Celebs showed up for friend Erica Reid's book signing recently wearing the vintage style blue Roland Muret "Galaxy" dress from the Fall 2005 collection as Erica promoted her new book, The Thriving Child: Parenting Successfully through Allergies, Asthma and Other Common Challenges.
Posing with Mary, Miss Tina and Bey, Erica, the mother of 11-year-old daughter Arianna and eight-year-old son Addison said in a recent interview "I love my children, I am very sweet to them but I'm also very firm with them, and they don't get their way with every single thing."

Great advice Erica!


Boyz II Men Weigh In On Modern R&B
With a career spanning two decades, Boyz II Men remain R&B’s most influential troupe with feats that include one LP certified 9x platinum and 4 #1 singles under their belt.
Releasing their latest album ‘Twenty’ back in October, the trio sat down with our friends over She’s So Major recently for an insightful interview, which saw them weigh in on the state of today’s R&B.

On Contemporary R&B, Wanya explained:
The state of R&B is in a transitional stage right now. There are artists in the industry right now that are trying to maintain the integrity of it such as the Ne-Yo’s, the Beyonce’s, Usher, Chris Brown but R&B has taken a backseat for a minute to hip-hop. Now it’s starting to poke it’s little head up there and starting to make it’s way into the hearts and minds of the consumer that want to fall in love all over again and hopefully with this album Twenty, we can help people to do that.

Adding to this, Shawn commented:
It’s just one of those things that still exudes a certain soul and feeling that will always have it’s place in people’s hearts. If it becomes mainstream…that’s something else.
Like Adele, a lot of people don’t consider her “R&B” because she’s white but she’s singing R&B music and she’s singing soul music.
You see what type of year she had. So, R&B music still has it’s place in the minds of people. It’s just all the matter of artists actually believing in themselves and with that, they’ll make it more of what it is.

Did Michael Jackson Ordered Me To Kill His Brother Randy? 
A former bodyguard for Michael Jackson is painting a murderous and maniacal picture of the late pop star in a new interview with “The Sun.” Matt Fiddes tells the British newspaper the Michael Jackson he knew was a paranoid extremist who once ordered his bodyguards to kill his younger brother Randy. Fiddes says Michael was at war with his brothers for years as they desperately tried to get him to sign a multi-million-dollar deal for a Jackson 5 reunion tour.

He says things reached a boiling point when Randy once tried to force his way past Michael’s bodyguards to speak to the pop star at one of his rented homes.
That’s when, Fiddes tells “The Sun,” Michael ordered them to shoot Randy.
No one of course took Jackson’s order seriously as Fiddes noted he believed Michael to “out of his mind on drugs” at the time.
Fiddes has been sharing bizarre details about his alleged experiences with the late singer to “The Sun” for a while now, although no one seems to be able to back up his stories.
He told the paper last week that Michael despised Madonna and poked a voodoo doll of director Steven Spielberg. Jackson’s estate also has yet to comment on Fiddes’ claims.
