Fantasia Pushes Back New Album
It may be a New Year, but the same issues are plaguing some of our most anticipated releases.
Unfortunately, the dreaded “push back” has struck again with singer Fantasia its latest victim.
Originally slated for release next month, the star’s fourth studio album ‘The Side Effects Of You’ has been held back until an undetermined date. And while many anticipated this in the absence of a radio or video release for its lead single ‘Lose To Win’, the American Idol alum has explained why the move to delay the “rock soul” sounding set was a must.

Her words after the jump…
Writing on Facebook moments ago, the 28 year old announced…
In many ways, we applaud Ms. Barrino’s decision — although we’re sure it was just as much the record label’s as it was hers.
For, following her unintentional, yet damaging comments back in December, she clearly was in need of image rehabilitation; something only time and space would be able to repair.
What’s more, as unique as ‘Lose To Win’ is, there’s much to be said about the fact that we didn’t give it much (if any) play beyond the week it premiered. Jury’s still out on whether this is due to it being rush-released during the Holiday season or if it just isn’t that good. What is certain, though, is that the track doesn’t demand a listen nor does it have a sense of urgency to play — which is dangerous given that there is no longer the reality show platform to push her material.

Our advice to Ms. Barrino would be to ignore the negativity, ditch the “woe is me” malarkey, and just focus on churning out a solid album. R&B may not be where it once was commercially, yet her talent remains ever-on-point. It’s time she remind the world why  took to her in the first place.

For now though, take a listen to ‘Lose To Win’

Michael Jackson’s Son Prince Lands His First Job
In a bit of unexpected TV staffing news, Entertainment Tonight announced Monday that it has made Prince Michael Jackson an on-air correspondent. Just 16 years old, the eldest child of Michael Jackson — started his new life as a member of Entertainment Tonight staff over the weekend at a Pasadena junket for Disney’s Oz the Great and Powerful. It may seem like nepotism at its best, but Prince says he has a genuine interest in pursuing work in entertainment. “I’m looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor,” Prince said.

I wonder what would Michael think?



Lil Wayne Signs His Daughter, Reginae, To YMCMB
Say what you want about Lil Wayne, but the man takes care of his kids and in my eyes that's something you have to respect! I'm ALL about the kids and so is Lil Wayne as the word on the internet curb is that he just signed his daughter, Reginae, to his label Young Money (YMCMB).
As I'm sure you all know, Reginae used to be a part of the group the "O.M.G. Girlz". For whatever the reasons, Lil Wayne took Reginae out of the group and has since moved on. Now, Reginae is said to be a solo artist and Lil Wayne is expecting her to follow in her daddy's footsteps and become a mega star!
Cash Money's CEO, Mack Maine, confirmed the news of Lil Wayne signing on Reginae in a recent interview done with Rap-Up.com

So Young Money has a new division out called "Young Money Youngins"? This is definitely going to be interesting! Now what are your thoughts?


Floyd Mayweather Inks Record Breaking Deal With Showtime
The man can certainly talk a good game outside the ring and in business. 35-year-old Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has inked a pretty lucrative deal with Showtime. Check out the press release below:
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Undefeated eight-time world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather, boxing’s pound-for-pound king and the highest paid athlete in the world (Forbes, 2012), has entered into a groundbreaking pay-per-view deal with Showtime Networks Inc. and its parent company, CBS Corporation. Under the new deal, SHOWTIME PPV® will collaborate with CBS Corporation to comprehensively promote Mayweather’s events on the CBS Television Network and via the corporation’s expansive media platforms.

The deal—a unique revenue-sharing arrangement between SHOWTIME PPV and Mayweather—will enable him to fight up to six times over a period of 30 months, with the first mega-event taking place on May 4, 2013, when Mayweather will fight Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. More details of this upcoming event will be announced shortly.

Mayweather’s new deal is by far the biggest in the sport of boxing (specific financial details are contractually confidential). Mayweather is the PPV king and averages over 1 million PPV buys per event, which is the highest PPV buy average of any boxer in history. At this record-setting PPV performance level, if all six fights contemplated by this deal occur, it will be the richest individual athlete deal in all of sports.
Congrats, to Floyd and #theMoneyTeam.


New Beyonce Pepsi Promo Unwrapped
As the music industry waits with bated breath for Beyonce‘s new single, brand partners Pepsi have unveiled another promotional shot of the singer.
The image, which tributes artist Andy Wahol, is the latest snap to surface ahead of the drink’s giant’s full-on media blitz in support of King B’s 5th studio album (due in April).
With a stated view to ensure the project is the Grammy winner’s “biggest yet”, the multi-national are sponsoring ‘The Mrs Carter Show’ world tour, funding music videos, and are (from next month) issuing special edition cans and bottles with the singer’s image on them…
Needless to say, with $50 million being leveraged towards the project, it’s smart guessing that Pepsi Bey will feature prominently on many a Forbes list this year. More power to her.
In the more immediate, though, can we get the single already?! Or at least an announcement of its pending arrival.


Metta Wold Peace Wakes Up To 4 Armed Men At Condo Complex
Metta World Peace was awaken as the police were called in response to 4 armed men in his basketball court of the condo complex.

TMZ reports that LAPD was called to the scene for 4 men with 3 handguns and one shotgun. They were allegedly stalking around the NBA stars home.

The ‘armed suspects’ came out to police and claimed they were returning home with the guns they used for recording a video. The men apparently got off with a warning. The warning was for carrying the weapons in public.


K.Michelle Questions Sexuality of Mimi Faust’s New Boyfriend says he’s on The DL!

That whole album is about that boy [JR Smith]. When dudes use us for coochie, I use them for songs.On if she essentially got played in her relationship with JR:
Yeah, man he played me. I was in love. I was so open dude, I was ready to cook breakfast naked. I was ready to sit own. I was very sincere. He was so persistent. I was going thru my angry black woman syndraome, it was lot of nagging, a lot of fussing.On if she considers herself the old Keyshia Cole and Mary J. Blige, singing out of anger and pain:
I have a lot of women that come up to me like ‘I hate my boyfriend! Thank you.’On what her role will be this season on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta:
We’re into the six episode and I’ve cursed everyone out.
On conflict that she’s had already this season:
Mimi has a new boyfriend, I think he’s downlow. That’s my opinion. Normal stuff I wouldn’t be in the middle of. I really just wanna be in the studio.On if she likes Tahiry Jones’ (of Love & Hip Hop New York) new song:
No i don’t like that record, but i love her.On rumors that she’s moving to New York:
I love it here. The city is so big. New people, new personalities. Atlanta- i’m just over it.On why she didn’t perform a few months ago, at Lyfe Jennings’ show: 
Yo, I was so wrong for that. I was like ‘No he’s gonna go on first, he’s been in jail.’ I ended up saying I would go on. I’ve learned as an artist, regardless of anything your, fans are first.

Listen to the interview


Thoughts? And why is she concerned if he’s a BUTCH QUEEN or not?


Erica Mena Fights Again
Reality TV can sometimes be a little tricky because the producers of the show can create these scenarios that in real life one might not normally be around, and unfortunately in this particular case, it seems that Erica Mena feels that's exactly what happened to her. So here's what went down below:

The producers of Vh1's "Love & Hip Hop New York" were filming at the "Nail Lounge" in New York City when Erica Mena and a blonde haired woman by the name of Tiffany came to blows "allegedly" over a man. I'm not sure if the man in question was Broke Pennies because he was there on the scene arguing with women as is his M.O.

In any event, Erica Mena can be heard screaming at the producers of the show "F*ck all of yall! This is what yall wanted!". The scene was complete chaos as security tried their best to separate the two brawling ladies.

So get ready to check out the madness NOW HERE!
