Prince Announces Not One, But Two New Albums: ‘Art Official Age’ & ‘PLECTRUMELCTRUM’
Time and time again, Prince has proven that he doesn't play by the rules, he creates them. So it should come as no surprise that his Purple Highness would release not one, but two albums on the same day. Making the big announcement on today's Good Morning America telecast, the two albums, Art Official Age and PLECTRUMELCTRUM, are both set to drop on September 30th. While Art Official Age is a solo album, PLECTRUMELCTRUM is an album from Prince's backing band 3RDEYEGIRL. Both albums are executive produced by Prince, with 3RDEYEGIRL's album being recorded live and in analog.
The two albums also mark a momentous return for Prince since both albums are set to be released on Warner Bros. Records, the label that Prince famously went up against for the master recordings of albums such as Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain and Sign 'O' The Times. The two new albums also add to an already big year for the normally media-shy musician who got in on the Instagram fun, took over The Arsenio Hall Show, guest starred on an episode of The New Girl and headlined the opening night of this year's ESSENCE Festival where he celebrated the 30th anniversary release of Purple Rain.
Tour dates to support both albums are set to be announced shortly. In the meantime, Art Official Age and PLECTRUMELECTRUM are available for pre-order on via Prince's website and for anyone who orders both albums, you can get an additional 15% off the purchase. Check out the tracklistings for both albums right here, along with links to songs that will find a home on these two highly anticipated collections.

Dwyane Wade Throw Shots at Lebron James
Dwyane Wade has been in his feelings since Lebron left for greener pastures back in Ohio and now he’s
D. Wade and Haslem have been teammates since 2003, when they both entered the league together (Wade was drafted out of Marquette University and Haslem signed as an undrafted rookie out the University of Florida).
The jab of LeBron James comes when Wade expresses how he and Haslem “stick together on and off the court.” The subliminal message of loyalty to one another is clear from the caption in this post.
Well after all he did lose 25 million because of Free Agency!
Rihanna & Cliff Dixon Rumored New Couple, Dixon Denies It!
Rihanna is now rumored to be dating Cliff Dixon. The same Cliff Dixon she was spotted with at NBA player, Kevin Durant‘s, BBQ and pool party during the 4th of July weekend.
Reports emerged that there may be more going on with these two after Dixon shared the above image with his followers, on social media, after attending the singer’s Monster tour Saturday night. He captioned the image with, “Tryna steal my pose huh? You can have it boo you look better doing it anyway.”
And back in June, Dixon also shared a photo of the singer, naming her his #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday).
Upon sharing the above image he wrote, “She said they gonna hate no matter what, I said the PJ ready, Where you wanna go for lunch?”
But who is Cliff Dixon, many want to know. He’s said to a fellow basketball player, and Durant’s BFF, but failed to go pro.
Dixon is already attempting to dispute the rumors.
When asked by a follower whether reports he was now dating the singer, here’s what Dixon had to say below.
What do you think, Is he just toying with us or could something really be going on between these two?
‘The View’s’ Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg allegedly feuding
Rosie O’Donnell has already been accused of feuding with potential “The View” host, NeNe Leakes, and though those rumors were quickly put to rest, it appears that O’Donnell’s been accused of acting like a diva toward current “The View” co-host, Whoopi Goldberg.
According to RadarOnline, Goldberg has been sitting comfortably in the moderator seat for years, but O’Donnell, who will make her return to the show as a co-host, wants to take over Goldberg’s role and Goldberg, of course, isn’t happy about it.
“Rosie wants it back from Whoopi,” said an insider. “It doesn’t matter to Rosie that Whoopi has sat there for the last several years. Rosie doesn’t want to be sitting anywhere but back in her old spot. In Rosie’s mind, this is once again her show. Whoopi won’t be giving it up, and Rosie even suggested they trade seats every other week. It’s all a power trip for Rosie, which is resulting in tension on the staff.”
The source claims that Goldberg is fed up with O’Donnell and, although she signed a four-year contract with ABC to return as a host, she’s ready to walk away from the show to avoid any more drama.
“Whoopi regrets roping herself in like that and is trying to figure a way out,” said a source close to Goldberg. “She wants to do other projects and feels network honchos are holding her back.”
This isn’t the first time that Goldberg has reportedly complained about the way things are being run at “The View.” When the show’s founder and executive producer, Barbara Walters, retired in May, Goldberg reportedly complained that “I’ve been working with a cranky 85-year-old woman who’s been mad about everything for two years, and I need a break,” referring to Walters.
But if Goldberg is looking for any sympathy from the show’s producers, the source claims that she should think again.
“Bringing Rosie back was a guarantee that there would be controversy. Rosie has been boasting she will be at ‘The View’ for a very long time, and won’t be playing second fiddle to anyone,” said the source.
Well, we hope that this story is just a rumor, just like the one about O’Donnell wanting to ban Leakes, as well as all other reality TV personalities, from being a host on the show. But if it is true, we don’t doubt that producers are going to instigate as much drama as possible for the sake of ratings.
Tyson Beckford Says Bieber Is Too Little To Handle His Ex
Watch out folks! Tyson Beckford is taking shots at Justin Bieber!
TMZ cameras caught up with the Beckford outside of 1Oak in West Hollywood and questioned the somewhat tipsy actor on the fact that his ex-girlfriend, Shanina Shaik, was seen in Ibiza on a yacht hanging out with Justin Bieber just weeks ago.
“Actually she didn’t spend too much time with Bieber, she spent a lot of time with me,” the 43-year-old said about his 23-year-old ex.
Tyson started dating the Victoria’s Secret Angel when she was 17-years-old which makes her a lot closer to Bieber in age. Still, Beckford doesn’t think Justin is man enough to handle her, “Little boys can’t have grown man toys,” he said referring to Bieber.
Do you think Bieber is going to respond to Beckford?
LeBron & Savannah James CELEBRATE Zhuri's Arrival With Family & Friends-Filled BABY Shower In
After a week long family “push gift” vacation in Mykonos, LeBron and Savannah James headed back to their hometown of Akron, Ohio to celebrate their daughter’s upcoming arrival.
A glowing Savannah looked effortlessly beautiful in a long flowy blush gown and flowered crown as she was all smiles, snapping a photo with her sister Deidre Norris (who serves on the LeBron James Family Foundation board), her mother-in-law Gloria James and her own mother.
LeBron was overjoyed during the occasion, posting the picture above with the caption,
My sister·My wife·My mother·My mother in law=gorgeous/beautiful/pretty/humble/spectacular/out of this world/caring/sharing/loving/strong/loyal/and did I gorgeous! Yup I did. My ladies @ms_deidre @mrs_savannahrj Glo and Jennifer #LoveYall #ThankYou
The glowing mother-of three-to-be posed it up with Sports & Entertainment realtor Tomi Rose. She captioned, “The Baby Shower was wonderful and SO much fun! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate my new little one! Hope everyone had a good time! Xo #LoveYouAll”
Family and friends filled the outside event to celebrate little Zhuri Nova James' entrance into the world (which isn't too much longer). She will be joining big brothers LeBron James, Jr. and Bryce Maximus James.
More pics of the radiant Mrs. James all smiles with family and friends during her shower below:
Loves it! And a special gift she received:
A few custom designed nameplates that she wore during the baby shower. She shared her gratitude saying, “Thank you so so so much @luvmuse for my last minute request! You got the stars down to a science now. Lol! #ManyThanks" Cute!
Karrueche Tran Clowns Blue Ivy's Hair
Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran has a rough first day on the job after she clowns Blue Ivy hair on national TV…
BET and 106 and Park set Karruche Tran up for failure yesterday by having her read a list of the top six things Blue Ivy was thinking while she on stage with her father Jay Z to present her mother Beyonce with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.
Reading from a teleprompter Karrueche Tran joked that the no. 6 thing Blue Ivy was thinking while on stage was,
"I really did wake up like this because my parents don't comb my hair."
WATCH:
WOW….. I cant believe BET would approve a comment like that. Its 2014! Plus, natural hair is in nowadays! We are really making jokes about natural hair on toddlers? That's real lame and small minded.
Tiny’s Mother Miss Dianne Cottle-Pope’s BIG 69th Birthday Party!
Tiny’s mother Mrs. Dianne Cottle-Pope had a major birthday party surrounded by their family and close friends. The day was all about Ms. Dianne as she enjoyed good food, great company, and her 69th birthday.
Tameka Tiny Harris alongside her executive assistant Rian Parish threw a lavish private birthday party for Mrs. Dianne Cottle-Pope. The theme was Coco Chanel meaning the cake was shaped as a lavish handbag box and Mrs. Dianne was gifted a couple of Chanel pieces.
The entire Harris clan was in attendance for the celebration of Ms. Dianne Cottle-Pope’s 69th birthday.
The restaurant was closed to the public as the family enjoyed a decadent meal prepared by a live chef..
There was live performance by Saxophonist Charles Marshall who played any song you would want to hear on demand.
The night got even more special after Tiny commissioned me to paint a picture of her father Mr. Charles Pope of The Tams. Tiny’s brothers and sisters were all in attendance and loved the portrait of Mr. Pope.!
Wishing Ms. Dianne Cottle-Pope a very happy birthday and many many more.

‘Little Bo’s Peep Show’
Little Bo Peep had a gothic sister nobody in the family liked to talk about. It was a much more depressing nursery rhyme.
