‘Fast and Furious 7′ Trailer is Super Hot!
Whooo weee!
We just saw the trailer for “Furious 7” and if you’re into suspended belief of reality, then you’re about to get a cookie, if you know what we mean. The action is off the charts.
Of course the other story is the death of one of the film’s stars, Paul Walker, during a break in production. Fortunately filming was able to resume with the help of Walker’s brothers, Caleb and Cody.
This installment again stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker — in his last film — Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese, Ludacris and others, including newcomers Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou and Kurt Russell.

Look for “Furious 7″ in theaters on April 3, 2015.
Maysa Releases Exceptionally Fresh Holiday Album, ‘A Very Maysa Christmas’
“People asked me,” simply said Maysa, a Grammy Award nominated Contemporary Jazz singer, when asked why she recorded a Christmas album. The album is titled “A Very Maysa Christmas” and it features Gerald Albright and Will Downing. “My record company said, ‘we’ll put it out.’…and after 20,000 sales ownership comes back to me!”
The album is on the Shanachie imprint where she received a Grammy Award nomination for her 2013 project release “Blue Velvet Soul.” The Maryland native has released 11 albums, seven on Shanachie Entertainment.
“It has great arrangements,” Maysa said about the Christmas project. “My producer (Chris “Big Boy” Davis)…is really good at arranging. I’m proud of him. I think we did good Jazz R&B and Gospel.”
“A Very Maysa Christmas” is an exceptionally fresh Christmas album. My favorites on the project include “The Little Drummer Boy” because of that Jazzy spin on an old choral, I like that African flavor too, and the horn support gave it that “cherry on the cake” feeling; “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” featuring rap support from Jigz; “Jingle Bells” because she kept it traditional, but gave is some scat at the end to give it that Jazz feel; “Christmas Time is Here” is simply lovely – and I love the keys on this one; “The First Noel” sounds like if there was a sound for snow it would be this song, and “Silver Bells” featuring Gerald Albright for his voice, and Maysa taking off at the end scatting as a true Queen of Jazz should.
“Since I was a little girl I wanted to sing… since 6 years old,” Maysa pointed out when I talked about her tremendous career and contribution to Contemporary Jazz. “Each step I know God had me in his hands. He gave me things I never thought of…I relax and pray and things come to me….God diffidently heard.”
After college Maysa moved to California to work as Stevie Wonder’s backup singer in his Wonder Love Group. Later she had a phone audition for the British group founded by Bluey called Incognito, and became the face and voice of the already well known London based band. Three years later she would release her solo debut and top the Billboard Charts, as well as garner a Soul Train Award.
Maysa is touring with “Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour”. You can log onto www.Maysa.com for more information on “A Very Maysa Christmas,” or dates on the “Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour.”

Tamar Braxton Threatens to Leave ‘Braxton Family Values’ Over Bad Editing
Tamar Braxton is none too pleased with reality TV these days. In particular her portrayal in one non-scripted show, Braxton Family Values. The WeTV series has been on for four seasons and follows the Braxton sisters (Toni, Tamar,Traci, Towanda, and Trina) and their mother, Evelyn.
So what’s the issue? The Real co-host feels that the show is being a bit unfair with how they edit her. In fact, she’s so pissed about what she’s seen thus far that she’s not sure if she’ll return. In an interview with Renada Romain, she tells the radio host she’s unsure if she’ll come back.
I’ve not quite made up my mind yet….I feel like I really work hard for everything I have. Nothing has been handed to me, no matter if people want to contribute that to Toni’s success or Vincent’s success. At the end of the day, I have to get up early every day and bust my behind just like everybody else…
Tamar’s husband, Vincent Herbert, isn’t sure if she should return either: Saying, It’s not worth Tamar’s relationship with her sisters. That’s what attracted me to this woman. She loves her family so hard…It’s a little sad for me to watch my wife defend herself when I know how much she loves her family.
WATCH:
Are Tamar’s points valid? And should she consider leaving the show?
Beyoncé Volume 2 Surprise Album Drop?
A photograph circulating the viral universe alleges Beyoncé has got another secret album to drop. Beyoncé Volume 2 would serve as additional material from the eponymous fifth album that broke the Internet last December.
The question begs: is the photo real? No one from Bey’s camp has confirmed nor denied what the snapshot reads –– a “release confirmation” and complete tracklist issued by the singer’s company, Parkwood Entertainment.
Someone either seriously f*cked up (some unlucky intern, perhaps?), or this is just one sick joke. It could even be a genius ploy to build further hype in anticipation for the drop, no?
If you notice, the “digital release date” on iTunes is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 14, and the physical four-disc set is slated to hit shelves Monday, Nov. 25. However, the 25th is actually a Tuesday –– things that make you go “hmmmm!”
The extended tracklist (below) includes two eyebrow-raising, yet very intriguing songs. “DONK,” featuring Nicki Minaj (which looks like is actually registered by Beyoncé with ASCAP) and “Cherry” featuring Rihanna.
She’s also got a cut on there with Justin Timberlake.

JLo, KimYe, Jamie Foxx & More Hit The LACMA Art And Film Gala [Photos]
Celebs don’t need much motivation to hit an event with a red carpet (or in this case, black carpet). That said, the LACMA Art And Film Gala featured a bevy of stars including Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Jamie Foxx and more.
Reports the Huff Post:
Simply beautiful.
The LACMA Art and Film Gala was a star-studded event which honored director Quentin Tarintino, but all eyes were on Jennifer Lopez as she graced the red carpet on Saturday. The 45-year-old opted for a glamorous sequined Gucci gown with a plunging neckline.
Check out pics of J.Lo and best dressed stars below and in the gallery.
