Las Vegas 40/40 Club Opening
2008-01-01 04:51:23
After it was reported that Jay-Z’s Sin City 40/40 club failed to pass inspections, the hot spot opened last night (Dec. 30).
The franchise, located inside the swanky Palazzo hotel on the Las Vegas strip, opened its doors to a crowded house, including such stars as Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and Ne-Yo, as well as such unlikely guests as Al Sharpton and Joe Jackson. Hova himself was also in the building.
Just a couple of days ago, the club’s slated New Year’s Eve bash was in serious jeopardy, needing certain licenses and certificates by Sunday (Dec. 30).
Jay-Z and his partners would have had to refund all opening night tickets, adding even further expense to a venture that had yet to see any profits.
Apparently, the upscale sports bar - which features 85 plasma TVs, five bars, five V.I.P. rooms and a dining area - made the deadline. Calls to 40/40’s PR rep weren’t returned at press time.
In related news, Hov performed Saturday (Dec. 29) for a sold out house at t ...

New Usher Cd In The Making
2007-12-29 04:56:20
R&B superstar Usher Raymond recently spoke up about his new role as a husband and father as well as his next album, which may feature a special guest appearance from the “King of Pop” himself, Michael Jackson.
In a recent interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Usher revealed his plans to release a new album by Spring of 2008.
“I’ve been diligently working on creating a masterpiece,” the singer said. “It’s going to be out first or maybe the second quarter. And there will be a video and single out at the top of the year.”
So far Usher is planning to drop “Love In The Club,” which was produced by Polow Da Don, as the album’s lead single. Fans may also be treated to a collaboration between Usher, Michael Jackson and T-Pain - however the details are still being worked out.
“It’s been created, but it’s not recorded,” Usher admitted. “As long as Michael is open to it, hey, anything go ...

Diddy Is And Has A Star
2007-12-28 11:08:05
Sean “Diddy” Combs, who got his first taste of the entertainment business nearly two decades ago while throwing parties at Howard University, will be honored next month with a star on the world famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.
SixShot.com reports that Diddy broke the news on Friday, Dec. 21 during a call in on Jamie Foxx’s Sirius radio show, The Foxxhole. According to the Bad Boy mogul, his ceremony will take place on Jan. 11th.
“I’m from Harlem New York, so to get a star in Hollywood is just mind-blowing,” Diddy said. “You can get a lot of things but when you see those stars on the ground…that’s something I can’t even say I dreamed of and to be getting recognized for it is definitely something I’m gonna have my whole family out there for,”
Diddy’s star dedication will precede his Feb. 25 debut as Walter Lee Younger in the ABC telefilm, “A Raisin in the Sun.” The artist previously played the ro ...

2007-12-28 11:01:30
This should be the cover for the controversial album dropping in February. I bet it’s a fake, it’s too soon for a cover but who knows.
Any thoughts?

Who Will Be The Next President Of Def Jam?
2007-12-27 15:25:20
We’ve known that Jay-Z will step down from the top spot at Def Jam since he made the announcement on Monday. The question now is, once President Carter bows out from rap’s Oval Office — effective Monday, for those keeping score at home — who will Island Def Jam Music Group Chairman L.A. Reid appoint to fill Hov’s shoes, if anyone?
The rumors that either Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond or Damon Dash will become the new CEO/president of Def Jam have been swirling around almost as long as the ones about Jay-Z leaving his post. But while the latter rumors have become a reality, the former ones haven’t come to fruition yet.
JD is already in the same building as Def Jam, serving as the president of Island Urban Music, which is under the Universal umbrella. In fact, when the Atlanta producer came onboard, before his position was identified, Jay suggested the two serve as co-presidents of Def Jam.
Rosemond’s name has been tossed in the e ...

Raz-B Says It Was Not True
2007-12-27 04:22:43
I just wrote about Omarion statement about the Chris Stokes accusation of molestation and now I come across this video of Raz-B, the accuser, that retracts and apologizes to Chris Stokes and the others and says the videos were made without his authority.
He cant even look in the camera. Where is the truth now? Was he pressured to make this video? We will never get the answers I guess.

Bow Wow And Omarion Hey Baby Video
2007-12-27 04:07:13
These two guys are appearing alot on this blog lately, of course not for the right things.
The first one was just owned by a magazine and the second one is in the middle of a child molestation scandal, not in first person tho (yet).
Anyway they just premiered the second video off their crappy collabo cd Face Off which sold, so far, like 110,000 units, that in my opinion are way too much.

Omarion Statement On Chris Stokes Molestation
2007-12-27 03:58:55
Omarion released a statement about the accusation of molestation made by former B2K member Raz-B and his brother Ricardo Thorton against Chris Stokes who denied them. It reads:
“I want to be on the record as saying that “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo
Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to
myself, and many others in the industry. He’s guided us, helped raised us
and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look
up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man
since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately.
He’s married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him
with no question whatsoever,” said Omarion.
“I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people
have damaged me, and my reputation and I won’t stand silent and will do all
within my means to speak the truth about this matter.”
