IS 50 TRYING TO GET RICHER OR DIE TRYING TO PLAY A CANCER PATIENT IN A FOCKN MOVIE?

Damn, what is this? What the hell is this? 50pounds lost by 50 Cent and only 50% of his flesh remains. I hear he gained it back and this is not how he currently looks. I will never lose no damn weight for a movie except of course if I am trying to get rich but why die trying?

YAWN: ALICIA KEYS PREGGO WITH SWIZZY'S BABY!


Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
Alicia Keys has 12 Grammys under her belt and now she has something else under there, too.

The 29-year-old R&B singer is pregnant with her first child, her representatives confirmed.

They would not say when the child is due.

Weeks of photos have shown Keys noticeably fuller in the mid-section and sporting a collection of loose-fitting black tops.

The father is Keys' fiance, producer/DJ/rapper Swizz Beatz.

The couple is engaged to be married in a private ceremony later this year.

Swizz Beatz, 31, -- whose real name is Kasseem Dean -- has one son from his marriage to Mashonda Tifrere. He also has a second son from a previous relationship.

Didn't HH tell you when Swizzy was cooking her breakfast in the nude?

NICK CANNON'S PUPPY IS PREGNANT AND HER NAME IS NOT MIMI!

When Mariah Carey pulled out of Tyler Perry's latest film, it only increased speculation that the pop diva is pregnant. But her husband, America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon, dropped by E! studios Thursday night to clear the air.

"I do want to make a big announcement right here on Daily 10," he told a reporter. "My Jack Russell terrier puppy Cha Cha is pregnant again!"

Though it remains to be seen whether or not the couple's dog is really expecting, Carey dropped by Barbara Walters's SIRIUS XM Radio talk show last year and said she hoped to become a mom – to some four-legged furballs. "I want [my dogs] to have puppies," she said of Cha Cha and her other pup, JJ. "They're going to be very cute!"

Eminem is probably hatin now asking which bytch is pregnant?

L'IL KIM TO PERFORM AT A HIP-ROCK FEST! YES!!! HIP-HOP AND ROCK.

Lil’ Kim is coming to central Illinois. The platinum-selling rapper is to perform at 7 p.m. June 12 at the Canopy Club in Urbana.

Kim, 34, first hit it big with the group Junior M.A.F.I.A. in the mid-1990s. Her solo albums include “Hard Core” (1996), “The Notorious K.I.M.” (2000) and “La Bella Mafia” (2003).

She’s said to be at work on another album to be released this year.

How many times have we told you that music crosses all boundaries?

HOLY SHYT: NOW SLASH SAYS ROCK IS DEAD AND POP IS IN! TEAMS WITH FERGIE ON NEW ALBUM.

http://www.israelity.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/slash.jpg
Slash discusses the state of rock, and why he teamed up with Fergie on his new album. I hate talking about the state of rock music, because there’s nothing positive to say about it. The whole vibe of new, exciting hard rock bands seems non-existent right now. I always say that the heavy metal spirit is alive and well and holding its own, but that broader rock’n’roll thing of bands like AC/DC or Guns N’Roses seems pretty slim. The rock’n’roll spirit is extremely diminished. Read the rest and hear that Fergie collab below.....

TIP EXPLAINS WHY ALFAMEGA WAS DROPPED! (NO SNITCHING VIDEO)

JANET JACKSON ON AMERICAN IDOL FINALE LAST NITE.

L'IL MAMA ACCUSED OF STEALING WARDROBE OFF VIDEO SHOOT!!

From L'il Kim to Da Brat to Foxy Brown and Remy Ma, our female rappers are not setting good examples anymore if the stuff below is in fact true. The “Lipgloss” singer-turned-America’s Best Dance Crew judge is facing a lawsuit after she and a posse of backup dancers stormed a music video set trashing and jacking thousands of dollars worth of designer threads!

Although the MTV personality denies it, the producers of the music video are convinced she took a lot of the borrowed wardrobe and they want it back — or the star will face legal action, a snitch spilled to RadarOnline.com this week.

SIMON'S LAST DAY ON AMERICAN IDOL AND WHAT HE TOLD RYAN.



Simon Cowell joined Ryan’s radio show earlier yesterday to share his thoughts on his final night of judging on "American Idol."

The always brutally frank Cowell shared that the aspect he won’t miss about “American Idol” is the fact that he “won’t have to do the auditions again." He admitted, "the live shows are fun, it’s the traveling [and] doing auditions [that are] torture.” This, and a short story he recalled about being on a long flight with Ryan who was singing “Party in the U.S.A.,” are part of the reason he’s leaving, he joked.

Cowell revealed that he will miss “the fun” of being part of “American Idol.” He said, “What people don’t know about the show is that there’s absolutely no preparation, and the fact that we’ve gotten away with what we’ve gotten away with, and we can make it up and no one shouts at us.” In true Simon Cowell fashion, he shared that his favorite part was “the fact that [he] got away with [all the craziness].”

Along with pulling fast ones, Cowell said, “the performance I like best is when Fantasia [Barrino] sang ‘Summertime,’ that was my favorite, followed by my worst which was Clay Aiken murdering ‘Grease’ in the red jacket.”

Part of the success of “American Idol” Cowell said he attributes to the fact that “we allowed these shows to be non-politically correct and I think that was the difference, and actually I have to credit Fox with that I don’t think any other network would have allowed what we did on their network.”
When asked about fellow judge Randy Jackson, Cowell said he will always remember “the fact that I’ve never ever understood a single thing [Randy] has said in nine years…I’m not being rude, I don’t know whether he’s complimenting someone or not. I mean all those, ‘Yo dawg, whatever, whatever, whatever,’ I haven’t got a clue.”

Despite Cowell’s departure from “American Idol,” he won’t be taking a break anytime soon. “I don’t have a break, I go straight back to another show [in the U.K.],” he shared. Don’t be too overwhelmed with grief, however, because Cowell will be back to work in the U.S. again in September.

Cowell, as always, left us with a joke. When asked if he’ll ever work with Ryan again he said with a devilish smile, “Never, but I thought about it.”

FORBES RATES THE TOP EARNING AMERICAN IDOLS.

What does this week's American Idol winner have to look forward to? Far less than in the past. The pop music market, now saturated with close to 100 of the show's alums, is showing signs of Idol fatigue. Earnings for some of Idol's top vocalists have nosedived over the past year. The show that reshaped television and the music business just isn't minting cash for its stars like it once did.

Kris Allen, the 2009 Idol winner, has sold just 300,000 albums, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In the past year his music and touring sales have delivered an estimated $748,000--nothing much to sing about. He places 10th on their annual list of the top-earning stars launched by American Idol.

Jennifer Hudson's light touring schedule and the end of her lucrative role as Avon spokeswoman hit the Oscar winner in the pocketbook, too. Forbes estimates that she earned $3.5 million in the year from June 1, 2009, to the end of this month, compared with $5 million the previous year. That dropped her to sixth place from second on last year's list. Carrie Underwood, No. 1 on our list, earned an estimated $13 million over the past year--$1 million less than the year before. One Idol star, Taylor Hicks, didn't earn enough to remain on their list.

Then you have Reuben Studdard who stole our hearts so much and after he won, nothing else was heard of after the first album. I was sure disappointed.

LADY GAGA HAS LUPUS AND TELLS FANS NOT TO WORRY!

Lady Gaga had fans gasping after she collapsed on stage in March in New Zealand during her "The Fame Monster" tour, but the singer - who reveled she was recently tested for lupus - wants her devoted little monsters not to worry about her health. "I have heart palpitations and... things," Gaga recently told The Times of London. "But, it's OK. It's just from fatigue and other things."

The eccentric singer told the paper that her family has a history with lupus - a disease which causes the immune system to attack the body.

"I'm very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus. It's a very personal thing. I don't want my fans to be worried about me," she explained, saying that she had been tested for the disease that can be genetic. "But I don't want anyone to be worried."

The singer also told the paper that she experienced a slight health scare recently while in Tokyo.

"I was having trouble breathing," she said. "I had a little oxygen, then I went on stage. I was OK. But like I say, I don't want anyone to worry."

ELLEN DEGENERES STARTS RECORD LABEL AND SIGNS THAT LADY GAGA PIANO KID.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Ellen DeGeneres added ''American Idol' ...

After a season judging singers on "American Idol," Ellen DeGeneres is delving deeper into the music business with her own label.

The talk show host was announcing on her show Wednesday that she is starting a label called eleveneleven. Her first act will be 12-year-old Greyson Chance, who recently became a sensation on YouTube with his piano version of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi."

There's no word on when the label will start. It was formed with Telepictures Productions.

Besides DeGeneres, Greyson has some other strong people behind him: Madonna's manager and Lady Gaga's manager

SFTC: HAPPY VICTORIA DAY FROM CANADA.

Victoria Day celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24th). Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, of which the Queen is head. Victoria Day is always on a Monday, and thus the holiday is part of a long weekend, which is commonly referred to as the Victoria Day Weekend, the May Long Weekend, the May Long, or the May Two-Four (a case of beer there is called a "two-four" and many of these are consumed over the holiday). The weekend is also called the May 24th weekend, although it does not necessarily fall on May 24th.

The Victoria Day Weekend always falls on the weekend before Memorial Day in the U.S.

The Victoria Day Weekend is the first popular weekend for spring / summer travel. Lots of people open up their cottages, plant gardens, or just get away. Expect crowds at resorts and hotels and busy highways. Fireworks displays are common, especially on Monday night.

Banks, schools, many stores and restaurants are closed on the Monday. Call ahead to find out about other attractions and tourist spots. Public transportation will run on a holiday schedule. Have a safe one!!

CONGRATS! BRETT MICHAELS WINS THE APPRENTICE!


It just goes to show you that someone who was almost dead two weeks ago could come back to life and win BIG! All I have to say to the lead singer of Poison is Congrats Brett from KJ and I at HIPHOSSIP. I will be looking to do a phoner with Brett soon.

SFTC: TORONTO POLICE ENLISTS LOCAL RAPPERS TO RECORD AN ANTI-VIOLENCE POLICE OFFICER PROGRAM PSA.


Photos courtesy of Toronto Police service

http://kiwicommons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Toronto_Police_Service_logo2.png
The Toronto Sun's Crime Reporter Chris Doucette spotlights a story unheard of. Rappers teaming up with local police to foster a better community. The Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy is a Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provincially funded initiative, dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods. TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.

The key message for this TAVIS PSA is that TAVIS officers are there to help the community, not harass them. TAVIS officers listen and talk with community members and the goal is to work together and basically the two parts to TAVIS is community building and enforcement.

One by one, Gilly Gadan, Linkx, NES, Berg Beauge, Jay Stackz, David a.k.a. D, and Kadar Star busted rhymes for TAVIS, urging people to “trust” and “help” police.“I couldn’t believe the things they were saying,” Mills said excitedly. “I was just blown away!”He believes the messages were more powerful than any ad police could have produced on their own. The rappers’ contributions will be woven together and cut down to two 30-second spots, slated to air May 31 on Z103.5 and FLOW 93.5.But Mills was so impressed, he plans to post them in their entirety on youtube.com/torontopolice. While getting the rappers to say “all the right things” was easy, Mills said convincing them to work with cops may have been impossible if not for the help of crime victim advocate Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo.

She put the call out for rappers on her highly popular music blog, Hip-Hossip, and had 700 responses. But that number dwindled to just a handful when she explained cops were involved.“I screened them to be sure they were sincere,” she said. “I didn’t want anyone who was only doing it just to boost their career.” However, as a Canadian correspondent on a new hip-hop show called The Deal on BET, she plans to reward the volunteers by giving them some exposure.Omololu-Olunloyo said the young men who participated have had trouble with the law to varying degrees, but she believes that gives them more credibility with the youth.

“These are all positive guys who have turned their lives around,” Omololu-Olunloyo said.She actually helped mentor one of the rappers, Gilly Gaden, after meeting him “on the block” near Jane St. and Wilson Ave.“I was living the fast life, selling drugs and pimpin’,” he explained. “But music changed my life.”

You must read the whole story here and watch the video

It is always a pleasure helping the Toronto Police find positive role models out there.

SFTC ROLE MODEL: TORONTO RAPPER BERG BAUGE APPEARS TONITE ON CP24 CABLE CHANNEL ON HIS NEW MISSION.


Photos courtesy of Berg Bauge

Earlier this week, when I made a casting call for Toronto Rappers to stand up for the local police and make a difference for the kids, it was like a joke to some MC's out there? What? "Toronto Police needing us to record their Public service announcements?" That's what I heard. One rapper moved me out of the 6 that volunteered their time. Below is his e-mail....

"Hey Kemi, I have noticed the initiative you have taken with the Tavis program. I would also like to give back to the community. A year ago I was released from the penetentiary after 25 months of incarceration. During my time there I completed my high school and worked on a Business Diploma through correspondence at Northern College. When I was released I was placed in a shelter at Queen and Sherbourne even though I was convicted of drug trafficking. I never let that bother me. I searched for jobs relentlessly and found one at a call center. I worked there until last week. I was just hired for a tech support position for $35,500 a year plus benefits. I guess I'm saying anything is possible. My music is my life and now I can invest in myself. More importantly I will be having my son live with me. I feel that if I can change so can others who really want to change.
Thank you for your time Kemi."
Regards
Berg

AWESOME SFTC: HIPHOSSIP IN THE COMMUNITY: WE TEAMED LOCAL TORONTO RAPPERS WHO HAVE TURNED THEIR LIVES AROUND WITH TORONTO POLICE TO RECORD A PSA.





CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE KEMI OMOLOLU-OLUNLOYO AND EDITOR OF HIPHOSSIP MUSIC BLOG TEAM UP TORONTO RAPPERS TO RECORD PSA'S FOR TORONTO POLICE'S TAVIS SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Crime victim advocate, Publicist and Music Journalist Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo has paired up local rappers with the Toronto police to record public service announcements for the ongoing TAVIS initiative. She has been hosting free press conferences for families of crime victims to make appeals to the public for tips on their homicide cases and has always been a strong supporter of Toronto Crime Stoppers and "Prevention" of crime in youth.

The Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy is a Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provincially funded initiative, dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods. TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.

The key message for this TAVIS PSA is that TAVIS officers are there to help the community, not harass them. TAVIS officers listen and talk with community members and the goal is to work together and basically the two parts to TAVIS is community building and enforcement.

Kemi whose music and PR blog HipHossip.com and Fanada.ca features You Tube videos of appeals from crime victims teamed up five local Toronto rappers from all corners of the city, ethnic groups and nationalities for this project. The Rappers Nes (Noel Esso), Berg Bauge (Tony Rosier), Gilly Gadan (Gilliano Joseph), Kadar Star (Kadar Hall) and Jay Stacks.

Any media wishing to interview this team of talented musicians on why they chose to be part of this initiative, talk about their own past run-ins with the law and how they are planning to change other lives and motivate youth in the community and getting the public to support TAVIS should contact me on an interview location.

HipHossip has just teamed up in a brand partnership with US network Black Entertainment television (BET)
on a new hip-hop show "The Deal." As a Canadian partner and Correspondent, we hope to expose the world to our breed of positive rappers in the community.

SFTC: BEIBERBOY NABS BEST NEW ARTIST NOMINATION ON THE BET AWARDS!!

Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber is being honored among some of music’s most prominent Black performers. On Tuesday, the baby-faced teen idol nabbed a Best New Artist nomination for next month’s BET Awards in Los Angeles, where he’ll compete against fellow Canadian Melanie Fiona and the Drake-assisted hip-hop syndicate Young Money.

The annual awards show, sponsored by Black Entertainment Television, typically honors the accomplishments of entertainers of color, but officials describe Bieber — a former YouTube sensation discovered by “Confessions” star Usher — as a crossover artist with talent that transcends color lines. His latest album, My World 2.0, debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts in March.

“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,” says Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. “He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.”

The 2010 BET Awards, hosted by Queen Latifah, airs live from The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on June 27.
