Beyoncé and Jay-Z Share Their Intimate Photos Of Baby Blue Ivy Carter!

Miss Info — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:39:38 +0000

WOW! Beyoncé and Jay-Z are sharing their world in a way we’ve never seen before. The happy parents debuted photos of their newborn daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, and don’t even front…the baby is adorable : )

I also think it’s a nice change that the Carters eschewed the whole tabloid bidding war tackiness, instead choosing to post the photos on the Blue Ivy’s own tumblr page, lol. (Do you think tumblr had to come up off something though?)

Check out more super cute photos of hip hop’s first family: Jay-Z holding his daughter, close-ups of Blue Ivy’s face and more…

Beyoncé’s Post-Baby Body Is Bananas…At Hubby Jay-Z’s After-Party

Miss Info — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:34:59 +0000

Beyonc é made her first public appearance since giving birth to Baby Blue Ivy Carter on Feb. 7, 2012! Beyoncé joined hubby Jay-Z at the after-party for his United Way Carnegie Hall charity concert. Are you even surprised that she looked completely flawless less than one month after having a baby? I’m not.

The lighting and the background, plus the fact that we know all the styling credits of her outfit, point to these photos being more planned than impromptu but no matter, fans have all been eager for a glimpse of Mrs. Carter. She’s curvier than her standard “promo-weight” and glows with that new-mom confidence : )
Beyoncé’s dress is by Temperly, jewelry by her pal Lorraine Schwartz, clutch by Alexander McQueen and embroidered shoes by Louboutin…

But Beyoncé had her baby on her mind tonight…
She paid tribute to her daughter with her manicure, of course!

Check out Beyonce’s amazing post-baby figure…

New ‘Hunger Games’ Movie Trailer: Hot Teenage Deathmatch!

Miss Info — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:38:08 +0000

(The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Lenny Kravitz looking like they got dressed in a goth sex shop.)

Huzzah! If you only care about the latest “Stay Scheming” freestyle, just keep scrolling to the next post…because this one is personal!
You already know I’m a huge nerdy retainer-wearing buffpuff-exfoliating comp-notebook-doodling security-blanket-carrying superfan of The Hunger Games book series. Basically, it’s about a future world where the country’s evil dictatorship forces kids from poor areas into a yearly deathmatch to earn food. If you ever saw the very twisted Japanese movie Battle Royale, it’s somewhat similar…but with more sci-fi and, aww, triangle teen romance!

I’ve been closely tracking the progress of the first movie in the trilogy for months. But with some skepticism. (Why is the “girl on fire” dress so lame? Why does those horrible fighting uniforms look like outlet UnderArmour? Why does the set look like a bad WB pilot? Why the hell is Lenny Kravitz in this? And most of all, for the love of Team Jacob, don’t you guys see how much money Twilight made? Put a little effort into this thing!)

But with the movie release on March 23rd, there’s a new trailer I can sink my teeth into! (and pick apart like a dingo on a rotting carcass)

Watch Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone), Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are Alright), Liam Hemsworth (um, Thor’s little brother and Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend)….

It’s Raining Diamond-Covered Hublots! Just Ask Rick Ross…and 50 Cent

Miss Info — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:19:30 +0000

After all the highs and one particular low in 2011, it’s only right that Rick Ross celebrate his birthday with lots of pomp and circumstance…and famous people…and sparklers! And white satin.
If you weren’t lucky enough to get into Miami’s Club Amnesia to party with Rawse, MMG’s DreFilms put together a slick 6-minute recap of Ross with Styles P, Jadakiss, Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose, French Montana, Diddy, Sway, my buddy Rahman, Cassie, DJ Khaled and more…
But the highlight was when Dr. Dre gave his new work-bestie a shockingly generous birthday gift: an iced-out Hublot watch!

Which reminded me of another recent token of bromance affection….
Didn’t Floyd Mayweather give 50 Cent that very same watch too?

TWINSIES!
After the jump…

Here’s the watch that Dr. Dre gave Rick Ross at the party….looks like a gorgeous Hublot Big Bang 44mm with a pave diamond face…

And….here’s the photo 50 Cent tweeted after his buddy Floyd Mayweather gave him a watch…just for being him, you know. Kind of looks like a Hublot Big Bang 44mm Gold Pave too, right?

Awkward.
(Is there a run on $50k watches in richguyland?! If so, please sir, may I have one of those sick Masterpiece Key of Time?
But…when are we gonna talk about how 50 feels as Ross and Dre get all buddy buddy? I remember that years ago when Fif first signed to Shady/Aftermath, Dre gave him a very expensive watch too. I think it was Vacheron Constantin? Dr. Dre’s like the Derek Jeter of rap friends.)

New ‘Eastbound & Down’ Trailer! Kenny Powers and Shane Dog (Jason Sudeikis) Bromance

Miss Info — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:35:44 +0000

“Your base tan’s lookin’ nice. I’m hoping to get there myself this season.”

I’ve been trying to escape something horrible awful hurl-inducing that infected my eyes the other day….but to no avail. I’m talking about those photos of Christina Aguilera singing at Etta James’ memorial service. It wasn’t her weird bank teller skirt suit, or her inappropriate Frederick’s of Hollywood bustier. Or her aggressive thighnees. And I fully admit that she rocked her rendition of Etta’s “At Last.” But as much as we all keep telling ourselves that Xtina had an unfortunate “spraytan” malfunction…my twisted brain just keeps poking holes in that explanation for what my eyes can’t un-see.

The only thing that has helped to distract me today….a new trailer for the upcoming season of HBO’s Eastbound & Down, which kicks off Feb 19. Kenny Powers is back from Mexico, he’s got a new baseball team, he’s back with his woman, his “manager” is still mentally challenged….but Kenny’s got a new bestie, Shane, played by Jason Sudeikis! This is a new macho side of simpy Jason that we rarely see on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. I bet Shane is the one who bagged Olivia Wilde.

But soon, my mind will drift back to the horror of Xtina’s inner-leg condensation. And Misery loves company….

Drake Tells Nahright: Common’s Beef Isn’t Hip Hop, It’s Publicity

Miss Info — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:09:12 +0000

(photoshop via EgoTrip’s video montage)

Let us quickly recap the season of Common vs. Drake Beef thus far:

Common dates Serena Williams. Drake dates Serena Williams. Common is down with Kanye. Drake is down with Young Money. Common spits subliminals at Drake on “Sweet.” Drake makes subliminal outburst onstage in Cali. Common admits to Drake subliminal disses on the song “Sweet”. Drake spits subliminal lyrics in “Stay Scheming.” Common disses Drake by name on “Stay Scheming” remake. Common tells interviewers the beef is just normal “hip hop competitiveness” and that he’s done….

But does Drake see this as just rap battling? Will there be a rebuttal? Nahright’s Nation (a liner-noted friend of Drake’s) got an exclusive comment from Drake on the set of “The Zone” video:

Nation: So people want to know: will you respond to Common?
Drake: No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.

Oh. Dang.

After the jump, Drake explains why he took a shot at Kobe’s wealthy ex-wife on “Stay Scheming”….

(never can get enough EgoTrip parody)

While everyone was analyzing Drake’s subliminals towards Common on Rick Ross’ song “Stay Schemin’”….the line that turned into a meme was about Kobe Bryant’s expensive split with his now ex-wife Vanessa.

Kobe ’bout to lose a hundred fifty M’s
Kobe, my n—a I hate it had to be him
Bitch, you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym
(Bitch, you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym)

Vanessa ended up with 75 M’s not 150, but she certainly earned more from her time as “good wife” than she ever would have….as a video extra which is what she was when she met Kobe. However…I’d say a more relevant rap line might be: “Bitch, I must have had a mild concussion when I refused legal counsel and the pleas from my family when I passed on a pre-nup….”
Nation asked Drake about the line, and he chalked it up to….sucks to be you, won’t be me.

Nation: There’s a line from your “Stay Schemin” verse about Kobe’s soon to be ex-wife Vanessa that has gotten some negative attention. Can you speak to what you were trying to express with that line?
Drake: That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else. That line had everything to do with me and what goes on in my head as a 25 year old man with this much income flowing in. Kobe is and always will be a friend and an icon to me.

M.I.A. Is Back With “Bad Girls”: But Are We Still Entertained?

Miss Info — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:32:07 +0000

By the end of this week, M.I.A. will have been on American Idol (premiering Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Lovin’” video with her and Nicki Minaj), and at the halftime show of the Superbowl. How in the world can you possibly even pretend to be some kind of edgy anti-establishment fight-the-power “bad girl” at this point? But M.I.A. is still hanging onto her hipster metrocard, despite her billion-dollar baby, and upcoming hank-williams-jr astroturf status.

And just in time to confuse the Middle Americans who will be tuning in to watch “Madonner” between bites of cheesy bread on Sunday…M.I.A. drops “Bad Girls,” (via Pitchfork) the lead single for her upcoming 4th album. The song is produced by Danja (Timbaland’s “co”-producer) and sounds pretty much like you’d expect. It’s not horrible. It’s just disappointing.

“Bad Girls” sounds like Gwen Stefani adopting another new ethnicity, or Eve giving it another go with whoever Dr. Dre has locked in his basement, or Kreyshawn doing an Old Navy ad. Zzzz. But with all of the new things that M.I.A. has seen/been bought/been fed in the last few years of her interesting journey…I’d think she’d be able to pull up some of that rich girl rage and act out. (Like with that nutty “Born Free” video) We’ll see what happens with Friday’s “Bad Girl” video debut, also by “Born Free” director Romain Gavras. Will there be black humor and apocalyptic violence? Or just multi-culti kitsch and bad Islamic calligraphy fonts. Oh, wait…that’s already on the single art.

Listen to M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls”….after the jump

New Music: M.I.A. “Bad Girls” (produced by Danja, off the upcoming Maya album)

PS: “Bad Girls” is a finished version of a song off M.I.A.’s most recent mixtape, Vicki Leekx. I guess even if the new album doesn’t deliver, a new promo run promises a new season of M.I.A. crazy talk. That’s one of my favorite things. Remember the backhanded Jay-Z comments and the Lady Gaga diss?

PPS: How hamtastic do you think this Superbowl show will be? Madonna is doing “Gimme All Your Luvvin,” “Ray of Light” and “Vogue.” All safe. Where’s her signature advertiser abuse going to come from?!

‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 2 Trailer: Someone Please Kill That Horrible Little Boy!

Miss Info — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:30:25 +0000

I’m determined to get into HBO’s new horseracing drama Luck if it’s the last thing my brain can hold….because with dual creators like Michael Mann (Heat) and David Milch (Deadwood), I know there must be jewels being dropped….but after the confusing pilot episode, all I really keep thinking is….when is Game of Thrones coming back?

April 1, 2012 actually. And having read George R.R. Martin’s Clash of Kings, the sequel to Game of Thrones which is what this upcoming season is based on…I already know this is going to get intense.

But regardless of what lies ahead…how much do you want that little s–t King Joffrey Lannister to die? Even this child actor should get a Golden Globe for most annoying face. It’s amazing how this kid encompasses all of the “craven” bitchassness of the book’s character.

Sorry for the visceral reaction. It’s Monday and I’m pre-coffee. But guys, there will be lots of offal-eating Queen Daenerys for you being a bad-ass. And for me….more sad snowy Wall watching.

The Real Reason Why French Montana Didn’t Sign With Kanye West #PhoneVsEmail

Miss Info — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:17:58 +0000

(French Montana backstage with Kanye West)

Back in Nov. of 2011, French Montana was being courted by Rick Ross, Def Jam, Diddy, and Kanye West….And at one point, French was confident enough that he would be the next member of GOOD Music, that he even hinted it to Angie Martinez. A a month later, French was up on 106 n Park with Diddy plotting the future of Bad Boy….so what happened? Like a line out of Cool Hand Luke…a failure to communicate, lol….
French explained the problem to Angie Martinez in this hilarious snippet:

Angie: “You and Kanye, I thought this was happening…”
French: “Yeah, we all big fans of Kanye, Jay-Z and everything. My thing was, I met up with him one time, and then I met up with him again. But it’s like…Kanye doesn’t have a phone. Let’s just put it out there like that. So, in order to get in contact with him, you have to email him. I mean you can’t tell me to do that. I don’t know how to use an email. So I guess me and him was never gonna talk? And I’m putting my career in your hands?…You know what I’m saying. But he’s definitely talented, I feel like if I had went there we would definitely have made history….”

Haha! One man refusing to be tethered to a phone. The other man refusing to adopt “email.” I actually think it would make for an amazing social experiment. If you think about it, being disconnected is the most extravagant luxury of all. (ps: I think French is exaggerating about his lack of email skills. I mean I hope. Let us pray ; )

Listen to the rest of French’s interview with Angie Martinez after the jump.
They talk about his new found celebrity, what he thinks about Drake vs. Common, and what it was like to meet Rihanna…..

LL Cool J Will Be The First Host of the Grammy Awards in 7 Years?!

Miss Info — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:53:55 +0000

It’s kind of a comeback….for the Grammy’s that is. After 7 years of rudderless, aimless, unmanned ceremony, the 2012 Grammy Awards will be hosted by LL Cool J. While most of us didn’t really notice, the awards have just used a stream of presenters and pre-presenters since 2005, when Queen Latifah was the last official host.
Does that mean that this year will be any less of a snore? Probably not. But LL is likeable, respected and mainstream enough to bridge all Grammy audiences.
Even though LL Cool J was part of the Grammy nomination show’s Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five tribute, his hosting gig probably has less to do with his status as a hip hop legend, and more to do with the fact that his TV show NCIS: Los Angeles helps to keep the old people network CBS on top of the ratings. The CBS is also the home of the Grammy telecast…which is also why the goth chick from NCIS always ends up awkwardly presenting an award.
But even if NARAS prefers Todd James, LL Cool J will always be hip hop, so it’s a win.

LL Cool J’s statement…and more Grammy details…
After the jump

LL Cool J (via People):

“I’m thrilled to be part of Music’s Biggest Night. I will always have fond memories of my first Grammy Awards and to now be hosting the Grammy show, in the company of so many other incredible artists, is a dream come true.“

The 54th Grammy Awards airs on Feb. 12 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT
Nicki Minaj will be performing, along with Bruno “Everybody Nose” Mars, Taylor Swift, and a woman who sings way better than Taylor a/k/a Kelly Clarkson.
As for the awards themselves (which seem to be 3rd most important, behind red carpet and performances): Adele and Kanye West are heavily nominated…
