I love this! Chained Heat x Grease! x Kill Bill : )

Update….duh, I wrote “Videophone” at first. I need dinner. Also….this video is starring Tyrese and Gaga’s hairmonster.

Mikey: Chris Brown just ain’t feelin’ the love like he used to and felt the need to send this message to his fans… (props NecoleBitchie)

“I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans….”

My Hot97 big brothers DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo and DJ Cipha Sounds have their web series The Wizards, which is not only on Hot97.com but also airing on MTV2. (Congrats, guys!)

And in this Episode 3….Camilo gets ready for a show with his artist Jugganot, Ciph gets his hair cut, but the headcrack is during DJ Enuff’s segment, when he sits down with Swizz Beats and they get personal, talking about their respective divorces. Swizz tells E that the ongoing split was the toughest thing he’s ever dealt with. Swizz also says that, contrary to tabloid reports, it was not his new relationship with Alicia Keys that caused his divorce…he feels that he was pressured to choose between his relationship with his eldest son and his marriage. There is also footage of the Roc Raida tribute show at BB Kings.

UPDATE: The footage of Enuff and Swizz is from a few months ago. According to one of my legal eagles, Swizz’ divorce has since been finalized. Hopefully this means everyone came to the table and found that middle ground.

Watch the video after the jump….(because the Hot97 player autoplays their videos which is totally unacceptable. I don’t want to do that to you…but trust me, its a really interesting clip, and its worth watching The Wizards)

Lenny, Keith, Ben, Ted, Tony, and even you Matt….thank you for this awesome skit. So friggin’ awesome. Look what awesome things are possible during Oscar week when everyone is in town and has a little free time between gifting suites.

“Big Daddy Handsome”

(not to be nitpicky….but where was Sam Worthington?)

The funniest Saturday Night Live opening monologue I think I’ve ever seen…at least from the past decade.

Zach Galifianakis, from “The Hangover” and more, talks about living in hipster Brooklyn (I’m assuming he lives in Williamsburg), and many many insanely awesome random thoughts.

“Here comes the Choo Choo!”

*still crying at the thought*

(a photo of D’Angelo from a recent court appearance)

Not sure what to say here….the Post reports:

Grammy Award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo was arrested early yesterday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone through the West Village — with $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

D’Angelo, 36, whose real name is Michael Archer, was in his top-of-the-line Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m. when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute, sources said.

He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, the sources said. His manager declined to comment.

But I think the upside here is….D’Angelo was able to actually find a female in the West Village who was open to solicitation. Because as soon as I saw the neighborhood, I braced myself for a different kind of revelation.

UPDATE: D’Angelo’s spokesperson has released a statement regarding his arrest….read after the jump…

(cheesin’ like a teenager…pathetic)

Damn….this is like hosting a dinner party, and then some younger, hotter, model-chick comes in uninvited wearing the same dress as you. Ouch.

Trey Songz murderizes the Polow da Don beat of Usher’s new single, and even tips his hat at Nicki Minaj’s verse. (Thanks to my hunny Bibi for this)

Statik Selektah is a no-nonsense guy. And so is this short clip with SoulCulture/UK.

Previously: Update on Guru: signs of a dischord between Guru’s family and his current partner Solar, and Moment of Truth Pt 1

ok, now I’m speechless.

Guru’s nephew, Justin Nicholas-Elam Ruff, makes an impassioned statement on behalf of his family. He claims that Guru’s producer/partner Solar has gained power of attorney for his uncle and is denying his family any access to him. He says that Guru actually fell ill in early February, and since then they have been shut out by Solar.

“..Solar has totally cut us off….the doctors and the staff at the hospital will not discuss any information with Guru’s family….in order for the family to change the situation, we have to hire a lawyer…unfortunately we don’t have a couple of weeks, my uncle Guru is in a serious….I know that Solar has been his right hand man, day in and day out, for the last 6 years, but does that not give him the right to make decidsion whether of not his own family gets to see Guru or learn about his status. The fact that he’s acting like this lets me know he does not have Guru’s best interest in mind. It is a control thing with Solar.

On Tues, I send Solar a text message [checking to see if I could get an update on Guru's status]. Solar sent me a response that said: “Trish [Guru's sister, ] started this!!! And guru would never have told her he was in the hospital, this is horrible what she did!! Now I need to care for Guru. Peace….”

This comes just hours after Team Solar released an odd statement on behalf of Guru: I’ll post the full statement ater the jump, but drives home the point that Solar is the only source for Guru information…read that full statement after the jump.

Congratulations go out to singer Keyshia Cole and her fiance Daniel “Boobie” Gibson! Insiders tell me that just after 1am this morning (March 3rd), Keyshia gave birth to a healthy baby boy, the couple’s first. Gibson, a basketball player with the Cleveland Cavs, was by Keyshia’s side for the birth, which took place in Cleveland, OH.

And folks in Hollywood were telling me that my old friend Manny Hailey (Keyshia’s longtime manager) was out at PhilippeChow-LA when he got the good news. It was shots for everyone in the house courtesy of Uncle Manny ; )

UPDATE: yes, the baby is a junior, Daniel Gibson Jr.

Related: earlier today, Monica tweeted that Keyshia was in labor.
