This isn’t exactly the tour news we were waiting for from Hova and JT, but it’s a start. The annual Wireless Festival in London has announced that the fellas will be headlining this year’s weekend concerts (on separate nights). On Friday, July 12th, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, John Legend, Miguel, Snoop Dogg, and Trey Songz are set to hit the stage. On the following Saturday, Jay-Z, Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Fresh, Emeli Sande, Miguel, and Rita Ora will close it out. Last year, Drake killed it with special guest Nicki Minaj and The Weeknd. This year, the shows will take place at Olympic Park in East London.

After Ne-Yo and John Legend opened the night’s festivities, Alicia Keys had the honor of rocking the 2013 NBA All-Star Game halftime show. Appearing in all-black, the Grammy Award-winning songstress shows off her various skills beginning at the piano with “Empire State of Mind.” Keys turned the energy up with a reggae-influenced version of her smash-hit “Girl on Fire,” before going back into the classic “No One.” Her 10-minute mini concert ended as she showed off her dance moves to “New Day.”

Moments after Ne-Yo rocked the stage at Houston’s Toyota Center, all eyes moved to center court. With his soulful voice, John Legend showed his patriotism as he performed “The Star Spangled Banner” earlier tonight right before tip-off. Leaving the piano behind, the Grammy Award-winning singer delivered a beautiful rendition.

All eyes are on Houston, Texas tonight as some of the NBA’s best come together for the 2013 All-Star Game. Right before tipoff at Houston’s Toyota Center, Ne-Yo kicked off the evening by performing a medley of “Lets Go,” “Let Me Love You,”and  “Forever Now” during the player introductions. Dealing with sound issues, the R&B star took to Twitter and reacted to viewers who felt his performance was underwhelming.

Shout out to those showing love. Everybody has an off day….all good. Fuck any and all haters. Talk it while I live it bitches!!!

Before the 2013 Slam Dunk Contest kicked off on NBA All-Star Saturday Night, Fall Out Boy reunited for their first television performance in over three years. Lead by member Pete Wentz, the pop-rock band performed their new single “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)” at Houston’s Toyota Center on Saturday night. The surprise during their set came from 2 Chainz, who debuted a new verse on the song. The ATLien plays a lead role in the song’s video that released earlier this month.

“Girl on Fire” is the Alicia Keys song that you either love or hate. Remember, she even remixed the song for Obama during his Inauguration Ball. And, it’s not going away anytime soon. After rocking with Maroon 5 at the Grammys, A. Keys hit Ellen this afternoon to perform the song along with “Brand New Me.” Also, it appears that Alicia Keys’s twitter was hacked yesterday. Mashable posted a recap about what happened.

Not only were restaurants booked up in V-Day spirit last night, venues were packed, too, as some of our favorite rappers put on shows for their fans — loved up or not. Ryan Leslie threw a special Valentine’s gig at NYC’s Irving Plaza, where he brought out Fabolous to perform “You Be Killin’ ‘Em” and “Addiction” (sans Cassie), before diving into “Carnival of Venice” solo. Props to Nigel D. for the footage.

Meanwhile, hometown heros Bun B and Kirko Bangz entertained Houston’s Bambou as the city warms up for NBA All-Star Weekend, and T.I. invited Pharrell, Stacy Barthe, Nelly and B.o.B. on stage with him at Power 106′s Valentine’s Crush Concert.

After founding band member Oliver Sim joined Solange in London last month for a cover of Nicole Wray’s “Make It Hot,” British Indie Pop outfit The xx returned the favor to the Knowles clan by performing their own rendition of Beyoncé’s 4 album cut, “I Miss You” (which was co-written by none other than Frank Ocean), in Austin earlier this week. Of course, they applied their distinctively dreamy aura to the record and slowed down the tempo superbly. Warning: this may jerk a tear or two.

Trinidad James made his late-night television debut on Late Night wih Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night. Backed by The Roots, the stylish ATLien appeared on stage wearing Supreme’s upcoming S/S ’13 camo jacket to perform his popular single “All Gold Everything.” James’ Don’t Be S.A.F.E. mixtape is out now on iTunes with physical copies available on February 19.

Probably the only thing more beautiful than Jessie Ware is her voice. The always graceful British songstress delivered a gentle yet gorgeous rendition of Rihanna’s Unapologetic hit, “Diamonds,” for BBC Radio 1‘s Live Lounge recently. Backed by an acoustic guitar and subtle bass kicks, Ms. Ware’s version elegantly flips RiRi’s stadium-status smash into a pensive song suited for more private enjoyment. Her hugely acclaimed debut album, Devotion, is out now.
