Chris Brown Heating Things Up For Valentine's Day

Chris Brown will not allow Willie (Day26) or Que (formerly of Day26) to out do him when it comes to sexing things up for Valentine's Day-Breezy will drop his own mixtape as well.

Titled, In My Zone, which is hitting the web on February 14, Chris announced his mixtape in a voice message posted to his official fansite.

“I’ll be doing all the remixes to everybody’s records,” he said in the message. “From Trey Songz, to Yo Gotti, but even the pop songs.”

The 32 song mixtape will include original material written specifically for the mixtape and some “stuff for the ladies.”

On Wednesday, Brown streamed live on Ustream to let fans in on his recording session for his remix to Trey Songz’s “Invented Sex,” aptly titled “Invented Head.”

LGBT Community To Beyonce"Don't Use Us And Then Insult Us"

Reportedly Beyonce Knowles is against being gay or having any gay/lesbian tendencies because it’s ‘against her religion.’

According to LGBT site Lez-BeHonest, it was discovered that the singer may have allegedly stated in the past that it is against her religion to ‘kiss girls.’ The story goes on to say that after doing some research it was reported that she stated ‘God’ gave her the permission to wear sexy clothes and to strip on stage, but not to have some lip-locking or ‘girl-on-girl’ action.

The site suggest that this is a slap in the face for the LGBT community because they support her so much and then she comes and says it’s “against her religion.”

Further on, it states that although everyone is not going to agree with being lesbian or gay, the singer should have kept her comments to herself, especially since the gay boys are the ones who taught Beyonce how to dance and step her fab up. The ending message they want to share with Beyonce, “so don’t use us and then insult us.” (HipHopRx)

B might have to speak on this one!

In other Beyonce news, go behind the scenes of her Superbowl commercial.

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Engaged Or Not???

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz has been vacationing in Hawaii and celebrating Keys 29th birthday! Sources are saying that Keys and Swizzy are already engaged.

I sure hope that isn't the ring...imjussayin'!

The next day, Keys was spotted rolling solo on the beaches of Hawaii. Could this just be a little "damage control"?!?! Whatever it is, she still rocking that ring! I pray that's not the engagement ring.

I'm about to remix Jadakiss & Swizz song, 'Who's Real', and change it to 'Who's Engaged'

Last night, Tyrese announced on Twitter that

"BEYONCE' & LADY GAGA asked me to be the LEADING man in their NEW VIDEO.. Were shooting TOMORROW!! PoW!!

Queen Latifah and Sean “Diddy” Combs will co-host “S.O.S. Saving OurSelves: Help for Haiti,” a three-hour televised concert from the American Airlines Arena in Miami on February 5. The fundraising event will include appearances and performances by Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Robin Thicke, and many more.

“The devastation that has occurred in Haiti has broken my heart. My hope is that we can raise enough money to sustain a few of the relief organizations for quite some time as there is a lot of work to be done over there,” stated Pharrell in a press release. “The goal is not only to bring immediate relief to Haiti but to also rebuild the country and help the country move forward.”

The program will air on BET and Centric, as well as MTV and VH1, on Friday, February 5, at 8 p.m. ET. The proceeds will benefit Haiti relief organizations including Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti, CARE, and Project Medishare.

Soulja Boy To Release His Own Book

It is definitely a good look for the boy to be 19, and releasing his own book! But really...it is nothing I could or would want to learn from Deandre! Honestly, I thought it was going to be a coloring book!

Soulja Boy says the finished product will hit stores this summer, specifically on June 28,2010. No word on whether the book will be an autobiography or not, but it will be called “Teenage Millionaire” by Deandre Way.

I wonder if Oprah will have him on for her Book Club or if it will make the 'Best Seller's' list???

Master P Allegedly Son's Lil Wayne Over Lack of Saint's Support!

Master P is NOT feeling Lil Wayne these days...especially after Weezy lack of support for the N.O. Saints. Recently, Wayne expressed his opinion that he thought his home town New Orleans Saints would lose to Brent Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.

Well P has allegedly written a blog expressing his thoughts and his disappointment in Wayne's choice. Read Percy Miller's disappointment below:

“As a young child growing up in New Orleans, I always wanted to see the Saints go to the Super Bowl,” said P. “I've always worn black and gold colors as No Limit Jerseys and always represented for the New Orleans Saints by wearing their caps and jerseys. The comment Lil Wayne made about New Orleans Saints losing to the Minnesota Vikings, made no sense to me as a New Orleans native. This is our hope as a city after surviving Hurricane Katrina. This team should bring us together as people. I understand that he has the right to have his own opinion and comment or even root for another team if he wants to.

It's just disappointing to hear this coming from a brother who was born and raised in New Orleans, made money off his music representing the city of New Orleans, talking about it in his lyrics. I'm from Uptown New Orleans and I don't care who the Saints play against, how good the opposing team is, nor what the odds are against them. I would never go against my team, the New Orleans Saints, or root for an opposing team playing against them. We've been waiting to get to the Super Bowl for 40 years and if we do, we will celebrate in Second Line.

I guess we won't be hearing any Superbowl songs from Lil Wayne unless the Vikings win. This is sad for the fans in the city of New Orleans because they really thought Lil Wayne was down. Most entertainers and athletes don't realize that once you're in the spotlight, you need to think about some of the things that you say because it will follow you throughout your career, good or bad.”(Hip Hop Wired)

Master P...really? Is it that serious???

Pink Dissin' Beyonce????

When I first spotted this video on Bossip, I just thought it was them blowing it out of proportion. After watching it, that is so NOT the case...

Do you think Pink is dissin' Beyonce in her performance of 'Stupid Girls'?


...and for those who don't know, 'Stupid Girls' is where Pink makes fun of all the ladies in the industry for selling out to sell albums.

Spotted: Beyonce & Jay Z Leaving France

The Power Couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z, were spotted at the airport leaving France.


Just when I thought we had actually seen the two showing some type off affection, I was wrong again. I thought they were holding hands, but then...I saw the orange. What type of freaky ish are they into?

I'm sooooo lost on the whole orange thing. Maybe the paparazzi will get more money if they spot stars holding hands, so B and J decided to play them and have an orange to seperate their hands...things that make you go hmmm.

Drake Covers Complex Magazine

Drizzy Drake is on the cover of the February edition of Complex magazine. In this issue he talks about life after 'Degrassi', the negative feedback he got from his 'Best I Ever Had' video, his loyalty to Young Money, his injury, and more.


Check out a couple of excerpts from the interview:

Complex: Drake on His Loyalty To Young Money

"Everyone seems to have a comment for me about Young Money, “f*ck Young Money” or “Why are you with them?” But what people have to understand is maybe there was a way for me to be successful without Young Money. But we’ll never know. My loyalty is to Wayne, and that goes for anybody who genuinely believes in me. We don’t have the most personal relationship where we hang out every day or we talk that much, but Wayne’s admiration and respect goes without being verbally said. He put his neck out there for me at a very early stage, and those actions tell me everything I need to know about how he feels about me as an artist."

Complex: There was also a rumor going around that you ghost write for Wayne.

[Laughs]" You know, we're all great artists, great minds, and we all just contribute to each other, there's been times when Wayne has helped me out, and I'm sure, I hope, I've influenced him to do or say things on tracks. We help each other out, that's part of being two artists who respect each others creativity."

Complex: How's the atmosphere at Young Money now that Wayne is about to go to jail?

"We don't really talk about it. It's surreal to me still. I guess on the day that it really happens, I'll start thinking about what I gotta do. I wanna have a talk with Wayne and ask him what he needs from me."

Complex: Take me through your songwriting process.

"With R&B, I know my sound. I know I make records to fuck to. [Laughs.] The way Jay and Wayne write rap, I write R&B. I don't write lyrics down on paper. The other day, I was in the studio with Alicia Keys, and I wrote two songs just speaking to her. I wish I could write that way for rap. With my rap songs, there's so much of me I have to give that I don't know if I could ever just flow. The thing is, I'm a great rapper. There's two elements to rap: having the thoughts, and then being a great rapper. I can really rap the shit that I write. My tone, my inflection. When I listen to myself on records, I don't feel like I don't belong there. When I listen to "Forever," with three of my heroes, I fit right in.

Trina To Be A Mom....Plans To Adopt A Child From Haiti

It seems that the 'Baddest B*tch' isn't so bad after all...she does have a heart!

With all of the crisis going on over in Haiti, Trina has announced that she will adopt a child!

“With the current state that Haiti is in right now; I personally feel like donating monetary and physical possessions is a enormous and vast donation….

However I would like to contribute on a higher level for more personal reasons in addition to being ready to raise/nurture a child; by being involved on a day to day basis…..

I am in the financial position to adopt; therefore I am taking it into deep consideration at this time, I have always admired other individuals for adopting children not so much for their celebrity status but more so because of the “nurturing and invaluable change and joy it will bring to a child's life.”

Trina also added that she has members of Haitian descent and looks forward to adding a child to her “immediate family circle.”

Trina would definitely be a MILF....Woop, Woop!

Mo'Nique Is On The Road To The Oscars

Mo’nique has done it again. The full figured diva, (who actually isn’t so full anymore) who was once known strictly as a comedienne, has now officially added a slash to her resume and become a serious Hollywood actress overnight. The comedienne/actress won a SAG Award this weekend for Best Supporting Actress- officially bringing her tally to (about) five and leading many to believe she will eventually walk away with an Oscar for the same category.

Congrats to Mo’nique once again…
