KANYE + THE MUPPETS= ALLIGATOR BOOTS!
Kanye West teamed up with Comedy Central for their new 30 minute show that mixes music and puppets. Titled "Alligator Boots," it's hip-hop meets the Muppets! Alligator Boots features West's music, along with rapper Rhymefest, who are both executive producers on the project targeted for it's premiere in 2009. West is also the show's host, but is aiming for a different celebrity guest host for every episode, similar to the setup on the original "Muppet Show." Who else is excited to see how this turns out? I know I ammm
DMX was admitted to a Florida hospital on Tuesday for "fear of a stroke." Earl Simmons, A.K.A. DMX, was taken to the emergency room and is due to remain in doctors' care til his scheduled court appearance on Tuesday in Arizona where he was set to face theft charges. He also faces several animal cruelty and drug possession counts in the state. Who goes to the emergency room for "fear of stroke?" C'mon now!
T.I. (Young Steph's future baby daddy) was ordered by a judge to pay more child support to his baby mama, Tiny, after she claimed he wasn't providing enough money.
Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane told Clifford Harris, also known as T.I. to pay over $3,000 a month to son LaShon Dixon, and has been paying about $2,000 per month. T.I.P. must also continue paying for the boys to attend private school, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children's extracurricular activities. The couple received joint custody of the boys, ages 7 and 8.
Coming up with 3 racks a month shouldn't be hard for T.I., since he got stacks on deck and patron on ice...... Am I right or what?
You know, I am about to scream conspiracy with these reality shows! We all know that Chance and Real from "I Love Money" are getting a new reality show called "Real Chance At Love," right? Wrong. Anyway, the show will be premiering on VH1 in November or something. Skip that. The Stallionaires' myspace page has some nice pics up that I hope are indicative of the show. OK Chance, Whats next?
I am hearing, as you might have, Spike Lee had ambitions of turning Kanye West into a Hollywood superstar. See, Kanye has done the whole college thing so far that Spike wanted to include ‘Ye into a remake of "School Daze," the classic movie. Problem - nobody is willing to fund the movie. If I had the money, I would do it in a heartbeat. Where is Oprah? Somebody call Bob Johnson! The film was to take place at the very same college with a bunch of different issues. Anyway, Alicia Keys was all set to co-star, but no dice.
Brandy did a photo shoot for a her new album, Human, which is set for release on November 11th. I luv dat new single from this album, its definitely a banger.
Could Diddy Be Dissing Jay-Z On New Song "Swagga Like Puff" ?
Now, did you see this yet? I am not clear on what Diddy is trying to say with "Swagga Like Puff," but I am thinking he is feeling some kinda way about all these ballers collaborating...without him! He starts the song off with a Jay line..."What you want me to do? I'm sorry" As you know Jay-Z was the first to state that but then Puff said, "I ain't never went no where...I just thought I'd let ya'll live a bit." He also says, "I been dating R&B chicks..." Hmmmmmm....
Just When You Thought The Beef Between Kanye and 50 Was Over!!!
Just when you thought that fake beef between Kanye West and 50 Cent was over : "just woke up from a quick studio nap... I've been workin' on 808s and Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit... I'm in hawaii but I'm still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon. While approving the final cut for the Love Lockdown vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I'm very excited about the everything... I guarantee this will be 50's favorite album of mine. This will be gangster's album of the year".
This is a clip from R. Kelly's interview with BET and damn it, you gotta see this. Kells, Kells, Kells. My goodness. Did he really say, "When you say teen-aged girls, how old are we talking about"?
Buddhas Back!!! New York and Buddha Reunite....They're Dating Again
Y'all know that Tiffany 'New York' Pollard likes to recycle her men. Rumor has that the reality show queen has been spotted out in Los Angeles with her I Love New York contestant Buddha.
OR NOT!!! Don't blink fast, like something is in your eyes; yeah you just seen what you thought you saw. Dont know if this should be posted, call Jermaine Dupri. Whoa Janet!!!!
Flavor Flav made a reported $5 million from his last 3 seasons of his hit reality show Flavor of Love on VH1. According to one of his baby mamas, his 5 mil ain't enough to pay child support. He has a set family court date next week in Albany, New York. Doesn't have enough dough to support his kids but has enough to recently have a house built in Las Vegas?! Hmmmm...
Ciara mad at Beyonce? According to a person close to Ciara, she threw a fit when she saw that Beyonce was releasing a single called If I Were A Boy which has a video of Beyonce dressed like a dude, insisting that B was copying her. An insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Ciara was literally breaking things, it was scary..." Who woulda ever thought that B was such a swagga jacka!!!
