Howard Stern Supports Gay Marriage






I can't stand the man, I really can't. I find his humor to be extremely ignorant at times, and he just rubs me the wrong way. The being said, he's 100% right.

Beyonce on Letterman & Today Show & ET

Update:

Beyonce was on the Today Show earlier today. Check out this brilliant performance of Halo.



Pictures from her arriving at David Letterman (yesterday):







Part 1


Part 2 (Fast forward to 1:20)


"Halo" Performance


I LOVE how bubbly she full of LIFE she's been in her recent interviews. She's so full of emotion now, a complete 180 of the bland and boring Beyonce we're so used to seeing. As for that Halo performance, it was nice and she looked beautiful. I love the song (which by the way, moves up one spot this week on the Hot 100 to #12). That being said, I would like for her to perform this song in its original key, not an octave lower. It changes the "umph" and feel of the song when she sings it so low. I know she can pull it off. =]

Beyonce was also on ET earlier today. Check out what she does when folks ask her about her husband:

Beyonce Chokes Up During Interview + New Video Announced

Aww, I've never seen Beyonce choke up like that. She's so adorable. Reminds me how much I love my mother. <3

In other Beyonce news, the video for Sweet Dreams has been booked. The video is going to be directed by Adria Petty (Duffy's "Mercy"). Click here for more info.

Beyonce has released four singles thus far: If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, Diva and Halo. Two more are on the way (the videos for Broken-Hearted Girl & Ego have already been shot as they're the next singles) and apparently Beyonce is shooting the video for Sweet Dreams right now (her choreographer and assistant confirmed this). And there are rumors (and pictures) circulating that suggest she's shot videos for Smash Into You, Scared of Lonely and Radio already. Shit, how many singles does Beyonce plan on releasing from this album? Lord knows, but if her last album is any indication, we should be getting a re-release and a video anthology really soon.

Preview of Teairra Mari's New Video "Cause A Scene"

I've never really been a fan of Teairra, so I really don't know if she's your typical/bland R&B chick or if she actually has some depth to her. Whatever the case may be, she's back with a new single and the video actually looks like it's going to be good. Hm, we shall see.

Solange Performs "T.O.N.Y." on Jimmy Fallon

That was a good performance! This girl is so underrated. Yea, she may come off as a immature and a know-it-all sometimes, but the girl is extremely talented. I still bump Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams to this day, which is interesting to me because I haven't listened to her big sister's album in quite some time. I like the fact that she takes risks, even if they don't work. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Michelle Rodriguez on Cover of "Latina" Magazine (May '09)



From Latina.com:

She’s been labeled insane, tough, controversial and bisexual. All of these things Michelle Rodriguez can neither confirm nor deny. But Latina’s May cover star does talk openly about her hard partying past, the stereotypes she battles in Hollywood, and what she finds attractive in a mate. Read on for some of Rodriguez’s choice quotes, and pickup the new issue of Latina, on newsstands April 22nd.

On Her Parents:
My father loved women,” she says of dad Rafael, who died in 1997 of liver failure due to alcoholism. “And my mom, like a smart Dominican woman, used to smell his underwear when he came home to make sure he hadn’t been with someone else.


On the Idea of Marriage:
I don’t believe in commitment. That’s like giving somebody the responsibility of your happiness, like, ‘Here, you make sure that all my orgasms are great, that I have somebody to hold on cold winter nights, and just assure me that if anybody messes with me, you’ll beat them up.’ Other than that, I don’t see the point of marriage. But when I need my love, I get my love.


On racking up $250,000 in legal fees and serving 18 days in L.A.’s Lynwood Jail:
It was important for me to get all of that stuff out of the way before I hit 30. It was a bunch of reality checks all at once, like, ‘Wake up, kid, time to get to work.’ Now I feel like I’m being born again.


On Being Misunderstood:
I knock on wood that the media will understand me. But if I only saw one percent of my life, I would think the same thing everybody else thinks. So when they don’t get it, I don’t feel lost. My whole thing is, I’m waiting for them to catch up.


On What Attracts Her:
Hugh Jackman,” she says, stipulating that she likes her men over 35 and with the right mix of brains and brawn. “I can’t stand boys. A boy looks at me like he wants to bang me, and I wanna throw up. I like men, ’cause they’ve been around the block and they respect their mamis. It’s hard to find one that’s not machista.


On Not Following the Rules in Hollywood:
If I had done what the powers that be in Hollywood told me to do—‘Do a hot action movie playing the half-naked girlfriend, then do a Maxim cover [which Rodriguez has turned down in the past] and then start a music career to make yourself even hotter’— I’d be making $10 million per movie by now. If I would’ve followed that formula, kissing all the asses along the way, then I’d be there right now. But I wouldn’t be happy because I wouldn’t be living my truth.


Check out a behind-the-scenes video of Michelle at her Latina cover shoot!

Best R&B and Pop Albums of the Last Decade

The 90's had Lauryn Hill. Mary J. Blige. Monica. I think even Brandy delivered a near classic record. I can name countless albums by both male and female artists (from the 90's) that are considered "classic" albums today. So let's fast forward to the new millennium: what albums, that have been released in the last ten years or so, do you consider classics? Ten years from today, what albums will be remembered and cherished from the 2000's as "timeless" or damn near masterpieces? These albums quickly come to mind:

















Food for thought. This one is a tough one. I want to hear your answers. I will be back with my complete list...
