Take that Take that.


So now new artists can get their albums shelved on BadBoy/Interscope instead of BadBoy/Warner Music. Aha! Now I get it......

The Amazing Derek Blanks, just released these new shots of ANTP contestant Toccara via his @dblanks twitter page. Without a doubt Toccara who didn't even win the competition has been one of, if not the most commercially successful models to come from the franchise. According to @dblanks she's also a one woman force to be reckoned with, tweeting "Shout out to toccara. She did her own makeup, hair, and wardrobe." Get into that, Independent Woman game proper.

New Release Tuesday: Mariah Carey

Photobucket

Will Mariah Carey’s mesmerizing falsetto be able to have the kids running to their local record store to pick up her most passable new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel?”

If your still checking for MC, her latest album hits stores Tuesday, September 29, 2009. And from the sneak peep I've heard, it’s safe to say you’ll hear a mixed bag of club bangers and slow jams.

Album Highlights: “Obsessed” & “Up Out My Face”

Freddy's Back: A Horror Remake That I Can Finally Get Into



I hate Halloween, and I hate Friday the Thirteenth, because each series does nothing more but find creative ways to do the same damn thing (have weird villians kill for no reason except craziness). Even the villains from Texas Chainsaw Massacre killed for a reason (cannibalism and extreme ugliness) However, A Nightmare on Elm Street gives you soooooo much more than your average series of horror movies. And from the looks of it, this is going to be a horror remake that I can FINALLY get into. I'm just mad I have to wait 7 months.

Motivational Monday


“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”


- Helen Keller

The life of Helen Keller (pictured above with President Dwight Eisenhower) is incredibly inspiring. Despite being born deaf, mute, and blind, she led one of the most effective and altruistic lives in history. The above quote teaches me so much.

Even though I'm only one person, I am a person, and I can affect the future. Even though I can't do everything, if anything stops me from achieving success, it won't be ME!

In THIS Corner:

Wow! Things are REALLY hitting the fan between Mashonda & Alicia Keys. Apparently Ms.Keys was found posting some tweets about "love" this weekend & Mrs. Beatz just simply couldn't take it anymore! In a detailed letter, airing it ALL out, read Mashonda in her OWN words riiiiiight:

HERE!

At the end of the day (Thanks Frankie & Neffee) even though she felt the need to resort to tweeting the letter in public, it was (for the most part) eloquently written! 1 point for tact, 2 points for Team Mashonda!

Image Is Everything.

PhotobucketPictured: Stefani Germanotta

Don't let brunette traces of Stefani Germanotta fool you--This girl, in her teens, is none other than the artist known today as Lady Gaga.

I must say the character she walks around in uniform today is definitely more everlasting & iconic, If I should say, than this Stefani character from her pass. Imagery will get you a long way in this a** music industry. Talent & vocal ability no longer cut it....Not saying that Lady Gaga doesn't have any vocals or talent, because she clearly does...I'm just sayin, sometimes its a full package. And Gaga definitely comes equipped with that!

Check out this video of "Stefani Germanott" performing with band, live at The Bitter End in Hollywood via 2006.



Lady Gaga claims she went from brunette to blonde after an interviewer confused her with Amy Winehouse.

“Amy is a badass, but I want to be known for my own look,” says Lady Gaga-- who took her name from the 1984 Queen hit "Radio Ga Ga."

No Love for the Lady?

Photobucket
Word on the street is that Capital Records has pulled all future promo & handling of Letoya Luckett's sophomore effort "Lady Love". Granted she hasn't garnered the #1 success of her debut, but its not for lack of material or trying (IMO).

For whatever reason though, radio has shown the "She Aint Got" singer NO love this time around & its crazy to me because [i think] the music is great! Secretly, this has "you know who" written allll over it, but i hope there really weren't any shady dealings behind the scenes for the treatment this beauty is receiving. Hopefully her forthcoming movie "Preacher's Kid" will help a sista out, meanwhile feel free to get in2 the shots below from her recent photoshoot with MTV:

Single Ladies --Baby Edition



Caught this HILARIOUS clip over the weekend-- By far the best "Single Ladies" clip I've seen in a while. Check out this baby cut-a-rug to the "Single Ladies" track, which has gained widespread popularity for its catchy hook and theme of female empowerment.

*Waits for clip to make it's way to the Ellen show*

Pictured above is the official album cover for Amerie’s upcoming album In Love & War. And personally, I think it gives off "fan submission" more than love or war....

I never been a fan of blah album covers. The cover itself, as with any album cover, should tell a story almost --something like this. What I get from Ameri's cover is pure fan art...point, blank period!

Needless to say, I'm not feeling it. Hopefully the content on the actual album is more worth the wait.
