Promo Trail: Usher’s Raymond v. Raymond Album Trailer

Not sure if you have heard about this already but the Magical Monchichi had a pretty eventful year in 2009. The drama with his failed marriage could easily translate into an album full of shitty material but let’s all try to hope for the best. At least for Mama Jonetta’s sake.

Quick Quotes: Alicia Keys On Rumors

ak1 1 Quick Quotes: Alicia Keys On Rumors

“When I first started out, [people talking about me] bothered me because I didn’t understand it. I’d think, How could they say these things that had no validity? I felt I had to speak out about things and clear my name. But as time went on I realized it was a waste of energy. I think it’s better to just keep things moving. People will take [your business] and run with it in whichever direction they choose.”

Day Late, Dollar Short: The Barbadian Set To Break Her Silence

Blah, blah, blah. My only wish is that she will perform the opening dance sequence from Do The Right Thing with the “I Can Transform Ya” instrumental playing in the background. Boxing gloves and all. I doubt it will happen but there’s nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

Like most canines, Pound Puppy is a loyal companion. Applaud that pooch.

“A lot of people were jumping on different bandwagons and I really felt like that was wack. Before the incident between him and Rihanna, Chris had always been my brother. When we met we clicked instantly from our fashion styles to our love of basketball to dancing to everything. I’ve known him for four years and I was one of the only people that stood by his side when the situation happened . . . When he gets back to where he used to be, a lot of people are going to come running back and smiling in his face. He knows who really are his friends. I think stuff like this happens to really show you who really cares about you.”

Question of the Day

rihanna wait Question of the Day

As I peeked over to the trending topics that appeared on my Twitter homepage yesterday, I saw an interesting date: November 23, 2009. Apparently, this day is going to be special or whatnot because its the day that the Barbadian is set to make her musical comeback [fake smile] after the Tappahannock Beaver decided to go all Leona Lewis [is it still too early?] on her face. Fresh asked me a question today that refers to her comeback: “How is this going to affect the rest of us?”

I don’t know yet, but I’m sure its going to involve a lot of heavy eye-makeup, heavy promotion on Amber Rose’s girlfriends’ blog and snarky comments from the head camel himself.

P.S. To all the people following Rihanna on Twitter, don’t play yourself. Its probably some overworked intern in a closet at Island Def Jam tweeting back to y’all asses.

For those of you out in Crunkland who give a good damn:

Kanye West’s much-hyped “Fame Kills” tour with Lady Gaga has been canceled — with no reason as yet given.

Despite the fact that a rep from Live Nation said Wednesday that the concerts were still a go … Nation announced Thursday they were pulling the plug on the tour, TMZ reports.

No explanation has been put forward — but the VMA backlash and Kanye’s upcoming criminal court date could have been factors. [source]

Captain Obvious News Report: Gospel Singer Tonex Comes Out The Closet

tonex Captain Obvious News Report: Gospel Singer Tonex Comes Out The Closet

If gospel artist Tonex believes that he has been keeping his fever under wraps up until now he should be evaluated. By Mashonda. On Twitter. With follow up questions provided by Norwood Young.

Never too far from controversy, gospel artist Tonex recently announced on Word Network’s “The Lexi Show” that he is attracted to men. After many years of speculation over his sexuality, the 34-year-old pastor of Truth Apostolic Community Church in San Diego said he has found comfort in putting the rumors to rest.

In a video interview on the show, Tonex, whose real name is Anthony Williams, described himself as a “free spirit,” and said he is not struggling with homosexuality.

“I think that when someone understands who they are sexually and they understand who they are as a person, it’s really difficult to label that,” Tonex said. “Other times I’m like, hm, I do want kids and I do very much love women…but at the same time we have to be honest with ourselves as to what it is that we have an affinity for.”
