The new music video for "Hold My Hand" begins with hundreds of Michael Jackson fans yelling, "Love you, Michael" -- before showcasing classic MJ clips, MJ impersonations, and a giant shadow of Michael cast on the side of a hangar. The music video also features a heavy dose of Akon -- MJ's duet partner on the song -- and around 2:44 ... a man with one hand. A casting call for the video had listed a role for "a disabled person… Continue

Last week Kanye West and Nicki Minaj held the first and second spots but this week they get dethroned by Susan Boyle and Taylor Swift. That means the number one Hip Hop (and I use the term Hip Hop loosely) album for the week is by none other than The Black Eyed Peas. The group’s sixth studio album, The Beginning, enters the charts at number six and sells 117,066 copies. Unless there is some kind of a Hip Hop, Christmas miracle, expect to see these guys… Continue
Swizz Beatz is a jack-of-all-trades: colorful rapper, producer for the likes of Kanye West and Jay-Z, designer for brands such as Aston Martin and Christian Louboutin. He's also Mr. Alicia Keys. But to NYU students, he's a dreammaker.
The 32-year-old hip-hop veteran — who was just nominated for three Grammys last week — was recently named a producer-in-residence at the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. Since his tenure kicked…
Young Jeezy was arrested in the Bahamas over this past weekend for an unknown infraction, according to the Bahamas' Tribune newspaper. The rapper was slated to hit the stage during a concert on Saturday (December 4th) in Fox Hill, but was instead, taken into custody at the Wulff Road Police station.
According to reports, the rapper was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when he was arrested and released, just before his… Continue
Now I see why the Doug E. Fresh been doing so many appearances. The IRS filed a lien against him with the New York City register’s office in October for his $2,276, 848 debt, according to a report in the Detroit News. This isn’t the first time Uncle Sam knocked on his door. In 2008, he owed $367,000 in taxes. Despite his tax troubles, he continued with his business ventures and opened up his eatery in Harlem.
Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj have been the center of attention when it comes to females in Hip-Hop for the past couple of months. Since they’re on some tit-for-tat type shizzz, Eve felt it was the right time to creep up on these chicks and throw out a new track featuring Swizz Beatz called “Hot Steppa #1.”…
Seems the mystery illness that has sidelined music legend Aretha Franklin from the stage until May is much more serious than gout or a bad case of heartburn. In fact, the Queen of Soul could be in for the fight of her life.
The Snitch Circuit is abuzz this Wednesday with whispers that Franklin has been diagnosed with advanced (Read: Inoperable and Incurable) pancreatic cancer.
The National Enquirer claims doctors made the glum… Continue
Khloe Kardashian is the latest frequent flier to speak out against the TSA, and she doesn't want airport security touching her junk ever again. "They basically are just raping you in public," the reality star said Monday on "Lopez Tonight."
"I got asked the other day, do you want to go for a screening or get patted down," she said. "I don't want that X-Ray to see everything, honey!"
Kardashian, 26, described her unpleasant… Continue
Oregon now has a real-life superhero: Captain Awesome. Douglas Allen Smith Jr. officially changed his name to the cartoon-style moniker last month after a Lane County judge approved the switch.
His awesome new name is no joke – he now refers to himself by the first name "Captain" while "Awesome" is his surname, according to The Register-Guard.
The man formerly known as Smith says he chose his new name after watching NBC's… Continue
During Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera's rapid rise to fame in the late '90s, both stars were subjected to endless scrutiny and speculation that they upgraded their physical assets. Now, new photos may provide confirmation – at least for one of them.
Aguilera, in Tokyo Tuesday to promote her film "Burlesque," raised her arm to greet spectators, revealing a scar in her right armpit.
Five Columbia University students - including a former student government leader - were busted Tuesday for dealing drugs out of frat houses and dorms on the Ivy League campus, officials said. The undergrads sold nearly $11,000 in cocaine, LSD, marijuana, ecstasy and other drugs to undercover cops since July, police charged.
"This is no way to work your way through college," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

Rihanna has claimed that she confronted her record company about her image and said that she needed to changed so that she could be noticed. The ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ singer revealed that before her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ was released in 2007, she wasn’t able to dress as she pleased and was her management’s doll (pretty much). In an interview with Bang Showbiz, the 22-year-old said: “I had a ridiculous schedule. It was kind of unfair. But… Continue
Something strange and fascinating happens on Chrisette Michele's new CD, just when it's almost over.
Fourteen songs in, during "If Nobody Sang Along," Michele sings lines that implicitly question everything that went before. "Who is all this for?/Is it my song or yours?/Would I even sing my song/if nobody sang along."
It's an amazing line of questioning for an artist to raise in public: What are my motivations? Am I… Continue
You have to hand it to Ciara. It took genuine nerve for her to title her new CD after the movie "Basic Instinct," drawing inspiration from Sharon Stone's ice-pick-wielding, man-eater of a character. In fact, Ciara represents the polar opposite of that hard, cool S&M fantasy. With her breathy coo of a voice, she implies utter compliance, a dreamy plaything primed to do your bidding.
Commercially, that character has struck a… Continue
