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

You didn't think his humility shtick would last, did you?
On Kanye West's first album since his post-Swift mea culpa — and the first since he mewled through a disk of sad and desperate love songs ("808s and Heartbreak") — West has again become the megalomaniacal, infuriating mess we want him to be. After all, a repentant West makes as much sense as an introspective George W. Bush. It's just not in the DNA. And given the payoff on "My Beautiful… Continue

The campaign, which prominently features Black and Hispanic gay couples, encourages young gay men to be proud of their sexuality and to get tested for HIV. A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study showed men of color are the least likely to be aware of their HIV status,… Continue
Alicia Keys' new hubby Swizz Beatz is a profit-hogging fraud -- this according to a jilted songwriter who claims he co-produced the song "My Drink 'n My 2 Step" ... but got nothing to show for it.
The songwriter in question -- named Antwann Frost -- filed the lawsuit two days ago ... claiming Swizz hit him up in 2007 to help put together a hit single for rapper Cassidy's then incomplete album.

Her records are filled with intense moments of pain and joy, but when she is just sitting there without a microphone or spotlight in front of her, Mary J. Blige is cool and a lot of fun.
Put aside the glam and the sassy delivery and what emerges is a woman who enjoys a good chat and comes across as a deeply spiritual person. Call her the High Priestess of Hip Hop.
Eleven days ago, Blige embarked on a 17-concert fall trek that she… Continue

Plies and Young Jeezy have an obvious respect for each other. If you know either one of the Southern street champs, you know they won't do collaborations with just anybody.
Plies just released the song "Look Like," featuring Jeezy and Fabolous, which comes on the heels of the underground record "So Bad" that leaked last year and the Snowman's current club anthem "Lose My Mind."
