VIDEO FAB: Ciara's "Sorry" Vid

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 04:39 PM PDT

Ciara just released the full video for her "Sorry" single off her upcoming One Woman Army album.  Check out the sexy chick dancing out her emotions and telling her fella....all he had to say was "Sorry."

In the Christopher Sims-directed video just released tonight, 26-year-old Ciara pours out her heart about parting ways with a man who made promises he couldn't keep.  He promised to give her a ring on Christmas, promised to stay, and apparently, he got "caught up in the streets."

CiCi already shut down rumors that the song is about her ex Amar'e Stoudemire....but whether it's about 50 Cent or Bow Wow or someone else is still to be determined.

Your thoughts?

Her next single “Got Me Good” drops October 8th .

Alicia Keys Reveals Recording Sessions W/ Jay-Z For VH1 "Storytellers"

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 04:14 PM PDT

Alicia Keys recorded her VH1 "Storytellers" episode last night at the Metropolis Studios in NYC.  Check out what the "Girl On Fire" singer said about Jay-Z demanding a re-record on their track inside...

In a black sleeveless top and shiny silver pants with her sky high black Louboutins (pictured above in between takes), Ms. Keys took that stage last night to record her upcoming episode of VH1 "Storytellers."

Alicia revealed just how the new New York Anthem, "Empire State of Mind," came about. 

Her longtime New York homie Jay-Z called her up and said he had a song for her to hear.  And after she recorded her verses the first time while congested, the perfectionist Mr. Carter told her it was good, but could be better.  Jay demanded a re-record, and Alicia semi-jokingly revealed she "felt some kind of way."  And after she went back and hit the sing hard, a new classic was born.

The mom of almost-2-year-old Egypt also dished on her baby boy's fave song of mommy's, working with Kanye West & John Legend before they blew up, and more.

Alicia's "Storytellers" airs Monday, November 12th at 11pm ET/PT on VH1.

SERIOUSLY?: Rapper Webbie ARRESTED For ROBBING And KICKING A Woman Down A FLIGHT Of Stairs!

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 03:50 PM PDT

Louisiana rapper Webbie was arrested in Baton Rouge recently for allegedly robbing a woman and kicking her down a flight of stairs. Find out what happened inside......

"Independent" Rapper Webbie lost his mind and (allegedly) robbed a woman for $340 after kicking her down a flight of stairs in Baton Rouge recently.  A police report on the incident claims that Webbie met the alleged victim at a party last night and some ish went down at the Chase Suite Hotel.  His mugshot is above.

After Webbie was banned from the premises (reason unknown), he allegedly knocked the woman down two flights of stairs and stole her purse (with $340 inside).

At least that's what the police report says...

Webbie was released today on $9K bond and his rep says Webbie never attacked the woman. Oddly, the rep admits that Webbie took money from the chick, but he claims it was money she stole from him!  If rappers are catching charges over $340...times are rougher than we thought.

Webbie plans to fight the charges, of course.  And if you forgot who dude is...

Wiz Khalifa COVERS October/November 2012 COMPLEX Magazine, REVEALS Why "O.N.I.F.C." Was Pushed Back!

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 02:03 PM PDT

Engaged Papa-To-Be Wiz Khalifa talks about balancing being an artist and making money in the latest issue of COMPLEX Magazine. Get the deets inside....

Behind the glitz and glamour of record label marketing machines, "Work Hard, Play Hard" rapper Wiz Khalifa has proven that it's still possible to go from "local star to indie signee to Internet celebrity to major-label superstar." And all the while, he stay true to "his" vision. In the latest issue of COMPLEX, Wiz dishes on this balancing act that artists go through (e.g. Lupe Fiasco). Here are the highlights:

On pushing O.N.I.F.C. back

“Atlantic likes O.N.I.F.C.,” says Wiz. “But they want more obvious singles because that’s what sells it for them. My belief in the record is what sells it to me. It’s not a conflict. You just have to communicate so everybody understands it.”

On walking the fine line between being an artist and making Atlantic happy

“When you’re working with other people, you figure out how much you do for them and how much you do for yourself.  You can’t just be an artist fighting for your opinion and that’s it. The label has to understand artists. I wanted to make Rolling Papers when I made Rolling Papers, now it’s time for O.N.I.F.C. Now we’re going to do it exactly how I want to do it to see how that works. It can’t be one-sided.”

On his father's best advice:

“My dad made me write down goals every couple of months.  “He’d say, ‘What are your goals for the next couple months?’ I’d tell him, ‘To get this, to do this, and have enough money to buy this.’”

 

Check out Wiz's photoshoot below:

 Cool photoshoot Wiz!

Chad Johnson FINALLY Files His Divorce Papers, Pleads "Not Guilty" To Battery

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 01:34 PM PDT

Chad Johnson has finally given his estranged wife Evelyn Lozada what she wants...his divorce papers.  Despite the fact Evelyn filed a month ago and Chad kept refusing to cooperate, he marched into the courthouse this morning to make it official.

 

Deets inside, plus his "Not Guilty" plea on that battery charge...

According to reports, Chad has finally filed his own divorce papers, declaring the marriage is irretrievably broken.  But Chad also says he and Evelyn had a pre-nup that should be honored.  The pre-nup stated that each party would foot their own legal bills in the case of a divorce.  And since Evelyn's trying to make Chad pay her legal bills, he wants the pre-nup enforced.

The divorce still isn't final...yet.  But reportedly Evelyn is jumping for joy.  Chad's been tweeting his fans saying she is not to blame for ruining his life.

As for that battery charge the state attorney's office put on him, Chad entered a plea of not guilty in a Florida court this morning.  The L.A. Times reports:

If convicted of misdemeanor battery, Johnson would face a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also be ordered to perform community service, probation or anger-management classes.

Meanwhile, Evelyn will appear on "Iyanla: Fix My Life" Saturday night on OWN to give a tearful recount of the failed marriage.

Chicago Bulls Baller Derrick Rose Reveals New 'D Rose 3' Shoe, Apparel & PIZZA Investment + First Look Inside BROOKLYN NETS Court

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 12:23 PM PDT

While NBA baller Derrick Rose continues his road to recovery after a torn ACL, he's making some serious business moves off the court.  He already signed a $250 mill, 14 year deal with Adidas, and now his newest shoe and apparel were just revealed today.

 

Check the pics and deets inside, plus his new pizza investment, and get a look at the new Brooklyn Nets court...

Derrick Rose was on hand today in his hometown of Chicago to unveil his newest shoe--The D Rose 3 Signature Collection.  The baller says it's his most personal shoe to date as he's has to rebuild his body and mindset to make this quick of a recovery, so he re-designed his logo as well.

He broke down into tears at today's press conference talking about the love for his city and the people in it, and despite all the struggles of violence and strikes the city is going through, they still support D Rose through it all.

"The D Rose 3 signature collection is special to me because I worked side-by-side with adidas on everything from materials to fit to colors to make it the best we've done yet," said Rose. "I love the new logo that calls out the most important things to me: my family, basketball and the city of Chicago."

Not only does he have a new shoe (dropping October 4th) and apparel, but he just invested his time and image into Chicago's yummy pizza chain magnate Giordano's.  The baller is a new equity partner and will be doing non-Bulls related ad campaigns for the company, location visits, and will even mix up his own namesake pizza:

"I've always been a big fan of their stuffed pizzas," said Rose. "I'm working right now on my own signature pizza that we plan to introduce very soon. I'm actually pretty good in the kitchen."

Sexy, extra rich AND can cook?  Yes please.  Check out some promo pics of Derrick below:

 

And in other sports news, Hello Brooklyn!  The new Brooklyn Nets NBA team has released a few pics of their court inside the Barclays Center:

All black everything of course...except for the herringbone court.  You feelin' it?

DMX Says On The Breakfast Club He'd Like To Catch DRAKE & "BEAT HIM UP", Gives Real Talk About The Rap Game!

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 11:18 AM PDT

Hilarious rapper DMX dropped by The Breakfast Club this morning where he revealed he'd like to catch Drake and beat him up on an elevator! This dude....

 

Listen to the interview inside........

On Power 105. 1's "The Breakfast Club," rapper DMX admitted that he isn't too impressed with the rappers on the scene now. While DMX said he is bringing "integrity" rap to the table (oh?), he said other "rappers" should admit that they aren't doing hip hop.

He said, "Just because you are black and wear jewelry doesn't make you a rapper."  Well we gotta agree with him there.

And on the subject of his close late friend Aaliyah, he said he felt it was disrespectful of Drake to produce her upcoming album. 

"It’s disrespectful; like that don’t even make sense, that’s like wrong man. Man I wish it was like 10 years ago, catch a n*gga on the elevator and beat him up….He ain’t gotta be by himself. We wolfed out in this joint."

And when it came to reality tv, he blasted stars of "LAHH ATL" saying,

"I might watch it for a few minutes. It’s like ‘Really?’ Some of it I can’t even stomach. I don’t see nothing real about it. Ain’t nobody made one got damn song on the show. I don’t see any love on there and no music. It should be called ‘N*ggas on Some Bullsh*t."

Who knew we'd be agreeing with DMX this much?

He also revealed that he and ex-wife Tasheera Simmon are officially over.  He said, "I'm glad I got out of it when I did."  He said he is still involved with his kids.  He added that Tasheera "didn't watch" their money.  He didn't say they were broke, but he let it be known that she was supposed to be in charge, and she didn't handle it.  Womp.

He also added that he doesn't find Nicki Minaj attractive saying,

"I’m good on that. I wouldn’t do that. I don’t know her to not like her. I’m not attracted to her. It’s too much going on. I know she don’t hop out the bed lookin’ like that."

Check.  When asked about Kanye and Kim, he shook his head saying he would never date her because she got famous from a sex tape.  WOMP.
