Beyoncé is out Hey all! There is a lot of music news and I'm going to try my best to cover everything in this one post. So Beyoncé has officially dropped out of headlining Coachcella. In a statement, it was revealed that Beyoncé will instead headline in 2018. Let's just hope she's not pregnant with triplets by then.  Future just released his second new album in a week,"Hendrxx". The album features Rihanna and The Weeknd. Just last week, Future released his self-titled album which is slated to be the #1 album next week.  Omarion is allegedly the guy in a video that is making the rounds. The video features a male waving his genitals in a helicopter motion. Omarion has yet to speak on the video and if it is him or not.  Nicki Minaj has everyone talking when she was featured on two recently released new singles. She is said to be taking shots at Remy Ma on "Swalla" a collaboration with Jason DeRulo and Ty Dolla Sign and "Make Love" w...

Mariah's ex in hospital Nick Cannon is in the hospital after a Lupus outbreak. The TV host and ex-husband to Mariah Carey was seen in hospital after pictures surfaced. Cannon stated that he would be spending the holidays in the hospital. There is no word yet if Mariah has taken the kids to see their father. I hope so though since they typically all spend holidays together as a family. Get well Nick! Speaking of Nick, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill are reportedly still together and not broken up as its been indicated on social media. Frankly I'm sick of their squabbles playing out on social media. I know people get so excited at the though of Nicki breaking up with Meek but it looks like its not happening...again. Maybe if you all continue to pray, it will happen one day. Ha!  Big Sean has revealed that he will release a new album, "I Decided" on February 3. His album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The new song "Moves" is now available to str...

Mariah's ex has a new baby Nick Cannon is spreading his seed throughout the industry. The TV host recently admitted that he has fathered a child with a Brittany Bell. I'm not sure who the girl is nor does anyone else. This comes on the heels of the rumors that Nick Cannon was dating Chili from TLC. Nick Cannon recently appeared on syndicated radio show, "The Breakfast Club" where he expounded on everything but I haven't watched the interview yet. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I plan to watch it anyway.  Kanye West has everyone talking and its for all the wrong reasons. He recently revealed that he did not vote in this past election. He says had he voted it would of been for Donald Trump. The comment left everyone flabbergasted and the memes and outcry began and they weren't good. It's funny because Kanye had endorsed Hilary Clinton but I'm not sure what happened there. Someone made light of the fact that Kanye West is supporting someone...

VH1 Divas Mariah Carey is gearing up to headline a Christmas special of VH1's "VH1 Divas". The show will be recorded on December 2 and will air on December 5 on VH1. There is no word on whether any other divas will perform or if it will just be Mariah. Imagine that! Speaking of Mariah, her ex, Nick Cannon is said to have fathered a child with his ex and if that's not enough he was seen on a date with another ex, Christina Milian. What happened to him and Chili? It looks like Nick Cannon is juggling a lot of women. I guess he is a "Gigolo" like he rapped on his hit song of the same name.  Lil' Wayne says "fk(fuck) ya" to T.I. after T.I. posted a lengthy message to Wayne after the whole Black Lives Matter interview fiasco. I saw the message but honestly it was too long to read and frankly I could care less about what T.I. has to say. I just wanna see him naked! Haha!  We all know Sevyn Streeter right? She's had a couple of hit song...

Mariah Carey is on the latest issue of Complex magazine and in it, she opens up about her new relationship and her divorce from Nick Cannon. When asked about her divorce, Carey expresses disappointment in the relationship citing that she didn't want to get married, have kids, and divorce. She felt that she went down that road before with ex-husband, Tommy Mottola. As far as her impending engagement, Mariah says she will be walking down the aisle again sooner than we think. In reality TV news, Phaedra Parks of "RHOA"(Real Housewives of Atlanta) found her law office evaded by a madman with a bomb strapped to his leg in search of her. Apparently the man in question, who some believe may be 90s rapper, Drama was looking for Phaedra because he was upset with her. No one knows the true reason of his upset but of course social media has had a field day with the unfortunate event making various jokes. Me personally, when I first read of the story, I figured her current husband...

Fresh off her performance at the VH1 "Hip Hop Honors", DeJ Loaf who paid tribute to Lil' Kim is now in the studio with the Queen Bee. The two posed in a picture that made the rounds today via social media. So there are a few questions I'm curious to know. When will we hear this collaboration, that's one and whose album will it be featured on? I know DeJ Loaf said she was working on her first album and who knows if Kim will drop an album any time soon. We can however expect Lil' Kim to drop a song or a mixtape but what about an album? I believe that's what the fans really want but for now they'll take Kim however they can. In other music news, Nick Cannon is reportedly dating Chili from TLC. When asked about it, Nick told ET(Entertainment Tonight) to "ask her"(Chili). I'm not sure if Chili has been available for comment since she's typically touring with T-Boz. We see Nick Cannon a lot more since he hosts like 20 different shows so ...

As we all know Mariah Carey is still legally married to Nick Cannon and the rumor has been that he is not willing to sign the divorce papers. Nick Cannon is denying this and says he wants Mariah to be "happy". Well then, sign those damn divorce papers! Justin Beiber was seen on camera fighting in Cleveland at the Westin Hotel after a man and two women asked for a picture. Justin replied "no" and went to lunge on the man. What is Justin smoking? He really needs to get over his self in my opinion. Bobby Brown's tell-all interview has some people reeling particularly mother of Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston. And we all know Cissy don't play. Cissy talked to People magazine and blasted Bobby's claims about Whitney. In the interview, if you missed it, Bobby says he caught Whitney doing drugs on their wedding day; which is pretty believable. Whitney herself says the drugs started around 1992. He also alleges that Whitney had a same sex relationship with fri...

Chingy says he is not endorsing Donald Trump after everyone came for him on social media. My thing is this, if your for Trump then stand by your choice. Don't backtrack when you get called out on it. Mariah Carey is still technically married to Nick Cannon so she won't be getting married anytime soon. Her fiance is also still married. Hmm. Nick Cannon, however did send his congratulations. And after Keshia Knight-Pulliam of "The Cosby Show" got married to Ed Hartwell, both their exes, Lisa Wu and Big Tigger were seen celebrating at one of Lisa's events. Messsssy! R. Kelly opened up, somewhat about his marriage relationship to Aaliyah. He said how much he was in love with her and how they were best friends. He didn't exactly admit their secret union out of respect for her family. He also went on to say in the GQ magazine story that he was molested at an early age. Well that is all folks! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thanks for reading! :)

Nick Cannon says he doesn't want to marry again after divorcing from Mariah Carey. I heard this Wednesday on "Wendy" and I agree with what Wendy said, I think he will marry again but sometime down the line to someone who is not as established as Mariah maybe, someone who may be a lessor to him. What do you think? Do you think Nick Cannon will every marry again or do you even care? In other music news, Azealia Banks says we will have new music from her as early as February. The controversial rapper plans to release a mixtape titled, "Slay-Z" which features the rapper rapping over some of Jay-Z's most infamous beats. This has been in the making for awhile but Azealia had been unable to release due to her being locked in a label dispute. After January, she is a free agent and free to release music as she wishes. Can't wait! And on TV, Sunday marks the return of Nene Leakes to "RHOA" after spending the first 10 episodes away from the show that ma...

Has Mariah Carey finally moved on from Nick Cannon? Well its looking that way according to recent pictures that has spotted the singer with an Australian billionaire. The guy, James Packer is said to be the 4th wealthiest man in Australian, said to be worth 4.6 billion dollars. Talk about an upgrade from Nick Cannon. And speaking of Nick, he has also moved on as he's been spotted with a much younger looking girl. The two have been seen walking and holding hands at an amusement park. In some other totally unrelated music news, Rob Kardashian, the brother of the famous Kardashian clan was seen out and about, late at night on a burger run. Rob has been in hiding a lot since his weight has skyrocketed. He was looking pretty unrecognizable but if you looked long and hard you could tell it was him. Whatever he is going through hopefully he gets through it. And I apologize for being so late on reporting this because I don't think I have and if I did, I don't remember; Cynthia Ba...

Your looking at a throwback picture right here circa 2005. It was a picture taken at the first place I started working at which is the same place I still work at just in a different building. Funny how fast time flies. And while Ciara may not be cashing in on her record sales she is keeping busy by being the new face of Roberto Cavalli. It's funny because her sometimes rival Rihanna is the face of another big designer, Dior. Hmm..its funny because last week Wendy Williams suggested that Ciara try modeling and it looks like she got wind of the advice long before it was solicited. Speaking of modeling, Tyson Beckford took time away from canoodling Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown's ex and has now set his sights on Mariah Carey. The two cuddled up for a picture last night I'm guessing. I read the picture was taken on Snapchat. Anyway people were saying is Nick Cannon going to come for Tyson now? :) I doubt it but you never know. TheShadeRoom was referring to Tyson as "Mr. S...

KISS ME: So Drake has spoken out regarding the shocking kiss between he and Madonna over the weekend. While the video showed Drake looking rather disgusted with the kiss, Drake however says that he "feels 100" about the kiss and he thoroughly enjoyed it. JACKIE: Something else you may enjoy is the new upcoming album from Ciara titled "Jackie". The singer recently released the album's tracklisting which features 11 tracks and the deluxe version 16 tracks. The album features guest appearances and production from Missy Elliott, Pitbull, Dr. Luke(worked with Britney Spears), Polow Da Don, Diane Warren, Harmony Samuels(worked with Fantasia), and Ester Dean. The album's second single has been selected and its titled "Dance Like We're Making Love". Current single "I Bet" features a recently released remix with T.I. and Joe Jonas, but on separate remixes. Sounds like there's a lot going on and it is if you ask me. So with that being said...

DOGG POUND: So we are all awaiting the season finale of "Empire" this week on Fox and for the finale none other than Snoop Dogg will be guest starring. I can only imagine what role he will take on. There have been so many twist and turns this season so make sure you watch this Wednesday. BABY LOVE: Benzino and Althea of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" fame have announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple was famously fired from LHHATL after allegedly threatening bodily harm to producer Mona Scott-Young. Congratulations to the couple! EARLY LEAK: Kendrick Lamar is upset at his record label Interscope for prematurely making his new album, "To Pimp a Butterfly" available on iTunes. The album wasn't supposed to be released until March 23 but only the clean version is available at presstime. Should Kendrick be upset or should he just let it slide since his album is now on sale and reviews have been generally good thus far. MOVING ...

French Montana bought Diddy a Cadillac Escalade for his 45th birthday! Azealia Banks pulled a Beyoncé and released her album Broke With Expensive Taste via iTunes. Ray J's former assistant and Teairra Mari got on the radio to expose Ray. Morgan claims Ray J hit her in front of her child. Nick Cannon and Amber Rose were partying it up with Nelly for some festivities. Beyoncé penned an emotional letter to new mom Kelly Rowland congratulating her on the birth of her baby boy, Titan. But made no time to speak of the rumors of her being high at the basketball game. Then again Beyoncé doesn't respond to rumors anyway. Though she may address them in a remix song down the line. And that's all the news I have today in a nutshell. For more on these stories you can hop on one of the other blogs. See what I just did there. I gave them some free promo just as long as you come back here! Ha! Have a good night everyone and enjoy! Thanks for reading and visiting! 

Tyga & Blac Chyna - I don't know the story on what went down between these two but when they were together you couldn't see one without the other. Somewhere along the line things took a turn for the worse after the birth of their child. Now Tyga is allegedly dating Kendall Jenner who is seven years his junior. It looks like Tyga didn't waste any time moving on.   Ashanti & Nelly - These lovebirds who were said to be together off and on for the last 10 years finally called their relationship quits early this year. The strained relationship was documented on Ashanti's Braveheart album release.   Beyoncé & Jay Z - Hip Hop's most powerful couple set the gossip blogs on fire this Summer when it was reported that their marriage was on the rocks. And we couldn't forget the infamous elevator video that went down when there's a billion dollars in the elevator.   Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose - Not long after tying the knot and giving birt...

CASE OF THE EX-ES: It's looks like these formerly married celebrities have no problem moving on with the quickness. Let's take Wiz Khalifa for instance who has been partying it up with strippers in Vegas and putting it on social media for all to see. Then you have Amber Rose who has been pretty chummy with Nick Cannon despite him being her manager. Mariah Carey threw some shade at Nick Cannon during her recent concert but I didn't catch it. I can't say I'm quite sure if Mariah moved on yet but maybe she has. FEMALE TROUBLE: And if that's not enough for you guys Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj will both release new album on November 24. This reminds me of when Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown dropped their debut albums one week apart in 1996. Times were different then because at the time Kim and Foxy were friends. I guess Iggy and Nicki are friendly but I think more of the animosity is with Nicki. I think she was a little bothered that Iggy was nipping at her heels. Ma...

SOUL SISTERS: Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she wants to work with Tamar Braxton. I'm not sure how I feel about a collab between Jennifer and Tamar then again I don't think I would care either way. Jennifer's new album JHUD debuted at #10 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart. LIKE A TATTOO: Nick Cannon has covered up his huge "MARIAH" tattoo that he once had on his back. On top of that he was seen out with his new rumored girlfriend Amber Rose, who is actually said to be dating KISS singer Gene Simmons' song, Nick Simmons. Sounds messy if you ask me. I think celebrities need to stop tattooing their lovers names on their bodies. It never works out when you do that.  DEEP END : On another note I heard a snippet of Aretha Franklin's cover of Adele's Rolling In The Deep and it sounds atrocious to be honest. She should of left that alone. I mean who could say no to the Queen of Soul covering their song. I'm sure it was an honor to Adele but after ...

TAKE HIM BACK: Ciara has taken Future's ass back after he allegedly cheated on her. She wants their son to have both parents in his life. I understand that but if your not meant to be together, your not meant to be. CANNON BALL RUN: While reports say that Nick Cannon wants a reconciliation with wife Mariah Carey, she on the other hand is proceeding with a divorce. If this is exactly true or not it remains to be seen but Nick Cannon did speak and say a lot of the rumors we've been hearing(maybe including this one) is simply not true. Well you guys are separated right or nah? 

DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS: I know, I know I'm a little late on this story. But Mathew Knowles says his daughter Beyoncé, Solange, and Jay Z fighting in the elevator was all staged. He says the incident was said to help dismal ticket sales and if so it obviously worked. The power couple who have been the butt of divorce rumors seemed to put an end to the rumors at the Video Music Awards . But why would Father Mathew say all of this? I mean judging from the video, the surveillance video that is, things looked pretty real and intense. Mathew Knowles did a radio interview awhile back but I never sat and listened to it, I simply just read excerpts from it. But I'm sure if you want to hear the audio you can to get a more accurate depiction of what he's alleging. CANNON BALL: As if we haven't heard enough about the ugly split between Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey but now their saying Mariah is accusing Nick of being the reason her new album stalled. Mariah claims that Nick woul...

With news of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon separating, Nick Cannon's father has gone on Facebook to air out some of the messy details of his son's marriage. Nick's father laments on Mariah's weight of 200lbs and Nick wanting to have 10 children and her just 2. In Mariah's defense by the time she had her twins she was already up in age. I didn't see her having any more kids. Speaking of kids, Nick's father also said that Mariah had an abortion. I think Mariah said she was pregnant before but she lost the baby. I'm not sure if this is the same pregnancy or a totally different one. I mean that's her business and if she chose to do that then that's on her. Not really my place to judge. And if that's not enough, Mariah Carey has reportedly issued a gag order for Nick. So that means he can't speak of the intimate details of his marriage with Mariah, anymore. I think gag is the perfect word. I mean Nick has already revealed a lot about his relat...
