A few days ago it was reported that singer, Mariah Carey was robbed of 50K(50 thousand) dollars worth of jewelry and purses. I'm thinking her backup dancers are to blame because maybe they are not getting paid enough to be on tour with her. I know Mariah Carey casually hangs out with her backup dancers and even dates them so what makes you think they wouldn't rob her? I'm sure they have been throughout her home on various occasions and have been privy to see many of the lavish items Mariah owns. What makes you think one of those snakes with an axe to grind for whatever reason didn't go upstairs in her room and steal one of her Gucci bags? To top it off they may of wanted it for themselves or they may of stolen it and sold it off and got money for it. You never know but let's hope this is not the case. I'm just baffled that you can go in someones house like Mariah Carey who is one of the richest singers in the world and only make it out of her house with 50K wo...

Drake leads the nominees for the 2016 BET Awards which were just announced yesterday. Drake leads with 9 nominations. Beyoncé has 5 nominations. The BET Awards air next month. Speaking of award shows, The Billboard Music Awards will air this Sunday on ABC. Artists scheduled to perform are Britney Spears, Pink, and Ke$ha. Are their any black performers? But there are black hosts; Ciara and Ludacris. Do you all remember when Ciara and Ludacris read off the nominee list on live TV and Ciara didn't want to read Future's name on the teleprompter? Ha! But your son's name is Future! What's the difference? Speaking of Ludacris, he is back on the set for "Furious 8" which I believe will be released next Summer. It looks like we won't be seeing the first Whitney Houston hologram performance that was set to air on "The Voice" Monday. Whitney's estate had the performance pulled after it leaked online. The performance featured a duet with the show...

Chal is serving the TEA! Hey y'all! I'd like to say this before divulging into my latest post. There are some errors below you might notice in spelling because my spell check didn't wanna work upon posting this. So anyway enjoy my latest 'music feed' and remember to 'get yo life'. So after Beyonce performed Drunk In Love at the Grammys word spread that the singer was lip syncing. Beyonce has yet to speak on the accussations. But this is not the first time Beyonce has been bit by the lip synching bug. Or is it? Read below to find out the singers who were either caught or rumored to be lip synching and the backlash they received upon doing so. Mariah Carey We all know Mariah Carey's live performances are pretty hit and miss these days and one of the reasons is because of the constant rumor that her live performance are lipped. In fact it was while Mimi promoted her single Touch My Body when her backing track started playing before she even put her mi...

| Pink debuted on the scene with 2000 album, "Can't Take Me Home" which was a hybrid of R&B/Pop music. The album was led by single, "There You Go" which was co-written and co-produced by Kandi. For the second single, the Babyface produced, "Most Girls" was released followed by "You Make Me Sick" as the third and final single. "Can't Take Me Home" was executive produced by Babyface and L.A. Reid. Pink displayed a lot of her fiery personality on this album which she is known for today. The album is thoroughly enjoyable. Maybe one of these days Pink may reach back into her R&B roots but given her success as a rocker chick; that's less than likely. Some of my favorite songs on the album are, "Hell With Ya", "Split Personality", the title track, "Private Show", "Let Me Let You Know", and many more. ---------------- Now playing: Maxwell - Fortunate via FoxyTunes

Before Pink rocked out on us; she was a R&B/Pop diva. Hard to believe considering how far she has come in the last 10 years. Her first album; "Can't Take Me Home" was executive produced by Babyface and L.A. Reid. Babyface is responsible for this single here. There's not many singers who can switch up musical styles and still come off convincing. Kudos to Pink!

A day or two ago I posted the new album cover and tracklisting for Eminem's upcoming; "Recover" album in stores June 22. Here, the rapper speaks about his collaborative efforts with the likes of Pink and Rihanna. The collaborations definitely come as a huge surprise to most people myself included. Read more about this as well as stories on Mariah Carey's rumored pregnancy and Drake's upcoming TV appearances! Rapper Eminem has revealed Pink and Rihanna were the only female singers who could ”pull off” certain tracks on his new album. Eminem felt Pink and Rihanna were the perfect addition to his new album.

He said: “When I did the song that I did with Pink I laid my parts first and kind of heard her on the record. I felt like she would smash this record, so I gave her a call and she was with it...

Who could that be? Well you can guess one of them is Tamia by the picture on the right and the accompanying article below. This isn't the first time something like this has been discussed. The thing is will it ever really come to friction. We will have to wait and see. Elsewhere Pink speaks on Beyonce and Angie Stone returns to music. Check it out! Trio Of Singers Form Supergroup! Singers Tamia, Deborah Cox and Kelly Price have united for an upcoming compilation project called 'The Queen Project.' Led by the first single, 'Queen,' the three vocal powerhouses are elated about the opportunity to form this sisterhood in song. 'The Queen Project' is scheduled to be released in early 2010; however no record company affiliation has been announced at this time. The group's first concert together will be in New York City during the Circle of Sisters expo on Oct. 10. Like I said above we will just have to wait, see, and hear if this comes to friction. After all i...

Marques Houston appeared on BET's "106 & Park" earlier this week and he mentioned that his new album, "Mr Houston" in stores September 29 will feature a DVD with a video to every song on the album similar to what Beyonce did with "B'Day". For some odd reason Marques forgot Beyonce did it and thinks he's the first one to do it but he is not. Anyway here is a video for the song, "Date" which will appear on the new album. Check it out! ---------------- Now playing: Let Me Let You Know- Pink via FoxyTunes

Trey Songz talks about his new album, "Ready" and what we can look forward to from him later this year. I'm really feeling "I Need A Girl" right now and I am looking forward to Trey's album. Music Biz: Pink Lashes Out On Kanye West! While others may hold their tongues in the presence of greatness, Pink is making her thoughts about Kanye West perfectly clear.The fur reportedly flew when Pink attended Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Kanye. “The entire time Kanye is going, ‘They need more fur in this show,’” Pink told Britain’s The Sun. “He just wouldn’t shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy, and Paul McCartney!”The “So What” singer is an avid PETA supporter and didn’t hold back her feelings about the fashionable rapper. “Kanye West is the person pissing me off right now,” she said. “I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re a...

I'm not a big fan of Christina Aguilera's. I think she oversings but I do like a few songs. While planning another music feed(which you all will see later), I thought about Christina Aguilera and all her feuds she has had throughout the years. I had to go back and make sure I didn't do one on her before. It turns out that I did include one of her feuds in a "Famous Feuds" post I did awhile ago. Like many celebs, Christina Aguilera has had her share of famous feuds. The information provided below is to the best of my knowledge. I may be missing a few key things but you'll get the point. Below you can check out her list of adversaries. Enjoy! Pink - I can't exactly pinpoint how Pink and Christina started feuding. I do remember reading stories about both stars poking fun at one another during solo performances of "Lady Marmalade". Kelly Osbourne - Not one to bite her tongue(much like Christina), these two headstrong personalities clashed moreso ov...

With November around the corner, more and more music releases are coming! It is always an exciting time because I always want new music. I haven't been too thrilled for the new Ludacris music but here is his new album cover nonetheless. Ludacris' new album will be in stores November 25. Audio: Mario - Inside Of You Seductive slow jam from Mario. It's hard for me to understand what he is saying though. So many tracks have leaked from Mario lately but he says they won't appear on his upcoming album due 2009.
