Hello all! I bring to you another 'music feed'. I truly love doing these. Sometimes though its hard for me to come up with a topic to discuss. Well I finally came up with a topic worth discussing. The fact whether a star is gay or not is always a big topic. Some people say who cares but those are the ones who care just as much. No I don't care about an artist's sexuality. I mean at the end of the day I only care about their music. Since I'm a self-proclaimed music addict, it doesn't matter but its always interesting to inquire or wonder. The aforementioned artists below have been hit with the gay rumors. Now whether or not they are truly gay remains a mystery. Below you will find out exactly how and why these the gay rumors started! Enjoy! Ne-Yo The gay rumors started when an old video leaked out of Ne-Yo sporting an orange wig during a performance at the Apollo Theater. At the time Ne-Yo's stage name was 'Go-Go'. That says a lot huh? Ne-Yo has denie...

Music is not enough these days. You have to conquer the world of dance, film, TV, and more. More and more you see artists expanding their repertoire. They are not just name brands. They are empires.

Jennifer Lopez - Beyonce has cited Jennifer Lopez as one of her main influences....

Music News: Mariah Carey is said to have let go of famous manager Benny Medina. If you know of Medina he has aided the careers of Will Smith and Usher. It is said that Mariah was unhappy with Medina possibly reforming with JLO and her latest album, "E=MC2" only going platinum. "E=MC2" sucked badly and the choice of singles certainly didn't help things. Of course it was granted that this album was not going to be like "TEOM". I was thinking it would be somewhat close given the title and being that Mariah didn't rush release it like the label originally wanted. Pretty Ricky's new album, "80s Babies" has been pushed back to October 14. The album was originally scheduled to drop on September 23. The album is preceded by the singles, "Cuddle Up" featuring Butta Creme and "Knockin Da Boots"(a cover of the H-Town classic). If you ever notice most major label artists don't release an album behind a single if it underpe...
