Chapter Forty One: Preview Ciara's "Fantasy Ride"

Judging from the preview its very sensual and she definitely has matured with a more grown sound....on "Fantasy Ride" she collabs with Justin Timberlake on the hot Love, Sex, Magic. Appearances also with Chris Brown on "Turntables", Ludacris with "High Price", Missy Elliot on "Work", Young Jeezy on "Never Ever" and The-Dream on "Lovers Thing" which I love, the remaining of the album she holds her own with production with Danja, Polow Da Don and others. I will surely be purchasing because I love Ciara....as a whole its sounds pretty solid.....Preview here *Update* I LOVE the artwork Kudos Ci Ci

Scene Four: Infamous Drizzy Drake freestyle on Funkkmaster Flex

Just so you guys can get the visual to that infamous Drake freestyle that has the whole city tallking. Drake is cool, really laid back and from his interviews he likes to get dressed but is not a hipster (meaning he doesn't live just to buy clothes). But this is clothesthecurtains.com so we will hit you with some fly clothes in a minute, stay tuned.

Scene Three: Do You think Miss California should've won?

This story has been getting a lot of media attention, i wanted to weigh in on it and ask you (our readers) your honest opinion. I think that the answer Miss California gave was a great answer and a moral answer. She stood up for what she believed in and how she was raised morally. I know they were probably expecting a more 21st Century or Political answer, instead she spoke from the heart. I don't think she should be penalized for this. It's like we all know the truth, and people are scared to say what they feel and stand up for what they believe in any more. Everyone who is a "so called" Christian, knows that it is NOT OK for two people of the same sex to wed. On the contrary it is also not OK for you to hate another person regardless if they are gay or not. With that being said, I think that Miss California gave a very good answer to this question. Perez Hilton needs to get over it and move on!

What do you think? Should Miss California have been eleminated because of her answer???

Scene Two: Battle of the Divas...Fantasia v.s. Jennifer Hudson

For Hip Hop News & Entertainment at DimeWars.Com

Scene Three: President Barack Obama is in TRINIDAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is where my family is from, I love that place most of my mothers family and friends are from there thats a HUGE deal :). It was business also of course:

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago (CNN) -- President Obama said Friday he is seeking "a new beginning" in U.S. relations with Cuba.
Before addressing the representatives of 34 countries at the Summit of the Americas, Obama and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez saw each other and shook hands.
"Every one of our nations has a right to follow its own path," Obama told the assembly. "But we all have a responsibility to see that the people of the Americas have the ability to pursue their own dreams in democratic societies.
"Toward that end, the United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba."
Obama arrived in Trinidad and Tobago on Friday evening for the Summit of the Americas, a key meeting of hemispheric powers. Although it was not represented at the talks, the subject of Cuba dominated the president's speech.
In prepared remarks, Obama said that "decades of mistrust" must be overcome, but noted that he has already loosened restrictions that limited Americans from traveling to visit relatives in Cuba and from sending money to them.
Obama lifted all restrictions Monday on the ability of individuals to visit relatives in Cuba, as well as to send them remittances.
That may be just the beginning. "I am prepared to have my administration engage with the Cuban government on a wide range of issues -- from human rights, free speech and democratic reform to drugs, migration and economic issues," he said.

Scene Two: New Steven Sprouse for Louis Vuitton

Since everyone is going crazy over The Steven Sprouse Graffiti collection here are the new Sunglasses...it'll set you back about $560...I had to post this ad up with designer Marc Jacobs because the shoes the model had on I saw this girl in a party with those *blank ass stare* on....they looked so tacky sorry just being honest Gezzzzzussssss I do like the spandex/tights tho....some things just look better on the mannequin/model

Scene One: This is the Official Video.....Electrik Red feat Weezy also Album Cover

Pay close attention and you'll see the lil differences....I love that these girls they are filled to capacity with personality and sex appeal. Some people are taken aback by their harsh lyrics (not me, Im a Avid Cusser) I love it....Me and my bro love these girls, so does my girls we love em their music is def reflective of popness of The Mary Jane Girls and fused with the raunchiness of Vanity 6 and The world domination of The Spice Girls *sick COMBO* .They are def a breath of fresh air so far every song I have heard have been beyond amazing check out the new edits peeps....ENJOY BISHESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! The album How To Be A Lady volume 1. is out next month and I cant wait Geeshhhhhhhhh

Scene Five: Danger (she smashed the homies) talks about being a former prostitute and her and Ray J's love child

Sounds like she had a deeper story than all of us had thought. Despite all the drama with this chick, i still feel some COmpAsSIoN for her. For someone to begin prostituting they're either really lazy or really have no where else to turn. Danger, i hope you finally have your life in tact now.

P.S. Don't smash any more of the homies!

sCENE fOuR: YSL 2009 SPRING COLLECTION

Scene Three: Tasteful or Trashy? Amber Rose poses for new Ye Louis Vuitton Release

Did you guys find this promo shot of Amber Rose tasteful or trashy?? I think it was done tastefully. A lot of magazine's have started a trend of getting artist nude but doing it in creative ways as opposed to them being Playboy bunnies, etc. Louis Vuitton has now picked up this habit, in it's latest AD to promote Kanye West's new Louis Vuitton shoe. Which, by the way, comes outnext week. The new Kanye Louis' will cost double the amount of the Air Yeezy's which made a great debut last week and also has the industry buzzing. Ye is on a roll two major sneaker deals back to back, gotta love it!

What do you think tasteful or trashy??

Scene Two: Ladies Ladies Ladies....USHER

STILL WAITING ON THE RETURN....LOVE YOU USHER SO SEXY

Scene One: Slight Rewind > Drake feat Trey Songz> Replacement Girl

I dont understand why Drake hasnt released a single video for any of the songs from his mixtape So Far Gone, which I listen to religously daily lol so much contenders for an online single such as "Best I ever Had", "HoustonAtlantaVegas", "Successful", and everyones favorite "Brand New". To date he has only two videos of him online which includes Young Money's "Every Girl" and todays Slight rewind "Replacement Girl" with Trey I love this song and Drake showcased his flow which was and still is ahead of his time. In my opinion as far as new, young artist coming out Drake is ahead of the rest sorry Kid Cudi fans but lyrics wise he cant f*ck with Drizzy Drake Rogers check out the vid below

*UPDATED* Kanye West's Response:
SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!

Chapter Thirty Six: "Observe And Report" Rated R Trailer

I so have to F*cking see this Seth Rogen + Anna Farris= Incredible on a whole nother level.....jus the trailer had me dying cant wait till it comes out....check it out I'm sure you'll be laughing

InterMisSION:Electrik Red ft Lil Wayne "Soo GOOD"

Video is cool, I like the song and of course everyone has to use Mr. CaRTER to broaden their fan base. Overall i give it 7.5/10.Didn't like the fact that they refer to themselves as b*tches in the song. I think thats the problem with some female entertainers nowadays, they surcome to what others want them to say. They are in a position that should be empowering other females, not calling themselves "b*tches". Asides from that little line, the video and song were good for me.

What do you guys think, am i being to hard on it??
