New Music: T.I. ft Andre 3000 - "Sorry"

Strike a match. He's back.

Thank you, T.I. for bringing Andre 3000 up for air! 

 I really enjoy when an artist clearly declares their personal thoughts and experiences and I must say these two have certainly laid out their grievances and then some. 

"Sorry" sounds like an open letter describing the unexpected reality of having to leave some behind in the balance while obtaining personal success. Basically, another message to his haters.

Shock Alert: 3 Stacks sort of apologizes to Big Boi, revealing his discomfort with touring and the pressures that came along with being OutKast. Talk about insight.

Overall, I'm digging it! 

Take a listen below!

#NotHappeningInTheStates: Girl Scares People By Standing In Elevator

So rude!

A Brazilian TV show scored one of the funniest/evil pranks I've ever seen. It's brilliant, yet, I'm not sure recreating it here in the U.S. would be such a great idea. I would hate for a little girl to get KO'ed over a joke. Just saying....

Anywho, it's a funny video and worth a peek!

Am I right? Comment below!

New Music: 50 Cent ft. Eminem + Adam Levine - "My Life"

It's Fifty!

Curtis Jackson has returned and this time he brought some buddies along! 

"My Life" is a mid term, contemplative track in which the successful entrepreneur offers insight into his journey in life thus far. The chorus boasts Maroon 5 crooner, Adam Levine, who is singing his heart out  about the trial and tribulations of his life. Eminem lends support with an equally emo(tional) verse. Put all these elements together and it sounds like one big whine fest if you ask me.

Methinks, die-hard 50 fans will 'get it', and probably love it. In that case, this is for you!

Check out "My Life" below:

#TheQuench: Beyonce To Direct HBO Documentary On Herself + Shares New Blue Ivy Pic

She's back....

Beyonce' will headline the 2013 Super Bowl Half-Time Show

Yea right, like she'll ever really leave us. 

Music Heroine, Beyonce', has confirmed involvement in an HBO Special documentary on...well...herself! According to Urban Entertainment Report, Mrs. Carter will reveal footage shot on her laptop, as well as, personal home video clips of her tight knit circle. The documentary will air in 2013.

Oh joy!

Bey has made strides in letting up on that kung pao grip she's had on her image for so long. Much of the new information has been lackluster, except for the limited sightings of Baby Blue Ivy! (See below) but nonetheless, it is refreshing to see a different side of the international diva.

#Creepy: Google Maps Now For Indoors

Big Brother is Watching You!

Well, not really. But Google Maps has introduced over 10,000 indoor floor plans for malls, museums, airports, stores and casinos (Is that smart?)

ANYONE can donate their floor plans to be included in the search. I can absolutely see how this would come in handy, but I sure hope it stops here. I mean, what will happen to all the directories?

#TheQuench: Lil Wayne Says 'Tha Carter V' Is Last Album

Lil Wayne is tired of rapping.

Well, he didn't actually say that. But he did recently sit down with MTV correspondent, Sway Calloway, to discuss his upcoming album, "I Am Not A Human Being II," and why his rap career halts with "Tha Carter V":

"When I love to do something, I'm fully focused on it and it only. And music sometimes is not that 'it'. " 

"I signed my contract at 11, I went platinum at 14. I'm 30 now. Thank God I haven't put out an album that hasn't went platinum," he said. "To just keep it goin' like that, I think not only am I being greedy, I'm fooling myself to think that it will continue to be that great."

Pretty good reasons.

No fear, Wayne has his hands in other ventures like his clothing company, TrukFit, and obvious love for skateboarding. Plus, there is no expected date for 'Tha Carter V,' so who knows how much more Tunechi we get to hear.

"I Am Not A Human Being II" is in stores on February 19.

Check out the lead single "No Worries" ft. Detail below:

Yellow Light Set To Trap Motorists During Holiday Weekend

Watch out!

Tis the season for the government to get paid! As you're out and about running errands and such, be careful when approaching intersections. Word is, many cities have shortened the yellow lights in an attempt catch unsuspecting motorists in a ticket trap. According to National Journal, 21 cities in New Jersey were ordered by their transportation departments to suspend use of the red-light cameras because the timing was below the state law minimum.

How fresh!

Furthermore,

“Cities and for-profit camera companies maximize revenue by setting yellow-light times that are too short,” said National Motorists Association President Gary Biller. “It is a violation of the public trust, and it jeopardizes motorist, cyclist, and pedestrian safety.”

Shady McShadykens please take a bow.

 And get this, Biller also states that a single SECOND has been proven to decrease the chances of a collision at an intersection by 40%. A single second.

Bottom line: Exercise increased caution this holiday season. Not only for the sake of your life, but now, your pockets too.

Take a look at the article in its entirety below. Definetely worth a read.

#SayItAintSo: IRS To Garnish Nas' Concert Wages

Dang homie.

SMH. The Man is not playing with Nas! 

Life isn't all that good right now for Crown Heights rapper Nas. The Georgia Department of Revenue has been given the green light to collect one million dollars worth of earnings from his curent Live Nation tour to satisfy an outstanding debt:

The Georgia Department of Revenue has filed new legal docs in their effort to collect $1,083,435 from the rapper for taxes it claims Nas owes for the years 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010.  

According to court docs, the GDR obtained an order commanding Live Nation -- the promo company behind Nas' tour with Lauryn Hill -- to garnish his wages until the dept is satisfied. 

Yikes!

Kevin Clash Resigns as Elmo + Second Accuser Comes Forward

damn, Damn, DAMN!!!

This has gotten out of hand! 

Sooo, remember the reports that Kevin Clash had been accused by a former Sesame Street workshop attendee of an inappropriate relationship. Well, Clash denied, denied, denied, and the young man recanted his statement so we all thought this entire mess was over. Right?

WRONG.

Now, yet another man has come forward (Probably after getting wind that the first accuser was paid off for his recant) to accuse the puppeteer of an inappropriate relationship between the two....when he was 15 years old!

Super wrong. 

The details of this story are all jacked up. They include gay chat lines, payments for sex, children!

Just messssyyy. Well, the pressure has caused Mr. Clash to resign from the voice of Elmo:

 "Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing, and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."

SMH. This pretty much speaks for itself. We won't really ever know the entire story. I'm just annoyed that this has to be news. And I'm really annoyed that the driving force behind these accusations appear to be money and fame. Hope its worth it.

#TheQuench: President Obama To Be Added To Mt. Rushmore

Woohoo!

The National Park Service formally announced that President Barack Obama's  face will be added to the historical Mount Rushmore in South Dakota! The modification is due September 2018.

The project aims to involve several hundred miners and engineers (Obama putting people back to work!) and will utilize state of the art machinery and green solvents to re-create Obama's bust in the area adjacent to the George Washington visage. 

Sculptor Irving Gneus, who is overseeing the project for the Park Service, hinted at what Americans should expect as the final result, saying, "The intent was to have Obama facing the same direction as Lincoln, given the milestones in race relations that their Presidencies represent."

What a great way to kick off a new term!

#InCaseYouWereWondering: Facebook Explains The Four Ways It Sorts The News Feed

:::Side Eye:::

Finally!

It's no secret that we've all noticed the major changes to Facebook since it's inception in 2004. One of the biggest reactions from users dealt directly with the redesign of the news feeds, which received a slew of complaints. Mainly, because each users audience appeared to drastically diminish after the change. Will Cathcart, the company's news feed product manager, took the time to explain exactly how your post's visibility is determined:  

1. If you interacted with an author’s posts before: If you Like every post by a Page that Facebook shows you, it will show you more from that Page.

 2. Other people’s reactions to a specific post: If everyone else on Facebook shown a post ignores it or complains, it’s less likely to show you that post.

3. Your interaction with posts of the same type in the past: If you always Like photos, there’s a better chance you’ll see a photo posted by a Page.

4. If that specific post has received complaints by other users who have seen it, or the Page who posted it has received lots complaints in the past, you’ll be less likely to see that post. This factor became a lot more prevalent starting in September 2012.

Well, I feel more informed. I still don't see posts from friends that I'd like to (and too many from those I could care less about) but I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles. ::Kanye shrug::

How long have you been on Facebook? Do you like the new changes? Why or Why not?

#TheQuench: 'Glee' Star Amber Riley Shines Off Broadway

Mercedes is all growed up!

ET Online/Jarett Wieselman

Life does continue after "Glee" and Amber Riley is proof!

This starlet is receiving rave reviews for her outstanding performance in the off  Broadway show, "Cotton Club Parade" which wrapped up last night in New York City. The show celebrates the music of Duke Ellington and his influence on the Harlem nightclub. After a spectacular opening night, she sat down with ET Online to dish on the show and what's next:

ETonline: Why did you want to be a part of this production?
Riley: First, having Wynton Marsalis' [musical director] name attached to it and getting the opportunity to meet him was number one. I am obsessed with The Cotton Club era, Duke Ellington's music and everything that happened there. Dianna [Agron] actually got me a record player for my birthday, and all I listen to it is Duke Ellington, Lena Waters, Lena Horn and Dorothy Dandridge. All those wonderful singers. I'm just obsessed with that era – even the costumes, it was such a glamorous time.

ETonline: How does this compare to the Glee tour?

Riley: It's almost the same thing. Once you're out there, there's no "cut!" The tour was on a larger scale, but I've never danced as hard as I do in this. I break it down a little bit. People are going to be really surprised. I heard people in the audience go, "Oh?!?" It was hilarious.

ETonline: Is that the goal with this next phase of your career; to show them there's more to you than just Mercedes?

Riley: Yeah. I loved playing Mercedes on Glee; she's a fun character to play and I got to sing the diva songs, but I get to play an adult here. Even though I'm just singing in Cotton Club, I'm also acting in it. There's a story with my character. I feel completely different from Mercedes when I'm doing this. I feel like a woman and it's amazing. 

I'm lovin' this girl! I hope that she continues to shine and reach new heights in her career. As usual, I shall be standing by.

New Music: Ne-Yo Strikes Again With Fourth #1 Album

Do it. Do it.

The leader of the Gentlemen has done it again!  Congratulations to R&B crooner, Ne-Yo, for scoring yet another number one album!

That makes 4 to be exact.

Though the current top selling song is the dance hit "Let Me Love You," one of the more popular tracks is his duet with country star, Tim McGraw, entitled, "She Is." Ne-Yo may very well have a future in country music and he's definitely testing the waters with this one..... 

And since I just finished watching "Oprah's Favorite Things" I have a surprise. Check out the track below.

You get a listen! You get a listen! You get a listen!

#TechJuice: New Gadget Lets You Feed Your Pet From A Smartphone

Interesting...

Did you know that over 50% of the nation's pets are obese?

This little doohickey is pretty darn handy. I have friends with pets who complain about not being able to feed their furry friends during the day while they work. Well, now they have an answer!

Once connected to the wireless network in your home, you can activate the feeder from anywhere using a mobile app. Feedings can also be automated. The Pintofeed is capable of programming itself, and creating a personalized feeding schedule for you and your furry friend.

If you have more than one furball at home, you can control several Pintofeeds from the same account. Multiple users can also be given access to the same Pintofeeds, ensuring that Fido gets fed even if Mom is out of town.

Once your pet has been fed, you can choose to be notified via SMS, Twitter or even Facebook. 

I smell a perfect holiday gift! These lil buggers are still in the prototype phase, but if its up your alley, you can donate to the cause at Indiegogo.

Coca-Cola Vending Machine Gives Free Coke For Dancing

If its Free. It's For Me.

A Coca-Cola vending machine in South Korea has folks dropping it like it's hot! The (awesome) experiment gets those passing by to dance along to the moves of Korean's popular boy band, 2PM, in return for a free Coke.

Thanks to Microsoft Kinect technology, the machine registers what the dancers do — and the more moves they copy correctly, the more Cokes the machine doles out.

How cool is this??!!

You may ask yourself, "Why don't we have this in the states?" Because people like me would dance up, down and around that machine. Picture me walking away from it all, wiping away the sweat from my brow, holding a free 12 pack of Coke. (Trifling) Complete shutdown. Courtesy of yours truly.

Check out footage of this mini dance revolution below:

New Music: Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne "ICE"

Yaaaassss!

Ms. Rowland is feeding the kids and then some!

Whew!

The former Destiny Child's member has teamed back up with local weirdo, Lil Wayne, for another sexy song. This time, she's crooning about ice and all the excitement that comes from using it in creative ways. It's not "Motivation," but the song is solid and the visuals are stunning! Kelly looks amazing and holds her own despite Wayne's absence from the video.

Watch "ICE" below:

#TheQuench: Why Washington is Mad - Gen. Petreus + Paula Broadwell Scandal

Shame.

(ISAF via Reuters)

This entire ordeal is a mess! In case you're wondering what's with all the hoopla, here we go:

Basically, Congress, and much of Washington are pissed at current CIA Director, General David Petreus. Well, last year, Petreus and Paula Broadwell, the author of his biography, were having an affair. Sending "flirty" emails back and forth. Bla bla bla. Not such a big deal right? Well, Ms. Broadwell apparently got super comfortable and developed diarrhea of the mouth, divulging top secret information during lectures and declaring the General her source! How fresh!

Members of Congress are upset because they found out about the FBI's investigation into the matter like the rest of us. The FBI is saying they have specific protocols in place that restrict the release of information And even the White House had no idea until the day after the election. (Supposedly.)

SMH. The General has stepped down from his position and Broadwell has gone into recluse. And now, Yahoo News reports that another high ranking general, the Commander of Armed Forces in Afghanistan to be exact, has been exchanging illicit emails with a random.

And the topic of the month is, "Why do powerful men cheat?"

Lol. Huh?

Since when does cheating have a face? Let alone a tax bracket....

Anywho, this is is an old story with a new face. Do you think the high level of attention is justified? Do you even care?

#HollywoodJuice: Nick Cannon's "Wild N Out" to Return to TV

Want more Nick Cannon?

The moment few of you have been waiting for has finally arrived! Nick Cannon recently confirmed that after a significant hiatus, his hit show "Wild 'N Out" will return to MTV2 for another season! Nick says:

"I get asked everyday when Wild 'N Out will be back," Cannon said. "I'm thrilled to announce that the show will be making its long-awaited return very soon -- bigger and better. With our show's original cast, everyone from Kevin Hart to Katt Williams,Affion Crockett and Taran Killam becoming household names, I am looking forward to working with MTV2 as we work to introduce the biggest comedic stars of tomorrow with the return of Wild 'N Out."

I'll be honest, I completely forgot that we were introduced to some the really funny comedians through that show. And actually, I'm kinda looking foward to seeing who will be next to hold the "funny man" torch.

SIDEBAR: I wonder if Cannon has his hands in any of the moolah Kevin Hart is currently raking in. That lil guy is selling out arenas left and right on his "Laugh At My Pain" comedy tour. Hhhmmm.....

#TheQuench: Nicki Minaj Opens Up About Mariah Carey Feud + Calls Out Barbara Walters

Ahhh yessss...

Ms. Minaj has relaxed, related, and released by finally addressing feud rumors between she and her American Idol co-host, Mariah Carey. On the latest episode of her new E! reality show, "My Truth" she speaks candidly about the beef, its players, and even blasts Barbara Walters for her involvement!

In summation, The Pink Pop Diva declares that what the cameras did not film was Mariah incessantly antagonizing her minutes before the now infamous argument between the two took place. Long story short, Nicki cracks and storms off to prevent any further escalation. Soo, she keeps quiet on it thinking the whole mess will blow over quickly. But alas! Somehow, Barbara Walters gets wind and proceeds to goes on record stating that Nicki threatened MC with a gun and that she is "unpredictable." To that Nicki says directly to the show cameras:

"Am I not good enough for you to get my side, because I'm a little black girl that raps?" she said, addressing Walters directly. "Because if I was J. Lo, you would've called J. Lo's camp. But are we not good enough for you Barbara? 'Cause you wasn't even there when I was on the show Barbara. So I guess I'm not good enough but I'm only good enough for you to tell people I'm 'unpredictable,' when you don't f-----g know me?"

Oh wow! Going in are we? And bringing race into the matter? Ooooowee! I sure do hope Ms. Walters responds. I shall be standing by.

Do you think Minaj had a point or was she being dramatic?

#SayItAintSo: Voice of Elmo On Leave After Denying Relationship W/ Teen

 Double You. Tee. Eff.

Now this....this breaks my heart!

Kevin Clash, the voice behind one of America's most lovable children's characters, is currently fending off allegations that he engaged in inappropriate behavior with a teenage male while working at the Sesame Street Workshops. 

In June, the workshop heard from a 23-year-old man who claimed that he had "a relationship" with Clash beginning when he was 16 years old, the workshop said in a written statement.

The statement did not use the word "sexual."

"We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action. We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation. We also conducted a thorough investigation and found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. Although this was a personal relationship unrelated to the workplace, our investigation did reveal that Kevin exercised poor judgment and violated company policy regarding internet usage and he was disciplined," the Sesame Street Workshop statement said.

"Kevin insists that the allegation of underage conduct is false and defamatory and he is taking actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so.

Ay yi yi! Of course, Mr. Clash's absence won't keep Elmo from appearing in current or future Sesame Street airings. (Thank Goodness!)  But whether these allegations are true or not, this is still sad.

New Music: Rihanna - "Lost In Paradise"

NUNU from RIRI!!

The second single from the smokin' Bajan beauty has been released for our listening pleasure! First impression: There's this really heavy emo feel to it, but I will say, Rih has most certainly stepped up her game in the vocal department. Yea, I said it.  Props to her.

SIDEBAR: I've noticed that many artists have come to their senses about using pre-recorded tracks during live performances and its pretty darn refreshing! Ms. Fenty performed "Stay," an additional song from her upcoming album, "Unapologetic,"on SNL last week. Watch below the 'Lost In Paradise' track.

Anywho, what do you think? Yay or Nay?

Take a listen below!

 

"Stay" Live on Saturday Night Live

 

Watch: The Roots, Cristina Aguilera, & Jimmy Fallon Perform 'My Body' Using Office Supplies

This is classic creativity and soooooo up my alley!

Using nothing but office supplies as instruments, The Roots accompany Xtina in an acoustic version of her song 'My Body.' She sounds great, the band sounds sick, (in a good way, duh) considering they're tearing sheets of paper and clicking away at staplers to keep a beat. And LOL @ Jimmy Fallon with the cell phone dial up melody.

Reminds me of a magnificent Wood Block solo I had (and dominated) at States while in High School orchestra. Ha!
