| THIS IS THE REMIX: Miguel's "Adorn (Remix)" FT. Wiz Khalifa Posted: 04 Sep 2012 09:32 AM PDT Singer Miguel just released a remix to his hit single "Adorn." And he tapped rapper Wiz Khalifa to drop a few bars on the track. Check it inside, plus Miguel's upcoming tour dates... Because we still have this song on repeat, we're loving that Miguel went and remixed it with Wiz Khalifa. On the "Adorn (Remix)", Wiz adds his thoughts about love and how he gives the world to that special woman in his life. And we all know who that is. "Adorn" appears on Miguel's forth coming album KALEIDOSCOPE DREAMS, which is due out October 2nd. The album is being released in three parts -- the Water Preview EP that is already out, and the Air Preview EP comes out on September 11. By the way, the singer also just kicked off a 9-city tour starting in London. See the full list of dates below: 9/2 Jazz Cafe London, UK  |
| IT'S OFFICIAL: Michael Strahan Makes His "LIVE! With Kelly & Michael" Debut Posted: 04 Sep 2012 08:48 AM PDT Today, "Live!" morning show host Kelly Ripa finally got her permanent co-host. And, just as rumors predicted, it's former Superbowl Champ & Pro-Bowler Michael Strahan!
Deets on his debut today inside... Congrats are in order for Michael Strahan! The 40-year-old retired NFLer turned tv personality made his official debut as the permanent co-host to Kelly Ripa today. He was revealed with a dramatic introduction this morning, and he told the audience this was more than a dream come true. The show has been renamed to "Live! with Kelly & Michael." And interestingly, the producers played a clip this morning showing Michael as a guest several years ago when he joked with then co-hosts Regis Philbin & Kelly that he wanted to take Regis' seat one day. Talk about foreshadowing! The fiance to Nicole Murphy seemed to be extra comfortable in his new position and did a fabulous job for his premiere. It helps he also guest hosted umpteen times before this formal announcement. By the way, Michael has 4 kids of his own, so we're sure to get some funny personal stories each morning. Congrats Michael!  |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 07:58 AM PDT It's been revealed that late actor Michael Clarke Duncan was secretly engaged to reality tv star Omarosa Manigault at the time of his death. Details inside. Yesterday, news surfaced about the death of "gentle giant" Academy Award nominee, Michael Clarke Duncan. And now it's been revealed that he and girlfriend Omarosa Manigault had recently begun making wedding plans. Sources close to the couple revealed to TMZ that a wedding was planned for January and the couple had decided to keep all the details a secret from the media. The couple had just started planning the nuptials around the same time Michael had a heart attack in July. Sources also revealed that Omarosa camped by Michael's side during his hospital stay and the actor passed away during the short period she wasn't in the room by his side, because she had just traveled to Charlotte, NC for the Democratic National Convention. She's pictured above arriving back at LAX yesterday morning in tears. Omarosa's mother was in the hospital room when Michael passed. Reports also say Omarosa had flown in experts from all over the world to help Michael with his health challenge and she's absolutely devastated by these events. Sad news indeed.  |
| Nicki Minaj Says She's Voting For MITT ROMNEY On "Mercy (Remix)"....Just Verses Or Real Talk? Posted: 04 Sep 2012 07:23 AM PDT
In her new verse on Lil Wayne's "Mercy (Remix)" just released off his new Dedication 4 mixtape, Nicki Minaj is ruffling some feathers by firing a political shot. Check out why she claims to be a Republican who is voting for Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.... Lil Wayne dropped his Dedication 4 mixtape yesterday. And a track he and Nicki are rapping on over Kanye West's "Mercy" beat is causing some ruckus. Nicki alludes to Democrats being lazy and messing up the economy, and says she's voting for Mitt Romney:
It's no secret that the Republican "trickle down" economic platform indeed helps the rich (like Nicki & anyone else making over $1 mill a year) stay rich and get richer. But there are plenty of rich folks...including those far wealthier and far less lazy than Nicki...who believe core values like women's rights, universal health care, relieving taxes on those who are just making it, and simply giving two sh*ts about the other 99%, are all more important than their own cash. And they call themselves Democrats. If her rap flow didn't sound like an animated elementary school character...we may not have had to wonder if she was serious or not about not knowing which political party landed us in this predicament in the first place. But we have to ask the question...
Just verses....or real talk?  |
| HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY BEYONCÉ! (Plus, The Birthday Card Messages From Her Friends & Fam!) Posted: 04 Sep 2012 06:48 AM PDT One of the most FAB chicks in the game turns 31 today. Beyoncé Knowles may be keeping it low key for her birthday, but when you've got a career that's still going, one of the most powerful men in hip hop as your husband, and a new baby to boot...it's safe to say many of your wishes have already come true.
Check out the birthday card Bey's friends and family signed, plus her cutest mommy moments inside... Beyonce's spent most of 2012 adjusting to new mommyhood as her & Mr. Carter's new baby girl, Blue Ivy, arrived at the top of the year. So she's toned down her total glammed out look a bit (and looks fresh faced and fab like in her new Tumblr pic above), continues living life, is having fun and is simply doing her. And even took some time to rock a hot comeback concert weekend in Atlantic City. Her 31st year is rumored to be doused with upcoming new music, a new tour and big appearances. And she'll still be rocking those mommy, wife, sister and daughter hats effortlessly. Bey's close friends and fam took over her website Beyonce.com and posted hand-written birthday messages for her. Check out what Chris & Gwyneth, Mama Tina, Michelle Williams, Julez, mother-in-law Gloria Carter, Angie Beyince and more had to say: Sweet! Happy Birthday Bey!  |
| IT'S OFFICIAL: Terrence J. Is New Co-Host Of E! News Posted: 04 Sep 2012 05:33 AM PDT Congrats are in order for "106 & Park" host Terrence J. His new gig over at E! News just became official! Deets inside...
As his time at BET's "106 & Park" video countdown show comes to an end, E! News & Mr. Jenkins himself have announced his next move. And the actor/tv personality will become Giuliana Rancic's newest co-host. In a statement posted on E! Online, Terrence says it's the perfect opportunity, and we agree:
TJ guest co-hosted one night of E! News back in May right after the announcement that he and "106" co-host Rocsi Diaz would be exiting BET. And most figured then that it was a prelude to a possible new job. And indeed it was. Terrence has had a hell of a summer still reeling off the success of his starring role in the hit Think Like A Man flick (which was recently green lit for a sequel), his recent role in Sparkle, and vacaying in Paris & Rome with model girlfriend Selita Ebanks--all while shooting a new movie in France. Not mad at that. Congrats Terrence!  |
