| Ne-Yo Wants BETTER Music, Says Lady Gaga ISN'T An ICON + Miguel Performs "Adorn" On LETTERMAN Posted: 10 Oct 2012 09:52 AM PDT R&B artist turned music exec Ne-Yo blasted some of today's pop acts, like Lady Gaga, saying they won't stand the test of time. Get the deets on his statement inside and watch Miguel on "Late Show." Ne-Yo, the new Senior Vice President of A&R at Motown Records, says today's artists don't have what it takes to become icons like the Motown legends. And that includes Lady Gaga, who everyone was touting as the next big legend. He told the Daily Star,
Ne-Yo, who'll soon drop his R.E.D. album, hopes to change all that in his new gig at Motown. He said,
Well tell em how you feel Ne-Yo.
Also in music...... Miguel stopped by “The Late Show with David Letterman” last night to perform his hit "Adorn." The song helped his Kaleidoscope Dream disc push 69,000 units its first week, putting him at #3 on the Billboard 200. Miguel hits the road with Elle Varner and Trey Songz for the “Chapter V World Tour” on November 17th.  |

| SHE'S OUT: Beyonce Drops Out Of Clint Eastwood's "A Star Is Born" Posted: 09 Oct 2012 08:33 PM PDT Clint Eastwood's A Star Is Born remake is off to a shaky start....if it starts at all. For over a year now, Beyonce has been in talks to have one of the lead female roles (originally played by Barbara Streisand) in the flick. But Mrs. Knowles Carter has just taken her cards out the game.
Deets inside... Warner Brothers--the studio housing the flick--has yet to give a statement on why Beyonce pulled out of the movie. But sources say it's due to her heavily packed schedule for this year. And she would be stretching herself far too think taking on such a major role. She's working on her new album, tending to her 10-month-old daughter, and has plenty of performances and another tour rumored to be lined up. No word on if Clint's vocal support for Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney (while Bey is hardcore supporting Obama) had anything to do with the decision. But plenty of folks believe it could. Esperanza Spaulding is now in talks to fill the role, but there's also no male lead lined up. According to Variety:
This would be the umpteenth remake of this film. So is it really necessary? Time will tell....

| Posted: 09 Oct 2012 12:47 PM PDT Cassie's been rocking a fat diamond ring on her ring finger for several months now, even tweeting out a picture of the sparkler itself at one point. And even though the internet streets have already unofficially confirmed that Diddy & Cassie are engaged, Diddy's first baby moms, Misa Hylton, gave an indirect confirmation today as well.
Deets inside...
Misa Hylton interviewed with the Power 99 crew today and gave some interesting insight into raising her own son, Justin Combs, and how she feels about Diddy & Cassie's journey to the altar. The host asked "Are you affected by the fact that Diddy's MARRYING Cassie." Misa didn't clear up the word "marry," and simply answered the question. Did she miss the word marry...or are the twosome actually getting married and Misa thought it was already a known fact? Hmmm.... Here's the highlights: On whether she's affected by Diddy MARRYING Cassie "No I love Cassie. I like Cassie for him. She's a very nice girl. She's talented she's beautiful and she's really nice to him and to my son. And that's all I can ask for." On raising a great son, Justin "I raised him in the same way I was raised. Yes, his dad is very successful and I always wanted Justin to not be an entitled kid and to work hard. my hard work has paid off because he did receive a scholarship, he currently has a 4.0 GPA at UCLA and he's excelling. He's a great kid and a humble kid." On being pissy about the scrutiny of Justin's scholarship "Of course. I'm a mother. I was ready to fight, I'm not gonna lie, everybody. It comes with the territory and we're always under scrutiny. Opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one. I wanted to protect my son. I wanted him to feel proud about his accomplishments. It's very important that he understands that he deserves what he earns from his own hard work. His father works hard and earned everything he has, and Justin has to do the same thing. My main concern is how he felt about it and he's fine because he's got two great parents that have his back." On why she is friends with Diddy's other baby mamas "[Diddy & I] are not together anymore and [his other kids] are my son's siblings. It's important for him to have a relationship with them. And for me to have a relationship with them for my son. That's just how I am as a person."
