Looks like Hov can add model to his resume now… SAY WHAT?! Joe Camel, a model? I know the man’s gotta crazy swagger but can this face really translate in the high fashion world? Fendi seems to think so. Word is Jay-Z was recently seen with Fendi head Karl Lagerfeld at a New York Fendi photo shoot. No word on when the new marketing campaign will launch but I’m sure his freenimies are bucking up some shots for this one. Really can’t see how this could work? Pharell for LV is one thing…P-Willy got that model fresh face, but Jay…that’s just too much camel for a campaign…I dunno man!

In other Hov related news, reports are going around claiming Beyonce & Jay are definitely in talks of marriage. Here we go again…supposedly her family (Matthew & Tina) are giving her the greenlight to marry. Read More Here I’m so over this rumor…isn’t pretty obvious these two are already married, HELLO!

So my friend, Aishah, sent over this list of the Top 40 Hip Hop Blogs on the Net via Woohah! . And yes ya gurl made the top 40 and to think I was starting to get really discouraged. Don’t want to sound like a punk or anything but dedicating my days in and out to this site with a full time job on the side takes a toll on a person, especially when you’re not recognized for ya contributions. But this right here goes to prove that with hard work and faith…anything is possible. So what I’m not in the top 10 but rather #34…either way it means you readers do appreciate the site. And I appreciate all you readers whether you agree or disagree with my comments…I love it! To find out how exactly this BPI (Blog Performance Indicator) system works, read more about it at Woohah!. Also shout out to DaTruth (Howard undergrad, who’s a force to be reckon’ with!) for her regular contribution to the site,  Necole Bitchie (I see you # 22) & Real Talk NY (he’s not on the list b/c he’s part of Rawkus Records network , which falls under another category…but he’s MAJOR!) Anywhoo, thanks again to all the loyal readers and don’t forget to spread the word. And remember keep it a lil’ bit hood with a lot of Hollywood Good!

Peace,

Which hip-hop mogul likes to practice nude yoga in a Chelsea gym steam room? His “pathetic” manhood has driven more than a few onlookers into fits of laughter.

That explains why KLS traded his ass for mandigo hottie Djimon.

MiMi was spotted out in Paris whoring herself and new LP out to the Euros. Lovin’ MiMi and her refound youth but seriously she needs lay off the coochie hugging dresses. During her stay at Paris she called in for a radio interview with BBC Radio 1’s Reggie Yates. Listen as she hangs up on the host. Straight diva-style! During the interview, Reggie says, “You’ve sold over 80 million albums worldwide…” Mimi stops him cold and says, “Is that the right quote?” She says she’s going to go ask someone and the line goes dead. Shorty actually sold 160 million worldwide…talk about being way off! Peep the audio below.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, Usher was sighted giving the paps a friendly message…and later that night he took his pet monster out for a meal at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. Speaking of pets, word is Tameka is willing to pimp out Usher jr. for whopping $2 million to Essence magazine. Highly doubt Essence would pay a dime for pics of this kid. Don’t Tameka know Essence mag is not the business of buying celebrity photos, that’s more People, US Weekly and them other mainstream mags. And if Essence really did want pics of the baby, shouldn’t they be offering you money..not you posting up a “For Sale” sign.

Here’s the clip I previously talked about of Hot 97’s Miss Jones confronting Bad Boy’s boy group Day 26. Why does Jonesy even care?? Is it me but doesn’t Jonesy sound like a straight up bird…I sense major Bitchassness in the studio! More HAM below…

Remember the soft spoken not so pretty Destiny Child’s member also known as Michelle Williams. The songstress is back and sportin’ a new edgier look and sound. PEOPLE snagged the exclusive first listen to “We Break the Dawn,” the synth-heavy first single from her album, Unexpected, due in August under Matthew Knowles’ label Music World Entertainment/Columbia Records. This something new for the singer, whose previous two albums focused more on gospel…now she’s venturing into the pop world thanks to Matthew Knowles’ seal of approval. Be sure to check out Michelle’s official site at http://www.michellewilliamsonline.com/

LISTEN-> MICHELLE WILLIAMS- “WE BREAK THE DAWN”

I was never too fond of M.Williams before but now with this new look and sound…I just might have a change of heart. Notice the Rihanna influence, but I’ll leave ‘ole girl alone, for now. Realtalk, could Michelle go platinum status…something Kelly hasn’t managed to do on the solo tip? Does ‘chelle have what it takes to hit big this time around… We’ll have to wait and see…

ANY THOUGHTS?!


TERRENCE COVERS GIANT MAG

Our favorite Oscar winning permed out pimp covers the April/May issue of Giant magazine and talks about family, relationships, same-sex attraction and dating in Hollywood. Aa-yoo! Same-sex attraction?? Let me find out. Check out a few excerpts from the cover story below.

On Finding the Right Woman: “… It’s so hard to find a good woman who’s gonna help build the family and not be so interested in just building herself. I could be like any other male wannabe celebrity out there and hang out and date a bunch of people. Of course, there’s a beautiful opportunity to be out there and free. Why not eat up all the fruit on the trees? But the end result is that those things bring a dishonor to the family, and I will have served nobody but myself. I’ve sacrificed what I want to do for the sake of my family, and that’s what I need.”
On Male Attraction: … Sometimes men are drawn to each other and don’t know how to deal with that. So they think, ‘I must be gay!’ But we hide from the quality that is most prolific in human beings, to express love. God is love. And we remain in his image. Only one other angel is made in his image, and he became Jesus on this earth, his only begotten son. So why is it that we run from love? Why can’t men look at each other in the eye with honesty?”

Sounds like a very interesting read. Be sure to cop Giant’s April/May issue at your local newstands. On a side tip, T.Howard is working that aviator get-up, me likey!

Which hip hop mogul needed to make an emergency stop on the Southern State Parkway last Sunday at 6:30 pm? After being caught in a long rubbernecking delay, the very recognizable music/fashion entrepreneur had his chauffeur pull over his Bentley- or was it a Rolls?- so he could relieve himself…
