“Kanye can’t help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show. He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo.”
N.E.R.D. front man Pharrell Williams is making major moves. Not only is the rapper/producer working with some of today’s hottest acts in the music biz, but he’s also snagged a gig to pen tracks for Universal Pictures’ 3D animated movie Despicable Me. Pharrell will hit the studio with Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer and Heitor Pereira for the project.
“I love cartoons and animation, and I’ve never seen such incredible 3D CGI. To score Despicable Mealong with Hans and Heitor and write original songs for the film is a dream come true,” Williams said.
Pharrell has already penned the film’s title track and is currently working on the orchestral score and some other tracks.
Can’t wait to hear the final product! We know it’s going to be HARD!
]]>After missing every episode of 90210 since its season premiere, I decided to tune in last night to catch up. To my surprise, last night’s episode featured train wreck Lindsay Lohan’s on-and-off again DJ girlfriend Samantha Ronson and the N.E.R.D crew who performed their track “Radio (W.T.F)”–and killed it! However, while watching them on my high-definition 52 inch screen, I felt like something or rather someone was missing from the crew. Wondering who I’m talking about? Hint: She’s the Princess of Harlem and has really DopeLips (No homo)!
Last year, Teyana Taylor the self-proclaimed Princess of Harlem and protégé of N.E.R.D frontman Pharrell Williams hit the scene with her eclectic style and catchy debut song “Google Me”. However, a year later the Harlem native’s long-anticipated debut album From A Planet Called Harlem has yet to hit store shelves, which makes me wonder what’s going on with her music career? Teyana has been keeping herself busy chillin’ with Chris Brown & the bloggers, modeling and now her very own lip gloss line “DopeLips” in the works. But, what I’m curious to know is when will Teyana bless us with her sultry voice and dope dancing skills; thus embarking on her own stateside tour. Hell, has her BFF, Chris Brown, even given Ms. Taylor any shine on Graffiti?! We wonder…but one thing is for sure, Teyana definitely has the voice, body, style, and drive that would definitely put these other R&B b*tches to shame (ie: Ciara, Rihanna, and dare I say even Beyonce…) There’s definitely more to the Princess of Harlem than meets the eye, so when will fans finally be granted what they’ve been waiting for so long? According to her MySpace Page, she’s still signed under StarTrak/Interscope…but while the world is in a Rihanna and Beyonce frenzy, when will Ms. Taylor get her chance to shine?!
NOTE TO TEYANA STANS: Let me make it clear, in no way are we attacking Teyana. And Teyana if you’re reading this, please don’t take this as “another blog site talking sh*t about you”….we’re just concerned fans.
In case you missed N.E.R.D.’s performance on 90210 last night, check it out below!

Word is Rihanna and N.E.R.D front man Pharrell Williams have been spending quite a lot of time together, including late night rendezvous’ at hotels. Apparently, these two have gotten really close since Pharrell started working on RiRi’s new album last month. A snitch tells U.K.’s Daily Mirror,
“It’s no secret that Rihanna and Pharrell have chemistry. Adding, “And not just in the studio – they seem mesmerized by each other. But Chris will be gutted to learn he could have lost Rihanna to one of the sexiest men in music. Rihanna and Pharrell talk on the phone all the time and whenever she can get a break in her schedule she’ll go and support him at a gig.”
Peep more pics of Rihanna arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport after the cut!
