Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are so prepared to live happily ever after, they bought a 10,000-square-foot mansion for $11 million — and are completely gutting it to create an extravagant Italian-style villa home for their growing family!
The house was purchased in a super private gated community in Bel Air, Calif. a source close to Kim and Kanye told TMZ. The source added they have owned the house for a few weeks, and are in the process of transforming it into their dream house.
Perhaps inspired by The Saturdays who also inked a deal with Island Def Jam in the US in October, Little Mix will be releasing debut single ‘Wings’ as their first American release under the same label that houses One Direction, Adele and Beyonce.
Announcing the news in an interview with US magazine Twist, Jade Thirwall said: “We want to show everybody what we’re about and bring out our first single over here.”
“‘Wings’ is the perfect introduction to Little Mix and what we’re all about, so we can’t wait to show it to everybody in America!”
Jesy Nelson says they chose ‘Wings’ as their debut single in the States as it boasts an “uplifting message.”
“We wanted our first single to be a song that meant something to us, but also meant a lot to our fans,” Jesy told the magazine.
“We wanted an uplifting message about believing in yourself, listening to what your mum says (because she’s always right!) and just not letting any negativity bring you down.”
Fatz Da Big Fella goes in the studio with the Street’s Hottest Youngin Shy Glizzy to record their new record, No Doubt. Let’s hope this record hits the streets real soon.
In the new episode of the Truth, Elliott Wilson weighs in on the Meek Mill and Cassidy beef and if Meek Mill should respond back to Cassidy’s latest diss. If Meek knows like I do, he should repond to Cassidy because he will not win this battle.
Joey returned to Power 105 to recap last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop. He also discusses previous and past relationships and more. Below, the crew interviewed Joe Budden’s ex-girlfriend Tahiry who also appears on the new season.
It’s simple: you get down with The Roots, you earn a spot here. And now I’m a fan. Watch Sky perform ‘Everything Is Embarrassing‘ with the legendary band on Jimmy Fallon.
We’ll just get to the point of us posting this: in the above interview (which is a good one), Barbara Walters got to business asking Mariah about the situation surrounding her and Miss Minaj….of which she got some nice responses that might warrant a response from the other end (not counting the response Nicki Minaj already gave on her track ‘Hell Yeah‘, which was brought up as well).
From a more positive standpoint, she also talks about their reconciliation, so I suppose it’s all good.

Hodari Sababu appears in the documentary Hood Life: A Hip Hop Guided Tour of Compton tour, which includes a story of his stepson’s (alleged) stripping past.
In the film, put together by Pitchfork Media, Sababu gives a tour of areas in Compton, like the “stroll” on Long Beach Blvd. After explaining how to differentiate a prostitute who may have HIV/AIDS from a healthy specimen, he delves into the story of opening the strip joint with Game’s mom. “Me and Game’s mom, we started a male exotic club. What we used to do we used to come get guys fresh out of jail, you know they was buffed up and they needed money. A lot of these guys can’t go and fill out an application and get a job, but hey if they look good, they been working out, we put ‘em on. We get ‘em a thousand bucks a week.”
As for Game, his stripping career was short-lived. “Jayceon danced maybe twice, and 50 Cent will not let him forget it. Somehow, somebody got pictures of him dancing in that club with his g-string on, and boy, boy, boy.”
Sababu goes on to talk about his stepson’s achievements, maintaining that he has no problem telling the story because he’s not on Game’s “payroll.”
Of course the father of three has yet to respond , and being that some of the scenes show his stepfather standing on Hollywood Blvd. behind a sign that says “tours,” his motive might just be to get publicity.
But either way, a dude making it clap in a g-string isn’t gangsta. Is it?
It is no secret Joey Bada$$ is inspired by ’90s golden era hip-hop. His debut mixtape 1999 (via Cinematic Music Group) showcased his love for the decade and the legends it spawned. When Green Label Sound heard about Joey’s admiration for the legendary DJ Premier, we couldn’t pass up getting these two together for a track.
The result out of DJ Premier’s HeadQCourterz Studio is “Unorthodox,” in title and execution. “Unorthodox” is a unique track that Joey dedicates to real hip-hop fans and his Pro Era collective. Get a sneak peek of the track in the video above. “Unorthodox” available for download January 14, 2013 from Green Label Sound.
Raekwon had a listening party for his upcoming Ep which is set to drop later on today. During the event Raekwon played tracks from the project and spoke about his thoughts on “Lost Jewlry”, advising the youth, his impact on up and coming artists, being humble and more.
There’s a lot of veteran R&B singers bringing the game back in my opinion, and the next up is Jon B….the new diddy is from the upcoming B Sides Collection — a collection of songs recorded from 2001 to last year — due January 29th.
