UPDATE: Justin Timberlake Confirms ’20/20′ Sequel

justin343

Justin Timberlake has officially confirmed the news.

Looks like Justin Timberlake wants the whole year to himself and then some. ?uestlove posted this on Okayplayer’s message boards (read the full entry here):

Looks like Kanye might want to wait til’ 2014 (just sayin’)?

UPDATE: Mack Maine Says Lil’ Wayne Is Released From Hospital

UPDATE:

20130318-201038.jpg

Plenty of developments with this story, the first and most important one being that Lil’ Wayne’s health status has finally upgraded. From TMZ:

We broke the story … doctors pumped Wayne’s stomach at least 3 times after the rapper began experiencing severe and violent seizures. He had been in the ICU since Wednesday.

Now, we’re told the 30-year-old has been walking around the hospital floor on his own — accompanied by a team of bodyguards.

We’re told he’s also eating on his own … and could even be discharged from the hospital in the near future.

Birdman has since already refuted TMZ’s claims that the seizures were drug-related. In related news, some tech guy supposedly revealed that Lil’ Wayne’s recovery Tweet couldn’t have come from him, nor anyone in the hospital for that matter. From HipHopDX:

Following reports that Lil Wayne had suffered from multiple seizures late last week, an alleged Tweet made from the rapper led to even more confusion. The Tweet made from the Lil Wayne’s @LilTunechi account read, “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love,” and left many wondering how the hospitalized rapper was able to log on to social media in his condition.

According to Nibletz.com founder Kyle Sandler, the Tweet made by Lil Wayne was not made from his location at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

“@TMZ FYI @LilTunechi tweet did NOT originate from 34.0766385, -118.37954589999998 (the lat/long for Cedars Sinai),” said Sandler from his @startuptechguy account, which boasts close to 100,000 followers.

If Lil Wayne’s Tweet did not originate from the location Sandler listed, it’s likely that a rep for the rapper or someone else may have instead posted to the rapper’s Twitter account.

The Young Money artist was hospitalized on Thursday, March 14th and little about the rapper’s condition has been revealed since.

will.i.am Announces Release Date, Features For ‘#willpower’

Will-i-am_4

will.i.am (or his team) just released some news about the artist’s upcoming album: for one, #willpower should be in stores April 23rd.

In addition, fans can expect features from all ends of the spectrum, including Nicole Scherzinger, Hit-Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Wayne, Diddy, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, Skylar Grey, Juicy J, Eva Simons, apl.de.ap, Baby Kaely and 2NE1.

But the big question: will there be any Hip-Hop this side of Behind The Front on the project?

TMZ Vs. Lil’ Wayne & Co. (Day 6)

lilwayneSo, we have a bit of a line drawn in the sand: on one end, you have Lil’ Wayne’s closest family and friends telling the public that he’s fine (not to forget a Tweet from Lil’ Wayne’s Twitter account)…on the other end, the current smoking gun of the story TMZ. Obviously, we don’t really know what true, but you can’t deny the information that’s been reported from Harvey Levin’s website, either. And six days later, he’s still in the hospital:

Lil Wayne is still in rough shape … and remains in the intensive care unit at an L.A. hospital 6 days after being admitted for seizures stemming from a suspected drug overdose … TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us … Wayne’s condition has not improved enough to be moved out of the ICU … and he continues to be monitored very closely by staff at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai hospital.

We know Wayne has been surrounded by friends and family since he was admitted to the ICU this past Wednesday … and we’re told the mood around Wayne’s bedside has been very serious.

Among Wayne’s visitors — Drake, Chris Paul, Nicki Minaj, Birdman and others.

TMZ broke the story … Wayne’s stomach was pumped at least 3 times after doctors suspected he had overdosed on the prescription drug codeine … the main ingredient in “sizzurp.”

Wayne has struggled with codeine for years — and just a few months ago suggested he had quit using the powerful painkiller.

Noel Gallagher Disses Emeli Sandé, Paloma Faith & More; Sandé Responds

2012NoelGallagherPA070912

In a recent interview with Shortlist, Noel Gallagher was pretty outspoken about Emeli Sandé:

I think the Brits has now reached a tipping point. Something needs to be done. It’s a sh*t thing for a middle-aged man to say – “Well, it’s not as good as it was in my day” – but, you know, I’m still switched on enough to think, “It was better.” The best album category in 1996 was The Verve, Oasis, Blur and Radiohead or something [it was actually Blur, Pulp, Radiohead and Paul Weller]. And you look at the best now. Paloma Faith? Do me a favour. Who’s f*cking decided she’s a star? Emeli Sande? That is f*cking music for grannies. I don’t get it. And then you have the other side of the coin: One Direction. Prancing up and down singing a Blondie song and getting an award for it. Nice lads though they might be, f*ck off. Which is exactly what we told them. It’s turning into the grand finale of The X Factor, which is exactly what Simon Cowell wants.

Ouch. Miss Sandé was already kind enough to respond, though:

A$AP Rocky To Be Featured On Jessie Ware U.S. Release (@asvpxrocky @Jessie_Ware)

jessie-ware-devotion-album

Looks like A$AP Rocky is getting on a new version of Jessie Ware’s ‘Wildest Moments’, which will be featured on a US release of ‘Devotion’. Not sure when the album will be re-released but I hope to hear that remix soon.

Tyga’s Lamborghini Impounded During Traffic Stop

Read the below excerpt and tell me ain’t nothing fishy about this story. From TMZ:

Tyga was pulled over around 11:00 PM for an unknown traffic violation in Hollywood. But when cops asked him for license and registration, Tyga had NEITHER … no current registration AND the rapper was unlicensed to drive.

We’re told Tyga was not arrested for the violations — but the police issued him a citation and had his primo ride impounded ASAP. He was also given a field sobriety test, as seen in the footage, but was not busted for DUI.

After the ordeal, Tyga vented his frustration on Twitter, saying, “#F*** LAPD.”

Tone Loc Collapses On Stage Due To Seizures

Tone-Loc-at-LAVO-31-588

Spotted on TMZ:

Rapper Tone Loc collapsed on stage at a downtown Des Moines performance late Saturday, abruptly ending the show, attendees said.

The seriousness of the incident was not immediately apparent. It happened at the Bridge Bash, being held at the Court Avenue bridge over the Des Moines River.

Three Des Moines Register employees said Tone Loc finished a song, then went to the ground. People attended to him for about five minutes. Fans were asked to leave and the show was shut down.

If you recall, this isn’t the first time that Tone Loc had issues with seizures.

Debra Antney (Waka Flocka’s Mother) Sues French Montana For Breach Of Contract

french-montana-deb-anthony-575

Reported by TMZ:

According to the lawsuit, Antney — who runs Atlanta-based management company Mizay Entertainment — entered into an exclusive management contract with French in November 2010.

Antney announced the new partnership with several press releases, and French himself acknowledged the relationship … praising Antney’s management skills, telling XXL, “As far as management, she got it down pat.”

But in the lawsuit, Antney says things quickly went sour … claiming French subsequently secured several concert appearances without her knowledge or consent, cutting her out of a 20% management fee.

Antney — who used to rep Nicki Minaj — is now suing for unspecified damages, totaling at least $50,000.

French was served with the lawsuit while entering an Atlanta concert venue on Tuesday. Calls to French’s camp were not returned.

Michael Jackson’s Mother Katherine, Kids Seek 40 BILLION From AEG Live

0315-katherin-kids-getty-3

I’ll let TMZ tell it. This has to be some kind of record or something.

Michael Jackson’s 3 children and his mom Katherine want in excess of $40 BILLION from AEG Live for the death of the singer … TMZ has learned.

We’ve obtained legal docs which now lay out what Prince, Paris, Blanket and Katherine want from the entertainment company for its alleged negligent hiring and supervision of Dr. Conrad Murray.

The kids want $10 billion for all of the future earnings they claim MJ would have scored had he lived.

They want an additional $50 million for various other damages.

AEG Live claims the $40 billion is preposterous because Michael’s career was in a downward spiral following the child molestation allegations, as well as self-imposed exile in the Middle East. They claim the damage claim is based on rank speculation.

T.I. Rants On Twitter About TMZ’s Reporting Of Lil’ Wayne

TILilWayne

Wayne and his supporters are claiming that TMZ falsely reported Wayne being in a coma last night (they have been standing by their story for the most part)….one of those suppoters — T.I. — logged onto his twitter and let everyone know how he felt about it. Check out Tip’s tweets below.

 

Was Stalley’s House Raided By Feds?

stalley

According to AHH:

I heard that one of the most seriously talented dudes from MMG may have issues on the Federal level! The word is Stalley’s home in Dumbo, BK was raided by the FBI yesterday morning. Apparently, people in the building know that Stalley lives there. Nobody knows what the deal is with this rumored raiding. But, sources say “FOR SURE” that it was a federal raid.

UPDATE: Did Gucci Mane Drop Waka Flocka Flame From His Brick Squad Label?

UPDATE: When I asked the “Twitter hacked” question below, I wasn’t just sayin’ it for my health:

hack

080911-music-collaborations-gucci-mane-waka-flocka-flame

Was his Twitter hacked?

Gucci tweeted a few hours ago that Waka has been dropped from 1017 Brick Squad Records. This could be a bad business move: I don’t understand why you would drop one of your top selling artists.

Gucci tweet:

Waka flacka flames officially dropped off brick squad 1017. Big Guwop say give me a offer fa this disloyal lil nigga

Waka reacts:

Somebody tell Gucci Mane 2 SUCK A DICK. We BSM. Can’t tweet beef #HucciKnowHowIrOck

Update On Lil’ Wayne Health Status After Suffering From Recent Seizures

0315-lil-wayne-cedars-tmz-3

UPDATE #2: Pictures are out there, but visitors to the hospital to see Wayne have recently included Drake and Chris Paul.

UPDATE: So TMZ has apparently rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way over Lil’ Wayne’s recent health scares — they recently reported that Wayne was in such bad condition that he was being given last rites, which everybody is refuting (including Weezy himself)…

…also in the news story: they (TMZ) say that his recent seizures are probably a result of his recent relapse into codeine use. It was also reported that they had to pump Wayne’s stomach in order to get the drugs out of his system. While TMZ has removed the part about the last rites, they’re standing pretty firm on everything else (they also insinuate that he’s still be stabilized and he probably wasn’t the one to send off that above tweet). We’ll post more updates as they arrive.

According to TMZ, Lil’ Wayne is in ICU in critical condition after suffering yet another seizure, and they say it doesn’t look good. Let’s all pray.

Nicki Minaj Shows Up Late To A Live Taping Of American Idol; Threatened To Leave Live Taping Over Contestant

The above visual shows Ryan Seacrest making light of the fact that Nicki Minaj was a niggerdly 13 minutes late to a live taping of American Idol….below is her threatening to bounce after a contestant she favored was booted off the show. Fox News reported on the matter:

The fiesty female rapper was notably absent from her seat as the program hit TV screens on Wednesday.

Presenter Ryan Seacrest made light of the situation as Nicki struggled to make it to the studio after getting stuck in traffic.

“Which one of you gave Nicki the wrong directions today? Which one of you drained the fuel from her car?” he joked.

Mariah – who has famously had her differences with Nicki throughout the course of the show – remained silent throughout, simply shaking her head disapprovingly.

When she eventually arrived she took her place alongside the rest of the panel wearing a black tracksuit with her hood up.
