Chrianna Exposed - AGAIN


(Image: Ri Ri: Bossips.com)

Rihanna is set to expose Chris Brown on 'Good Morning America' - The US version of GMTV on Thursday - and it could be very nasty indeed.

Both artists are putting out music at the same time so any publicity is good publicity, but I can't help but think it should be lefted well alone. The subject is just too touchy and going to drag up their past.

Rihanna is even set to release her second official single "So Hard", featuring rapper Young Jeezy, which is all about the type of woman she's become after being so hurt in the past.

Take a peak!


I think it's better than Russian Roulette to say the least.

Just in case you forgot what Chris Brown was good for, here is his new video. "I can transform yah" featuring Lil Wayne.



He is definitely trying to come back in a BIG way.

Duffy smahed the Brit Awards!

(Image: Duffy: www.music.download.com)

Congrats to Duffy! This year is really proving to be her year after winning two Grammy's, and now the popstress is the proud winner of three awards after tonight's Brit Awards. Other big winners were King of Leon, picking two awards. My poor Cold play didn't get a thing after being nominated for four awards. Tis' a shame.

I've noticed that every year a major British act gets snubbed at the Brits, and people start to wondering why these artists don't turn up for certain events, or why in some cases, these artists start to concentrate on the American market. It's because they don't get diddly squat here!!!!

Anyway, Duffy can only go from strength to strength, after the way this year has gone - it's only February the soulful singer has got awards coming out of her ears!

I for one, am happy for her.

List of winners:

Mastercard British Album – Duffy ‘Rockferry’

British Group – Elbow

British Single – Girls Aloud ‘The Promise’

British Male Solo Artist – Paul Weller

British Female Solo Artist – Duffy

British Breakthrough Act – Duffy

British Live Act – Iron Maiden

International Album – Kings of Leon ‘Only By The Night’

International Group – Kings of Leon

International Male Solo Artist – Kanye West

International Female Solo Artist – Katy Perry

Critics’ Choice Award – Florence & The Machine

British Producer of the Year – Bernard Butler

Outstanding Contribution to Music – Pet Shop Boys

Jacko's got another infection!

(Image: Michael Jackson's hand : Pereezhilton)

Michael Jackson has caught an infection which enters the skin through an open wound, and could potentially be resistant to conventional antibiotics.

If it get more serious he may require reconstruction of the skin. Poor Michael, I don't think he can take anymore reconstruction, he might just snap.

Bless him!

Chris Brown is finished!! Well maybe..

UPDATE: Rihanna is bruised up

(Image: Chris Brown/Rihanna: noddit)

Geez!! Things are getting worse for the young lovebirds, who are not really lovebirds, but are really lovebirds...

The police took pictures of Rihanna's injuries and they are said to be "horrific."
The photos show major contusions on Rihanna's face. She has serious swelling, bruising, her lip is split and her nose was bloody.

Poor girl is meant to have bite marks too...what type Hannibal move is that?

Apparently, Rihanna's people has put her on lock down - she is not coming out for a while. I don't blame her though...

They were such a cute couple too...geez

On No! It was Rihanna!!! SMH SMH

(Image: Chris Brown/Rihanna: noddit.com)

People People the woman who Chris Brown allegedly roughed up is indeed Rihanna.

OH THE SHAME!!!!!

Pregnancy was not stopping M.I.A



This is M.I.A, 9 months preggers, on her due date - singing and showing her full swagger at the 2009 Grammy Awards last night.

I suppose it's not every day you get to perform with Jay-z, Kanye West, T.I and Lil Wayne.

That's passion...

Chris Brown? Say it ain't so...

(Image: Chris Brown: noddit.com)

Geez!!!! Say it ain't so, say it ain't so!!!

Apparently, Chris Brown was arrested in LA, just before the 2009 Grammy's yesterday, where he was nominated for two awards and set to perform.

Now here's the shocker, allegedly he assaulted an woman who is currently 'unidentified'. There is a nasty rumour going around suggesting that the woman in question was Rihanna (err Brown's girlfriend).

19 year old Brown turned himself into the police and had to post a £50,000 bail!

I mean, what's it all about?

Little Christopher Brown could never have hit Rihanna, could he? I mean, Rihanna was suppose to turn up at the Grammy's herself, but didn't. The rumour of her being the victim could have stemmed from there..or did it?

I most certainly hope he didn't...SMH

Winehouse to make a star



Amy Winehouse has been given a calling - to invest in the musical career of her 12 year god daughter, Dionne Bromfield.

Amy thinks the girl is on fire and is investing £1 millions of her cold earned cash into a record label just to help Dionne get out there...ain't that nice of her!

Amy's guitar work in this video is disturbing me from really getting to grips with little Dionne's singing, however I think the girl has a got a little something, so watch this space.

Etta James is a taker backer

(Image: Etta Jame: Kalamu.com)

After the big talk that Etta James was giving about whopping Beyonce's poor 'ass', now she back tracking. Etta's saying that she was only joking.

The singer told the NY Daily News:
"I didn't really mean anything...Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude. … That's probably what went into it."

What!!!! Err no! I don't buy it. Etta just realised that she sounded crazy and now she wants to be a 'taker backer.'

It's too late, Beyonce is probably crying over her comments. lol

The shame of it!

Beyonce gets blasted!!

(Image: Etta James/Beyonce: House Of Fame LLC/Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images, Sony BMG Film)

Arhh bless! Beyonce was fighting to sing that one song, "At Last", at this years inauguration, only for her to get blasted for efforts by none other than Etta James - the original singer of the track, and who Beyonce portrays in her new film, 'Cadillac Records' - the shame of it.

Listen to Etta's rant:
"...You know that woman he [Obama] had singing for him, singing my song — she's gonna get her ass whipped. The great Beyoncé … But I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day … singing my song that I've been singing forever."

Now, that's not even friendly is it? If Etta wanted to sing her song, she should have asked Obama. It's too late to be moaning now...

Just in case you missed B's performance, here it is

Poor Amy: When opportunity knocks...


(Image: Amy Winehouse: Newscom)

I was going to find a better picture, but would you take a look at Amy's face in this one...

On a more serious note, the media has made it quite clear that she is vacating St. Lucia. In fact, it has been made so clear that she's away that some 'opportunists' took it upon themselves, to burgle the poor girls flat.

They took about £15,000 worth of valuables - how nasty is that? You can't go away to get away from your 'problems', only to come back to find that there's nothing in your home.

Very nasty!!!!

Politics and Grime come together


(Image: Norman Lamb - LIB DEMS MP : BBC News)
and

(Image: Tinchy Stryder: http://i25.tinypic.com/2mric8l.jpg)

I hear that Norman Lamb MP thinks he knows more than a thing or two about the Grime music scene...

Mr Lamb, the Lib Dems health spokesman is apparently somewhat involved in the rising career of Tinchy Stryder. The Grime artist is on Lamb's son record label- strange but true.

The kind MP has attended gigs and even invested £10,000 in the record company.

Lamb told the BBC: "It's [grime] been the central part of our lives for the last three years. We've lived grime."

Well, if that's the case, I dabble in a bit of grime, could I have £10,000 too.

Kelly's dashed Beyonce's Dad


(Image: Kelly Rowland: aolcdn.com)

Kelly has finally left her long time manager, Matthew Knowles,(Beyonce's father).

Matthew Knowles:

"After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny's Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly."

Kelly Rowland says:

"Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance — both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."

Apparently, they have parted amicably and no bad exchanges have been made.

Sorry but this had to happen...No one is really buying Kelly Rowland records state side. She is staying UK like she can't go home to the US. See, I like Kelly but she needs some new producers, a new manager etc etc etc.

Guru Jazzs up the stage


The eclectic sounds of the Guru to the Deep South beats of Soulja Boy, there is something in hip-hop for everyone. Although I must say, Guru’s diverse take on hip-hop proves that this genre of music has many spectrums. He is one of the pioneers of the hip-hop/jazz crossover, and he allows us to remember that the evolving styles of hip- hop never fail to dazzle.


Guru is the lyrical half of legendary hip-hop group, Gang Star, together with DJ Premier. He is also well known for his Jazzmatazz album series.


Hip - hop jazz master, Guru, his ‘7 Grand’ instrumentalists, the legendary DJ Doowop and producer and side kick, Solar have been on the ‘Time Out’ world tour since January 2008. Guru believes that they give ‘one of the biggest hip hop shows on the planet which offers the most original jazz music around.’(even if he does say so his self).


Obviously, Guru couldn’t perform through Europe without stopping off in London. He brought his Jazzy steez to London’s Jazz café this week, where I managed to slip in a little political convo with Guru and Solar before they ripped the stage. At a time of electoral bliss for most Americans, I had to ask whether they were happy with the new President Elect, Barack Obama, to which Guru was clearly ecstatic: “Yeah of course I’m happy - it’s all about Obama...he is the man…”


“Just make sure you enjoy the show – it’s going to be good”


I have to say, the show was well worth the wait. As expected, everyone from his instrumentalists to producer Solar had the crowd beating the air and swaying side to side. Guru’s rhyming ability was especially smooth, and oozed charisma with tracks such as ‘Connections’, ‘State of Clarity’ and ‘Living legend’- he even threw in some free styling for good measure. Solar made his presence clear, making sure the crowd was feeling every second of the show.


The trumpet player (part of Guru’s label, ‘7 Grand’) was absolutely killing it. His fingers were running up and down that trumpet, not missing a note. I’m pretty sure he was out of breath after the show. DJ Doowop was spinning them decks effortlessly - this was a live show not to be missed.
