This Tourist Asked Beyonce And Jay Z Who They Are — And Lived!

by 1 hour ago

Free life lesson: if you’re going to film Jay Z and Beyoncé taking daughter Blue Ivy on a private tour of The Louvre in Paris, you should at least know who they are.

A tourist-turned-wannabe paparazzo made a major faux pas when he tried to get footage of the On The Run Tour headliners making their way into the historic French museum.

“Who is he?” the cameraman asked about the world-renowned rapper from Brooklyn.

The Magna Carta… Holy Grail MC then gave the best response ever as he walked by with his daughter in his arms and his super-famous wife — who was busy taking photos of her own — trailing behind.

“Who are you?” he retorted with the steeliest gaze this side of Marcy Projects.

The uninformed videographer tried to laugh it off, but come on. Has this guy literally never seen or heard about hip-hop’s royal family? Has he even heard of the Internet?

Mary J. Blige And Disclosure Up Their Bond To Bestie Status In ‘Right Now’

by 1 hour ago

Mary J. Blige hits the studio in London Town for her new music video, “Right Now.”

The black and white clip finds the “Whole Damn Year” singer writing and recording song for her upcoming LP, The London Sessions, with her new best buds Disclosure, the British electronic music duo that produced the track.

The bond MJB shares with her collaborators really shows, from the hugs they share to the cohesive fusing of their respective R&B and pop-meets-house sounds.

Previously, the blond-coifed chanteuse worked with Disclosure on their song, “F For You.”

The London Sessions, the multiple Grammy winner’s thirteenth studio album that features songs co-written by the likes of Naughty Boy and Sam Smith, is scheduled to drop on December 2.

Rome Fortune’s Small VVorld Album Cover Is So Good, You Just Have To Listen

by 1 hour ago

Rome Fortune continues to champion Atlanta’s avant-gardist movement with his new free LP, Small VVorld.

Besides possibly having the best album cover art of the year, the 11-track project, which features experimental, trippy trap beats by Four Tet, Bassnectar and Blood Diamonds, is a cohesive look inside the rapper’s rather eclectic experiences in the ATL.

“Maybe I just live with a clip, never empty, maybe I just live in the past, broke and friendly/ I just broke into your mind, don’t forget me, I just think I’m on my grind heaven sent me,” he raps on the standout track, “One Time For.”

Other notable songs include the ILoveMakonnen-assisted “FriendsMaybe,” the Pat Lukens-produced “Why” and “4 Seasons,” which features another artist pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, OG Maco.

“Makonnen and Maco were more so late additions to the project,” Rome told Billboard. “I wanted to have a clear representation of what a lot of the new artists from Atlanta are. That’s different. It’s a few people genuinely doing their own thing so I wanted to embrace and showcase that.”

Small VVorld is now available for download here.

by 24 mins ago

Jaden Smith continued his viral music campaign with the release of his new music video for “Fast” on Monday (October 6).

In the clip, which runs just over a minute, the “Trophy V6″ MC wilds out in an oversize hoodie and no pants in a parking garage and nearby alley, spitting furiously about why his girl chooses to drive like Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Wait, What Did Ariana Grande Just Say About Ellen DeGeneres’ Panties?

by 1 min ago

Despite her busy schedule, Ariana Grande still takes time to play hide-and-go-seek. Sometimes with Ellen DeGeneres. Sometimes in Ellen DeGeneres’ bushes. Wait, what?

On Monday (October 6), the “Love Me Harder” singer played “Who’s In My Bushes?!” on “The Ellen Show,” where an audience member named Maddy had to guess which celebrity was hiding behind a wall of hedges.

Some of the hints Ariana gave (like, “I only wear Ellen DeGeneres’ panties”) weren’t so helpful. But after a softball question (“Is your last name a drink at Starbucks?”), Maddy figured out that it was Grande back there. Watch the clip below.

Is A ‘Twin Peaks’ Reboot Really Happening?

by 20 mins ago

Good news, Twin Peakers! That gum you like is finally coming back!

David Lynch and Mark Frost, creators of the cult classic TV show “Twin Peaks,” took to Twitter Friday (October 3) to drop a very cool cryptic clue that only true fans of the extremely quirky ’90′s television series would understand.

“Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee,” wrote Lynch and Frost.

The gum comment refers to the odd dream sequence Kyle MacLachlan’s FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper had in which he encountered dwarf.

The #damngoodcoffee hashtag, of course, was Cooper’s catchphrase about his favorite cup of morning Joe.

Although Twin Peaks had a serial cult following and was critically acclaimed, it only lasted two seasons in 1990-1991. Many people (us included) argue that the show didn’t last because it was ahead of its time.

Now, perhaps, thanks to the proposed reboot, it will finally have the proper spotlight.

The show was based on Cooper’s investigation of the murder of the homecoming queen Laura Palmer. The show’s name hails from the name of the fictional town in Washington state where all of the wonderfully weird things happened.

Watch A Super Intense Bradley Cooper In The Trailer For ‘American Sniper’

by 44 mins ago

Christmas just got a lot more interesting thanks to Clint Eastwood.

The Oscar-winning director has a new film called “American Sniper” dropping this December starring Bradley Cooper and the powerfully intense trailer just hit the web.

In the clip, Cooper plays Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. He’s on a roof, sniper rifle aimed, locked and loaded, methodically monitoring and detailing the unidentified people that appear while soldiers are on convoy in war-torn Iraq.

“Hold on, I got a woman and a kid 200 yards out, moving towards the convoy,” he says with alarm. “Her arms aren’t swinging, she’s carrying something. She’s got a grenade, she’s got an RKG Russian grenade she’s handing to the kid…”

The suspense then builds to a heightened crescendo as the sound of a heart beat grows louder, images of his family flash by and the base command tells him it’s “his call” on whether or not to take the kill shot.

“They fry you if you’re wrong,” says his spotter.

The film is based on Chris Kyle’s best-selling memoir about his life as the most lethal sniper in American military history.

“American Sniper,” which also stars Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes and Sienna Miller, hits theaters on Christmas Day in a limited release and expands nationwide on January 16.
