Tracee Ellis Ross Literally Can’t With Young Thug’s ‘Lifestyle’ Verse: Watch!

by 2 mins ago

Here’s a question for anyone who has ever listened to Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan’s megahit, “Lifestyle”: Do you actually know all the lyrics?

Didn’t think so.

Don’t worry, neither does Tracee Ellis Ross. The “Black-ish” actress Instagrammed a video on Wednesday (October 8) where she tries to learn the words to the Rich Gang track, and her hip-hop karaoke fail is as funny as you think it will be.

“Oh, I’m not sure about these lyrics…@thuggerthugger1 and @richhomiequan,” she wrote in the caption.

While wearing the most dumbfounded expression ever, Diana Ross’ daughter stumbles over Thug’s indecipherable verse, managing to get out the line “b-tches can’t see me” before it all turned to gobbledygook.

“What is he saying?” she asked.

We don’t know, Tracee, but it sure sounds good.

Jessie J’s ‘Burnin’ Up’ Video Is 4 Minutes Of Pure Man-Candy Fantasy: Watch!

by 1 min ago

Jessie J’s new video for “Burnin’ Up” is finally out, and she wasn’t kidding when she promised we’d see some five-syllable cho-re-og-raph-y.

Released on Wednesday (October 8), a good chunk of the clip has the “Bang Bang” singer leading a military-precise phalanx of dancers dressed in seductively cut black-leather ensembles.

J spends the rest of the video posing poolside while some half-naked Adonises stand guard behind her (do not disturb plz), sharing the spotlight with featured artist 2 Chainz and going full-on Alanis Morissette with her fingernails on some poor dude’s back. #IHopeYouFeelIt #WellCanYouFeelIt

I’m still not really sure what “subliminal sex” is, but I’ll have seven. With plenty of aspect ratio on the side for dipping.

Jessie J’s “Burnin’ Up” was produced by Max Martin, Ricky Reed and Axident. It serves as the latest single for her third studio album, Sweet Talker, which is expected to drop on October 14.

There’s An All-Beyonce Radio Station In Houston? We Want To Go To There

by 29 mins ago

Attention BeyHive: There is a radio station in Houston that has officially changed its news format to become all Beyoncé, all the time.

You heard right. This is not a drill. The former News92 FM shut down on Tuesday (October 7) and woke up “like this” the next morning, playing Beyoncé songs around the clock.

“She’s Queen [Bey]. In looking to make a transition, we go back to what we know,” Radio One’s Yashima Azilove told ABC 13’s Eyewitness News. “We know urban radio. We’re in Houston, the combination seemed like a winning one.”

Wow, Beyoncé really does run the world — or at least the Beygency does.

Unfortunately, all those back-to-back Yoncé hits came at a hefty price.

The changeover from news reports, traffic updates and weather conditions to the nonstop playlist of “Drunk in Love,” “Flawless” and other chart-toppers by Houston’s favorite daughter left 47 of News92′s employees without a job.

“This difficult decision is a result of sustained poor ratings performance and significant financial losses over the past three years despite the substantial financial and human resources we invested,” said Radio One in a statement on its website.

“Unfortunately, the market hasn’t shown a sustainable appetite for news radio, but each of you motivated us daily to produce a high-quality news program,” continued the statement. “Together, we made history.”

According to reports, all of the employees that were laid off were given severance packages.

“They gave it their best shot. Management lost money on this operation for four straight ...

Soulja Boy’s Girlfriend, Nia Riley, And Her Daughter Involved In Car Accident

by 16 mins ago

Soulja Boy and his longtime girlfriend, Nia Riley, reportedly suffered a scare this week when Riley and her young daughter were involved in a car accident.

“My girlfriend @niariley was in a car accident and the car flipped over and our daughter was in the car,” the rapper wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (October 8). “Need your prayers. Life is short and you never know what could happen I love them and don’t know what I would do if something happened to them. God first.”

E! News contacted a rep for Riley — who is the daughter of veteran music producer Teddy Riley and one of the stars on VH1′s “Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood” — who said that Nia and her daughter were doing better.

“Thank you for your concern,” the rep said in a statement. “Both Nia and Kamryn are ok and are now home with Soulja Boy.”

New episodes of “Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood” air on Mondays at 8 p.m. on VH1.

Sam Smith Covers Beyonce And It’s, Um, You Know… Flawless

by 18 mins ago

When Sam Smith hit up a karaoke bar last night, he did what any normal person in his situation would do: sing all the Beyoncé. (We also would have accepted Mariah Carey or Toni Braxton.) Unlike any normal person, however, Sam Smith sounds like, um, Sam Smith when he sings, though I’m sure you sound lovely, too.

After his concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Tuesday night, the “Restart” singer and his crew popped into Lonnie’s Western Room — which describes itself as “The #1 Karaoke Bar In Tennessee And Florida!” on its website. #ShotsFired

First up, Sam and his three friends — who ABC News says are his actual backup singers — performed an utterly flawless rendition of BEYONCÉ track “Flawless.” They followed that up with a tightly harmonized cover of the Destiny’s Child classic, “Say My Name.” So beautiful! It’s as if Beyonce, Kelly, LaTavia, LeToya, Farrah and Michelle were up there with him.

Watch Sam prove that he did, in fact, wake up like on this.

And watch him sing “Say My Name.”

19 Things We Learned About Raury – Including The Origin Of The ‘Raury Hat’

by 25 mins ago

raury

You’ll often hear accomplished artists say that music is a young man’s game — and when they say that, they probably have someone like Raury in mind. The Atlanta rapper/singer/songwriter turned 18 back in June, and he can already show off a body of work and unique style that’s drawing comparisons to a young Andre 3000.

His debut, Indigo Child, was released in August, and perked up plenty of ears with off-the-wall singles like “God’s Whisper” and “Cigarette Song.” Raury is currently signed to Columbia Records, and this year he’s been rubbing shoulders and working with a few notorious musicians — not to mention that he’s just a pretty interesting kid in general. Here are a few things I learned about Raury during our recent interview, in no particular order.

1. He always has an escape plan (literally)
I like to look around and know everything that’s around me in case I have to escape or something. You’ve gotta know your surroundings.

2. He quit playing sports and started recording music in his friend’s basement
I was 14 when I decided this is all I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but my first literal recordings took place when I was about 15. Everything was like really low key, so nobody knew it existed, but I quit playing sports and everything. It was in my good ol’ guy Kip’s little basement. I learned how to produce and everything from him, in a studio set ...

Sky Ferreira Tries Purple, Pink, And Red Hair For Redken

by 19 mins ago

Sky Ferreira has been working with Redken for almost a year—while she’s had brown hair IRL, her first campaign featured her as a platinum blonde. Her most recent campaign just came out and stars Sky with a new hair color—actually, multiple (and bright!) hair colors.

Sky FerreiraRedken


The reason behind Sky’s new hues? Redken’s brand new Rebel Color Hair Makeup. The new line comes in five colors—red, pink, coral, gold, and purple—and adds color to your hair in minutes. It’s basically like a crayon, and you just trace it over your hair. See? Just like Sky.

Sky FerreiraRedken


Ta-da! Your hair is colored, will last for two washes, and you can do whatever you want—let it flow freely, braid it across your head like Sky, whatever.

Sky FerreiraRedken


While the color appears to work for brunettes—at least according to the ads—on platinum hair the colors really pop. Like, they’re so bright that Sky decided to do multiple colors.

Sky FerreiraRedken


Because the applicator tip is so small, you can do, um, rather elaborate decorating, like painting either side of your braided undercut. If my hair looked like this for one second of one day, I’d be happy for the rest of my life.

You can check out the full line (and buy a shade, if you so choose!) on Redken’s website. Try ‘em all and hope for rainbow hair like ...

The 12 Weirdest Disney Movie Characters

by 19 mins ago

A lot of weird stuff went down in those classic Disney animated movies you loved growing up, but most of it got chalked up to stuff like whimsy or being part of a fairy tale.

If you take a step back, some of those characters were really messed up, socially irresponsible and throwers of shade, so here is my way too serious look at the strangest characters in Disney movies.

Sneezy in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”

Sneezy, it’s time to get whatever is going on here checked out. Why the hell are you sneezing so much? You’re a working adult. Go to the doctor. Don’t insist that the six other dwarves be okay with you spreading disease constantly.

Lady Tremaine in “Cinderella”

Seriously, who lives through the death of a spouse and then says to their dead husband’s only daughter “You’re a slave now”? The f–k? (Also, she gets a wand in “Cinderella III”? Also, there’s a “Cinderella 3″?)

Doorknob in “Alice in Wonderland”

From a biological standpoint, I have no idea what’s happening here. Worse than that, we have an anthropomorphized Home Depot purchase that tricks young girls into drinking vaguely labeled potions.

George Darling in “Peter Pan”

What is up with Nana? The father of Wendy, Michael and John have a dog that’s responsible for making the bed, cleaning up and dispensing medicine to the children. And yet, he gets mad because the dog stays in the house and occasionally acts like a dog.

Si and Am in “Lady and the ...

There’s Finally A Reason To Get Excited For ‘Ghostbusters 3′

by 22 mins ago

Fans of funny women, funny comedy, funny women in comedy, ghosts and slime should rejoice, because that female-centric “Ghostbusters” reboot is officially happening:

Woo-hoo!

In case you were wondering, yes, that Tweet came directly from the account of Paul Feig, who famously directed “Bridesmaides” and “The Heat.” He also helped launch Melissa McCarthy into mainstream stardom, and we’d be willing to bet that ridiculously expensive dress Maya Rudolph tried on that McCarthy will be part of this new class of ‘Busters. (For the record, Bill Murray has already approved that choice.)

“The Heat” and “Parks and Recreation” writer Katie Dippold will pen the script, adding to our hope that Amy Poehler and/or Sandra Bullock might turn up in this long-awaited project as well.

Now excuse us as we refresh Fandango.com until we can officially see this movie.
