Lady Gaga And Tony Bennett Strip Down For The ‘I Can’t Give You Anything But Love’ Video

by 18 mins ago

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett bring that old jazz back in the video for “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love.”

Set in a recording studio, the clip finds the unlikely duo in their bare essence, Bennett dapper as usual and Gaga devoid of her signature shocking, over-the-top presentation, effortlessly singing the timeless jazz standard.

The footage is a mash-up of different sessions and appearances that seem to contradict the notion that two incongruous performers can’t come together to make beautiful music.

While Gaga is overwhelmingly subdued, her playful energy still shines through as she preens and shimmies to her collaborator’s smooth crooning.

“I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” will be on the duo’s upcoming duets LP, Cheek to Cheek, which is slated to be released on September 23.

Joe Budden Insists That He Isn’t On The Run From Police

by 18 mins ago

Joe Budden has a message for the NYPD and anyone else that believes he’s a wanted man: Guys with pink shirts can’t be on the run.

Despite this weekend’s tweet from New York City’s finest marking Budden as a wanted man, NBC’s Channel 4 News had no problems catching up to the Slaughterhouse MC in front of his New Jersey home.

“You guys found me rather easily,” Joey told the reporter on the scene. “And I’m wearing pink! Who runs wearing pink? I’m not on the run.”

Budden says he turned himself into New Jersey authorities for the domestic violence allegations brought against him last week and was released. He offered to do the same in New York, where he’s wanted on a charge of robbery for allegedly forcibly taking his girlfriend’s cellphone and twisting her arm.

“I’m fully cooperative with everything that’s happening in New Jersey,” Budden said. “I’ve turned myself in, I’ve been released, my lawyers are handling everything else. Whatever needs to be done to rectify the situation, I’m more than willing to comply with.”

‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ Reunion Part 1: Joseline, Stevie J, Benzino Get Ready To Rumble!

by 10 mins ago

“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” fans were overwhelmingly reminded that there’s no such thing as “TMI” during the explosively ratchet part 1 of the juggernaut reality show’s reunion show Monday night.

During VH1′s one-hour broadcast, all of the castmembers’ salacious secrets and misdeeds spilled out into the light.

Turns out, Erica Dixon let her daughter’s father, Lil Scrappy, “go downtown”; Yung Joc explained Karlie Redd’s sexual prowess in graphic detail and, oh yeah, a fight broke out onstage. Security was on hand, but where was Michael Buffer when you needed him?

Prompted by host Sommore, who sat in for show creator and go-to moderator Mona Scott-Young, Scrappy relived his love triangle with Bambi, Erica Pinkett and, surprisingly, Dixon, his former fiancee.

Scrap admitted that he was indecisive when it came to his feelings about the Bam, citing that he was, well, ratchet.

“I’m ratchet, too,” Bambi said. “We just got a ratchet situation.”

Awww, ain’t love grand?

Things got heated when it was time for Erica P — or “aspiring side chick” if you’re the Bam — to chime in for the “miscarriage vs. domestic abuse” argument, but the real meat and potatoes of Scrappy’s “This Is Your Life” segment came by way of his daughter’s mother.

“We weren’t intimate; I just let him taste it,” Erica told producers backstage, clarifying her statement onstage that Scrap made a meal out of her nether region.

Momma Dee’s prince denied it all, of course, setting up the “need” for a lie detector test. Judging by the Read More →

Watch Usher Slap Nicki Minaj On The Ass At The VMAs

by 20 mins ago

Usher’s a man of his word.

The legendary R&B singer promised us he’d do something he’s never done before during his 2014 MTV Video Music Awards performance, and boy did he deliver.

Shortly after debuting a 15-second clip of his new music video, “She Came To Give it to You,” on the VMA red carpet,the Everything You Can Imagine singer took the stage at The Forum in Inglewood, California, Sunday night (August 24) dressed in a white motorcycle jacket, T-shirt and pants to perform the Nicki Minaj-assisted single.

Backed by an energetic live band and dance troupe, the three-time VMA performer released a series of kinetic glides and dance moves that were an expert collaboration of precision and spontaneity.

“I’m so confused, if you only knew/She came to give it to you,” he sang in front of an elaborate digital background.

Minaj, who had already set Twitter abuzz with her bootylicious “Anaconda” performance earlier in the show, entered stage right to spit her verse. As she rapped and gyrated, Usher riffed on the guitar while bumping and then slapping The Pink Print MC’s butt.

Once Nicki and her white fur shawl were off stage, the “Good Kisser” crooner punctuated his performance with an array of signature spin moves. The backup dancers then dropped to the floor and Usher froze as smoke plumed from beneath the stage as if it had just been set on fire.

Sisqo Has A New Single, And No, This Isn’t 1999

by 9 mins ago

Reminder: It is 2014.

And Sisqo just released a new song.

And don’t worry, on “A-List” — his first solo song in 13 years — he’s updated his sound since “Thong Song.” He’s got a trap sounding record, so he got one of the trap’s own, Waka Flocka Flame, to spit a verse.

“Whoa, I get the best of everything/ Cribs, cars, clothes ’cause money ain’t a thang/ Whoa, I been on top of my game/ Way past rich/ ‘Cause I’m A-list in this bitch,” he sings with an assist from Auto-Tune. The Brick Squad MC, meanwhile, opts out of Auto-Tune as he spits, “Spent a hundred racks to put three letters in my damn chain/Just do it big like Ving Rhames.”

“A-List” is slated to land on Sisqo’s upcoming LP, The Last Dragon, out September 9.

Watch The First Five Minutes Of Lifetime’s ‘Saved By The Bell’ Movie

by 1 min ago

For all the “Saved by the Bell” fans who been chomping at the bit to see Lifetime’s highly anticipated “The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story,” it’s your lucky day: The network has released the first five minutes.

The teaser clip begins with cast members discussing their collective angst about the show’s future in the back of a limo in Cincinnati circa 1990.

Worried that the show’s going to be canceled, the six dopplegangers for the real Lisa Turtle, Kelly Kapowski, Jessie Spano, Screech, A.C. Slater and Zach Morris, are relieved when they pull up on a mob of shrieking teenagers holding placards with their names on them.

Right away, though, it’s apparent that this isn’t your normal behind-the-scenes at Bayside High movie after the Screech interrupts Zach’s fourth-wall montage to give his first hand account.

“This time, it’s not about you,” he tells Zach. “This is my story…what really happened behind the scenes of America’s favorite Saturday morning show.”

Tired of hearing about all the bad news from around the world?

Chances are, that’s a yes.

“Together, we can get through this,” said one news anchor, who tells viewers “I love you.” “It’s us against the world, buddy.”

Congratulations, Carson and Siri on your new baby girl!

by 17 mins ago

Congratulations, Pete Wentz, now there’s a Saint in the house.

That’s right, the former Fall Out Bassist and model girlfriend Meagan Camper welcomed a son, Saint Lazslo, into their lives Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, chose to wait until their bundle of joy was born to learn the baby’s sex.

“Mom and baby are happy and healthy,” Wentz’s rep told People. “They are thrilled at the addition to the family and Bronx is over the moon to be a big brother.”

Bronx is Wentz’s 5-year old son from his previous marriage to Ashlee Simpson. Wentz and Camper, who had always intended to start a family together, threw a very chic baby shower back in May.

“What’s more exciting than having the pitter-patter of another little gremlin running around,” Wentz said. “Now it will be two-on-two.”

Congratulations, Pete and Meagan!
