Is Drake Rapping About Rihanna On ‘Days In The East?’ 4 Hints That He Might Be

Drake had a couple things to say to Jay Z on his , and on his new slow jam "Days in the East," it sure sounds like he's got Rihanna on the brain.

Drizzy released the track, co-produced by PARTYNEXTDOOR and 40, on his OVO Blog early Thursday morning (April 4). It's not the first time (and likely not the last time) that we'll hear him griping about his relationships on wax, but a few lines seem to be written with Rihanna in mind.

The song opens with him wondering why the girl he's currently with, wants to question him about other women, and while this could be referring to anyone, there are a few suggestive lines.

In the song he includes background vocals pulled directly from Rihanna's song "Stay." While he doesn't sing it himself, the line, "I threw my hands in the air and said show me something," is clearly audible.

Elsewhere he raps, "Ain't the first time cause I've lost you before/Had to get it back." Drake's brief romance with Rihanna has been well-publicized, and though he's maintained that they're just friends, they've been spending plenty of time together in Europe recently while he wrapped up his tour.

They were spotted in Amsterdam and London together just last month, so it only fuels speculation when he spits, "Take a flight here, pop a Xan for the boy/Waking up in Amsterdam with the boy."

And if you follow Rihanna on Instagram, you've certainly see her post photos of the freebies she receives from brands like Chanel. So one more line that ...

Is Wu-Tang’s New Album Worth $5 Million?

When Wu-Tang Clan announced that they'd be releasing a single copy of their upcoming album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, some wondered how it would be received. Well, it seems like they're about to cash in.

"Offers came in at $2 million, somebody offered $5 million yesterday," RZA told Billboard this week. "I've been getting a lot of e-mails: some from people I know, some from people I don't know, and they're also e-mailing other members of my organization."

It's not just that they'll be pressing only one hard copy — or that its price may tip into the multi-millions — that makes this release unique. Last month, RZA revealed plans to put the album on display at museums for its initial release. Fans will be able to pay an entrance fee, likely between $30 and $50, to absorb the project in the same space they would any other exhibit.

"The idea that music is art has been something we advocated for years," he told Forbes in March. "And yet it doesn't receive the same treatment as art in the sense of the value of what it is, especially nowadays when it's been devalued and diminished to almost the point that it has to be given away for free."

The 31-track album will travel and be housed in a special handcrafted case, and initial reports say that all of the Staten Island group's members will appear on it. The other project they've got in the works, A Better Tomorrow, is scheduled to drop this summer. As for ...

Kris And Bruce Jenner Back Together? This Photo Says Yes

Could it be that the couple that vacations together gets back together?

Following a family trip to Thailand, Kris and Bruce Jenner were spotted looking more like husband and wife rather than a couple who have been separated for five months.

The couple, who have been married for more than 22 years, were seen holding hands and smiling at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday (April 2) as they arrived home from their week-long Southeast Asia adventure.

Kris and Bruce announced their separation back in October of 2013, stating that although they were ending their marriage, they were not ending their friendship and that the couple were "happier" being apart.

During a recent season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Bruce moved out of his family home into his rented place in Malibu, California, immediately sparking rumors of the separation, which they later confirmed.

Back in February, rumors started swirling that Bruce would no longer be featured on However, Kris debunked those headlines saying that they "film together every day." Clearly that is the case since Bruce, along with his sons Brandon and Brody Jenner, joined Kris, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie on their annual family getaway, an event that is highly anticipated by "KUWTK" viewers.

According to E! news, the family stayed at the Iniala Beach House overlooking the Andaman Sea, where they hit the beach, took in the sights and made us all very jealous with their picturesque selfies in paradise.

7 Reasons Bill Murray Rules At Selfies And We Should All Just Give Up

Bill Murray makes everything better — even the much-debated phenomenon that is the selfie.

Yup, Wednesday night Murray took a selfie to rival all selfies. One that would make your average teenager weep (even more than usual). One that puts Ellen and Barack to shame.

You might as well stop taking pics now because with this Bill Murray snap we have reached the pinnacle, and the rest is downhill from here. Start crying into your Uggs and snap bracelets now. There is nothing left for you here.


The above snap was taken last night at "Late Night With David Letterman" when Murray delighted the assemblage with a surprise appearance and bestowed upon his gracious host a eye-searingly perfect snap. Lady Gaga got up in there, too, because she was performing or something — a performance that could only pale in comparison to Bill's amazing photo-taking skills.

It's like poetry, no? Poetry that renders all lesser writers bereft and sad-replete, as they know they will never compose such succulent lines.

That's right, kids — I'm sorry to inform you that you will never rise to the heights of Murray's genius, so you best put your efforts into some other, lesser form of artistic expression from now on, like making macaroni necklaces or weaving friendship bracelets from gimp.

Here's seven reasons Bill Murray is the selfie king:

1. He Eschews 'Flattering' Camera Angles


Bill Murray doesn't duck face, blue steel or even smile for the gosh-darned camera — no, he stares that thing down. Stares it down until the lens submits to his will, melting ...

A Doctor Explains Why Everyone On ‘Game Of Thrones’ Should Be Dead

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die — or, sometimes, you sustain life-altering horrible injuries that are agony to endure and disgusting to behold!

As anyone who's ever spent a Sunday night glued to HBO's "Game of Thrones" knows, living in Westeros is a risky business. At any moment, you might take a sword to the face, or a screw to the foot, or have your Hodor hodored off by some crazy hodoring bastard.

And yet, strangely enough, most of the show's grievously injured characters are still alive, in some cases seemingly against all odds. But in real life, could they really survive?

We brought in Dr. Deborah Mogelof, a physican with special expertise in trauma, to give us the rundown on "Game of Thrones'" most exciting medical mysteries.


The Face Wounds of Tyrion Lannister
Thanks to a traitorous swordsman, Tyrion's face isn't quite as pretty as it used to be — albeit in better shape than in the source material. In "A Clash of Kings," he loses his entire nose in the Battle of the Blackwater. Our medical source, consulting footage of the petite Lannister's injuries, had this to say.

Dr. Mogelof: Even if the nose were cut off completely, there are no major vessels right there. I've also seen people get their noses shot off and recover.

MTV: So despite getting slashed, it's reasonable for him to still be alive?

Dr. Mogelof: Well, looking at his wound, you can see that golden-yellow kind of crusting to it. It does look like impetigo, which is a staph or strep ...

2 Chainz Charged With Felony For Sizzurp Arrest

2 Chainz is begin charged with a felony drug posession 10 months after being arrested at the Los Angeles airport for possession of codeine, a main ingredient in sizzurp.

The crime is punishable to up to three years in prison, according to TMZ. He is scheduled to be arraigned next week.

On June 11, the 36-year-old rapper — born Tauheed Epps — was arrested for marijuana as he was about to board a plane at LAX. He had less that an ounce of it, but police also found a bottle of promethazine with codeine in his checked bag.

Later that summer, police pulled his tour bus over, suspecting drug use. He later went on about his arrests.

"You're not gonna find a kilo on my bus. You're not gonna find an unregistered reason," he said. "I went to work all last year. I paid taxes. I did everything I was supposed to do. So maybe people need to start aiming at some criminals. For me, I'm cold turkey on all criminal activities. I don't wanna do anything criminal. It's just about wasting your time, my time and taxpayers' money."

This isn't the first time he has been arrested in an airport. In 2012, 2 Chainz was arrested in New York City's LaGuardia Airport for having brass knuckles.

MTV News' request to 2 Chainz for comment has not been returned by press time.

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Video Reveals Ellen Page’s Time-Travel Tricks

In there are several factors in play, from an older generation of "X-Men" actors to the newer era first introduced in "X-Men: First Class." How do these two timelines collide? The answer has been revealed, thanks to some new behind-the-scenes featurettes released this week.

As with the "Days of Future Past" comic book storyline the movie gets its name from, the upcoming "X-Men" movie will see intangible mutant Kitty Pryde play a central role in the story's time-travel component. However, some important modifications have been made between the comic and the forthcoming film.

"Kitty Pryde is a young mutant who has the ability to send a person's consciousness back in time to their younger self," says Ellen Page in a new video, revealing a secondary power for the character best-known for her ability to walk through walls.

Page adds that Charles Xavier and Magneto develop a plan use Kitty to send mutants back in time, as a means of stopping the Sentinels from killing all of the X-Men. "They just hope they can stop all the madness before it has the opportunity to even begin."

There's another wrinkle, however. Until now, Pryde has only been able to send mutants back in time by two or three weeks at the most — and the longer she subjects any one mutant to the time-travel treatment, the weaker both she and the subject become.

And that's where Wolverine comes in.

"Going back a year would normally kill anybody else," says Hugh Jackman, "but Wolverine can heal himself — so he can be sent back 50 ...
