Despite rumors persisting in the days since their ESPY Awards outing, Christina Milian swears she is not dating Lil Wayne. And she told TMZ as much at a celebrity kickball game, hosted by Chris Brown, so you know she’s totally serious.

For those unaware of the doings amongst you, let us break it down: last week Milian and Weezy were seen gettin’ kinda handsy (read: holding hands) at the ESPY Awards.

But apparently that’s all just business, as Milian recently signed with Young Money Entertainment, putting Wayne in the driver’s seat of her career return and roll-out.

Her reaction to the hypothetical question of whether or not she’d ever date a producer or manager was interesting, though:

You never know, eh?? Don’t stop believin’, Weezy/Milian shippers!

A few days ago, the “Straight Outta Compton” casting notice hit the internet, and the racially insensitive and stereotypical language incensed more than a few people. Now, the agency, Sande Alessi Casting, has issued an apology for the language in their call.

Kristan Berona of Sande Alessing wrote in a Facebook post: “I would like to sincerely apologize for recently posting a casting announcement that used offensive language to recruit women for a film our agency is working on. My intention was not to offend anyone and I’m deeply sorry for not realizing the insensitivity in its content.”

Universal Pictures, the film’s studio, issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter about the casting notice. Apparently, the studio was not affiliated with the notice, and didn’t approve or know about the call before it was sent out.

The statement read: “Universal Pictures and the filmmakers for ‘Straight Outta Compton’ did not approve and do not condone the information in this casting notice. We regret and sincerely apologize for being in any way associated with the offensive descriptions it contained.”

For those who missed the outrage, the call divided women by attractiveness from A through D, and included racial descriptions alongside these rankings. It also included a call for male “street thugs” that definitely reinforced stereotypes about who thugs are and what they look like.

The film will be a biopic about the influential rap group N.W.A., who included Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Read More →

Believe it or not, it’s already been almost a year since Royal Baby madness descended upon us!

Thankfully, Prince George seems to be growing up just fine, despite his high profile position. The royal couple released this photo of George walking just a few days before his first birthday on Tuesday (July 22) and have promised two more to come on Monday night.

So adorable! Those little overalls? And look at all that blonde hair! Is it disrespectful to want to pinch the cheek of royalty??

The photo was taken when the young prince was visiting the “Sensational Butterflies” exhibition at the National History Museum in London with his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton, aka the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The first ever portraits of Prince George—taken long before he could walk—were shot by Kate’s father in the Middleton’s backyard in Berkshire. It’s hard to believe how much he’s grown after only a year!

Can’t get enough royal baby coverage? Well then, stand by for those two more additional photos on Monday night.

What happens when you combine two of the sexiest forces in the known world? Looks like we’re about to find out. Taking a break from the staggering whirlwind of her and husband Jay Z‘s “On The Run” tour, Beyoncé posted a brief clip of a “50 Shades of Grey” teaser on her Instagram last night, simultaneously igniting the power of both the BeyHive and the explicit book’s rabid fanbase.

The book by E L James is racy enough that’s it’s already been pulled from library shelves, and as it is converted into a film version, some experts wonder if is too steamy for an R rating and should be bumped up to NC-17.

But Bey doesn’t mind, and from the slowed down, breathy rendition of her signature “Crazy In Love” “uh-oh” it looks like the film might be using a version of the track in its soundtrack.

According to Beyoncé’s Instagram, the full trailer drops this Thursday (July 24), so be on the lookout for that! It’s practically guaranteed to be a #NSFW affair.

Chicago, IL – If I remember this story correctly, my sister went to the very first Pitchfork Music Festival with her now-husband and spent most of the sweltering fest in the record tent. She bought a jazz CD, I think. My sis isn’t that into live music.

If she were here today, however, ma soeur would have been privy to a bevvy of activities to keep her busy while bro-in-law banged his head to Lightning Bolt and Art Brut or whoever it was that was playing the fest back then.

We scoped out some of the myriad things people who dislike music and/or listening to music can do at Pitchfork – aside from shoving things in their mouth holes.

1. Screenprint a T-Shirt

Did you sweat through the shirt you’re wearing? Make a new one!

2. Get a haircut

Radhika Marya

Split ends are a drag and must be eradicated ASAP.

3. Marvel at some ancient technology

What do these little boxes do? JK! I know! They make fun noises when you bash them together, right?

4. Hug a Twinkie

Embrace nostalgia. Literally.

5. Play some games

You know, with something other than someone else’s heart.

6. Try on clothes

Trust me, you could probably look more alt.

7. Hang out with Marnie The Dog

Marnie will be jetting around the fest all weekend — try and catch her! She’s like the wind.

Adam Levine, 35, and his bride-to-be Victoria Secret model Behati Prinsloo, 25, have officially tied the knot! In a ceremony today (July 19) at Flora Farms in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, E! exclusively confirmed that the pair exchanged their vows and are now well on their way to becoming an old married couple.

Levine wore a fitted tux and Prinsoloo wore a gown by Marchesa. The wedding party consisted of Coco Rocha, a fellow model on the bride’s side and Jesse Carmichael, Levine’s bandmate from Maroon 5, who served as the best man.

Instead of gifts, the couple ask that guests make donation to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

The celebration began last night with a beachside party for about 100 guests. The guests were shuttled from their hotel to El Dorado for a party that took place in front of Mike Meldman’s home. Guests for the pre-wedding festivities included Jason Segal, Jonah Hill and Erin Heatherston. During the reception, Stevie Nicks also performed for the newlyweds and their guests. The pair have planned a honeymoon in South Africa.

The couple began dating approximately two years ago shortly after Levine split from his former girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna. After getting together, the pair called things off for a few months before reconciling, and deciding to get married. About a year ago, Levine proposed to Prinsloo—even asking for her father’s permission! Awww, adorable.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

An Indianapolis pit bull named Ace has officially become a hero! The AP reports that the dog saved his 13-year-old deaf owner, Nick Lamb, by licking his face repeatedly until he woke up.

“My dog licked my face and woke me up, I was like, ‘Stop it! What? You want to be fed?’” Lamb said. “I thought he wanted to be fed or go outside. I couldn’t hear anything because I had my cochlear implants off [but] my dog Ace smelled it. I just wanted to get out.”

Lamb was home alone at the time of the fire, and was sleeping without his hearing aids, so odds are he probably wouldn’t have heard the commotion until it was too late. After Ace woke him up, Lamb escaped the house by covering his face with his shirt. He even managed to grab one of his hearing aids on the rush out the door —- but no shoes!

Proceeding to call his mother and 911, Lamb, who was born deaf, told firefighters that he had just returned from summer camp three days prior. This was the first summer he’d been deemed old enough by his mother, Lindsay Bernard, to stay home alone. His mother credited Ace for saving her son’s life.

“It’s amazing, because if he wouldn’t have been there, he probably wouldn’t have even woke up,” she said. Watch a video of Nick and his mother discussing the fire below. All in all, the fire is estimated to have caused ...

Chicago, IL – Rock posters don’t always have to feature dewey-eyed boys in leather jackets squinting at the camera whilst wearing tight jeans and sad, sad smirks. Sometimes, they can be works of art — at least at Pitchfork Music Festival, where they have the most drool-worthy collection of concert posters we’ve ever seen in our various meanderings.

With hands firmly crossed in front of us — so as not to have too easy access to wallets — my trusty photog Radhika and I gazed like children in a sea of frolicking puppies at the many glorious and brightly colored poster arrayed at the fest.

We’ve got a peek at the goods below. Those at home, feel thankful that your wallets are not as empty as mine currently is. Top Ramen, here I come.

This Weeknd poster is bringing back some House Of Balloons memories…

Snakes on a poster

I bought that Bill Callahan poster (The middle yellow one!)

Obligatory cat shirt photo

These Avett Brothers posters are as lovely as their tunes

I don’t even know where to look, but Sharon Van Etten rules!

For people who love Grace Potter AND sports

Modest Mouse? Try ‘Way Badass Monster’ Mouse

This is probably the coolest Dave Matthews Band has ever been

So many amazing St. Vincent posters, so little money!

Legendary Beach Boys producer Brian Wilson is teaming up with a whole team of pop stars for his brand-new album. When the Beach Boys reunion that began in 2012 was called off due to internal conflict, it looked like Wilson might shelve his new material.

It was a shock,” Wilson told Rolling Stone. “I was so proud of how the Boys were singing. Then it just ended. I was writing for the Boys, so I thought, ‘What am I gonna do without them?’”

Instead of calling it quits altogether, he re-grouped with new collaborators. Lana Del Rey, Kacey Musgraves, Frank Ocean and Zooey Deschanel have all been in the studio with Wilson working on his as-yet untitled album. Ocean rapped on a song called “Special Love” that is still unfinished, Kacey Musgraves did three takes for “Guess You Had to Be There” and Nate Ruess of fun. is also on a track.

The Ocean track might not make the album, but Wilson loved Nate’s voice, comparing him to his brother and fellow Beach Boys member, Carl Wilson.

As for Lana? She worked with Brian on a track called “Last Song,” which will serve as the album’s centerpiece. There’s a version with Wilson on lead vocals, and an alternate one with Del Rey as the primary vocalist. Wilson wrote the song about his sadness over the Beach Boys’ breakup.

Brian, we love you, but we’re rooting for Lana’s version! That kind of celebrity sadness seems ...

Yes, “Game of Thrones” is a show that focuses on medieval royalty in a mythical, fictional kingdom. But that doesn’t mean that the hit show hasn’t found fans in IRL royalty—or at least, the royal guards!

A Reddit user posted this video of the Queen’s Guards in London performing the show’s theme song, and the live, dramatic rendition is enough to excite casual watchers and super fans alike.

The guards surprised the crowd outside of Buckingham Palace during the changing of the guards, and even if the in-person cheers were few and far between, The Internet as a collective is sure to go wild when they hear this.

HBO, have you heard this? Might be good to use in Season 5, just saying!
