R.I.P. Dj AM

Another Hollywood Angel has fallen. Adam Goldstein, aka Dj AM, could not cheat death the second time around. "Goldstein was found dead Friday evening at age 36 in his Manhattan apartment, where police found a crack pipe and prescription pills. He had been dealing with burn injuries received in the airplane crash and post-traumatic stress disorder he'd developed afterward" according to the Inquirer.

Dj AM worked hard at his battle with drugs and was in the works to filming an MTV Network special called "Gone Too Far". He kept all the celebs dancing, and shared his gift at the best clubs and parties. And I'm sure he will be dearly missed.

"New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems."

Kanye Shocks The World!

Kanye put on a great show with amazing "mtv unplugged" energy for the G-Shock Shock The World event that revealed new collections of G-Shocks, according to MTV.com. With Amber Rose waiting in the wings, Kanye delivered an hour long set to a well rounded crowd that included Dawn Richards, Ivanka Trump, Tory Burch, and Estelle among others. The show shut down the New York Wall Street area and turned it into Casio heaven revealing collaborations between Redman, tattoo artist Mister Cartoon and skateboarder Stevie Williams (hipsters all jump for joy).

Everyone suspects that the Kanye performance was the preview of his upcoming tour with Lady Gaga, if true...seems we're all in for a treat! Be on the look out for tour dates and the new G-shocks coming to a store near you.

Get Into The Cataracs

I'm dying right now! I'm currently listening to The Cataracs version "Ice Cream Paint Job" and they are killing it!!! OMG! Ok originally I was just gonna tell you about their new video "Club Love" (which is also the ish) but you HAVE to go over to myspace and check out all their other music. The Berkeley duo has been underground for a few years, but I feel their buzz is at it's peak and they're knocking on mainstreams door. But mainstream is gonna have to do some adjusting to get use to the sound of these guys. They blend almost every genre to create a unique sound that I just categorize as dope. So before you check out their myspace like I'm urging you to do check out this video to get hooked too.

House of Jazmin

Introducing Jazmin. A young California designer with a full fledge label called Li Cari. You'll be seeing a lot more of Jazmin now because she now has her own reality show on MTV called House of Jazmin. We have the pleasure of following Jazmin around L.A. as she runs her line and takes it to the next level. The networks are really taking advantage of everyones new found love for fashion...no complaints here, I'll keep tuning in.

Check out Jazmin Aug. 18th at 10:30pm

Boom!

Came across this song and thought it was pretty cool. Boom is by Anjulie, one of MTVU's Freshman 5.

"Drawing influence from her unique South American background, Anjulie’s music is peppered with the cultural influence of Afro-Caribbean calypso, reggae, and South American Latin music. Her start in the industry begin as an intern, grew into songwriting, and has now culminated with a self-titled debut album. Anjulie seeks to truly reveal a very secret personal side in the tracks, combining the confessional quality with her ability to blend genres and produce the perfect pop sound."

Gotta love a song with "boom shaka-laka" (click the pic to see the video)

Kelis x4

After Danity Kane(R.I.P.) I really wasn't interested in female groups...just at the simple fact that I thought they were Thee Dopest things ever created, lol.

Buuuuuuut! There is a group of upcoming girls that have caught my attention and made me rethink my "DK or Die" way of thinking. I'm pretty sure you all have heard of sexy girl group Electrik Red. Their video "So Good" was all over MTV for a while, which is where I first heard of them. The song + video is hott as hell, but I just thought of them as a one-hit wonder...MY BAD! These BK and Toronto natives are stepping in the music scene with a "blitz of lashes, lipstick, and laughter." Group members include Kyndra “Binkie” Reevey, Naomi Allen, Lesley Lewis, and Sarah Rosete. But before E.R. was formed these girls were still on the scene, performing as dancers and models alongside artists like Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Ciara—they appeared in her 2007 “Like a Boy” video together. I don't even know the girls personally but from interviews I've read about the girls, my favorite has to be Kyndra a.k.a Binkie. Check what she was quoted saying in a Vibe.com interview - “Together, we’re a really ridiculous force of feminine juice that’s ready to be squeezed all over the industry. And you’re not gonna be able to stop it, whether you spit or swallow.” Their raunchy but still feminine style reminds me soo much of Kelis (if you're reading this Kelis, please come back out!!)

They have their debut album out NOW & I promise it's worth your $10. Or you can pick it up at amazon.com. What are you waiting on?! HURRY UP AND BUY!!!


"Little boy, don't try to show out when ya little boys come to the house. Or I'll walk around this b*tch in my Louboutin heels with my a** hanging out!"

Did You See???

OMG! Did you see Eminem almost flip out at the MTV Movie Awards??? I was watching saying to myself "oh no...this was not apart of the plans". So if you didn't catch it, basically a guy came down from the rafters wearing angel wings and a thong. While trying to land...he ended up landing in the lap of Eminem with his junk all in Eminem's face! They were like junk to face, junk to face...and remember this guy had on a thong...so Eminem was pissed to say the least!! He ordered his entourage to get the guy off of him and they stormed out. I'm surprised it didn't end worst (Em rolls with some killa's I'm sure).

Wonder if he'll ever appear on MTV again???

Bad move show producers....bad move.

Poor Whitney :-(

So I just got finish watching yesterday's episode of The City and I feel soooo bad for Whitney. She is going through hell in NYC. Between Olivia and Jay that girl is gonna have a nervous break down. If you haven't been watching here's a very brief recap...Olivia is the co-worker from hell and Jay is the sneaky lying boyfriend that basically moved himself into Whitney's apartment and then stays out all freaking night with his ex-girlfriend!!!!!!!! OMG Whitney needs to bring out her ghetto black girl side or else she's just gonna continue to get walked all over!...And Olivia is like a real life Blair Waldorf(Gossip Girls), lying to get ahead and stomping over any and everyone to get to the top, like she's not already there. This is a complete 180 from her life on The Hills...I know she's probably thinking "What the heck did I get myself into???"

Our Prayers go out to you Whit, lol

Daddy's Girls

I love these girls! Their show, even though it's so obviously scripted and they plug pastry's in every camera shot, is very entertaining. I just really watch to look at Angela's and Aleycia's hair. Omg it's like the most super silky yaky goodness I've ever seen in my life. I'd hate to see the price tag on it. And their cousin, Jessica, is hilarious and a bit butch...but we're gonna overlook that. I'm glad to see them branching out and becoming independent and expanding their brand, but my real concern is why the heck would TK break up with my girl Angela??? Is he crazy? I guess this is a case for Cece to explain, lol.

Tune in on Monday nights to see Daddy's Girls

Who Will It Be???

Well I know you heard like I heard...somebody WILL NOT!...be in Danity Kane any longer, and OMG the suspense is killing me! I know we all believe it will be Aubrey but I just don't think Diddy will be that predictable. He knows how to play with our heads and keep us watching. It could be Dawn...I definitely hope not...but she could be a stand alone artist, I would buy her album, and I did hear some things about her doing a solo project...so you never know. But let's really sit and think about this, if someone leaves the group, that leads to Diddy being able to do yet another Making The Band season to find a replacement girl, and a replacement girl leads to all sorts of other issues like her living up to the performance of the last girl...her meshing well with the rest of the girls...and her breaking that "new girl" title. Of course this is all just a theory but I wouldn't be surprised. Well Tuesday we shall all find out who gets put out on the chopping block.

I don't know about you but I'm clearing my schedule.

VMA's aka The Britney Spears Show

OMG! MTV kissed mega butt this year. I guess they were making up for embarrassing Ms. Spears last year, but I swear it felt like they said her name every time they had a chance. She won three moonmen and they were the first moonmen she ever won, and believe me...I am just as happy for her as the next Britney lover, but c'mon I felt like they really over did it, and that the actual awards given out were secondary to her appearance.

But I must say she did look amazing! She really came back strong... not a speck of noticeable craziness. Everyone goes through tough times and it's good to see she actually made it through...because a lot of people don't. Now I must say the performance the at least kept my attention was Christina Aguilera (even though she still has a little unsightly baby weight), OH! And Kanye! Kanye did a really really nice job, I felt a little proud of him for some reason. And if anyone figures out what kind of shirt that was that Lupe had on please let me know. Never mind I'll just ask him myself...that is my bf after all :-).

Ye Changes His Mind

Kanye told anybody with ears last year that he would not appear on MTV again after he felt like they played him last year at the VMA's. But obviously they kissed and made up because Mr. West is confirmed to close the show this year. I understand why he didn't want to appear on MTV again but sometimes you just have to suck it up and make it happen, because I'm sure MTV has contributed just a tad to all his success.

Ye is rebuilding the bridges he burned. Nothing wrong with that.

Hollywood Crazy's

This season of The Real World is the farthest thing from real that I've ever seen. Fights every other second, hook ups with strange people, hook ups with each others people...I mean this stuff couldn't happen in "The Real World" if it wanted to. I normally don't watch TRW, I probably haven't watched it like this since the season with ole dude singing "Come and be my baby tonite"...y'all remember that. Anyway I was glued to the tv set earlier today, partly because Will is gorgeous when he pulls those dreads back, and because they had the most hilarious pop ups on the screen commenting on everything the nutty cast did. I must say, only in Hollywood does one roommate goes to rehab, and two others admit to addiction (Sarah was Anemic, and Bri did coke and meth...along with everything and body else). And I'm not gonna even talk about Greg The Chosen One and his "peasants", for some reason I find him really funny and I like that he pisses everyone off with his sarcasm...seems like Will's gonna let him have it though.


Let's see how the drama unfolds...
