Check out the young and talented Willow Smith in her new video, “I Am Me” premiered last night during the BET Awards. This is definitely a great song I love the message and she sounds amazing, her voice is so powerful for someone so young and tiny
Tell me what you think!

It’s not every day you see Amber Rose wearing clothing that hides her figure but on this particular day her and her fiancee Wiz Khalifa arrived at the Vegas airport and she was sporting a loose fitted dress! Also her Wiz talk about starting a family in every interview, so one can’t help but to think she is possibly covering up a slight baby bump! I’m not sure but I will be keeping an eye out for any signs of pregnancy! By the way I think they’re a cute couple and I love the way they adore each other!
Yesterday, the 2012 BET Awards nominations were announced during a press conference in New York City which was attended by the likes of Melanie Fiona, Big Sean, Diggy Simmons, DJ Khaled, ASTRO and A$AP Rocky. And it’s no surprise that the usual suspects like Kanye West and Beyonce are leading the pack this year.
Kanye West snagged 7 nominations, six of which he shares with Jay-z which included Best Group, Best Video (N-ggas In Paris & Otis ) Best Collaboration (Otis), Viewers Choice Award for ‘Otis’, and Best Video Director. He also snagged a another nod for Best Collab for his work with Big Sean and Roscoe Dash on ‘Marvin & Chardonnay’. Beyonce joined Kanye West in The Best Video Director category and snagged addition nominations for Video Of The Year (Love On Top & Countdown), Best Collaboration (‘Party’ featuring J Cole) and Best Female R&B Artist. Chris Brown trailed Beyonce with three nods which included Best Video Director, The Viewer’s Choice Award and Best R&B Male Artist.
Semi newcomer J. Cole didn’t make the cut for Best New Artist, however, he snagged another nomination in the Best Rap Artist category along with Big Sean, Drake, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Other interesting categories include Best Female Rapper which included Nicki Minaj, Trina, Diamond and Briana Perry and Best Group which included Bad Meets Evil, Diddy-Dirty Money, Maybach Music Group, Mindless Behavior and The Throne.
Samuel L.

Give it up for Chris Brown’s performance at the Billboard Music Awards 2012, which is always a site to see! Although I’m not a fan lip-synching we all know the boy is capable of dancing and singing at the same time so cut him some slack! People are always looking for the negative in this man. Does he have flaws? YES! But he is talented so focus on that when you watch him perform!

From the moment she stepped into the spotlight, Beyoncé has been the center of her fair share of rumors.
But even PEOPLE’s 2012 Most Beautiful Woman was caught off guard when, while pregnant with her first child, whispers started swirling that she and husband Jay-Z had settled on a surrogate to carry their daughter.
“That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy,” the songstress, 30, tells PEOPLE. “[I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”
But perhaps the person most affected by the surrogacy speculation was not the expectant mom herself, but rather her own mother, Tina Knowles.
“I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months,” she says. ”As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”
Alluding to an Australian interview in which it was later suggested that Beyoncé had been sporting a prosthetic bump, Knowles says, “It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid.”

I don’t know about you but Tupac’s hologram performance at Coachella Music and Arts Festival was kind of creepy to me! In the words of my cousin, “What disturbed ass individual did that…Where was Jesus?” LOL! Well to answer her question Dr. Dre used some type of exclusive technology to make Tupac show up and perform, “Hail Mary, Gangsta Party, and 2 Of Amerika’z Most Wanted.” If you didn’t get a chance to see the performance take a look at the video below!
