Rapper T.I.

The Rapper T.I. has revealed that he would rather be an Actor than a Rapper.

The Los Angeles Times has quoted the rapper as saying;

"I ain't made no money in movies yet, because of the fact that a movie usually takes about three or four months to film. At the time of American Gangster, I was getting $100,000 (£64,459) a show and doing four to five shows a week. And I only probably got $100,000 for American Gangster, something like that. But I didn't mind. I wanted to do it....I'd rather be acting full-time at 40 than rapping full-time at 40. I just think... it's more suited for a teenager than a 40-year-old. My values, principals, beliefs and things I consider important are worlds away from where they was (sic) when I just came in the game...Some people see me as a distinguished young gentleman entering into the next phase of manhood, and some people see me as a young drug dealer-slash-thug who has managed to make his way into the entertainment industry. It just depends on who you ask...."

It is also important to note that his recent film has top the box office, beating "The Last Exorcism" by just $150,000. As a result, TI was quoted as saying that there's a prequel in the works.

The rapper revealed the following to BET: "I just got off the phone with the director, writer, the head of Screen Gems and the label heads over at Sony...We are working not a sequel, but a prequel to tell the back story of the characters."

Nicki Minaj

"...You don't have to do that. You don't have to get onstage and tell people to pay homage..." Quoting: Drake

People Magazine listed five things you should know about the rapper...click here.

Here's the first one:

1. She had a rough upbringing

Her lyrics may be silly and carefree, but growing up was anything but lighthearted for Minaj. "[My dad] drank a lot and did drugs, and would get violent when he did," she told Details in May. "He set fire to the house, [and] was attempting to kill my mother. She got out before it burned all the way down. I've always had this female-empowerment thing in the back of my mind…I thought, 'If I'm successful, I can change her life.'"

Solange Knowles

...She's a Singer, Dancer, Actress, DJ and Photographer???

The artist, Solange Knowles posted the above photo on...her Damn Blog - today.

Destiny Child

It seems as if Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles differs on reuniting the group "Destiny Child".

The members remain close, but will not reunite as a group" and Kelly Rowland was recently quoted as saying, "...if the fans wanted it to happen...".

Rihanna

The actress Taylor Momsen from the hit series Gossip Girls has slammed the singer Rihanna for confusing pop with the Rock culture.

Taylor Momsen has stated on the Spin website that, "People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna‘s wearing f– leather jackets, and it’s really annoying..." - Ouch!

It seems as if Taylor is standing up for Rock music and she's asking Rihanna to stay in her own lane...

Mariah Carey

...Performed for a sold-out crowd at the Festa Do Peão de Boiadeiros (Cowboy Festival) in Barretos, São Paulo, Brazil tonight and also revealed a pretty obvious baby bump.

Beyonce

...was recently quoted as stating that she has been inspired by her surroundings to assist with her lyrical abilities. Well, it seems as if she has forgotten that Josh Owen was recently signed by Jay-Z for Roc Nation to write songs for the singer or maybe she wasn't informed that the deal has been signed and sealed.

According to Reports:

Josh Owen, 25, has just signed a publishing deal with the huge (record) label (Roc Nation) - even though he only set out to get the odd job as a session guitarist.

Josh, from Glasgow, told Email: "It is quite hard to believe all this. They have people like Beyonce, Rihanna, the Ting Tings. Big players. For a lad writing demos in his studio in Glasgow to be connected with the biggest American stars is amazing.

"Roc Nation's plan is for me to write for these massive stars. I get an email each week asking me to write such and such a song for a certain artist....

Beyonce

Beyonce Knowles handler's are seeking to pull the above picture from off the internet. Underground conversations are revealing that recent pictures of the celebrity were actually images taken from a ritualistic photo shoot. To cover up the leak, most of these pictures were cropped and quickly labeled, "courtesy of Dereon".

However, in the image above, the singer is showcasing pagan tattoos. You see, pagan tattoos are a sign of "ownership" by a false GOD. This means that the singer has been marked for life as a pagan; for the entire world to notice.



Unfortunately, these images were to be forwarded to a group of Pagan followers - not media outlets.

The tattoo on the singers back directs the Pagan followers to her group of handlers.

Here are more images from that ritualistic photo shoot:

Patti Labelle

"After seeing the show, I was struck by the choreography and work of Bill T. Jones, and the passion and joy that overflows from the stage" Quoting: Patti Labelle

Jay-Z, Will and Jada Smith should be thrilled about this news. Patti Labelle has joined the cast of "Fela".

As reported:

LaBelle joins the musical in September and will stay with the show until Jan. 2, when the production is now set to shutter. Addition of the high-profile music name, which may attract new auds to the show, betters the production's odds of recouping before it closes.

LaBelle will portray the mother of the central character in the bio-tuner about the life of Nigerian activist and Afrobeat musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Rihanna

Maybe this will teach you all to translate foreign words to grasp the true meaning...

Sigh...

The Pop Singer Rihanna has obtained her 15th body art tattoo (In french tattoo means "tatouage"). This time around, she has the word "Rebelle Fleur" tattoo on her neck. If you translate "Rebelle Fleur" from French to English you will get "Rebel Flower".

The most common term in French is "Belle Fleur" and the English translation reads "Beautiful Flower". Rihanna doesn't think of herself as a "beautiful flower" instead, she want you to view her as a "Rebel Flower".

Langston Issa Fishburne

While sister Montana Isis Fishburne is out promoting her porno flicks, her brother "Langston" is performing professionally as a ballet dancer and dance instructor.

His bio reads:

Langston Fishburne grew up in New York where he studied ballet with Anastasia Edery, and Christian Classens. At Boston University Langston performed with Dance Theatre Group and studied with Margot Parsons. He graduated in May 2009 with a degree in journalism. Langston has performed as a soloist with Ballet Rox in Boston, MA under the direction of Tony Williams in his popular "Urban Nutcracker." He has also appeared in performances with Dance Visions in Cambridge, MA. Langston was also seen on MTV's "Made" as an assistant dance coach...

According to many websites, Laurence Fishburne married Hajna Moss (Montana and Langston's Mother) when he was 26 years old. At the time, Haja was a casting director, now she's a well known fitness instructor.

It was also reported that Hajna is very supportive of her daughter's interest in the porn industry...

This family tree is rather interesting...

Gina Torres:

Where are you? Why are you hiding? Why are you raising Forrest Whitaker's Daughter? When you were married to Laurence Fishbourne, did you raise his daughter? Hold on...are you Montana's mother?

Gina...where are you???

As many websites post graphic details regarding porno tapes linked to Mr. Fishbourne's daughter, one must question his former wife's presence in her life...

Tiffany Monique

..has finally branched out on her own.

According to Reports:

As a member of Beyonce's background vocalist trio "The Mamas," performing in front of a large audience is nothing new. But one of its members, independent recording artist / songwriter Tiffany Monique, is quickly amassing a large following of her own.

Tiffany Monique's debut EP, Nemesis, was released worldwide on June 15, 2010. This powerful debut is a five-track gem that highlights Tiffany's stylistic diversity and takes chances while still managing to embrace the power of traditional soul.
