Video – Neighbors Know My Name – Trey Songz

Posted on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 at 11:34 am

Last night “106th & Park” debuted Trey Songz’ new video, “Neighbors Know My Name”…

Trey Songz can make a grown woman blush. *smiles* The lucky woman in this video is none other than Victoria Secret model Jessica White.

I am not sure if you heard or not, but there have been a few rumors going around that Trey might be “swinging for the same team”…OH-EMMM-GEEE!!! No worries, Trey quickly nipped that in the bud.

During a recent radio interview he explained:

“You gotta ignore stuff like that, being an artist, because people are gonna say stuff about me daily. I’m so far from gay. The bigger I get, the more [stuff is said] about me. It’s cool with me.”

You go baby boy!…but umm really please don’t disappoint me!

And if you’re a Trey fan, you can catch him on the Blueprint Three tour with Jay-Z.

Estelle In “Blackface”???

Posted on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 11:01 am

At first glance you may ask, “Is she in blackface?”

Estelle is catching a lot of heat because of this sneak peak of her new video “Freak.” The video was directed by Kanye West collaborator Nabil Elderkin, so you already there was going to be some crazy “off-the-wall” ishh going on.

Estelle tells MTV that criticism of the video for her new single “Freak” is “silly”:

“I think they need to wait to see the clip. I could defend myself, but it’s just silly. I’m black, so how do I do blackface? Missy [Elliott] did the same thing [with her video] ‘She’s a Bitch.’ I refuse to defend it, I didn’t put any white ring around my mouth — never that.”

Estelle’s new album “All of Me” is due out this summer.

I must say, it does seems that Estelle is in posing in blackface, but then again isn’t this just art?

***Notice how they ripped down the video with the quickness! SMH

New Kanye: “Coldest Winter”

Posted on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 10:14 am

Before I begin…Kanye are you ok?

This depressing masterpiece definitely has me giving him the side eye. Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the video depicts a poor girl running for her life in a cold dark forest to only fall to her death… flat out morbid.

Now according to MTV, this video was inspired by the loss Kanye’s mother and of course, former fiancee Alexis…hmmph I still don’t know how I feel about it.

What do you think? Is Kanye one foot in the psych ward?

Tidbits & Morsels

Sade is now “GOLD” status…

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Sade’s new album Soldier of Love has sold 501,665 units in its first week.

Kudos to SADE!

Another songstress in the spotlight, is now making her way to the big screen…

It has been reported that Rih Rih has been cast as Vanity in the upcoming remake of “The Last Dragon.”

In case you don’t remember, she’s playing a character who is considered to be super sexy on some super kinky dominatrix ish, which is right up her alley.

On the topic of TV…I wonder what Holyfield’s wife, Candi, is REALLY up to…

A few days ago Candi filed a restraining order against Evander Holyfield for putting his hands on her because she complained about the heat in their mansion being cut off.

Now the couple has decided to consult Dr. Phil about their marital problems and she’s dropped the restraining order against him.

The couple said:

“We are in agreement that we both are moving forward to reach out to meet with Dr. Phil one-on-one as we believe he is the one who can help us at this time…We each admire and respect Dr. Phil for his down to earth and heartfelt approach in working with couples and relationships in a positive and uplifting way.”

Aww SAVE it! We know ya’ll are trying to jump on the “I-want-a-reality-show” bandwagon.

Don’t you agree?

Well whatever happens, I am sure it will be a “knock-out!”
