While the Grammys were full of plenty of hot mess to go around, one positive to come out of the event was the apparent end to the Common/Drake beef. You can breathe a sigh of relief, folks! This vicious war has finally come to an end! The fact that I’m reporting on this more than a week later shows how little people were probably interested in it, but I digress.
Even though Adele seems unstoppable in the US, and even won the Album of the Year award in her native England at the BRIT Awards — they might not be here for her quite like we are.
Yesterday during the awards show, Adele was about 30 seconds into a triumphant acceptance speech when they snatched the mic from ol’ girl and told her to keep it pushin’. DAMN! At least over here we play some nice elevator music to signify that you need to hurry your ass up. Straight ruthless!
How did Adele respond? Hit the jump to watch the video and find out.
Jay-Z once famously said “Men lie, women lie… numbers don’t.” And Shakira said that her hips don’t lie. So, in a way this was sort of destined… or something.
Shakira is now signed to Jigga’s Roc Nation management firm, where she will join the likes of J. Cole, Jay Electronica, Melanie Fiona, Santigold, Wale and Willow Smith. One client who may be getting the boot after recent questionable behavior is Rihanna, but that’s neither here nor there.
Congrats to both Shakira and Jay on the new business venture!

It’s been a whirlwind week for both Rihanna and Chris Brown, and both young stars show no signs of slowing down on the attention-grabbing antics. That Chrianna Reign just won’t let up! We reported earlier that Chris will appear on the full version to Rihanna’s eagerly anticipated “Birthday Cake”, as well as the fact that Chris attended Rih’s birthday celebration on some “more than just friends” ish.
Predictably, this has left the fanbase and blogosphere divided, but both singers are making it clear on their respective Twitters that they are deficient of f*cks to give. And here’s the latest tidbit — Rihanna may be returning the remix favor by blessing Chris’ “Turn Up the Music”.
Robin Thicke has been arrested for possession of marijuana.
The singer was busted in NYC near Madison Square Park, where officers caught him lighting up in the back of his SUV. More from TMZ:
Sources tell TMZ, Robin was extremely cooperative — and even signed a couple autographs. Thicke was given a desk appearance ticket and released soon after. A rep for Robin Thicke had no comment.
Welp! Sounds like he was in a good mood when he got arrested — I wonder why?
Chris Brown‘s first post-Grammy win video has arrived with these visuals from his latest, “Turn Up the Music”. In the video, Breezy parties at a warehouse (in the future, or something) with Furries and other interestingly-disguised individuals. All righty then! Hit the jump to view the video.
This week’s throwback comes courtesy of four dudes from Atlanta who could sing… and a guy named Lil’ Zane. Been a long time since you heard that name, I bet? 112‘s “Anywhere” marked the transition for the group from romantic softies to predominantly “get it in”-themed songs (see: the similarly themed “Peaches & Cream”).
In any event, 112 were one of the better R&B groups active in the late ’90s and early ’00s and also one of the more successful acts on Bad Boy Records. Nowadays, the group is performing as a trio and recording a comeback album.
