Happy Birthday: Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls celebrated her 30th Birthday in Las Vegas last saturday. Some guests appearances from Polow Da Don , Dwaye Wade, The Pussycat Dolls and Khloe Kardashian. The Pussycat Dolls also had a small performance for everyone that attended the event. 

Candid Shot: Jay-z

Jay-Z performing at Glastonbury UK festival. Despite all the haters and criticism that was circulating around  because they didn't want a rapper at the festival , Jay-Z killed the show and demonstrated that Hip-Hop is not going anywhere and its part of people lives. 

New Music: Obie Trice "Giant"

After listening to this track, I'm guessing that Obie is no longer signed to Shady Records.

Lyfe Jennings will use his voice to raise HIV/AIDS Awareness in his New Summer Concert Tour

Lyfe is partnering with Music World Entertainment to launch a program in support of the “Heightened National Response to the HIV/AIDS Crisis Among African Americans,” to promote awareness, education and testing in response to the African American U.S. HIV/AIDS crisis.  Entitled “It’s Real. Preserve Your Lyfe!” the program will mobilize local health facilities in 22 tour cities to distribute “Lyfe Change” kits featuring important HIV/AIDS prevention and education resources as well as copies of Lyfe’s song, “It’s Real,” about the HIV/ AIDS epidemic.

Lyfe, has always been a puclic advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness working with programs including BET’s Rap-it-Up campaign. He says, “I have to use my voice to help raise awareness so that we can really bring an end to this thing. This disease has affected all of our lives, but we can definitely do things to prevent its spread and to protect ourselves.”

Mariah Carey has Nick Cannon whipped??

According to MSNBC who talked to a “close friend” of the couple,this ridiculous marriage may be ending really soon.

“I give the marriage six months, tops,” said a source close to the singer. “I can’t see it lasting.”

The insider claims that the reason behind that gloom-and-doom prediction is Nick’s need to do everything for his diva bride. While Mariah likes being waited on hand and foot, that routine won’t work in the long run.

“Nick does whatever Mariah wants him to — he’s like her puppy,” the insider said. “It seems like Nick spends more time in the stores with Mariah’s credit card than he does with Mariah herself. Mariah’s assistants and friends call him ‘Whipped Nick’ behind his back. They have little respect for him because he won’t stand up for himself.”

Jacob the Jeweler Sentenced to Prison

Jacob Arabov, a 43-year-old Russian immigrant widely renowned throughout the hip-hop world as “Jacob the Jeweler,” was sentenced on Tuesday to a 30 month jail sentence in federal prison as a result of lying to investigators who sought information about a multistate drug ring, according to the Associated Press.

The famous jeweler accepted a plea deal, admitting that he provided false statements to authorities and falsified records, according to the Associated Press. The original minimum sentence that was supposed to be imposed was three years and one month, but United States District Judge Avern Cohn reduced it due to Arabov’s numerous contributions to charity.

In a statement given to the media, Arabov said, “I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me. I will carry this shame for the rest of my life”

Jacob the Jeweler” has been referenced in numerous popular songs in the hip-hop and rhythm and blues genres over the past decade, including “Thoia Thoing” by R. Kelly, “Hate It or Love It” by The Game, “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” by Kanye West and “Hip-Hop Is Dead” by Nas. He also has made jewelry for Diddy, Pharell, Lil Kim, and many more.

Amy Winehouse has a lung disease

According to Fox News:  

Amy Winehouse's father has reportedly said his daughter has lung damage from smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, and could end up in wheelchair in a few short weeks if she doesn't lay off the drugs.

Mitch Winehouse told the U.K.'s Sunday Mirror newspaper that his daughter has an early form of emphysema and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs. Winehouse --a former taxi driver -- said the singer also had an irregular heartbeat, the paper reported.

Winehouse collapsed at her north London home Monday after signing autographs for a group of fans and was taken for tests at a London hospital. She has remained under observation and has agreed to start a drug program.
