Terrence Howard has chimed in on the Mo’Nique vs. Lee Daniels beef that recently went from zero to 60 this past weekend. At a comedy show at the Apollo Theatre on Mother’s Day, Mo’Nique called out heavy hitters Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey as “black d*cks who had no balls.” Her comments continue a […]
My name is Brittany and I am a HUGE Justin Bieber fan. I found out Justin was coming into town for promo of Believe. I was so determined to meet him before he left. Since I couldn’t go to the famous Apollo Theatre in NYC for his free show, I found out he was doing David Letterman. I have been waiting about 2 years to meet Justin. I woke up at about 6:00 am to get ready for the city. When I got there I found out where I had to stand to see Justin come in for the taping. It was around 12:15 and a black van pulls up. Justin came out but didn’t come across the street to us at first. I was so upset, I thought he wouldnt stop when he came back out. About 20-30 minutes after, we saw all the crew coming out and then Justin followed. He meets some fans across the street infront of the stage door and then he came over to us. It was amazing just to be able to look at him, have him stand next to us and take a picture with me. I really love Justin a lot and it meant so much he came and took a people with me. He is a huge inspiration to me and will be forever. -@brittcuratolo See the article here: My name is Brittany and I am a HUGE Justin Bieber fan. I found…
My name is Camilla, I’m 15 and I live in Turin, Italy. Justin came in Milan, Italy to promote Believe on 2nd June 2012. Some of my friends won the contest to see him at the Believe Party at the Alcatraz Disco or at the Verona Arena, but I didn’t win anything unfortunately. I decided to go to Milan to try to meet him anyways. The morning of 2nd June, we went to the Alcatraz and some parents of our friend gave us the bracelet to enter at the Believe Party. Then we went to the Linate Airport and we didn’t see Justin but we saw ALL of Justin’s crew such as Ryan Good, Dan Kanter, Scrappy, Kenny, Alfredo and more. I gave a letter for Justin to Scrappy and we followed their cars until we found Justin’s hotel. We spoke a little with Scrappy (who pulled out of his pocket the letter I gave him and said ”I’ve still got it”) and Dan Kanter. There we saw Marisol (she works for Kiss Kiss Radio) and she had to interview Justin. She saw us and after the interview said, “Alessandra, Ilaria and Gaia come here.” She told my friends that they needed 3 girls to ask 3 questions to Justin on the stage at the Believe Party and obviously they said, “OF COURSE.” When we arrived to the party, Marisol accompanied us in the backstage area and a man told us to be quiet and not to cry or he would kick us out. When Justin arrived and started singing, I was completely absorbed. I couldn’t believe that minutes later I would meet the only person that I really cared about. When he finished singing a man told us again to keep calm and don’t freak out. I can’t remember much but I remember Marisol said, “Okay Justin we have the girls here” and we went on the stage. Justin was two steps from me and I was enchanted while I saw his smile when he hugged Gaia. After Ilaria hugged him, I threw my arms around his neck and I felt nothing, only joy. I was about to let him go but I cuddled him stronger and I heard him saying, “Ooooh” with his sweet voice. He was so friendly and sweet with us. We asked him to take a picture but there wasn’t much time so we took a group picture with him. You don’t know how important that guy is to me. He did a lot for us, he has created a big fantastic Belieber family. I’ll never stop thanking my friend Gaia, without her I probably wouldn’t of met Justin. Also to Arianna because she cried with me when we didn’t won anything. Alessandra, Francesca and Ilaria for supporting me and made the 2nd June the best day ever. But more than anything I want to thank Justin for ALL he did for me. He put his soul in all he does for his fans, he’s amazing and I hope all of you to meet him one day. You just have to BELIEVE. – @CamiWingsBiebe Read more here: My name is Camilla, I’m 15 and I live in Turin, Italy….
President Barack Obama can really bust out a tune! Who knew? The POTUS was attending and speaking at a fundraiser last night at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York last night. The fact that the legendary Rev. Al Green was at the same event seemed to put Obama in quite a jovial mood.

‘ From the Westside, With Love II just came out last week, so it was shocking to me to see people that knew those songs,’ MC marvels after packed show. By Steven Roberts Dom Kennedy Photo: MTV News New Yorkers are a notoriously tough crowd — ask the Knicks or Yankees. Or try suggesting your favorite pizza spot, because you’re already wrong. The city is also full of staunch music critics, from The New York Times to the Apollo Theatre’s Sandman. Hip-hop acts have a notoriously tough time getting the crowd to put their hands in the air. West Coast MC Dom Kennedy didn’t seem to have much trouble Tuesday evening, however. Kennedy headlined a packed house — more like sauna — at SOB’s in Lower Manhattan. And to many people’s surprise, Leimert Park’s very own had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Even Kennedy looked pleasantly surprised at the start of his set as the audience repeated every word to songs old and new. He said the show was a bit of a celebration for the hard work he’s put in over the past few years. “I realize that these are people that were probably listening to my music every day or every other day since these projects have come out,” Kennedy told MTV News. ” From the Westside, With Love II just came out last week, so it was shocking to me to see people that knew those songs. But the other ones, it was our time to get together and have a good time.” Kennedy said he knew he had a following in New York based on the reception he received at the listening party for his Original Dom Kennedy mixtape earlier this year, but the moment he got to the show and saw he couldn’t make his way from the green room to see any of the opening acts, he knew it would be a special night. Kennedy’s From the Westside, With Love II dropped via iTunes last week, making it his first retail release. It’s the follow-up to his From the Westside, With Love, a project Kennedy felt was really good — most critics felt the same, but he thought it wasn’t complete. He wanted Part II to show his growth. He also wanted it to show that Tuesday evening’s overwhelming reception wasn’t a fluke. “I built my projects to be the best,” Kennedy said. “Whether it’s a free project, whether my first project just came out on iTunes for $6.99, I built those projects to compete with Lil Wayne CDs, with everybody’s album. Whoever people consider the top album, whether it be selling or music-wise, I want the Dom Kennedy album to stand next to those.” What do you think of Dom’s latest mixtape?
