It hasn’t been a full seven days yet, but the journalists aboard the Rihanna plane have had enough. We already reported on a naked uprising (no pun) courtesy of a possibly delirious Australian writer, but there are far more amusing tales from the plane, thanks to a few crafty wordsmiths…. Continue

Jay and J. Cole finally collaborate for Cole World: The Sideline Story, due September 27. By Rob Markman J. Cole and Jay-Z Photo: Getty Images It may not have come as he planned, but J. Cole finally got a feature from Jay-Z on his debut album. Despite being signed to Hov’s Roc Nation, there was no guarantee that the CEO would lend his voice to Cole World: The Sideline Story. Cole recorded the yet-unreleased “God’s Gift” in hopes that Jigga would ride shotgun on it. Instead, it’s the slick-talking “Mr. Nice Watch” that will bear Jay’s bars when Cole’s album drops September 27. It’s fitting that Jay would appear on the futuristic-sounding track, considering its hook borrows from his own “A Million and One Questions.” On the 1997 underground classic, a still-on-the-come-up Jigga raps in third person, “Uggh, nice watch, do you really have a spot?/ Like you said in ‘Friend or Foe’ and if so, what block?” And with that inspiration, Cole builds his single, which leaked online Wednesday (September 14). “No more Mr. Nice Guy, hello Mr. Nice Watch,” the North Carolina lyricist raps as he moves from struggling underground artist to major-label breakout. On the self-produced track, Cole World provides a bouncy dubstep backdrop, perfect for stunting. Hov doesn’t disappoint either, rapping cryptically, using Florida Gators great Tim Tebow to metaphorically illustrate his affinity for his own wrist wear. “Got a Hublot, I call Tebow, I strap that bitch with a gator band/ Y’all n—as ball half time, y’all n—as like the Gator band.” This isn’t the first time Cole has appeared alongside Jay on a track. In 2009, the upstart made his presence felt on Hov’s “A Star Is Born” from the mogul’s The Blueprint III album. But during his appearance on “RapFix Live” back in February, Cole told Sway the high standards that he holds for a Jay collaboration. “They been asking me this for a while because I said he was like one of the only rap features I wanted, but it’s about the song. It’s a lot of pressure on that song. I feel like that’s my hardest song to make, is the one I want Jay for. My standards are so high.” During an August listening session in New York City, Cole played the entire album , and at that point, Jay had not yet appeared on it. Cole played both “God’s Gift,” on which he left an open space for Hova’s verse, and “Mr. Nice Watch.” “Nobody owes me anything,” he told the journalists who gathered that night. “Jay-Z doesn’t owe me a verse because I signed to him.” Well, Jay gave him one and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

aljazeera : Making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter is this Egypt tribute music video by Amir Sulaiman , Omar Offendum , The Narcicyst , Ayah , and Freeway , with lyrics like: “I heard them say the revolution won’t be televised.

The discussion is about ten minutes long but it’s interesting to hear the details. The journalist was fortunate to have only been detained for eight hours compared to others who were held for much longer. Other journalists allegedly were kicked, beaten and tasered by the military. Protests are due to continue again today with new energy following the release of Google executive Wael Ghonim.

Andrew Garfield’s lunch arrived before he did this afternoon in Toronto: a light salad with chicken and broccoli, vinaigrette on the side, and six slices of tomatoes. Digging into the greens, one of the journalists gathered to discuss Garfield’s new film Never Let Me Go asked if this was actually the Spider-Man diet. “It’s food that I’m eating,” the actor replied. “So yes.” And so continued the enduring push-pull between the 27-year-old’s smoldering, carefully cultivated dramatic presence and his future as the Great White Blockbuster Hope.
