Justin Bieber Gets Waxy in London Making the most of his time across the pond, Justin Bieber attended the unveiling of his new waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London, England today (March 15). The “Baby” singer looked enthusiastic as he gave his wax likeness a once-over while fans and photographers snapped up pictures. As for Justin’s girlfriend Selena Gomez, it seems she’s been having a hard time dealing with derogatory comments made about their relationship by Bieber fans. The “Wizards of Waverly Place” babe told David Letterman, “It’s hard. It hurts, it really does. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong. I’ve been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it. I have a strong family and great fans.” Enjoy the pictures of

It’s hard to argue that Prince is one of the most talented and versatile musicians to ever set foot in a recording studio. Since 1978, he’s released over 30 albums, had dozens of hit singles, a few movies, and sold out concert venues from his hometown of Minneapolis to Japan. With a catalog as vast as his, picking his ten best songs is no easy task. We’re still not sure that this list is complete. We’ve left off quite a few songs. There’s no “I Wanna Be Your Lover” on the list. “Uptown?” That didn’t make it either. “Let’s Go Crazy?” Not this time. Samples of History: Inheriting Prince’s Funk 10. When You Were Mine Prince’s third album, 1980′s Dirty Mind , was what most people would call a “departure” record. Gone were the disco influences that shaped songs like “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and “Soft & Wet.” In their place were shades of the punk rock and new wave scenes that were beginning to take hold of America at the time. “When You Were Mine” manages to combine the new wave influence with an admitted Beatles-esque sensibility that provides the soundtrack to Prince’s obsession with an ex. 9. Pop Life In 1985, Prince followed up the massive success of the Purple Rain album and film with Around The World In A Day , a psychedelic pop record that only someone as weird as Prince could make. Despite its many nods to psychedelia, one of ATWIAD’s best songs was “Pop Life,” a song that addresses social issues like the dangers of drugs. 8. Adore Influenced by R&B ballads by singers like Anita Baker and Luther Vandross, one of Prince’s biggest songs that never became a single was “Adore,” the final song on Prince’s sprawling 1987 double album, Sign O’ The Times . Prince toes the line between the sacred and profane with the song’s churchy instrumentation, and erotic lyrics. The song also is home to the classic lyric “You could burn up my clothes / Smash up my ride / Well maybe not the ride…” 7. Purple Rain We all know this song, which probably owes more to the traditions of country music than to R&B. The nearly nine-minute album version is a revelation with Prince’s extended guitar solo. There’s a reason why Prince performs this song at nearly every concert he does. 6. Kiss Originally intended for a group called Mazarati that Prince signed to his Paisley Park Records label, “Kiss” started off as a simple 90 second demo. Prince gave the demo to his engineer, David “Z” Rivkind who managed to take Prince’s extremely rough sketch of a song, and turn it into one of the funkiest songs His Royal Badness ever touched. Mazarati recorded a version of the song, which Prince is rumored to have taken to a popular outdoor basketball court in Minneapolis to get feedback. The feedback was so positive that Prince decided to keep the song for himself. Mazarati weren’t left completely in the dirt though. Their background vocals remain on the track. 5. If I Was Your Girlfriend “If I Was Your Girlfriend” was released as the second single from Prince’s 1987 album, Sign O’ The Times . Despite a warm reception from black radio at the time, the song stalled on the pop charts, mainly by those who were confused by the song’s premise. Using a sped up vocal to simulate a woman’s voice, Prince is actually singing to his then-girlfriend, Susannah Melvoin about how he wishes that he had a closer relationship with her, like that of one of her girlfriends. Of course, things get kinda freaky as the song goes along, but this is Prince we’re talking about. 4. Joy In Repetition A relatively obscure track to casual fans, “Joy In Repetition” appears on the soundtrack to Prince’s 1990 film disaster Graffiti Bridge . The song’s narrative vividly details Prince walking into a club where “four-letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite.” Inside the club he sees a woman on stage singing the same two words over and over again as he falls in love with her, dragging her from the stage and running out of the club arm in arm. Prince rarely goes into narrative mode to the extent that he does in this song. Plus, he straight up murders the guitar solo. 3. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker “The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker” is another one of those rare narratives in Prince’s discography. A deceptively simple song, the song features little more instrumentation than a drum machine, keyboard, guitar and bass. In the song, Prince tells the tale of meeting a waitress, the titular Dorothy Parker, who starts flirting with him. He leaves the restaurant with her even though he admits that he’s seeing someone. But as the song ends, he reveals that Dorothy “didn’t see the movie cuz she hadn’t read the book first.” 2. Little Red Corvette With those opening synth chords, and the opening lyric, “I guess I shoulda known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last,” Prince hit critical and commercial pay dirt. Prince works the fast woman as fast car metaphor for all its worth on this song, which was reportedly written in between cat naps while riding in the car of one of his band members. “Little Red Corvette” has the distinction of being one of the first videos by a black artist played on MTV. 1. When Doves Cry The last song written for Purple Rain , “When Doves Cry” is a pop music masterpiece. The opening guitar riff grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until the sparsely arranged song comes to an end. “When Doves Cry” helped propel Purple Rain , the film and album, to classic status.

Inc. rapper granted furlough to finish album and settle tax issue. By Jayson Rodriguez Ja Rule Photo: MTV News Ja Rule’s teeth are just fine, but the rapper’s finances aren’t in order, and as a result he’s been extended a reprieve in his prison sentencing until June 8. The Queens lyricist pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession in December , stemming from a July 2007 arrest. Lil Wayne, who Ja Rule performed with that night at the Cash Money star’s Beacon Theater show, also was arrested that night and eventually served eight months in prison for the same offense. Wayne’s sentence was postponed a number of times, including once for the rapper to undergo dental work. According to the New York Post , a judge delayed Ja Rule’s sentencing Wednesday morning (March 9) so the rapper could settle a federal tax issue. The Inc. rapper also will use the time to finish his next project, his attorney said. The furlough was issued by the judge against the prosecution’s wishes, the Post also reported. “We want to finish the album, and there’s also a tax issue,” his lawyer, Stacey Richman, said. “Somebody, an accountant, had filed an incorrect form, and this is to correct what was done in the past.” The case originated just over three years ago, when Ja Rule joined Lil Wayne at his first headlining gig in New York City. After the concert, both rappers’ vehicles were pulled over by the New York Police Department in separate instances. Both were subsequently charged with illegal possession of a firearm; Lil Wayne also was brought up on drug charges. Related Artists Ja Rule
Envelope-pushing sex symbol starred in ‘The Outlaw’ and ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.’ By Gil Kaufman Jane Russell Photo: Getty Images You can thank Jane Russell for “Sucker Punch,” every Roger Corman jigglefest, the Catwoman outfit Halle Berry was poured into and just about any other body-baring costume that a Hollywood actress has shimmied in over the past 70 years. The buxom pinup beauty who helped push the envelope in onscreen sensuality died on Monday at the age of 89 at her home in Santa Maria, California. For photos of Jane Russell through the years, click here. The Los Angeles Times reported that Russell had suffered from respiratory problems and died after a short illness. The actress made her biggest splash in her first role in 1943’s “The Outlaw,” a Howard Hughes-produced film that played up her sexuality in a marketing campaign that focused on her voluptuous figure. In fact, the iconic publicity still of Russell posing in a low-cut top while leaning back on a bale of hay — her left arm cocked on her hip and her pouty lips and ample bosom prominent — created a sensation and challenged the strict morality rules of Hollywood’s production code. Born Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell on June 21, 1921, in Bemidji, Minnesota, she moved to Southern California with her family as an infant and started working as a part-time model after graduating from high school. She was discovered by one of Hughes’ casting agents amid a search for a beauty with a curvy figure to play Billy the Kid’s love interest Rio McDonald in “The Outlaw.” The Times noted that Russell got the part after one audition, and Hughes took such an interest in her that he fired director Howard Hawks and got personally involved in finding creative ways to emphasize her assets. How involved? Hughes had his engineers design a custom “cantilever” bra with no seams that would expose more of her breasts than typical bras. Russell refused to wear the contraption, however. Hughes’ efforts shocked Joe Breen, who was in charge of enforcing the strict production code (the precursor to the modern-day ratings code), which forbade such overt portrayals of erotic situations and material. He said at the time that he’d never seen “anything quite so unacceptable as the shots of the breasts of the character of Rio,” which he said were “shockingly emphasized.” Despite Breen’s order to delete dozens of shots of Russell’s cleavage, Hughes refused, playing up the controversy in the ad campaign with the haystack poster and taglines such as “How Would You Like to Tussle with Russell?” After being re-released in 1946 without code approval, the movie
Singer is among several stars who performed for Libyan dictator’s family in recent years. By Gil Kaufman Nelly Furtado Photo: Getty Images Things are falling apart in many ways for longtime Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. With his countrymen in uproar and demanding that he step down after more than 40 years in power as part of the freedom wave rushing through the Middle East, the dictator is also getting push back from one of the pop stars who’ve performed for his family over the years. According to her official Twitter feed Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado confirmed on Monday that she once did a show for the dictator’s family and now plans to donate the money to charity. “In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy,” she wrote on Monday. “I am going to donate the $.” Furtado isn’t the only artist to perform for a member of the dictator’s family. According to cables obtained by WikiLeaks and pointed out by The New York Times this week, Usher and Beyonc
