Ciara rocked a vampire-esque costume in Paris yesterday while there for Fashion Week. She was attending a themed party held by former French Vogue Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld and got into her “beyond the grave” character by rocking a blood-red lip and sheer Dracula-style cape. She was joined by Kanye, who wore all black, and the designer of his “Watch The Throne” album cover, Riccardo Tisci, who went all the way with a gruesome, “bloodied” mouth.

Well, now: Lars Von Trier ‘s notorious Nazi comments last May have haunted him all the way home to Denmark, where he says local cops questioned him in connection to charges leveled at him by French officials, post-Cannes. In a statement released today, the Melancholia director issued a promise of his own following the media and legal shit storm caused by his ill-conceived joking, announcing that he’ll no longer speak publicly or to press. At all .
‘A lot of my haters reached out who disagree,’ Pap tells Mixtape Daily of staking claim to five-borough rap crown. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ade Mangum Papoose Photo: MTV News Main Pick Headliner : Papoose Representing : Brooklyn, New York Mixtape : King of New York Real Spit : The Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Jay-Z and … Papoose ? At one time or another Biggie, Nastradamus and Hov have all been considered crown-holders in New York’s raps king debates, and now Papoose is declaring that his reign over the five boroughs officially begins with his new mixtape King of New York. “The reason I chose that title is because I am the king of New York,” the Brooklyn MC said with confidence to Mixtape Daily. “It feels good to be the king of New York so I just wanted to celebrate myself being the king of New York, so I figured I’d make it a self-titled mixtape.” On the tape, Papoose tackles Jay-Z and Kayne’s “Otis” beat as well as French Montana’s “Shot Caller” — with zero subtlety. Each time out, Pap lyrically pounds his chest in an attempt to back his grand proclamation. On “Name Calling,” the “Law Library” lyricist works vocals from his incarcerated wife Remy Ma onto the track. If Pap is king, then Remy rightfully sits on the throne beside him. Over the slow, prodding thump, Rem spits, “Back on the scene, crispy with cream/ I’m not the empress or princess, I’m the queen.” Her husband remixes the bars to suit his ends and brags, “Back on the scene, True Religion jeans/ I’m not the prince or the servant, I’m the king.” Since announcing the tape’s title, Papoose has met some vocal opposition from rap fans, but it hasn’t deterred him in the least. He intends to prove his claim, he told Mixtape Daily. “I’m From NY” is the rapper’s take on Meek Mill’s “Ima Boss,” and on “Conan,” Pap takes aim at the competition over a triumphant beat. “This CD is a celebration of my royalty,” he said. “I’m just feeling so good.” Apparently.

Young Money honcho injects some swagger into Jonas’ second Fast Life single. By Jocelyn Vena Joe Jonas Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/ Getty Images After dropping his second solo single, “Just in Love,” last month, Joe Jonas decided to hop back on the Fast Life track, but this time with some love from Lil Wayne . A Weezy-approved remix was released on Monday morning (October 3). “I’m just in love with you baby,” Wayne shouts at the top of the track, which for the most part stays the same, except for a few shout-outs from Weezy. Soon after Joe’s single came out in September, the Jonas Brother followed up the dance track with a sexy video. The “Just in Love” clip features the singer frolicking around Paris with a beautiful French model. Weezy returns halfway through the track to throw down a verse with his signature swagger. “Hey Joe, I got you/ Ain’t no love like the one I got/ I’m a prisoner of love/ Got my heart on lock,” he raps. “It’s like a star from the sky fell from by side/ And she tell me that it’s mine/ And I say that’s fine/ She look like a butterfly/ Smell like a flower/ I don’t need nothing/ Nothing but her/ And the smile on her face.” As the track closes out, Wayne has this final message for the lady he loves: “I’m just in love with you/ Ever since you came into my life/ My life has changed for the better.” When Joe spoke to Ryan Seacrest on Monday, he told the KIIS-FM host how he felt about the superstar rapper. “Lil Wayne, I’ve always been a huge fan. He’s always been one of those artists who’s been killing it for the longest time,” Jonas said. “Like many artists, I wanted to work with him somehow. I met him three years ago when Russell Brand hosted the VMAs.” Joe recalled meeting Wayne back then. “I remember walking up to him [and introducing myself] … and he just goes, he’s like ‘JOOONAS! What you doing man?’ and he gave me the biggest bro hug. This project came along. He wanted to be a part of it and he made this remix and he killed it.” Fast Life, Joe’s first-ever solo album, hits the streets on October 11.

Newly freed Tip opened the show, while Eminem, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, many more electrified crowd at show airing October 11. By Rob Markman T.I. at the 2011 BET Awards Photo: Chris McKay/ Getty Images ATLANTA — It was only fitting the “King of the South” made his regal return on a stage so close to where his troubles began back in 2007, but also so near where he first got his start in the game. After completing his 11-month prison sentence on Thursday, T.I. opened the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards with Young Jeezy as the two performed the Snowman’s new single “F.A.M.E.” The awards show, which taped at the Atlanta Civic Center on Saturday, is set to air on Tuesday, October 11; comedian Mike Epps hosted with assistance from Da Brat. While T.I. arguably provided the show’s grandest moment, Rick Ross and his Maybach Music crew, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean, Heavy D, DMX and Wiz Khalifa all electrified the crowd with hyped-up performances throughout the night. Rap legend LL Cool J received the show’s highest honor when he was presented with the I Am Hip-Hop Award for his career of achievements in music, movies and television. The awards show’s black carpet was equally star-studded. Rival rap crews like Ross’ Maybach Music rubbed shoulders with G-Unit’s newest members Shawty Lo and Kidd Kidd in a show of peace, love and appreciation for the culture. As most fans know, BET’s pre-taped rap ciphers typically generate some the of the ceremony’s most buzz-worthy moments, with memorable performances from Kayne’s G.O.O.D. Music crew, Mos Def and the Roots’ Black Thought going viral in recent years. This year, the network upped the ante adding more rhyme ciphers than ever before. MCs like French Montana, Tech N9ne, Big K.R.I.T., Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Maybach Music Group, Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf and Eminem all traded rhymes while DJ Premier spun the beats. Among the leading nominees are Lil Wayne (who earned a record-setting 18 nods), Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj and Waka Flocka Flame, while stars like NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire, Tracee Ellis Ross and Nelly were among the presenters. Tune in to the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday, October 11, at 8pm ET to see who took home the prizes! Related Artists T.I.
If there are two things that go together perfectly, besides gin and tonic of course, it’s a supermodel and a nice pair of leather short shorts. Here’s Miranda Kerr walking around the streets of Paris looking like, well, looking like one of the hottest women on the planet. I think that if I saw this hottie walk by I’d drop whatever I was doing, smoking or eating a baguette or whatever French people do, and spend my afternoon following her around. From a respectful distance of course, I don’t want to seem like a creep. It’s not often you see something this beautiful up close, you’ve got to soak it all in while you can. Sweet sweet supermodels.
The 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards were taped in Atlanta this weekend and the most exciting performances for a lot of fans are the rhyme Cyphers. Check out the first two featuring the first featuring Chris Sutton, XV, Top Dog Ent’s Jay Rockm Gilbere Forte, Rico Staxx, Wais P, Termanology, Sean Cross, French Montana… and comedian Mike Epps. Yes, that Mike Epps! DJ Premiere continues his duties keeping the beat looping up the late James Brown’s “The Big Payback.” [ Props to SoulCulture.uk ]
I don’t think there’s anything better than a few nice shots of supermodel cleavage to start off the week, or mid-week, or to finish off the week for that matter, so here’s Bar Refaeli doing her thing on the red carpet for some event over the weekend. I’m going to assume that it’s a fashion thingy, she’s far too dressed up for anything else, not that I really care, I just love supermodels. Especially ones who aren’t afraid to show off their great supermodel breasts. This is a Bar I would love to spend a night in. Call me.
I’m not sure if Lindsay Lohan has done any real work since her whole drunken jail thing, but it looks like she’s back at it with some sort of photoshoot in Europe somewhere. Good for her. I’m assuming it’s in Europe because they’ve got her wearing red leather short shorts and a matching red leather short jacket. Crazy Europeans. Anyhow, she’s looking pretty damn sexy, like a prostitute in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie from the early nineties. Hot. When is she going to meet some rich old dude and make a career out of lounging around topless on his yacht in the French riviera? more pictures of Lindsay Lohan here
