Selena Gomez Goes Gangster In MTV EMA Promo

‘People know who the eff I is,’ the show’s host raps in a video for next month’s MTV Europe Music Awards. By James Montgomery Selena Gomez When Selena Gomez served as MTV News’ special correspondent at the Video Music Awards Pre-Show in August, she was polite, professional and, as far as we can tell, did not utter a single profanity (she did get kissed by her boyfriend, Justin Bieber , though). But in preparation for her hosting duties at next month’s MTV EMA , she’s decided to change things up a bit, ditching that good-girl image and going hard. At least judging by a brand-new promo for the show, that is. Gomez ties on a bandana and throws on a flannel (only top button buttoned, of course) in the new spot, which spoofs her squeaky-clean image and features the demure actress/singer spitting some (sorta-profane) rhymes. It opens with her in full-blown princess regalia, sitting before a vanity and proclaiming to her reflection ” Finally, I get to host the EMAs … wow!” All of sudden, her thugged-out alter ego appears on the other side of the mirror, tells Selena to “shut her face,” and then launches into a few bars, rapping, “Who else better than me to be hosting the show/ People know who the eff I is/ I’m a pro/ The right time and place for me to be/ Yeah, I’ll say it/ Congratulations to me!” Gangster Gomez (or, as she puts it, “The S-E-L-E-N-A to the Gomez”), then gets all Kanye confessional on the mic, rapping that “Sh–‘s crazy growing up in this industry/ I was still a baby when I hustled up into the scene” and then drops what sounds very much like a solid F-bomb too. Like we said, she goes hard. Of course, the whole thing is a joke — according to a message at the beginning of the spot, “Some of the Selenas in this video are fictional. Any similarities to the actual Selena are purely coincidental” — but, as MTV’s Buzzworthy blog points out, her hip-hop makeover does present a rather unique opportunity for Gomez: Now, perhaps she can drop a mixtape with Shawty Mane, a.k.a. Bieber’s rapping alter ego . We’d totally cop that. The MTV EMA will premiere on Tr3s: MTV, M

Elizabeth Olsen Covers Nylon

Her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley may have been celebrities since birth, but Elizabeth Olsen insists that their fame never affected the family dynamic. “I consider myself so very lucky to have such a normal family,” the youngest Olsen sis and Martha Marcy May Marlene actress tells October’s Nylon . The 22-year-old, who attended a private school in Beverly Hills for 13 years, says she was surrounded by “super-creative” kids. Rich, famous kids. “The weird thing is that everyone’s family was a part of this industry,” she says. “Everyone is always like, ‘What have you learned from your sisters?'” “But it didn’t really have to do with my sisters at all. Like, my best friend’s father [Rick Baker] is a makeup-artist, but he’s won seven Oscars!” “Another one of my friends, her family created Days of Our Lives .” She credits her father, David, for instilling the values of hard work in the girls. “It was always very important that his daughters take care of themselves, be financially independent. He never liked the idea of us needing a man.” She may never be AS financially secure as her sisters, whose GDP is that of a small continent. But have you seen Elizabeth Olsen in GQ ? HOT! Which of the Olsens would you most like to …

Rihanna’s Tits Pushed Up on Set of the Day

This site has become the Rihanna show. I am pretty sure her team of expert manipulators who have been responsible for all the buzz bitch is getting from doing one fucking photoshoot, are the best in the industry and set all this up intentionally… I mean shit, I’ve done 4 posts on the shit and it hasn’t even been fucking shot yet and I hate Rihanna…It’s just the magic formula of show skin, create a fake scandal with some drunk farmer, then get topless, then put on some push up halter top that makes your average at best tits look awesome, and throw in a skirt in the wind so the world can see your spanx shot, and you’ve got all the media attention a money making tool from the Islands who is just happy to not be a chamber maid could want for something that hasn’teven hit yet…. This is why she’s famous.

Amber Rose Releases Long Rant For You Haters And Goes In On Funk Master Flex “He’s An Ignorant A-Hole!” [Video]

“U do something positive in this industry u get scrutinized I really came to the conclusion that its not even about me its the fact that I’m a woman. Men in the entertainment industry are praised constantly for their ” wrong doings”. if ur a drug dealer and u took care of ur family before ur fame everyone understands. If u get shot in the mist of u hustling ur cool as fk. If a mans naked pics hit the internet ppl think its cute or funny then just talk about how big he is. A Man can date 20 models at the same time and he is respected by the world and if a girl does it she’s a disgusting whore and a “Star Fker” Women get destroyed by the media and our peers constantly but I am writing this to specifically speak about myself.

Kelly Clarkson Gets ‘Feisty’ In ‘Mr. Know It All’ Video

Singer calls a glammed-up scene in a massive gown ‘one of my favorite shots in the video.’ By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Kelly Clarkson in her “Mr. Know It All” video Photo: Sony Music Entertainment Kelly Clarkson shows off her many sides — sexy, glam, fun and playful, to name a few — in the brand-new, Justin Francis-directed music video for “Mr. Know It All.” The video, which dropped Monday (September 26), is a mixture of sleek performance footage and glamour shots, which play up the many personality traits of the Stronger singer. The clip even features a little something called “the Wall of Doubt,” which uses real, occasionally negative headlines that have been printed about the singer. But her favorite scene, as she told MTV News, is one where she looks super glammed up in a massive gown. “There’s different sides of me, and that whole outfit was more for all the freeing aspect,” she explained. “Like, there’s all these different sides of you, and that was the free-spirit side of me. That’s one of my favorite shots in the video. It keeps coming back to my hair everywhere.” However, the girl in that shot doesn’t tell Clarkson’s full story. “I think there’s that free-spirit side of me, and then there’s that feisty performer in me,” she continued. “Then there’s the funny side of me. I mean, obviously you have to be funny to have a big giant wall of doubt with actual headlines of your life on the wall. It’s a little fun, a little feisty.” The lead single from her October release, Stronger, was a late addition. “It was actually the last song we recorded, and we had already finished it up,” she said of “Mr. Know It All.” “That song came out of nowhere. And luckily it did, because everybody fell in love with it. “I think why I was attracted to it was, first of all, every girl has probably dated that guy, and also just in work life, I’ve known a lot of those people — especially in this industry,” she continued. “And people that try and pigeonhole you. I think I was just attracted to that idea of being a little sassy and feisty with that message.” The track was written by Brett James (Carrie Underwood), Ester Dean (Beyonc

Nicki Minaj And Lil’ Kim Are ‘RapFix’ Favorites For A Reason

Before appearing on Wednesday’s ‘RapFix Live,’ Maino talks to Sway about the femcees’ appeal, in Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim Photo: MTV News / Getty Images Celebrity Favorites: Maino Do the ladies run this mutha? After being deprived of rap femininity for a few years, it seems that women are once again a hot topic in the hip-hop conversation. Take Wednesday’s “RapFix Live” one-year anniversary show , for instance. Not only is Trina making an appearance, but in two separate pre-show fan polls, Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim are leading otherwise male-dominated categories. Minaj is currently leading for Best “RapFix Live” Freestyle , and the Queen Bee is the leading vote-getter in the Best “RapFix” Moment poll. It’s especially interesting considering that the two ladies were tangled in one of the biggest rap beefs of the year as well. Maino knows both Kim and Nicki, and when he appeared on Sway’s Shade 45 morning radio show, he broke down the talents of both. “I told her years ago that if I believed in any new female, I really felt like she actually had it because she rapped very feminine, she had a lot of style with her,” Maino said of his early interactions with Nicki. “I saw her coming years ago, way before her name was even Nicki Minaj. I saw her actually being able to do it.” When Maino first came into the game with his debut single “Rumors,” Lil’ Kim was an early supporter, helping him navigate his way through the industry. “Kim is legendary, man; household name that’s gonna last forever,” he said. “I just don’t think that she maintained the work ethic to maintain what we wanted her to have, and that’s to be in the spotlight continuously. Some people are not built for that 10-year run of nonstop working, like a Jay-Z.” The “Hi Hater” rapper said that, with today’s fans, the only thing that matters is current hits, and while Kim has a powerful catalog, she needs some new bangers to return her to rap prominence. “She took time off. When you take time off, you kind of hurt yourself, because in this game, they judge you by today,” he said before offering advice to his onetime collaborator: “Get back to making hot music, because at the end of the day, that’s all it is.” Catch Lloyd Banks, Maino, Trina and the Outlawz on the “RapFix Live” one-year anniversary show on Wednesday, September 14, at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com!

Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamar Goes From Hip Hop To Hollywood & Back

Read more here:

American actor and MC Lord Jamar releases “Known Associates” this fall on Universalindie.com and all major digital outlets. The album is a compilation of tracks featuring such artists as Capadonna, Hasan Salaam, Lord Superb, Saigon and Xzibit, to name a few. The forthcoming album hearkens to Lord Jamar’s long-standing subscription to the The Nation of Gods and Earths [Five-Percent Nation] – a soundtrack to the Hardbody-Godbody way of life: “It’s good hip hop, but has these elements on it because it’s who I am.” A member of legendary, classic hip-hop group “Brand Nubian” Jamar reflects on the evolution of the industry over the past 20 years: “Everything changes… I don’t think I’m changing according to other people, but I am changing according to my own evolution. Even with Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down, statistically, people weren’t expecting me and Sadat to succeed.” Jamar has an appreciation for other genres. Influenced by classical, Spanish and old soul music, the beats dictate his music production. “Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding impacts me and grows within me, daily. Although I’m changing, I’m staying consistent with my core message.” Widely known for his role on HBO’s “OZ” as “Supreme Allah,” as well as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Third Watch,” “The Sopranos,” and most recently in Dennis Leary’s television show “Rescue Me,” Jamar is looking to expand beyond music and do more acting and production. Lord Jamar says, “Whenever you’re pursuing your dreams you’re doing a courageous thing… It may have sounded absurd to some people [being an emcee] because I wasn’t from any of the 5 boros; I was from Westchester… I pursued it despite the naysayers. Same thing with acting; I didn’t have acting under my belt, but I wanted to do it. Courage comes in different ways, like whenever you’re pursuing something you love, but you’re not sure about.” By Hana Glinski http://hnaprnews.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/known-associates/ Al Pacino Thanks Hip-Hop For “Scarface” Support

Olivia Munn Bikini Pictures of the Day

Olivia Munn has historically been a fucking scam. She was some average at best looking whore who wanted to be on TV….so she found a loop hole and managed to get on some nerd TV show…where she was ugly enough to make the nerds feel like they had a chance….and spoke their language which made them so fucking horny they couldn’t process the binary code they were learning like they were asian…. I know a nerd, who first hand went down to attack of the show after making some money on the internet, and when he did the meet and greet with her, his aspergers didn’t let him read the signs that she wanted nothing to do with him, so he asked her out, you know since he had masturbated to her so much, he felt like they were actually in love, only to have her laugh in his face cuz she doesn’t work for the fucking nerds, she doesn’t like their shit, it was just a fucking stepping stone to get her into the industry, when she should be working as a fucking tour guide at the zoo or something… She’s a waste of time, but since I hate nerds and think it is funny that she conned them and that she’s in a bikini….I’ll pay attention to her sometimes…this is one of those times.

True Or False: Brian Pumper Caught That Ninja And Put The Porn Industry In A Panic

If you haven’t heard by now, the illustrious men and women of the porn industry are shook right now after finding out one of their own caught the HIV. The pornography trade association that broke the news that an adult film performer has tested HIV-positive released a statement Tuesday noting that “the incident occurred outside of California” and that “there is nothing to suggest that the occurrence has affected the Los Angeles-based industry.” The Canoga Park-based Free Speech Coalition learned that the performer had tested HIV-positive on Saturday and the group called for a moratorium on filming Sunday night, according to the statement. It was not clear Tuesday how long the temporary suspension of filming would last. “This moratorium should remain in place until primary reports of any exposure are confirmed. In the event of the necessity for first- and second-generational testing, a list of any individuals that may have been exposed will be compiled and the moratorium will then be evaluated by our medical and legal advisers, as well as industry stakeholders,” the statement said. It was not clear how many porn studios have suspended filming. “Producers, agents and performers are cooperating in order to uphold health and safety protocols,” the statement said. Among the studios that have suspended production is Van Nuys-based Evil Angel, according to spokeswoman and former performer Tricia Devereaux. “The moratorium will last as long as needed to feel confident we won’t be shooting anyone who was exposed,” Devereaux said in a Tuesday email. “Once that ends, there will still be people who haven’t been cleared yet who will have to wait before they can perform.” Almost immediately after the news broke out, it was followed by rumors that “the performer” in question was Brian Pumper .
