Big Sean tells MTV News that 2012 will also bring his F.F.O.E. (Finally Famous Over Everything) mixtape and sophomore album. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Vanessa Whitewolf Kanye West Photo: Getty Images The ball hasn’t even dropped yet, but 2012 is already looking to be a pretty good year for hip-hop thanks to planned releases from Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music clan. “We’re gonna do the G.O.O.D. Music album first; we been working on that,” Big Sean told MTV News a few weeks ago on the set of Wale’s “Slight Work” video in California. “So, me, Kanye, Cudi, CyHi, John Legend, Common, Pusha T, everybody on G.O.O.D., Mr Hudson: We’re all working on a new project; it’s almost done. We’re going to London to finish it up and do the last part of it and working on my album at the same time with ‘Ye and everybody.” Last week just before Christmas, Kanye gave fans across the pond a sneak preview of his label compilation when he DJed at holiday party at LeBaron London. Not only did Yeezy spin G.O.O.D. Music tracks, he also played beats from his upcoming sixth solo album, according to a report on Rap-Up . Maybe New Year’s party-goers will get a taste too, since Kanye tweeted that he’d like to bring in 2012 on the 1s and 2s as well. “I kinda wanna DJ somewhere this New Years,” he wrote Tuesday night. Big Sean estimates that the G.O.O.D. Music album will drop in the spring, and after that, in the summer of 2012, he will be ready to deliver his sophomore album. Before that though, the Detroit MC promises to release a mixtape. Despite his major-label success in 2011, Sean recognizes that it was his mixtape grind that finally made him famous. “I’m sticking to that,” he said. “I got the new F.F.O.E. mixtape, Finally Famous Over Everything, coming, new G.O.O.D. Music album, the next Finally Famous album, so we going hard.” Which project are you most looking forward to: the G.O.O.D. Music album, Big Sean’s F.F.O.E. mixtape or Sean’s sophomore LP?

Mumford & Sons, Justin Bieber, Rick Ross also prepping new material. By Gil Kaufman Photo: Theo Wargo/ WireImage The past 12 months have seen the release of monster albums from Adele , Lady Gaga , Drake , Taylor Swift , Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj . But the next 12 are promising to bring even more music from several of those artists, plus new albums from Mumford & Sons, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Paramore, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5 and Green Day. It’s a bumper crop of major albums from some of rock, pop and hip-hop’s biggest stars, who are returning from long breaks, hoping to follow up smash debuts or just trying to keep their momentum going. While release dates are always subject to change, here are some of the most anticipated releases of 2012. Pop : Ironically, the status of new albums from the artists whose next moves everyone is most curious about are the ones most in the air. Rihanna tends to deliver a new album every 12 or 13 months, which means that she may have another disc in stores at the end of next year once the just-released Talk That Talk has run its course. On the other hand, Lady Gaga has already begun talking about her follow-up to this year’s Born This Way. Gaga recently told MTV News that she’s already started writing songs and “all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take place.” She didn’t give a potential release date, only promising, “I’ll put it out when it’s done.” Katy Perry hasn’t publicly spoken about what will come after 2010’s smash Teenage Dream, but it’s possible she could start work on new material in 2012 as well. We know for sure that Justin Bieber is planning to show his more mature side next time around, possibly even incorporating some EDM sounds into the mix. It’s been confirmed that Madonna hooked up with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj for the single “Gimme All Your Luvin’ ” from her untitled forthcoming album, which will feature production from Ray of Light producer William Orbit. Other artists who could release fresh material in 2012: No Doubt , Maroon 5 , Avril Lavigne , Miley Cyrus , Christina Aguilera , Ke$ha and Nicole Scherzinger . Hip-Hop : Two titans of rap are cueing up fresh tracks for early 2012, with Nicki Minaj likely to get out of the gate first with her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, due out on Valentine’s Day. The disc will include first single “Roman in Moscow,” which sees the Best New Artist Grammy nominee getting into the character of her alter ego, Roman Zolanski. After the delay of God Forgives, I Don’t due to a pair of seizures he suffered in October, Rick Ross is expected to come back strong as well. The Bawse has taken his convalescent time to work on a new track with Jay-Z . Speaking of Jigga, fans may get a new record from him as well, considering he told MTV News he was cooking up fresh tracks way back when he first played us songs from his Kanye West collaborative album, Watch the Throne. In fact, Jay-Z said you might get solo albums from both men as well as the second Throne release. Other artists that should have albums hitting stores in 2012: Nas , Frank Ocean , Slaughterhouse , Wiz Khalifa , the G.O.O.D. Music compilation , T.I. , Big Sean , 50 Cent , Ludacris , Big K.R.I.T. , Meek Mill and potentially two discs from Lil Wayne , I Am Not a Human Being II and Rebirth II. Rock : Some of rock’s biggest guns are reloading for 2012, among them Green Day , who debuted some new tracks at a benefit show in August. The title of the follow-up to 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown hasn’t been announced yet, but some of the early songs slated for possible inclusion are “Nuclear Family,” “Carpe Diem” and “Sweet 16.” U2 have reportedly been cooking up a number of potential new albums , logging sessions with Danger Mouse and working with French producer/DJ David Guetta , RedOne and will.i.am on a disc of dance-oriented tunes. Prog rock revivalists Muse should also have some new material for us, with bassist Chris Wolstenholme promising in a recent interview that the sound on their sixth album will be “radically different” from 2009’s The Resistance. We may get something from Linkin Park , who are prepping the follow-up to 2010’s A Thousand Suns, and Mumford & Sons . It’s been two years since the British folk rock revivalists dropped their still strong-selling debut, Sigh No More, and they began giving fans a taste of some new material in the fall when they unveiled the majestic song “Ghosts.” After a rough year, Paramore have finally put the drama behind them and they’re super-psyched to record an album free of tension and inter-band awkwardness. So far, they’ve already unwrapped the bouncy “Renegade” and “Hello Cold World,” which bode well for their fourth full-length studio album. Other rock acts slated to release new albums: the reunited Soundgarden , Foster the People , Neon Trees , Sleigh Bells , Silversun Pickups , Bruce Springsteen and All-American Rejects . Which 2012 albums are you most excited about? Which ones did we miss? Let us know in comments below.

Ridley Scott returns to the sci-fold with the highly anticipated Alien prequel Prometheus . Although the plot of the film was initially shrouded in secrecy, an official synopsis was recently posted by the studio (20th Century Fox): Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. From the beginning, Scott categorically denied that Prometheus was a prequel to the Alien franchise, but in recent interviews , has admitted that it is a “prequel of sorts.” Whatever the prolific director’s cooked up, expect lots of thrills, chills and a very bloody body count as expected from the Alien movies. The cast includes Idris Elba, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, and Guy Pearce. Prometheus opens in theaters June 8, 2012. WATCH TRAILER BELOW:
If your goal is flawless makeup from a party’s start to finish, this is the list you should check twice. Follow these tips from Allure to avoid the year’s biggest holiday makeup mishaps. OVERDOSING ON GLITTER Don’t use any large-fleck glitter—it reflects too much light and tends to look childish. If you want some shine, an eye shadow with small shimmer flecks will catch the light in a subtle way. Sweep it on lids and at the inner corners to brighten your face. BARE NAILS Holiday planning is all about the details, and a knockout nail color should be at the top of your to-do list. For an update on classic red, try a high-shine lacquer or go edgy with black polishes with silver sparkles. MIXING METALS We know it’s the season of silver and gold, but those things just don’t mix on your face. Gold is warm and silver is cool – so only one of them is going to look good on you. Silver shadows and highlighters look better on fair skin tones, while warm golds flatter darker skin. OBVIOUS LIP LINER When it comes to beautiful, bold mouths, it’s important to know how far to go without crossing the line. That’s why makeup artists backstage at fashion shows often pat on lipstick with their fingers so that the edges aren’t obvious. If lipstick bleeds into very fine lines around your mouth, apply a lip liner that matches your lip color. READ THE REST HERE!

Will the hate ever cease? See that picture? It’s the Obama Christmas card. Seems harmless enough, right? Of course, the people at Faux news had some words about it. SMH. The official White House holiday card makes no mention of the word ‘Christmas’ and instead focused on Bo the First Dog based on the wishes of the First Family. “From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season,” read the inside of the card, featuring the presidential seal. The front of the card features Bo the First Dog lounging by a fireplace. Holiday greenery is draped over the fireplace mantle. Holiday presents are placed on a table underneath a poinsettia – instead of a Christmas tree. And Sarah Palin dug herself up from under some washed up basketball player’s pumps to offer this stupidity: “It’s odd…American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree…It’s just a different way of thinking coming out of the White House.” Um…so…NO President has said “Christmas” on a card in 100 years! But that doesn’t matter with Faux News. Just let the Obamas enjoy Christmas. More On Bossip! Regular Old Thang: Stars That Married Regular People…Did It Work?

I was looking for a video of Stacy Keibler doing some video game promotions in spandex, where the camera man got up in her ass nice and good giving us a great angle you know so we really grasp how effective the videogame is, but I found this ghetto ass video of her giving holiday diet advice and I’m not even sure if it is actually her, because she doesn’t mention anything about faking being on birth control so that you can get knocked up by an A-List actor and spend the rest of your life….set for life…. Then I found the video of her doing some Video Game shit in some Tight clothes….and forgot all about the above video….because her groupie wrestling ass makes it obsolete…
Never have I seen a black chick look so white. She’s on some Michael Jackson skin bleaching hustle because like the 1940s, the light skin blacks are far more accessible to the racist mainstream….which sells movie tickets and magazines…..I mean unless she’s on some Halle Berry winning awards for being black and bitch was raised in an suburb amongst whites…cuz her mom is white shit….which is probably more like it…and I find that a whole pile of shit…I want my black women in movies to be fucking black….non of this half assed, half breed, half effort shit….and here she is half naked in efforts to get seats filled for shitty Tom Cruise movies….even though she isn’t all that hot….but she is half naked and that counts for something… Here’s the video….
