In Sick White Folks News: Jared Loughner’s HS Sweetheart Says He Went Crazy After She Broke Up Him

According to his ex, Jared Loughner “used to be” a typical teenager: The high school sweetheart of the Arizona gunman has said his descent into madness began after she broke up with him. Kelsey Hawkes described how Jared Loughner, whom she dated for a year in 2005 when she was 15, turned from a normal person into a ‘psycho’ when she ended their relationship. The student claimed Loughner ‘fell apart’ when she said she wanted to move on and looked like he had ‘nothing to live for’. Over the following months she watched in dismay as her former love began drinking and taking drugs before cutting himself off from their mutual friends. His warped journey is said to have reached its terrible climax last week when he opened fire at a meeting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, seriously injuring her and killing six others. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Miss Hawkes, 21, said: ‘My breaking up with him was not the cause of him going off the rails but it was definitely the start of it. ‘Something changed in him, he was not the same person when I told him it was over. ‘I remember his face clearly – he just looked like he had nothing to live for. It was my first relationship and it was his first relationship. He was definitely in love with me but I’m not sure if I could say I was in love with him – it was typical teenage stuff. Jared used to care about everything, his grades, school, his friends. That was when Jared was a normal person. It all stopped when we broke up.’ She added: ‘There was never any sign of that when we were going out, I would not have dated a weirdo.’ Miss Hawkes said the couple met in 2004 – when she was 15 and he was 16 – at a college American football game while both were studying at Mountain View High School in Tucson, Arizona. Although he was in the year above, the pair bonded over shared interests such as rock music. She said: ‘We clicked and we hung out, we did our homework together, we went to the movies. Typical teenage romance stuff.’ Miss Hawkes, who lives in Tucson, near the site where Loughner carried out his plot, said she learned her ex-boyfriend was the mass killer when she got a call from her sister. ‘I had to go home from work and I cried for the rest of the day,’ she said. ‘We had such an ordinary high school relationship that to think of him like that just blows my mind.’ Source

Swizz Beatz Says Jay-Z And Kanye West’s ‘H.A.M.’ Is ‘Super Positive’

‘I think that if more of the industry did moves like this it would be a better place for everybody,’ producer tells MTV News. By Mawuse Ziegbe Swizz Beatz Photo: MTV News When Kanye West and Jay-Z dished out “H.A.M.”, the first official single from their forthcoming joint album Watch the Throne, it was a colossal hip-hop moment. Two of the rap’s reigning mic-rippers tag-teaming on a track heaping with bravado-laden lyricism over producer Lex Luger’s incessant, piercing drums is a major way to star to start the hip-hop conversation in 2011. Swizz Beatz, who’s crafted multiple records with both MCs, told MTV News on Wednesday (January 12) that Yeezy and Hov’s collaborative effort could be taken as a blueprint for how to push the hip-hop game further. “I think that those being both of my friends, and knowing that people can team up on such a high caliber level — as musicians, as rappers, as friends, as peers — I think it’s super-positive, and I think that if more of the industry did moves like this it would be a better place for everybody,” Swizz said. The Monster Mondays songsmith has been in the lab with the hip-hop titans as they craft Throne, and added that the tracks that in the works definitely game-changing potential. “I’m involved a little bit on the album, and just hearing the different songs it’s like ‘Wow, they’re really taking it to another level.’ I’m happy to be a part of it, those are my brothers and [they’re] going to continue pushing the envelope,” he said. Swizz also insisted Jay and ‘Ye are “definitely coming with the monsters,” and that “H.A.M.” will be followed up by tracks that are “just gonna keep getting better.” However, the prolific producer mused that the two MCs don’t have an specific agenda for Throne’s chart performance — since they’ve both got boatloads of accolades, fame and radio hits to their names — but are rather hitting the studio to create the tracks they feel like making. “I think they’re just doing them. I don’t think artists nowadays are paying attention to any like, particular formats. Because the industry is not what it used to be — you can’t predict a Top 40 record or a #1 Urban record. You just gotta just do what you feel is hot. It’s just like you feel like you don’t want to rap no more [or] you wanna keep going past the hook, just keep going past the hook. That makes it real hip-hop.” he said. “People don’t understand that hip-hop got started from being rebellious to any rules. Hip-hop has no rules, and the only reason hip-hop started getting rules [was] because of radio airplay, sales, different spins and trying to reach out to another audience. But Jay and Kanye got the audience already so they can do what they want to do, and I think that’s what they doing, which is a great move.” Like his homies, Swizz is also making some high-profile joint moves, collaborating with Reebok and luxury car maker Aston Martin. The producer/rapper has also been tinkering on his next solo effort, titled Haute Living, which he said will be a creative departure from his previous work. “I think people are not gonna expect what they’re gonna hear on my album. I’m very hard on myself with the album because it’s like putting on another hat and it’s opening up the door for a lot of criticism,” he said of heading back to the mic for the follow-up to 2007’s One Man Band Man. Ultimately, he shrugged off any possible Haute hate, and maintained that, like Jay and Kanye, he’s in it to make music and have a good time. “Doing this album I said, ‘Look, I’m not trying to be the best rapper in the world, I’m not trying to do none of that. I’m just trying to have fun and treat it as [an] art project where I’m expressing myself.’ ” While he may be prioritizing creativity over commercial viability, Swizz hasn’t been slacking on securing a diverse lineup of A-list features that includes a rock star, a Rebirth rapper and R&B royalty. “I have amazing collaborations on the album from Lenny Kravitz, Wayne, my sister Mary [J. Blige], Maxwell is on the album,” he said. “I don’t want to give it all away but I’m trying to come with something … that’s just gonna like blow people’s minds away. They gonna be like, ‘Wow.’ ” Do you agree with Swizz’ thoughts about Jay and Kanye’s “H.A.M.” record? Let us know in the comments!

Wyclef Jean’s Sister Melky Raises Funds, Awareness For Haiti With New Album

‘People always say, ‘I’m going to start with the man in the mirror,’ but I want us to hold hands and look in the mirror together,’ she tells RapFix. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Hillary Crosley Melky Jean in her video for “Better” Photo: MCA Last year, the world rallied around Haiti after a devastating earthquake upended the tiny country. This year, to mark the one-year anniversary , celebrities have continued to bring awareness to the aftermath, from George Clooney’s pleas for support to Sean Penn relocating to Haiti as a resident. Included in that group are Wyclef Jean and his sister, Melky. The latter star is set to release her next project, Care for Haiti, an album she’s been working on since 2007 that has grown in importance since the earthquake. All of the proceeds from the album are slated to go to Care, a charitable organization that’s helped the country for more than 50 years. Melky Jean managed to pull in some big names for the project and hopes their fame will help bring further help to Haiti, which is still struggling to recover from the natural disaster. “Back in 2007, not many people knew what was going on in Haiti, but I was able to get some really awesome artists at the time like KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Patti LaBelle, Sean Paul, of course Wyclef, Natasha Bedingfield and Ang

Lily Aldridge in Her Bikini for Victoria’s Secret of the Day

Lily Aldridge is a Victoria’s Secret Angel who I have kinda heard of. Not because she’s famous and not because I keep track of who Victoria’s Secret hires to walk their fashion shows or star in their boring catalongs and not because I keep track of the people who marry the members of Kings of Leon band but because I am in love with her sister. It’s not real love because love doesn’t exist and I have never actually met her. It is a love that came over the internet after being friends on facebook since she was 15 years old, you know in an attempt to befriend her when she was young so that when she turns 18 it’ll be natural progression to bed me…I hardly ever talk to her anymore, but when we did it was glorious and that’s good enough for me….because if I did ever try to kidnap her and make her my child wife like she was that Smart kid, I’d be totally distracted at family functions by this sister of hers, cuz I had no idea just how pretty fucking magnificent she is…. Here are her pics, hard at work.

Kim Kardashian’s Tasty Front Meat

Here’s Kim Kardashian at the People’s Choice Awards the other night continuing to try to prove to us that she’s more than just a tender piece of ass meat. I’m not buying it. I can see that she’s showing off a nice amount of front junk, but we all know where her real powers lie. Anyhow, she still looks hot, but I’m amazed at how quickly her sister has aged since having her baby. Eww, she looks like a dude who went to my high-school who’s now living as a woman. Not a compliment.

Eminem, Taylor Swift Top Album Sales For 2010

Recovery led the year’s new releases; Katy Perry was queen of song downloads. By Gil Kaufman Eminem Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Despite late charges from Susan Boyle and Taylor Swift, Eminem came out on top in the year-end Nielsen SoundScan tally. According to figures compiled by Billboard magazine, the rapper’s return-to-form CD, Recovery, led all new releases in 2010 with sales of 3.4 million copies, followed by Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now (3.1 million), Swift’s Speak Now (3 million), Justin Bieber’s My World 2.0 (2.3 million) and Boyle’s The Gift (1.85 million). The rest of the top-selling albums including Lady Gaga’s still-moving debut, The Fame , which sold another 1.5 million copies last year, followed by Sade’s Soldier of Love (1.3 million), Drake’s Thank Me Later (1.2 million), Usher’s Raymond v. Raymond (1.18 million) and Ke$ha’s Animal (1.1 million). Recovery was also the #1 digital album, thanks to sales of 852,000 copies. A combination of her still briskly selling back catalog and her new hit album made Swift the year’s overall top-selling artist, with more than 4.4 million units shifted, followed by Slim Shady (4.3 million), Lady Antebellum (3.8 million), Bieber (3.7 million) and the cast of “Glee” (3.6 million). Katy Perry was the queen of the digital songs tally, racking up nearly 4.4 million downloads for her hit collabo with Snoop Dogg, “California Gurls.” Just behind was Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” (4.3 million), Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” (4.2 million), Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” (4 million) and B.o.B and Hayley Williams’ “Airplanes” (4 million). Albums sales continued their nearly decade-long slide, dropping another 12.8 percent to 326.2 million units as sales of CDs fell by almost 20 percent for the fourth year in a row. But individual digital track sales saw a slight 1 percent increase last year to 1.17 billion, and digital album sales grew by 13 percent to 86.3 million, meaning they accounted for more than 26 percent of all U.S. album sales in 2010. And, in one of those stories it feels like you hear every year, vinyl was big in 2010 as well, with the vintage category growing by 13 percent. That uptick was fueled largely by the Beatles’ Abbey Road, which sold 35,000 copies, followed by the Arcade Fire’s Suburbs (18,000), the Black Keys’ Brothers (18,000), Vampire Weekend’s Contra (15,000) and Michael Jackson’s Thriller (14,000).

Sextra: Who’s in Mood for Some Capricorn Lovin’?

Happy New Year, billie goats! This is your time of year and who could ask for a better year, numerically: 1.1.11? We swung into the Capricorn’s zodiacal cycle last which was, likely, a picturesque, snow covered, good time. Just like the crisp chill in the air, the Capricorn is a part of life that is always on time, inevitable and necessary for life to move on produce new fruits. Even as children, Capricorns are refined, observant and possess a strong ambition and determination for success and stability which people mistake as being shrewd or oddly conventional. But, the misunderstanding comes with their need for structure, in which they function best! So, wishy-washy, indecisive, unreliable and irresponsible individuals are automatically scratched from their personal and social realm – regardless of the relationship – friend or family, any of the aforementioned is unacceptable. Despite their direct, forward and well-planned approach to life, they are some of the most humorous people! The capricorn will keep you in stitches with their candid and casually dry sense of humor, which can become mean-spiritied and hurtful if you become a target of this astral sign’s wrath. Capricorn’s zodiac symbol is the goat and the similarities between this animal and those that fall under this sign are astounding. Like the goat, the Caps are normally introverted — or classified as the loner type — quirky and most comfortable by themselves. Reason being: they aren’t too quick to trust folks, so, instead of taking a chance, they keep to themselves. Another goat-like trait that tends to be recurring is their love of the outdoors — true lovers of nature. They will take a hike up a hillside, run for miles or take in the beauty of nature and it’s surroundings sitting by a lake or during a stroll through the park. This zodiac sign is a true adventurer and is not above being a nomad, wondering around the world to fulfill the depths of their cultural explorations. But if the goat is too extreme, they are prone to become comfortable with being lonely and, as a result, they come off as socially awkward or “out there.” But, again, they make you wonder what’s on their mind because, undoubtedly, it WILL be interesting! If you are so lucky to have one the most complex zodiacs in your life, you can hang your hat on that person being a dependable, sturdy partner. Once they are committed to a relationship, they are constantly working to keep their union a smooth operational unit and making it better. They are extremely loyal to their partners and it took some time for the Capricorn to allow that person into their intimate space, so for them, it is to be considered a privilege not to be forsaken or betrayed. If you cross that line with them, the goat will instantly become closed off and unresponsive … and they can give a mean silent treatment like no other! And when they do finally open their mouthes to express the pain you’ve cause, you better be ready pick your face, ego and pride off the floor … and sometimes the damage is irreparable. Sex with the Capricorn is truly an adventure and experimental, their sexual prowess matches their attitude towards any other endeavor: success is the only option and their eyes stay on the prize. They take their time with their lover to learn what they like and how to best deliver it … regardless of location. Yes, location — there are no boundaries to when and where! The office, the car, in the park under the stars, the kitchen … if there’s space and opportunity, why not? The Capricorns are often very playful in the bedroom, indulging and fulfilling each others fantasies and exploring the pleasures that sex brings. Anyone who has had the experience of loving on a Cap enjoyed every moment of their blissful splendor! And with every one of those moments, his/her message was clear: my love is true. My sister is a Capricorn and she is crazy! If you cross her, she will strike you with mighty force and turn green! And grow muscles! She is such a square and is extremely anal but she’s a really great person. If I had to place my sister in a category of some sort, I would say that she is a no nonsense kind of person and she could really loosen up sometimes but when she does, she’s a lot of fun! Another thing I wish I could do is take her shopping and edge up her style a little bit but if I did, I don’t believe she would be cool with the colors and pieces she should wear! Her body is gorgeous but she’s so “plain Jane.” I love her. She’s great but it a good thing we live states away, for sure. Otherwise, we would always fight like we did when we were little girls. – Melinda, 28 I’m a Capricorn and so is my wife so we but heads all the time! I didn’t realize how much of control freak she is until we got married! She is incredible! As much as she drives me crazy, I love her just as much. My life wouldn’t function properly without her because she’s very organized and takes deadlines seriously and I do too. There are definitely time where when I fall short in that arena, she can take the wheel and I don’t have to worry about it because we’re kind of type A. We’re always on the same page in that respect. Our sex life is very active and we always make time to do what we do. We might drive up to the mountains and ski for a weekend, go see a movie or lay around the house naked together. She still turns me all the way on after 8 ling years and I keep her content also. I’m confident of that. – Jabril, 35 The Capricorns that I know, I either hate them or love them! My son is a Capricorn and he used to get his a*s handed to him by his sister all the time. He is very manipulative and bossy and my girls weren’t having it! They broke him down through the years and I think because he them he’s a little more tolerable of other people’s circumstance. He can be very judgmental and cruel but we had to really check it before it got out of control, you know. He’s 21 now and he’s a really good guy, in terms of how he treats women and friends but I often wonder if he didn’t have his sisters, how much of an a*shole he’s be. I love my son with all my heart and he knows that but learned the hard way that he is not above or better than anyone. – Gail, 44 I am a Capricorn and I think I’m the freakiest of them all! Nobody can top some of the things that I’ve done and I know it. I like adventure play and toys — handcuffs, hot candle wax and light bondage — you know, that kind of thing! What I don’t think people realize about us it that we have a dark side and if anybody could pull off leading a double life, it would be us Capricorns! There’s not a whole lot that I wouldn’t try at least once and never see or speak to that person again in my life! Don’t be fooled by our schoolgirl exterior because we can hang with the best of the best. I’m just saying! – Nicole, 30 Shouts out to all the Capricorns this year! Happy birthday and make it a good one! Happy New Year, Bossip Fam! Have a blast and please be safe! Please remember to e-mail all your topic suggestions, feedback and questions to loveandrelationships@bossip.com !

From Rant to Riches: Angry student tops the list of most watched YouTube videos of 2010

A student’s video rant over an attack on his sister has become YouTube’s most-watched video of the year. Antoine Dodson, who lived in the impoverished neighbourhood of Lincoln Park in Alabama, unleashed an angry, but comical tirade at a local news reporter which has since been turned into a song by a New York duo. Musicians Evan and Michael Gregory transformed Dodson’s words into an auto-tuned song, ‘Bed Intruder’ which has received a total of 61 million hits. Scroll down to watch the ‘Antoine Dodson’ video as well as the others that made the top 10 list Rags to riches: A song based on Antoine Dodson’s furious TV interview became the internet’s most viewed video in 2010 The power of YouTube: Dodson has earned several lucrative advertising offers and has bought a house which he has moved his family into from the run down neighbourhood they lived in The song broke into the top 25 iTunes singles of the week with the Gregorys and Dodson splitting the revenue from the track 50/50. Reaction to the video has earned the flamboyant 24-year-old a deal with computer giant Apple, as well as countless other lucrative advertising offers. The internet star’s official website also calls on people to ‘Help the Dodson family out’ by donating money to their cause. Fourth place: A video from the ‘Annoying Orange’ series had ‘talking fruits’ reenacting the Budweiser ‘Wassup’ commercial that aired during the 2000 SuperBowl His newly found fame and fortune has enabled Dodson to move his family out of the run down neighbourhood they were in and buy a new home for his sister and her children. ‘Blessings come in disguise,’ Mr Dodson said. He also put up for sale a Halloween costume of the outfit he was wearing when he was first interviewed which promptly sold out. YouTube separated commercial music videos from their top-10 list. Man on a horse: The popular Old Spice commercial that captivated viewers this year came in fifth place Otherwise, all the top 10 videos would have been by either Justin Bieber, Shakira, Eminem, Rihanna or Lady Gaga. With more than 406 million views, Bieber’s video for ‘Baby’ trumped all others. The second most-watched video was a made-for-YouTube riff: a parody of Ke$ha’s ‘Tik Tok’ by the musical sketch web series Key of Awesome. More than 50.6 million have watched the mock version of the popular pop song. Bieber fever: This 3-year-old girl hysterically cried at not being able to see teen heartthrob Justin Bieber but was surprised on Jimmy Kimmel’s show with a visit from her idol In the third most-watched video, a potential new pop star was born. In it, 13-year-old Greyson Chance (who has been compared to Bieber) sings Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’ while playing piano at a sixth-grade music recital. His female classmates looked on in awe at their new heartthrob as he stunned them with his rendition of the 2009 hit. A teacher testified afterwards: ‘In my opinion, he just taught Lady Gaga a lesson’. Fourth place is a video from the ‘Annoying Orange’ series where ‘talking fruits’ reenact the Budweiser ‘Wassup’ commercial that aired during the 2000 SuperBowl – but with a clever but sinister twist halfway through. Top 10 YouTube videos (Scroll down to watch every video on the list) 1. BED INTRUDER SONG!!! (now on iTunes) 2. TIK TOK KESHA Parody: Glitter Puke – Key of Awe$ome #13 3. Greyson Chance Singing Paparazzi 4. Annoying Orange Wazzup 5. Old Spice | The Man Your Man Could Smell Like 6. Yosemitebear Mountain Giant Double Rainbow 1-8-10 7. OK Go – This Too Shall Pass – Rube Goldberg Machine version 8. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE – Trailer 9. Jimmy Surprises Bieber Fan 10. Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l’Autodrome The popular Old Spice commercial that captivated viewers this year came in fifth. It didn’t hurt that it involved a half naked man on a horse. Meanwhile, a hysterical man’s description of a double rainbow sighting had many viewers wandering what the man had possibly ingested that made him so happy. This sixth place video was taken at Yosemitebear Mountain. OK Go’s video to ‘This Too Shall Pass’ is a fascinating visual starting off with a domino effect but leading to a complicated Rube Goldberg assemblage that lasts the entirety of the video. The footage of Jimmy Kimmel surprising a delighted 3-year-old Justin Bieber fan with an appearance by her idol was eighth on the list. The initial tape of the toddler crying over not being able to see Bieber was also a big hit after her family uploaded it onto YouTube. The trailer for Twilight Saga: Eclipse got over 17 million fans logging in to watch and a stunt video of rally driver Ken Block speeding around the track rounded up the top ten list. YouTube said it made an exception in its rankings for OK Go’s music video because the band is no longer on a major label. In March, the band left EMI’s Capitol Records to start Paracadute Recordings. Mia Quagliarello, YouTube community manager, noted that several of 2010’s top videos were made by people or companies that attempt to create YouTube videos for a living. YouTube shares advertising revenue with uploaders who are ‘partners.’ Many of the so-called amateurs that helped build YouTube have gone pro. ‘More and more people are seeing YouTube as a place they can make it their career,’ said Ms Quagliarello. ‘We try to give them the tools and the financials to make that happen.’ The top 10 YouTube videos
