Young women across the nation may fantasize about him shirtless, but Taylor Lautner has a fantasy of his own. “Winning an Oscar is the ultimate dream,” the actor tells Seventeen . “A lot of amazing actors go their whole career without even being nominated. So that would definitely be a goal to reach. It’s a difficult one, but I’m aiming for it!” In the meantime, Lautner will have to be satisfied with his yearly victory in THG’s unofficial Best Use of a Six-Pack contest. Taylor will next be seen in Abduction , which comes out on September 23 and co-stars Lily Collins . Says the handsome star’s of his girlfriend: “You can feel some sort of chemistry of a connection when you are reading a script with someone for the first time. And that was totally the case with Lily.”
Saying he “let my words get the best of me”, Soulja Boy wrote an apology letter today after coming under heavy fire for perceived anti-military lyrics . While a line like “F**k the Army troops” is open to some interpretation … it’s clear what the message was in his recently-released rap, “Let’s Be Real.” In any case, the star just posted a blog entitled titled, “I Am Deeply Sorry To All Members Of The United States Military Services And Their Families.” Several military vets lashed out against Soulja Boy after he released the rap. One former sergeant even released his own rap dissing the celebrity. He tried to explain where he was coming from, but for the most part, Soulja owned his mistake and came off sincere on GlobalGrind (dot) com. Soulja Boy comes right out and says that in criticizing the military, “not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them.” Soulja’s apology letter appears after the jump …. As an artist, I let my words get the best of me. Sometimes there are things that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put them on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong. When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics. As a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our country fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. Soulja Boy – Let’s Be Real I have seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed in battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this country are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if we had never gone to war. Where would our economy be? Our schools, our after-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got shot in New York City just this past weekend … in 3 days … I’m not saying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point we have to take care of our own people. In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms … a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in … In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven’t been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry. ~Soulja Boy
A number of military veterans are demanding an apology from Soulja Boy after the rapper ignited a wave of controversy with his song, “Let’s Be Real.” After plugging his Twitter page (really), Soulja drops this bomb: “F**k the FBI and the army troops … fighting for what? Be your own man … I’ll be flying through the clouds with green like I’m Peter Pan.” Mmmyeah. Soulja Boy – Let’s Be Real Fred A. Flores, a retired U.S. Marine and commissioner for the L.A. County Veteran’s Advisory Commission, spoke out against this “offensive statement.” Flores, who has two children currently serving in the military, calls Soulja Boy “Ungrateful” … adding, “He should apologize to ALL armed forces.” “[The rap] is very irresponsible, especially for an entertainer for the youth of our country, and especially with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up.” Seriously, Soulja. Just because you spell your name wrong doesn’t give you license to start bashing actual soldiers who protect your ass daily.

T Pain is notorious for rocking some of the most outrageous chains in Hip-Hop from remakes of the Kool-Aid man to an array of bottles of alcohol. While some call it art, we call it a little dumb ridiculous and distracting from those classic auto tuned tracks he’s famous for. We have to give Pain his props however, unlike a number of rappers who’ve had their chains snatched (Hi, Yung Berg!), all of Teddy Pain’s chains are intact…but then again who’d want to steal a Ciroc chain anyway?
