Shaq Text Messages to Vanessa Lopez Exposed, Not Exactly Tiger-Esque

Compared to Tiger Woods, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s womanizing ways have almost been lost in the shuffle. Maybe he needs to send racier texts. Or have raunchy foursomes with J esse James . Anyway, some of the text messages Shaq sent to his mistress, Vanessa Lopez, have been revealed, supposedly after his wife Shaunie hired a private investigator. After finding the correspondence, she decided to to file for divorce! The texts don’t exactly rank with the Tiger Woods text messages to Joslyn James in terms of flat-out ridiculous sexual content, but do suggest an affair. An exchange dated September 4 went like this: Vanessa Lopez: “I have always been good to you. I am a very private person. I never spoke about us to anyone. Ever! Don’t deserve that from you.” “I am not wining. I just miss you so settle down.” Shaq: “Well just say that then I’m a c u tomorrow.” Then, another exchange of texts two days later: Vanessa Lopez: “I hope you had a wonderful day! I wish you were here papi ;)” Shaq: “Tomorro” Vanessa Lopez: “I will make sure I put on something very sexy for you ;)” Then, on September 7: Shaq: “Hey baby I’m still wit da babies. I’m sorry I’m a c u when I get bak” Vanessa Lopez: “I think you are such an amazing person inside and out. I truly wish you all the best in life. No one deserves it more than you.” Shaq: “Thanks baby I will make it up to u” Attorney Gloria Allred was hired to represent Vanessa Lopez in her harassment lawsuit against O’Neal. She claimes her affair with the NBA star lasted five years and ended badly when she thought she was pregnant with his baby. Lopez says that’s when Shaq began harassing her, going so far as to have a friend fly to Orlando, Fla., to track her down and, well, shut dat bitch up . O’Neal has also been linked to Swedish model Dominica Westling. A source familiar with the situation said the couple started their affair nearly two years ago and not only exchanges steamy emails but also have cybersex using a webcam. Lastly, he’s accused of sleeping with Laura Govan, Gilbert Arenas’ fiancee.

Will.I.Am, David Guetta, DJ Tiesto Rock Ultra Music Festival At WMC 2010

LMFAO, Will.I.Am guest during Guetta’s set. By Akshay Bhansali DJ Tiesto Photo: MTV News MIAMI — Dance music’s biggest weekend in America, kicked off with a series of powerful performances at Day 1 of the Ultra Music Festival (held during the Winter Music Conference), at Miami’s oceanfront Bicentennial Park. With a multitude of stages (and even a Heineken-inspired dome), the weekend’s line-up is probably UMC’s largest and most star-studded grouping yet, boasting over 200 DJs from around the world and the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, and David Guetta. Over at the UMF Ibiza Stage, both Kaskade and Will.I.Am dropped new material for fans — Kaskade from his forthcoming Dynasty LP and Will.I.Am for undetermined releases. “I think it’s important to come out to WMC to test out the new beats you’ve been making — rockin’ the crowds, learning from the crowds,” Will told MTV News Friday night, just before he took the stage again to join a close friend. Indeed, Black Eyed Peas collaborator and dance-music titan put on what seemed like a hip-hop collab fest, being joined by many friends on the Ultra main stage during the course of his set. Whipping the crowd into a frenzy with his thumping “Gettin’ Over” before transitioning into “One Love.” Will jumped onstage for “On the Dancefloor,” then Guetta charged into a series of his hits, including the Lil Jon/ DJ Chuckie remix of “Sexy Chick” and BEP’s “I Gotta Feeling.” He ended up closing his set with a premiere of a new song called “Getting Over You” (featuring LMFAO), and sure enough, the party rock duo, who are currently on tour with BEP, joined Guetta on stage for his finale. Closing out the night at Bicentennial Park was Dutch trance heavyweight DJ Tiesto , who had the thousands of fans in attendance clapping in unison for the majority of his nearly two-hour-long set. With pyrotechnics blasting, the crowd jumped to its feet, singing along with his Nelly Furtado collaboration “Who Wants To Be Alone” and other hits from Tiesto’s catalog, including “Escape Me,” I Will Be Here” and “Love Comes Again.” Related Videos Sights And Sounds From Winter Music Conference 2010 Related Artists Will.I.Am DJ Tiesto David Guetta

A-Trak On His And Travis Barker’s WMC Tribute To DJ AM

‘It was very important for me to have one show where I could do an official dedication’ to AM, A-Trak says. By MTV News staff, with reporting by Akshay Bhansali DJ A-Trak Photo: MTV News MIAMI — On Thursday night, Travis Barker, A-Trak, Lil Jon Jazzy Jeff and Steve Aoki were some of the guests on hand to honor the late DJ AM at an unannounced tribute show on Thursday night at Miami’s LIV nightclub during the Winter Music Conference. MTV News caught up with A-Track in the wee hours of Friday morning (March 26), after his set at the Fools Gold party at Grand Central. “At LIV, it was a party for DJ AM — obviously a dedication to him,” A-Trak said. “[He was] a dear friend of mine, we miss him a lot. I’m now doing shows with Travis, so it was very important for me, especially knowing how much Travis and AM established a partnership before [AM] passed, to have one show where I could really do an official dedication and a dedicated routine to him — a scratching thing that he particularly liked, and do it in his honor and pass the torch, in a sense.” The lineup of the show — part of the Winter Music Conference — was a tightly guarded secret , though most in attendance suspected that both Barker and Trak, who recently toured as a duo, were part of the bill. And when they hit the stage shortly after midnight, those suspicions were confirmed. The Hottest News From WMC 2010!

Cube Guys Hype Up WMC 2010 Crowd With ‘Scarface’ Sample, Coolio Remix

Their song ‘Scarcube,’ which samples Al Pacino lines from the movie, is a contender for this year’s WMC anthem. By Adam Stewart The Cube Guys Photo: MTV News The Cube Guys embrace an unmistakable sound that incorporates an eclectic blend of tribal house, electro house, fidget house and many other subgrenes that has consistently kept fans on their toes. The Italian duo first broke into the electronic-music scene back at the Winter Music Conference in 2005 with their club smash “Electro” and have been going strong ever since. WMC has been a perennial playground for the pair, who spent some time with MTV News after their set this year at Gansevoort Beach at the Stereo Recordings Playa party along with Chus and Ceballos . The Cube Guys, made up of Roberto Biffi and Luca Provera, dropped a monster anthem to start their set in front of an enthusiastic, bikini-clad crowd. The song, called “Scarcube,” is a strong contender for the WMC track of 2010 . The deeply sinister electro house track samples iconic Al Pacino lines from the film “Scarface.” “That’s a new track from us. It’s crazy, because we cut up all the Pacino voices, and we then built all of the tracks on top of it,” Provera recalled. “Everywhere we spin it, the people go crazy. They ask, ‘What is that? What is that? When is it coming out?’ We’re so surprised about it, but we love it, and we hope that it will have a good future. ‘Scarface’ is the Miami movie, so why not?” The fans packed 20 deep in front of the stage and fully embraced what is sure to become a Miami anthem. They then seamlessly segued into another new release, a huge remix of Coolio’s “Fantastic Voyage,” giving new life to the song that went double-platinum back in 1994 by putting their signature spin on the classic vocal and incorporating electronic horns and a driving beat. “We officially landed the remix of Coolio with Universal Records, so we’re really happy about it!” Provera said.
