Halle Berry looked stunning at this year’s NAACP Image Awards. The event took place this weekend in LA where Denzel Washington, Willow Smith, Halle Berry and Tyler Perry won big. Halle won an award for her performance in “Frankie And Alice.” “If it were not for the NAACP, a little girl like me would not have had wind beneath her wings in a small town in Ohio,” Halle said. “I have never been more proud to be a Black woman.” -Halle Berry Idris Elba: “The Oscars Aren’t Designed For Us” Tyler Perry Thanks Black Women For His Wins At 42nd Annual NAACP Image Awards
It looks like Holly Madison was invited to yet another event over the weekend, I can’t keep track of all these things, but she’s got some great breasts that have had my attention for years now so I have to post pictures of them every chance I get. Honestly, who can concentrate on what the event is when those beautiful things are practically falling out of that dress of hers? She’s got two chicks with cupcakes on their breasts standing next to her and I still can’t look away from her cleavage. Impressive.
Lupe describes being held hostage by Atlantic, says next album is done Lupe Fiasco struggled to release his third album on Atlantic Records. It took over three years and picketing from fans before Lupe followed up his gold-selling The Cool . Despite platinum singles, gold plaques and Grammy Awards, the Chicago native said his budget was cut and he was stiffled creatively. “I was specifically told” — Fiasco chuckled — “‘Don’t rap too deep on this record.’” He laughed some more, telling the Chicago Sun-Times . “That was a specific order from the top. ‘You’re rapping too fast or too slow, or it’s too complex.’ … There are consequences and combat that comes from that process and the eventual compromise. With me, though, I’m not writing about someone else. I’m writing about me. This is my life. It’s very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging.” “I am a hostage,” Fiasco continued. “I gave them what they wanted. If I didn’t, at the end of the day the album wasn’t coming out.” The potentially good news for fans is that Lupe was busy recording his next album The Great American Rap Album while he was working on Lasers . He hopes to have that out before the end of 2011.

The ‘Love the Way You Lie’ duo will share the stage at the event’s two sites this August. By D.L. Chandler Eminem and Rihanna Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images After weeks of speculation, organizers for the United Kingdom’s annual V Festival have revealed the 2011 list of featured performers, which includes two Grammy-winning headliners from across the pond. Eminem and hit “Love the Way You Lie” duet partner, Rihanna , will be headlining acts for the popular summer concert event on August 20 in Weston Park. Arctic Monkeys and Plan B, meanwhile, will serve as co-headliners that day at a sister concert held simultaneously at nearby Hylands Park. On August 21, the two sets of headlining acts switch stages and hold another concurrent concert — a hallmark of the festival. Em’s involvement in the event had been rumored for weeks, but without any solid confirmation that the Detroit bad boy would appear. Rihanna’s inclusion in the concerts also had been questionable, but organizers worked hard to secure the singer. Eminem’s star has been aglow of late, with the popular MC basking in the success of his seventh studio effort Recovery , which helped him snag the coveted Rap Album of the Year Grammy award for a second year in a row. Slim Shady’s Grammy-winning co-star Rihanna — who is a record-setting female solo artist for sales in the U.K. — has had another successful year. The Barbadian pop artist’s fifth studio release, Loud , has sold more than 1 million copies so far. Eminem and Rihanna will be joined by a few of their stateside pals at the V Festival, along with many notable U.K. acts. Some of the other artists slated to play the festival include “Black and Yellow” star Wiz Khalifa, pop singer Bruno Mars, rock legends Duran Duran, DJ/producer Mark Ronson and grime rapper Dizzee Rascal. The U.K. event is not the only big festival that Eminem is set to headline this year. In June, the rap star will be among the featured acts at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Related Artists Eminem Rihanna
Consider it the peck heard ’round the world. Following last night’s Vanity Fair Oscars party, which featured the red carpet debut of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez as a couple, this pair exited the event and waited for their car to arrive. As they did so, Justin leaned in and delivered to Selena something about which millions of girls around the planet have dreamed: a peck on the lips. It was as quick as it was cute. Watch, swoon now and and send in your best wishes to this adorable, official twosome: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Kissing The night before the big event, sources confirm that Jelena stayed in a penthouse suite at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point, CA. During their time at the five-star resort, the pair were “affectionate, cuddling and holding hands” while walling along the beach, a witness said.
‘Anchorman’ star currently scheduled to appear in only four episodes. By Brian Warmoth Will Ferrell Photo: John Sciulli/ Getty Images Even if Will Ferrell doesn’t join “The Office” as a permanent cast member, his stint as a Dunder Mifflin branch manager already seems to have made an impact on the cast. Rainn Wilson confirmed the nature of Ferrell’s performance in the NBC series, which will soon see its figurehead, Steve Carell, depart, but Wilson also seemed a little star struck. “We’ve been doing a ton with Will Ferrell, and it is so cool,” Wilson told MTV News on Saturday night at the Independent Spirit Awards. “I just keep thinking, ‘I’m acting with Will Ferrell! This is so awesome!’ And he’s the nicest guy: just a sweetheart and so much fun.” Carell will leave a Michael Scott-sized hole when he exits the show at the end of the season, and Ferrell wanted to be a part of his “Anchorman” co-star’s final performances so much that he requested the part himself. His four-episode arc won’t install his character as the new man in charge, but it will showcase an epic fail on Scott’s part as Ferrell’s character asserts himself. “He is the new manager that Michael Scott has brought in to replace him, but we kind of swiftly realize that that’s a terrible idea. Terrible,” Wilson said. For now, exactly what Ferrell has been doing to warrant such reviews and possibly make Michael Scott look like a good management choice by comparison remains largely a mystery. More guest stars are expected to show up as Carell prepares to dedicate more of his life to making films, but it will be hard for anyone to stand toe-to-toe with Ferrell’s comedic talents. Ferrell’s effect on Wilson, meanwhile, should at least be potent enough to carry Wilson’s character (Dwight) well into the post-Scott era, however long that turns out to be. Whether a new actor emerges to take control of the company or one of the show’s other stars rises to the position, having the man who played Ron Burgundy in the same room as Carell for a while seems to be good for morale. Who do you think should play Michael Scott’s replacement? Tell us below!
