PostHeaderIcon T.I. IS A SNITCH!!!

On the last episode of T.I’s Road to Redemption, T.I. slipped up and said that Janet Jackson and JD are already married:

During a scene where he visited a class of elementary students, he allowed them to ask questions. Here’s how it went down:

Little boy: If you had choice between Mary J. Blige or Janet Jackson, who would you marry?

T.I: Well they’re both married, so I wouldn’t marry a married woman.

Kels Sidebar: POW! Janet is known to hide something!

PostHeaderIcon T-PAIN IN SERIOUS GOLF-CART ACCIDENT

T-Pain has been hurt after a golf-cart accident in Texas.

Sources tell Rap-Up.com that the 23-year-old singer, born Faheem Najm, was in an accident involving his golf cart earlier this week in San Antonio. T-Pain reportedly lost four teeth and received abrasions and bruises to his face. He will have to undergo surgery.

As a result, he was a no-show on the I Am Music tour with Lil Wayne in San Jose, Calif., on Friday night. He will also miss his Los Angeles show on Sunday.

The “Can’t Believe It” hitmaker was subsequently forced to cancel his appearance in Lil’ Kim’s “Download” video, which was filmed Saturday in West Hollywood. He will be added to the video once he recovers.

PostHeaderIcon Keri Hilson Goes-Off On Haters, Again

Nigel D over at Real Talk NY caught up with Keri Hilson yesterday in New York. In this really interesting interview, the singer sounds off at the haters who turned up to her album release party, the shadiness of the music industry as well as ‘that’ remix to ‘Turnin’ Me On (Off)’.

Watch: Keri Go Off

Keri’s album ‘In A Perfect World…’ is looking set to debut at #3 with sales between 80,000- 90,000 sold first week. Not bad at all…all things considered.

PostHeaderIcon Sneak Peek At Beyonce’s Opening of ‘I Am’ tour

Beyonce kicked off her much anticipated ‘I Am…Tour’ last night in Rexall Place in Edmonton, Canada. Interestingly enough, there was a no-media rule enforced, meaning there will not be any professional pics from the show. Some reviewers are saying the fact such a small, remote town was used as the opening city was for no other reason than to do a ‘paid dress rehearsal’ of the show which is set to roll into big cities such as London, Paris and US territories later this Spring / Summer. Anyway, Peep vids from the show below (quality isn’t great, but best as of now)

Watch: Beyonce-Halo & If I Were A Boy

Big ups to my dude Sam over at That Grape Juice!

PostHeaderIcon Lil Kim Talks ‘Notorious’ Movie, and Calls Biggie’s Mom ‘Sick’ and More!

On a promotional stop for her current stint on Dancing With The Stars, Lil’ Kim stopped by the Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show this week. During the show, Kim addressed her displeasure with the recent B.I.G biopic ‘Notorious’. While Kim’s disapproval of her portrayal in the movie has been well-documented, this is the first time she spoke on camera about the issue. Let’s just say, she didn’t hold back.

PostHeaderIcon Beyonce A Game Geek!

Beyonce — who recently shot a commercial for the video game Rhythm Heaven — admits to being a gamer herself. She tells Entertainment Weekly, “I like all the Wii games. Love Guitar Hero. Growing up, I liked Tetris. I even like Brick-Breaker on the BlackBerry.” And she “definitely” wouldn’t mind seeing a Beyonce-inspired version of Guitar Hero. “I’ve actually played some karaoke games with the old Destiny’s Child songs. It’s so funny, because I don’t get great scores. I’m like, ‘How is that possible?’”
Beyonce says the first game system she ever had was “a Nintendo. I would play Super Mario Brothers. We weren’t supposed to play it after 9 o’clock, and I would sneak and play all night. I loved it.”
Beyonce’s I Am world tour kicks off March 26th in Canada, with the American leg getting going later this spring.

PostHeaderIcon Bobby V Taunting Chris Brown?

Bobby Valentino — who was rumored to be disgruntled that Chris Brown overshadowed his career — is having fun with Brown’s troubles with Rihanna.

I’ll treat you right girl.” Bobby, who claims he heard Rihanna was “a Bobby V. fan,” goes on to say a duet “would be a great start. She could play the flute.”

In other Chris news, He will not be enrolling at Norfolk State University as the rumor mill stated yesterday. While the singer was on the school’s Norfolk campus this weekend, T-M-Z-dot-com reports that he was only there to “support” his cousin, who is a prospective student.
