It’s starting to look as if M.I.A.’s flippin’ of the bird has caused more noise than Madonna’s overall set. Has she fled the country due to all the controvery? ‘Get Informed’ with details, after the jump!

A source has told TMZ is reporting that M.I.A. will end up paying any fines imposed on NBC as a result of her finger wag during the Super Bowl halftime show. The source says the NFL has indemnified NBC … because the NFL is responsible for the halftime content. But the NFL was smart, given the history of performers who wanted to do something shocking to get attention during the biggest TV event of the year. M.I.A. signed a contract with the NFL for the halftime performance, and in that contract M.I.A. agreed to indemnify the NFL for any money it might be forced to pay if the FCC comes down on the Peacock Network.

The whole “flippin’ of the bird” may have been just a bit too much for the International Star. The New York Daily News reports that M.I.A. has left the Big Apple to spend time away from the Super Bowl scandal in her hometown of London. It is also being reported she has seperated from her fiance Benjamin Bronfman.

A source told the website that M.I.A. sometimes goes six weeks without seeing” Ikhyd and appears to be living a separate life from Benjamin, who was also reportedly seen on a date with a mystery woman last week.

Stay posted for details.

Last week when Nicki Minaj’s RIDER was exposed, we was shocked to find out that it wasn’t too demanding. Just days later, Kanye West’s RIDER has hit the net, and you can best believe it’s extra!

The Sun reports:

The rapper’s ridiculous rider from his recent Australian tour has leaked Down Under. He demands that any drivers ferrying him are clad in 100 per cent cotton: No man-made fibres.

He also had Versace towels shipped over which were then cut into smaller sizes so he could wipe his brow on stage.

He has been filmed by a crew following the launch of his new fashion label KW – which should be TV gold when it’s broadcast.

Beyonce FINALLY made her return to the scene, just weeks after delivering Blue Ivy. What could bring the superstar out, her husband Jay Z who performed at Carnegie Hall. Tickets for the momentous event ranged from $150 to $2000. Money raised will go towards gifted high school students who aren’t able to afford the cost to attend college. From reports that I have seen about the concert, it will make it hard for another Hip Hop artist to come after him. Let’s be real, will there be another artist to do what he just did?

Nas, Alicia Keys, Questlove joined Jay on stage for some of his biggest hits of his career from 1996′s Reasonable Doubt to his latest releasing single, Glory (an ode to his daugher).

And, of course, after the show it’s the After Party! The After Party was held at the 40/40 Club.

After the jump, check out pictures and video of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Jay Z, Nas and more.

Last night, the “reunion” of Vh1′s Love & Hip Hop aired. Not the usual reunion, but the ladies all sat down with Executive Producer, Mona Scott, (besides Chrissy who sat down with her assistant) to discuss some of the BIGGEST moments of the season. The individual interviews were done because the girls would not do a regular reunion show. With the ‘Reality Check’, we got to see alot of Behind The Scenes footage that we didn’t get to see between Chrissy, Kimbella, Emily B, Somaya, Yandy, Olivia, and even Jim.

From the popularity of all the Reality TV shows (Mob Wives, Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, Survivor, etc) it is no secret that we like “reality”. Well, if you like “reality”, this may not be for you. Discovery Channel is bringing you REALITY with Investigation Discovery’s ‘The Injustice Files-At The End Of A Rope’.

On the latest edition, host Keith Beauchamp investigates four cases of African-American men, who were found hanging from trees near their homes, one right here in Maryland. Did they commit suicide? or were these deaths part of a far more sinister act of modern day lynching?

Tune in on February 21st at 8pm for ‘The Injustice Files: At The End Of The Rope

This has to be the funniest and cutest video I have seen in a while. On last Friday, Mindless Behavior returned to Baltimore to promote their new clothing line at K-Mart. It just so happens that one of my friend’s(Kyrell) daughter, Kamhari Baker (aka Mink) actually made it through the thousands of kids to meet Mindless Behavior. Let’s just say, she is a trueeee fan of Mindless Behavior, especially Princeton.
