Stacey Dash Will Not Be Returning to Single Ladies

With reports of her being fired from the show buzzing around the blogosphere, Stacey Dash has finally broken her silence about the possibility of continuing her starring role on VH1's Single Ladies. She has released a statement exclusively to GlobalGrind,

"I truly enjoyed playing Val on 'Single Ladies', but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in LA with my children right now and the 'Single Ladies' shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one."

VH1 has also released a statement,

"VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making ‘Single Ladies’ a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans."

Kelly Rowland Reveals Beyonce's Expected Due Date + Celebs Speak on the News!

Beyoncé‘s announcement that she is with child and her amazing belly-touting performance was certainly among the many highlights at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The news of the R&B diva’s pregnancy shocked everyone at the awards ceremony except for one person, fellow Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland. She said she knew for awhile that Bey was expecting her first baby with hubby Jay-Z and she couldn’t be more happy for her.

“I think she’ll be an incredible mother,” K. Row told E! Online. “She’s always been motherly. I think that takes after so many traits from her mother [Tina Knowles]. I just think it’s going to be so natural for her. It’s natural for her now. I can’t believe this to this day.

An inside source said Monday that Beyonce is "close to three months along" in her pregnancy, adding, "She wasn't going to announce it but she is so excited she couldn't hold it in." This a true relationship and very tight-knit circle of friends. Three months along and no one went behind Bey's back and told the world, crazy! Most likely Beyonce's due date is mid to late February of 2012.

Check out what J. Cole, Jessie J, and more had to say about the news after the jump!

Steve Stoute On Jay-Z Responding To Lil Wayne: “Jay Is SO MUCH Bigger Than Rap At This Point.”

For an upcoming interview for NecoleBitchie.com, Jay-Z's close friend and business partner, Steve Stoute explains why he feels we won't be hearing any response from Jay-Z regarding Lil' Wayne's "baby money" line on "It's Good."
‘For Jay-Z to do ANYTHING that resembles moving backwards right now would be insane. And a Jay-Z beef is moving backwards. Jay is SO MUCH bigger than rap at this point. He’s a movement. And THAT’S where his head is at. That’s where his focus is. And NO ONE is on his level, even worthy of him battling with. No one. So you probably won’t see that happen.’
Soo.. i'mma jump out on a branch and say Wayne's "i know there won't be any repercussions," quote was code for "I know Jay-Z won't do anything about it since he's on another level, BUT i need to sell records so lemme leak this track before the album drops." I feel like some people underestimate Wayne's intelligence. He knows what he's doing. Wish i knew what he was thinking though. I will say this.. this is the 3rd or 4th post i've done regarding this situation in about 2 days.. yeah Wayne knows what he's doing.



Jay-Z & Kanye to Hit the Stage During the VMA's?


Word in the blogosphere is that Jay-Z and Kanye West are getting up off their big thrones to perform at tomorrow's VMAs!

Who knew the two hip-hop superstars were even coming to this year's Moonman shindig. Mark Malkin from E! says "When I was down at Nokia Live on Thursday to get a peek at the seating arrangement, there were no placards for Jay-Z or West."

I'm told most of the MTV crew and production team don't even know yet when they'll actually take the stage during the show.

What song do you guys want to see them perform? What if they bring of Frank Ocean!?




Video: Drake Comments on Lil' Wayne's Jay-Z "Diss"


“I just got a beat and did a verse over it,” Drake told MTV News from the red carpet for the BMI Urban Awards n L.A. on Friday before he accepted the award for Songwriter of the Year. “Whatever any other individual has to say, you have to ask the man himself. I just did what I know how to do. I just got on a record. I heard the beat, did a verse and heard the final product.”
Seems like everyone is pointing the finger at Wayne..a few days ago, Jadakiss, who also is featured on the track, tweeted:
"Yall hating a** c*cksuckers better chill..they only sent me a track wit NO verses and I recorded that verse 3 months ago! #leavemeoutofit"

"When I DISS n*ggas or have a problem Wit ANY RAPPER I SAY THere NAMES without hesitation and YALL know this already!"

"On my way back to NY,pardon the outburst but N*ggas Know Better! #anybodycangetit"
(Jadakiss' Twitter)
Even Wayne said he knows there will be no repercussions behind what he said.

Lil’ Wayne On Jay-Z Diss: “I Know There Won’t Be Any Repercussions Behind What I Did”


Lil’ Wayne speaks with VIBE Magazine for their upcoming Oct/Nov issue on his jabs to Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé on “It’s Good” off  Tha Carter IV. Weezy apparently feels very confident that nothing will come from his verse and feels it’s just another song.
“I know there won’t be any repercussions behind what I did, I know for a fact music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. I know that for a fact. So I can’t ever be upset about someone’s reaction. I’m not going to say I don’t know what would happen before I even say [something on record] I do know what will happen. I’m aware of it. But it is what it is.”

Video: Oh? The Game Clearly Needs Some Anger Management Classes

Seems like The Game tried to punch his way into rap relevancy, a new promo tactic i'm assuming. TMZ.com caught Jayceon on camera screaming at his "girlfriend" after she tried to help break up a fight between him and an unknown man. He should be happy she's not trying to break his bank.. that we know of.


For the Cause: Join Russell Simmons in taking the My Fellow American Pledge

Join Russell Simmons in taking the My Fellow American pledge:

“Muslims are our fellow Americans. They are part of the national fabric that holds our country together. They contribute to America in many ways, and deserve the same respect as any of us. I pledge to spread this message, and affirm our country’s principles of liberty and justice for all.”
My Fellow American is an online film and social media project that calls upon concerned Americans to pledge and spread a message that Muslims are our fellow Americans. It asks people of other backgrounds to pledge, and share a real life story about a Muslim friend, neighbor, or colleague that they admire. Using the power of social media, My Fellow American seeks to change the narrative – from Muslims as the other, to Muslims as our fellow Americans.
