Bow Wow Speaks On BET, Acting, and YMCMB

Image
Bow Wow stopped by DJ Whoo Kid to talk about his new hosting gig, his acting ability, and his status with his record label. On hosting 106 & Park : “It’s better than cool. It’s greater than great,” he explained of his situation at BET. “It’s what I wanted. For me to be young, only 25 and already have this type of position on a billion dollar network, it’s major.” On acting, specifically finding it easy to cry on camera: “It’s not [hard to cry]. Once you tap into character and you understand the story, you’re golden from there. Everything else after that is pretty much easy.” On why it seems the YMCMB family seems distant “from the outside looking in”: “We are all our own individual artists with our own unique way of getting it how we’re getting it. It’s hard for us to always be together so from the outside looking in, a lot of people say we’re distant but to us, we’re not. We always know where everybody is at all times. For me, I’m in this situation where I can’...

Where Does Rooney Fit Into Fergie's Plan As United Close in on £18m Lewandowski?

Image
The prospect of Manchester United signing Robert Lewandowski for £18m next summer is a mouthwatering one for Sir Alex Ferguson and the club’s fans. Lewandowski up front alongside Robin van Persie, supported by his old Borussia Dortmund teammate Shinji Kagawa, with Antonio Valencia on one flank and Ashley Young on the other. It does, however, pose one vexing question: Where’s Wayne Rooney? Even if you ignore Javier Hernandez and Daniel Welbeck for a moment – and that’ s not something Ferguson can easily do – Lewandowski’s arrival would, at the very least, put pressure on the automatic place that seems to have been Rooney’s by right since he moved to Old Trafford from Everton in the summer of 2004. It would be sheer folly to discount England’s first-choice striker, and one of the greatest players of his generation, just yet. At 27, Rooney is in his prime. But a wretched performance at Swansea on Sunday, when he was hooked by Ferguson 12 minutes from time, was hardly...

Knowles Channels MJ!

Image
Beyonce on Instagram We can all admit it is a little weird seeing one of the most private celebs of this time posing it up in high fashion gear and silly pics but we wanted more of Beyonce, and we are definitely getting it. Hopefully, she’ll get the hang of things and spruce up her galleries with teaser shots from videos , behind the scenes of her photo shoots and some hints of who she’s been hitting the studio with. We want in. Yesterday, she hit up Instagram and posted a series of shots while showing love to the late icon Michael Jackson.  It would not be a huge surprise if she’s been spending her holidays studying the tapes of his performances so that she can bring us one of the biggest, hottest Super Bowl shows since MJ’s 1993 half-time show. Back in June, The Dream declared her the best performer since Michael Jackson after attending her show at Revel:

Image
Nicki Minaj was clearly raring to show off her new presents to the world. The Super Bass rapper showed off her ample cleavage as she stepped out on Christmas Day evening in a very revealing catsuit. Nicki, 30, was the guest of honour as she was attending her own festive party which was held at Webster Hall in New York City. It is unclear whether Nicki, who celebrated her second multi-platinum album this year when Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded topped both US and UK album charts, will perform during her stint. The New Year's Eve celebration marks the culmination of a big year for the rapper, who also starred in a three-part fly-on-the-wall documentary series, and was appointed a judge on hit show American Idol for which she is expected to earn between $8 to $12 million. And the $5million fee Nicki is set to receive for the New Year's Eve gig is reportedly $1million more than world-famous superstar Beyoncé is making when she takes home $4million for an invitation-on...

Image
She has been enjoying a well-deserved break at a luxury villa in her native Barbados during the run-up to Christmas. But Rihanna’s repose was interrupted during a sunning session on Sunday. A male fan allegedly attempted to make his way inside the star’s house as she spent her day with friends.

The website also said that while police were called to the scene, the man, who wore just a pair of swimming trunks, had already left by the time they arrived, and Rihanna was in no danger. However, The Sun reported that the man had managed to get within '10ft' of Rihanna before the singer's security team got involved. A witness told the publication: ' The guy got to within about 10 to 12ft of where Rihanna was sitting before he was apprehended by security. 'He looked fairly harmless but it was a little...
