There's rumors that's swirling that the couple will be touring together this summer. According to New York Post's Page Six, Jay and Bey are gearing up to announce a 20-stadium U.S. tour that start in late June. The paper is even reporting that perhaps, maybe, possibly, the couple could perform in New York on the Fourth of July. Will this puts last summers' Jay and Justin Timberlake joint tour to shame? Both Jay and Bey recently finished up extensive tours. Jay finished his 52-date trek in support of his latest album, Magna Carta... Holy Grail in January, while Bey wrapped up her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour just a month ago. Recently, the two have made it a habit of appearing as surprise special guests at each others shows and wowed the crowed with their joint performance of "Drunk In Love" at the GRAMMYs in February.

As she say in the song, you don't want to make her your enemy. With Katy, it's less about memes and more about over the top costumes from hieroglyphic wigs, bejeweled grillz and goldplated minis. You will know once you watch the video! |

Shakira hips are rested after she admitted that they DON'T lie! Her and Rihanna have collaborated on a new track titled "Can't Remember to Forget," slated for release next week. Pitbull mentioned the news last month that the two singers were working together, but neither Shakira or Rihanna confirmed it, even after a 30-second snippet of the song leaked in December. Prompted by a fan tweet, Rihanna finally took to Twitter yesterday (Jan. 6) to let fans know the song will be released next Monday.
The song is expected to serve as the first single off Shakira's new forthcoming album out this spring, her follow-up to 2010's Sale El Sol. Last Month, Shakira took to Twitter to let fans know she just finished the music video for her first single with director Joseph Kahn. Shakira isn't the onlyone working on new music, though. Rih Rih will also be headed to the studio with DJ Mustard. In an interview with MTV, the DJ confirmed the news. "I'm finna go in [the studio] with Rihanna," he said. "I'm just doing what I think she would like, and if she don't like it, we'll just figure out something else in the studio, and I'll just keep making beats till we figure it out."

Kanye will kick off the second leg of his North American trek on February 13 in University Park, PA with nine additional stops throughout the month in Atlantic City, Baltimore and Albany, New York. Though Kendrick Lamar opened during the first half of the tour, 'Ye has yet to announce an opening act for these upcoming dates. On the last stop in Toronto of the first leg of Ye's Yeezus North American tour, he performed "Forever" and surprises the crowd by bringing out the very own OVO rapper Drake. Drake also performed "All Me". Watch it below. According to source, Kanye's tour became known for its nightly rants, but in Toronto last month, on the presumed last date of the tour, Kanye delivered an epic two-part 27-minute-tour-ending rant where he declared that it was the rant to end all rants: "This is the last time you'll hear me say anything negative about anyone."
Do you believe it? Do you think Kanye will get mad at something in the future and get rude again? Check out the newly added Yeezus tour dates below. 2/13 University Park, PA @ Bryce Jordan Center |

According to source; the "So Sophisticated" rapper Rick Ross is filing a suit against pop-EDM duo LMFAO over the refrain "Everyday I'm Shufflin'" from the bands 2011 smash, "Party Rock Anthem." The suit alleges that the phrase was lifted from Ross' 2006 debut single, "Husltin'," which refrain, "Everyday I'm hustlin." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the lawsuit, which was filed in Florida federal court, reads in part: The use of Hustlin' in Party Rock Anthem is readily apparent, despite the slight change from "Everyday I'm hustlin'..." to "Everyday I'm shufflin'..." and constitutes, inter alia, the creation of an unauthorized derivative work. The suit also cites the song's fortune outside of just record sales (7.5 million copies and counting), referring to the numerous and lucrative licensing opportunities Party Rock Anthem generated in everything from TV shows to video games to airline commercials. The phrase is so important to the success of Party Rock Anthem, that LMFAO launched a highly successful clothing line, Party Rock Clothing, that features the phrase on T-shirts and other clothing items, the lawsuit continued. LMFAO has yet to respond to the suit, with members Redfoo and Sky Blu still on self-imposed hiatus and working on solo projects. ![]() Earlier this week, Rick Ross released a new remix of Kanye West's much-discussed Yeezus single, "Bound 2", adding his own inimitable touches to West's track, which is the subject of its own legal dispute. West is being sued for an allegedly unpaid sample in the song from Ponderosa Twins Plus One's 1971 tune, "Bound." |

Spears was performing 'Circus' on her second night in Planet Hollywood with the zipper on the back of her dress opened up. exposing her entire back. The embarrassing moment was captured on video by one inspired fan and put on Instagram. To watch the video; check it out here. But the fierce "It's Britney B---h" that we all know her to be, the songstress quickly recovered from it. In fact, despite the mishap, Spears continued with her routine until one of hr backup dancers noticed the problem and was able to rush and zip her back up. Or at tried to, without any interruptions. We glad it was fixed and was not worse then what it was. Casino executives say the residency may be extended past its two-year slot if it is successful.

![]() Yes, the Destiny's Child singer and X Factor Judge announced it to the world yesterday that she is engaged to her manager, Tim Witherspoon. With weeks after it was rumored that the former Destiny's Child singer was engaged to her manager, Tim Witherspoon, Rowland confirmed the news during a visit to Queen Latifah's talk show on yesterday (Dec. 17th). "He put a ring on it," Rowland revealed before flashing the sparkling ring in the episode which aired on Wednesday. "Yes, it's official." "It's been a while. We've kept our relationship very, very low --- for years, to be completely honest," she told he talk-show host of her low-profiled relationship with Witherspoon. Rowland "surprised" her fans, just like Beyonce's secret album with the announcement. So, how did he proposed, how did it goes down? Rowland was asked. "He asked me first on Skype," Rowland said. "And i was like, 'We're so far away from each other. I was in, like, Bulgaria somewhere. But it was so late, I remember we were both just kinda like, honestly, just staring at each other. And he asked me, and I was just that simple to say 'yes.' I was like, I got my best friend to ride through life with.' He really is my best friend." Rowland first promoted engagement speculation in early November after she was spotted wearing a sparkly ring in an Instagram video. "She has been showing the ring off to friends and family and is very happy," a source told US Weekly at the time. "She wants to... enjoy it and celebrate for a big longer." This is the second engagement for Rowland, who was previously engaged to football player Roy Williams. Rowland's relationship news comes at a busy time for her.

Did you heard.... Justin Bieber retiring??? Naw. Can't be right?
while doing an interview on Tuesday, Bieber had an interesting answer when questioned about if a new album was coming. The DJ asked, "The new album, man. What's up with the new album? Give me names, give me dates." Bieber responded in a deep raspy voice, "This new album, I'm actually retiring man. I'm retiring. I'm just going to take some time. I think I'm probably going to quit music." Did you think Bieber going to really quit music? Because every artist that says that don't ACTUALLY quit music, they return in the long run. Also yesterday, the trailer for Bieber's new movie Believe was released, which hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Shortly after Midnight on Friday (December 13), Beyonce released her fifth album exclusively to Itunes with no fair warnings. The self-titled set is comprised of 14 songs and 17 videos, with all components available only through full album purchase. There are familiar collaborators and friends present on Beyonce, including hubby Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Drake and even baby girl Blue Ivy.
"I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it," Knowles said in a press release issued shortly after the album appeared on iTunes. "I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans." Not only is the emphasis on the full-length format (Bey calls it a "visual album"), there have been no singles from Beyonce released. The new songs Bey previewed throughout 2013 in Pepsi and H&M ads, online and even on her tour - "Grown Woman," "Standing on the Sun," "Grown Woman/I been On" and "God Made You Beautiful" -- are not even on the album. Billboard reports that "XO," co-written by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream, is the rumored lead single, though no announcement of any sort have been made by Bey or her label, Columbia Records. The label specially stayed mum when specifically asked about Bey's album back back in October, but mentioned that there would be big Columbia releases coming this December. Album collaborator Ne-Yo, or course, threw the Beyhive off the scent this past summer, saying that Knowles and co. were "still trying to figure out what they want that to be." It sounded like an odd way to phrase it at the time, but knowing what we know now about the visual emphasis on Beyonce, it makes more sense.
"I see music," Beyoncé continued in the release. "It's more than just what I hear. When I'm connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies. And they're all connected to the music." |
