"Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4"

hen Beyoncé took the stage back in August for four electrifying nights at the famed Roseland Ballroom, only 3,500 lucky fans per night, who bought those tickets in a record 22 seconds, were able to catch the intimate shows in the historic New York venue where she managed to turn a club into a coliseum. Praised as “robust,” “finely-tuned,” and “compelling” by The New York Times, “4 Intimate Nights With Beyoncé” at Roseland Ballroom, was a tour de force for the entertainer. It was the only time she would perform her new album, 4, almost completely and to a very limited audience. Backed by her all-female band, with an additional string section, the performances were punctuated with spirited stories detailing her journey before the album, 4, including her years before and with Destiny’s Child. On Monday, November 21, just in time for Thanksgiving, fans who longed to be at those shows can get up close and personal with Beyoncé and experience for themselves the energy and magic that filled the Ballroom with the release of Live At Roseland, exclusively at Walmart. The 26-song live DVD brings the quaint setting turn stadium performances to your living room. And on Tuesday, November 29, Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4 deluxe package, a two-disc DVD, with the complete concert, bonus offstage footage, a 20-page booklet and a video anthology that includes seven videos from her latest album, 4, will be released worldwide. The concert documentary is filled with never-before seen footage that captures Beyoncé’s life from eager five-year-old music fan to a consummate entertainer who is in control of every inch of her life and career. In advance of the DVD’s release, the new video for “Party,” included in the anthology on the deluxe DVD, will be on air on BET’s 106 & Park tonight and online with VEVO and Beyonceonline.com. Directed by Beyoncé and Alan Ferguson, “Party” is the sixth video released from “4” and features rapper J Cole with cameos from Solange and Kelly Rowland. Live At Roseland was directed by Beyoncé, Ed Burke and Anthony Green and executive produced by Beyoncé for Parkwood Entertainment, in association with Columbia Records.

Jim Jones Jumped in Harlem by Yandy’s Boyfriend?

This reality television ish may be getting way too real…
Yesterday, rumors hit the net claiming that Jim Jones was jumped in Harlem while leaving the studio. He allegedly got into a verbal argument with a man who is said to be the boyfriend of Jim’s ex-manager, Yandy Smith. After the verbal argument, the fight turned sinister as Jim was chased and then robbed by a group of men that are believed to have been with the man who is alleged to be Yandy’s boyfriend. Breakfast Club radio host Angela Yee claims that insiders close to Jim feel that the attack was orchestrated by Yandy.
Miss Info caught up with Jimmy last night and he confirmed that he was the victim of a ‘botched robbery’.

"I was in Harlem alone when three men stepped to me. Well, the first guy, I beat the sh*t out of him, then the second guy jumped in with a metal pipe. I was so amped up, I didn’t even feel him hitting me with it. I was still putting a beating on the first guy, but when the third guy pulled out a gun, I got out of there. I left. Anyone with a brain would do the same"

Jim told Info that he thought that they were after his jewelry and it was stupid of him to have his jewelry while out in Harlem alone. As for the rumors that the incident were related to another beef, he dismissed it and said it wasn’t worth addressing.

Yandy is about to make her television debut on season two of ‘Love & Hip Hop,’ and in the trailer that was released last week, the world saw the animosity that was brewing (and pretty much boiling over) between Jim, his girl Chrissy, and Yandy.

Gloria Govan Speaks On Break Up With Matt Barnes

Last week, Basketball Wives LA stars Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes announced that they had decided to end their ten year relationship. There is no telling how long they have been separated but it’s safe to say that they waited until the end of the Basketball Wives LA season to announce that they were no longer together. On Tuesday, VH1 caught up with Gloria during the Reunion show and she remained optimistic as she talked about the break up, on where she wants to go from here, what her family think about the separation and whether or not she sees them ever getting back together again

Your relationship has been shown a lot this season and we’ll see even more of what’s going on with you a the end of the season, but can you talk about your split?
Matt and I do have kids and we’re trying to be as cordial as we can right now and we’ll be in each other’s lives forever, but as relationships go, we have our ups and downs. It hasn’t been an easy ride moving across the country twice, having kids at 21 when I just graduated college, it hasn’t been easy. And now Matt has the lockout, so everything has been stressful with the breakup, the lockout, everything, it’s been a whirlwind. But we’re still friends and we’re still working things out and I wish him nothing but the best.
On her sister Laura believing that Matt and Gloria will get back together
Of course she does. My whole family is rooting for that man. I swear. They would pick him over me. I’m not going to say never, I’m optimistic, but for now…we’re going our separate ways. But if our paths cross again it’s meant to be. For now, we’re just taking our time to do our own thing. And Laura of course wants it. With her situation with Gilbert (Arenas), she’s been in and out, out and in. She has a lot of experience and good advice when it comes to situations like this.
Do you look up to her and think if they can get back together, anything’s possible?
Anything is possible but am I looking at them like “Yay, we can get back together because Laura and Gilbert have fluctuated so much and they are back together”? No. I look up to my sister, I think she’s a very string person but in terms of relationship, I’m walking to my own drum here.
Do you want to sow your oats and date other people, is that part of it?
I think that’s a lot of people’s assumption, that oh, she wants to f— around and f— everything because he did and it’s like NO. A), it’s such a double standard, even if I wanted to I can’t because they’d put me on blast if I did. And B) I have kids, you know? I’m not looking to date anyone at this moment, I’m just going to take this opportunity to take a step back and reevaluate where I wanna go in life. And I think I have a long way to go to make my mark in feature films and in my community, but I’m happy. I’m happy with where I am now.

I’ll be very surprised if they don’t get back together…

New Video :Beyonce "Party" remix with Jcole

And here it is… The third video from Beyonce in just under a month.
It doesn’t matter if it’s in a trailer park, an above-ground pool or a seedy motel room, King Bey shows us how she likes to party. And while she parties, (baby bump or not) she keeps it stylish with her wardrobe and the company she keeps. Look out for cameo appearances from Kelly Rowland, Solange on the 1s and 2s, fashionable rapper Theophilus London, eye-wear designers Coco & Breezy and up-and-coming model Shaun D. Ross.
The setting may be laid back, but Bey keeps that face beat and hair did.

KCole's new album in the works

Yesterday evening, Keyshia Cole Gibson treated fans to two snippets of off her forthcoming studio album ‘Woman to Woman’ via Ustream. Although the album won’t be available until February 2012, she said she hopes to preview a new track from the project every week.

During the Ustream session, she also explained that she would like to have Drake on her uncompleted single ‘Forever’ and while it’s uncertain whether Brandy will be featuring on her first single ‘Women to Women’ which drops in December, she says she wouldn’t mind having Melanie Fiona step in.

Drake celebrated his 25th birthday over the weekend at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas

Although it appears as though his Young Money family were absent from the festivities, his OVO crew held him down and got the party jumping. The fellas quenched their thirst with a little Martini Moscato d’Asti while jamming to DJ Future the Prince and DJ Vice on the turntables.

Drizzy was really feeling himself and in good spirits that night. He grabbed the mic and told the partygoers:

    "I’m here for ya’ll tonight; if you want to drink, if you want to dance, if you want to party—ladies, if you want to f**k, I’m ’bout whatever. I turned 25 and I just want to thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight. I appreciate it. Let’s have some fun."

Is Monica Preggers???

Could Monica be bringing a ‘New life’ into the world very soon? And we aren’t talking about the title of her album either.. It was hard not to notice that she kept her stomach covered this weekend as she celebrated her 31st Birthday in Atlanta while spending time with Family and friends.  She was spotted enjoying the Scream Tour with her sons Rocko and Romelo, as well as Tiny and her son Major.

Mya Celebrates her 32nd Bday!

Nicki Minaj isn’t the only one that is wearing food around her neck.  Mya celebrated her 32nd birthday last week alongside Baby in a colorful dress, complete with a pretzel necklace.

Mathew Knowles’ Mistress Claims He Wanted Her To Give Her Baby To Beyonce & Jay-z | Necole Bitchie.com

Another day, another Knowles Controversy… In the midst of the drama surrounding Beyonce and what people believe could be a ‘fake baby bump’, the mistress and mother of Mathew Knowles’ love child is spilling some crazy tea.
According to Mathew’s mistress Alexsandra Wright, he suggested that she give up her baby to Beyonce and Jay-z when he found out that she was pregnant. If things went as planned, Beyonce would have raised her half-brother as if it was her very own son. She tells Star Magazine

“My first though when he asked me if I would give up our child to Beyonce and Jay-Z was, ‘Are you out of your mind?’”
“Nothing in the world, no amount of money would make me give up my child, you can’t buy my child from me![...]Maybe Mathew thought money could buy anything.”

She also revealed that when she rejected Mathew’s request, he offered her money to leave his name off of the birth certificate. She rejected that as well.
She eventually filed a paternity suit against Mathew Knowles which she won and Mathew was ordered to pay $8200 a month in child support. Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles filed for divorce from Mathew shortly afterward and Beyonce followed suit by ending her business relationship with her father.
As horribly messy as this may seem, Alexsandra didn’t throw Beyonce and the Knowles family completely under the bus. She tells the magazine:

‘I don’t believe that Beyonce or anybody else has a clue about what was flying out of Mathew’s mouth,’ she insisted.
‘I don’t think it was anybody but Mathew.’

As far as her current relationship with Mathew, she claims that he hasn’t seen his son but she’s perfectly fine with that. Her current boyfriend, Harvey Waldon of Celebrity Fit Club Fame, has stepped in and taken over Daddy duties.

Beyonce f/ J. Cole – “Party” (Remix) | Necole Bitchie.com

It looks like J. Cole can cross a collaboration with Beyonce off of his bucket list.
Shortly after J. Cole’s Cole World topped the billboard charts, it was announced that he may have replaced Andre 3000 on the remix of one of 4‘s most popular tracks, “Party.”
To add fuel to the rumors, J. Cole had to skip out on a meet & greet with Detroit Radio Station 102.7 a few weeks ago so he could film his scenes for the video in Britton, MI. Although the video won’t be premiering until this coming Tuesday, October 26, on “106 and Park,” we’ve got a special treat in the form of the official track that hit the web a few hours ago.
Although I’m disappointed that 3 stacks won’t be appearing in the video (where has he been hiding??)

Kanye West Announces First 'G.O.O.D. Music' Album

The tweets are always watching. Last night, (Oct. 19) Kanye West sent out a rare message through cyber space. His simple announcement,"GOODMUSIC.THE ALBUM.SPRING2012," set off mountains of speculation.
We're short of details as of now, but expect more clues to surface throughout the week.
In related news, CBS announced that the rapper will be performing at the event along with Maroon 5 on Nov. 29 at 10 p.m. ET.

West returned fresh from Paris' Fashion Week earlier this month after unveiling his clothing line, Dw , dedicated to his late mother Donda West. He revealed the contemporary European/ hip-hop urban line to a packed house with the likes of Mary Kate & Ashley, Ciara and Lindsay Lohan, who were all in attendance.

The rapper-turned-designer also made a brief appearance with Russell Simmons on Wall Street this past week, donning a designer shirt, $1,000 jeans and a golden grill to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Drake Doesn’t Mind Being The Butt Of Rihanna Jokes

Drake has become the laughing stock after discussing how Rihanna played with his emotions. Most men wouldn’t be brave enough to admit that they caught feelings and was played to the left by a female It’s an ego thing..

 

Drizzy recently sat down with MTV and told them he doesn’t mind the jokes:

If I worried about how I’m gonna look saying this, then I wouldn’t make half the music I make. People nitpick at me for being emotional or tapping into my emotions, but like, man, we all die one day; that’s just how I want to be remembered.
The running commentary or the jokes don’t really affect me, cause that’s what I’m going for. I don’t want to be a guy that blends in with all the other generic rap music. I want to be the guy that stood out and pinpointed life emotions for women, men, young people, old people or whatever it is. So I don’t trip, that’s what I want. I welcome it.

Rihanna's new video "We found Love"

Moments ago, Rihanna premiered the video for “We Found Love,” the first single off of her upcoming album “Talk That Talk”. In the video, RiRi experiences a whirlwind of emotions while getting high off of love that she obviously found in a hopeless place. Unfortunately, it eventually leads to destruction.
The video displays excellent visuals of the highs and lows of love, excluding the use of drugs of course. The chemistry between Rihanna and her co-star Boxer/model Dudley O’Shaughnessy was truly believable.
If you can’t view the video, we have some stills from the video that may intrigue you in the meantime.

NBA superstar Dwight Howard opened up recently and chatted about fatherhood with Esquire magazine. If you don’t know by now, he is the father of VH1’s Basketball Wives cast member Royce Reed’s son. She wasn’t just on the show for knowing how to twerk it and drop it like it’s hot, she actually was a baller baby mama.
It’s no secret that the two have a very public and uneasy custody battle, so it was surprising that he discussed his relationship with his son.

I know it’s a subject you haven’t wanted to talk about publicly, but is fatherhood a part of your life?
It’s very important. Hopefully me and my son’s mom will come to a better agreement for my son. When I do see him, we have the best time in the world. He acts just like me. He tries to run like me. He looks back and smiles like me. Fatherhood is great and it will get better. He’s young. He’s gonna need his father in his life. People say you don’t need a father to be successful. I take offense to that. I had an argument with my mom about Father’s Day and why it’s not celebrated like Mother’s Day.

It’s always the kids who pay the price.
I would never, ever desert my child. A lot of my friends didn’t have fathers growing up, and they were very upset that their fathers weren’t around. I was lucky to have mine around.

In other news, Royce Reed announced last week through her twitter page that she would not be returning for Season 4 of Basketball Wives Miami. After a little contemplating she’s decided to comeback after all. She recently tweeted:

'Well, As stated last week pertaining 2 BBW season 4 tht things may change & after SEVERAL conversations I have decided 2 return for Season 4
How much, I don’t know because I won’t compromise my career. I was NEVER cut/fired & my decision to return is solely based on negotiations, & messages from my fans. I love y’all & u will see a different side of me Season 4. #ImOuttie'

New Video: Beyonce – “Love On Top”

The video starts out with Beyonce in a naturally lit studio doing some bubble-gum choreography with male dancers–a scenario reminiscent of New Edition’s “If It Isn’t Love” video. She definitely picked up some inspiration there.. Bey continues the same format as the video progresses but, as she switches octaves, she switches outfits starting with a completely Motown look. Then, she and the guys suit up in a slightly more modern look. Finally, the spot lights come out and Bey and the boys get glam and formal in gold-trimmed tuxedos that are tailored to curvaceous perfection.
