NEW MUSIC: "Raised In Da Hood" by Snoop Dogg


Snoop Dogg has released another song from his upcoming album Doggumentary titled "Raised In Da Hood," which features verses about Dogg's upbringing in the hood during his days in Long Beach. The Baby Dubb and DJ Reflex-produced track features a simple, cyclical beat with a west coast edge to it, while the track is a refreshing return of Snoop Dogg from the Doggystyle days.

Chris Brown Scheduled To Do SNL


Chris Brown has been booked to perform (and presumably take part in a skit or two) on the February 12th episode of Saturday Night Live. This marks the first time the "Deuces" singer has performed on the show, a milestone that Nicki Minaj described as "monumental" after performing last weekend. The episode will be hosted by Russell Brand, the husband of Rihanna's BFF Katy Perry.

Justin Bieber Visits The Late Show With David Letterman


Justin Bieber stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman on his promotional campaign for his new movie Never Say Never. The interview was funny even though Justin Bieber seemed a bit nervous, as their conversation went Letterman's envy of the power the teen heartthrob has over his female fans to his family and hometown.

Check out the interview below:




VIDEO PREMIERE: "S&M" by Rihanna


The music video to Rihanna's new song "S&M" has made its VEVO premiere today and, as expected for a song with sadism and masochism in the title, it has the raunchiness to vaporize the droplets of holy water some may be tempted to splash at the screen. The video consists of a variety of latex costumes and S&M accoutrement, while scrolling headlines from some of her harshest critics scroll behind the singer.

Watch the video for "S&M" below:

Janet Jackson's (and Justin Timberlake's) 7th Anniversary of "Nipplegate" Is Today


It's hard to believe that today marks the 7th anniversary of what has become colloquially recognized as "nipplegate," or also known as the Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show, in which Justin Timberlake ripped off a part of Janet Jackson's costume to expose her partially shielded breast. Being that yesterday was the singer's 30th birthday party and Janet Jackson has had record sell-outs at her upcoming concert tour, why not commemorate a date in history that will live in infamy (for the oh-so-prudish).

Lady Gaga Approach Twitter Milestone & Releases "Born This Way" Lyrics


If Howard Stern is the king of all media, Lady Gaga has become the queen of all social media as the number of twitterers following the "Alejandro" singer is rapidly approaching 8 million, a figure no one on twitter has ever approached, let alone pass. She is currently the most followed account on the social networking site after passing the previous leader, Britney Spears last year and is expected to cross the new threshold this week. Add to that, she is the most "liked" fan page on Facebook, and we have ourselves the new queen of all social media.

Raekwon: "RZA Is Not On The Album"


It seemed a little unusual for a Raekwon album to be missing a collaboration with one of the biggest Wu-Tang emcees, but that appeared to be the case when the track list of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang had no mention of a RZA track. Now Raekwon has confirmed that RZA will not appear on the album, citing RZA's scheduling conflicts and hardcore allegiance to Wu-Tang as reasons for his absence.
