Jadakiss Talks New LOX Album
Jadakiss dropped a new mixtape "Consignment", last week in order to pave the way for his first album in three years, "Top 5 Dead or Alive".
In an exclusive interview with BET.com, Jadakiss confirmed that The LOX, his old crew with Sheek Louch and Styles P, are about to sign a record deal in hopes of releasing a new album.
On "Top 5 Dead or Alive" Jada stepped outside his comfort zone and collaborated with unexpected guests like Waka Flocka Flame, Future and A$AP Rocky.
"My albums are always limited on features," Jadakiss said. "I usually just do me with mines, my D-Block camp on one or two features.
And if that's not enough Jadakiss for you, he's branching out into acting.
"I shot a movie titled "Must Be the Music" written by, produced by and co-starring actor Charles Dutton. We shot that last year and it should be coming out this year," Jadakiss said.
Rihanna To Star In "Fast & Furious 6"
Rihanna is truly showing no signs of slowing down any time fast.
She has been cast to play a villainous role in the upcoming blockbuster "The Fast and the Furious 6".
The singer/actress will star in the movie alongside Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
The director was so impressed with Rihanna's acting skills in her debut "Battleship" that he made the role just for her.
Her character has plenty of bite and doesn’t take any prisoners just like her in real life.
The sixth installment of the speed racing franchise is set for release in May 2013 but production on the film is said to begin next month.

Did ya'll watch the RuPaul's Drag Race Reunion/Award Ceremony/Comedy Hour?? I thought it was cute...
- I think, besides Sharon Needles, the true winner of this season was Latrice Royale. She is a star. Loved the standing ovations for her, and loved that she won "Miss Congeniality".
- The production number at the beginning was an interesting was to "re-introduce" the dragtestants to us. The entire thing was made 1000% better due to Sharon Needles "Frosty Mug-O-Beer" dress.
- Willam got kicked off the show because of some "Boom Boom Boom Let's Go Back To My Room"?? I was hoping for something a little more scandalous - and I'm not going to RuPaulogize for that.
- I think I've said this before, but Charo needs to be on every show, on every network, forever.
What did YOU think of last night's show and its outcome??

Republicans Are Tired
From The Daily What:
Both Mitt Romney and President Obama spoke at universities this week and received some very different reactions from the student voters. This tidy little side-by-side comparison shows exactly how stoked young voters are for Obama, while the students at Romney’s event seem like they’re catching up on their sleep.
Is Anyone Else A "Shameless" Fan?
A friend of mine turned me onto Showtime's "Shameless" last weekend and OMG is it ever good! In the past week I managed to watch the entire 2nd season via Showtime On Demand.
Shameless is the story of perhaps the most dysfunctional - yet functioning - family you will ever see. Seriously - if you've ever thought your family was messed up, just watch Shameless and you'll find out how good you really have it.
As an added bonus, Shameless features a bunch of cute guys and Joan Cusak (below). What more could you ask for??

New Music Album: Usher "Looking For Myself"
After 15 years of dominating popular music, Usher still knows how to think ahead of the game without losing himself, his fans, or his quality of music. Usher had a listening event for his upcoming seventh studio album, "Looking For Myself," at NYC's Daryl Roth Theater.
Every audience member, including Justin Bieber, stood for the entire time and shuffled around the floor at different times in order to soak in the seamless set changes and every unique moment of the show to the fullest, from Usher running on an elevated treadmill to members of the Fuerza Bruta cast "swimming" on Plexiglass above the heads of the audience. The R&B singer took full advantage of this experience to get personal with his fans, as the tracks for his new album acted as the soundtrack for the evening.
Here is the full list of tracks performed from "Looking For Myself":
"Climax"
"Looking 4 Myself"
"Lemme See"
"Climax (Kaskade Remix)"
"Twisted"
"Scream"
"Dive"
"Show Me"
"Hot Thing"
"I Care 4 U"
"Euphoria"
"Can't Stop, Won't Stop"
NBA Star Drops Lawsuit Against "Basketball Wives La" Star
Just months after getting engaged to his baby mama, NBA star Gilbert Arenas decided he wants to drop his lawsuit over her reality show "Basketball Wives: LA" but with one catch, he can bring it back any time he sees fit.
The Grizzlies star filed a suit over the VH1 series which featured Laura Govan claiming the show and his ex had no right to make money using his image without his permission.
Now he is asking the court to dismiss the suit coincidentally after his ex officially became his fiancée. But Arenas still wants to keep his right to bring it back whenever he wants, in case he feels exploited again or if they break up again.
Shed Media have fired back urging the court to dismiss the case permanently
A judge has yet to rule on the motions and Arenas has yet to rule on whether his fiancée can keep that title.
Where There's A "Will", There's A Way
During a recent visit to my new favorite dive bar - Boots and Saddle - Will (above) was providing the entertainment for the evening. So tonight when I came across these pics of him on the internet, I decided to share this fine gentleman with the rest of you. FYI: he really should call himself "BIG Willy", if you smell what I'm stepping in.
Check out an earlier post I did on Will HERE.
