Mariah's marrying Nick Cannon. Or so we've heard. She's been rocking a 2.5 million dollar, 17 carat-total weight stunner with a 10-carat center stone made of rare pink and purple diamonds.
An unnamed source has confirmed that the rock was indeed given to Carey by Cannon, as he overheard Cannon telling jeweler Jacob Arabo that they were betrothed.
One question:
WHERE did Nick Cannon get TWO POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS? Wildin' Out wasn't THAT funny!

Rumor of the Moment: MC+NC=Getting Married?
Jimi Hendrix has a Sex Tape!
Wanna see some hot rocker 60s style love? Well, if you do you're in luck because Jimi Hendrix is coming back from the grave and putting Lenny Kravitz to shame! Okay, not really, but allegedly, legendary rocker Jimi Hendrix is getting into the vintage homemade porn industry.
A videotape purporting to show Hendrix performing sexual acts with two brunettes surfaced for sale on the internet on Tuesday. The ll minutes of film has been packaged into a 45-minute dvd to be distributed by--you guessed it--Vivid Entertainment. That's right, the same company that put Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Ray-J, and Pamela Anderson on the adult film map is trying to do the same for Hendrix.
This tape is causing more of a scandal than the R. Kelly tape.Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch, says the release of this film is great for the deceased legend:
This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star,"
And of course, there are the denials:
Hendrix's longtime girlfriend from the 60s, Kathy Etchingham, vehemently denies that it's Hendrix in the film. She told the New York Times:
"It is not him.His face is too broad and nose and nostrils too wide for Jimi."
To authenticate whether or not it is Hendrix in the tape, Vivid brought in Cynthia Albritton, better known as "Cynthia Plaster Caster", famed for making plaster molds of celebrities' genitals, including those of Hendrix.
I swear. I can't make that ish up.

Video: Lil' Mama Performs On Regis & Kelly
This isn't confirmed yet but I hear that Lil' Mama is slated to host the new MTV show "America's Best Clown Crew". Check out her costume below:
Fashion Breathes New Life Into McDonald's Image

Fancy that! McDonald’s is going for a new look, make over courtesy of designer Bruce Oldfield. Sean "P. Diddy” Combs and Tommy Hilfiger were the other designers considered for the job, but Oldfield is equally as talented, having dressed the likes of Catherine Zeta Jones and the late Princess Diana. The new McDonald’s uniforms that are set to hit only
McDonald execs feel that wiping away their unhealthy and environmental negative perception can be achieved through fashion. In a bid to attract a more stylish and health-conscious stream of consumers to its doors, Oldfield has assembled a hip collection for McDonald’s that includes suits for managers complete with biscuit hue dress shirts and mocha or black colored ties. Polo shirts, blouses, scarves, skirts, and cargo pants in variations of mocha and black tints are in store for the wardrobe of Mickey D workers.
In my opinion, the collection is safe with the blouses and scarves for female workers being the only true sophistication from previous McDonald’s uniforms. Knowing that P. Diddy was in contention for designing the new uniforms, I’ll always wonder what the Mickey D’s attire would have look liked under the Sean John veil!
Daily Dose of WTF: AIDS Man
This is despicable, people like him go to hell on scholarship! Everyone please just wrap it up and always respect yourself!

Behind The Scenes: Sol Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams
Check out some behind the scenes footage from the video shoot for Solange's first single "I decide". I haven't heard too much of her new materials myself but I hear it's pretty good. I think she might actually find an audience this time around. What do y'all think?

Street Style: The Art of Bespoke Suits
For our college student readers out there, what's fast approaching is the odd summer internship. To prep yourself to make that lasting impression, fashion (and performance too) can be your secret weapon. I stand by the saying looking good is good business because when you wear a suit that fits, you will notice an immediate effect in your carriage and confidence which will spill over into your approach to work.
Pictured above is a bespoke (or personally tailored) suit worn by yes, a college student. Calling to attention the nice fit of the suit is for my male collegiate peers because I see a majority of you wearing suits 2-3 sizes bigger than you. Jackets should not be billowy, but rather form-fitting. I'm not a big fan of the three button suit pictured (I'm a short chap so they look rather long on me plus a great deal of three-button suits are worn in a Bernie Mack, oversized style), but the fit makes me overlook that. For a safe mix of both corporate, yet fashionably edgy, go for a two-button suit. The three-button suit can put you at risk for that olden day, box-shaped appearance that does nothing to flatter your physique as a man. As Adam Rapoport, GQ Style Ediotr, puts it, the “[two-button suit] is a very smart conservative suit that’s cut with a dose of style.” So go for the two-button!
So heed my advice and that of the lovely folks over at GQ and Men.Style.com who put together a comprehensive How To Buy A Suit: The Complete GQ Guide. Enjoy!
Music Video: The Roots - Rising Up
Someone put me on this song a couple of days ago and as a avid Roots fan I can't stop playing it. Big Ups to DC artist, Wale. If you feel the cut remember to pick up The Roots new album, "Rising Down", tomorrow April 29th.

Moment of Lenzism
It's been so long since our last Moment of Lenzism. I'm glad it gets to make it's come back with the foolishness that is Foxy Brown. Notice how the judge and lawyer have absolutely no sympathy for her disability.

J.Lo is not on a Reality Show
J to the L-O wants us to know what her life is like on the daily. But a reality series? Leave that ish to Flavor Flav, Khia, and Vh1.
The (former?) diva is set to star in a 'docu-series' on TLC about her life with husband Marc Anthony and the twins.
The show, which is currently in production, will give viewers a glimpse into the lives of Lopez and her husband, singer Marc Anthony. The series follows Lopez as she balances raising her newborn twins and launching a new fragrance. The singer-actress co-created the series and serves as co-executive producer.
"I am excited to be part of the TLC family," Lopez said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together."
Should be interesting. I really want to see the power dynamics in that house.

Usher "Love In This Club" Remix Feat. Beyonce and Lil' Wayne
This is the remix, and its definitely what's good. "Love In This Club" is already a number one hit, but this is sure to keep radio spinning this record. The remix features Beyonce who Usher refers to on the track as "Queen B" (sorry Lil Kim). The song also features a hot 16 from Lil Wayne and he even reprises "Call me so I can get it juicy for ya". Sounds like a hit to me. Enjoy, I'm sure you will.
Love In This Club (Listen)

New R. Kelly Video "Hairbraider"
To be honest, I had no idea R. Kelly was releasing new material after being all over radio last summer. He was on everyone's remix and had a few hot songs himself, and now he's back with this poor excuse of a T-Pain ripoff-song "Hairbraider" from his new album due out this summer entitled "12 Play: 4th Quarter". I have to say I'm very disappointed in R. Kelly for this ish. Shame on you, R. Kelly.

We Knew It+Solange Changes it Up
...the superstar duo quietly filed their signed wedding license in Scarsdale, N.Y., Friday afternoon.
"Yes, we did receive it back," Scarsdale Town Clerk Donna Conkling said. "We do have public information on our marriage applicants, and that's one of the things we can confirm."
The license, which arrived at Scarsdale Town Hall in the mail, confirms what we reported on the happy day: namely, that Shawn Carter made Beyoncé Knowles his missus.
While the nuptials took place well within the 60-day period the license was valid for (it was obtained April 1), their officiant did exceed the state law requiring the document to be filed within five days of the vow swap.
So let's stop the chatter already and start thinking of baby names!
Speaking of names, baby(mama)sister Solange is changing her name to SoL-AngeL for her next album. And she managed to score Cee-lo as a producer for this one, although she admits it was hard.
"I literally had to beg [record producer] Cee-Lo to listen to my music, but once he did, he signed on immediately."
Yea he probably took one look at Bring it On 3 and Solo Star and said 'yea right'. And who can blame him? But if this album does okay, then great. If not, he'll just forget it ever existed. Either way best of luck to both.
DUB Magazine Edition Chrystler 300 & Dodge Charger
In my young life there are a few things that I know for certain. Two of these are that ni99as* love rims and the Chrystler 300. Affectionately referred to by my friends as the "Nentley" or the N*99A Bentley. There is nothing more decadent than riding around in a $30,000 car that looks 3x more more expensive in your head.
In a match made in heaven, DUB Magazine and Chrystler have teamed up to created a special DUB Edition of the Chrystler 300 and Dodge Charger! I know, I'm excited too.
*NOTE: Its O.K. for me to use the "N" word because Nas said so. Seriously.

Not Your Average Walk in the Park
The Park at Fourteenth is considered the epitome of Washington, DC's nightlife. Known for its glass-blown chandelier, cozy lounge-like setting, and decadent hors d'oeuvres, this place is a socialite's playground. The eclectic decor attracts a diverse crowd on Saturdays and a relaxed urban crowd on Sundays. Not to mention they host more cocktail hours during the week than one can bargain for. Professional and uber stylish, Park can break the bank at $20 for cover and $600-800 for bottle service on Sundays, Park's most popular club night! Don't worry, it's not overly crowded with lines wrapped around the corner like its counterpart, Club Love.
In DC and want to experience the best of its nightlife? Take a walk in The Park, 920 14th Street NW, it's highly recommended.
Foxy Brown Has A Twin!
Three days after spending eight months in Rikers for assault, rapper Foxy Brown called the 'razzi to witness her praying her sins away at St. Paul's The Apostle Church in NY last Sunday. Great PR move Foxie, we've now all forgot that you tried to kill a b!tch over $2,000.
Now on to the important part: Did anyone else think the photo was of Miss Jay from America's Next Top Model???
They do say that everyone has a twin.
Video Premiere: Riskay - Smell Yo Dick
Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! There is a video for this damn song.
All hoodrats please stand up! Put on your jean jumpsuits, download these lyrics and sing along e-megiately! And yes, this chick is serious.
I feel like Khia should be on the remix. You know she needs a job...

Introducing Karina Pasian: "16 at War"
Yes, she's 16 and at war with an industry hard to break into, but if her new single "16 at War" is any indication of the type of material we can expect from this young phenom than she is already winning the war. This song is gaining acclaim from critics and her unique voice is being applauded. No doubt she will draw comparisons to Tiffany Evans, but Karina is proving to be credible singer/songwriter. She was recently heard demo(ing) Cassie's news single, "Official Girl". She's signed to Def Jam and her new album will hit stores June 3rd! Check out her myspace to hear more about Karina. Look out for her...she's going to be HUGE!
Mariah Carey "Bye Bye" Remix Feat. Jay Z
This is the official remix of Mariah's new single "Bye Bye" which is currently the fastest growing song at radio. I think a remix/reunion with Jay Z does this song well. The original of the song is genius, but this hip-hop version will definitely boost plays on urban radio and a reunion of MC and Jay Z (remember Heartbreaker?) is a good look. Enjoy. Oh, and look for Mariah's new album, E=MC2, to debut on top of the charts this week with sales of 475K.
