My Newest Obsessions: Rude Boy

Now I'm not particularly a fan of the new "hard" Rihanna, i just think she's doing a bit too much to be considered edgy when she did it so will pre-beatdown, not she a bit of a overly couture mess. Her newest CD for me is a lack luster and bland album, but i do like this song. It's poppy and it as a hard sexual tone that gives it the edge it needs without announcing it to the world in a overly produced Young Jeezy endorsed wackfest. Plus for me to like a video to a song i like so much is a definite good sign. here's the video. i hope you enjoy

My Newest Obsessions

I am so living for 3 music videos right now. First the is Jay-Z's "On To The Next One" which is just hot to me. It's not your typical hip-hop video and the images within the video is a swag that I'm just drawn to. Second is Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy" which is the sexiest song out right now and the video doesn't fall flat to the song. Third is Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" which is an effortlessly cool video with a story and dancing and a great song and here they are to watch. enjoy

Stalker Threatens To Kill Michael Jackson and Pres. Bush

Police in the southern California city where pop star Michael Jackson stood trial on child molestation charges called in the FBI because they feared he might become a terrorist target.

The Santa Maria police were afraid the court case would be a "soft target" for terrorism, according to documents released by the FBI on Tuesday after a freedom of information request.

Federal agents had been looking into Jackson's alleged involvement with young boys for nearly 10 years before that 2003 arrest, the documents show.

They also had looked into death threats against Jackson by a man obsessed with his sister, Janet, as far back as 1992.

The FBI released 333 pages of documents related to the late pop singer on Tuesday that date from 1992 to 2005.

At the molestation trial, FBI eventually concluded there was little risk of terrorism, although they noticed that a Nation of Islam follower and New Blank Panther Party member, both unnamed in the files released, sat in the gallery in the early part of the trial. Jackson was eventually acquitted of all charges.

The files show FBI had been tipped off by their London, England, office in 1993 of an alleged inappropriate involvement between Jackson and an underaged male. Over the next 10 years, they made several investigations of the pop star, none of which led to charges.

Death threats against Jackson, president
Federal investigators assisted Santa Maria police in combing through computers at Neverland, Jackson's California home, in the molestation case. They also helped customs officials investigate a video suspected to be child pornography.

Neither of those investigations yielded substantive evidence, according to the documents.

FBI also interviewed two former Neverland employees in the Philippines over allegations of Jackson fondling young boys.

But the files released Tuesday contain no major revelations about Jackson's private life and the bureau apparently never developed any solid evidence against him.

They did include death threats against Jackson, then President George H. W. Bush and mob boss John Gotti by Frank Paul Jones, who allegedly was obsessed with Janet Jackson.

Jones was convicted in 1993 in relation to a letter that states: "I decided that because nobody is taking me serious, and I can't handle my state of mind, that I am going to Washington, D.C., to threaten to kill the president of the United States, George Bush."

The letter later says, "Michael [Jackson] I will personally attempt to kill, if he doesn't pay me my money."

Jones was arrested June 22, 1992, after trespassing in the driveway of the Jackson family compound in Encino, Calif.

Jackson, the singer known as the King of Pop, died June 25 at age 50. His death was ruled a homicide and police are still investigating.
courteous CBS News

In other Janet Jackson news she is back on top thanks to the hit single "Make Me".

Anyway, Justin Timberlake has recently expressed his remorse for what went down during the 2004 superbowl Halftime performance with Jant. heJustin Timberlake has reportedly admitted that he could have been more supportive of Janet Jackson in the aftermath of her famed wardrobe malfunction. Timberlake was performing on stage with Jackson at the 2004 Super Bowl half-time show when he ripped open her jacket to reveal her naked breast.The incident resulted in the exposure of Jackson's nipple to an estimated 140m TV viewers of the CBS show.Timberlake said at the time that he had no idea that Jackson was topless and distanced himself from the furore.

Janet's Next Album

'I'm still gonna keep the beats hard underneath 'cause she's still a dancer at heart,' says producer Rodney Jerkins.

When we caught up with producer Rodney Jerkins on the VMA red carpet in September, he was already hard at work on Janet Jackson's next studio album. Now the super-producer is opening up a lot more on exactly what fans can expect for Janet's 11th studio album.

"Janet is like my sister now," Jerkins told MTV News on Wednesday (October 21) at his Los Angeles recording studio. "We definitely have this incredible chemistry, this bond - I think we musically connect, crazily. I knew it - it's funny 'cause I predicted this. Five years ago, people used to ask me who I wanted to work with, and I was like, 'Janet Jackson.' And I was so passionate about that because I've always been a fan of her music and what her and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have done in the past. And I felt like, knowing she wants to try new things, that I feel I can get it and I can deliver it for her," he said.

DarkChild explained that fans can look forward to an emotionally driven album.

"Since we've been working ... I feel like the studio has become a second home for her because with the whole situation with Michael [Jackson] happening, and I feel like right now, emotionally, she can come here and let all her feelings out. I got her writing again - she has the pen and the pad in her hand."

But it's not just the recent passing of her brother Michael that is fueling the content of Jackson's album. Fans are going to see a side of Janet that they've never seen before, thanks in part to Rodney's persuasion.

"You gotta understand, she lost her brother. She was in a relationship for seven years that's over now. There's things that she told me that I didn't even realize. You know, certain [things] like self-esteem that I didn't even realize that she dealt with for years that you know. ... She's working on her book and she'll deal with that in her book, but also in songs, certain songs we're dealing with that head on. And sometimes it can be a touchy subject for us to even go into, and I kinda had to persuade her, 'Let's just go, let's talk about that.' And she's been doing it, and she's a pro about it."

Although Rodney says you can expect some up-tempo dance tracks on the new album, it won't have the futuristic sound we heard on her last project, 2008's Discipline.

"It's funny, 'cause when we just started the project, she was like, 'I wanna do 10 dance records, all up-tempo to dance. Let's just go dance,' " Jerkins said. The sound is inspired by worldwide influences, from African rhythms to Brazilian and Latin music, and RJ said we can expect features on this album like a Pitbull track that was recorded last week.

"But she hits me today and she says we need to do some mid-tempos as well," Rodney continued. "And I'm glad for that because there's a time when you listen to a record that you wanna mellow out and she always gives us those great smoothed-out mellow records. So now that she's in that zone, it's like 'Yes!' 'cause we can focus on that. But I'm still gonna keep the beats hard underneath 'cause she's still a dancer at heart."

Jenkins and Jackson co-produced her recently released single, "Make Me," which will be included on her greatest-hits compilation Number Ones, due in November. A release date has not been announced for her yet-untitled studio album.

Janet Sells Out Concert

The Original by Kings Of Leon

Pixie Lott(i like this one alot, alot)

Paramore

Bat For Lashes(i like the use of True Blood for the video)

I Live: Adele- Hometown Glory

i remember about a year and half maybe 2 years ago when i was going through ITunes free downloads section i came across this song and instantly feel in love. This was before Chasing Pavements and the best new artist win, when Adele was still unknown. this is and will always be a song that i live for because it is so haunting in it sound and her singing hits you so right. i love this record

I Don't Get It: Rihanna's new Hair

Rihanna i think you are the fiercest thing walking around right now, but honey that damn blonde hair is killing me. I'm not feeling it at all, i just doesn't fit you at all. The blonde you had in a few weeks ago was so much more fitting, but thhis mess ain't so sorry.

my newest obsession: drop it low

So i like everyone else was wonder who the hell Ester Dean was. We all heard her club banger "Drop It Low" with Chris Brown.So lastnight night while i was once again up browseing through the channel i finally found out who she was. The video is so cute and fits the song and i love the song even more because of the video. With cameos by Nelly, Keri Hilson, Rich Boy, Audio Push(the boys that sing "Teach Me How To Jerk" and a very cute dance break with Chris Brown and Omarion. So it is my newest obsession. oh yeah, heeeeeeeeeeey Chris Brown. Your my newest obsession too boo boo.

Yet Another Bitch Fit from Kanye

So supposedly Kanye West threw a serious bitch fit over the weekend at Common's charity concert at the Hollywood Palladium, but it wasn't over something like his table being taken and given away or because someone ruined his outfit, it was over some fucken chicken. CHICKEN REALLY? So what apparently went down was Kanye saw some people eating chicken and i guess he got angry over the fact that he didn't have any. An eye witness says that Kanye was so angry and said,"Why wasn't I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating…why am I not eating?" so waiter come to calm the stiuation and the waiter told him it was because he(Kanye) didn't ask and Kanye snapped back, "Well, I"m asking now!" The waiter promptly got him the chicken to which Kanye responded by taking a single bite and throwing the rest out.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH if that was me, i would have a job there anymore, cuz i woulda taken the chicken that he show his ass over, only to take one bite and through the rest waya, and smashed it in his fucking face. First the VMA fiasco and now this. That motherfucker need to get his ass mbeat and then he might calm the fuck down. And supposedly Amber Rose was so embarrassed by the whole thing that she justt left. He needs to take a break and reevaluated his life and career because he is slowly ruining it.

Solange on Oprah

so i just watch Oprah and Chris Rock was there talking about his new documentary "Good Hair". I knew that she would have him on, but i was wondering why Solange Knowles was there, but then i figured it out. She was there to talk about why she cut all her hair off and how she felt like she was being defined by her hair for most of her life. Girlchild even said she had her first perm when she was 4 years old(makes you wonder when Beyonce got her first perm and weave job). I like Solange and i don't mind the new hair cuz it actually does make her look lesS like a horse and more attractive. so yeah. Plus i can't wait for "Good Hair". It looks too good and funny and being black and Ethiopian i have good hair(trust) and i know how black people, especially women are about their hair and being obsessed with having good hair. So this should be a very interesting event to see all the black folks at the theaters with their heads fried, dyed and layed to the side, weaved, braided, sculpted and colored every color from black to periwinkle. MESS!
