tiny-and-ti

Throughout the week rumors of an alleged marriage between rapper T.I. [click to read] and his longtime girlfriend and former Xscape member Tameka “Tiny” Cottlehave run rampant. And although The Urban Daily has confirmed that the two did wed, Atlantic Records‘ Sydney Margetson told Sister 2 Sister magazine that these reports are false, despite Essence Magazine and The Urban Daily’s initial reports. 

According to the source the wedding trip, which took place on an island off the coast of Miami, was covered up as a family vacation to elude the media.  

Tiny and T.I. have been together since 2001 and the newly-wed couple has two children together.

Dr. knows best

Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated album Detox is once again receiving buzz, this time from Dr. Pepper. Dre appears in a new Dr. Pepper commercial that includes the first official set of beats from the upcoming album.

An instrumental version of the single Shit Popped Off , featuring T.I. is one of several tracks from the Detox album that was leaked earlier this year. 

Every year (for the past five or six years,) Detox gets pushed back. Dre always says it’s due to him working on so many albums from other artists. However, I think he’s terribly afraid that the album will never be as good as his first solo album, The Chronic, due to all the hoopla its receives about hopefully being one of the best rap albums in history. 

And even the publicity in a Dr. Pepper advertisement, Detox still has no release date. Dr. Dre has apparently told MTv that he will be releasing the album after  Eminem’s Relapse   and 50 Cent’s Before I Self-Destruct  are released. I’ll believe it when I see it on the shelves.

The Dr. Pepper commercial featuring a snippet of Shit Popped Off will begin airing June 1. 

 

Here’s the Dr. Pepper commercial…

gaga revealed

lady gaga rs

With multiple #1 singles and a platinum album Poker Face, the reigning Queen pop diva Lady Gaga has opened up in an exclusvie interview with Rolling Stone. In the exclusive, Gaga talks about her racey image, her relationships with parents and men and even her bi-sexuality. 

ON MEN:

 ”The fact that I’m into women, they’re all intimidated by it,” she told the magazine. “It makes them uncomfortable. They’re like, ‘I don’t need to have a threesome, I’m happy with just you.’ “

ON LOVE: 

“…My music’s not going to wake up tomorrow morning and tell me it doesn’t love me anymore,” she explained. “So I’m content with being alone. I choose to have someone in my life when I can.”

ON HER IMAGE:

“I’ve always been Gaga,” she said. “It’s just that all the years of schooling and being in a Catholic environment and living in a place where we were kind of told what was the right way to be, I suppressed all those eccentricities about myself so I could fit in. Once I was free, I was able to be myself. I pulled her out of me, and I found that all of the things about myself that I so desperately tried to suppress for so many years were the very things that all my art and music friends thought were so lovely about me, so I embraced them.”

WHAT HER PARENTS THINK:

Gaga recently reconciled with her father (who initially rejected his daughter’s persona and life) and has a wonderful relationship with mother. 

“She’d tell me, ‘Little baby girl, you can be whatever you want, and you are beautiful and you are talented and you could rule the world,’ ” Gaga said.

rihanna to testify against brown

rihanna30060ad031eh2chris-brown-pleads-not-guilty

Rihanna may have to testify against Chris Brown after all. 

Rihanna’s lawyers have stated that the pop star will receive a subpeona to testify in a preliminary hearing on June 22.

The hearing will determine if there is enough evidence to move forward with a case against Brown, who is facing felony assault charges. Brown pleaded not guilty to the charges and did not appear in court on Thursday. 

On Wednesday, Brown spoke publicly (for the first time) on a YouTube video saying into the camera, “I am not a monster.”

Once the preliminary hearing is over, Brown’s attorney Mark Gerragos will be able to re-file the request to have the case against his client dismissed; because of the controversial photos of a beaten Rihanna surfacing on TMZ.
