Check this shit out. British artist Jonathan Yeo got a commission from the Bush administration to do a portrait of Bush. Dude is that nice. So the admin decided to nix the project. Yeo decided to go ahead with the portrait anyways and did Bush's beautiful mug with nothing but cutouts from PORN magazines. Talk about Bush! Check it out for yourself at

Apple said Friday that it will stop selling NBC Universal television shows through the iTunes Store. Apple said it’s doing so because NBC wanted Apple to “pay more than double the wholesale price” for each NBC TV episode, which would have upped user costs to $4.99 per episode, up from $1.99 presently.
NBC Universal is plainly bugging the hell out, why be greedy when you're show's are the ones that sell the most in the iTunes store! - I'm happy iTunes is standing firm and removing them from the iTunes store - They will come back I'm more then sure.

Fiddy just did an interview with On Smash about a lot of issues, including upcoming rappers Tru Life, Papoose, Saigon and more. When asked about Joell Ortiz, 50 says, "He’s another that got dope wordplay. I just don’t know who he is at all based on the material he’s put out to this point. I still don’t have no idea who he is,” 50 said in the interview."
What do you think? Does 50 have a point?
In an exclusive interview with XXLMag.com, A Tribe Called Quest frontman, Q-Tip, reveals he’s forming a new group with Common entitled The Standard. “Me and Common [are] getting ready to form a group,” ‘Tip tells XXLMag.com. “We’ll probably run it through the Uni [Universal Records] joint because we’re both on Universal.” According to The Abstract, it was Common who suggested the two from a group. “It was more of his suggestion,” he says. “He was like, “We just need to do a record.” So I’m really excited about that.” While the two haven’t started recording together yet, The Standard will start churning out material once the two starting touring together in a few weeks. As far as the production on the album, though, fans can expect Q-Tip to handle the majority. “I’m probably gonna do a lot of it,” ‘Tip says. “And we’ll get Kanye [West] on a couple things, but you know, that cat is busy.”
Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration but we just heard her new single "Gimme More" on Perez Hilton and the song is hot. It's catchy and it's very Britney..the stuff that made her the princess of pop.
Listen to it here.
According to Ballerstatus, Sean Kingston is set to play The Notorious B.I.G. in the biopic about the late rapper's life produced by Diddy.
Well, the kid looks just like him, but it can be really easy to mess this movie up! We'll see what happens!
UPDATE:
Our homie at Jesus Hearts Music has just posted that Fox Searchlight has denied that Kingston will be playing the role of Biggie. Instead, he points to 3 really good contenders. Check them out here.
Amy Winehouse has canceled her performance at the VMA's and also the rest of her US tour to focus on her health ... Shit man I thought I was going to see her perform and act a fool, or be drunk as hell on stage not remembering her lyrics... But I do hope all turns out well for her-

ARE YOU IN THAT MOOD YET?! 'Cuz I've been since 2001 when I first heard Mr. Joseph Budden Jr. (thats Joe Budden for all you slow-minded folk out there and Mr. "Pump It Up" for anyone else who's been under a rock since '03). As one of the first real Budden fans I can tell you once you get into his music - you get INTO his music. You start feenin' for that next hit and they just don't come at a quick enough pace. Mood Muzik II: The Worst of Joe Budden, came out back in November of 2005 and gained much acclaim as the mixtape of the year for 2006 and possibly the best work put out by any artist (that includes official albums and thats not just me saying it, check out any real Hip-Hop fan or even your very own fave magazines like Scratch and XXL cuz they said it as well) for that entire time.
Before MMII we were waiting for his sophmore album "The Growth" and even after that he promised us his sophmore album would be released but Def Jam just keeps him on the shelf expecting him to crank out another single like "Pump it Up"... IMPOSSIBLE! They need to just leave that alone and let the man be. Real fans want his deep introspective songs anyway. We could care less if he drops another Pump it Up as long as he hits us with more of that classic deep ish he always puts out on his albums and mixtapes, that Joe Beezy Pain-Rap.
Well now to the point of this post. Whoever's been waiting as anxiously as the Hand for "Mood Muzik 3" then there's good and bad news. The good news is that there's a vid we can all watch at the link below where he tells us that the mixtape is complete (well sort of). The bad news is that he also tells us in the vid that he doesn't know when its coming out and that it depends on DJ On Point and his team to put it out. As we all know they put a trailer out there earlier this year saying that it would be out by Summer 2007 but obviously it never dropped and the other dude in the video who's from Desert Storm (probably Webb or Nitty) says it should be a stocking stuffer for November or December (the 2 year anniversary since MMII dropped). Well enough blabbing, just watch the video Booda (Mr. NothingButEverything) put me onto and see for yourself.
ESTAS EN ESE MOOD-O YET-O?!!!
Disclaimer: Pardon King Hand for his excessive use of "Mr. This" and "Mr. That", he was a bit tired as he wrote this post.
“CUT OFF TIME”
The lead single is inspired by the film and is performed by
Omarion and features Kat DeLuna
This is the Official First Single off the "Feel the Noise" Movie produced by Jennifer Lopez- Starring Omarion with musical lead Role by none other then the reggeaton star Voltio. Also appearances by Alexis & Fido and Vico C (the old school homey gracing the big screen)
I'm glad Kat DeLuna is doing her thing (check her track all over the trailer), my ex bosses should be kicking themselves in the ass right now! (they should've signed her!)
Kat just needs better song writers because her voice is amazing ... Hire Ne-Yo to help her in the writing!- hint to her A&R Department!
Check out the Official Trailer!
This is a pic of Jennifer from her David LaChapelle video shoot. Uhm..is it safe to say she's lost it? Too much make up to hide the bags and wrinkles around her eyes!
Kanye held his listening party for "Graduation" in NYC last night for music industry insiders. Word on the street is that the album is all that, so 50, start packing.
He also put together his own visuals to go along with the music.
Ne-Yo spills the beans on what's going on with Britney's album to Ryan Seacrest:
“I have no idea what’s going on with Britney Spears right now. The last thing I heard was that Britney was mad at me over some songs that were supposed to go to her that wound up going to Nicole Scherzinger. She got the first look. I wrote the songs for Britney Spears, but this was before she shaved her head and went into rehab again. Nicole took the songs and recorded them.
Here’s how it happened, I was working with Britney Spear’s people. I wrote 6 to 8 songs for Britney Spears, working really closely with her A&R people at her label. Then Britney Spears goes ahead and shaves her head and goes into rehab. When that happened, I lost all contact with her A&R people, with her label. I was calling them, they weren’t returning phone calls, wouldn’t answer my calls. I’m like, ‘Alright. I guess they’re not interested anymore.’ In the process of all that going on, that’s when I met [Pussycat Doll] Nicole Scherzinger. She’s like, ‘Hey, I’m putting an album together, I’d love you to be a part of it.’ I played her two songs, she loved them. They cut a check, she recorded the songs. Those are her songs. After that happened, that’s when Britney Spears’ people called me like, ‘Hey, why are you giving away Britney’s music?’ I’m like, hold on. Y’all ain’t cutting me no check!”
Sorry boys, but the secci (non) Latina Jessica Alba is not single as rumored. From this pic above, she is obviously still committed to Cash Warren.
Here's some behind the scenes footage from Kanye's David LaChapelle photoshoot for MTV's VMA's. As I watched this footage, I felt like I had seen him in that vest on another occasion and I did! He wore the same vest this past Sunday on Entourage! Very disappointing coming from a fashionista like Kanye! And why is Rihanna all over him rubbing his back?
Can Perez Hilton be turned into a rap superstar? No, but it will sure as hell be entertaining!
Tune into MTV this Thursday at 10pm to see what happens!
Baby Bash sure has a lot to be thankful for lately. His new album "Cyclone," drops on October 16th, and the single featuring T-Pain is top 10 on the rap & rhythm charts.
Now while the rest of us get up early to go to our boring jobs, Mariah has a lot to complain about as well. While talking about her new upcoming album with Interview Magazine, she said, "Yes, sometimes it’s tough because I’ve got to sleep 15 hours to sing the way I want to. "
Oh boo hoo!
AND THEN, she goes on to say how she's working with a bunch of rappers and taking a different direction with this album, and says, "I sat in the hot tub the other night playing some songs for some friends and one of them felt that it was a very pro-woman kind of thing. And I was like, 'You know what, I didn’t do that intentionally.' It is not that the songs are male-bashing, but she felt that it was very empowered-woman moment."
Excuse me? Sitting in a bath tub while you played music for your friends? What???
The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have just signed on to continue the series for three more years and $75 MILLION DOLLARS!!! Nice!

Kanye is doing his thing no doubt about that. He appears on one of the best shows on T.V. and his album is dropping in a few- Just by appearing on this show he will be outselling fitty!(yeah i said it!) I do have to say one thing, fitty and Kanye have one more thing in common apart from there release dates... none of them can play themselves on screen!...LMAO
Oh yeah I got pinched by wifey when the flight attendants came on the screen- I dont know i just had to tilt my head! LMAO-
Everyone doesn't like the chic but i think she's a good artist, and we share the same opinion about the US president!- I hope we get to see her soon in the states- Some might feel the opposite...lol
Common-
Spendin cash at the bar to get credit
Drinkin Chaundon just because Big said it
They say Ye is but dude was big headed
Rocked the fur in the summer so somebody'd pet it
He had a fetish for shoes that's athletic
Pathetic on his MySpace page half nekkid
This had me rolling cause I know a couple of cats that act this way...LMAO u know who u are fuckers!
(LOS ANGELES, CA) Oscar-nominated director John Singleton was driving a Lexus SUV when it struck and killed a jaywalker who stepped in front of the car, police said Friday. Singleton, 39, immediately stopped his car and waited for police to arrive after the accident Thursday night in the city’s Jefferson Park neighborhood, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.
Wow - what is going on with people this weekend?
This is really sad news. The National Enquirer is reporting that Owen Wilson has been hospitalized after a failed suicide attempt. I know it's the National Enquirer and all, but he did overdose and apparently he had tried to slit his wrists.
