VIDEO: Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports Signs Jets' Geno Smith


Jay-Z is definitely not worried about the Foxy Brown's tabloid drama...he continues to follow his passion of sports and doing big things with his newly formed agency, Roc Nation Sports.


After weeks of speculation, rookie quarterback Geno Smith announced Wednesday that he has hired Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports to represent him.
Smith, who created national headlines when he fired his original agents after falling out of the first round in last month's draft, hinted that the marketing appeal of Roc Nation Sports was a factor in his decision.

During an interview with the NY Daily News, Eugene revealed that Jay-Z only played a minor role in why he chose to sign with Roc Nation.
“The only thing that’s important to be is the image that is perceived around this lockerroom, the guy that I am to my teammates, to my coaches and the work that I put in on the football field.. I’m all about football. I’m all about getting better and that’s the one thing that I’m focused on: Better myself daily and prepare myself to be there when the time comes.” 
“I don’t worry about the outside world’s perception. I’m comfortable with who I am, strong in my faith. I know that this isn’t because of an image thing or trying to market myself. It’s just being comfortable with the guys who’s going to represent me. That’s ultimately why I made that decision.”

Like Hampton Blu

Yikes! Foxy Brown, Jay-Z's former protege, denies that she is writing a tell all on Jay-Z and Beyonce. The raptress is also denying claims that she called Jay-Z a "tranny chaser" who took her virginity and gave her gonorrhea. 

Brown told TMZ, "[t]he atrociousness of this story has sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney."

"In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I've ever experienced. This is a fictitious story."

"NO audio, visual or written interview, concocted with malicious intent."

"Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend through the years I've known him and we had nothing but great success as a team."

"Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me ... I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation."

"This disrespect will NOT be tolerated."

Foxy Brown has spoken!

VIDEO: Will Smith Teaming Up With Kanye West? Plus Will Smith Performs Summertime

Can Kanye West bring Will Smith back to music?
Like Hampton Blu

Recently, Will Smith was asked about his music career and the rapper, turned superstar actor, mentioned how he has been in the studio with Kanye West.  However, Smith mentioned he is not sure he will do a full out single or album. Smith says, "he has to be truly inspired" before he pursues music again. He did mention, Kanye has been pushing him a little bit, however. Will Smith and Kanye West, would be an interesting match. We are curious to hear the music.



Will Smith caught a little bit of the music "bug" recently when he appeared on Letterman to promote his new film, After Earth, co-starring his son, Jaden [See video below].

Will Smith in the video, Summertime (1992)
Smith took to the mic and performed his classic song, "Summertime." Yes...we still know all the lyrics to Summertime, definitely a hip hop classic. 


VIDEO: Hologram of Apple's Steve Jobs?


TMZ recently interviewed Tim Cook of Apple after he appeared at a hearing regarding Apple's payment of taxes (Cook states Apple pays every tax dollar they owe); TMZ mentioned the Steve Jobs hologram and Cook did not exactly deny the possibility of a virtual Jobs appearing at Apple's next public event. He simply stated, "he cannot comment on that."

Perhaps holograms will be in demand beyond the music industry...as we remember a hologram of Tupac last year. This year we will see a hologram of Eazy E and Ol' Dirty Bastard. It definitely would be cool to see one of Steve Jobs. Apple is one of the biggest leaders in technology, it would be fitting for them to jump on the hologram craze. Perhaps they will have a feature one day on their phones that allows us to create our own hologram...actually that would be a bit spooky. But the Jobs hologram sounds great! He is the legend and true face of Apple. We are sure the consumers would be pleased to see the "virtual Jobs."

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Having a Girl?



Many are speculating that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a girl due to the invite to their baby shower, due to their invites showcasing a  pink ballerina twirling in a box. 

TMZ was able to get some pics of the invite that was sent to the Kardashian clan. It's a box with a pink ballerina (Kanye's fave image it seems), who looks like Kim (of course), twirling around inside to a lullaby version of 'Ye's song "Hey Mama."  Kanye wrote the song for his own mother Donda West back in 2000 and it appeared on his 2005 Late Registration album. 

Of course we will not know for sure the sex of the baby until Kanye and Kim verify...as this invite could be all about the couple and not the child. We shall see. 


PHOTOS: Chris Brown in Fender Bender


Chris Brown encountered some car trouble on Tuesday afternoon when he rear ended a vehicle in Beverly Hills. 


The singer was in the car with his on again and off again GF  Karrueche Tran. Allegedly the singer was headed to the studio when his black Range Rover bumped into a black Mercedes sedan. Luckily, no one was hurt and cops were not called to the scene, but Chris did exchange insurance and contact information with the driver.


LeToya Luckett Joins VH1's Single Ladies

Like Hampton Blu

Singer LeToya Luckett (pictured above), formerly of Destiny's Child, has joined VH1's Single Ladies. Luckett, along with Damien Wayans and Lesley-Ann Brandt (pictured below) are set for major recurring roles and possibly may be added as regular on the series. 

Luckett will play Felicia Price, the icy and aloof founder and Senior Partner of Price Management, one of the most influential music management companies in the world. It is always so wonderful to see LeToya move to aggressively in her career. She can truly inspire many women around the world as she did not allow the setback of being "dismissed" from Destiny's Child stop her from pushing her career forward. 

As mentioned earlier, Damien Wayans (pictured above) will also join Single Ladies. He will play David Berenger, April’s (Charity Shea) main foil at Price Management — a masterful sycophant, and a slick manager on the Atlanta music scene.

LeToya and Damien previously worked together on BET's Second Generation Wayans. 


Lesley-Ann Brandt
Brandt, best known as the original Naevia in the Starz original series “Spartacus,” will play Naomi Cox, a demure, sexy, scheming gold-digger who is a constant thorn in Keisha’s (LisaRaye McCoy) side.
The forthcoming third season is set to air later this year.
It should be noted that the creator of Single Ladies, Stacey Littlejohn exited the series after Season 2 of the series/ We wonder if Littlejohn's exit as creator and writer has caused major shifts with the story line of Single Ladies, particularly with the addition of these new characters. We are hoping that the Racquel (Denise Vasi) and Charles (Ricky Whittle) saga continues, they have great chemistry together on camera.

INSPIRATION: Frustrated Dreamers, Don't Give Up! (Tyler Perry)




We plan to share inspirational letters every week on our blog, below is the latest inspirational note from Tyler Perry. This touched us and we feel it will touch others. During these hard economic times, many have taken a break from their dreams to work a job they hate...but hold onto your dreams, continue to take action - even if it is just a little step every day, and then ask the most high to continue to guide you so that your dreams may dream for you and eventually become a reality.

THIS IS FOR FRUSTRATED DREAMERS by Tyler Perry 
I was driving in to work this morning and I started thinking about all the days I dreaded going to work. I was so sick of it… the job, my boss, the people I worked with, the traffic… I would wake up angry every morning. I didn’t want to deal with the crap of the job, but I was forced to go. I had been homeless, I was broke, living paycheck to hopefully the next paycheck. I couldn’t take a day off for fear I would get fired. I was just frustrated. I thought I hated my life and the job. 
It was so aggravating because God had placed all these dreams and hopes in my soul and mind and I had no idea how they were going to come to pass. To have a dream of being something better and living better than the way I was at that moment and to not see a way of getting there felt like death to me. I thought, “Dear God, why would you give me so much hope and not make a way?” But what I learned through prayer was, with no path in front of you and no road map… this is where true faith begins. With faith I realized that I wasn’t frustrated with my life or the job, I was frustrated because I was a person who had dreams for myself, a person who had visions for my life and I wasn’t living it. Have you ever been there, where you felt so strongly that there was more to this life than what you see in front of you?


One of the most difficult things about being a dreamer is the fear that the dream will never happen. I’m here as a living witness to tell you your dreams can come true. You can’t give up. And I am here to let you know that everything can work together for your good. The time that you are spending on that job that you think is a dead end is not. You’re being prepared just like I was. I was a shoeshine boy, I worked as a bill collector, a used car salesman, in housekeeping in a hotel, and they all were preparation for where I am now. 
What do these things have to do with where I am now? I’m glad you asked. I am able to use skills that I learned. I shined shoes, so I know how to shine my shoes if I need them to look nice. Selling used cars was a great way to learn how to close a deal. Bill collecting taught me great negotiation skills. Working at that 5-star hotel taught me a lot about travel. Every experience in your life is here to teach you something.
Today, while you’re at work, don’t be frustrated. Look around you and ask God what are you there to learn and how will it be a part of your future dream. Honor that job, do the best you can at it, because God will bless you for honoring something that belongs to another. 
I hope this inspires you today. If you need a little more inspiration then watch my first sit-down interview in years with Oprah on Oprah's Next Chapter. It airs this Sunday on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network at 9/8c. I talk a little about not giving up. I know it will move you.

Here’s a prayer for today: “God help me hold on, help me to get to what I dream of, help me to honor where I am today so that I can appreciate where I will be tomorrow. In Jesus' name.”
