A Look At The History of Hip Hop

Mixtapes are compilations of songs and in the hip-hop world, and they developed from a technique to enjoy club music to an advertising tool. At first, DJs made money by recording their gigs, which served as a predecessor to rap albums. Had these been catalogued as rap records, artists like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five would have gone platinum. Today, hip-hop artists use these cd's to generate hype for their music. Let's look back to find out how the genre reached this point.

The party's over!

The LAPD descended upon the home of Charlie Sheen on Thursday night in what some insiders are calling a "pre-planned raid"!

"I can confirm police are there, but we're not releasing further details at the moment," said LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman.

Were they looking for drugs???

"There are about two or three patrol cars there," LAPD Van Nuys staffer Stacy Ball added late Thursday night. "There was no 911 call."

Despite the LAPD speaking on the record about their visit to Sheen's house, Charlie Tweeted a denial, saying: "#fastball: all good here on homefront. all reports are false. I'll explain more very soon. #Dogspeed c"

Update: Entertainment Tonight is reporting that the LAPD went to Charlie's house to remove guns from his house as part of settlement agreement with ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

Brooke believed that Charlie holds a license for as many as 47 guns.

Why does someone need 47 guns?????

Yeah, if we heard that our significant other was banging another dude on the side and was THIS open about it, we'd be devastated.

Sources close to Michaele Salahi reveal that the former Housewives star is VERY happy that her marriage is over, since now she can make more time to have "wild sex" with Journey rocker Neal Schon. In fact, Michaele has supposedly been bragging for awhile that Neal is a better lover tough emails to friends and that keeping this affair a secret, which reportedly has been going on since 2009, has been terribly inconvenient for her.

Of course! It takes a lot of energy to come up with lie after lie after lie! So much planning goes into it and careful consideration. It's almost not worth having an affair at all, even if the sex is THAT GOOD, right? Right?

So, how much longer do you think this stunt will go on for? Obviously, Tareq has at least another week to ring out some more sympathy. Maybe two weeks after that, he'll find someone else just as Michaele announces she and the Journey guy are getting married. That all sounds pretty plausible, right?

If you've ever been to a wedding reception, a party, or basically any event with a DJ you know about the unfortunate cycle that inevitably pops up. If you stay around long enough, you will start to feel as though you are having deja vu. Don't worry, though, it isn't your mind playing tricks on you - it's just the terrible disk jockey that was hired playing the same tired songs over and over again.

What You Need To Know About The CMA Awards

The origin of country music can be traced back as far as the 1920's. Many people especially those from outside the USA often think that it is a new music genre due to the rise of young country singers and groups such as Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum who brought the genre back to life and introduced it to the world once again.

The Vampire Diaries Releases A Batch Of Season 3 Promo Photos

Last night David and I were invited to the Hollywood premiere of Warrior starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton and we had THE best time. I have been looking forward to Warrior for months now, mainly because I’ve become a pretty big Hardy fan. But the more I saw of the film, the more convinced I was that it would be a quality film. I’m happy to say that I was not wrong about that assumption. While there have been many movies about “fighters”, this is the first major film about Mixed Martial Arts fighters and that fact alone made it really interesting for me.

Warrior has a lot of the same plot points of other fighter movies but what sets it apart are the fantastic acting performances by Hardy, Edgerton and Nick Nolte (who plays their estranged father) but also the scarily realistic MMA fight scenes. You get a lot of story in this film but you also get a lot of action. While I personally feel that the story gets muddled down a bit with too much stuff going on, it does regulate itself enough to be throughly enjoyable. Normally, I HATE watching fight scenes … I just don’t get any pleasure from them … but I was so engrossed in this film that the brutality didn’t really bother me much. Warrior has a lot of heart … a lot. You end up rooting for everyone. I was very impressed with this film, I think you might too.

Unfortch, David and I didn’t make it to the afterparty … and therefore, were unable to meet Tom Hardy. David flies out to NYC today so we didn’t’ want to stay out too late. Ah well, I’ll stalk meet Tom some other time.

Tonight, my friend Jen and I are going to see Def Leppard and Heart! I’m so excited!! I sincerely hope YOUR Wednesday is just as awesome :D

With the season two debut of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiering last night, the Housewives of New York are opening up with their thoughts on the tragic suicide of Russell Armstrong.

Kelly Bensimon and Ramona Singer both agree the show isn't to blame for his death, with Ramona expressing:

I think it is very tragic. But I don't think that the reality show is to blame for his unfortunate death. I think he had problems. And it's sad when someone has so many problems, they feel the only way they can eliminate their pain is by taking their life.

And Kelly concurring:

I would never blame it on the show. You don't know what happens behind closed doors. And no one can judge. It's no one's job to do that. A lot of people speculate.

Sonja Morgan and Alex McCord didn't want to say much, though.

Sonja said her heart goes out to Russell's estranged wife Taylor, but that "sometimes being helpful is just staying out of [her] business.

Alex didn't feel comfortable talking a whole lot, either, saying "We did what we did privately. And that's that."

Okay, so not every Housewife wants to open up, but we're glad to know they're all there for Taylor.

And we are too!

Remember guys, if you're ever contemplating suicide, it gets so much better. We promise. You ARE loved and there IS an answer. Please call 1-800-273-8255 if you ever need someone to talk to. They're amazing!

Purple Violins Are They Worth The Money?

I have been waiting to hear this release from The Lazys, it has had some real industry hype. I have been told The Lazys are the new Grinspoon (that I found quite remarkable as Grinspoon are still going strong as ever and seem to get better with age and every Album). Prison Earth is the title of the Album for this Central Coast band, and although I was expecting a little more than what I got due to the hype The Lazys have been receiving, it is still a pretty good listen.

Its Jada Pinkett Smiths Birthday Today! Happy 40th!

Jada Pinkett-Smith has had a crazy last couple of months, eh? Today, the gorgeous mother of two celebrates a milestone birthday, the big 4-0! Happy happy birthday! Last month, shockwaves reverberated throughout after word of Jada and her husband of 13 years, Will Smith, were allegedly separating. The couple quickly put the kibosh on the rumor, and released a joint statement responding to In Touch Weekly’s claims of their marriage’s demise. “Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.” Then the shocker of all shockers. An alleged affair between Jada and her HawthoRNe co-star and good friend, Marc Anthony came to light. Both of their reps spoke on their clients’ behalf vehemently denying any type of affair between them, with Anthony’s spokesperson imploring, ‘Enough is enough. There are families involved, children involved, friendships involved. This is NOT true.’ Earlier this month, TNT announced that HawthoRNe had been canceled and would not return for a fourth season. While I was a big fan of the show in the beginning, I felt the writing in the third season sucked and [...]
