The autopsy of late rapper Notorious B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace (aka Biggie Smalls), has finally been released. Wallace was murdered back in March of 1997 after attending the 11th Annual Soul Train Music Awards. Although his murder remains unsolved, the autopsy reveals new details about his injuries.
Just a few days ago I wrote about Mariah Carey and her revealing attire doing their best to help light up the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center. In the post I argued that Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” is probably the best holiday song of the last 20 years. Superlative statements like that can be irritating I understand but bear with me as I make another. Carey joined Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and some seriously adorable singing kids to lay down the most wonderful rendition of the song you’ll ever see. It’s another clip in which the super-talented house band along with Fallon break out toy instruments and other assorted items to make a joyous noise. Check it out!
Merry DMX-mas y’all!
DMX has taken the internet by storm this holiday season with his spontaneous rendition of the Christmas carol “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” performed for Power 105.1, and now, thanks to the wonderful folks over at The Soup, DMX’s vocals have been laid over video from the original Rudolph claymation childrens special. The result will redefine what people think of when they hear “Christmas rap!”
Taylor Swift and One Direction’s Harry Styles are officially an item. Well, at least according to new photos and video of the pair. Over the weekend, the two singer were spotted at Central Park where they hung with friends and took in the sights at the Central Park Zoo. This wasn’t the first time these two have been linked and judging by the way Harry speaks of Taylor, it won’t be the last.
Liz & Dick star Lindsay Lohan had a pretty out of control night last night that ended in arrest. Here’s the timeline as we know it:
Britney Spears and Will.I.Am’s mus video for “Scream and Shout” is here, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Last The Voice featured just about the best duet ever performed when Cee-Lo Green invited on stage his buddy Kermit the Frog to sing “Bein’ Green.”
Star Magazine has a story this week with quotes from Katy Perry’s half-sister Jodi Hudson from her father Keith Hudson’s previous marriage.
43-year-old Jodi has kept quiet for the past few years of her sister’s fame, but bristled at a recent video their dad uploaded on YouTube with the message “Don’t close the door on your children.”
She’s upset because she feels he was never a father to her, and abandoned her.
Alicia Jacobs is one of five Las Vegas ladies cast on the new TLC reality series Sin City Rules. The former pageant queen turned journalist will be making her reality television debut on December 9 along with Lana Fuchs, Amy Handley, Jennifer Harman, and Lori Montoya. While this will be Alicia’s first reality show, it isn’t her first time in the headlines. Just a couple years ago Alicia was dating Mötley Crüe rocker Vince Neil, and while their relationship was kept private, a post break-up fight in Vegas was not.
It’s obvious what country singer Jake Owen and wife Lacey Buchanan were thankful for yesterday as Buchanan gave birth to their first child, daughter Olive Pearl Owen!

Happy Thanksgiving!” Keep reading to see pop and daughter and read his official statement!
While many people were skeptical about Lenny Kravitz being cast to play opinionated stylist Cinna in The Hunger Games, he turned in a well-received performance. It looks like those rave reviews have paid off for the 48-year-old, as the London Evening Standard is reporting that he’s signed on to portray music legend Marvin Gaye in an upcoming biopic.

K-Pop king Psy (short for “Psycho”) isn’t going anywhere soon. His performance last night of his viral hit “Gangnam Style” at the AMAS with MC Hammer brought down the house.
What does “Oppa Gangnam Style” mean?
Ke$ha has been the poster-gal for questionable fashion choices ever since she hit the pop landscape. Her Hot-Topic-inspired ensembles and over-the-top but not in a way it works like Lady Gaga usually manages wardrobes have inspired a tome of SMDHs. Every once in a while Kesha Rose Sebert will step out sans the outrageousness and the results are usually good. This change-up potential was on full display as Ke$ha hit the red carpet at the AMAs looking great in an (hold it) understated beaded dress and high heel black shoes. See pics, her performance of “Die Young” (after being introduced by a legend) and a funny interview in which she said she’d shack up with The Biebs – after verifying his age.
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are quickly becoming one of the most adored couples in country music history. Part of what makes them so appealing is their obvious passion for each other and some seriously sharp-tongued senses of humor. This ability to laugh at it all has been put on full display as the two have taken to Twitter to poke fun at the pregnancy rumors that have been making the rounds as of late. See the tabloid cover that really stirred this all up and read Shelbert’s funny dismissals.
It’s been a good week for Rihanna. She released the music video for her newest hit single “Diamonds” (written by Sia) and she performed said song at the controversial Victoria’s Secret show while wearing a pair of awesome pair of vintage Chanel sunglasses from 1994. (That’s right, 1994 is vintage.)
One woman died and 19 others were injured during a Linkin Park concert on Wednesday in Cape Town, South Africa when a wind gust blew down a promotional billboard. Although the concert went on as planned, the band later released a statement of condolences for those injured and to the family of the woman who passed.
Christina Aguilera’s “Your Body” is already a success for her, but this new performance makes it even better.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert must be competing for Cutest and Sweetest Couple in the World. Their “wild” and adorable marriage was featured in this week’s People Magazine, and last night Miranda Lambert gave a moving and tearful CMA acceptance speech for “Over You.”
Christina Aguilera burst on the scene as a tiny teen with a huge voice. Now, several hit albums, one marriage, and one reality show later, she’s much curvier — and she loves it. However, in the just-released add for her new perfume, Royal Desire, she’s looking like her old self — but with some seemingly anatomically incorrect body parts.
Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit Concert has played host to some of the most memorably soul-altering acoustic performances in recorded history, and this year was no exception — but thanks to Axl Rose and the current incarnation of Guns N’ Roses, the “soul-altering” was not in a good way. At all.
John Mayer and Katy Perry are back on, it looks like, or at least they’re back on to posing together for publicity.

Shakira is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Gerard Pique, but that didn’t stop her from dancing her heart out while performing this weekend.
October is just about my favorite time of year to be a celebrity blogger because there’s nothing much I like more than celebrities in Halloween costumes! When it comes to dressing up for Old Hallow’s Eve, I like the good, the bad, the ugly, the scary, the sexy, the funny, the wince-worthy, the clever, and the lame. The Black-Eyed Peas lead singer Fergie managed to qualify for good, funny, and clever with her transformation into Lindsay Lohan!
Taylor Swift has made it her thing to write about the men she’s dated, and the people in her life, in her confessional songs; even going as far as to leave clues to who they are about in the liner notes of her CDs (There’s a good ploy to keep getting people to buy traditional CDs Taylor!)
Her upcoming album Red (dropping October 22) is no exception. Below is a guide to all of Taylor Swift’s songs that are obviously about someone in particular.
As I was sittin’ back in muh blog chair pounding some Hot Pockets and chillin’ to some Snoop Lion on the iTunes I came across the following video of Snoop Lion singing an ode to Hot Pockets.

On Thursday singer Fiona Apple entered into the Hudspeth County Texas Marijuana Bust Hall of Flame alongside such notable tokers as Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg when she was arrested after a drug sniffing dog (not Dogg mind you) caught wind of Apple’s tour bus and police found about four grams of marijuana and four grams of hashish in a backpack.

Keep reading to see two different video clips of her apologetic but still angry rant!

On the first episode of the second season of The X Factor USA, Jillian Jensen brought tears to everyone’s eyes, including Simon Cowell with her heartbreaking story and heartrending performance of Jessie J “Who You Are.” At the end Demi Lovato was so moved that she walked on stage to huge and reassure her.
Britney Spears outed herself as one of the millions of fans of viral internet sensation Psy and his music video for the single “Gangnam Style” by tweeting back on August 28, “I am LOVING this video – so fun! Thinking that I should possibly learn the choreography. Anybody wanna teach me?! haha” Ellen DeGeneres is one of Hollywood’s biggest bluff callers, and she did exactly that when Britney appeared on her show yesterday. And being Ellen, she was able to get Britney the best “Gangnam Style” horse dance instructor on the planet – Psy himself!
Heeeeyyyyyy sexy laydayyy!

When Christina Aguilera first burst onto the scene, she was a tiny little thing with a big voice. Now, she’s a bit bigger and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Musician Beck recently raised eyebrows when it was announced his new album of 20 songs would be released exclusively as sheet music.

Forget those folks bouncing on trampolines, walking fast, and playing ping pong – what the world really wanted from the Olympics was to see the Spice Girls reunite and have Victoria Beckham wearing a sexy Giles Deacon mullet hem mini skirt while singing atop a London taxi cab adorned in hundreds of colorful flashing light bulbs. Mission accomplished.
Farrah Abraham made quite the stir last week when the debut single “Finally Getting Up From Rock Bottom” hit the internet.

Instagram turned into Gangstagram this week after rapper T.I. shared an older photo of him and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and some of his followers began commenting on how different she looks now – but not in a good way. Adding insult to insult, T.I.’s 16-year-old step-daughter Zonnique posted a photo of herself on the photo-sharing site and someone solicited her for sex, which didn’t make T.I. all that happy either. Keep reading for the full-on virtual smackdown!

I always assumed it would take an Olympic-sized event to bring the all-girl British supergroup Spice Girls back together, little did I realize it would be the actual Olympics! After months of speculation and on-again, off-again rumors (mostly centered around whether or not Victoria Beckham was on board or not), it now seems official that the world will get to see the ladies together at least one more time after photos surfaced earlier today of all five ladies rehearsing for the finale – atop London taxis!
