Nicki Minaj & LL Cool J Ham It Up In Grammy Promos
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
After getting snippy with Taylor Swift in a set of promo spots for this Sunday's Grammy Awards, host LL Cool J is now having a few faux-testy exchanges with Best New Artist nominee Nicki Minaj. In one clip, LL gushes that the Harajuku Barbie is an artist he loves. Much to his dissatisfaction, Minaj replies that she's been listening to him since she was "a baby." Ouch! In the second promo, the "Going Back To Cali" MC beatboxes while Nicki dances around. Finally she stops and chides, "You gotta speed it up! What's up?" Seems poor LL can't catch a break with anybody. Watch below.

Did You Hear?
:: Demi Lovato (rockin' some hot red hair) gets saucy in a new photo shoot she did with photographer Tyler Shields. "I have received more emails asking me to release this shoot then any other shoot I have ever done. Lovatics are dedicated fans!" Shields wrote on his website. [Just Jared]
:: Is Simon leaving The X Factor and coming back to American Idol? No, but it seems like his harsh personality might. Steven, J.Lo, and Randy recently announced that are going to be more "stern" this season compared to last. [Reuters]
:: GQ Magazine named Chris Brown the Worst Dressed Man. Hey, that's better than simply being named The Worst. [Pop Crush]

Nicki Minaj Strikes A Grammy Pose With LL Cool J
Mon Jan 30 2012 by Robbie Daw
LL Cool J appears to be having a much less aggravating time with blonde-wigged Nicki Minaj in these Grammy promo pics than he did with blonde-haired Taylor Swift in their commercials for music's big night. Of course, in real life, Taylor and Nicki are thick as thieves, and LL and the "Mean" singer are probably just as tight. Wonder if buddying up to the ceremony's host will help the Harajuku Barbie score any of the three awards she's up for? Ponder that while peeking at another photo of Minaj below.

Taylor Swift And LL Cool J Can’t Seem To Get Along In Grammy Promos
Mon Jan 30 2012 by Robbie Daw
In their joint Grammy promo ads, nominee Taylor Swift and host LL Cool J are all about dissing each other. Umbrella aficionado Tay expresses her excitement over the awards and the once-in-a-lifetime performances during one of the short clips, and LL assumes she might also be excited about him taking on hosting duties. "There's a host?" she asks. "Awkward." Oh, you two. More »
LL Cool J To Be First Grammy Host In Seven Years
Wed Jan 18 2012 by Robbie Daw
The Grammy Awards haven't had a host since Queen Latifah took up the chore in 2004 — and those are some mighty diva-sized shoes to fill. But the RIAA feels that LL Cool J is up to the challenge. After all, the pioneering MC cut his teeth by hosting The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! every year from the get-go, in 2008. "I'm thrilled to be part of Music's Biggest Night," said LL Cool J in a statement. "I will always have fond memories of my first GRAMMY Awards and to now be hosting the GRAMMY show, in the company of so many other incredible artists, is a dream come true. Great performances and great music — it's gonna be a great night!" [Grammy.org] More »
Rappers Know How To Spell, As Evidenced By This Video Montage
Thu Jan 5 2012 by Becky Bain
Fergie isn't the only performer who would be a force to be reckoned with during a spelling bee. Pretty much every rapper - from Biggie ("B-I-G, P-O, P-P-A") to Snoop Dog ("The S-N-double-O-P") to Jay-Z ("H-O-V-A!") and beyond - makes sure the world knows who they are by providing the correct spelling of their MC name in their songs. The W to the A to the T-C-H-B-E-L-O-W for the proof. More »

Lightning Moves Black Eyed Peas Benefit Concert Backstage (PHOTOS)
Fri Jun 10 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
The Black Eyed Peas refused to let a little thunder and lightning stop their party in Central Park last night. What was meant to be a benefit show for 80,000 became an intimate backstage party for a mere 80 people due to inclement weater. “Chase and Robin Hood [foundation] will not let the rain and storm break our spirit…this is love,” the (sometimes forgetful) will.i.am tweeted last night. Check out Fergie, apl.de.ap, Natasha Bedingfield and LL Cool J as they showed a handful of devoted fans the time of their lives. More »
