As we anxiously (and impatiently) await a formal invitation to Missy Elliott's Block Party, we'll gladly settle for the iconic artist's Behind The Music premiere tomorrow night (10pm) instead. We like to think the "Take Ur Clothes Off" rapper finally responding to our pleading for new music by first guiding us on her journey to becoming the Supa Dupa Fly artist we've come to love. Jump below for not one, not two, but three previews of the music producer's VH1 special. More »

Sun Jun 27 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman

A lot went down tonight at the 2010 BET Awards. Drake was “Successful” and took home Best Male Hip-Hop Artist. Te Harajuku Barbie, Nicki Minaj, won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. And the title of Video Of The Year was awarded to Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s “Telephone”. But before any of that award action took place, our favorite pop superstars first had to walk the red carpet. See all the BET Awards arrival action that took place long beforeChris Brown (who surprisingly didn’t tweet about MJ on the anniversary of Michael’s death) got too choked up to sing “Man In The Mirror”.

Thu Jun 3 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman

A star studded group gathered in Miami studio this Memorial Day Weekend to shoot DJ Khaled’s music video for his “All I Do Is Win” remix. The video, directed by Gil Green (DJ Khaled’s “We Takin’ Over” and Rick Ross’ “Everyday I’m Hustlin’”), included a list of stars so long you might mistake the shoot for a second remake of “We Are The World”. Among those on the remixed track and in attendance: Rick Ross, P. Diddy, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Rich Kid, and Harajuku Barbie Nicki Minaj. Flip through to catch all the behind the scenes action and keep an eye out for Cassie who dropped by the set. More »


Coming Soon: The PUFFington Post? Internet Readies Itself For DiddyBlog

Tue May 4 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Brace yourselves. P. Diddy announced via his Twitter that he's starting a blog. Not since John Mayer's move from Twitter to Tumblr has a star utterly re-written the rules of the Internet... by occupying a new URL. The rapper/producer/entrepreneur called his new platform, "the most positive inspirational BLOG in THE WORLD!!!!" At the moment, all that's on the site is a 64-second video of historical moments of the last century: MLK, Muhammad Ali, Obama, a scene from 300, a Will Smith interview (huh?), and Diddy running the New York Marathon.

What can we expect from DiddyBlog? The video says "Believe. Create. Feel. Grow. Love. Inspire." So we're expecting a site that's—actually we have no idea. Watch below and see if you can decipher just what "THE RIVER WILL CARRY YOU" means. More »

7 Pop Stars Who Won’t Be Attending Opening Night Of The ‘South Park’ Broadway Musical

Thu Apr 15 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Let us be the first to give our regards to Broadway, because after the South Park musical, The Book Of Mormon, which debuts in March 2011, the Great White Way will be full of blue humor. Based on the show's history with the religious institution, we doubt any devote members of the Church Of Latter-Day Saints will be lining up for orchestra seats. And they're not the only ones South Park has satirized (sometimes beyond all recognition) over its last 200 episodes—we have a feeling some of our most beloved pop stars will just happen to have "other plans" on opening night. After the jump, check out which old goat, half-face singer, and gay fish are among the artists that won't be waiting at the stage door with a bouquet of roses for Matt and Trey. More »

Aly & AJ’s Breakup With Their Name Inspires A List Of Other Artists Who Have Changed Their Monikers Mid-Stream

Fri Jul 10 2009 by Maura

Earlier this week, the blonde pop duo Aly & AJ announced that they had changed their name to 78violet. (”Fyi…..u pronounce #78violet as seventy eight violet:),” they helpfully added.) The sisters are calling their renaming “an exciting new beginning,” although given that they’ve already achieved some chart success under their old name, one wonders if this change might hurt their fledgling pop career more than it helps. As a way to assist these young ladies through this crucial stage in their career, Idolator presents a few stories of artists who changed their names–and how their careers fared once all the paperwork with the local DMV had been signed.

Sean Combs Regresses, Just In Time For Cassie To Put Out A New Single

Wed Apr 15 2009 by Maura

Big changes are afoot in the Bad Boy universe: the strangely cypher-like singer Cassie has apparently been appointed “first lady” of the label, seemingly pushing aside Faith Evans (where has she been, anyway?). The occasion for said ascent: After countless delays and a head-shaving episode like the one I went through in 11th grade, she has a new single out! “It Must Be Love” a slight bit of R & B that’s delicately wound around a fluttery guitar sample, and it has one “Puff Daddy” filling the obligatory alpha-male role. Yes, those credits do say “Puff Daddy,” which you may remember was the years-ago name of one Sean Combs, the proprietor of Bad Boy who’s gone through aliases like some people go through favorite sweatshirts. What is going on here? Perhaps Mr. Combs is planning on reserving the “Diddy” moniker for his Twitter persona, which has accrued more than half a million followers? Or his adventures with the Arctic Monkeys? Judge for yourself after you hear the track, which is below.
