JAY-Z &  KANYE WEST


Jay and 'Ye dropped their video for "Ni**as in Paris" today. The video features them at one of the concerts for Watch The Throne! Features a lot of sound effects, flashing lights, and a crazy live audience! Not the video I expected, but I love this song! The performance was hot! Check out the video below!


What do you think of the video?




Picking up from last Game Day, Malik finally sells off his house, and is depressed. Meanwhile,Melanie wants to go Drop Bar on a date with Derwin, though it's underhandedly to get at Tasha, who goes there all the time. Jason gets a new co-anchor, Summer Grayson, on the show and goes off. With the network suggesting that they sexy up the show, Summer is gorgeous, which they hope will bring in more viewers. However, Jason isn't feeling it at all.

Malik and Tee Tee reminisce on the memories of the old house (the dinners, and the many parties haha) to Boyz II Men's classic "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday." All this time, Malik had a pool, and never learned how to swim. He jumped in, and almost drowned. Tee Tee went in to save him, only for Malik to stand up in the water. We also see that Malik also bought a horse that he never rode, or even petted. It was the best laugh I've had yet!

Later, Chardonnay and Jason talk about the show. After talking to her, Jason accepts the fact that he has a co-anchor.

Melanie and Derwin get to Drop Bar, just for Melanie to irk Tasha, and of course Tasha gets irritated. It's like a competition of who's going to tip the best, and stay the longest.  Derwin eventually leaves Melanie to her stupid game. Melanie and Tasha stay until closing time, each trying to be the last ones to leave. I just want them to be friends again, but I doubt that will happen soon. BET is going to stretch this drama with them for all it's worth.

Later, Malik tries to light the house on fire, because he doesn't want anyone to have it. He shares with Tee Tee that he had dreams since the third grade of moving out of the projects and having a great house for him and his mom, even showing a picture he drew back then. Now, in having to sell the house, he feels like he's letting that kid down. Tee Tee encourages him to rise from the ashes and move on to the next dream. He burns the drawing, instead of the house, determined to do just that.

Chardonnay and Jason have dinner, and talk about how Jason intends to handle being around a white female co-anchor.  Chardonnay is very insecure about it, and Jason doesn't want to deal with it. He see her as his rock and ride or die, and Chardonnay feels like she doesn't have enough to be with him. She's very suspicious that Jason will get caught up in his new co-anchor (one because she's white, and two, she's very beautiful). However, Jason assures her that he wants to be with her, with Chardonnay assuring him that the show will be fine. I really like Brandy on this show. Her character works very well with Jason!

Next Game Day: Malik and Derwin bond over making fun of new quarterback Kwan, who make the Sabers lose a game.

Now officially a month after Blue Ivy stepped out into the world, Beyoncé made her first appearance post-birth at Jay-Z's concert at Carnegie Hall tonight. Later she headed out to the 40/40 club with Mama Knowles and hit the VIP with Jay and Nas (via Necole Bitchie)




I mean, let's be real. How many moms out there wish their bodies looked like that after birth? Shoot, I wish my body looked like that now! "Strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business." BEYONCÉ IS BACK! I knew it wouldn't be long. 

 

Monica and BrandyAll I can say is: FINALLY! We have been waiting for this duet for quite some time, and Brandy and Monica didn't disappoint. The duo released their newest song together "It All Belongs To Me," today and the world is going crazy, with Brandy and Monica and the song title become top trending topics within 20 minutes of the song's release!

The collaboration, produced by Rico Love, features the women kicking out their men on the soulful song, which will appear on both of their upcoming albums.

Listen to the song below!

“It’s a very soulful R&B song with pop sensibilities,” Love told Rap-Up.com. “I wanted to make sure I made it a classic R&B record, but I definitely wanted to make sure that it had enough appeal to cross over and become a Top 40 record.” Brandy added, “This business is all about competition. They forgot about what is the most important, which is two talents coming together. It’s just great to come back and do something with [Monica]. This is definitely a blessing.”

It's been 14 years since Brandy and Monica dropped their duet "The Boy Is Mine" in 1998. I remember being a kid and going crazy every time that came on the radio! To hear them again together is great! I think that their voices really compliment each other, and it's great to see them back together on this song! It's an amazing jam!




"Lola" takes over the confessional.This normally comes a lot earlier in the day, but here we go anyway. Picking up from last Jerzday, VINNY IS BACK!!!!! The house is whole again! The crew celebrates Vinny's return by heading to Karma, where Vinny and Pauly pick up their bromance. If there was a list of the top bromances in reality TV history, guarantee that they would be top five. Meanwhile, Pauly and Ronnie notice that Mike is being extra nice, and are wondering about his true intentions.

The house heads to Jenks the next day to hang out and have drinks. Mike ends up seeing a whole crew of guys that he knows, and invites them to hang out. Snooki thinks she may have a UTI, because she has been having some bladder control issues (which apparently can be relieved by tequila according to Dr. Snooki). While the rest of the house wants to go over to the batting cages, Mike wants to stay at Jenks and stays behind. Later, Snooki, Mike, and Deena end up getting in the same cab, and Mike (who is drunk) talks about his concerns, thinking that some people talk behind his back. Snooki thinks that Mike needs to hang out with them more, but also tells him to confront anybody that he thinks is talking about him.

Back at the house, Mike is still drunk, talking about him trying to be nice, sparking a household conversation. However, it's hard to take him seriously when his privates are out a little bit. Snooki is real and tells him that the house doesn't trust him (he is "crazy pants"). Mike asks the guys if he really did anything to piss him off, or if they have any issues with them, and of course, the boys don't say anything. However, the boys don't trust Mike either.

With all of this going on, Snooki brings out the bunny suit from last week, and ransacks the house. They also play "Warm Beer," which Snooki is the ultimate target of. It gives the house a well needed laugh.

The next day, Jenni's friend Dina comes over to fix Jenni and Snooki's hair. Snooki's dad Andy comes over. Mike runs into Roger on the boardwalk, who Jenni has been trying to call and call. Later, Mike tells Jenni, who gets really mad at Roger. He can spend all of his time on the boardwalk and at the beach, but can't pick up his phone?

Snooki goes to hang out with his dad on the boardwalk. Somehow, someway, Mike now believes that Snooki is the troublemaker. With all of the boys playing innocent like they have no problems with Mike, Mike thinks that Snooki was trying to start trouble by telling him to confront Now, he wants to retaliate on Snooki with the information about the alleged hookup. Sigh. It was only a matter of time before this came up again.

Next Jerzday, Mike calls up Unit to discuss the situation, while Jenni calls Roger and confronts him about not being a good boyfriend!


Definitely still had to give my recap of The Game. A little later than normal, because I couldn't watch it last night. I had to wait until my trusty online TV source uploaded it.                                                        
Picking up from last Game Day, we see Chardonnay and Jason go out on a date, and they both brought their own food. Of course, Chardonnay gets typical black person, yelling at the screen, and Jason starts acting up too. Jason actually likes her, and proposes that after the annulment, they start dating. Chardonnay refuses, saying that after the annulment they planned to go their separate ways, and that's still her intent.       
Read more below!




                                                                                                                              

Jason calls Derwin and Malik down to his show, with Derwin and Malik thinking it's to squash the drama between them. However, Jason just wants to talk about his drama with Chardonnay, which Derwin and Malik don't want to hear. But when Jason tells them she was black, they stop dead in their tracks and turn back haha!   Jason explains the whole situation to them to get their advice. Derwin suggests that they stay married, but on refuses. Derwin then tells him that maybe Jason should open up to her, and show her the real him.


Later Melanie and Derwin head to church Sunday morning, where they are escorted to a special VIP section where other celebrities are. I could not believe that they had here's a LEGIT VIP section, with a rope and security guard and everything! Melanie even texts the pastor earlier to hold up church just for them. Derwin even ended up getting a scalp massage during the sermon! You could tell Derwin was uncomfortable with it, because Melanie is so caught up in this VIP treatment, she's missing out on the real meaning of going to church in the first place. Plus she's signing checks to give, with prayers (more like wishes) like "Make me pregnant," and "Lose 5 pounds." WHAT? Like God is a genie, and you rub the lamp, or pay the right amount of money and all of your wishes will come true? Sigh.
Afterwards, Jason makes an appeal on his show to Chardonnay to start over from the beginning. However, Chardonnay feels like they want different things out of life. Jason then goes out with this other black woman Jennifer, who he expects to be down to earth and crazy like Chardonnay just because she's black, but she's pretty uptight, and she eventually leaves. 
Later, Jason heads over to Tasha's apartment to get her help in understanding Chardonnay. Tasha tells him that he obviously isn't used to anyone telling him no. She explains to him that a black woman  wants a relationship with a GOOD black man so badly, that she will wait around for him, pray for him, and then when she finally gets one, she can let him "act a fool." Which Jason realizes makes them a "bi-tter sweet chocolate morsel."  She advises him to accept Chardonnay on her terms and be honest, and to read Steve Harvey's Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. (Steve better get his promo in! The book was great, and the movie is coming out soon!).  
Next Sunday at church, Derwin and Melanie sit in the regular seats, where people hound Derwin for autographs, pictures, and money. Melanie asks Derwin if everything is good back in coach. The church later has a moment for prayer requests and praise reports, with Irma P. Hall (notably as Big Mama from Soul Food, I love her!) making an appearance, with her playing a member going through some hard times financially and health wise, asking the church for prayer. Melanie gets emotional behind it, and you can tell she starts reflecting over her superior behavior.    

Jason meets up with Chardonnay, and tells her that he's going to push his ego to the side and try to get on her level. Chardonnay still rejects him. He then reveals Tasha's advice to him, which turns Chardonnay off. Then he's just honest, and says that he wants her, and she has to let him show her who he really is. Chardonnay then agrees to go out with him. Awwww, how cute!
More of The Game next Tuesday!



                 


Don Cornelius
*Tear* According to TMZ, Don Cornelius, the creator and famous host of the hit show Soul Train (which ran from 1971-2006), was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, CA home this morning. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ it appears he committed suicide. Cops discovered the body at around 4 a.m PST.

Cornelius died from a gunshot wound to the head and officials believe the wound was self-inflicted. He was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. He was 75.

I would be lying if I said I was a regular viewer of Soul Train, and, of course, I didn't watch it when Mr. Cornelius was hosting. However, he is a legend, and to lose any legend is upsetting. But to lose a legend who felt the need to end his life himself is even sadder. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP!
