Kim Kardashian ‘Bored’ Staying At Home With North West — Report

Seems like Kim Kardashian our "Mummy North West" is tired of been a mum,  after enjoying a relaxing break from her hectic schedule for months, it has now be reported that she’s itching to get back into the swing of her old routine!
here is what a close source confirmed:

Video: Dbanj Releases a Teaser of His New Video

We finally get to see a teaser for the video of kokomaster D’banj‘s ‘Top of the world’, theme song of the 2013 African Nation’s Cup and one of his hit singles in his recent Album, DKM (D' Kings Men)

Drake Album "Nothing was the same" Leaks out.

Drake's "Nothing Was the Same" leaked out online on Sunday night, September 15. The album, which follows up the Canadian rapper's 2011 release "Take Care", unexpectedly arrived more than one week ahead of its official release date, September 24.

One track that draws fans' attention is "Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2". Drake worked with Jay-Z for the song, which features the 36-year-old rap mogul reworking Kanye West's famous "sunglasses and Advil" line as "Last night was mad trill, I'm fresh out of Advil, Jesus grab the wheel." 

"Nothing Was the Same" also includes Drake's collaborations with the likes of 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Jhene Aiko, Sampha, Majid Jordan and Detail. 

He has also dropped a track called "Wu-Tang Forever", a tribute to New York-based hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. It has been reported that the surviving members of the group are working on a remix to the song.

Wu-Tang Clan's U-God said "They wanted us to remix it and get on there [so] you gon' probably hear another one with us on it," he also said "Meth did his verse - we all did our verses. I wrote my rhyme in probably 15, 20 minutes. We were moving so fast we only had about four hours of studio time. If I had some time to really sit down and get juicy with it, I probably could've got juicier with it. But I still do a nice one, I still do a real banger."

Me i love the drake, and i can't wait to have the Album already. :)

2 Chainz the hip-hop's hottest commodity at the Moment.

2 Chainz is perhaps hip-hop's hottest commodity right now.
His second record, B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time, has produced three top-20 hits and a slew of collaborations with stars as diverse as Pharrell, Drake and Diplo.
And he's officially a top choice for rappers looking for a guest - 2 Chainz charges a cool $100,000 for a verse, according to Kanye West on BBC Radio's 1Xtra.

But 2 Chainz took a break from his music on Thursday to tackle a different task: Filming for Music Choice's Take Back Your Music Campaign, which he did at Other Music in New York City.
The ad campaign, which has featured Robin Thicke, Luke Bryan, A$AP Rocky and others, highlights Music Choice's library of music videos and digital music channels.
The 36-year-old rapper certainly dressed to impress: He donned a flashy hooded t-shirt emblazoned with two huge gold chains, some spotless white trousers and a pair of thick-rimmed sunglasses.

He didn't forget his namesake, of course: A thick gold chain and pendant hung from his neck.
But 2 Chainz, real name Tauheed Epps, recently revealed in a Rolling Stone interview that people don't know the secondary meaning behind his moniker.
'People think it means I wear two chains all the time,' he says. 'But it also means this is my second chance.'
Though he made a couple mixtapes under the name Tity Boy, the turnaround in his career came as he picked up a focused work ethic - inspired by Lil Wayne, who 2 Chainz opened for on a 2008 tour.

'Having a phone full of millionaires and not being one bothered the hell out of me,' the rapper says, referencing the peers that he saw and interacted with on a daily basis.
Eventually, his talent and effort came together, attracting attention from hip-hop's biggest names.
'Kanye would tell me that he was designing clothes listening to my music,' says 2 Chainz. 'Like, 'I made a scarf listening to that sh-t.''

          

Miley Cyrus defends her Wrecking Balls video

Miley Cyrus keeps a low profile with a blanket over her head while leaving her hotel and heading to the airport on Thursday morning (September 12) in London, England.

The 20-year-old actress/singer recently defended her controversial music video for her latest single “Wrecking Ball.”

“I think the video is much more [than that],” Miley told Elvis Duran on his radio show. “If people get past the point I make, and you actually look at me, you can tell I look more broken than even the song sounds.”

Miley added, “The song is a pop ballad that everyone can relate to; everyone has felt that feeling at some point. If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination and see what the video really means, it is so vulnerable.”

KANYE WEST FIRES BACK AT RAY J "You're Lame and You Know It!"

Kanye West decided it's finally time to destroy Ray J -- and last night he blasted his wife's sex tape partner on national TV ... going straight after Ray's manhood. 

West made a surprise appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to perform his hit "Bound 2" -- but during the song, he changed some of the lyrics to attack Ray: 

"Brandy’s little sister lame man he know it now ... When a real brother hold you down, you ‘sposed to drown."

We're guessing Kanye is finally responding to Ray's song, "I Hit It First" ... in which Ray bragged about bangin' Kim Kardashian before Kanye did. 

But the best part of Kanye's attack ... the legendary Charlie Wilson punctuating the venomous lyrics with a "shabadabaweeeeeee"

It's awesome.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian acquires $ 2million armored SUVs built by Latvian-based Dartz Motorz.

Say what you want about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, but they’re taking the doting parent

 thing pretty seriously – at least based on what little North West will soon be shuttled around in.

The controversial rap star, and proud new papa, has apparently doled out more than $2-million

for a pair of SUVs that can withstand gunfire, bombs, landmines, and rocket-propelled 

grenades.

Built by Latvian-based automaker Dartz Motorz, the trucks look like pumped-up and armor-

plated Hummer H1s with a penchant for wearing lots of bling.

The truck's 6.0-liter V-8 pushes out 552-horspower and comes equipped with a 6-speed 

automatic and all-wheel-drive.

Top speed is a (claimed) 194 mph, and Dartz says the sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes 4.9 s

seconds.

what do you think about this? isn't this too expensive?

Did Taylor Swift just mouth "shut the f*** up" at One Direction?

When our favourite five lads One Direction were presenting at the MTV Video Music Awards, it seems Taylor wasn't exactly too bothered about listening to their chatter.

As the squeaky Sass Master from Doncaster, Louis Tomlinson, is gearing up to award Selena Gomez with a moon man for Best Pop Video, Taylor appeared to whisper a bit of swearing.

 

It appears that she's caught saying: "Shut the f*** up."

Which is quite a big ask considering they were only doing as they were told.

And the organisers probably wouldn't be too impressed if they stopped talking because Taylor didn't want to listen to Harry and his mates any longer.

MTV VMA 2013: Lady Gaga opens awards show to boos and jeers

She's only just returned to the stage after sustaining a hip injury during a performance earlier this year but it seems her comeback may not be as welcomed by some as she may be by her fans.

Lady Gaga opened the MTV VMAs in New York on Sunday night by singing her latest single Applause but boos and jeers could be heard as she took to the stage.

It seems the singer may have had the sound pumped into the Barclays Center as part of the show in reference to the name of her song but it wasn't such a good night for all acts.

The star found herself comforting boyband One Direction backstage at the event after they were met with a negative reception from some members of the audience when they appeared to collect their prize in the Best Song Of The Summer category for their single Best Song Ever.

Gaga hinted she had the boos pumped into the stadium

 

Greeting the five boys behind the scenes Gaga, who was visibly shocked when they were booed during the show, offered some comforting words when she said she hinted she had the sounds during her performance as a statement.

She told the band: "Don't you dare let those people boo you. If I did hear what I heard out there, I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success that you have.

"I want to leave right now. I don't want to stay because I don't want to be in a room where people are booing."

SHOCKER: Demi Lovato Nude Photos: Published (Allegedly)!

The purported photos of X Factor judge Demi Lovato nude have been published on a celebrity gossip site, though their authenticity is not confirmed.

After Radar reportedly turned down an offer to buy the racy pics, another outlet claims they are still in negotiations to buy them - and has posted a preview.

The images in question show a dark-haired woman who looks like Demi Lovato nude in a bath tub, lying topless in bed, kissing another girl, etc.

The person selling the images also claims that Demi is bisexual and she had a romantic relationship with the woman who provided the photos.

“We have nude/sexual photos of Demi Lovato and was wondering if you would like to buy them," says the alleged pic shopper, who needs grammar lessons.

Check them the borderline NSFW collage after the jump:

 

That's what appears on celebrity gossip site CelebSlam. So, there you go.

Make of the photos what you will, THGers. Says the alleged source:

”After Demi got with Wilmer our friend called it off because she didn’t like being played, she sent me these pictures that Demi sent her as a joke."

"I have no use for them. There are about 20 total, not all have indication they are of her except some have her tattoos in ones you cannot see the face.”

So are they her or not? The woman in the photos does appear to have the same tattoos as Demi, including 12 black birds on her right forearm.

“These are Demi. The collection shows some nude, including face, some including parts of the body Demi is known for ... tattoos, butt, chin," says one insider.

"I can guarantee you these photos are legitimately of Demi."

Guaranteed. And by that we mean not at all guaranteed.

Perrie's mom, Deborah, even had details about Zayn's proposal.

Debbie shared, "Yes it is, it's true. They got engaged on Sunday and it was absolutely lovely."

She added, "And it's wonderful because Zayn's absolutely gorgeous and Perrie loves him to pieces and it's just perfect. They just get on so well together and they understand each other so it's just fabulous."

Zayn got all proper and traditional, she said, noting, "He did the traditional asking me and then asking his mum and dad. It was fabulous. It was lovely."

She said she was emotional when he asked her if he could marry Perrie.

Perrie's brother took to Twitter to confirm the happy engagement news as well. This. Is. Happening.

Our minds are already spinning over the 1D and Little Mix groomsmen and bridesmaids though!

"Zayn and Perrie are engaged, but any further detail regarding their relationship is private."

Lady Gaga Is Angry at Fans for Sending Hateful Messages

It's no secret that Lady Gaga loves her fans...but Gaga also loves love and when her fans are sending hateful messages on her behalf, it makes her angry.

During a Twitter feud with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton this weekend, some of Gaga's Little Monsters got a little too heated in their defense of her and started sending Perez really hateful messages, with some Twitter users even threatening to kidnap and kill Perez's son.

Of course, Gaga is not taking Perez's side, but she IS taking a stand against hate...even when that hate is directed at someone who she's embattled in a bitter feud with.

First, Gaga tweeted to her fans, asking them to stop sending hate. "I can fight my own battles monsters, please stop sending negativity on my behalf it's not what I stand for," she wrote. "I can handle myself."

When that didn't work, Mother Monster decided to send a more detailed message on the Born This Way Foundation's blog, telling them that she does not support such actions and asking them to remember what she stands for:

I've said this to the fans time and time again, whether it be in person or in tweets, as well as the through the message and campaign of the Born This Way Foundation. My mother and I are passionate about tolerance, acceptance, and kindness, and I've made it a point early in my career to make it known that this is what I stand for as an artist.

While it may be difficult at times to hear the things that people say and write about me, or the nature of the industry that builds us up to tear us down, I feel the need to address you all here on behalf of the Born This Way Foundation.

Sending threats of any kind, using hateful or abusive language, and the provoking of others on the internet is not supported by me or anything that I stand for. What I've seen transpiring is wrong and upsetting to me, and I've made it very clear how I feel about equality and compassion.

I know how angry you feel sometimes, and I know that when they say things about me you feel that they are saying them about you as well. But music is about love, and is about sharing in the magic of theater. Although pop culture and society have become more negative and critical of the artist over the years, by engaging in this negativity you are allowing it to spread.

I ask you to take a pledge with me to continue the change toward positivity, and to recognize that this behavior is wrong. We are stronger than this. We know what we stand for, and what we stand for is bravery. I know this because what I see on the internet is not what I see at my shows. People deal with their insecurities in many different ways. The anonymous nature of social media has made it easy for many to vent their anger by bullying others with no recourse or accountability. But this is not a healthy way to handle your emotions.

This is exactly what my mother and I aim to teach with the Born This Way Foundation. Promoting skill building and mental health awareness that provides another outlet for your feelings. Put it in your art, put it in your music, put it in your creativity. Stop the Drama, Start the Music.

I also ask that Twitter and other social media platforms support this effort to monitor and control abusive and threatening language, as I don't know that I am powerful enough to stop it myself. Please represent me and our community with the values we cherish and live by.

I love you.

Wow, that's some pretty powerful stuff. What do you think of Gaga's message for her fans?
