Rihanna and Chris Brown lovebirds spend time Cruising and shopping together


Lovebirds Chris Brown and Rihanna spent the day together cruising around and shopping together at the Wild Style by Joyrich store yesterday in Los Angeles, California.

The reunited couple took a drive in Chris‘ Porsche convertible and took care of some business at a local music studio, where they met up with RiRi‘s pal Melissa Forde.That same afternoon, Rihanna posted a picture of herself and Chris in the car on her Instagram page.


Chris kept it simple in a black cap, grey pullover hoodie and sweatpants by FUCT, with a pair of Air Jordan retro 3 sneakers. Rihanna wore a yellow sun dress and sandals. What do you think of their two looks?
 

Rick Ross dropped by Reebok over Rape Lyrics


The pressure must have just been too much for Reebok, because news broke that the shoe company will officially be dropping Rick Ross as a spokesperson.

Because of his now infamous "put molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it" line on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." record, the athletic brand received a lot of backlash for continuing to support Rozay, and subsequently severed ties.
Nobody seems to remember that Ross also said he would die for his Reeboks in the very same song!
Even though Rick gave a really half-assed apology on Twitter, we can forgive him. surely?




Angelina Jolie at the G8 Foreign Minister's Conference in London discussing Wartime Rape


Angelina Jolie waves to photographers as she enters the Lancaster House before attending the G8 Foreign Ministers’ Conference on Thursday (April 11) in London, England.


The 37-year-old actress was accompanied by British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who will be highlighting five key policy priorities during the conference.

Foreign Ministers are holding a two day meeting where they will discuss the situation in the Middle East; including Syria and Iran, security and stability across North and West Africa, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and climate change. Angelina Jolie is also urging G8 delegates to act to stop rape in conflict zones, which she says is a global issue but which can be prevented. Last month Jolie and the foreign secretary, William Hague, visited the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to raise awareness of the issue.

NEW MUSIC: PSY - 'Gentleman'

Listen now to South Korean rapper Psy's brand new single "Gentleman". The dancey record becomes the follow-up to Psy's massive international break-through single "Gangnam Style" which topped the digital and official charts of many countries for weeks, and had us all dancing the ridiculous, yet fun 'invisible horse' step at clubs last year. The music video for "Gangnam Style" recently reached the 1.5 billion views on YouTube. Sick!

Psy annouced via Twitter that he'd be releasing "Gentleman" on iTunes at midnight in local territories on April 12. Therefore, the first people in the world to hear, and be able to legally purchase "Gentleman" were the citizens of New Zealand. But, we all know how the Internet works, as the full song hit many free streaming outlets soon, meaning we all, no matter the time zone, or the country we live in, can listen to "Gentleman" RIGHT NOW. I personally don't think this was the most intelligent move by Psy's team. They should have fixed an iTunes release date for the entire world. Sales, at the beginning at least, will be hurt considerably.

Back to the world premiere of the single, "Gentleman" is another fun, crazy, makes-you-wanna-dance-like-a-maniac song by Psy. It's SO "Gangnam Style" though. Like a rip-off of it, but this is Psy's too, so it's okay I guess. I knew he wouldn't be exploring, or testing new waters sound-wise for the "Gangnam Style" follow-up. It would have been dumb too. People liked "Gangnam Style" for what it was, and Psy is right for making "Gentleman" not too different from it. The chorus of "Gentleman" goes like; 'I'm a mother-father gentleman!' (Lol, nice censoring). Make sure to catch Psy's massive concert at Seoul's World Cup Stadium - to be streamed on YouTube for free - on April 13 as Psy will debut "Gentleman" there live before 50,000 fans!.

Taylor Swift Stars In New Diet Coke Commercial


Coca-Cola announced earlier this year Taylor Swift would be the new ambassador for Diet Coke's new 'Stay Extraordinary' campaign and above we can see the first result of this partnertship. It's the first television commercial featuring Taylor and her song "22".

The 30-sec spot centers on the writing process of the youth anthem '22' (new single from "Red" if you didn't know!), as we can see Taylor penning the song at her hotel room, backstage of a concert, and at a café. Others scenes include Taylor Swift fans cheerfully singing the "22" lyrics. It was nice! Coca-Cola also stated their deal with the country-pop musician is a 'long-term' one so expect more commercials, ads, etc from Tay-Tay in the near future. Make sure to catch her on one of her 'Red Tour' dates this year!

 

NEW MUSIC: JAY-Z FT. SWIZZ BEATZ - 'OPEN LETTER'


It's not everyday you get to wake up to a new record from Jay-Z. Especially one that features production from Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. Today is not everyday though as Shawn Carter opens up about Cuba, ownership of the Brooklyn Nets, and more on this new record titled 'Open Letter'. Recorded last night as well.

Pretty simple beat but that's all that was needed for Jay to get his point across. Standout lines for me: "Would've brought the nets to Brooklyn for free. Except I made millions off you fucking dweeb. I still own the building. I'm still keeping my seats. Y'all buy that bullshit y'all better keep y'all receipts. Obama said "chill you gon' get me impeached. You don't need this shit anyway. Chill with me on the beach". There goes all the rumors about him abandoning the Nets.

2012 was a very quiet year for Jay-Z music wise with only an occasional feature here and there. If this record indicates anything, it's that 2013 will be quite the opposite musically compared to last year. New solo album coming later this year.

 Listen to 'Open Letter' below.
