Maybe it's just a publicity stunt. Or maybe he has some really good reasons. I really don't know.  Nevertheless Nas' new record tagged as "N***er has raised more than a few eyebrows. Hopefully this brotha knows what he's doing because with a title like that, if this CD isn't perfect he could be laying his career to rest.

Alicia Keys answers the question concerning her sexuality for all those who have forever speculated about her and it. She states that she isn't gay, however, back in the day she could understand how folks would have gotten it twisted.

Alicia states "I was definitely rough around the edges. I look back at certain interviews and I'm like, 'Damn! Did I have to look that hard?" ..."I could see why people couldn't see the diamond in the rough"...."I know what I am. I know it's not true."

So there you have it from her own mouth... Alicia isn't gay. Maybe cool and down to earth but not gay.

That's right Lauryn Hill fans, our wait for the 32 year old's long awaited follow up to the The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill will have to wait a tad bit longer as the soul diva is reportedly pregnant with her 5th child. According to her myspace page, the music icon is currently residing in Florida working on her next project.

In the latest entry of dumb dumb news, Clifford "T.I." Harris was arrested yesterday on federal gun charges. The arrest happened just hours before T.I. was able to make his appearance at the BET Hip Hop Awards show in which he was expected to perform. His bodyguard turned snitch (now I see why rappers don't like snitches) delivered three machine guns and two silencers to him. The rapper allegedly paid the bodyguard to get the weapons for him due to the fact he is a convicted felon. After the arrest, authorities raided T.I.'s Atlanta home and found even more guns. My question is, when you're that rich, why do you need so many guns? Why do you need a gun? Things aren't looking too good for the self proclaimed "King of the South" as he is being held in federal custody over the weekend until he appears before a US magistrate judge on Monday.

Tyler Perry would like everyone to give his show 'House Of Pain' one more chance.

Perry Says, "And may I ask this to all of the people that gave up on the show early on and now have come back to it and are loving it (and I know that you're back because the ratings are amazing!) Could you just pass on to others how much the show has grown and how good it is now? Could you do it for me? I know it was rough in the beginning but its getting better and better. A lot happens in these last three episodes so check it out if you can." 

The series did start off a little slow and some of the jokes didn't work too well, but I'm down for giving him another chance.  Besides you have to crawl before you can walk.  Tyler's show can be seen on Wednesday nights on TBS.
