Christina Millian Gets 4 Mill in Divorce From Dream


Christina Milian has millions of reasons to smile today.

The L.A. Times is reporting the singer got nice chunk of change in her divorce settlement from The-Dream.

Dream has to cough up a lump sum of $4 million plus $5,000 a month in child support.

Not a bad payday for a marriage that didn't even last a year.

The pair were married in September 2009, but by July 2010, The-Dream was photographed all boo-boo up with his assistant.

In exchange for the settlement and continued support, Milian has reportedly signed a strict non disclosure agreement. So there won't be any books or talks dishing dirt on her ex.

Nicki Minaj Dubbed The "Queen Of Hip-Hop" By Rolling Stone


Nicki Minaj Rolling Stone Feature
Lil Kim may not agree, but the newly dubbed “Queen of Hip-Hop”, Nicki Minaj, has definitely stolen the hearts of Rolling Stone Magazine.
In the new spread featuring the Young Money Princess, Nicki opens up about her success in the industry and why being famous wasn't her agenda behind making it in Hip-Hop.
“When I was little, I used to ask God to make me rich so that I could take care of my mom,” Nicki said in the interview. “I always believed that if I could take care of my mother then she wouldn't have to stay with my father.”

In addition to discussing her past, Nicki Minaj also discusses her sexuality. After claiming to be an openly gay woman who thought “boys were icky”; Nicki is now changing her tune stating that she loves the wood.
“I think women are sexy,” Nicki continued. “But I am not going to lie and say that I date girls.”

Trendy Tuesdays With Lucky Linden: Nicki Minaj @ the Wendy Williams Show


In time for her Album release Nicki appeared on the Wendy Williams show on November 17th. Nicki had one of her signature wigs on (blonde with pink tips) and wore a pink leggings with black lace over the top. I think that she has ALOT of personality in her style. I don't think it matters who she is influenced by she still makes it her own. I also like her chunky bangles and the colorful scarf. I would steal those two things from her look here and keep the rest of my outfit neutral. If you want bangles like that you can find someone who sells painted bangles. I know a really great accessories designer her name is Stephanie Vidal shes a FIT grad. More info about Stephanie to come.

T.I. covers VIBE, speaks on drug habit


Just a few days before T.I. had to turn himself into authorities once again, the predicate felon sat down with journalist, Erik Parker, and opened up about how someone who has been given so many chances ends up back in a prison cell. The Dec/Jan issue of VIBE hits news stands on Nov.30th.

VIBE: How did you get a drug habit?

T.I. : I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat shit that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone. And, mind you, on October 13, 2007, I had cut off everything―weed, alcohol. Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I’m like, Wait―this shit makes me feel good. And it’s legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill. Times when I had 18-, 20-hour days, I’d take a pain pill. And eventually I developed―I guess―the beginning stages of dependence.

Video: Jay-Z Announces Jay Electronica Is On Roc Nation + Freestyle



"IM NOT ILLMUNATI BUT MY EYE'S ON THE MONEY"
Congrats to Jay Electronica tho he been grindin for a minute

Miss Info has the details:

Tonight, Jay E.’s friends, family, fans and critics are packed into The Box, to announce that he’s officially part of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation roster.

Earlier I spoke to Jay E. about the big news, and his plans. He said that the actual contract was signed on Saturday, after a few weeks of intense daily communication and creative courtship. How did it start? With a chance meeting at the Spotted Pig. How did Electronica know Hov was serious? His second replay email came attached with a verse. That ended up becoming the Jay Electronica and Jay-Z collaboration “Shiny Suit Theory” (featuring French chanteuse Charlotte Gainsbourg and The-Dream).

There’s irony in the fact Jay-Z appears on a Jay Elec song that’s based on Diddy’s description of Jay Elec. Because Diddy has been mentoring and courting Jay for over a year, in the hopes of signing him as well. Electronica insists he values everything Puff contributed and hopes to have him involved in his career, but said “Jay-Z made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. And I have the freedom I need too.”

The natural of the underground, the anti-establishment, the independent artist is rapidly changing…so I’m anxious to see what happens when Jay the conglomerate and Jay the mystic mix commerce and art

Lupe Fiasco Airs Bush Out On Twitter

The recent controversy surrounding George Bush, Matt Lauer and Kanye West has stirred up long simmering bad feelings about the former President.

Bush said that Kanye's comments about him "not liking black people" was one of the "lowest moments of his presidency."

Kanye tried to clarify his statements on The Today show this week, but that interview with Matt Lauer didn't go over well. West was so frustrated with how he felt he was treated by Lauer, he's pulled out of a post Thanksgiving Day performance on the Today Show.

Fellow Chicago native and rapper Lupe Fiasco, came to Kanye's defense today via twitter.
