    Angela Bassett
    received a Hollywood start on Hollywood's walk of fame yesterday. This is well deserved. To see just how amazing this lazy is, all you have to do is watch "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "Waiting To Exhale". I'm excited to see what she brings to Tyler Perry's: "Meet The Brown's" this weekend. Check on Monday for the review on that. [Source]


    Clay Aiken
    is still around? The answer to that would be…Yes, and he's looking to release his new album On My Way Here May 6th via 19 Recordings/RCA. Apparently he has been starring in the Broadway show "Spamalot" which is concluding. He is also expected to tour this summer in the U.S., starting in July. [Source]


    On Bad Boy Record's quest to bring relevance back to the label Danity Kane released their album Welcome to the Doll House this past Tuesday and new group Day 26's self-titled album will drop this upcoming Tuesday. As we all know, Bad Boy has fallen off big time compared to what the label used to be, even if Diddy doesn't want to admit it.  Check out their new video here.

    P.S. I would have reviewed these albums however I didn't find enough good material to talk about on either one. While I do like Day26's album much better than DK's, I think both still far very short of what they could have been.


    Despite speculations, a screengrab that was being circulated amongst blogs is not that of Lindsey Lohan and her ex-boyfriend Calum. It appears that bloggers have found the old X-rated video that the screengrab originated from and it does not include Lindsey. [Source]


    This is news to me. YouTube has video awards. Apparently YouTube users vote on six nominess for each category: music, sports, comedy, instructional, short film, inspirational, commentary, creative, politics, series, eyewitness and adorable. Once the votes are casted, YouTube recognizes each winner as the top user-created video of the year. Winner for best music video went to a guy by the name of Tay Zonday for his song "Chocolate Rain". If you haven't seen this yet, check it out here. Trust me, you will get a good laugh from this. [Source]
