Wale On The Cover Of "Rolling Out"

November 1st is officially here. For those of you that are Wale fans, you know what that means...  "Ambition" is officially out. Besides the release of his album, Wale is on the cover of "Rolling Out." On the cover, Wale is holding a chess play piece with the words "WALE, In Search Of A Hip-Hop Masterpiece." In his interview with the Magazine, he spoke on catering to his female fan, what he looks for in a woman, and people's criticism on why he didn't have dark skin women in his music video "Pretty Girls."

On catering to his female following

"I want to be an advocate for the women. I may say some wild things, but that’s our time to have fun. But I stand for fixing the world our way. Let’s add spice to this and change the world. I believe women should go to school to network with others who will change the world. I’m encouraging. I’m a part of the problem, but I want to be a part of the clean up. “No Hands” is the party and “Ambitious Girls” is the clean up. We can have fun, but I hope you’re getting up and going to class. I don’t want to get in the way of that. That [is] something you have to do. For two years, I had to walk around with about $15 in my account. That was my time. I left school and had to get on my grind. I was about 21. Now show me you can work the system for four or five years and continue to do your thing."

On not having dark skin women in his video "Pretty Girls"

"It wasn’t about that, but it showed me what I meant to the black culture. That made me realize that people hold me at a higher regard. That was when I knew I had to make a change. For “Pretty Girls,” I didn’t go on set until there were dark-skinned girls at the video shoot. I was waiting. The most horrible feeling in the world, was that my women think that I don’t care about them. I’d rather go broke than for my black women to think that I don’t care about them. I would rather lose everything than to have my queens think I’m turning my back on them. I was the only kid in my neighborhood with a father. And that’s because I’m African and they don’t divorce. It messed me up. When I was in Mississippi, a girl told me she had her first child at 16. So I made a song called “Illest B—- Alive.” There’s a special place in my heart for black girls. If you’re black and have a black mother, you know how special they are."

Happy 11th Birthday Willow Smith

Not only does Willow get to celebrate Halloween on October 31st, but she also celebrates her birthday. The free spirited daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, celebrates her 11th birthday today.

Willow will be singing and putting her own little twist to the film's popular songs like "Hard Knock Life" (which Jay-Z sampled) "Maybe," and "Tomorrow."

Sneak Peak Of Tonight's Basketball Wives L.A (Episode 10)

Seems like tonight's episode of Basketball Wives L.A is going to be filled with a lot of drama. All of the ladies take a trip to the beautiful Hawaii. Now what was suppose to be a relaxed mini vacation without drama, turned into a drama filled vacation. In the sneak peak, Laura talks to her sister Gloria about the situation between she, Jackie, and Imani. She even addresses the fact she does not like Draya (sidenote: but yet, she's always talking and hugging Draya when she sees her... Don't really understand that).

The sneak peak transitions to miss Imani, who is fed up with the trash Laura has been saying about her and the other cast members, calls a moving company to move Laura stuff out her garage. She plans on telling Laura about the moving situation after their trip to Hawaii. In one scene, seems like Imani will finally speak up on her little beef with Laura during dinner in Hawaii.
Check out the sneak peak below:

Let's see how the drama unfolds in tonight's episode.

New Music Video: Jill Scott Featuring Paul Wall "So Gone (What My Mind Says)"

Although Jill is known for her female empowering songs, she is no rookie to sexy bedroom songs. Jill turns it up in her new music video "So Gone (What My Mind Says)", which features Texas rapper Paul Wall. A slimmer Paul Wall is going a different route with his lyrics on Jill's track, where he drops a sexy and pillow biting verse and mentions his diamond-chipped d*%k.

During a listening session earlier this year, Jill spoke on the different titles of the song and the meaning behind one of them. 

"The song kind of embarrasses Paul Wall a little bit because its called a few thing. It's called "So Gone" officially. We've got a clean version, officially, it's called "What My Mind Says," and it's called "Diamond Chip D-k." "Diamond Chip D-k," for anyone who may not understand, is the vision when the zipper is unleashed the bling (laughs) and kind of like that."

In Living Color Making A Comeback

Say it is sooooooo! Could it be that popular FOX sketch comedy series "In Loving Color" could be making a comeback? The show that launched careers of comedians and actors like the Wayans family (Kim, Shawn, Marlon, and Damon), David Allan Grier, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, and more is coming to a tv near you. It even started the career of Jennifer Lopez, who was just a Fly Girl showing the world her dance moves.

FOX and "In Living Color" creator/producer Keenan Ivory Wayans announced the return of the classic series with a two and half-hour special. However, there is a catch. If all goes well with the two hour special, a rebooted version will be added to FOX's fall schedule next year. Keenan will produce the series through his company Ivory Way Production, which is in association with 20 Century FOX.
Rumor is that Keenan is bringing in a new cast for the sketch series. But, word has not been confirmed if former cast members will make an appearance.
Check out a classic sketch from "ILC" titled "The Buttmans":

But in other news, seems like Matt and Gloria has called it quits. Although Gloria did make it seem that her relationship with her ex-fiancee is perfect, it's been obvious the pair have been struggling to make it work throughout the series. At one point of the BBW series (episode 5 to be exact), Matt opened up about his love for Gloria, while having dinner with Jackie and Doug Christie. As Matt was speaking, Gloria sat back and listened to what he had to say, but it seems like Gloria wasn't buying it.

Throwback Jam Of The Day: Ginuwine "So Anxious"

"Love And Hip-Hop" Season 2 Super Trailer

Looks like "Love & Hip-Hop" season 2 is going to be crazy. Yesterday, VH1 released the super trailer for the reality series. All I can say is just DRAMAAAAA!!! Where can I begin? Well, lets start with the fight that broke out between Chrissy (Jim Jones girlfriend/fiancee) and Kimbella (model and Juelez Santanna baby mama). During a conversation between some of the cast members, Kimbella revealed that she dated Fabolous three years ago, which was the same time Emily (Fabolous ex-girlfriend) was pregnant with Fab's son Johan. Well, maybe this is why Emily B decided to call it quits with Fabolous. In this season, Emily is single, on her own, and focusing on her career. However, she is still emotional from the break up, which leads her to drown herself in her work. 

So, the drama continues with CHRISSY. Seems like Mama Jones still has beef with her. She went to the extreme and recorded a track dissing Chrissy, and even made a video of her recording the song (WOWZERS)! The beef between these two ladies does not sit well with Jim. In the super trailer, Jim is seen having an emotional conversation with his mother, where he cries about Chrissy's and Mama Jones beef.

Now, let's switch gears. Olivia seems to be very emotional about her career this season. In one scene, both Olivia and her manager are seen tearing up because of labels and record execs not believing in her. Somaya is still on her grind as always. But looks like she and her manager Maurice aren't seeing eye to eye. Besides Kimbella, we do see another new face this season. Jim Jones manager Yandy is one of the newbies of the series. Seems like she's Mrs. Fix-it in season 2. Basically, she's the peacemaker.

Somaya Reece Puts "Love And Hip-Hop" Rumors To Rest/ "Love And Hip-Hop" Trailer

Yesterday, Bossip broke a story about VH1 hit reality series "Love And Hip-Hop." Supposedly, Somaya Reece was booted from the show and replaced by a model named Erica Mena. She is a Miami model and the former girlfriend of Terror Squad affiliate Raul Conde. A source told Bossip that Erica will be used to introduce a Miami spin off to "Love and Hip-Hop." The insider also said that Somaya was only going to make a few appearances on the show this season.

"Somaya did tape some episodes. I'm not sure at which point she was phased out and how much of her footage will be included, but she left the production team in a lurch. She told them she had a few ventures in the works, which would have given her a storyline on this new season. But as taping went on, it became obvious that she really didn't bring anything new to the table other than what she had going on last year, which we know wasn't much."
In addition to Erica, Teairra Mari is expected to be on the show as well.
"She's basically taking over Mashonda's role as Emily Bustamantes new best friend. Now that she officially single again, Tearria has basically become Emily's guide to the party life."
However, Somaya was not too pleased with this rumor. Earlier today, she met with her lawyers and her Publicist to shut down these rumors
"Meeting with my lawyers, & @MsKai_AspirePR this about to get really UGLY. Don't mess with the Davis Firm clients !!!!!!!
She later hinted that the rumor was cleared up via her twitter.
