Excuse the mess. We are cleaning up around here making room for a long stay at Gyantunplugged.com. But this story was too much for me to wait until tomorrow to update the blog.
OK, so word on the street is that Nick Cannon’s suggah momma Mariah Carey’s concert antics have grown way too much for her precious fans she lovingly calls her “lambs.” Apparently M.C. has lost her diva luvin’ mind regarding her ticket prices and overall showmanship.
In today’s ridiculous roller-coaster ride we call the recession, Carey is said to be charging fans $325 bucks a ticket for the best seats — a price Mariah hasn’t been worth since the days of “Hero” and “Honey”– and is trimming down her set time with each show. And if that’s not adding insult to an already diva-like injury she’s reportedly cut three more songs for the past two dates, including fan favorite “Emotions.”
Usually immune to Mariah’s diva behaviors, the lambs are burning mad and apparently are starting to revolt by looking else where for there musical entertainment, which won’t bode well for Mimi’s bottom line. Hell I hear even B. Scott is over it. [OK, I added that last part..LOL]
Gyantunplugged.com already put you onto the rumor that her current tour isn’t doing as well as previously expected. Look, at the end of the day Mariah’s done VERY well for herself with a fantastic career, however once the fans turn on you your career is over.
This trailer will easily be the most talked Super Bowl commercial of the year. Check out a teaser for M. Knight Shyamalan’s new movie “The Last Airbender,” which is from the anime series “Avatar “The Last Airbender.”
About the movie:
In a world where the elements Water, Earth, Fire, and Air can be controlled by people known as “benders”, the Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war to control the other great nations. The only hope for stopping the brutal war rests on the shoulders of a reluctant young boy named Aang (Noah Ringer). The last known survivor of the peaceful Air Nomads and the Airbenders, Aang is the Avatar. The Avatar is the physical re-incarnation of the world, with the power to manipulate all four elements and draw upon the power, knowledge, and experiences of the Avatar’s previous incarnations. The Avatar is responsible for maintaining balance between the four nations of the world and the spirit world, hence keeping the balance of the world. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her brother Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), Aang begins a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Standing in their way are the Fire Nation’s Admiral Zhao (Aasif Mandvi) and Prince Zuko (Dev Patel), the banished prince of the Fire Nation who seeks to capture Aang to regain his honor.
Lets hope Shyamalan doesn’t disappoint with this one because though I am a fan of his films that last one he put together with Mark Whalberg “The Happening” was a bunch of bullshit.
According to Necole Bitchie Reggie Bush is rumored to have proposed to his longtime porn star girlfriend Kim Kardashian last night while dining with family [and the E! cameras I'm sure] at Prime 112.
Kim was spotted leaving the venue with her left hand covered, and will supposedly announce their wedding news after Bush wins the Super Bowl.
These two are about as interesting as watching white wet paint dry, so I could give two f*cks — especially after watching the worlds worst sex scene between she and Ray-J. However, I do give praise to Kardashian for turning one’s shame and embarrassing sex tape into Hollywood gold. Homegirl took lemons and made Spanish Fly.
Look kids, you two can become a celebrity by not having a specialized skill. Just make sure ur make-up is flawless, your waist is right, and make sure you sleep with the brother/sister of a celebrity –with the camera’s rolling of course– and you’ll be good.
Ludacris is still down in Miami pushing his new amazingly tasteful Conjure cognac brand. And after checking out a few sites I spotted some great video of Luda showing of the new cognac and also discussing it’s impact on the market from its consumers.
Check it out. You gotta luv the rapper taking a leap with his new entrepreneurial endeavor.
50 Cent continues to come at Jay-Z in hopes of getting some much needed attention thrown his way now that his new album “Before I Self Destruct” is officially a commercial failure.
The bully of hip-hop opened up about his feelings towards the top selling and cultural defining MC we all know as Jigga in the new issue of GQ:
“Jay-Z’s not smart enough to be afraid of me. We’re big rivals. If it ever came to an actual altercation he’d know what it’s like to be afraid.”
Color me a hater, but Fiddy’s attempts of going at Jay-Z [again] and Jay not responding to a single jab makes Curtis look like one desperate, sad loser. Hey Curtis, why don’t you focus more on saving what little rap career you have left then to threaten hip-hop royalty.
If Jay-Z is considered to be the king of Hip-Hop then you my friend is clearly the Court Jester. #imjustsayin
The NBC Brass has clearly gotten to Questlove, drummer of The Roots, because now he’s claiming the picture he took of the NBC cafeteria menu consisting of fried chicken, black eyed peas and cornbread was nothing more then a joke that all the bloggers — from Gawker to The Huffington Post no less– have taken too far.
Quest goes on to explain in the video above that twitter is very tongue and cheek, and that he’s more concerned for the cafeteria staff and plans on packing his lunch from this point on.
I still don’t understand the reaction from Twitter-gate. Why are we as a people so up in arms about a black history month menu that was privately distributed to staff members, but have nothing to say about the lack of black men in households or the incessant perpetuation of the thug life ala durags and sagging pants.
Hammerhead aka Drake had Miami all riled up last night as he blessed the Super Bowl weekend with a performance at AXE Lounge.
According to Bossip everybody and their momma came out all clambering for piece of the over hyped MC. Apparently the performance was only open to 1,000 of Aubrey Graham closet friends however over 2,500 people showed up including Nelly, Dr. Dre, members from the Black Eyed Peas, and more.
As you guys already know it’s the same ole story with me and this dude. I just don’t understand the phenomenon. The cheese stands alone yet again.
That damn Kim Porter NEVER ceases to amaze me. *Edit* Young kids don’t read any futher *Edit*
Only a wretched whore who spread her legs for a lavish lifestyle would act so smug when asked about a recent interview from Diddy’s FIRST real baby’s momma Mrs. Misa Hylton-Brimm.
I didn’t cover the story — you know because I have a life– but apparently Misa talked openly and honestly about Kim Porters childish attitude [my words not hers] and behavior towards Diddy’s other lil girl down here in Atlanta named Chance. Misa insisted that Kim will come around in time. Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, yada.
Porter’s response is above.
To be clear I am not taking sides because I could give two f*cks at the end of the day. However, the fact that Porter is a mother and a professional jump off yet still tries to come off so refine and upidity — and still keeps up so much unnecessary animosity between Diddy and his kids by way of their baby’s mothers is incredibly sad.
And to think I used to refer to Sarah as the whore. I could have NEVER been so wrong.
