eyeReview: Pink FRIDAY

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 11:29 PM
The "Moment 4 Life" for the self-proclaimed Harajuku Barbie, Nicki Minaj, has arrived. The release of her debut album, Pink Friday has hit stores and is sure to cause mayhem in the music industry. It's no secret that almost everyone has mixed feelings about Nicki, whether its over her character, her kookiness, or her lyrical content. Truth is, the young lady is good at what she does, and since music is a form of expression I personally feel that she's entitled to present herself in whatever manner she feels appropriate for herself.

With all of that being said, I've listen to the album and will give her 4.5/5 eyes!
The lyrical content is there, the punchlines, the hooks, the versatility, the story, and the element of Rap and Hip-Hop. You can hear her growth and development now from the time of her mix-tapes days. If I had to pick one, my favorite track would have to be "Fly" featuring Rihanna. Other tracks that I can listen to over and over (not including those released as singles) are: "Here I Am", "Moment 4 Life" - I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn’t mean you’re alive...And this very moment I’m king, this very moment I slay Goliath with a sling. I wish that I could have this moment for life...'cause in this moment I just feel so alive. - and "I'm the Best". Other featuring on the album include Natasha Bedingfield, Kanye West, Drake and Will.I.Am. Overall, it is a good album that I could listen to from start to finish. Kudos to Nicki, her hater, supporters, and everyone involved in this project.

In the words of Rihanna in "Fly": I came to win, to fight, to conquer to thrive. I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise...To FLY! Listen to "Fly" now, happy listening!


Do you have the album? What are your thoughts? What do you think her first week sales will look like? COMMENT!

eyeWatch: "What's My Name"

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 10:51 PM
We all know her name, and though past events may have silenced her for a bit, but there's no doubt about it that Rihanna is back, and LOUD! Her new record is in stores now and she has been releasing videos left and right. One of my personal favorites off her fifth studio album is her collaboration with Drake, "What's My Name". The video is simple, fun, and reminded me of the Rihanna we met nearly 5 years ago. She was very likable and personable in showing the cute/laid-back side of a "relationship" and everything was easy, breezy and carefree. The styling in the video was great and the NYC Central Park vibe just added to everything else you needed in the video. The song was produced by StarGate and the video was directed by Philip Andelman. We have the brand new video for your enjoyment, so enjoy it! Happy watching.

New Videos from Rihanna, Travie, & Chris

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 10:30 AM
Today's new videos come from Rihanna, Travie McCoy and Chris Brown. Chris' "Yeah 3x" has been playing in heavy rotation and the video was highly anticipated. Travies music video for "Need You" off his album, Lazarus has a Chinatown influence on it, and the song is lovable. The official video for Rihanna's second single "Who's That Chick" from her forthcoming LOUD (due out November 12th) is here! The video features both "Day" and "Night" elements and has been used for a Doritos campaign and shows off the edgy and pop Rihanna. This video follows the recent release of her video for "Only Girl (In the World)" video. Last but not least, Chris Brown's release of his video which has a great energy and couldn't be without his signature dance moves. Happy watching!

HAiR WaRS: Trina vs. Rihanna

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 6:41 PM
Hats off for our first edition of Hair Wars!

Trina vs. Rihanna

We've had Rihanna's red head debut featured in our Haute or Hate It series, but now it looks like Trina's trying it too. Will this red hair be a fad, or will more celebrities catch the fever? Let's remember who really came in the game with the colored hair: Keyshia Cole, Charlie Baltimore, and Eve. I guess it's just "fashion" repeating itself as usual. Time to vote on who wins...

VMA 2010 Commentary

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 8:46 PM
From the pre-show to the big opening act. It's what is talked about every year on the second week of September, the MTV Video Music Awards. Here's ♥ t i f f a n y's dish on what's going down from the White Carpet, to the stage.

Nicki Minaj was the topic most talked about as her haters, "Barbz" & "Kens" anticipated her performance during the VMA pre-show. If you saw it, you may have been just as confused as I was from Nicki's Judy Jetson look, to Will.i.Am's black face - literally. Another woman who is always talked about - Lady Gaga took home two VMAs before the show even started. But of course, what was talked about even more than her winnings was, her outfit. She wore an Alexander McQueen gown from his last collection and looked as normal as she has ever been.

The show opened up with Eminem & Rihanna and what I have to say about that is, the set of the show looked wonderful. Don't get me wrong, I love their music, but the performance wasn't anything to talk about, besides Rihanna's red hair; which we showed you in our last Haute or Hate It post. I'm excited to see how funny Chelsea Handler is...and this picture says it all (Chelsea as Lady Gaga). She was completely hilarious!!!

Kim Kardashian was introduced as a "fashion icon" which made me screw up my face; but she did look pretty. She introduced heartthrob, Justin Beiber. His performance was cool. He brought the young dancers out on stage and had the hair going as usual. He let us see him play the drums; which was excited as seeing someone play the drums. Needless to say, the kid has talent.


Usher performed "OMG", and for me it was a mix between J. Lo's "Waiting for Tonight" video and a B2K performance. There were plenty of LED lights/rays to go around, accompanied by some dancing. Will.i.Am was in the audience and the performance was alright. At this point I am waiting to be impressed...

Here's something to wake you up, Florence + The Machines! Although some were confused about who she was and why she was performing, I enjoyed it. She delivered the most interesting/best performance thus far. Amber Riley & the cast of "Glee" announced the Best Pop Video award. Amber looked fabulous! Lady Gaga took another award in her heavy gown that she couldn't even walk in, but she looked fab!

And kudos to Taylor Swift for making headlines again with her "diss record" performance to Kanye West. Too bad the performance was bad on the vocal end. But she looked nice and the visuals were on point.

Drake's performance with Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz is just what I needed! He looked sexy, yes, I'm talking about Drake LOL. His set was on point and he woke me up from the dreadful award show I've been watching for the past 90 minutes. Best performance goes to Drake thus far!

Columbian actress, Sofia Vergara announced the award for "Best Hip-Hop" video, in which Eminem took home. I'm not too sure if anyone understood what she was saying lol, but Eminem and Lady Gaga are racking up!

B.o.B., Bruno Mars, and Haley Williams ft. Paramore hit the stage next. Bruno sounded great (as usual), Haley looked dope, and Bobby Ray's energy was on point. A great performance! Paramore performed "Only Exception" and it was beautiful -definitely in my list of top performances! Singer, Robyn, had her 30 second spotlight (as did Travie McCoy & Jason Deluro) and I truly wished she would've gotten to do a full performance, she's so cool!

Justin Beiber won the award for Best New Artist. It just wasn't a winning night for Young Money! Welcome to MTV!

Linkin Park performed, but I wasn't feeling it too much. The lyrics were sang too harsh, and it didn't feel like the LP I knew from a few years back. They did their performance LA's Griffith Observatory.

And for the time almost everyone has been waiting for...Video of the Year (introduced by Cher - who had Lady Gaga in tears); went to...Lady Gaga for "Bad Romance". She definitely was the winner of the night!



And the 2nd most anticipated moment of the night, Kanye West's performance! K. West set off his performance with a white column, a beat machine, a mic, and a red suit (and red sneakers to match). Next he brought out the Clipse, ballerina dancers, and an autotune microphone. "Let's have a toast for the assh***s, have a toast for the jerkoffs, let's have a toast for the scumbags. Baby I got a plan, runaway as fast as you can." He left the audience chanting his name.

Overall, I'll rate the 2010 VMAs a 6.5/10. What did you think of the show? Who was your favorite performer? COMMENT!!!

Haute or Hate It: Little Red Rihanna

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 11:56 AM
If there's any celebrity talked about more for their hair and fashion sense, opposed to their actual talent, it's Rihanna! There's no doubt about it that her style is to be reckoned with, and that she can do just about anything to her hair or wardrobe and look fabulous. But we're not so sure about this one. We embraced the fiery red short hairdo, but what do you all think about this one? No too sure it's a few tracks put in, a wig, or what, but it's red, and it's longer than it was before. So, tell us how you feel about it. Haute or Hate It?!

The Cold War of Power & Lies

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 7:42 AM
New videos from Kanye, Eminem and Janelle Monae have dropped, and boy are they making a statement. Maco Brambilla, director of Kanye West's "Power" exclaimed in an interview with NY Mag’s Vulture, that this was a “video portrait”. It proves to be nothing less than that in it's 90 second course. It is art and definitely symbolic; a painting - and arguably, a masterpiece. Kanye's album is set to drop on October 12th. The official video for Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna off of his album Recovery has dropped and it is a movie! It features actors Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan, who couldn't be a better fit for the storyline. Last but not least, Janelle Monae's video "Cold War" hit and is simple and full of emotion. She's a ball of energy and that is depicted in this video directed by Wendy Morgan. Her album The Archandroid is in stores now. Happy watching!

Kanye West - Power

“It starts with a very tight shot introducing him that’s kind of a reinvention of a neoclassical painting. It pulls back from the shot, without any cuts, and we reveal the video canvas, populated by all these characters who are depicted in various stages of undress and decadence. The iconography comes from Roman iconography, Renaissance iconography, and it connects to the sexuality of the music as well. As we reveal the setting for it, there’s a feeling of a moment of transition for him. A fall from grace, if you will. It visualizes power, and him as the icon as power, and then at the end of the piece it challenges the power that I set up at the beginning. It’s an elliptical piece of storytelling."

California Gurls, Te Amo

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 12:51 PM
New video are being released like crazy & today we have two for you; which come from "best friends" Katy Perry & Rihanna. The California girl herself dropped
her oh-so-sweet video for her single "California Gurls" featuring Snoop Dogg. The single comes from her upcoming album Teenage Dream; which is due out in August. The high energy, lovable song doesn't disappoint as director, Mathew Cullen (of the creative group known as Motion Theory), sticks to a Candyland theme and will be craved by anyone with a sweet tooth. Katy isn't the only one who kissed a girl and liked it... Rihanna gets hot and steamy with her leading lady in the official music video for "Te Amo". This is yet another video released off of her recent album, Rated R, in stores now. Her video was directed by Anthony Mandler, and no different from her other videos, will be sure to have people talking! Parental discretion is always advised when watching a Rihanna or Lady Gaga video - disclaimer. Happy watching!

JuNK FOOD: Chris Banned From UK

Posted by KareemaBee at 2:27 AM

Nearly a year after the incident with Chris Brown, you would think the world would be over it right? Not so much, according to a clip in the Hollywood Reporter, Chris Brown had to delay his tour in the UK because the country denied him access due to his criminal record. Now, I know the brother was wrong, but dang he can’t even come into the country?! I wonder who ELSE they did that to. Hmm...what do you think?

Should Chris Brown be allowed to have his tour in the UK despite his past afflictions with Rihanna?

Drop a buzz.

Rihanna Rings Elle's Bell

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 1:26 PM
Slowly, but surely, Rihanna is creeping her way back into the limelight. On the cover of the July cover of one of the biggest fashion magazines in the industry, Elle, we'll have something else to look forward to. From her recently hair change to her "Rockstar 101" video, we can only wonder what is next for the superstar. And that would be her "Last Girl On Earth" tour with special guest, Ke$ha. In her interview, Rihanna talks fashion, relationships, and of course...Chris. Here's a snippet of the interview:

On her new beau, Matt Kemp: “I have a boyfriend. I’m so happy. I feel really comfortable, and it’s so easy. I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family.”


On designers she admires: “It’s clear there are definitely fewer black women in the high-fashion industry. One of the things I respected most about Gucci was that they did a print campaign with me. I’m a black girl on a fashion spread for Gucci—that was a big deal. I respect designers who aren’t afraid to go outside the box. I went to a Jean Paul Gaultier show, and I saw girls who are thicker than me, beautiful and voluptuous and different ethnicities. That made me so excited. I thought, Okay, I can work that, for sure.”

On the past year: “A year ago, I was very confused. Because [Chris Brown] was my best friend. All of a sudden, one night changed our whole lives—not only our friendship, but our lives. I wanted to wake up one day and just not have that pain anymore. I wanted to be with him again or get over him—it was either-or. I just didn’t want to feel the pain, the confusion.”

On turning her dream of popstardom into reality: “If I were in Barbados still, I would be dreaming about this. I asked for it, and I love it, so why am I complaining? My first day on tour, I remember saying ‘I’m so tired—this is so much.’ Then I thought, What the fuck? You asked for this—you prayed to God to tour like Madonna.”

You can find the July issue of Elle on newsstands Tuesday, June 15th. Also, check out footage from the behind-the-scences photoshoot with photographer, Tom Munro. Happy watching!

Eye'm a ROCKSTAR

Posted by DANiE at 9:42 PM
It's fair to say that the wait is over because shortly after releasing her video to "Rude Boy" Rihanna's back to drop newest video "Rockstar 101". I must say this video is very reminiscent of "On to the Next One" by Jay-Z. Both videos were shot in black and white, and they also incorporated symbolism and an air of darkness. I can admit that Rihanna definitely turns into a rockstar in this video. At one point, RiRi even turns into a four horned crawling beast, I'm not going to lie, I was a little scared and confused. Lastly, I noticed that Rihanna has gotten quite comfortable with "flipping the bird" to those watching her on the screen. Maybe this is her reminding everyone out there that she doesn't care. Well the wait is over and I bring you "Rockstar 101." Happy watching.



Has Rihanna been going too far or do you love her shock value? Now that you've seen it, shout out what you think in a COMMENT!

JuNK FOOD: Tour Up!

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 12:13 PM
: Barbie Bails from Tour with Rihanna



Have you heard about the Last Girl On Earth Tour featuring Rihanna, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj? If so, you can scratch Nicki off the list of performers. Nicki let her "Barbies" and "Kens" know by tweeting this yesterday:


Today, this information came out of the bag:


Allegedly Rihanna has been growing increasingly worried that her popularity is starting to fade. The insider explained, "No one [in Rihanna's camp] is panicking yet, but there is DEEP concern that Rihanna has peaked, and is on the downside of her music career."

Well when Rihanna learned that HOT AS FIRE new rapper Nicki Minaj was being included in her tour, she was FURIOUS!!! The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "Nicki [Minaj] was brought in to sell tickets, but Rihanna did NOT want her on." So the insider claimed that Rihanna, presumably fearing that she would be upstaged, used her influence to REDUCE Nicki's role in the tour. Nicki was reportedly going to be the opening act, and be limited in the number of songs she could perform.

Well Nicki's people weren't HAVING IT!!! A person close to Young Money told MediaTakeOut.com, "Nicki is not an opening act, and we would never put her out there like that"

But that's not it. According to our Young Money insider, Nicki ended up calling Rihanna DIRECTLY to ask whether she was behind all of the tour drama. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "I only heard one side of the conversation, but [there] were a lot of curse words thrown back and forth."

Give director Melina Matsoukas color, a green screen and Rihanna and you'll end up with with..."Rude Boy". This is the fourth single off of Rihanna's album Rated R, and RiRi went back to her island vibes on this one creating a steaming hot video! The song is hot, the colors and graphics - fantastic, oh...and as for the wardrobe...its fierce as usual! We spotted RiRi rocking the beloved Alexander McQueen and if you like her look in the video, you'll just love this post!

2010 Grammys Commentary + Winners

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 7:59 PM
One of the biggest nights in music took place last night, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and let's just say that it was Ladies' Night. The biggest winners of the night were Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and the leader of the pact, Beyoncé - who made history by being the first to win six Grammys in one night. Check out the elleELLEeye commentary by ♥ t i f f a n y & DANiE, our favorite performance and the full list of the 2010 Grammy winners!


I was totally surprised that Lady Gaga opened the show with Elton John (and Elijah Kelley, commentator of the performance from the hit movie Hairspray), but I must say she put on a performance. The show continued with a comedic slot by Stephen Colbert who won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album.

"Song of the Year" went to the well deserved hard-working woman of show business, Beyoncé! I'll admit that I was a little disappointed that Bey didn't perform something else (considering I watch all of her performances and "If I Were A Boy" is old to me), but she delivered regardless. Did anyone peep Keri Hilson with her dead down while she was performing though? No comment...no Grammy =x

Green Day's performance was excellent!

Goldilocks herself, Taylor Swift, graced the stage and sang a total of three songs. The first song, she sang solo and remaining two songs she performed with country legend Stevie Nicks. She sounded pretty good, very mellow and chill, but I was looking forward to rocking out with her - which didn't happen...booo!

The "3D" Tribute to Michael Jackson was performed by Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokie Robinson.
I didn't have 3D glasses! If you watched this tribute with them, please let me know how it looked! There's no denying the talent these artist possess. I cant believe Michael's gone, but it was a little heart wrenching to hear his voice on the track as the artists sang with it. The tribute was dope.

I had 3D glasses, and it made no difference! If you think about it, it shouldn't have worked because it's really us (the people at home) watching someone else watch a 3D movie. I thought that the tribute was a bit creepy and that they could have done something else. I'm sure Michael would be flattered and taken back being honored, but if I was the King of Pop I would have wanted to see something else. I give that performance a thumbs down.

Prince and Paris Jackson once again showed their courage and spoke to the thousands of people in place of their late father Michael Jackson. What did you think about their short speeches?

I thought that Prince is very well-spoken and I appreciated Paris' little thank you. They are some brave kids.

Best Rap Collab: Rihanna and Jay-Z, "Run This Town". Their appearance with Juelz (Beyoncé's nephew) was the best part. The dapper little boy wore his tux with a fresh pair of Nike Dunks! When Rihanna picked him up and asked him if he had anything to say, he politely smiled and said "No, thanks". HOW CUTE! I AGREE!

Wyclef Jean stepped to the stage and reminded everyone of how strong the Haitian people are. I thought that was important because the news does portray some of the saddest images. That's a good take on it. I thought he looked a little too happy, but I see what you mean.

Pink's performance wasn't much different from that of the one she gave at the MTV VMAs. She did the whole gymnast/acrobatic thing, and though some were amazed, I was bored and confused at the part where she was dips in water and started spinning in the air. I would've been mad if I got wet!

The most random part of the night for me was when I missed the introduction to a performance. What performance? Jamie Foxx and T-Pain's "Blame It" with Doug E. Fresh. I thought it was so funny! Jamie is crazy.

Round of applause to Lil' Wayne, Eminem, and Drake! They graced the staged together and did a good job. Drake is growing as a performer, I actually enjoyed watching him.

The biggest awards of the night, Album of the Year, went to the American Sweetheart, Taylor Swift. She beat out Beyoncé, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and the Dave Matthews Band. Honestly, I wanted the B.E.P. to win, but I think all of those nominated deserved it.

CLICK HERE FOR THE COMPLETE LIST OF WINNERS

And my favorite performance was...Black Eyed Peas (who won three awards) doing "Imma Be" and "I Gotta Feeling". Happy Watching!

Haitian-born rapper Wyclef Jean - who set up the charity foundation Yele Haiti - Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J Blige, Shakira and Sting will perform in New York.

Rihanna, meanwhile, will perform a cover version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song, which she has released to raise money for the people of Haiti. Film stars making appearances will include Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks and Will Smith.

George Clooney, who organised the event, told MTV: "It's a big world out there, and we all have a lot of responsibility to look out for people who can't look out for themselves." "So what we can do is first and foremost, raise money. Period. That'sit ... "If I thought we could all pick up shovels and go in there and help without being in the way, I think a lot of people would do that."

The live programme can be seen online via YouTube, MySpace, Hulu, Fancast, AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, Bing.com, BET.com, MTV.com, CNN.com, VH1.com and Rhapsody. The show will also be repeated in the UK at 0900 GMT on Saturday morning, on both MTV and its sister channel Viva. Meanwhile, Rod Stewart, Leona Lewis, JLS and Michael Buble have signed up to provide vocals for a Haiti charity single, organised by Simon Cowell.

They will record a cover of REM's ballad Everybody Hurts. Remember, you can help out too. Here's how - HELP HAITI.

If you happened to miss Rihanna on BET's 106 & Park, you missed a great performance! Rihanna did her thing on the 106 stage, and even though I've seen her "So Hard" performance more than once, she look great and put on a good performance as well. I love that Rihanna has a great style, but I love even more that she knows how to dress for the occasion. Check out her outfit and performance below!
