LMAO, these videos never fail to make laugh. And on that note, I'm done for tonight. You folks have a good night!

I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure. But now I find, I can't stop wanting. I want to surprise myself. I want to lose and get over it. I want to define myself, instead of others defining me. I want to win. I want to be the best person I can be. I want to not be afraid of the unknown. It's not that I think I I'm going to get all these things, I just want the possibility of getting them; the possibility that things are going to change.

The 32-year-old singer-guitarist admits he prefers Continuum to his 2009 disc Battle Studies (”I know that I’m supposed to say that my newest is the best one. Bullshit,” he says), that he hasn’t stopped thinking about his split with ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston (”I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life”) and that his sex life has become an endless loop of new girls rejecting him in clubs (”Blowing me off is the new sucking me off!”).

Grab the new issue for Mayer’s full advice for Tiger Woods (”I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life”) and more on his journey from bedroom guitar player to the most angst-ridden playboy in rock.

Sounds like it's worth the read. As for the photoshoot, I like the cover, surprisingly so. I also like all the black & white photos; not really diggin' the color ones. You can watch a video of the shoot here.

This video is a few months old, but I know a lot of people haven't seen it. T-Boz talks about how TLC held Clive Davis at gunpoint because he had allegedly not paid them "their" money. It's crazy how you can generate so much money, having had one of the biggest selling R&B albums of all time, and still be broke.

Beautiful.

Unf, enough said.

Hey, who knows? Maybe he really is straight. Yea right. How you doing?

I'm baaaaaaaaack! ;)

How is everybody doing?! I'm great! So much stuff I have to tell you guys! First off, the reason I haven't updated in over a month is because I was vacationing in the Dominican Republic (my home country) and I just needed to get away from EVERYTHING. Oh, and before I say anything else, I want to say that my heart goes out to all the folks out in Haiti who experienced the quake. I was in the Dominican Republic when the earthquake hit, and we definitely felt it and THANK GOD that we were spared. The entire island is in a state of paranoia and panic, scared that another quake will happen at any given moment. Man, if there's anything I've learned these last couple of weeks is to be GRATEFUL. Life is too short, you never know when it's your time to go, so live everyday like it's your last. And it's not even about yourself... your parents, your friends, your brothers and sisters... they can be gone in any given moment. Appreciate the time you have with them NOW. Life is way too short. :(

Anyhow, it felt so good to just lay on the beach for days at a time, sippin' on some Brugal or some Margaritas. Unfortunately, it's back to reality now, I'm back in NJ, back at school, grinding my senior year out. Over the one month hiatus, I've thought a lot about this blog. I'm considering moving over to Wordpress.org, but I still don't know about all that. It seems like folks aren't really into the whole Livejournal thingy majig anymore, so I'm considering some alternatives. Nonetheless, I'm back, so expect new shit, new interviews (seriously) and exclusives, so let's get this shit popping! Thanks for sticking with me for these past two-three years, I really appreciate it! Don't mind leaving some comments/suggestions/views below! Let's do this!

I love this woman. Hottest chick in the game right now, without a doubt. I have to admit though, I haven't been listening to her album that much since Rihanna's Rated R has been occupying all of my listening time (yes, I love her album THAT much). I'm going to give The Fame: Monster a couple of more listens this weekend before I make my final judgment. According to Ms. Gaga, she's going to released another three or four singles off the album, so if 2009 was any indication, get ready for Gaga in 2010 because she's going in!

Uh oh, it's about to get ugly. Click here to see what I'm talking about.

And the girls have already responded:

Tiffany Evans:

Ever statements I made about the industry was not geared towards Rihanna in any type of way. What I said about RussianR was blown way out &

I have never said any of the things these blogsites have said that I said such as her being a devil worskshipper,RR being satanic and all of

The other nonsense,that came along with it.So being a human I would be offended if someone had said those things about me,especially if it's

Not true.Even though some of you may take me as a kid...I am not and I do not participate in childish things.Everyone around me knows that.

So to Rihanna as young woman with total respect I apologize for the huge misunderstanding.

In this industry thing are always misunderstood or taken way out of context. So relax,this type of "ish" always happens.

Oh one more thing, about her calling me out with remote thing on Big Boi. LOL I thought it was funny. Too bad I can SANG! Lmao.

Who the hell is Tiffany Evans? That Promise Ring chick? Word.

Tila Tequila:

Well, Well, Well, What do we have here today? Wow!!!!!

So I woke up early this morning because I have to get ready to pack to catch an early flight out of town , and I get a google alert with my name with Rihanna! So of course, I was interested on what the hell would Rihanna have to say about ME??? ME?? Really Rihanna?? Ok...but anyway before I actually read what she had to say about me, my first reaction was,

"Awww how cool! Rihanna is talking about me! She must be talking about how more women who have been in Domestic Violence cases should really support one another!"

I only thought she might have said something like that because recently TMZ asked me about Rihanna and I said that I have nothing against her but that it would send out a nice message if she could speak out about her case and give other victims more hope & feel like they are not alone. I said that in a good intention....but ANYWAYYYYY......I was wrong. Rihanna acutally said the total opposite! Sooooo in that case, You guys know me well by now, and you KNOW, that once somebody s with me of gets on my shitlist, You will NOT be hearing the end of me! TRUST!

Rihanna did an interview at a huge LA local radio station, Big Boy and the Morning Show, and had this to say about me (I tried to embed the MP3 Player here but It wasn't working so here is link to it:

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO RIHANNA ON RADIO TALKING SHIT ABOUT ME!

SO after I listed to Rihanna bad mouthing me, my first reaction was "WOW! WHAT A BITCH! AND A TOTAL LIAR! WOWWWW!"

But this is not the reason for me blogging about her. I'm not upset that she would give me some free press talking about me on the radio, so thanks RiRi for shouting me out! =)

No, the reason I am GOING INNNNN on her and about to tell the world her DIRTY LITTLE SECRET(told from sources close to Rihanna's camp), is because she knows there's been a lot of controversy about me being "Allergic to Alcohol" but at this point, who the cares! SO here we go.

TILA TEQUILA GOES INNNNNNNN ON RIHANNA!

RiRi....babygirl....First of all, I have NEVER been to ANY AMA Award show....so why are you lying about that? However, I DO remember seeing you at the MTV MUSIC AWARDS, so maybe that's the one you were talking about, but who knows, you probably don't remember because you're so full of yourself and always drunk so I don't blame u for getting confused.

Second of all, you said that you saw me backstage with a drink in my hand? Wow, Im shocked! Cuz from what I can recall, you were so busy being a DIVA backstage and being SO RUDE TO EVERYONE, with your 10 people entourage and Security guards, having people run back and fourth driving them mad, with all your diva and rude behavior! Acting as though you were the biggest star at the MTV MUSIC AWARDS! And as for me? Yes, of course I am no where near you as far as musical Success, and I give u Props for that. I even liked a few of your songs like "Disturbia" and thought your live performance was pretty sexy, even though you sing REALLY OFF KEY when u sing live, but at least you're not lip-singing! Props for that! So back to what I was saying, U said u saw me backstage with a drink in my hand? First of all, how do u know it wasn't just a coca cola?? Majority of my fans KNOW, that I LOVE grape soda, coca cola, and sunkist sodas. So yes, I had I drink in my hand and it was a coca cola. But WTF does that have to do with you?? U were so busy backstage being such a diva, one of your security guards almost pushed me and my manager over just cuz you were walking by! WOW!!!!!!! RUDE! & who are you to condemn anyone for drinking when ur drunk ass is out everynight wasted. Such as these photos, some of thousands of you drunk....but do u see me ever making remarks about u being wasted before? NOPE! So whatever ...

So here comes the good part. You want to get on my shitlist? Well congrats hunny, you have officially made it on my shitlist & this is what close sources has told me:

HIDDEN SECRETS REVEALED FROM INSIDE SOURCES: RIHANNA HAS HERPES!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGG!

Wow, I'm sorry girlfriend, but you were cool until u decided to open up your mouth about me so I have no choice. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows, you just do not with Tila Tequila and think you can get away with it! Even Perez Hilton knows that(that's another inside story I have about him & myself, but I will post about that in another blog).

So everyone, yes.....I heard from legit sources, that is the HUGE SECRET our prestine, perfect little Princess RiRi, the "IDOL" has been hiding from the media. A very close source of mine, who works in the same legal camp as Rihanna, has told me that the reason why Rihanna wasn't speaking out about the CHRIS BROWN incident is because there was a catch 22 in it. Rihanna has herpes, and....well......I don't wanna put anyone else on blast, but Rihanna has herpes and gave someone else herpes that she had slept with.

My sources are very legit, and they work in Rihanna's legal camp, and that is how I know! SO RIHANNA HAS HERPES, STD'S & WAS SCARED TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT CUZ SHE DIDN'T WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT SHE HAS HERPES AND INFECTED SOMEONE ELSE WITH IT! BAD RIHANNA!

So while you cascade around town, acting like yo shit don't stink, and leading the media and your fans into thinking that you are a strong woman, and idol, well....it's a shame you had to trick them into thinking you are, because truth is, you're ruining other people's lives, infecting people with your STD's, and walking around getting praised and loving the sympathy, when really, in real life you are just a major who could give 2 shits about your fans and all the people who have been supporting you! Including myself! You dont even acknowledge your fans, you know, the people who got you famous??? Yes....those people. THE FANS! The ones that I, myself, acknowledge 247 all the time because if it weren't for my fans, I would not be here today! I love my fans, I don't lie to my fans to make them like me more, and everyone knows it. I have my flaws, but I put it out there, and I let my fans decide on whether they agree with the things I do or not. Im real, and I don't care what anyone has to say about me. All I do is mind my own business, and play with my fans.

But since you're still cascading around town like you're a prefect little princess, angel.....honey I hate to burst your bubbles.....but yes....yo shit really do stink, and even worse.....yo shit has STD's, known as HERPES, down in your private area.

So.....that's about it. Sorry I had to tell the world your DIRTY SECRET, but you left me no choice girlfriend. I knew about your secret for A VERY LONG TIME, but I never told anyone because that was not my business......but since you wanna play dirty with me......oh....you best believe I will give it to you good girlfriend! POW!

Rihanna has STD's and Herpes everyone! & that is the truth from my legit source that has told me. YIKES! So boys, be careful when u wanna tap that ass, cuz that ass will give your dick Herpes if you dont put 3 condoms over it! EWWW!

THE END!

Sincerely,

Ms. Tila-You-Don't-Fuck-With-Me-Tequila

PS-yes, I understand you have a MASSIVELY powerful team behind you such as JAY-Z and all those guys so you feel safe & keep cascading around town knowing that everything wrong you do, will be covered up. I give u props for having such a great PR FIRM. U see? This sucks that I had to call you out cuz now Jay-Z, Kanye, Beyonce or whoever else is on your team is gonna hate me, and that sucks cuz I LOVEEEEE Jay-Z and Beyonce! They are my heros! But I am willing to sacrifice them hating me now because of what you did. I need to be honest and stay true to who I am, and stay real with my fans.

Whoa, too long to read. My question is, is it that serious?



Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you have to be ready for the consequences when you say things that might offend somebody. I personally don't see anything wrong with what Rihanna said. Tila and Tiffany have been talking crap about her, and she felt the need to address it. Most of us would've done the same shit or worse. The only problem is that the girls are D-List celebrities and she probably would've been better off not even entertaining the argument. A simple "Tiffany who?" would've been more effective. But hey, who am I to say how you should respond to someone talking crap about you. Do you girl.

New York lawmakers rejected a bill Wednesday that would have made their state the sixth to allow gay marriage, disheartening advocates already stung by a similar decision by Maine voters just last month.

The New York measure failed by a wider margin than expected, falling 12 votes short in a 24-38 decision by the state Senate. The Assembly had earlier approved the bill, and Gov. David Paterson, perhaps the bill's strongest advocate, had pledged to sign it... [x]

SMH. We shouldn't even be having this debate at this day & age. It's a damn shame that in 2009 we are still fighting to have the same rights as everyone else. *sighs* I guess this is just another obstacle that we shall soon overcome. I hope that in my lifetime, I get to see equality for all in the United States of America.

Say what you want, but I'm in love with this woman. Yea, she's not the best singer (or dancer or performer, for that matter) in the world but she creates great music & is intriguing enough to make me like her. I am in love with her new album Rated R. The girl is stepping it up, little by little. The interview is cute & I love her sense of humor. Though I must say, I don't think she was completely honest when she said she doesn't like girls, though she "entertains them." Hehe.

This song has been in heavy rotation for a few months now and I just knew it was going to be a single from the moment I first listened to it. The video is your typical Aventura video (pretty girl, silly love story plot & random scenes of the group dancing) with a little twist. The song should be another huge hit for them as it follows in the footsteps of some of their previous smash singles.

Russian Roulette



I know I'm a little late but who cares. Rihanna has released the highly anticipated video for Russian Roulette, and boy oh boy is it good! While the actual plot is up for interpretation, the visuals, setting & mood of the video are extremely dark & almost psychotic, and though I was left a bit confused upon watching the video, I was definitely intrigued. The song is stellar. The video is fantastic. Yes, we've seen Rihanna do the whole dark & twisted videos before (Disturbia, Run This Town) but she does it so damn good and convincing each and every single time. Anthony Mandler (the director) and Rihanna have an excellent working relationship, which is evident by the great quality of videos they've made.

Wait Your Turn



In this industry there are people who can saaaang and then there are those who can't. Many would say falls somewhere in the middle. But at the end of the day, whether you can sing, sang or not, what separates you from the rest is how good of an artist you are, and how well you can work with what you got. Some of the most "talented" artists of our time aren't vocally talented. Yet, they managed to stay relevant and sell one multi-platinum record after another due to their rare ability to reinvent themselves, take risks and remain interesting to the public. I think Rihanna has that ability and if she plays her cards right, she will be well on her way to reaching the level of superstardom that so many artists work so hard for, but never achieve.

Rihanna's new album has leaked, and based on the reviews I've read so far, she has taken a huge risk by taking a completely different direction from the mainstream-friendly, dance-heavy pop songs featured on Good Girl Gone Bad to this new dark, angry & depressive sound. And judging by the way things are looking, this new direction is about to pay off.

Apparently today everyone & their momma is releasing a new video. The latest is from Alicia Keys and let me just say that this is my current anthem. I play this freakin' song EVERY SINGLE DAY. Geez. It's been a while since I've heard a song that I've connected with on some emotional level. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw that the video had finally premiered?! Err.

Why, oh why, must you release these shitty ass videos? Whatever happened to videos like Fallin and If I Ain't Got U? Can someone explain to me the concept of this video? She walks down the street, revives a dog, rides a purple-laser-shooting motorcycle, flies to the roof of some building (looking quite stunning, I must add), flies back down, touches some guy's face and then rides away on her motorcycle; the end. This is the second lackluster video in a row Alicia. Another one & I'm out.

The video won't embed, so click [here] to watch it.

This has got to be one of her worst videos ever. The only thing I liked about the video was the choreography, the dancing and how beautiful she looked. Other than that, it doesn't looked like she had much of a budget to shoot the video. Lil Wayne's appearance wasn't needed and I really don't know how I feel about this song, as it sounds more like something off of Nelly Furtado's Loose than anything on Shakira's long and diverse catalog. If She Wolf didn't achieve the level of success it was supposed to achieve, then I don't think Give It Up To Me has any chance in hell.

Check out Shakira's international second single, Did It Again, which is a much better song and has an excellent video.

Finally! Finally Beyonce. You have delivered a high quality video, up there with some of your best. Yes, I like it THAT much. Part of it feels like Check on It Part Deux, while the other half evidently pays tribute to the Kill Bill films. Whatever the case may be, I think the video is great. I know that opinions, especially when it comes to Beyonce, vary tremendously. Some said that Single Ladies was one of Beyonce's worst videos ever & look at the phenomenon it became. This video (which was directed by Hype Williams by the way) should help the single achieve some moderate level of success, at the least. Lady Gaga's appearance is cute but that's all it is. I don't really see the purpose of her being in the video (or song for that matter)other than to garner a lot of publicity for this A star collabo. I'm interested to see what Lady Gaga's video for Telephone (her next single) is going to be like as Beyonce is going to be playing in HER field.

Not much else to say. The video is hot. The song is a banger. The song/video's vibe takes me back to the B'Day era, when I used to jam to the likes of Kitty Kat and Get Me Bodied. If all goes well, this song will follow their footsteps and become another one of Beyonce's many, many, anthems. Uh uhhhhhhh...

The day has arrived. Well not quite, the video hasn't premiered yet, but the songs have! I have not only one, but TWO new leaked Beyonce & Lady Gaga collaborations that are going to be tearing up the charts in a few weeks. I am LOVING the Video Phone Remix, and judging by the (new) breaks in the song, the video is going to be EPIC. As for Telephone, I can see why they're going with this as the next single for Lady Gaga's upcoming re-release of The Fame. Complete and total hotness; the industry's two biggest divas unite for total and utter epicness. Shit.

Brilliant. The fashion in this video is impeccable & the dancing is so weird it's intriguing. Man, this woman is unstoppable. All of her videos have been on point, her singles have all gone top five and her album is great and the re-release is shaping up to be even better. I'm hooked on Gaga right now, the woman is on fire! The video is hot! And while Paparazzi is still my favorite Lady Gaga video, this isn't too far behind. Job well done to Lady Gaga and the director, Francis Lawrence. Lady Gaga is delivering some of the best videos I have seen in years. Brilliant.

The photo was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth. Fierce!
