Posted: 29 Sep 2011 04:57 AM PDT

JoJo has revealed details about what we can expect from her new album and says that she is fed up of making music that is "polite" and "sugar-coats" life.

The singer has made a return to the music scene after a lenghty absence and shocked fans this summer when she dropped a saucy remix to Drake's 'Marvin's Room.' Listeners were shocked to hear that JoJo used expletives and sexual innuendos in the lyrics, and JoJo hints that there is more to come.

"I paid so much attention to the subject matter and making sure it was honest and nothing was sugar-coated and that it wasn't a polite record," she told Rap-Up. "I just wanted it to be real."

Revealing what we can expect from her next studio album, JoJo added: "In any type of record that I do, you're gonna hear my R&B influence, and definitely a soulful vocal delivery, but I really like to rock."

"Im just feeling a little angsty lately, so I really want to headbang and rock out."

T.I. has finally been released from the halfway house he was sent to following his release from prison two weeks ago.

According to a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, T.I. left the halfway house earlier this morning, heading back to his family home in Atlanta.

Now, Tip will remain on probation for a year while he resurrects his music career and other projects. However, before he gets back to work, he can look forward to a homecoming party next week which will apparently be hosted by P. Diddy.

Will T.I. stay out of jail?

L.A. Reid has decribed Kanye West as one of the "greatest performers of all time." 

The X Factor USA judge has discovered music legends such as Mariah Carey, Usher and Justin Bieber, however, he names Kanye as the greatest above all of them. Reid made the admission in an interview with Access Hollywood Live, saying: "Kanye West is, for me, one of the greatest - if not the greatest - performers, entertainers, musicians of all time. He's right up there with the greats."

Sticking by his opinion, Reid reveals the confidence he has in his artist, saying: "People may not recognise it today, but I promise you a few years from now, we'll look back and say, 'Oh my god - what an amazing, amazing talent!' Now, people love Kanye for sure, but he's great... on the level of Prince... but modern day."

"[West is] hip-hop, he's not the same thing [as Prince.] He doesn't play guitar, he doesn't play piano. He's not that kind of performer, but for hip-hop he is a king."

Do you agree with L.A.?

Lil Wayne: 'My Beef With Jay-Z Died A Long Time Ago'

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 03:47 AM PDT

Lil Wayne has shot down any talk that he has beef with Jay-Z saying "there are no problems."

The pair have been feuding for years, however, it is only recently that the two have expressed their dislike for each other vocally. Jigga dissed Weezy's close friend Birdman in a track on his collaborative album with Kanye West Watch The Throne. Upon hearing the diss and wanting to stick up for his friend, Weezy retaliated on I'm Good - a track that appears on his Tha Carter IV LP.

While most were intrigued by the war of words, Wayne addressed whether he expects a backlash for his comments. "Well, I'm a man. I believe as a man, you should know that. Every man should know the repurcussions and consequences behind whatever they do before they do it," he told Vibe magazine. 

"And of course, I know there won't be any repurcussions behind what I did."

Weezy then proceeded to dismiss any beef between he and Jigga, saying: "There are no problems. That s**t died a long time ago with them old-a** rappers. We are just making music, making money and having fun - feeding our families."

Do you believe the beef between Kanye and Jay-Z is over?

Tyrese Plays Down Radio Interview Alcohol Rant, Says Producers Were Unreasonable

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:06 AM PDT

Tyrese Gibson has played down the controversy surrounding his ejection from a radio interview yesterday, saying that the producers blew up for no real reason.

According to the actor, he was talking about his new album and single when he causally dropped into conversation that he saw a liquor store near a school. Giving his account of the incident to TMZ, Tyrese said: "So I'm talking about my album, talking about my video, whatever. Then I transition into saying: 'Hey man, before I go any further, I went to this school, boom boom boom. Alcohol was across the street.'"

"I was just addressing it and speaking about it while I was on the air. I went on and on and on about this because I really got a problem with it."

Tyrese then went on to explain how the radio personality took a commercial, during which he was "cursed at" by the producers of the show for allowing Tyrese to have his rant. He continues to explain to TMZ what happened when he got back, saying: "I was like, what's the problem? [The host said the producer's] he's got a problem with [me] talking about alcohol on the radio."

"I was like it's cool man, I'm almost done. Let me just go in and wrap this up and I'ma roll out. The man said, 'You can't go back on air, you've gotta leave.'"

Tyrese was then told to leave the building, after which he informed his followers on Twitter of the incident.

Amber Rose Apologises To Funk Master Flex For Calling Him An 'Ignorant A**hole'

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:53 AM PDT

Amber Rose has apologised to DJ Funk Master Flex for calling him an "ignorant a**hole" yesterday, saying that they should put their "beef" behind them.

The model shocked radio listeners yesterday when she appeared on Hot 97 and called Master Flex an "ignorant a**hole" and "dick" for judging her. She also branded him a fake for dissing celebrities behind their backs then inviting them onto his shows for interviews. 

Realising that her words were a little harsh and possibly unnecessary, Amber swiftly reached out to Flex to quash their beef. She wrote on her personal blog: "@funkmasterflex @ciphasounds said some great things about u I understand what your job is so I shouldn't have been so quick to judge u as a person."

She added: "I would love to come and speak to u face to face if we can sit down a have a rational conversation. Hopefully we can both apologize and get past our lil beef. Deal?"

Was Amber wrong to make those comments in the first place? Was she right to apologise?

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:37 AM PDT

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly splashed out on a new mansion costing $18million, in the Hamptons, New York.

The splurge comes just months after Jennifer announced her separation from husband Marc Anthony after seven years of marriage. According to People.com, Jennifer's new property sprawls across 2-acres and boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and panoramic water views. 

Jennifer's new Hamptons home was only built last year and was last valued at $17,999,999. Other selling-points of the luxury home include heated marble floors, walk-in closets and a pool. The singer spent time in the Hampton's this summer and even returned to the area with Marc a month after they split.

While some may find the house pricey, Jennifer can probably afford it having released her new album Love? this year and she also signed on for a second series of American Idol.

Kim Kardashian Criticised For 'Not Helping African-American Community'

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:22 AM PDT

Kim Kardashian has been criticised for not doing enough to "help the African-American community," despite having Armenian heritage.

The 30-year-old reality star made an appearance on new show H8R, where contestants are given the opportunity to face contestants they hate the most but their chosen celeb must try to win them over.

Kim was paired up with Deena who feels that the reality starlet does not do enough to contribute to the African-Amercian community. When Deena challenged her, Kim shot back: "You didn't hear about going to New Orleans, or building the homes or meeting this family. Or going to Africa - we're filming in Africa. This season I've been to Africa three times."

While Deena admits she is still "not a fan" of Kim, she does admit she was pleased to hear that she does give back to the community. "I was really surprised to hear about the work she's done in Africa and New Orleans. I was just shocked to know she's done some great things."

Do you think Deena was too harsh on Kim?
