Check out the first music video from the project.

Kreayshawn has shown she isn't afraid to mix it up with the big boys.

In a very short amount of time Oakland's newest rap representative has stirred up a lot of controversy.

Several weeks ago the 22-year old had a run-in at the MTV Video Music Awards with Officer Ricky, who was upset at being dissed by the White Girl Mob.

Kreayshawn has now set her sights on a new target.

She spoke to Complex about The Game dissing her in a freestyle titled "Uncle Otis." The red mohawk wearing rapper from Compton, who was reportedly recently knocked out by a member of the Bloods, said if Kreayshawn called him the n-word he would "put the AK' in her face.

"I wanna slap a grown-ass man in the face,” Kreayshawn said. "I’m going to say, ‘Game’s a weak ass Blood, he ain’t about to do sh*t.' Am I just supposed to get dissed every day and be a weak ass little white b*tch? F*ck that sh*t. I’m tired of people disrespecting me.”

50 Cent has landed a significant role in the upcoming movie Frozen Ground.

The movie is based on serial killer Robert Hansen aka the "Butcher Baker." Hansen kidnapped and raped at least 21 women before flying them out to a remote Alaskan location, where he would release, then hunt and kill them.

Initially it was announced that 50 would serve as one of the executive producers of the film, which is being produced by Emmett/Furla Films. Fif has also now landed a "substantial" role in the film as a pimp according to Emmett.

“The director thought that there was a great role for him and I gave him the script,” Emmett told the Anchorage Daily News.

“He’s basically moved a lot of tour dates and a bunch of stuff that he has on his calendar to be committed and up in Alaska."

Frozen Ground will also star John Cusack as Hansen. Vanessa Hudgens will play 17-year old would-be victim Cindy Paulson, who escaped from the killer. And Nicolas Cage is set to play the role of an Alaska State Trooper who tracks Hansen down with Paulson's help.

Shooting for the film starts October 10 in Anchorage with a $27 million budget.

Former Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger showed up on the Conan O'Brien show wearing a dress so tight she could barely sit down last night (September 19).

Conan tried his best to focus his attention on Nicole's face while she talked, but failed miserably.

"Conan, focus," Nicole said, gesturing for the talk show host to look up at her face, instead of her breasts.

"It's kinda hard! ... I'm sorry," Conan said "Good God let's be real here for a second. You didn't think I was gonna look down there?"

The rest of the time was spent talking about Nicole being a judge on American X-Factor and Simon Cowell's magical man boobs. Nicole also does a an impersonation of Britney Spears.

When the tracklist for Cole World: The Sideline Story was revealed, one of the tracks many people were anxious to hear the J. Cole collaboration with Missy Elliot.

Missy's been away from the game for a minute, but she still sounds great. Surprisingly, she only sings on the track, while Cole handle the rhyming duties capably.

September 27, Cole World: The Sideline story will be available everywhere.

Styles P stopped by the Cosmic Kev Come Up Show recently. While there he let loose a freestyle over Pudgee's classic "Think Big" beat, a track that also o featured Notorious B.I.G.

Next up for Styles is his mixtape The World's Most Hardest MC, followed by the album Master Of Ceremonies, which drops October 4.

Rihanna just might be the hardest working woman in the business. The singer is preparing to drop her sixth studio album since 2005.

The initial plan was to re-release Loud, but that idea was scratched in favor of an all new disc.

The first single from the project is titled "We Found Love." The song is produced by Calvin Harris, and is slated to hit the air waves October 11.

Riri's not-yet-titled new album is due before the end of the year.

Cooler heads may be prevailing in the Ray-J vs. Fabolous drama.

Ray-J went on a profanity laced rant yesterday (September 19) when he called into The Breakfast Club, to discuss an alleged physical altercation with Fabolous in Las Vegas.

Late last night Ray issued an apology to his fans via twitter for the outburst.

While the beef doesn't appear to be squashed just yet, hopefully this was a step in that direction.

(Reuters) - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, no stranger to attention-grabbing campaigns featuring nude women, plans to launch a pornography website in the name of animal rights.

The nonprofit organization, whose controversial campaigns draw criticism from women's rights groups, said it hopes to raise awareness of veganism through a mix of pornography and graphic footage of animal suffering.

"We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site," said Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns.

PETA has been accused of campaigning for animal rights at the cost of exploiting women. A Facebook group, Real Women Against PETA, was launched after the organization paid for a billboard showing an obese woman with the message: "Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber. Go Vegetarian."

Another critical Facebook group is called, " Vegans (and Vegetarians) Against PETA."

"PETA is extremely disingenuous," said Jennifer Pozner, executive director of the New York-based advocacy group Women In Media & News. "They have consistently used active sexism as their marketing strategy to garner attention. Their use of sexism has gotten more extreme and more degrading.

"This may be in their minds the only thing left at their disposal to lower the bar," she said.

PETA has filed paperwork to launch its pornography site when the controversial new .xxx domain becomes active in early December. While many nonprofits and corporations are scrambling to protect their website names from being hijacked by a pornographer slapping on a .xxx domain, PETA is embracing the new domain as just another way to conduct business.

"We try to use every outlet that we can to speak up for animals," Rajt said. "We anticipated that this new triple-X domain name would be a hot topic and we immediately decided to use it and take advantage of it to try to promote the animal rights message."

Jill Dolan, director of the program in gender and sexuality studies at Princeton University, was critical of the PETA campaigns.

"Exploiting porn to get people's juices going seems lame; exploiting pornographic images only of women to make their point is retrograde and misogynist," Dolan said in an email. "Come on, PETA. Don't be Neanderthals."

Rajt denied that PETA has been insensitive to women.

"Our demonstrators, the models, all chose to participate in our campaigns... It's not a very feminist thing to do to turn to women and tell them whether or not they can use their voices, their bodies to express their voice."

Visitors to the X-rated site will initially be presented with pornographic content as well as images from PETA's salacious ads and campaigns, Rajt said. Those images will be followed by pictures and video shot undercover of the mistreatment of animals. The site will also include links to vegetarian and vegan -- using no animal products -- starter kits as well as recipes.

PETA's ad campaigns have featured adult film stars Sasha Grey, Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson. In 2008, the organization's YouTube account was temporarily shut down after showing racy videos of celebrities and others posing nude.

"When people first visit the site, it will be very enticing and once they go just a little bit deeper, that's when they'll be confronted with images that we hope will make them stop and think and get them talking and hopefully encourage them to make a lifestyle change to a plant-based diet," Rajt said.

Musiq Soulchild delivers a powerful message in his new video for "Yes." A song dedicated to the fight against women's breast cancer.

In the video, which features real breast cancer survivors, Musiq stands by his girlfriend's side as she battles the disease, eventually marrying her.

The song appears on Musiq's latest album MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ.

The singer is also showing his commitment to the cause by becoming an official ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure Circle of Promise.

Atlantic Records recording artist Musiq Soulchild announced his new role as ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Circle of Promise, a movement designed to further engage black women around the globe in the fight against breast cancer. As an ambassador for the movement, Musiq will raise awareness about breast cancer so that younger women know the importance of early detection and why it’s important to pay attention to their bodies.

“Early detection is the key to winning the fight against breast cancer,” said Musiq. “Too often, black women are diagnosed in stage three and four when breast cancer is most difficult to treat. Some women are afraid to seek treatment for fear of losing their breasts or their hair. One’s physical appearance is much less important than the will to live. It’s time to remove the stigmas that are attached to this disease.”

To put his cause where his mouth is, Musiq Soulchild will feature a group of breast cancer survivors in his upcoming music video, “YES” from his sixth studio album, MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ. The video for the song will feature Musiq as a man who loves and supports his girlfriend through her battle with breast cancer. There will be a special scene in the video that will feature a group of breast cancer survivors who show their support by wearing t-shirts, pins, and pink ribbons—items associated with Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

Musiq Soulchild will also work with Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Circle of Promise to create awareness through social media outreach, television and radio appearances, as well as lend his talents for a fundraiser in October during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“We couldn’t ask for a greater level of commitment from someone who has such a strong connection to the target audience,” said Katrina McGhee, Executive Vice President & CMO. “We are certain Musiq will both transform and save lives through his ambassadorship of this program.”

Musiq said this cause is so dear to him, because his largely female fan base has been so instrumental in his success. “I care because they are at risk. They have always supported me and it’s time that I return the favor and support them. I feel the need to make an impact before breast cancer impacts them and if my music can be the vehicle, then I am happy to serve.”

"I still don't really give a f*ck about much," Kudi says. "You gotta be able to focus on the things that matter 'cause if you don't you start to get a little crazy. I know people are standoff-ish about this rock project, but we know what we're doing. We're definitely not going to let anybody down because we're sitting there hour after hour perfecting it."

Jennifer Lopez has men falling all over themselves trying to get her attention in the video for "Papi."

The Paul Hunter directed clip is the third single from J-Lo's latest album Love?

Prodigy and Havoc are about to step back onto the music scene for the first time as a group in five years. The duo are set to release an EP on November 26.

"We have an EP coming on Black Friday,” Havoc told XXL. “We didn’t come up with a title yet, but we’ll have a title that will mean something. It will be like seven or eight songs. I did like three. We have some produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Alchemist and this kid named Young Free.”

Mobb Deep's last album was 2006's 'Blood Money.'

The group recently inked a deal with Sony Red to distribute for their Infamous Records imprint. The EP will be the first project.

"The EP is done. It sounds good, seven or eight songs. Some real hip-hop sh*t, some real substance," Havoc said.

Jay-Z and Beyonce are sparing no expense when it comes to their unborn bundle of joy.

The couple has already spent a cool million bucks making sure B and the baby are getting the best of care.

“Beyoncé’s waited a long time to have a baby and she’s determined to take good care of herself,” a source told DailyStab. “She’s paying a dietician to organize a food plan of natural organic meals for her, she’s having daily massages and she’s spent a fortune on lotions to prevent stretchmarks and keep her feeling good. Beyoncé’s been told to look after herself like never before and Jay-Z’s making sure she has everything she needs.”

Money isn't an issue for the power couple, who are estimated to be worth nearly a billion dollars. So a few million spent to insure the health of their future offspring is small change.
