T.I. recently talked about first-week sales and when asked what he thinks Drake’s Thank Me Later album will do, TIP said over 500 thousand. “I’m confident in my man,” T.I. said about Drake’s first-week. “I think if 500 [thousand] was the over, under, I would take the over. Given his potential and his presence, I would. I think that’s safe, that’s a safe bet. He hasn’t put out a dud yet. He hasn’t put out a dud, not even as a feature, so I think that warrants about a half [a million].”

In a piece for The NY Times, Drake talks his upbringing, how a destructive relationship spawned the singing on So Far Gone as well as his brief relationship with Rihanna:
On So Far Gone he sought to cultivate multiple audiences at once: in addition to straight-ahead rap songs, he also rapped over instrumentals from indie acts like Santigold, Lykke Li and Peter Bjorn & John. “That was supposed to be the wild and crazy project we did to get that out of our system before we put out a really generic rap album,” said Oliver el-Khatib, Drake’s longtime friend and de facto creative consultant.
Most notably, he sang — some songs in their entirety. In part that was a response to heartbreak: he’d been trying to shake loose of a destructive relationship with a manipulative woman who had taunted him with the fact that she had previously been involved with a famous rap star. The wounded R&B songs are about her. “I don’t even know if I wrote a rap song in that whole nine months,” Drake said, “because I wasn’t a rapper anymore. I didn’t believe in myself. I was someone else’s property.”
On “Fireworks” there’s a verse about Rihanna, who asked him last year to write a song for her new album; the two soon began seeing each other regularly, though they never publicly confirmed their brief relationship. “I was a pawn,” Drake said. The song he wrote for her never got released. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear,” he said. “I was like, wow, this feels terrible.”

Lindsay Lohan can't pay a studio to put her in an A-list movie. She's on probation for drunk driving and has to wear a Scram Monitor on her ankle to notify her judge is she gets drunk or high.
So all that's left is her looks. Is she still hot or has she lost all smashability over the last couple of years as she's drank, snorted, fallen and busted her ass all over Hollywood?

While on a promo tour for his album 'Last Train To Paris', Diddy reflected on his career a bit.
There have a a lot of great times for the businessman/manager/rapper, but to this day one decision still haunts him.
"Probably the only regret that does haunt me was the night that Biggie got killed. ... He was supposed to go to London for a promo tour, and he had talked me into letting him stay in L.A," Diddy said.
Although there have been a lot of theories and possible suspects surrounding Big's 1997 shooting death, it still remains unsolved.

Houston rapper Chamillionaire did something I can't ever remember an artist doing before. He admitted he stole the idea for the biggest hit in his career, "Ridin Dirty" from UGK.
UGK dropped the classic album 'Ridin Dirty' back in 1996. It was an instant southern classic and if you haven't copped it you need to do that ASAP.
Cham explains how he took UGK's idea and made millions off of it with his 2005 song "Ridin Dirty." He reveals that when Pimp-C got out of prison he gave the mc a new car as a token of his appreciation.
"When Pimp-C died I bought the car back from his family. You now why I bought it? Because I wanted to do something for his family," Cham explains. "I Feel like Pimp-C up in heaven looking down and that's what he would have wanted. Everybody screaming 'Pimp-C this, Pimp-C that'. To my knowledge Bun-B is the only one that I actually know that went above and beyond for Pimp."
Fast forward to 2010, it's been three years since Cham's last album 'Ultimate Victory'. Label Drama with Universal has been the biggest hold up in getting the project out to the fans according to Cham.
Cham got sued left and right for his first album 'Sound Of Revenge' because Universal threw him under the bus and didn't handle their business.
The mc says at one point the label wanted him to do a song with a chick from 'Gossip Girl' which he declined because he wanted to remain authentic.
"In this industry you're gonna have to deal with a lot of nonsense. You're gonna have to deal with people that are not attached to music at all telling you how to make the record."
All in all Cham says 'Venom' is coming out sometime soon.

The 2010 BET Awards promises to be a star studded event.
Possibly the most anticipated performance will come from Kanye West. The Louis Vuitton Don has kept a very low profile after his infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards stunt. Where he snatched the mic out of Taylor Swift's hand and ranted about Beyonce deserving the award for Best Female Video.
Ye' Uttered the now famous line "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," then vanished with then girlfriend Amber Rose and his bottle of Henny.
But with the release of his new positively received single "Power" and a new album on the way, Yeezy is ready to make a comeback.
BET released a statement saying in part “While West received much backlash and criticism following the VMAs, BET decided to give the multifaceted performer a spot in music history during its 10 year anniversary special.”
Other performers on the show will include Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj, Diddy and Dirty Money as well as T.I.
Singer John Legend will receive The Humanitarian Award.
The show will take place at 8pm, June 27.

It's been a long time time coming. The reunion of Eminem and Royce Da 5'9 is something hip hop fans have longed for. Now that it's finally happening even Royce is still amazed by Em after all these years.
He told MTV: "I think it's phenomenal how [Eminem manager] Paul [Rosenberg] can be around us joking one minute, and then the next second, he's on the phone handling business and dealing with point people. It's so tight. I peep the way they do things, the way Em knocks sh-- out without complaining. It teaches me a lot. It's like being a fly on the wall. You about to be a part of something special. I truly feel that Em is about to go on a crazy run. The album is phenomenal. I see a pattern, and I'm glad to be a part of it."
The dynamic duo just got back from overseas where they appeared on the Tim Westwood show along with Kon Artist aka Mr Porter & super producer The Alchemist.
Royce elaborated on the idea behind doing the eight minute freestyle.
"You know what's crazy? Denaun [Mr Porter] was like, 'We should just do two verses. The three verses is going to be too long,' " Royce said. "Em was the one pushing for three verses. He was like, 'Let's do three verses.' I'm like, 'Damn, he must really wanna get these off.' When I heard them, I knew why he wanted to spit them. When we did it, it was fun. It took us back. When we got on the jet going back, we was talking the whole way about that sh--. That sh-- reminded me of back in the day when we used to go in. Me and Em got an 11-minute freestyle on Stretch Armstrong's show 10 years ago. It took us back to that. It was like we was kids again. It was fun."
Since touching back down in Detroit, Royce has been promoting his new mixtape with DJ Whoo Kid titled 'Bar Exam 3'. The tape mixes real hip hop with a couple of comedy classics like a parody of "Chocolate Rain" titled "Spark Yo Brain" and the hilarious "I Hate Your Pants" where Royce goes in on the skinny jeans fad.
The tape has features from Black Milk, Elzhi, Kid Vishis & soon to be Shady Records artists Slaughterhouse.
Lil Wayne has huge aspirations for Young Money franchise player Drake. But hey, you don't become as big a superstar as Wayne is by thinking small.
In footage from DJ Scoob Doo's upcoming "Nino Brown Story, Pt. 3" DVD, Weezy calls Mack Maine from prison, and they talk about the sales of Drake's upcoming Thank Me Later. Wayne hadn't heard the completed LP before he went to prison in March.
"What that boy's sh-- sounding like?" Wayne asks Mack. "A million in a week?"
"Yeah. Like a classic. Big money," Mack answers.
"A million in a week? I need him to do more than Tha Carter III," Weezy adds of his breakthrough album, which sold more than 1 million copies in its debut week. "Like 2 million in the first week. I need him to do 2 million the first week, straight up."
"Let's get it. Ya heard me," Mack answers with a smile. "We gotta put this out."
Wayne then goes back to asking his nearly lifelong friend about the music on Thank Me Later.
"What's it sounding like? He singing his ass off?" the YM CEO asks.
"That n---a got some songs," Mack says with excitement. "One of them he let me hear, 'Karaoke.' It was some singing, I was like, 'When your part come in?' Picture that was him the whole time. I'm like, 'Who this n---a? When your verse come in?' That n---a got different tones now, blood. He's got different tones now. Sh-- we ain't never heard before. He's killing it."
Wayne later tells Mack that his own Tha Carter IV is going to be another major project and that he wants Thank Me Later to sell 10 million copies overall.
"I need [Drake] to do diamond," Wayne says. "And I try to top that. I need him to do that. He's gonna sell."
While in prison, Wayne is already thinking about his first performance when he comes home. "Come straight offstage with the [state] greens on and just go stupid on them," Wayne says of what he's going to do. "I should do it the same night I get out."

The Broad Street Bully is about to invade the airwaves again and he's ready to wave that G-Unit flag.

Britney Spears former top bodyguard just can't handle her sexual advances and nudity anymore.
Ex police officer Fernando Flores claims the singer has been sexually harassing him by walking around in front of him naked and asking him to come into her bedroom according to The Sun.
A source told The Sun "She was always giving him the come on and he felt if he didn't reciprocate he could lose his job. He finally handed in his notice last week and is considering legal action."
"Working for Britney is tough. She's a nightmare to deal with and her emotions are totally out of control," the source added. "She runs round the house naked and yelling at staff."
Britney's dad Jamie has added to the undesirable work environment by insisting his 28 year old daughter not be allowed to leave the house without a bra. Recently Britney was seen leaving a Hollywood restaurant without panties which set Jamie off.
Jamie holds the bodyguards responsible for Britney's actions.
The source says: "It was embarrassing to tell her to put on underwear. Some guys would do it but others were too ashamed."
Jamie might need to lighten up a bit. Yes he is the currently the executor Britney's estate until she can prove she is of sound mind and body again, but damn she's a grown woman.
As for Fernando the shy cop, I can think of far worse jobs.

Kanye West didn't let an incident involving his stolen black Porsche Panamera stop him from performing three free concerts for Chicago Area Schools.
West's car was stolen by three unknown males in Hawaii on Saturday June 5. The thieves lost control of the vehicle and crashed it into the side of a vacant Honolulu home. The crash totaled the car and left a large hole in the side of the house near Waikiki.
"I looked over here and saw the car impaled in the garage," neighbor Chris Cooper told IVillage.com. Cooper, who lives across the street from the accident site described the sound he heard as a "tremendous crash, as if a small building were coming down."
West who has been renting a home in Oahu while recording his new album wasn't on the island at the time.
On Tuesday (June 8) West left all that drama behind and held his Kanye West Foundation's third annual Stay in School event.
According to MTV, Yeezy thrilled the crowds on what happened to be his 33rd birthday by performing his new single "Power" as well as "Touch The Sky", "Run This Town" and "Good Life".
Lupe Fiasco and Common also performed sets.
