Rihanna Makes the Move to 12-Bedroom House

12348814861?profile=original


Rihanna is moving on up to a house in the hills. The pop diva is about to settle down in a 12-bedroom modernist mansion that she purchased in April 2010, calling it her first real home.

The Bajan babe spent a few years learning the market before splurging on her dream property high above the hills of L.A. “I looked steady for two years, and it is way above the price I was looking for, but I loved it,” she told Vogue.

RiRi, who poses on the magazine’s April cover, went with a white motif for the bachelorette pad. “It is all white,” she continued, revealing accents that display her personal style. “There is a gun chandelier in the middle of the living room. In one room, I have this huge black-and-white painting of Bob Marley, and the wallpaper is green, yellow, and red, the African-flag colors.”

She won’t have too much time to enjoy her new crib, with plans to kick off her “LOUD” tour on June 4 at Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena. The trek, which features Cee Lo Green on the North American leg, will make its way to New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Madrid.

12348807463?profile=originalOne of the pioneers of the West Coast's g-funk sound has passed away.

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, 41-year old Nathanial Hale aka Nate Dogg has died from complications from multiple strokes..

The singer had suffered 2 strokes in the last several years. Last year Warren G made a video plea to fans asking for financial support for Nate.

Nate came into the game during the Death Row Records era with Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound. Although he had several solo albums Nate will be most remembered for singing hooks and ushering the g-funk era when he and Warren-G dropped "Regulate".

Rihanna found a way to turn a horrible situation into a positive and she's more than willing to talk about it.

In the new issue of Vogue, Riri rehashes the Chris Brown assault situation, saying it gave he music an edge.

"It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories.

"My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours.

"It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head high even in the worst of situations. I keep using the word unapologetic, but there's a freedom that has come with all of that. Where you feel like you don't have to make an excuse for being yourself."

In other Rihanna news, the singer has been rumored to be on a list of singers/actresses for 'The Bodyguard' remake.

12348818292?profile=originalFor a man who just pulled his career back from the brink of oblivion with mixtapes, the chance to drop a brand new official album must be a good feeling.

It's a feeling Chris Brown plans to hold onto all of 2011.

The 21-year old announced yesterday (March 14) at a listening party in L.A. that he would be putting out 2 'F.A.M.E.' albums this year according to The Boombox

"[This] is the first part of the 'F.A.M.E.' album," Chris announced. "I'm coming out with another album six months later."

A lot of artists attempt to put out 2 albums in one year, but it's difficult task on a major label. I think Chris's sequel disc will hinge on how the initial cd does retail wise.

12348814675?profile=original50 Cent unveiled another part of his plan for world domination by announcing an international distribution deal with PIAS.

After inking a North American distribution deal through EMI last year, this was the next logical step says Nikki Martin, Vice President of G-Unit Records and Entertainment.

"Last year we took the decision to restructure the label and begin to carve out it's own world-wide distribution, marketing and promotions strategy," Martin said. “After signing with EMI for North America we looked at who could help develop the brand in other key territories and we decided to partner with PIAS who shared our vision and passion for the music."

The PIAS group is headquartered in Brussels and has local offices in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France and Spain.

Gucci Mane Covers The Source

12348817860?profile=original


Gucci Mane shows his grill for the cover of The Source’s annual Green Issue. The feature is written by moi and hits newsstands March 22nd. Below is an excerpt of La Flare making the Forbes list last year.


Source: You don’t make Forbes by being stupid. Do you feel like people doubt your intelligence?

Gucci: Yeah. The critics and bloggers ridicule and scrutinize [but] it fuels my fire. I can’t say I want to enjoy all the

spoils of the game without being criticized. I actually welcome it as a part of success. I don’t want everybody to like me. So many people feel like I don’t deserve the things I got. I know I worked so hard for ‘em, so [criticism] makes me work even harder.

On a personal note, this is technically my first cover story. No (disrespect Lil’ Boosie). Shouts to Bonsu Thompson and the countless others along the way (Tiffany Chiles, Jack Erwin, Vanessa Satten, Rachelle Gauthier, Datwon Thomas, etc.) that have helped make this moment possible. You are appreciated.

Move over Michael Jackson, Eminem is now the most popular artist on Facebook; alive or dead.

AOL News reports that the Detroit lyricist officially claimed the title over the weekend when he surpassed the King of Pop with the most likes on the social networking site. As of press time Em has 30,339,050 likes, while MJ has 29,889,0268.

Last month, the Detroit bred superstar made headlines after he exceeded Lady Gaga’s stats on Facebook. She is currently in second place with 30,150,676 likes. This battle is sure to be ongoing, as both Gaga and Jackson are known to have very supportive fanbases.

In related news, Em’s third solo album for Interscope, The Eminem Show, was recently certified diamond by the the Recording Institute Association of America (RIAA). This isn’t the first time he shipped over 10,000,000 copies of one of his discs. 2001’s The Marshall Mathers LP also earned the Em a diamond plaque.

It was a family affair as G.O.O.D. Music helped Common celebrate his 39th birthday with a surprise party at The Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Sunday night (March 13). Kanye West and Kid Cudi stuck close by the Chi-town rapper as he blew out the candles on his movie-themed cake inscribed with “Happy Born Day Rash.” The birthday boy mingled with actors Meagan Good and Erik Fellows before heading over to a nearby bowling alley to keep the celebration going until the early hours of Monday.

In related news, Kanye is scheduled to perform on March 19 at VEVO’s Power Station during the SXSW Film Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.

Lil Boosie’s Mom Urges Fans for Support


While Lil Boosie sits behind bars and awaits trial on first degree murder charges, his mother, Connie Hatch released a video online today (March 14), asking fans for their help.

As XXLMag.com previously reported, the Baton Rouge, LA rapper, born Torrence Hatch, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge for his alleged involvement in a shooting incident from last October that left one man dead. That particular charge, in the state of Louisiana, carries a maximum sentence of the death penalty.

In an effort to rally support, Boosie’s family has created a Web site, www.boosiejustice.com, as an outlet for fans to speak out against the charges as well as donate money to his family. “[Lil Boosie] and his family ask that you to please take action now,” the site states. “Let yourself be heard. If you are part of a civil rights organization we want to hear from you.”

Ms. Hatch also sent a message to supporters via Lil Boosie’s latest video “Green Light Special.” “Torrence Hatch is innocent,” she said in the clip [Watch above]. “We want to make sure he gets a fair trial. The site contains info from Torrence attorney and family on how you can help us fight this charge. The charge has placed a huge emotional and financial burden on the family. We need your support.”

Boosie is currently serving a two year sentence for a separate drug and weapons case stemming from a 2008 arrest.

Stay tuned to XXLMag.com as more on the story develops.

Rihanna creates an event no matter where she is. So here we check her out leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Ca yesterday (February 13).

Looking a bit buzzed or perhaps tired, the singer showed lots of cleavage as she walked to her vehicle outside one of her favorite restaurants.

What do you think of RiRi's curly do?
