“In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” are words uttered by Andy Warhol. In the realm of reality television, YouTube, and social networks Mr. Warhol was correct in more ways than I even think he expected.

On the dawn of a new decade, anyone who is willing can gain their fifteen minutes of fame in this world. It’s not unrealistic to daydream to be a ‘hot topic’ on “The View” or a fluff story in the pages of “Us Weekly”. In a generation that has seen and done it all from instant porn to the broad casted hanging of a notorious terrorist via YouTube. Any thing’s possible and nothing is impressive.

I knew it! Here’s a picture that recently surfaced on the net of Queen Latifah all booed up with some babe.

Sometimes I feel like the Young Based God is just clowning niggaz. This album art for “Blue Flame” he just dropped via facebook, is completely reminiscent of the Early No Limit and Cash Money covers. I know this nigga does not have a silk shirt on. Now that’s swag.

Terry Richardson, who has amassed a famed photographic collection of the hottest stars, in the awkward of postions, posted these pictures of the use to be couple Kanye West and Amber Rose. Head-licking, pick lipstick stains…it’s all in good fun. More pictures after the jump.

As you know I never got a chance to finish high school but they gave me my honorary degree the other day….and I’ve been accepted into Howard University, the class of 2014!

I use to think that the only thing that Lady Gaga could possibly do to top off all the stunts which are in abundance in her career, was to get pregnant by Lil’Wayne and film the birth on live TV. Boy was I wrong. In this issue of Vogue Hommes Japan, Gaga gives us our lasagna and cheese as she introduces us to her alter ego, Joe Calderone.  More pictures after the jump.

Months from now, when your listening to the radio and NYC artist Samuel’s “I HEART NY” tracks comes on, I don’t care what city you’re living in, you’ll be thanking me for the heads up. A charmer with a care free, flirty and organic wordplay to match, I swear to you that Samuel is going to take the music industry by storm. His sound is rebellious in the fact that it doesn’t fit in, and is just so damn care free and unstructured. But don’t be mistaken by his lighthearted demeanor his wordplay and play on rhymes’ while sleekly and freshly telling his life story of bicycles breaking down, golden summers, and walks though the park in New York Times, matches that of  hip-hop legends. And don’t mistake him as the next Jason Mraz, as of what I’ve heard so far the New York artist isn’t keen on singing about love, laughing and occasionally stealing things, the grungy essence of life and New York sidewalks is his forte, after all he was created to grow up and be famous. He is signed on to Columbia Records and all that I see for this organic artist is great things. More info on Samuel

Lady Gaga is on the cover of Rolling Stone, and dare I say she looks scandalous. Wearing a crop blonde bob that is reminiscent of Catherine Zeta Jones in the hit film Chicago, and the Maddonesque gun bra which made it’s debut appearance in her Alejandro video. The pop star looks deadly. This cover is a subtle turn around from her bubble dress days. Below are some excerpts from her tell all interview.

In the Interview Gaga gets candid about her sense of self:“When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, ‘B***h, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’ “

In the Interview, Gaga Talks about maintaining her public image: “If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga … I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music.”

In the Interview Gaga talks about the upcoming album, and about the darker side of her that is being revealed though her music: I think I’m gonna get the album tatooed on me and put out the photo. I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artist take years; I don’t. I write music everyday. Concerning the darker tone of her new music: Now I’m going to have to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is not more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.

Whatever the hell that means. I love it when artist respect their fans enough to allow us into sessions of their lives through their art, their music. A lot of artist experience things and take years off to heal, but others get inspired by the pain and sporadic moments of growth, make good music, and while doing so allow fans to come along for the ride. Can’t wait to hear the upcoming album, and see more of her avant garde style videos. Hope you enjoyed! XXXO.
