Thursday Dish
Several watchdog groups have banned together to denounce Rihanna's video for her single "Man Down", and have blasted BET for airing the clip. They say it was Rihanna's chance to make a profound statement to victims of rape and domestic violence, like herself, and she didn't. According to mediatakeout.com, model Amber Rose is expecting a child with current boyfriend rapper Wiz Khalifa. Although the two have been reportedly dating for some time, the pregnancy rumor hasn't been confirmed. Kim Kardashian shot down rumors she's expecting with fiance Chris Humphries. According to the rumor mill, pregnancy is the reason Humphries purposed. Kardashian says she wants a child, but is not pregnant. Congratulations to rapper Wiz Khalifa are in order. The rappers latest single "Roll Up" has just been certified platinum. Benjy Grinberg, president of Rostrum Records, and who helped Wiz Khalifa start his rap career, tweeted the information. The rappers first single, "Black & Yellow" was certified double platinum back in February. Both singles appear on his debut album "Rolling Papers". Lady Gaga continues her winning streak. The pop stars latest album "Born This Way" sold over 1,108,000 copies its first week, making it the biggest selling album since 50 Cent's "The Massacre" in 2005. Gaga was everywhere in the weeks prior to the release of the album, appearing on "Good Morning America", "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Late Night With David Letterman", "Saturday Night Live", "American Idol" and even BET's "106 & Park". She's proven to be the toast of the music industry. Rapper Eminem, during a recent interview, stated that he loves rising rap group Odd Future. He says he loves how the group is pushing boundaries, much like Slim Shady himself when he started. He says the group can rhyme as well. Nicki Minaj has joined with director DJ Scoop to create a internet video for "Pink Friday's" "Did It On Em". The clip features scenes from her performances during Lil Wayne's "I Am Still Music" tour. It also features behind the scenes footage of the emcee on and off the stage. She says it's a way of saying thank you to her fans for their support. Website You Tube is gearing up to be more than just a video hosting site. It has launched You Tube 2.0, which hosts grassroots content from various creators. Its first clip received 15,000 views.
