Lady Gaga's 'Yoü And I' Video To Premiere Thursday On MTV

   Lady Gaga has some news for all her Little Monsters. The Mother Monster herself will sit down with MTV News and Sway Calloway on Thursday night (August 18) during "MTV First: Lady Gaga" to premiere her highly anticipated music video for "Yoü and I." And during her live interview, she's also set to make another big announcement.

 "Yoü and I" is the fourth video off of Gaga's chart-topping Born This Way. She's already dazzled fans with high-concept clips for "Born This Way" and "Judas" and then kicked it more lo-fi and old school in her video for "The Edge of Glory," which co-starred the late Clarence Clemons.

  Gaga promised fans that she'll post a link to the video as her 1,000th tweet. So far she's posted several hints about the video as she approaches that number. Tweet #993 reads, "Love is a Result. We bare an Unbearable Human Inability: to just 'be.' " It also features a photo of a woman, presumably Gaga, in a white dress, sitting at a piano in the woods. Her next two tweets hinted that the premiere would take place in "Less than a week" and then the accompanying photo was of dirty feet in high-heeled platforms.

Justin Timberlake struggled to overcome his parents’ divorce

Justin Timberlake has spoken of the personal “obstacles” he had to overcome after his parents divorced. The singer turned actor’s parents Lynn and Randall ended their marriage when he was around four years old and it had a profound effect on him. He admits it was a hard time in his life and took him a long time to get over.
Although Justin – who has previously dated Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel – doesn’t go into specifics, he hinted seeing what his parents went through has impacted his own romantic relationships. “When you’re a child of a broken home there are other obstacles to overcome, too. You spend so much time trying not to be a victim of what happened. Trying to overdo not becoming your parents. But slowly, you learn to become yourself,” he explained to the September issue of UK magazine Elle.
There were some positives about the situation though. Both his parents remarried and Justin learnt to deal with changes in his life. He began to see the possibilities in life are endless and decided to grab any opportunities he was given.
“Never having a sibling means you have to accept responsibility. And then coming to terms [with the divorce] as a kid… it probably gave me some sort of energy, the sense I’m going to have to do something else now,” he said.

Zimbabwe: Munya Involved In Accident

Former Big Brother All Stars housemate Munyaradzi Chidzonga is on crutches following an accident in which he broke his ankle.

Munyaradzi, or simply "The Diamond Boy" to the reality show fans, sustained a swollen ankle as a result of the accident but sources revealed that it was not that "serious".
When The Herald sought comment from the "Lobola" actor, he could neither confirm nor deny but promised to release a statement.
However, a close friend who requested anonymity confirmed the accident but insisted that it was not serious.
"Well, it was just a minor accident in which he broke his ankle but nothing serious," he said.
Munyaradzi has since sent his congratulatory message to this year's Zimbabwe's winner of Big Brother Amplified Wendall Parson, who was jointly awarded first prize with Nigeria's Karen Ibho.
"The Diamond Boy", who is an actor by profession, came second in the season four of Big Brother All Stars version although he had survived eviction for a record nine times.

There was a huge out cry throughout Africa after M-Net, the producers of the show through Endemol South Africa awarded Nigeria's Uti Nwachukwu ahead of the firm favourite Munyaradzi.

However, Munyaradzi was then rewarded by a group of businessmen who put together a whopping US$300 000 prize which was presented to Munya by President Mugabe.

His first-ever feature film called "Lobola" in which he stars as the main actor, has done exceptionally well on the market. His next film titled "The Gentleman" is due for release later this year.

ProVerb (South Africa)

 

 

The industry librarian
Book of Proverbs, a poetic book of maxims from the Old Testament. Proverb, a short pithy saying in common or recognised use; a concise sentence, often metaphorical, held to express some general truth.

A lot to live up to if ProVerb is your non de plume as an emcee, but this guy has the goods, as he proved with his first release, Book of ProVerb, his sophomore album, Manuscript, his mixtape, Off Da Books, and now again with his latest effort, Write of Passage. This guy is never short of words, concepts or rhymes.

Hailing from Kimberley (home of the world's largest diamond crystal), ProVerb lost no time finding his footing in the “big city” of Johannesburg.

His first break came in 2003 when he collaborated with Amu, one of Jo'burg's veterans, on the track "Attention", after which he quickly battled and freestyled his way up the ranks to release albums, make a name for hmself in radio as a technical producer, and on TV as the host of Headrush, a popular African hip hop show.




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 







  A true emcee in every sense, ProVerb is always interested in connecting hip hop from different parts of the continent, hence his collaborations with artists such as Mode 9 (Nigeria) and performance with Awadi (of Positive Black Soul, Senegal) at the African presidents tour in South Africa.

A busy guy, yet he makes the time for charity work, and is involved with Unicef, activities that have taken him to India, Uganda, Ethiopia and Spain.

Of all his activities, though, what stands out is the music. ProVerb's lyrics are profound, his rhyming skills sharp, and listening to him is like reading a good book. It feeds your soul and makes you wanna write better, wanna be better.

Soulja Boy Rep Shoots Down Multi-Million Dollar Jet Purchase

So much for ballin' on your born day. A rep for Soulja Boy has put the kibosh on reports that his 21 year old client purchased a private jet for over $30 million dollars as a special birthday gift to himself at the end of last week.
"The elaborate rumors circulating about Soulja Boy purchasing a jet for his 21st birthday are grossly over exaggerated" publicist Greg Miller told Gerald mbago blog flat out calling the reports "not true."
While most new 21-year-olds bask in the freedom of legally being able to buy drinks at the bar and partying it up with their pals, birthday boy Soulja Boy Tell’Em has taken stunting to a new level with his latest reported purchase. Opting to celebrate in a most innovative way, a report says that the “Crank That” rapper has purchased a $55 Million dollar jet tricked out with features fit for a young millionaire.
News site has reported that an insider on Soulja Boys’ team said to the their staff that Soulja Boy purchased a brand new G5 private jet for $35 Million but with the bonus additions to the aircraft, the price bumped up to a cool $55 Million. According to the report, the jet will be outfitted with posh Italian leather seats, a travertine tiled floor, hardwood cabinets, four stocked bars and a number of flat screen TVs. Soulja doesn’t intend to stop there as the rapper intends to take out the usual cramped airplane bathroom stall and adding his own lavish version of a full-sized bathroom as well.
Soulja is said to also have work done on the exterior of his plane, adorning the aircraft with his artist and label logo literally stamping his expensive birthday gift. Soulja – who turned 21 yesterday (July 28) – is also throwing a big all-star b-day bash in Miami tonight, spending a reported $300,000 dollars to host the event.
