OKAY! I'VE PROLONGED THIS BUTTTTTTT... I'M BOUT TO DIP OFF THIS BLOGGING SHIT FOR AWHILE! Why some may ask? Because I'm dead bored with this shit. Just doing the same thing over & over. Celebs get boring after awhile you know. And other from blogging about celebs and their lives, I haven't gotten any inspiration from my own. I started my bloggy on one bored night back in March, now I'm giving it a rest on this BRICK ASS December night. I say i'm going on hiatus because who knows how bored I will be, and blow the dust off this shit, but no promises. I might pop up and blog some shit but don't expect me to OD. I DO appreciate all the love I've gotten these past (...counts) 9 months. That's a whole baby! Yall birthed renjones.blogspot.com son! Sighs, thanks guys, for even reading this crap. I'm gna leave some bloggies that are actually dope and that I read. Enjoy em! =*
I really tried to stop overloading my bloggy with this woman, but damn it, she got me again. Rihanna goes topless for the January issue of GQ magazine. Yum, yum, YUM! Did I say yum? I say this issue is a must-cop. The interview is type interesting. She's really just a round the Bajan way, good-girl-been-bad-ass girl!
I had to post this. Do you peep this cover? Amazing. I love Complex magazine. They definitely always bring something new & different to the table. Oh yeah, Eminem is on it too. LOL! That's crazy for me to look at a mag cover & not look at WHO'S on it, but WHAT'S on it.
Let's start with the beautiful Sade. I don't have to say much about this woman, her music speaks for itself. She released her new single, "Soldier of Love", from her upcoming album with the same title (set to come out February 8th). I think the song is kinda dope. Tune in here.
Something new & fresh. As if Trey Songz video for "Invented Sex" wasn't enough to love this song, homie made a remix with Keri Hilson & Usher. It's a hawt little collabo. Nothing major, but it doesnt hurt the ears. Click here to listen.
Ugh, YES! Just what I have been waiting for! Ms. "Pussy On Your Sideburn", Nicki Minaj, did a bomb ass photoshoot with Complex magazine. Everyone has been giving her a lot of slack, from making girls believe that they're Harajuku Barbies to her butt pads (do you know Beyonce wears butt pads in her "Video Phone" vid? Yeah. Pretty much). I say don't blame Nicki, blame the girls who think they can get away with Nicki's fuckery. Anyways, check out these hawt ass pics & the video below.
Idk about you. But those must be some magical butt pads. No tights on either? Blasphemy! -_-
Yay! So, Young Money's video for "Bedrock", premiered on 106 & Park today. I caught it right at Nicki Minaj's part. That's my baby boo, blonde wig & all. I thought the video was cute. Like a big ol slumber party. Drake was looking like a hunk as always. Weezy dreads were nice & long =). Tyga needs to gain weight but he still looked cute with his tiger pants (LOL). Young Money's album, We Are Young Money, comes out December 21.
This is the supposedly the official video for Trey Songz"One Love". If it is, I'm not mad.. AT ALL! I LOVE live performances. This was from an audi event back in May, & I guess they just made a little video outta it. The way he looks at the camera tho? Really gets me tight. However, Trey is suppose to be coming out with a video for his song "Yo Side of The Bed", and the video features Keri Hilson. Can't wait for that one! In the meantime, I'm gonna try to see if I can download this version of the song.
TRAILER TIME! Here is Chris Brown's album promo trailer for his 3rd studio album, Graffiti, which comes out today. I personally think it's trash (the album) but I'm gonna listen to it again. Give it another chance.
Here we have a video teaser from 50 Cent's"Do You Think About Me", which features former girlfriend, Vivica A. Fox. Well, this should be interesting. I'm gonna download the song now, it sounds good lol.
It's the 1st of December which means TWO things. We have 30 more days until 2010, and that it's World AIDS Day. I don't wanna sound like a sex ed teacher, but PLEASE GET TESTED! If you're having sex? It's a must. Trust me, you'll feel great after knowing you're status. =)Spread the awareness guys, not the disease.
Just thought you guys should see this. This could be the person you're sexing =).
Mr. Me Against The World himself, Chris Brown, drops another joint and this time it features newcomer, Ester Dean. "I Love You" is a real cute song. It was produced by Polow Da Don, and it's so catchy but kinda laid back at the same time. And it has this little Paris sound to it (LOL don't judge me), really cute. This will be featured on deluxe edition of Graffiti. Open your ears guys!
Remember that showBefore They Were Famous, or any other show like that, and you got to see the real them before the Hollywood got to them? Welp, I found Lady Gaga. Shorty did a whole 360! She can actually sing! I mean, I knew she was talented in some type of way, but vocally, I didn't see it. Well, she shut me up. And she wasn't Lady Gaga here, just simply Stefani Germanotta. She performed to original pieces, Captivated and Electric Kiss. She never ceases to amaze me, I swear. I think she's kind of a genius. Hmph.
Oh yeah, lemme just threw out her AMA performance. Give yall the before & after effect. I loved it.
I saw this video of Mateo like a month ago. This was my first time hearing the song & everything and I instantly fell in love with him AND the song (too much and's in this sentence). This here is his song "Get To Know Me". It's a real beautiful song. To hear more of Mateo, take a listen to his EP Get To Know Me: Live at Swing House, and if you want the iTunes link, click here. He is a MUST LISTEN!Also, take a visit to Rap-Up.com to read 10 Questions for Mateo. Interesting stuff!
Rihanna's fourth studio album, Rated R, is in stores RIGHT NOW kiddies. You gotta hand it to the girl for making 4 albums in 4 years. She's pretty good. Anyway, this album will not disappoint. Tunes to look out for? Rockstar 101, Rude Boy, Photographs, G4L, Te Amo, & Cold Case Love. Here she is at Best Buy at Union Square. I think the album is currently seeling at $3.99. Sheesh!
And if this is a new tatt, I'm gonna be kinda upset. Just because I can't get it now. LOL
Check out Nicki Minaj photoshoot for Right On! magazine shot by my amazing friend Slinky of Sleep Productions. I got little sneak previews and guys, it's as hot & sick as it looks! Just know where to come if you wanna see first looks! ;)
Oh yes, Robin Thicke, gimme more! Check out this smooth ass song "Ms. Sexy" from his upcoming album, Sex Therapy. Robin always delivers something soothing to our ears, so please believe you won't be disappointed. Word is that Jay-Z is supposed to be featured on this track but I don't have that version :(. However, I still like the song so far. Can't wait to hear the other version (if there is one).
Snoop Dogg has a banger guys! "I Wanna Rock" is sucha dope record. I guarantee your head will be banging mad hard when you hear this. I'm a little late on this one because I thought no one (or myself) will catch on to it. But I heard it in the car, and it was too infectious! This track is featured on his tenth studio album, Malice n Wonderland. He's never gonna retire!
Last time, Brandy sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" for us. Now, she sings Sam Cooke's classic "Change Is Gonna Come". Brandy has always been in my Top 5 lists of singers, and I think you'll know why after watching this (if it didn't hit you the first time). Shorty got some pipes on her! She can make an whole album singing in the bathroom, I can careless.
Ugh, how I crave for this woman. Meagan Good teamed up with celebrity stylist, Mr. Bradshaw, for a shoot with Krave magazine. Here she's rocking some Stevie Boi Shades, Em & Co Boutique, and Cowgirl Heaven, which gave her a fierce ass look, different from her regular around the way girl look. I LOVE the look on her, however I hope it's not permanent. It might look good on her but I don't want her to be another celebrity riding the "Rihanna Wave". Stick to your Cali-'Round-The-Way girl looks Meggie!
And just is case you were wondering where the hell she has been, she has her own production company, Freedom Bridge Entertainment. She's been producing her latest film Sundays In Fort Greene, in which she plays a lesbian. HAWT! No word on when that comes out but, WORK BITCH! =)
I got a lot in store folks. Sit back and TRY to enjoy.
First up, Fabolous featuring Kobe for his video "Imma Do It". The video isn't very entertaining. One of those "Let's make a video, just because" videos. I only posted it because I love this song. Sounds really good in a car at the deafening volume.
Next is the beautiful Keri Hilson. She has a video for her song "I Like" which is on the soundtrack for the German film, Zweiohrküken. Needless to say, I really don't know what that even means LOL! But if you're a devoted Keri fan (or not), check out the vid.
Toni Braxton is back guys!! And she's here with her new single & video, "Yesterday", featuring Trey Songz. The video was directed by Billie Woodruff. Toni hasn't aged a bit, and is keeping her sexy in tact! You can peep Brooke Hogan's cameo in the video. This single is off Toni's upcoming album, which is suppose to be released early 2010.
Here's the adorable Lily Allen with the 5th single, "Who'd Have Known", off her album, It's Not Me, It's You. In the vid, Lily is an obsessed fan of Elton John. I find the video so cute. Thumbs up!
Here are some scans from Rihanna's fourth studio album, Rated R, booklet, which comes out on Tuesday. I just picked out some of my faves, which is basically the whole thing. Hot tamale Miss Thang is. Really gritty & edgy.Also, be sure to check out a bonus track from her album, "Hole In My Head", featuring Justin Timberlake (produced by The Y's). Click hereto listen.
Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind Part 2" in Tribeca, New York for the iHeart Radio series. I love when she performs live. Since this is the first time I'm hearing the Part 2 of this song, it made it even better. This song will be featured on her 4th studio album, The Element of Freedom, featuring a new verse from Jay-Z. Also click here, and check out another song that will be on the album, "Dreaming".
I've been hearing about this track Joe Buddens did over Rihanna's"Russian Roulette" beat. This sounded interesting, just because the beat is dope but I would never imagine someone spittin some shit over it. I'm not too big on Joey but I WILL tell you, he murdered this shit. It even has some shot fired to Tahiry, his ex-gf. He might sound a little bitter to most but hey, that's life. You guys just need to hear for yourself.
I had saw the spread in GQ of Drake, KiD CuDi & Wale being Men of the Year and read a little bit of the article (last picture). "The gangsta persona is finally dead", declares GQ. Wale being the guy who's slick with his words, CuDi being the skinny jeans wearing stoner, and Drake being the unsigned (but now signed) million dollar heartthrob, these are the "Gangsta Killers of the Year".
The magazine honored these guys at their Men of the Year party in Hollywood. Other honorees were Kobe Bryant, Clint Eastwood & President Obama. Drizzy brought Ms. Harajuku Barbie (-_-) herself, Nicki Minaj. They looked together, in a non-couple way. And I always say Drake is a "cuteugly" but he looks hella smooth here. Yum. Wale? Yea. Peep the pics!
