Via Us News – Looks like Mariah Carey has gotten her revenge against Eminem.
Carey dressed up in drag as the rapper while filming her new music video “Obsessed” in New York City Monday.
The tune’s lyrics include: “You’re so lame….Ooh boy, why you so obsessed with me? Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress/Last man on the earth/still couldn’t get this.”

Eminem rapped about Carey — who he has said he briefly dated in 2001 — in his song “Bagpipes From Baghdad.”
“I want another crack at ya,” Eminem’s lyrics go. “Nick Cannon better back…up. I’m not playing, I want her back, you punk.’”

Slammed Carey’s husband Nick Cannon then: “What type of grown…man lies about getting with a chick? Only Slim Lamey! LOL!”

Eminem later admitted to BBC Radio he “kind of spazzed out on that record.
“There’s a line on there that was a little harsh. It’s a harsh line… But it’s like this, the way I look at it. I had no idea he was going to take it like he took it. I had no idea Nick Cannon was going to start wildin’ out on me,” he said.

I think this is his greatest song and the most fitting song for the occasion!

Mike was the coolest in this clip!!!

Via TMZ – We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing, after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

TWITTER users are more likely to buy music online than non-users, reports BEATCRAVE.COM. “An NPD report says that 33% of TWITTER users bought a CD in the last three months, compared to 23% of all Internet users, and 34% of TWITTERERS purchased a digital download, which is considerably more than the 16% of overall Web users who bought music online.

“Can TWITTER change the downward spiral of music sales? The four major labels, EMI MUSIC, WARNER MUSIC, SONY BMG and UNIVERSAL MUSIC, all have TWITTER accounts, no doubt to take advantage of easy distribution on the platform. However, bands and artists have also been able to keep their trusting followers more up-to-date on their latest releases through TWITTER, and spread new music more efficiently.

“RUSS CRUPNICK, entertainment industry analyst for NPD said that ‘based on their music-purchasing history, active TWITTER users are simply worth more to record labels and music retailers than those who are not using TWITTER.’

“The instantaneous nature of TWITTER also encourages musicians to release music more quickly; singles, music videos and remixes have been distributed immediately, rather than keeping followers waiting months for new material.”

Facebook just took another shot at Twitter.

Starting now, you can publish status updates not just to your “friends” on Facebook but to everyone. That means your status updates can be visible to not only those in your social network but those who aren’t and, maybe even more importantly, Google, Bing and every other search engine that indexes Facebook pages and profiles.

Here’s how the setting looks, courtesy of AllFacebook:

This is definitely a first step toward opening up a platform that has built its success on giving its users full control of letting only certain people in. Perhaps Facebook is realizing that being ubiquitous means opening up even further than the Facebook Connect platform has allowed it to. Or maybe it’s just feeling the Twitter heat. Either way, Facebook just got a little more public.

When Facebook launched its Pages product, it made brand pages look, feel and act more like profiles. Now profiles are acting more like Pages. If this is a step toward going the “full monty,” is it something that users will embrace — or shun? Either way, this is something to pay attention to. I’m sure Facebook will be paying very close attention to it.

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Apple Inc’s latest iPhone hit stores on Friday with new features and faster speeds, drawing plenty of fans, if not the crowds that had swarmed the previous iPhone debuts.

Several hundred shoppers lined up outside Apple’s stores in New York and San Francisco before their 7 a.m. opening, but the queues were shorter and moved more quickly than for the first iPhone in 2007 and for last year’s 3G model.

“This is my first iPhone purchase,” said Adam Moore, a technology consultant who arrived at the Apple store in downtown San Francisco at 3:30 a.m. “I’ve been in the industry long enough to know when to buy something. The software and the hardware have caught up… there’s nothing like it.”

Analysts had predicted smaller crowds for the launch of the new 3GS compared to earlier iPhones. For the first time, Apple and sole U.S. carrier AT&T Inc took preorders for the iPhone, helping some buyers avoid the first-day scrum. (more…)

Chris Brown has copped a plea in his assault case. He won’t do jail time, but he will spend 6 months doing things like road cleanup. He’s also been ordered to stay 50 yards clear of Rihanna. He’ll spend 180 days doing hard labor in Virginia which is where Brown lives – it’s equivalent to Caltrans or graffiti cleanup.

He gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault — he pled guilty. He’ll get supervised probation. He’ll have to come back to court every three months. He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program. This is interesting … the judge said if Brown and Rihanna are at the same public events, the 50-yard stay away turns into 10 yards. The stay away order lasts 5 years.

The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.” If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison. Rihanna is in the courthouse but never entered the courtroom. So Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the right to vote or carry a gun. Brown left the courtroom … just after he left, Rihanna walked in the courtroom. (more…)

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver’s license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.

‘What does it look like?’ she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, ‘It’s square and it has your picture on it.’

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. ‘Here it is,’ she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, ’OK, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a cop.’

The tattooist embroiled in a row with a teenage girl who claims he tattooed 56 stars on her face when she only asked for three has said he will help pay for them to be removed.

Rouslan Toumaniantz said today that Kimberley Vlaminck ‘absolutely’ agreed she wanted 56 stars tattooed on the left side of her face.

But now the 18-year-old is suing Toumaniantz, claiming she had asked him for only three stars – and had fallen asleep during the procedure, waking up to a nightmare in her Belgian hometown of Courtrai. (more…)
