Last evening, Alicia Keys attended the premiere of her Showtime documentary Keep a Child Alive with Alicia Keys in New York City. U2 frontman and Alicia’s good friend Bono came out to support and revealed he was ‘terrified’ the first time he met Alicia. Bono said he met Keys in 2001 when they recorded a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”
“I was terrified the moment I met her. I was shaking in my boots,” he said. “I was very moved by her singing of course, but what was interesting was the hard questions afterwards, and I think it’s those hard questions that she asks that lead her.” Read More →

50 Cent wasn’t the only person offended by T.I.’s remarks in the year-end issue of VIBE magazine – activists within the gay community were not pleased with his statement concerning them either.
“Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That sh*t was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.”
“They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace’.”
Recently, he spoke with Harvey Levin at TMZ to elaborate on the comment. Although he stood by the quote, he feel he was taken out of context. He doesn’t think being gay is un-American, he believes any major entity trying to shut someone down for their opinion is unfair – whether it’s GLAAD, NAACP or PETA. Read More →

Back in October, Webbie appeared on BET’s 106 & Park to promote his upcoming album Savage Life 3 and judge Freestyle Friday. Rumor has it that things turned for the worse when the rapper allegedly made forced advances to 106 co-host Roscsi Diaz. His actions resulted with removal from the premises and permanent forbiddance by co-host Terrence J. Since, Webbie has threatened Terrence J and went on an inaudible rant about the situation.
Recently, Rocsi gave her recount of the situation, saying Webbie “sexually harassed” her, which may have derived from a crush. She also spoke on remaining a fan of Webbie, past eating disorder, penning a book and more.
“In any light that a woman feels disrespected, and I have thick skin, but when you’re at your job and somebody sexually harasses you in a manner that is very vulgar and disgusting, I have no shame in sticking up for myself and telling you ‘you’re improper right now. I’m at work, we’re on set, there’s children around us, you’re really out of line right now’.”
