New pics just released with Christina Milian.  Is this a love connection or is she sleeping around for tracks?   Does anyone know what happened with her and her last boyfriend Dre (from Cool & Dre)?

Jackson to Be Buried
Without His Brain

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - As Michael Jackson's family continues to decide on his burial plans, one tough decision has apparently already been made -- he will be buried without his brain.
The London Daily Mail and several other outlets are reporting that the family had to make the grim choice of waiting up to three weeks for Jackson's brain to be returned to them or go ahead and bury him without it.
After performing an autopsy on the legendary singer, the Los Angeles Coroner's Office has kept the brain for additional neurological tests including ones to see what drugs he may have taken. But the examination reportedly cannot begin until at least two weeks after the death when the brain has hardened sufficiently to slice it open.
According to the Sunday Mirror , a source from the coroner's office said that removing the brain was "the only way to carry out the tests."
"The tissue has to be examined. I can't tell you how long that is going to take," he said.
A public memorial for Jackson will be held on Tuesday at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, and the family is planning a private event at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills at a later date.

Listen/Download Trey Songz new single here. 

If you're in the NYC area, check out his show tonight at Le Poisson Rouge. 

LOL.... What do you think?

I'm definitely a fan of Rihanna. Love her songs and her style, but lately doesn't it seem like she's doing a bit too much? The tights are just too much for me! Of course Rih Rih can pull off a lot of things, I'm sure if it was anyone else, it would've been a disaster! How do you guys feel it? 

If you love the look, and think you can pull it off like Rih Rih you can purchase the tights for E855.00 (which I think is $1,138.76) lol which in my opinion is just ridiculous but they are Rodarte here. Similar shorts can be found here at shopbob for $141.00. Shopbob is currently having 25% off also until tomorrow, just use the promo code INTHEFAMILY25. They'll only be $105.75 after the discount is applied. As for her boots those can be purchased at eluxury for $575.00.

A few record labels such as Atlantic Records, Interscope, Universal Motown have been trying to get Drake. Drizzy has finally made his decision and is now signed to Universal Motown. I'm glad he's sign and can't wait till he's in DC next week! If you haven't heard this song I'm still fly (I believe its Page's song and not Drake's) listen here. 

The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival is an annual event celebrating Hip Hop Culture and the borough of Brooklyn as a premier cultural destination. Now entering its fifth year, the BHF has become a staple of Summer in NYC.

 Def Jam Music's Grammy Award Winning Artist, Chrisette Michele, Honors Over 60 Mom's For Mother's Day

ATLANTA - (April 25, 2009) - Grammy Award winner, Ne-Yo and The Compound Foundation announced plans to host the 2nd Annual Mother's Day brunch and serenade themed "Sunday Brunch at the Opera," to honor metro-Atlanta foster mothers. The event is being held to encourage, celebrate and reward these mothers for all that they do each and every day. This special invite only brunch will be held on Sunday, May 10th, 2009 at the Opera Events Facility from 2pm-4pm in Atlanta. The event will highlight wellness and self-care through the partnership of Zen Massage, a local spa franchise in Atlanta.

Joining in on the mission to help children in foster care is Ne-Yo's Def Jam label mate Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter, Chrisette Michele. With her new album scheduled for release on May 5, 2009, Chrisette will perform tracks from her upcoming album, Epiphany. Chrisette's mother Linette Payne was a foster mom for many years prior to taking on the role of Chrisette's manager. "We asked Chrisette, not only because of her beautiful voice, but because she is someone who personally understands issues facing children in foster care and continues to give back every chance she gets," said Loraine Smith, Chair of the Compound Foundation and Ne-Yo's mom.

With Ne-Yo as the founder and spokesperson, the Compound Foundation is raising money to support Compound Cares. The new project focuses on utilizing the best care practices for children growing up in state custody and providing grants to independent licensed care providers with 6 or more children under their care. "They [foster moms] wake up each morning and go about the day's activities selflessly; sometimes forsaking their own needs," said Ne-Yo, who's real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith. With plans for expansion, this past year the Compound Foundation reached thousands of kids in state care through programs in major urban cities such as Nevada, Maryland, New York, Florida, Georgia and D.C.

This is an invitation only event for foster mothers who have been identified by DHR Division of Family and Children Services to have a positive record of service to children in Georgia, and guests of the Compound Foundation. "Our hope is that we can give the moms a great time and make them feel the appreciation we all have for all that they do," said Reynell Hay, co-Founder of the Compound Foundation.

About the Compound Foundation
Launched in early 2007, the Compound Foundation is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization established to increase awareness about the status of children in the child welfare system in America and to support and partner with residential care facilities through programs aimed at teaching entrepreneurship and life skills that will empower them to become productive, successful, independent adults.

 It seems that everywhere you go, you can here someone listening to or talking about one of Drake's songs. The recent increase in Drake-monium has made this young rap phenom a hot commodity across the nation, and in two weeks, the District will be lucky enough to have the hip-hopper make his performance in the area.

Eminem reemerges, but is his moment lost?

Whoever his audience might be, Eminem will have to come up with more interesting material to command their attention. While the recent songs might tell us the kind of TV he’s been watching, none gives a glimpse into what he’s actually been feeling during this recording hiatus. And he’s had no shortage of emotional triggers: dealing with addiction, the seemingly final dissolution of his marriage to the infamous Kim, and the death of his close friend Proof. He’s clearly done a lot of living and learning, yet that isn’t apparent in the rhymes we’ve heard to date. The cringe-worthy Eminem has resurfaced, but not the clever wordsmith willing to display vulnerability and dig for emotion. Only the album cover, an image of the rapper made out of a mosaic of pills, hints at the demons he has previously illuminated.
