Antoine Dodson Performs (In A Wig), Justin Bieber Wins At The Webby Awards
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 4:06 AMLisa Kudrow, a Best Individual Performance in An Online Video winner for Web Therapy, hosted the 15th annual Webby Awards.
Music-related winners included no-show Justin Bieber (Best Comedy Video) for last year’s April Fool’s Day takeover of FunnyorDie.com (guess Rebecca Black will just have to wait till next year) and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, who won Artist Of The Year.
But, really, it was all about this:
Angelina Jolie (Louis Vuitton)As enjoyable as those full page ads of Sean Connery looking entirely too comfortable are, Louis Vuitton has nevertheless picked a considerably better-looking new face of the brand: Angelina Jolie. The 36-year-old had her first ad with the company's "Core Values" campaign released online on Monday, and in it you can see the actress relaxing on a wooden boat in Cambodia, barefoot and beautiful. The picture was shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, and the ad is set to run in various publications for 18 months, starting this Wednesday.
In an effort to showcase a "real moment," a tranquil looking Jolie is pictured wearing no makeup, her own clothes and an old Alto bag she's owned for years. There's no word on how much she was paid to do the ad, but we can assume it was enough to buy a new purse.

I don't know if I'm the most fertile woman in America. I've got five big children, you believe that? If you ask anybody I went to high school with, they'd be like puzzled. Wait till you hear the big secret though."

Rihanna Calls Into 106 & Park To Address "Man Down" Video
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 9:38 AM“I don’t like to just make videos. I love to make an experience and this is art with a message,” she told hosts Terrence and Rocsi. “Obviously [the character is] not a cold-blooded killer. It has to be something so offensive and we decided to hone in on a very serious matter that people are afraid to address.”
Her intention was to send a strong message for women who have been victimized. “Rape is happening all over the world and right in our own home and we continue to cover it up and pretend it doesn’t happen,” she explained. “I personally don’t condone violence or murder. I’ve been abused in the past and you don’t see me running around killing people in my spare time. I just want girls to be careful.”
Listen to the full interview below.

The Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks weren’t the only ones squaring off on Thursday night. Chris Brown and Tyler, the Creator infiltrated Twitter timelines with a heated exchange of words.
“All this demonic music is wack as shit!” wrote Chris earlier in the day. “I never claim to be no saint but by no means am I trying to promote death, violence,and destruction with my music!”
It wasn’t long before his followers began guessing who he was talking about. Some assumed it was former girlfriend Rihanna after her controversial “Man Down” video, but Breezy insisted otherwise, writing, “And for all the idiots in the audience this convo wasn’t for @rihanna.”
The “She Ain’t You” singer fired back at Tyler and his fellow OFWGKTA member Hodgy Beats, writing, “Never mentioned @fucktyler or any of them Ni**as! General statement and your hype man hodgy caught feelings! #niggasthatfeelguilty.”
But despite their war of words, Tyler maintains there is no beef. “Its No Beef Between Me And @chrisbrown . I Really Like That Fucking Song Tho ['Look at Me Now'], No Being Sarcastic,” he said before throwing in one last jab. “@chrisbrown Do You Like Soup? Cause You’re Acting Like It.”

She succumbed to heart failure and was surrounded by family when she passed.
Taylor earned an Emmy nomination in 1986 for her recurring role as Dr. Cliff Huxtable's mother, Anna Huxtable, on the long-running sitcom.
A performer on stage, radio, TV and film for over five decades, the actress was a member of the New York stage group, the Negro Ensemble Company, and helped to pave the way for African-American actors in the early 1960s.
Her own big break came that decade when she landed the role of Harriet, David's grandmother, on Sesame Street. She also starred alongside Liza Minnelli in 1970's Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon and played Grady's Cousin Emma on Sanford and Son.
Taylor is survived by her two sons, William and James, and her five grandchildren.

“I just wrote something a week and a half ago that Beyoncé recorded and I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever written,” the Grammy-winning songwriter told PopWrap. “She sang it amazingly. I think it’s a career song and probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written … right now.”
While she’s worked with greats including Celine Dion, Aerosmith, and Mariah Carey, she feels the Beyoncé record has the potential to become her next big hit. “I think it’s really, really going to touch people.”
Warren, noted for her big ballads, has been eyeing a collaboration with B. “I love great singers. I love someone new and exciting,” she said. “I’ve wanted to work with Beyoncé since Destiny’s Child and it took this long, but this was the right song, the right time.”
Warren’s contribution is expected to appear on Beyoncé’s upcoming album 4, due June 28.
