Music on Repeat (Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, James Ingram)

What songs/videos can't I get enough of this week? One is a bizarre techno video, another is a new city anthem, and the last is straight old school.

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

Can't decide which I love more: the actual song or the visually stunning video. Although I am coming very late to the Lady Gaga party, I am really feeling her cd, The Fame and am looking forward to the upcoming EP, The Fame Monster.



Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind

I feel a little silly repping the NYC, but that what this damn song does to me. More than just a catchy chorus, the new anthem of New York makes anyone in earshot happy to be from New York or pretty excited at the thought of going there.



James Ingram - One Hundred Ways

Ok, I'm not going to start complaining about how the kids today wouldn't know a real love song if it walked up to them and slapped them in the face. But...ahhh...if you think about it... Anyway, along with many other hits including Just Once and Baby Come to Me, James Ingram had another hall-of-famer with the ballad, One Hundred Ways.



Monday Randomness (Foxy Brown, Katt Williams, Jennifer Aniston)

WTH is Foxy Brown?

Where is Foxy Brown and what is she doing? Truth be told, I was huge fan of her lyrical style although her personal style often left much to be desired. (Please say no to fuscia lipstick and ridiculously and unnecessarily skimpy wardrobe). Is she finally finished with playing around with NY's finest and the court system? Is her hearing all good now? Can she repeat the success of her classic, Broken Silence?

Ok, I have a couple of ideas. First, VH1 needs to do a reality show with Foxy getting her sh*t together, sharpening her lyrical skills, and getting a complete makeover. Second, I think her and Jay should release a cd together. No offense to Beyonce who I love, but nobody can deny that Jay and Fox together is fiyah!





Katt Williams v. Steve Harvey?

I know Katt Williams has been going thru alot lately but he is my boy. Now I hear about a Williams-Harvey comedians' beef? I went to a Steve Harvey concert a few months ago, and honestly, I am not a fan of his style of comedy. Katt, on the other hand, has me rolling in the dirt. But like Jamie Foxx mentions in the following clip, Katt needs some new material. So they are supposed to going at it in Detroit this week? Well, I'm pulling for my fellow Virgo, Katt. Jamie talks about all the drama on his satellite show:





Jennifer Aniston has the last laugh?

After all the drama went down after Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Jennifer Aniston did look like the rejected ex-wife, while her hunky husband went off with the new "it" girl, Angeline Jolie. Initially the story was that Brangelina held off any romance until after he had broken up with Jen, although it was highly unlikely, I think most wanted to believe that because we liked Brad and Angelina. But recently Angelina has decided to bring up details about that time period, although it was COMPLETELY unnecessary. Thanks for verifying that you were involved with Brad before they separated.

Is 2008 Jen's year? Besides from her relationship with John Mayer (who is supposedly good in the sack and was hilarious in the Dave Chappelle skit), her latest hit - Marley and Me, and that ridiculously hot cover of GQ, she almost has people asking "Brangelina, who?" BTW, would someone please do something about Zahara hair? I could give you a couple of pointers if you can't find any help.
