Pharrell Williams In Complex's Best Of 2013

In the midst of preparing for his upcoming album, Pharrell Williams was selected to front Complex magazine's Best of 2013 issue.

While rocking a few poses for the Timothy Saccenti-shot spread, the 40-year-old singer/songwriter chatted about his friend Miley Cyrus and revealed his thoughts on the animal rights organization PETA.

On Miley:

"I’m not worried about Miley. I’ve seen her soul in action. She’s 20 years old and enjoying her life. She’s enjoying her freedom. [With her style] I’m talking about her everyday dressing—she shuts it the f*** down. Not too many people really understand the Chanel vocabulary like her. Like, she’s a problem."

On PETA:

"I sympathize with their movement and I recognize that people could be impressionable. But at the same time, I like fashion. And I don’t like being told what to do."

Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer and Lupita Nyong’o Cover The Hollywood Reporter

Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer, and 12 Years a Slave’s Lupita Nyong’o join Emma Thompson, Julia Roberts and Amy Adams for the cover of The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Actresses Roundtable issue.

Inside the issue the ladies opened up about some of their scariest on-set experiences, dumb moments and everything in between that has made them the actresses they are.

Oprah gave the group a glimpse at what it was like for the talk show host to star in her first Spielberg production, The Color Purple, “So I walked in — first scene, first day, Steven Spielberg — and I looked directly in the camera because that’s what you do on television. I walked in and went, ‘How you doing, Miss Celie?’ And he went, ‘Cut! Cut! Cut! What is wrong with you?’ And I’m standing there, trembling. ‘Where are you looking?’ I go, ‘I’m looking at the camera.’ He goes, ‘Miss Celie’s over there!’ [I was] terrified.”

Octavia Spencer told the magazine her views on the new crop of female writers and what that means for actresses, “Well, you have a fresh crop of female writers, and men are writing better parts for women and realizing that women can open films. I think we’re making strides. We’re not there yet, but I’m really excited about the past couple of years.”

And Lupita Nyong’o had this to say about her role in 12 Years a Slave, “It was tough. I knew I couldn’t go about it in any sort of method way because I would have not survived the experience. I was always so close to tears, and plenty of times, I’d be in my hotel room, just crying.”

But it didn't stop him from meeting others on the beach, and the paparazzi caught him. Of course.

He posted one of his own pics saying:

Sand to the beach because____ blah blah blah...

Solange Falls Out With Her ‘True’ Producer Over Twitter

Just months after Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard and her “Goldenheart’ producer Drew Scott parted ways as musical partners and friends, another musical duo has chuck deuces to each other. Solange Knowles and her ‘True” EP producing partner Dev Hynes [aka Blood Orange] are on the outs, and they recently spilled their beef on to Twitter. This week, Dev hinted that there was trouble in paradise when he posted the subliminal tweets:

If you wanna take shots at me text me call me talk to me in person but don’t ever drop a subliminal, talk behind my back, or send a flunky. I’m doing myself. Ain’t nothing to do with anyone else, I’m about myself, like any self respecting human should be. We live & die alone. I have beef with no one. I won’t even mention your name ever again. Any of you. I’ve said my bit. I’ve reached out. I’ve praised you. But now it’s done. It’s over. We’re done. Bye.

To which Solange responded:

When you do Tumblr posts, speak about things in interviews, tweet, issues then belong to the public. I have been minding my biz. I have only ever praised you and spoken about you positively, even when our perspectives were totally different. I still support your artistry & am extremely happy for your success. I just wished you were honest about the making of my album. That’s all I’m going to say on this. You know more than anyone n—as love drama. Also u know very well I have reached out. Bless. Ps: Your phone been going straight to VM for long time.

The actual fallout seems to have happened earlier this year and stemmed from a few articles posted on Solange’s music, which praised and credited Dev Hynes for her sound. According to a Fader article posted just last week:

In April, though, some public tension emerged concerning who wrote what on Hynes’ most successful collaborations. Solange, seemingly dissatisfied with the way Hynes’ role was being described in reviews, sent off a string of tweets about True to her one million followers: “Y’all got it all the way wrong. Ive been writing and producing my own voice since 02, nigga … I find it very disappointing when I am presented as the ‘face’ of my music, or a ‘vocal muse’ when I write or co-write every f-cking song … Sexism in the industry ain’t nothing new.” I ask Hynes if he believes her tweets were in response to something he had said. “I didn’t say anything,” Hynes says. “She reads reviews. I’ve never read a single Blood Orange review in my life.”

Though Solange declined to comment for this story, her use of “vocal muse” seemed to refer to a Pitchfork review of True that employed the phrase. The exact circumstances surrounding their falling out are unclear—and the two still share a manager. Hynes says they never resolved the issue. “We’ve spoken but I don’t know where it’s at,” he says. Hynes says he wrote a good portion of the album entirely himself, especially the songs “Losing You” and “Bad Girls,” which he wrote and recorded versions of before he even knew Solange, with Solange adding mostly structural and vocal changes throughout. But it’s difficult to quantify exactly who contributed what. Within a couple of months, though, Hynes had quit the tour before it was over and returned to New York, and he wasn’t asked to work with Solange on her next album.

At a show in a Chinatown boutique in September, an overpacked crowd turns up to see a rare Blood Orange performance with a full band. Hynes, in a long coat and leather kufi, takes off his jacket to perform “Bad Girls,” one of the songs he wrote that Solange re-recorded for True. Then, before launching into “Everything Is Embarrassing,” Hynes gives a brief monologue, oddly compelled to footnote a song he created: “I’ve got a lot of shots ready to be fired, and I guess this is the shot. This is a song I wrote for another singer. She said a couple weeks ago that she doesn’t like when I say I wrote it—this happens a lot to me, but I’m not an arrogant guy. That said, I’ve written some songs for people and they haven’t given me due credit and it pisses me off.

Beefing over credits definitely can get ugly in these streets. It’s unfortunate because ‘True’ is one of Solo’s best projects.

Wu-Tang Clan Affiliate Killa Sin Charged With Attempted Murder In Staten Island

It's a sad day for Wu-Tang Clan fans and even bleaker one for Jeryl Grant, b.k.a. as Killa Sin of the group Killarmy. This past Saturday of November 23, he was arrested on charges of second-degree attempted murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly shooting a man six times in the chest.

Reports: SILive

The shooting took place down the block from the Sangita Shala night club at 556 Richmond Road about 4 a.m. Saturday, authorities said, and left a man -- identified by sources as Darnell Brown, 33 -- wounded, though not fatally. That club saw a gun-related incident back in February, according to police.

Police arrested the alleged shooter, Jeryl Grant, 37, of the 100 block of St. Mark's Place in St. George, Wednesday. He's charged with second-degree attempted murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office.

Grant gave detectives an account of what happened, according to a law enforcement source: He said he parked his truck behind the night club, which he referred to as "Fires," then headed to a birthday party at Edgewater Hall on Bay Street in Stapleton.

Grant got a ride back to his truck sometime between 3 and 3:30 a.m., and found people hanging around it. "And next thing you know there's a shooting. At least that's what he told investigators," the source said.

Even if the plea of self-defense is heard out in court, there's a few disclaimers that could speak inevitable doom for Grant. He's currently on parole until Oct. 3, 2015 for criminal weapons possession. Killa Sin served two stints in prison for the same charge-- a three-year sentence for in 2003, and a four-year sentence for a 2007.

The fact that Killa Sin appeared on a Wu-collaborated track named "Murder Spree" will probably drive defense lawyers to the brink of insanity. There has been no reports on Sin's plea in the matter but his willingness to cooperate with authorities on the matter suggest it would be a "not guilty" one.

Lacefront Wig Wearer’s Rejoice: Sony Creating A SmartWig

Sony has filed a patent for a SmartWig. Yep you read that right. The application describes a standard wig that could “be made from horse hair, human hair, wool, feathers, yak hair or any kind of synthetic material,” with a circuit board hidden among those luscious locks. I guess you will be able to have your U part give you GPS directions?

Their smartwatch is already in its second generation and has been on the market since 2012. So perhaps they are getting bored for the expected and are really thinking out-of-the-box. But this is really out there (even for me).

According to the patent filing the wig is meant to cover at least part of the user’s head with at least one sensor for input, a communication interface and the necessary processors to handle these. All of these components are meant to be hidden in the wig.

The filing goes on to detail that the SmartWig would have GPS, an integrated camera and the ability to transmit and receive ultrasound waves. It would also be able to talk to a secondary computer (like a smartphone or tablet or even another wearable with a screen) and provide tactile feedback to the wearer. Oh and did I mention the laser pointer?!

Get this, you will have a sensor to help you make sure that your fake hair is on right….? I am literally GAGGING for life…. They are just making up anything now?

Rapper's Former Manager Accuses Rihanna Of STEALING "Jeweled Doobie" Look!

Rihanna's jeweled doobie has irked a few folks. But there's one person in particular who claims RiRi jacked another artist's swagger. Meet the lady who allegedly inspired the look

On social media, Rihanna's AMA hairdo caused quite the stir. And today, we received an interesting email from the former manager of a rapper who claims HER artist started this look. And Rihanna jacked it!

We were tipped off about Patwa, a Bronx born 2nd generation Jamaican American, who fused hip hop, reggae and culture into her music (much like Rihanna). As a part of her "look", Patwa embraced the doobie with jeweled pins to signify she was a Queen and this was her ghetto crown. But here's the thing...Patwa and her manager were told by Def Jam execs that her look was too hood and White America wouldn't embrace it. Though Patwa was offered a development (if she agreed to soften up her image), she walked away from the industry.

But now, former manager Trumaine Ferguson is speaking out about Rihanna and expressing outrage about what happens when someone with money, power and fame rips you off and you can't do anything about it.

During 2010 we began generating a buzz in the underground hip hop community. This lead to a couple of meeting with some big wigs at def jam, Geffen, Atlantic and yes Roc nation who manages Rihanna. While meeting with A&Rs with these labels we were continuously told that the imagery we were trying to brand was not "lady like" was "to street", "to hood" and "to ghetto" we were told that "white America would never get behind such ignorance". Ratchetness had yet to become an accepted house hold term. The image we were trying to run with was what Patwa knew from the streets which was the doobie wrap. She wore it proudly with jeweled pins to signify she was a Queen and this was her ghetto crown. Something that many females coming from where she came from could relate to. You know when you get that hair wrapped you feel like the Bomb You just got your hair did no one could tell you nothing.

And she told us about a chance encounter with Rihanna that may have inspired her AMA look:

"Fast forward to 11/24/13 and who do I see grace my flat screen while sitting in my modest one bedroom apartment wearing a doobie wrap with jeweled pins at the AMA's. Roc nations own RiRi. I honestly felt violated. You see during 2011 Patwa and I crossed paths with Rihanna at a Roc Nation event. Rihanna, who on that evening was wearing a hairstyle that she "borrowed" from Cassie, complimented the jeweled pin wrap said it looked nice and even inquired as to who did it? We of course were flattered out of our socks and felt almost validated. Two years later it appears middle America is ready and Rihanna really liked what she saw. By no means did we invent the doobie wrap or name. However prior to the AMA's no one had attempted to wear the doobie as a hairstyle in public. No one!!!!!! I just find it very insulting that something we brought to those people was too "ghetto". But now Rihanna can accept awards while proudly displaying it. I am really hurt by this and wanted to scream."

SMH.....we share her frustration. But for other reasons.

On some level, every artist's stylist/choreographer/image consultant was inspired by someone else. Unfortunately, those "inspirations" will never get the credit they deserve. It sucks.

But what could Rihanna have done differently? Given a shout out to the hood in the middle of her acceptance speech...and to the chick she saw years ago wearing it?

Kevin Durant and Teammates at the opening of Kd’s Southern Cuisine.

Kevin Durant’s opens his first restaurant in Oklahoma City.

Twitter Slanders Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Over "Best Hip-Hop Album" AMAs Win

Admit it, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have had one hell of a year. Successful singles ranging from used clothes ("Thrift Shop") to gay rights ("Same Love") helped earn the duo a Best Rap/Hip-Hop honor at the American Music Awards Sunday (Nov. 23). Which naturally meant slander from the Twitter peanut gallery.

The Seattle natives snatched up their award via satellite from Miami, and during his acceptance speech, Macklemore quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and mentioned Trayvon Martin:

"Due to the fact that we are in Florida tonight accepting this award I want to acknowledge Trayvon Martin and the hundreds and hundreds of kids each year that are dying due to racial profiling and the violence that follows it," the rapper announced. This is really happening. These are our friends, our neighbors, our peers and our fans, and it's time that we look out for the youth and fight against racism and the laws that protect it."

Interesting timing indeed but for what it's worth, we already know that Macklemore tackles taboo issues, and isn't scared to talk about race.

From a group perspective, he and Lewis are considered "Rap/Hip-Hop" at award shows (they won a similar category at the MTV Video Music Awards), and Macklemore earned a spot XXL's Freshman Class cover in 2012. Furthermore, The Heist went platinum, and "Thrift Shop" sold over seven million copies worldwide. We can't deny the facts.

And this look is as "Hip-Hop" as it gets, no?

Also, beating out Jay Z (Magn Carta Holy Grail) and Kendrick Lamar (good kid m.a.a.d. city) doesn't come without a little slander.

Rihanna Spotted Courtside At Lakers Game

Rihanna was sitting Courtside at the Lakers game today. She was sitting next to Ari Emanuel’s son Leo, Ari is co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor (WME), an entertainment and media agency. They are kin to Rahm Emanuel the Mayor of Chicago.

There is his dad right there in black.

They are brothers and there is another brother too. They are all really powerful people.

Sadly Ari is infamous for being a racist. He gets sued at least once a month for being racist. He refused an agent at WME to let Wesley Snipes audition for a film about the navy cause he said how black peopl can’t swim. He used another word but I’m not going to say. The agent later quit and sued and settled out of court with him.

I wonder if he was based off the character on Entourage. ..?

Looks like they had fun though. Rihanna even screamed Nick Young’s name, cheering him on during the game.

Angelina Jolie: Saturday In Sydney With The Twins

Last weekend, the 38-year-old working mom was back in the States to accept a special honor at the Governors Awards.

Presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, Angelina thanked her mother, sharing, "Above all, she was very clear that nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others. And I didn't know what that meant for a long time. It was only when I began to travel and look and live beyond my home that I understand my responsibility to others."

Derrick Rose Injures Right Knee In Bulls' Loss

NBA fans experienced a scary encounter with déjà vu last night when Derrick Rose left the Chicago Bulls matchup against the Portland Trailblazers late in the third quarter with an injury to his right knee.

In case you're gasping for air, the left knee was the one with the torn ACL that kept the former MVP sidelined for the entire 2012-2013 NBA season, but the Chicago Bulls aren't taking their chances this time around.

Reports: ESPN

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose will have an MRI on the knee Saturday in Los Angeles after flying there with the team.

"He has pain and he felt like he couldn't push off his right knee," Thibodaux said.

The coach avoided speculating about the injury.

"I'm concerned. Any time anyone goes down, you're concerned," he said. "But I don't want to speculate until we get more information for you guys. We'll have more [Saturday] for you guys."

The visiting Bulls eventually fell to the Blazers with a score of 98-95.

D-Rose's return was widely celebrated within the Hip-Hop community and adidas found a way to capitalize off the movement as well.

We'll keep you updated on the results of the MRI.

Ashanti on Bethanny and she Dishes TEA on her.

Ashanti is handing out lapdances these days....since she's single and all. Peep what she had to say about her single status and why she's keeping her romantic life private...

Fab chick Ashanti brought her curves an her Momager Tina Douglas to "Bethenney" this week to talk relationships. Which means she talked about why she WON'T talk about them (which explains why she and Nelly always acted like kissing strangers). And she explained why she's happily single:

"I am, I am happy because there is so much going on and now I can focus on what I need to focus on which is my career, my music and speaking to women very powerfully.... [Relationships are] a distraction. It's kind of a distraction because it's like, 'Where are you? What time are you coming home?' Alright, but I have to go to studio. Okay, but I'm going to. You know what I mean?"

And about why she's so super secretive about her dating life:

"I think for me personally there are certain things that you want to keep to yourself, you give little hints here and there and whatever but being in the public eye you get judged on everything you do so you kind of have to have a little bit to yourself and when you feel comfortable you let little things out as they come out."

Loving the look. Ashanti will be performing live in London on December 4th at IndigO2.

Kanye West: Is leaving NIKE?

Rumors have been circulating that Kanye West would be leaving Nike and partnering with Adidas for the next edition of his highly anticipated Yeezys. During one of his speeches at the November 20th Yeezus tour stop at the Barclays Center, Kanye claimed that Nike CEO Mark Parker said he did not “even know why people like the Yeezys.” During his interview with Russ Parr, Kanye delved into some specifics on what soured his relationship with Nike and how the birth of his daughter, North West, inspired this change:

If it was for myself, I would’ve been cool just sitting in Nike, not getting no royalties. Having people line up for the Yeezys. But, when I’m having negotiations and I go look in my daughters eyes and go out and negotiate after that. Oh, y’all ain’t fitna talk to me like that. We fitna get this money.

In addition to touring and doing press runs, Mr. West has also opened up a pop-up shop in New York City on 355 Bowery. The pop-up shop will feature tour merchandise and other collector’s items from the Yeezus tour.

San Jose State Students Charged With Hate Crimes For Bullying Black Roommate

The horror of Higher Learning has come into fruition on the campus of San Jose State University. According to prosecutors, three white students have been arresting in connection for the torment and bullying of their Black roommate. While sharing the dorm, the three students banded together and decorated the room with Confederate flags, Nazi and Adolph Hitler memorabilia to make his life a living hell.

But the most shocking allegation is that they once clamped a bicycle lock around his neck, forcing him to free himself in a scary David Blaine kind of way.

Via CNN:

The three students -- Logan Beaschler, 18, of Bakersfield; Joseph Bomgardner, 19, of Clovis; and Colin Warren, 18, of Woodacre -- are charged with misdemeanor hate crime and battery, the Santa Clara district attorney's office said.

The defendants face a maximum sentence of one year in county jail if convicted, prosecutors said.

The 17-year-old roommate who was the alleged victim wasn't named by prosecutors. He suffered a minor injury when he fought off the bike lock around his neck, prosecutors said.

Outraged students immediately stormed the campus to protest. William Nance, the vice president for student affairs and Peter Decena, the University chief of police, have launched an investigation to hammer out all the facts.

Mercury News (San Jose) obtained a statement from the family of the Black student who allegedly was victimized.

As a family, we are deeply disturbed by the horrific behaviors that have taken place against our son. Our immediate focus is his protection.

We have taken a stand on this matter. Our response prompted the community to be alerted of the appalling conduct of the students involved. We appreciate the outpouring of support from our family, community and the efforts put forth by the Black Student Union of San Jose State University.

We are hopeful the District Attorney's office will take the necessary measures to ensure justice will prevail for our son.

Due to the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, we are requesting privacy.

To protect his identity and not complicate the investigation, no further comments will be made at this time.

See how the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity raise the awareness of the situation. Together they stand, divided they fix it.
