Eminem Goes Double Diamond!!
"More than a month after his 2002 album 'The Eminem Show' was certified diamond, the Detroit rapper has achieved the same milestone with another release. Slim Shady's third studio album 'The Marshall Mathers LP' -- released eleven years -- has gone diamond, with the album shipping more than 10 million units.
The album, released on May 23, 2000, was an international success upon its release. Landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the controversial effort hit the top of the international charts and subsequently reached platinum status in almost two-dozen countries. Upon its Stateside release, it sold 1.76 million in its first week, becoming the fastest-selling rap album in history.
Additionally, 'Marshall' racked up several accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2001. Fueled by singles 'Stan,' 'The Way I Am' and 'The Real Slim Shady,' it was later ranked at No. 302 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and was also included on similar lists in Q Magazine, Time Magazine and Complex Magazine.
Eminem most recently released his seventh studio album 'Recovery' last year. The LP bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 741,000 copies in its first week and later becoming the best-selling digital album of all time. It also won the rapper his sixth Grammy for Best Rap Album."

Wiz And Kanye In Fisticuffs Over Amber Rose???
Okay, so everyone knows that Hip Hop ___________________ (insert whatever it is she does here) Amber Rose used to be with Yeezy, and now she's with Wiz righ'?
Now, at the recent Coachella concert Kanye performed a two hour set, which was dedicated to his Mother (R.I.P.), and whilst performing his hit 'Stronger', Yeezy changed the words a lil' bit from-
"I’ll do anything for a blonde dike and she’ll do anything if the times right"
to
"I did anything for that blonde dike and she did anything when the times right"
Amber was apparently standing not too far away at the time and new boytoy Wiz took offence to the remix and confronted Yeezy as he exited stage left.
Sources at Mediatakeout.com say that Wiz, being the peacful weed smoking dude that he is, just wanted to holla at Yeezy about stopping all the pettiness that has been going around, but 'Ye wasn't interested and a small melee insued with both entourages and security getting involved in a massive pushing match, which didn't really amount to anything!
Now we all know Kanye's attitude and I'm pretty sure he doesn't really give a f**k 'romantically' about Amber anymore and isn't short of attention from other willing females, Wiz on the other hand seems to be quite loved up so I can respect him standing up for his lady. Either way I personally think Wiz just needs to thank Yeezy for re-upholstering Ambers 'you know what' and they can all live happily ever after...

Pauly D To Sign With G Unit
"Jersey Shore" star DJ Pauly D already scored his own spin-off from the hit MTV show, but now he's in talks for a record deal with none other than 50 Cent.
According to TMZ, Pauly D met with the rapper last week in New York to discuss being signed to his G-Unit label. 50 Cent is reportedly eager to sign the star to his label and is reportedly working out a lucrative three-album deal.
The deal with Pauly D would not only include music but merchandise as well. Among the the possibilities being tossed around for the DJ Pauly D brand include headphones and more.
DJ Pauly D, who's currently the resident DJ at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, could be signed before he heads to Italy to film the fourth season of "Jersey Shore." His spin-off is slated to start production later in the year and will air in 2012.
DJ Pauly D has only released one track so far as an artist. "Beat Dat Beat (It's Time To)" was released a single last year and appeared on the "Jersey Shore" soundtrack

Sunday Afternoon Vybin': NLT- That Girl
So I'm roaming through YouTube to find a tune for Sunday Afternoon Vybin', and all of a sudden 'NLT' pops in to my head! So I search them, find them, and begin to watch the video.
Now, the group were originally signed to TUG Entertainment (Chris Stokes' label) and recorded songs with Timbaland also. The song being was played onthe home of Hip Hop and RnB Choice Fm, and although the quartet began to drum up interest an album never materialised and the four went their seperate ways.
Anyway, so I'm watching the video and start to think one of the dudes looks madd familiar. After a Wikipedia search my assumptions were proved right with one of the members being the dude in Glee in the wheelchair, Kevin McHale, so he really can sing (he sings lead on the second verse...).
Anyway, here's the vid... Enjoy! (I've thrown in the Timbaland joint too)

LeBron James Buys Stake In Liverpool FC
Before I start let me just say, LeBron, you chose the wrong team...
"LeBron James has acquired a minority stake in Liverpool after the two-time NBA most valuable player's sports marketing firm entered into a partnership with Fenway Sports Group.
Fenway Sports Management, the marketing arm of FSG that acquires sponsorships for FSG properties, will team up with LRMR to find global marketing and sponsorship opportunities for James, one of the sporting world's most recognisable people.
As part of the agreement, James will acquire an interest in Liverpool FC, ranked as the sixth most valuable football team in the world by Forbes.
Both parties declined to provide financial details or the size of James stake in the Premier League club".
So there you have it! He has not directly bought in to Liverpool because if he had done his research.... I'll stop there lol
