Are you as excited about this, as I am? Chris Brown is back in the scene, with a gangsta lean, and planning a “Fan of a Fan” tour with Tyga. No further details have been released, but that would be dope!

Isn’t she lovely?! (Stevie Wonder voice) Alicia Keys-Beatz was spotted with her hubby, Swizz Beatz, taking a stroll in the Tribeca area of New York City – looking great with her super pregnant self.

That’s all. She’s amazing. Carry on…

YEAH. I had the same reaction as you did. T.I. and his wife, Tiny, were arrested early this morning for alleged possession of a controlled substance. According to TMZ:

TMZ has learned they were arrested tonight and booked for the alleged possession of a controlled substance. Law enforcement sources tell us L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over the multi-platinum selling rapper and his wife in a Maybach on Sunset Boulevard around 10:30PM. Deputies say they smelled marijuana, and after searching the vehicle they arrested T.I. and Tameka. The couple just got married on July 30 in Miami, and T.I. — real name Clifford Harris Jr. — is on probation after doing seven months in prison on federal weapons charges. We’re told T.I. and Tameka are in custody right now. Bail amount is $10,000.

(UPDATE) T.I and Tiny were released around 4:00am this morning.

T.I. might have just thrown himself under the bus, too. He released a record titled “Pledge Allegiance to the Swag“, yesterday and in the song he says:

Excuse me now, but if I may make an announcement//Dont smoke no more, but when I did//I was blowing ounces

Oh, T.I.!! You silly sexy man. Click below for pics of him and his wifey getting arrested. Shout outs to Tiny and her blonde/pink hair.

I agree with Nicki Minaj on this:

“They won’t look to sign other female rappers because they’ll say, ‘Her buzz was so crazy and if she couldn’t do it, then no one can do it.’ And I don’t want that to happen, so I’m doing this as well for all the girls. I hope that with the success of the album—because I know it will be successful, I believe it will be successful—I hope that this opens doors for all of the girls everywhere.”

The HBIC was nervous stepping in the game as a solo female rapper, too:

“Even as far as I’ve come right now, it’s a testament in my mind… So I hope the female rappers will understand how big it is, just for our culture, that the album does well.”

She also expressed her excitement for Weezy’s November 5th release.

“He didn’t deserve to go in in the first place, and it’s kind of crazy how much of a void it’s been without him. We really didn’t realize that Wayne is the glue that holds Young Money and Cash Money together, I feel, so I’m just very thankful that he’s finally coming home.”

Her “Pink Friday” album is set to hit shelves November 23, 2010. #GirlPower

Friend of the Neighborhood, Ne-yo, was in a recent interview talking about why he’s choosing not to marry the woman who is carrying his first child. He speaks on her being his best friend and indeed planning the pregnancy. Clarifying that he’s just not ready to be engaged, but excited to be a father. Great interview.

Drake’s “Thank Me Later” album was anticipated to sell at least one million records in it’s first week – but only hit, a respectable, 447,000 copies. He ended up still going platinum five weeks later; Young Money CEO Cortez Bryant told VIBE magazine that it was because:

“The first week was great but [Drake] still need that big smash pop hit like we had with Wayne’s ‘Lollipop’. Wayne got his million because he had that urban side and he crossed over to that pop demographic. I believe Drake would’ve got those million sales if we would’ve had that pop record.”

Even Drake’s record with Swizz Beatz isn’t big enough:

“I don’t think ‘Fancy’ is that pop record either. It’ll go so far, but when we drop ‘Show Me A Good Time’ in September— that has the potential to be that big record.”

But Drake’s been diligently in the studio – and word on the streets is that his next album may come as early as December of this year! Yeah! Hit that milli, Drizzy!

The Madame Tussauds wax museum in Washington, D.C just put up this waxed twin version of Rihanna on display earlier today. Is it cliche if I say it looks EXACTLY like her?!
