Jennifer Hudson's Future Looks Bright!

Jennifer Hudson stepped out with a smile to do some shopping in LA over the weekend. While it must have been hard for her to leave Chicago in the aftermath of her family tragedy, it's nice to see her looking like she's in good spirits back in California. We're looking forward to Jennifer's upcoming performances including before the Super Bowl and at next month's Grammy Awards. Jennifer will also be up for four trophies, so hopefully we'll be able to see more of that smile in the beginning of 2009.

The Source Magazine says NO MORE Porn!!!



Hip hop magazine makes effort to clean up image.

Hip hop magazine heavy-weight The Source took steps to break a long standing relationship between hip hop and the porn industry by no longer running ads for pornographic movies, adult web sites or escort services.

The long running adult ads also known as “booty ads” featuring scantily-clad women are now banned from the Source’s pages and its web site.

Said the co-publisher, “I realize the risk that we’re taking. But we don’t want to just glorify the lowest-hanging fruit.” “There’s a lot of people that want hip-hop but don’t want some of the filth that some of the business carries with it.”

Several critics cited the Magazine only decided to discontinue “booty ads” after many pornography businesses went bankrupt during the economic downturn and the demand for those type ads were drastically reduced.

Said one reader, “They just some hypocrites because they sold those ads forever until the economy tanked. Let’s see if they continue their high-and-mighty stance when the economy recovers and those ad dollars go to their competitors”.

Kanye West: A Bisexual


Recently Kanye West said he may do a nude photoshoot, and when he was asked about it...



In an interview with writer David Watts for KING magazine, West said that he may produce a softcore porn movie as a companion piece to his new disc 808 & Heartbreak and that singer added that he is not above performing in this film.

“I know people will find that as another thing to hate me on, but fuck it,” West said. “I’m open to doing porn. Hell, I’ll even do bisexual scenes - myself, another man and a woman, or just me and two women. I know people will find that as some weird shit, but I am who I am.”

West’s latest revelation follows an interview with Vibe magazine in which he stated that he would one day pose nude simply to fuck with hip-hop and black culture.

West told KING: “I’m an artist. Artist expand; they don’t contract. What do I look like staying confined in one space with all my talent? I’m an icon.”

Malaysia wants to BAN Rihanna from the country!!!



The country's conservative Islamic party have called for the 20-year-old American to be banned for her provocative stagewear.

They say Rihanna's skimpy outfits from her "Good Girl Gone Bad" tour would be an insult to Asian values.

But even if the Umbrella star reined in her sexy clothing, it seems global politics also threaten her chances of playing the Southeast Asia federation on February 13.

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic party (PAS) has led protests against the US over its support for Israel.

One of the party's youth leaders warned potential concertgoers that buying tickets would help boost America's war chest.

"Whether Rihanna realises it or not, we know that the taxes she has paid also contributed to the war in Gaza," Kamaruzaman Mohamad told Malay newspaper the Star daily.

The event was "akin to insulting Eastern culture, belittling local artistes, internationally causing losses to the country's economy and supporting Israel's war policy," he said.

Kamaruzaman urged authorities who hand out concert permits in the country to block the application.

The concert's sponsor told the daily that Rihanna has agreed to follow local regulations for her performance but did not give details.

Rihanna (real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty) is not the first big star to face such flack.

Last year, US singer Beyonce scrapped a planned concert in Malaysia due to protest fears.

In 2006 the Pussycat Dolls were slapped with a £2,000 fine for falling foul of the country's decency laws.
