Lady Gaga

By Souleo. Wyclef Jean announced he is running for president of Haiti and Sean Penn ain't having it; Queen Latifah ignites gay rumors once again; Lady Gaga admits the obvious (drug use); nominations for MTV's Video Music Awards create a battle of the Stans; and a proposed mosque near the 9/11 site leads to major controversy.  It's all here in this week's round-up.  Don't be scared.

Sean Penn Challenges Wyclef Jean's Presidential Bid

Wyclef Jean's announcement that he is running to be the president of Haiti in the aftermath of the country's natural disaster has elicited a range of reactions: surprise, hope and suspicion.  Actor, Sean Penn has had the latter reaction as he called out Wyclef for allegedly mishandling $400,000 of his Yele Haiti charity (Wyclef has since stepped down from the organization) and questioning if he really has the ability to make a difference.  Hmmm, food for thought.

"the fact remains that Haiti needs someone who understands politics and is ready to give his life for his country. Haiti needs a president who actually resides on the island and not someone who will fly in every 6 months. I think it's ridiculous that anyone thinks Wyclef Jean is qualified to run a nation when he couldn't even run his own business affairs. His own band member (who is also Haitian) refuses to endorse him."

Is This What a "Straight" Woman Does?

For years Queen Latifah has beat around the bush (no pun intended) when it comes to allegations that she is a lesbian.  Well, the cat may be out of the bag this time (again, no pun intended) with these recent pictures of her and personal trainer/"friend" Jeanette Jenkins embracing on a yacht.  As this commenter notes few are surprised at the pictures and many would support the Queen if she is in fact a lesbian and comes on out..

"now who didn't know Cleo was a lesbian?? C'mon son! LOL! Do you Queen! That's her business!"

Lady Gaga Admits Drug Use

Here she goes again, grabbing headlines with one of her "shocking" revelations.  Well, I can't say I was super surprised by Lady Gaga admitting she "occasionally" snorts cocaine in an interview with Vanity Fair.  I mean after all she doesn't come across as a little conservative homemaker.  Still, the commenter below is quite funny for their reaction to the news.

The Stans Can't Take It!

MTV's Video Music Award nominees were recently announced and while Lady Gaga nabbed a historic 13 nominations for the year, it is the nominations surrounding Beyonce and Rihanna that has Stans acting a fool on the blogs.  It is so hilarious when the Stans defend celebrities like it's their mama.

"Beyonce got 8 Noms while sitting on her a** while Rihanna working and falling on stage only got 1 lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What are your thoughts on Beyonce's video for "Video Phone" (remix) featuring the outlandish Lady Gaga? Which one of the diva's do you think killed it?

JimmyJazz.com addressed that Wale is “fly” in his Nike Boots in our Blog post last month, and now we can say the same for his debut album, Attention Deficit. Being named “the greatest rapper since Jay-Z,” by GQ magazine, Wale has some huge shoes to fill. The Washington D.C., native is not trying to be politically correct.  Lyrically speaking, the rapper goes hard. The DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) rep and fan of “Go-Go” music discusses self insecurities, triumph, success, and love.

Ladies may refer to him as Mr. Never-Wear-Same-Thing, Attention Deficit delivers a raw emotion that Wale expresses only a woman can deliver. Female sensations Lady Gaga, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, Melanie Fiona and sampled Rihanna assist the visionary.

The mind of a listener is short. Wale wants to change the way music is heard.

The man that landed on Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak, singing the track "Welcome to Heartbreak", and helping with songwriting on "Heartless" and "Paranoid," Scott Mescudi is now set to tackle is own mission. Better recognized as Kid Cudi, this rapper-singer explores his inner thoughts with dark, edgy, and futuristic melodies in Man On The Moon: The End of Day. 

Cudi’s sound does stand alone from other hip-hop stars. The debut single “Day n’ Night,” introduces his vision. But collectively, it works. The Cleveland native can give thanks to acts like Andre 3000’s Love Below, and Ye’ for opening that door. The duo, along with lyric legend Common, makes a hit on latest single “Make Her Say.” Originally titled “I Poke Her Face,” but changed for radio play.  The song also contains a vocal sample of “Poker Face,” by pop phenomenon, Lady Gaga.

The opening “In My Dreams,” is an eye-opener into the world, according to Cudi.  It follows with “Soundtrack 2 My Life,” where his life stories began to unfold. "Cudder" tells aspiring dreams to horrific nightmares. His imagination may be difficult to grasp but worth exploring the journey and figuring it out.  

Favorite tracks: "Soundtrack 2 My Life", "Sky Might Fall, and Alive (Nightmare)"
