I had a blast at the Core DJ's Retreat in Atl this weekend. This also went down at the event/ Red Cafe and Diddy close to a deal.

This is huge for New York City and hopefully big for hip-hop as a whole: Diddy is close to signing another super lyricist from Brooklyn and going in with Akon on the project. On Wednesday (April 29), Diddy released a vlog on his P.TwittyTV YouTube channel announcing that Red Cafe is just about officially on Bad Boy.


"I know the word is bubbling in the streets," Diddy said in the video. "We're in final negotiations with Shakedown [Records] for Red Cafe, for him to be on Bad Boy, also associated Akon and Konvict music. The ink's not dry but we feel comfortable enough to drop this new remix, the 'Hottest in the Hood' remix."


Red's been signed to Akon's Konvict for quite some time, and recently Diddy got in on the action. All three were in Atlanta over the weekend at the Core DJs retreat, where they debuted the remix, which features Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Fabolous, OJ Da Juiceman and Diddy.

PD and Red are immediately planning to put material out. A new Red mixtape with Diddy's heavy involvement is coming soon.

"The new mixtape is on the way," Red told MTV News recently. "This new mixtape is gonna be so tough. It's hosted by Diddy; it's gonna be crazy. Something special. You gonna have freestyles on there, original records on there you never heard. ... Every record on here is brand new. Everything was designed totally for this tape. The people are gonna soak this up crazy. Puff is gonna be on there doing what he do, screaming and hollering and banging for the project, because he's married to it. He likes what we're doing. He said 'I wanna be a part of it. I like what you're doing. I'm gonna host your joint for you.'"

Red is hoping to drop his album later this year as well. Between his street album and the official label release, he's worked with Ross, Jada, OJ Da Juiceman, Fabolous, Maino, T-Pain, G-Unit and, of course, Akon.

"The album, I definitely gotta take care of the streets," said Red, a veteran in the rap game. "My core, they've been riding with me for however long, but my core wants to see me take it to the next level. I wanna deliver those next-level records to make sure we stay in the penthouse, not the lobby. I think they wanna see that growth. You spoon-feed them, you don't wanna jump all the way out the there. They might be a little afraid of that. I try to find a nice medium."

Red has rapped along the best of the best throughout his career, but he's never been able to get the right backing to put out the album his following has wanted. Diddy says Red has nothing to worry about anymore.

"I'm like a bully," Diddy said on his video blog. "Y'all know what time it's gonna be when that ink dries. We're gonna go crazy. Nobody does it like us. We're gonna have a good time."

Are we alone in this universe? Some dont think so...

(CNN) -- Earth Day may fall later this week, but as far as former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell and other UFO enthusiasts are concerned, the real story is happening elsewhere.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, shown after his Apollo mission in 1971, claims there "is no doubt we are being visited."

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, shown after his Apollo mission in 1971, claims there "is no doubt we are being visited."

Mitchell, who was part of the 1971 Apollo 14 moon mission, asserted Monday that extraterrestrial life exists, and that the truth is being concealed by the U.S. and other governments.

He delivered his remarks during an appearance at the National Press Club following the conclusion of the fifth annual X-Conference, a meeting of UFO activists and researchers studying the possibility of alien life forms.

Mankind has long wondered if we're "alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we're not alone," Mitchell said.

"Our destiny, in my opinion, and we might as well get started with it, is [to] become a part of the planetary community. ... We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there."

Mitchell grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, which some UFO believers maintain was the site of a UFO crash in 1947. He said residents of his hometown "had been hushed and told not to talk about their experience by military authorities." They had been warned of "dire consequences" if they did so.
Don't Miss

* Dog walker 'met man from another planet'
* Hundreds of 'alien' aircraft sightings

But, he claimed, they "didn't want to go to the grave with their story. They wanted to tell somebody reliable. And being a local boy and having been to the moon, they considered me reliable enough to whisper in my ear their particular story."

Roughly 10 years ago, Mitchell claimed, he was finally given an appointment at Pentagon to discuss what he had been told.

An unnamed admiral working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff promised to uncover the truth behind the Roswell story, Mitchell said. The stories of a UFO crash "were confirmed," but the admiral was then denied access when he "tried to get into the inner workings of that process."

The same admiral, Mitchell claimed, now denies the story.

"I urge those who are doubtful: Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on. Because there really is no doubt we are being visited," he said.

"The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far-reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time."

A NASA spokesman denied any cover-up.

"NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover-up about alien life on this planet or anywhere else -- period," Michael Cabbage said Monday.

Debates have continued about what happened at Roswell. The U.S. Air Force said in 1994 that wreckage recovered there in 1947 was most likely from a balloon-launched classified government project.

Stephen Bassett, head of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG), which hosted the X-Conference, said that the truth about extraterrestrial life is being suppressed because it is politically explosive.

"There is a third rail [in American politics], and that is the UFO question. It is many magnitudes more radioactive than Social Security ever dreamed to be," Bassett said.

So I guess Miss Califonia and Perez Hilton Got Beef Now?

Last night Kristen Dalton of North Carolina was named Miss USA 2009, but no one really cares. The real highlight of the event was Carrie Prejean, Miss California, being questioned by judge Perez Hilton about gay marriage. Here is the transcript of the exchange:

PEREZ: Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?

CARRIE: I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.

She clearly came down on the side of "opposite marriage," basically saying "no offense but your lifestyle isn't valid." I'm guessing Perez didn't give her his vote, but Carrie still managed to finish as first runner up in the pageant.

Perez later video-blogged about the incident calling her a "dumb bitch."

UPDATE 2:15p: Carrie Prejean went on the "Billy Bush Show" today and told the host that her sister is a "gay rights activist." She's not gay but she "supports gay people, she supports gay marriage. My beliefs have nothing to do with my sister or my mom, or whatever." The contestant also said her sister was not upset by her answer to Perez Hilton's question...

Chris Breezy to be arraigned today! Good Luck Brotha!

Two months after an alleged altercation with girlfriend Rihanna that resulted in his arrest, singer Chris Brown, 19, is due in court Monday (April 6) to be arraigned on felony charges of assault and making criminal threats.

Brown, who has kept a relatively low profile since his February 8 arrest, is also expected to enter a plea at today's arraignment, which is a formal reading of the criminal complaint against the singer.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles District Attorney's office reached prior to the appearance said that the court did not know if Brown's attorneys would enter a plea on Monday or ask for another extension.

Sandi Gibbons, the spokesperson for the DA's office, said that it is up to the court to decide what sentence Brown will face, but that sentencing guidelines call for anything from probation to probation with jail time, up to a maximum of four years and eight months in federal prison.

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, did not return calls for comment at press time.

Quoting an anonymous source, TMZ reported Sunday that Brown's lawyer and the prosecutor in the case have been engaged in "serious" plea-bargain negotiations and are close to reaching a deal. The site also claimed that Brown will plead not guilty in the case, though the plea could be just a formality. Other unidentified sources reportedly told the site that Rihanna has said very clearly that she does not want to testify against Brown and wants him to cop a plea. The sources said she traveled to her home island of Barbados over the weekend to get as far away from the case as possible.

Though she's not required to be present at the arraignment and is not expected to attend, Rihanna's attorney has said that she is planning on being a cooperating witness in the case and, if subpoenaed, will testify against Brown.

After reportedly reconciling last month, the couple have not been seen together in public for several weeks. Brown did not enter a plea at his arraignment on March 5, where his lawyer asked for a continuance in the case. If Rihanna refuses to testify, experts have said it could jeopardize the case because her statements to police can only be used against Brown if she agrees to provide testimony.

Gibbons said that if Brown enters a plea at the arraignment, the next step in the process would be a preliminary hearing, at which time the prosecutor will present the state's evidence and Brown's attorneys would have a chance to examine the evidence and make motions and cross-examine the witnesses. At the end of that hearing, the judge typically determines if there is sufficient evidence to move the case to trial.

Among the evidence prosecutors will likely introduce is a copy of a disturbing police report detailing the timeline of the alleged altercation, which was reportedly set off when Rihanna found a text message on Brown's phone from a woman with whom the singer had a previous sexual relationship.

Season 5 of the hill starts Monday April 6th (Lets see if spencer wilds out this season...lol)

Season Five kicks off as Lauren gets the ultimate surprise when Stephanie brings Heidi to her birthday party. Lauren realizes their friendship may never be what it once was as long as Spencer is still in the picture, but will a tearful reunion bring them back together?

Heidi thought Spencer was ready to grow up when he called off their quickie marriage to give her a dream wedding. But when a guys' night out ends with Spencer hitting on a beautiful bartender and beating up his sister's ex-boyfriend, Heidi must ask herself once and for all - is Spencer the guy who makes her happy, or simply the cause of all her problems?

After Justin finally told Audrina he wanted to settle down, she surprised everyone by moving on without him. She's trying hard to keep him out of her life, but he's the kind of guy a girl never gets over. It is only a matter of time before he throws Audrina's life into turmoil again. But now she's on the hunt for a new guy, and someone that no one expected catches her eye, could that mean Justin is out of the picture for good?

This season is all about moving forward and leaving the past behind, not knowing what the future will hold. New romances, old enemies, and enduring friendships will all come together to change life in The Hills forever.

Season Five of The Hills premieres Monday, April 6th with more unforgettable surprises than ever.

This season seems like more and more drama!!!

Eminem talks new video and album release

Major news! With Eminem’s sixth album, Relapse, around the corner (it’s due May 19), and the accompanying single, “We Made You,” just days from release, we nabbed a super-exclusive interview with the man who has become hip-hop’s most notorious living spitter.

We catch up with Em after a five-year hiatus from the spotlight — a hiatus during which he’s battled addiction, lost Kim to a second divorce and lost his best friend, DeShaun “Proof” Holton to gun violence. But Marshall Mathers is a survivor. We’ve known that from day one, when he broke out of the obscurity portrayed in 8 Mile to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the rap game. In other words, he’s seen too much in this life to let tragedy disrupt his flow.

In the clip below, that same force — now a flat-out legend — checks in from the set of “We Made You,” the Relapse single slated for an MTV premiere on Tuesday (April 7). From the comfort of a chair next to a console that looks like it could be part of the Star Trek set, what looks like a brown-haired (!!!) Em, minus the baby fat, fills us in on his choice to re-enlist the services of video director Joseph Kahn (Britney Spears, Chris Brown, 50 Cent, U2). Apparently the “Without Me” director is particularly attuned to the essence of Eminem, making him the perfect choice to guide Em out of hiatus and into a fresh video incarnation of his trademark sound.

Em also gets into the psychology of “We Made You,” revealing it to be a mind game designed to seduce every woman alive. Watch, love and get hyped for Eminem’s exclusive MTV video premiere of “We Made You” on Tuesday!

Lil Wayne Sues DJ Drama?!

I dont know what to say about this but heres the vid

Jamie Foxx got a stalker!

For Jamie Foxx, it was Law Abiding Citizen by day and security guard by night.

The Oscar winner got the better of an intruder in his Philadelphia hotel suite last month after the man tricked him into opening the door by posing as one of Beyoncé's producers.

After realizing he didn't know the man, Foxx managed to keep him from fully entering the room and slammed the door.

The suspect fled the scene, but the law ultimately caught up with him.

Steven Taliver, 49, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stalking and other charges after Foxx's security team noticed the very same man who allegedly tried to bust into the actor's room hanging around near the set of Foxx's next movie, Law Abiding Citizen, and called the cops.

Philadelphia police confirmed to E! News Thursday that a trespassing incident did occur March 22 at the AKA Hotel in Rittenhouse Square, but would not divulge whether Foxx was the victim of an attempted burglary.

"There was an arrest," a police spokesman said. "There was an incident. Someone was in an area they weren't supposed to be...inside the hotel."

He denied that a physical confrontation occurred, but sources have told Philadelphia's CBS 3 that Taliver had tried to break into Foxx's room three times—March 22, 27 and 31—and on one of those occasions, Foxx forcibly removed the intruder from the room himself and slammed the door in his face.

A rep for Foxx, who was busy Thursday promoting his latest film, The Soloist, refused to comment, citing the ongoing legal matter.

In addition to stalking, Taliver was also charged with burglary, making criminal threats, false imprisonment and harassment.

Wireless Carriers Could Send the Virtual Repo Man to Freeze Your Computer, If You Don't Pay Your Bills


As wireless carriers begin to subsidize computers that come with wireless Internet access, they're faced with a quandary: What do they do if the buyer stops paying his bills?

The company can cut off the computer's wireless access, but the carrier would still be out a couple of hundred dollars. The buyer would be left with a computer that's fully usable except for cellular broadband.

LM Ericsson AB, the Swedish company that makes many of the modems that go into laptops, announced Tuesday that its new modem will deal with this issue by including a feature that's virtually a wireless repo man. If the carrier has the stomach to do so, it can send a signal that completely disables the computer, making it impossible to turn on.

"We call it a `kill pill,'" said Mats Norin, Ericsson's vice president of mobile broadband modules.

The module will work on AT&T Inc.'s U.S. third-generation network, and on many other 3G networks overseas.

AT&T late last year started subsidizing small laptops known as "netbooks," which normally cost about $400, so that RadioShack Corp. can sell them for $100. The buyer commits to paying $60 per month for two years for AT&T's wireless broadband access. Such offers have become very common in Europe.

It's unlikely that carriers would resort to wielding the "kill pill." But the technology, developed with Intel Corp., has other uses. For instance, a company could secure its data by locking down stolen laptops wirelessly. Lenovo Group Ltd. has said it will build this sort of feature into its laptops.

The new Ericsson modem can also stay active while a computer is off, listening for wireless messages. That means it could wake up and alert the user when it receives an important e-mail, or if someone is calling with a conferencing application like Skype.

Laptop makers that use Ericsson modules include LG Electronics Inc., Dell Inc., Toshiba Corp. and Lenovo.

The New Wolverine Movie Got Leaked!

20th Century Fox's claws are bared.

The studio has vowed to prosecute whomever is responsible for a full-length copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine ending up online Tuesday, a month ahead of its May 1 release date.

"We forensically mark our content so we can identify sources that make it available or download it," Fox said today in a statement. "The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law—the courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts."

The FBI and Motion Picture Association of America are investigating, they said.

Calling the leaked cut an "incomplete and early version" of the Hugh Jackman-starring action film, the studio said it only contained temporary sound and music and was missing various scenes and special effects.

So don't go thinking the actual Wolverine is going to suck or anything.

"We are encouraged," Fox continued, "by the support of fansites condemning piracy and this illegal posting and pointing out that such theft undermines the enormous efforts of the filmmakers and actors and, above all, hurts fans of the film."

But, according to one studio exec, they aren't too concerned that a premature Internet audience is going to steal the X-Men prequel's theatrical thunder.

"People who are going to download and watch it on their computer were either never going to pay to see it anyway or they're the type of super-fan who was going to go 10 times in the first week," a Fox honcho tells EW.com.

"Seeing a spectacle movie like this one on your computer is not the same as seeing with a communal audience, and I don't think this is going to hurt them that much."
