2006 VMAs: No Love for H-Town
Wednesday. 8.30.06 9:19 am
Cham performs at pre-VMAs Ceremony
As you probably know by now, the Video Music Awards will be televised live on MTV Thursday night (August 31st, 2006). Proudly representing Houston at this year's VMAs--Beyonce and Chamillionaire.
That's it.
Beyonce is up for "Best R & B Video" ("Check on It") while Chamillionaire's nominated in the "Best Rap Video" category for that monster of jam known as "Ridin'".
Is it just me or is there a big oversight here? Three-6-Mafia's "Stay Fly" is categorized as Hip-Hop while "Ridin'"--which Bun and Pimp should really be receiving royalty checks for--is labeled "Rap" in the VMA nominations list. I wonder if the difference has anything to do with the amount of coke references in per song / video.
Anyhow, Paul Wall's "Sittin' Sidewayz" should have had a shot. And how come Chamillionaire isn't nominated for "Best New Artist"? Regardless, you should probably watch this year's VMAs. Some crazy stuff always happens. Maybe Jay-Z and Beyonce will make out on stage this time.

Beyonce to Marry Jay-Z in November?
Wednesday. 8.30.06 9:25 am
Word on the street is that Jay-Z and Beyonce plan on spending $3 million on a lavish wedding slated for November.
According to these guys, the wedding is set to go down in the Caribbean island of Anguilla:
Beyonce Knowles is pulling out all the stops for her wedding. The Dreamgirls star is set to wed rap impresario Jay Z, and the lavish event will come with a $3 million price tag, according to Star magazine. The former Destiny’s Child member is planning a late November wedding on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. Guests will dine on $300,000 worth of caviar as well as lobster and truffles and will wash it down with $200 bottles of Dom Perignon.
I'll keep my hands crossed on this one until it's validated elsewhere. Not saying that there's no truth to it, it's just that these marriage rumors have been going on forever. You'd think that by now celeb-gossip media would have upgraded the conversation to how many kids these two have had together.
Speaking of which, what are you thoughts on Jayonce's latest collaboration, Upgrade U, taken from B'Day?

Hov Stepping Down From Def Jam?
Wednesday. 8.30.06 9:31 am
Is Hov chunkin' the duece to Def Jam?
Rumors are flying this morning about Jay-Z leaving his Presidential post over at Def Jam. He signed a three-year contract two years ago, so he does have one more year to fulfill. But sources are saying there is no word about a contract renewal or even him negotiating a renewal. Some other folks are sayin that he wants to go ahead and let the contract run out so that he can leave and take the reins over at Atlantic Records. Others are saying that his main chick Beyonceprobably had something to do with him stepping down. A very unreliable source states that B told him to either leave Def Jam (since she's tired of his close working relationship with Rihanna) or find a new girlfriend. Yet another rumor is that the higher ups at Universal Records fired him because he's not doing much in the figurehead position, but they're allowing him to exit by saying he is "stepping down."
Some high level exec sources over at Def Jam are sayin' all of this talk of him stepping down/leaving is just a rumor that has taken off to the masses, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rumor turns out true in part. He may not be leaving Def Jam completely, but he may just be giving up his Presidential Oval office. He might just want to focus on his own music and/or his proteges'. Regardless of the truth, is it really a good move for Hov to leave his post? Speak on it Fam...
