TUPAC ON BROADWAY!*^&)$ I kid you not!

I kid you not! “Holler If Ya Hear Me,” a jukebox musical inspired by rap icon Tupac Shakur, will hit Broadway this year.

“Holler,” the gritty slice of urban life will be the first out of the gate, when it begins performances on May 26, 2014, before officially opening at the Palace Theatre on June 19, 2014.

Seriously, a TUPAC musical! WTF?!

“Holler” will lean heavily on Shakur’s music and lyrics, but the show will not be a biography about the late rapper’s rise to the top of the charts. Instead it will tell a different story about street-life, producers said. Shakur died in 1996 from multiple gunshot wounds he received in a Las Vegas drive-by-shooting. :(

 Kenny Leon (“A Raisin in the Sun”) will direct the show, while Todd Kreidler (“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner“) will write the book. The rapper’s mother, Afeni Shakur, is one of the show’s producers.


Casting for the production will be announced at a later date.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE: A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAGINAS

Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is set to take part in an event called A Night Of A Thousand Vaginas.

The evening is being put on by reproductive rights group A Is For and will raise money for the Texas Abortion Fund. 

A Night Of A Thousand Vaginas will take place at the Largo comedy theatre in Los Angeles on January 19. The event will be hosted by Parks and Recreation actress Retta and comedy writer Laura Kightlinger and will also see appearances from comedians Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman, Steve Agee, Jen Kirkman and Tiffany Haddish.

Meanwhile, Homme recently said that his band will record the follow-up to 2013's '...Like Clockwork' later this year..  
"Absolutely.  We're booked 'til September, but after that we plan to jump in the studio and get going," said the singer.

About spending time in the studio, Homme explained: "When it's time to make music, that's about getting lost for me. To be a control freak is not half as good as being a freak who's casually in control. You're feeling around in the dark for something that feels good. As long as you're not in an orgy, that can be an amazing moment."


BRIGHT EYES ACCUSED OF RAPING A 16 YEAR OLD

Let me start off by saying I DON”T BELIEVE IT! So, an anonymous person recently accused Bright Eyes of rape and he was like, NO WAY JOSE!

Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst has issued a statement in response to an online blog post from an anonymous user, who claims she was raped by him.

Last month, an unnamed commenter responded to an article on the website XOJane detailing what is was like to date an abusive rock star. She said: "I was raped by a 'rock star' myself. I was 16 years old, he was in his 20s. No one believed me (he wasn’t even that famous then)."

She later claimed that the "rock star" she was talking about was Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst. She then wrote that she met the singer through her English teacher who was Oberst's brother, and claimed that she was given to the moody singer as a 16th birthday present, (Oh shit!) which is when she alleges she was raped. A Tumblr user subsequently re-published the series of posts and it has since gone viral. Cause people LOVE bullshit!

In her post, the commenter says she regrets not telling anyone about the alleged incident at the time, but says she didn't think anyone would believe her.

Oberst’s publicist responded to the claims: 
"Usually we wouldn't feel the urge to comment on spurious blog chatter but the recent allegations made about Conor Oberst by an anonymous commenter on the xoJane website are flagrant enough to demand our response. This individual's accusations are absolutely, unequivocally false. Unfortunately, the internet allows for groundless statements like this to travel the world before the truth has any time to surface. This is a particularly serious and sickening allegation and there is no truth to it. Conor has nothing but abhorrence for the perpetrators of crimes of sexual violence. The behavior attributed to him by this individual is in direct opposition to his principles. Conor is consulting with a libel attorney regarding this matter."

LILY ALLEN: KISSING MYLEY'S ASS AND YES, ANOTHER TWERKING VIDEO!


First of all, white girls need to regroup and have a brainstorm! Sooo over every blonde pop star and their twerking black background dancers. Look at me I'm the blond white one that stands out! Can you see me?!  

Lily Allen has said that she would be interested in working with Miley Cyrus, citing the US popstar's album 'Bangerz' as one of her favorite albums of the year. 
The news may come as a surprise to some, who have suggested that Allen's controversial 'Hard Out Here' video is a spoof on Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop' video. You can see it below:
However, in a new interview with the British Press, the British pop singer reveals she is a big fan of "funny, witty and clever" Cyrus, who she recently met in Los Angeles.
Also, no one really cares about Lilly Allen and she prob thinks if she rubs elbows with Cyrus maybe the rest of the world will give two shits about her here in America. 
Speaking about her Cyrus, Allen says: "I do really like Miley. She’s funny, witty and clever, I love what she does. I think her and Lorde’s album have had the most plays in my car this year. I never went on record saying the video was a direct pop at her – it wasn’t."

Blah blah, kiss ass... Don't get me wrong, she's hot and she's got some talent, just not the big ass marketing powerhouse that will make her do ridiculous shit in order to gain global fame. Lets face it, she don't need to kick it with Miley, she just needs to get naked or piss some minorities off! 
Since its release, Allen has defended both 'Hard Out Here' and its accompanying video, which shows her dancing with a group of black dancers in a spoof of hip-hop music video troops. Part of the video has been picked up on by some critics, who claim that using black dancers to gyrate explicitly around a white singer, albeit ironically, is not acceptable. 
Are you fucking kidding me?! Not Ag-fuckingain!? In case you didn't know there's another artist who has also applied these antics in her videos before Miley. Check out Lil Debbie's video, 'Ratchets' right below: 

Allen, who is currently Number One with her version of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know, said: "Anyone who knows me, or follows me on Twitter, knows I love that girl more than anything."She’s probably way too busy for someone like me but yeah, I’d welcome the opportunity to work with her."



CYPRESS HILL HAS NEW SICK SHIT FOR YOU

OMG Becky! Almost time to bust out the blunts cause the hip-hop group Cypress HIll is preparing something wicked, and no I'm not insane in the membrane. The rappers' last album, Till Death Do Us Part, was released in 2004, and now B-Real, Sen Dog and producer DJ Muggs are working on its follow up at the Soul Assassins Studio in Los Angeles, with a late spring release date expected.
  
The three original Cypress Hill members have all embarked on solo projects in the intermittent years, but the new album will mark their first album together in 10 years.

"We're in the beginning stages but moving along smoothly," B-Real says in a statement. "The sound is anti-everything that's popular and is in a world of its own. The lyrics delivered with the vocal tenacity of a stoned gypsy roaming across the country through the mist. The date of the release is encrypted on the Cypress Hill website."

Meanwhile, Sen Dog adds: "Working on the new album with Muggs and B and listening to Muggs' production for the first time in a long while is definitely motivating and reconnecting me to our Cypress roots. This reminds me of what a great hip-hop producer Muggs is and how unique the Cypress chemistry and sound is. I expect big things from this album, and I'm excited for what we have coming in the near future."

   

OPEN LETTER FROM BEASTIE BOYS' MIKE D & ADROCK TO GOLDIEBLOX: DON'T TOUCH OUR SHIT!

Don't use our shit! is what they're really trying to say. But I have a feeling that lawsuit or not, Goldieblox are going to get their blocks shoved up you know where if they don't play nice with these east coast rappers.
