DeSean Jackson Boo'd Up With Porn Star Michelle Maylene? (Pics) (@deaseanjackson10 @michellemaylene)



Desean Jackson has been all up in the news lately after it was learned that the woman cruising with Justin Bieber at the time of his epic bust for drag racing, DUI, and resisting arrest last Thursday was DeSean's ex, model Chantel Jeffries. However, it would seem the Eagles baller couldn't give a fack.


The star wide receiver has apparently been chilling in Hawaii with a new chick -- porn star Michelle Maylene. Maylene has built a solid reputation in the industry with credits in such films as "Slant Eye for the Straight Guy 2," and Da Vinci Load."


A pic has surfaced of the couple looking very lovey-dovey while posing in front of a tropical sunset, and you can check it out up top.


While you're at it, peep some of Michelle's sexiest Instagram pics.

The Future Is Now: Guy's Robotic Hand Has Amazing Powers



A tattoo shop owner posted this wild video to YouTube of a customer showing off his new robotic hand.


"One of our customers came into our shop today and showed us his new robotic hand. He lost his hand last April in a car accident. This is pretty new technology and the first that I have seen like it in person. It was really awesome to witness this monumental type of technology in person."


The hand can grip things, sping 360 degrees, and most importantly, flip the bird.


It's fantastic that this kind of technology is available for everyday folks to help live a normal life again.


Ciara Debuts New Song 'Anytime' at 2014 Grammy After-Party [VIDEO]


Ciara is proof that you can still move and groove while pregnant — and do so while looking flawless. The songstress commanded the stage at the official Grammy after-party inside the L.A. Convention Center in Los Angeles Sunday night (Jan. 26). She even surprised fans with a new song she debuted in their honor.


Dressed in all-black everything — including a form-fitting shirt showing off her baby bump — Ciara let those in the audience know that she had a special treat for them.


“I’m working on my new album now,” she announced. “I have some really cool stuff going on. The reason why I’m here and I still stand today is because of my fans… I want to take this moment and dedicate this song, it’s a new song it’s called ‘Anytime’… I want to share it with you guys.”


“Anytime that you hurt, anytime you in pain / Baby call my name, I’ll be there anytime,” she sang while a full band supported her — violins included — throughout the moving ballad.


The singer revealed that she was expecting a child with fiancee Future earlier this month during an interview on ‘The View.’ Last night on the Grammy Awards red carpet, she also shared some interesting information about her pregnancy — she doesn’t have any weird cravings. So no pickles and peanut butter concoctions for this woman.

Azealia Banks Begs Universal Records to Release Her From Contract

Azealia BanksIlya S. Savenok, Getty Images

Fans have been waiting patiently for Azealia Banks to release her debut album, ‘Broke With Expensive Taste.’ But alas, it looks as if the Harlem rapper is at a stalemate. She recently pleaded to get out of her record deal with Universal Records and shared the news via Twitter.


She also wrote that she’s “tired” of “having to consult a group of old white guys” about her “Black girl craft,” and added, “I would literally give anything to be on XL right now.”


XL Recordings is the indie label home of Tyler, the Creator, who released ‘Wolf’ last year to rave reviews.


Last December, Angel Haze went on a similar Twitter rant and leaked her debut album ‘Dirty Gold.’ This didn’t bode well for the rapper as her LP only sold about 1,000 copies in the U.S., during its first week of release.


While her situation seems dire, at the end of her Twitter rant, Banks seemed to be in better spirits.



Jennifer Hudson Threw Shade at Beyonce? Twitter Goes Off (@iamjhud @beyonce)



It's always seemed like Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce have had some kind of rivalry over the years, but they've kept things pretty civil. However, the Beyhive has been popping off on Twitter due to disparaging comments made by J-Hud in a recent Huffington Post interview which they say were directed at Beyonce.


When asked to name what she believes is overrated in the game right now, the Oscar and Grammy-winning artist didn't mince words.


"Girl, I can't. Ooooh ... Singing about the same old things in music is so overrated. Sex, drinkin', the club. Okay, especially sex. Like, we [are] grownups, we ain't got over that, like, really? Ain't you too old for that kind of thing? Can you talk about something else? I get annoyed with those things.


But I can't answer the last question, ohhh though I want to."


It's certainly understandable how that could be construed as a shot at Beyonce, considering how much of the content on her new album surrounds drinking and sex.


Hudson quickly responded to the slander on Twitter, accusing folks to jumping to conclusions.


Whatever the case, it would seem Twitter has already made up its mind. Check out a few tweets up top to see what we mean.


Do you believe Hudson was throwing shade at Bey?


Juicy J, Wale and Jhene Aiko Appear in Hilarious Pepsi Halftime Commercial [VIDEO]


Ever since ‘In Living Color’ featured a Super Bowl halftime episode in 1992, and stole some of the audience for the major football event, the NFL has been focused on bringing top-notch artists to rock the halftime stage — including Michael Jackson the very next year. Could you blame the football world for showing its appreciation on music’s biggest night?


The Grammys have become a television event similar to the way the Super Bowl has. So legends Deion Sanders, Terry Bradshaw and Shannon Sharpe teamed up to offer a similar halftime show for the Grammys in an over-the-top Pepsi commercial.


Famed head coach Mike Ditka channels Miley Cyrus’ wrecking ball, Sharpe spits some bars and Bradshaw does country (side note: Bradshaw actually did do country at one point) in this hilarious mess of a commercial. Juicy J, Wale and Jhene Aiko are some of the stars seen in the ad — but pay close attention because you might miss their appearances.


And if the NFL actually does want to do something like this in the future, maybe they should dial it back a bit on the confetti.


Bruno Mars is set to perform at this year’s Super Bowl.

In this throwback clip from Rugged Entertainment's Peter Spirer, Biggie Smalls reveals what he believes makes him stand out from others in the game. For Biggie it's simple: his music sets him apart from the competition.


"I just think it's the music, you know what I'm saying? The lyrics itself is tight, the music is tight," he explains, before adding that having Puffy on board also adds to his appeal.

Man Allegedly Killed Family Because He Didn't Have Car Seats



A Queens, NY man accused of murdering his girlfriend and baby daughters last weekend was arraigned in court today, and prosecutors claimed the 28-year-old stabbed the infants to death before attempting to flee to Mexico because he didn't have car seats.



Earlier in the week Miguel Mejia-Ramos allegedly admitted to fatally stabbing girlfriend Deisy Garcia and daughters Daniela Mejia, 2, and Yeslin Mejia, 1, multiple times telling officers he had "snapped" after finding a photo of Garcia with another man. And in court today, a Queens District Attorney said that Mejia-Ramos, who was picked up by federal agents near the Mexican border, had made statements to cops claiming he killed the infants "because he didn't have car seats to take them with him," according to the Post. He claims to have hugged them and begged their forgiveness before putting them in bed and stabbing them.



Mejia-Ramos, who was arraigned on multiple charges including first-degree murder, second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, faces life in prison without parole if convicted. "I have every intention of keeping him in prison for the rest of his life with no chance of parole," the District Attorney told reporters today, adding in a statement: "I was at the crime scene last Sunday night and as I said at that time, 'I have seen a lot in my 23 years as District Attorney but there is nothing more disturbing than seeing children—in this case mere babies—as victims of violence.'"



Miguel Mejia-Ramos also allegedly told cops he considered committing suicide after murdering his family, but changed his mind and made a dash for his native Mexico; in addition, prosecutors say Mejia-Ramos told officers he knew not to take credit cards with him after watching episodes of the TV show "I Almost Got Away With It." He is currently behind held without bail.

The unidentified whistleblower claims no records were kept of any transactions in the cash-only line.


The police charge that Watts stole $500 a day. That's $2,500 a week, which is a staggering $90,000 in a school year. Over 15 years, that would be $1,350,000. A

World's Tallest Waterslide Gets Terrifying POV Video



Last summer, pictures of the world's tallest waterslide came to light, and they were enough to make you queasy. Now, the folks behind the diabolical slide have released a POV video showing just how insane it truly is.


Dubbed the Verruckt, the slide, which is taller than the Niagara Falls, is being built at Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts in Kansas City. It opens summer 2014.

The Breeze Is Too Def To Die!


Man, I can't get me enough Breeze ! You may remember his slick, underrated album T.Y.S.O.N. on Atlantic Records from 1989, or maybe you just remember him from his cameos on all those King Tee albums. He was the best rhymer in The LA Posse ; but he never quite broke through the music industry. He was signed to Def Jam, but they never released any of his material (labels, how can we make that happen??), and eventually wound up on an indie label that put out a cool, underground 12" in the early 90s, but never managed to release that long-awaited second album... which was to be titled, appropriately enough, Blackballed.



So, starved for Breeze records, I picked up his one cheesy, crossover-attempting single, "Great Big Freak." The video played on Yo! a couple of times, and it's not bad or anything. It uses some chunky funk samples and the Posse were pro producers. Furthermore, both Breeze and guest/ fellow Posse member Big Dad have kick some fly deliveries with an emphasis on fast, multiple rhymes to keep their core fans happy. But let's face it; a song about girls and excessive instrumentation really isn't the kind of song we wanted to hear from Breeze.



But this 12" has an exclusive remix on it. And like I said, until someone raids the Def Jam vaults, we're stuck with a dearth of Breeze material, so I picked it up. And the remix is pretty good. It uses a lot of the same instrumental, but adds even more. New samples, deeper bass thumps, a nice change-up for Dad's verse. At times it's almost too much and feels sloppy; but for the most part it succeeds in turning it into a more creative, energetic street mix. The idea seems to have been to a put a little more hip-hop back into the song, and it does... but at the end of the day, it's still "Great Big Freak." I recommend it for anyone who legitimately considers themselves a Breeze fan; but if you're just passing through, I'd suggest picking up literally any and every other Breeze song before copping this one.



The B-side, "T.Y.S.O.N." is much more in line with the kind of Breeze we want. A harder track with Breeze just flexing skills and battle rhymes, with these really awesome Muhammad Ali (no, not Tyson) vocal samples comprising the chorus. It's great. But, of course, it's just an album track. Hell, it's the title cut. And nobody should be checking out "Great Big Freak" unless they've already got the much stronger LP, so it's kinda pointless.



Rounding out the 12", we get the Instrumental for "Great Big Freak" on the A-side, and the Censored Version of "T.Y.S.O.N." on the B. So there you go, something even less desirable than a regular album cut. But if you were bored and and desperate enough to play the Censored Version anyway, like I was, you stumbled onto a pretty awesome surprise...



It's actually an exclusive remix! Yeah, they weren't lying about the "Censored" part, and that's definitely annoying. But this was Breeze in 1989, there's not a lot of cursing to cut out. So after the intro, it basically plays through unhindered. He just says "fuck" once in the first verse; and amusingly, they kind of miss the mark and censor more of the word after it than the "fuck" itself.



And the remix? It's dope. I mean, the original is already killer, so it doesn't need any improving on. But this is definitely a hype alternative. They're actually using the same philosophy as the "great Big Freak" remix, where they use the same core instrumental, including all the signature sounds (and yes, vocal snippets); they just sometimes swap it out to add more funky samples into the mix. Some of it has more of a P-Funk mix, which you'd think would be a step down from the edgy, screechy feel of the original; but it actually comes together perfectly. It never dips into sloppiness either. It's just def! And if you've listened to "T.Y.S.O.N." a million times over like I did as a kid, this breathes all new life into it. Oh, and where the original version always fades out, this remix keeps going with some fresh cuts by Smooth the DJ - not really like attention-drawing fast DJ-slicing-up-the-wax kind of stuff, but just rubbing in all these great grooves.



So it turns out this is something not just for the serious Breeze fans desperate to squeeze every last drop of music from his too short career. This is a hot little 12" that, because it's so slept on, can usually be picked up out of the virtual dollar bin. As you can see from the scan, my version is the promo version, which just comes in a plain sleeve with one of Atlantic's infamous "When You PLAY IT, SAY IT!" stickers on it. But there's also a regular, commercial release version which comes in a picture cover and has the exact same track-listing, including both remixes.

Did Khloe Create Fertility Issues to Cover Up Failing Marriage? (@KhloeKardashian)



You can almost anything including reality shows with a grain of salt these days.


In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Kim Kardashian may have exposed a family secret. Khloe's alleged fertility issues served as her story line on the current season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but according to Kim, Khloe didn't want to have kids with ex-husband Lamar Odum in the first place.


"Khloe wasn't trying to get pregnant," said Kim. While her family pushed her into getting fertility treatments, Khloe wasn't really trying to have children. "She wasn't showing up to these doctor appointments on purpose and behind our backs because she knew [the marriage] wasn't working," said Kim.


The two split up last year and it looks like Khloe is happier than ever. Do you think it was a good cover up?
