Christina Milian’s house is kinda nice

Remember a couple years back when all the tabloids were claiming Christina Milian was broke? Well either the tabloids were wrong or The Dream is putting up a serious mortgage payment because Christina’s house here in L.A. is featured in Modern Home & Living and it’s quite large. Just like the 64 oz. Slurpee I’m drinking now. To all those struggling artists out there…time to get you some of that MySpace Music money! Via: US

Jim Jones would rather jump off a cliff than wear Air Yeezys

This might be the first intelligent thing that Jim Jones has said in a long time. It’s good to know I’m not taking crazy pills here and am not the only person who thinks the Air Yeezys are hideous. Via: RR

Subway Art 25th Edition Video

If you are a true fan of the four elements of hip-hop then you have to check out one of the tightest books around simply called “Subway Art.” It’s the 25th Anniversary of the book which is still a huge part of the bombing culture to this day. Check out the video hyping up the anniversay of the book.

Milli Vanilli movie coming to a theater near you!

Word on the Street is that Bret Ratner, everyone’s favorite director they love to hate (Rush Hour franchise), is in talks to direct an official Milli Vanilli movie. The project apparently has some big time producing support as Kathleen Kennedy, the exec producer of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Munich, is exec producing this film as well.

So that means all your favorite Rob and Fab moments will be shown on the big screen including “Blame it on the Rain” and “Don’t Forget My Number.” Unfortunately, the movie will focus on the scandal behind the group as it was revealed they were fakes. Just for inspiration, I leave you with this video.

Kanye West shoe ads get rejected by Louis Vuitton

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton. Kanye told the world on his blog that these were photos (see photos here) for his Louis Vuitton shoeline so the internet (including us) assumed it was for an LV ad campaign. We thought this a bit strange considering there is a naked Amber Rose in one of the ads and she doesn’t exactly personify what LV stands for.

Well Bossip is revealing that LV indeed is not using any of these ads for any future ad campaign and that the ads are most likely for a unnamed magazine photoshoot. This gives me hope that LV still has an ounce of decency left. I’m sure Kanye’s ghostwriter will comment soon.
