Here is an unofficial screen shot of the movie poster to the MJ tribute concert film This is It. According to various unofficial sources out there, the movie actually is not a full length concert like say ummm…Hanna Montana in Concert 3-D. It’s actually a documentary shot around the whole This Is It tour that never happened. The DVD however will include hours of bonus footage of MJ actually performing. Movie comes out October 28th. Anyone planning on seeing it? Via: That Grape Juice
Dr. Dre x Lady Gaga x Monster. Dr. Dre formally introduced Lady Gaga into his “Beats by Dre” headphone family as she will be launching a series of headphones called “Heartbeats” under the Beats by Dre division. The headphones are obviously targeted towards females who crave true acoustic sound or towards guys who like diamond-shaped jewelers on their headphones. The “Heartbeats” will hit stores in October. How the heck did Dre get stuck into doing this you ask? Two words…Jimmy Iovine. The partnership that Dre has with Monster is actually a deal brokered between Iovine and his Interscope label…Lady Gaga is part of Interscope and well you can fill in the blanks. Since Dre owns equity in the Beats by Dre line it’s a win-win for him…just as long as she doesn’t appear on “Detox.”
Check the pics from the press event which was recently held in Germany as well as official shots of the headphones.

Day 26 x Eight2Six. We had to check my sources on this one when the homies at HipHopRevenues told us about this…and it’s 100% legit. Day 26, of Diddy’s “Making the Band” has teamed with heels.com to exclusively release a line of woman’s high heel shoes called Eight2Six. The line of three shoes are to celebrate Day 26′s track “High Heels” and each is priced at $99.99 and can be purchased at Heels.com. This goes down as one of the most “unique” partnerships we have reported on.
