Spotted @ ConcreteLoop

I’m really lovin Lil Ike’s Bow-Wow’s newer, more mature look in this new photo shoot for MTV! Since claiming he retired from rap to focus on his acting career and clothing line, Shad made good on his promise and recently returned to the set of Entourage to reprise the role of Charlie from last season. Bow-Wow hit up his twitter page to update everyone on his first day on the set, proclaiming:

“Oh my god ! No need to take pix on set! Papparazzi did it 4 me! They were err wur. Pix will be on sumbody blog. Great 1st day on set! I was filmn entourage! Charlie is bk. We shot at venice beach.” (Source)

Lookin good Bow-weezy! I think he’s well on his way to taking JD’s advice about rockin a suit in his response video to one of NecoleBitchie’s Booty posts. Peep the video below:

Shawntae Harris aka DaBrat aka Prisoner #0001287419 celebrated her 35th birthday yesterday (April 14th) while incarcerated in Georgia’s Arrendale State Prison. Harris is currently serving a 3 year sentence for the aggravated assault of a waitress at Jermaine Dupri’s Studio 72. At least she looks content in her newest mugshot.  Harris is scheduled for release August 2011.

Bow Wow can’t catch a break these days! First his double wood album sells and now this?!?  I was perusing Drama Dupree the other day…laughing my “A”zz off, when I came across this not so blind item:

WHAT LOCAL ATLANTA RAP PROTEGE WAS RECENTLY IN WASHINGTON D.C. NEEDING THE SERVICES OF A TRANSEXUAL CALL GIRL? HIS MENTOR IS NEW TO THE RAP GAME BUT HAS CAPTURED AUDIENCES ALL OVER THE WORLD AND BEYOND. THIS PROTEGE ALSO PRODUCES AND CAN BE SEEN AS A HYPE MAN WHILE HIS MENTOR BLAZES UP THE STAGE. THEY BOTH ARE FOUND ALL OVER YOUTUBE AND VARIOUS OTHER WEBSITES. HIS MENTOR IS EVEN SAID TO BE ON THE DL HIMSELF, BUT WHO KNOWS IF THAT IS TRUE.

Alledged photos of Bow-Weezy’s transexual boo have even surfaced recently and have been circulating the net. Can it get in worse for Lil Ike Bow-weezy?? *sigh* Check “her” out below: (more…)

Usher is back up in the studio grinding with Jermaine Dupri after partying like a rock star in Paris last week. I’m assuming they’re putting their heads together to come up with a new and improved formula for the next album but first things first…Usher’s bringing out the old “U” chain for inspiration:

Awwww sh*t! It’s on now!

“They say we walk just alike, talk just alike…”

Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri are reunited and it feeeels so good! I just had an old school flashback…scuse me.  Anywhoo, Roc The Mic is Bow Wow’s ode to his mentor JD and it’s a full blown lovefest.  I’m sure the two are ecstatic about being friends again and it shows but this song is a bit much.  Kinda reminds me of this old commercial.
