Alicia Keys and stars die for the cause!
Nov 29th
Twitter streams across the world are about to lose some starpower. On Wednesday (Dec. 1), celebs including Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian, Janelle Monáe, Swizz Beatz, Jay Sean, and more are taking part in the new campaign Digital Life Sacrifice where they will sign off of social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter on behalf of Keys’ charity Keep a Child Alive.
The digital protest is intended to raise money on World AIDS Day, with participants signing back on to their respective social networking profiles when the charity raises $1 million. Many have filmed “last tweet and testament” advertisements where they laid in coffins to represent their “digital deaths” in preparation for the big day.
“It’s really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on,” Keys tells the AP of the digital protest. “It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up. It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that.”
Alicia Keys believes that shutting down celebrity profiles will have an immediate impact. “This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention,” Read the rest of this entry »
VMA rehearsals: Nicki Minaj, B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo and Travie McCoy
Sep 12th
The pink stage is set for Nicki Minaj’s VMA debut. The hip-hop hottie, wearing skintight pants and a cowboy hat, rehearsed in downtown Los Angeles for her first-ever televised solo performance at tonight’s pre-show. In addition to delivering a remix of her No. 1 rap song “Your Love,” she will be joined by will.i.am for their single “Check It Out.”
“She’s dope, she’s really nice,” the Black Eyed Peas leader told TheMoMoShow.com of his collaborator. “She loves music, she loves to express herself, and she’s a sick-ass lyricist.”
Even after topping the charts, B.o.B and Paramore’s Hayley Williams had never met—that is until now. The duo will finally perform their collaboration “Airplanes” for the very first time together at tonight’s festivities - because everyone knows that song is just going to be OVER played even more so!
B.o.B will accompany Bruno Mars and Hayley Williams for a three-song medley that includes “Nothin’ on You,” “Airplanes,” and Paramore’s “The Only Exception.” – Now that what I would call a VMA performance, that’s if this thing all goes right for them, well all know that Bruno Mars isn’t the greatest of all live performers!
Expect Justin Bieber to roll up in a red 1957 Chevy Bel Air when the teen phenom performs “Baby” for his fans outside at the Nokia Plaza at L.A. Live. – Oh God! – You know this is why at times I do not go all out for the VMAs because, every single track or record played has been played for a year already! Get A grip peoples!
Jason Derulo told TheMoMoShow.com to expect a darker version of “Ridin’ Solo” from him and house artist “deadmau5″ – right, because we all love a bit of change, to be fair the only person I’m really interested in is Kanye West too see what this guy does…again!
Travie McCoy will flip his hit “Billionaire” for the VMAs. “Me and deadmau5 got together, went in on ‘Billionaire,’” the Gym Class Heroes frontman told us. “He definitely took it, and it just turned into these crazy noises I never heard before.”. So make sure you keep it locked on our twitter Twitter.com/MoMo for full live updates during tonight’s show!

Chris Brown and Usher cancel joint tour
Aug 22nd
Chris Brown and Usher fans were in glee earlier this week when Bryan-Michael Cox announced that the duo were going on tour. However, even after Brown proposed to the idea on his Twitter, the plans for the show have been officially scrapped. There is no official word from either artist’s camp as to why the venture was canceled. Brown has since removed any messages referring to the tour from his Twitter page.
But according to Usher‘s camp, this is all just talk – for now, at least. “There are no plans at this time for Usher and Chris Brown to tour together,” reps for the 31-year-old singer said. Brown’s reps said ditto with the statement: “There is no confirmed Chris Brown and Usher tour at this time.”
Perhaps they’re just waiting to see how badly fans want it. Brown tweeted Wednesday, “Would you pay to see an Usher and Chris Brown concert/tour,” followed by, “RT #CBUSHERTOUR if u want it to happen.” Lo and behold, at the time of this posting, #cbushertour was a trending topic.
And now this is now why I’m sticking to my new quote of the year…”I’ll believe it when I see it”, although a Chris Brown and Usher tour would of been a done deal for world wide success it seems to me that those on Usher‘s side are getting a bit too greedy! I guess we’ll just be stuck with Rihanna and her squealing as the only alternative unless we go to Trey Songz’s sex show, ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’. At least we still have Lady GaGa.

Rihanna is out…again
Aug 10th
Rihanna turned heads in a lime green dress and flaming red hair while leaving one of her favorite New York restaurants, Da Silvano, with boyfriend Matt Kemp.
Thanks to her “Love the Way You Lie” collaboration with Eminem, RiRi has tied Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga for the most No. 1 songs on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart, according to Billboard. While Rihanna may already be taken, Eminem‘s grandmother Betty Kresin thinks her grandson and his collaborator would make a cute couple. “Rihanna would make a suitable partner for Marshall,” she reportedly told us. “But he needs to enjoy life and not get carried away with any relationships at the moment.”
After failing to impress her fans on recent “failed” tour Rihanna is now working on her next project, which according to Island Def Jam insiders is set to be her most successful project yet…yeah – We’ve herd this all before. However with little hope of Rihanna‘s public image improving whilst the public begins to favour Chris Brown – RiRi will need anything to her back into the lime light which she doesn’t need!
Also, just a thought - notice how boyfriend Matt Kemp is always behind Rihanna, or just always looks upset or stressed when photographed around her…do I smell problems? Yes! I wonder how long it is before he cannot hold in his anger? – Just kidding! keep it locked on the MoMo Show for further updates on the Rihanna project! Read the rest of this entry »
M.I.A talks new album and “Nicki Minaj runs Hip-Hop”
Jul 13th
M.I.A. will be the first to tell you if she doesn’t like someone, just ask Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. But luckily for Nicki Minaj, the outspoken artist has nothing but respect and admiration for her.
The omnipresent Minaj guests on the remix to M.I.A.‘s ”/\/\/\Y/\” album cut “Teqkilla“ rapping, “Yo Maya, your shit is on fire.”
M.I.A. returned the compliment to her collaborator in an interview on 102.7 KIIS-FM’s “New Music Show.” “Nicki Minaj runs hip-hop,” she told DJ Skee of the Harajuku Barbie, whose debut album is due November 23.
She also shared why she thinks there’s so much buzz surrounding the Young Money femcee. “She works hard and that’s what it is. She’s focused and that’s good,” she explained. “It’s been a while since a female rapper has come up with that much… She’s got a really good work ethic, and I get her.”
M.I.A.‘s ”/\/\/\Y/\ is out now! And has already shifted 300,000 units of the oddly-structured titled album, this could mean M.I.A is on her way to getting a Gold certified album! Read the rest of this entry »
Lady Gaga’s new album is complete!
Jun 22nd
Lady GaGa’s next studio album is complete. The entertainer revealed the news in the latest issue of Rolling Stones magazine and noted that the title of the LP, which hits stores early next year, will be revealed on New Year’s Eve. Check out what GaGa had to say.
Sources told us that there are very few details out there about what Gaga’s next album will sound like, but she say it’s already finished. She’s planning to announce the title of the album — due early next year — at midnight on New Year’s Eve. “I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she said. “I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.”
It looks like Lady GaGa is going to continue her trend of making everything a dramatic affair. It’s certainly an ingenious move to capitalise on every opportunity to build hype for the next LP. Knowing Lady GaGa, she’ll probably announce the album title amidst a fireworks display, launched by cannon fire and 50 virgins singing in a chorus line at the strike of midnight; you know, because that’s how she do!
Keep it locked for more information on Lady GaGa‘s next LP! We’ll post it up as we get it, keep it locked on MoMo. Read the rest of this entry »
Beyonce says “No!” to Destiny’s Child regroup
Jun 14th
Yes! “Single Lady” Beyonce has said no to any chances of Destiny’s Child ever reforming! to be fair, we all saw this comming; with Michelle Williams only a few months ago saying she didn’t want to continue with her music and made the decision to transgress her career onto a more theatre based paths; and Kelly Rowland leaving R&B totally and focusing on a more Euro-pop sound!
I’m not surprised! We all love Beyonce; but it seems clear that Beyonce who is extremly close to being named Best Selling Female Artist of 2010 (meaning 2009 – don’t asking me how that works!) is begging to get slightly heated within her own game! With the introduction of Lady Gaga; it tested Beyonce thus pushing her to give into the “Gaga-Revolution” that is currently happening over the industry! There is no nice way to say this but…Beyonce was out there to be solo from the beginning! simples!
However with a current gay for a girl group to take over the world this would of been a safe and good time to bring back Destiny’s Child; however I’d be worried on the amount of units they would sell. In many waus Destiny’s Child has gone way past it’s used by dates and with each member pushing their solo careers – Kelly Rowland set to release her new album in the coming months; it’s sad to see that we will never see Destiny’s Child again – even more so i’m grateful; if this project failed it could of damaged the legacy that girls have built up!
Saying that please please please note that Beyonce has kept in minimal contract with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams; so much for “sisters”! Well what you expect? It’s a shame we’ll never see these children of destiny together again! Also please note that Beyonce‘s recent single “Why Don’t You Love” flopped epically – go on a break B!

Extremely proud [to work with her],” Tip said about Gaga. “She’s definitely that good. She knows what she’s doing. She knows exactly what she wants people to think and say. She does everything that she needs to be done to ensure it happens…We gonna go back in and record some more songs…But the one we have right now is entitled ‘Lick It.’ I think we both have a tendency to shock the world in a lot of different ways…[My Eminem collaboration] is in the making. It just hasn’t been recorded yet. The song has been picked out and it’s been agreed for us to do it. We’re thinking a song that can definitely make its way to the club.”
