Master P’s brother C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, was sentenced to ten years in prison for second degree attempted murder charges in 2001.

Miller pleaded no contest to the charges on Wednesday, May 21, 2009. Miller’s trial began today where he was accused of trying to shoot the owner of Club Raggs in Baton Rouge, LA., along with a bouncer at Plank Road Nightclub in 2001.

Check out the video of the shooting incident below:

Adam Lambert and “American Idol” winner Kris Allen performed on “The Today Show” earlier today.

First, the guys talked about the show and how things have changed for them. Kris was also asked about “TextGate” whereas AT&T were said to have rigged the results in favor of his win on the show. Kris joked that he didn’t call AT&T and tell them that he needed more votes.

Adam said that he rolled his eyes when he heard the news and said that people are just looking for something to be dramatic about. He adds that there is no conspiracy, so relax.

And Adam says that he will not be working with Queen!

The guys also performed for the show, with Kris singing “Heartless” and Adam singing, “Mad World”:

Kris also sang the “American Idol” coronation song, written by Kara DioGuardi, “No Boundaries”:

I love how well they got along throughout the show and the results. It bodes well for both of their careers.

What do you think?

Adam Lambert was asked to front one of the biggest rock acts in the history of music, Queen. Who wouldn’t die for the chance to sing the songs sung by the late Freddie Mercury?

Lambert says that he’s not ruling out fronting the band, but he does have some other things planned, as well.

When asked about fronting Queen, he said, “That’s a tough question, because, honestly, how do you say no to being in Queen? I mean, that’s unbelievable. But at the same time, I do have my own thing to do right now, and that’s my goal. So if I could, I would try to do both. That’s the honest question. I would try to do both. I would love to perform with them anytime they wanted me to but I also have my record to do. So we’ll see.”

When speaking about his newest endeavor, a new record, he says, “My record will be kind of a rock-pop-electronic-dance thing. I don’t know how to describe it. I think it’s gonna take on a life of its own, as far as genre goes.”

Lambert goes on to reveal that he would love the opportunity to collaborate with Madonna, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.

He added, “Madonna would be amazing. I’d love to work with Madonna – I think she’s a genius. She has great ideas. Lady Gaga is brilliant. She’s got her finger on the pulse. She’s the hot thing right now. Katy Perry’s amazing, absolutely amazing.”

Who would you like to see Lambert collaborate with?

In an effort to lessen the effect of the economic crisis on her fans, Beyonce has decided to sell concert tickets for the low price of only $18.00 apiece.

She’s selling 1,000 tickets at about $20 each to her North American shows that will go on sale tomorrow.

You can purchase tickets to her concerts at ticketmaster.com/beyonce.

All of this so that she can make ticket prices more affordable to her fans. Kudos to Beyonce for putting her fans first.

Credit Card company American Express has filed a lawsuit against Hole rocker Courtney Love. She reportedly owes them a whopping $352,059.67 in her unpaid balance, along with damages, attorney’s fees, and late charges.

Courtney’s charging privileges have been suspended after she reportedly failed and refused to make the payments.

I’m sure she’ll post something to Twitter or her MySpace page about this soon. And we won’t be able to understand a word of it.

Earlier, I showed you the cover art for the U.K. release of Lady Gaga’s song, “Paparazzi”.

Now, I have for you the cover art for the CD single.

The video will make its premiere on Wednesday, July 3rd on Channel 4 (in the U.K). But you know I’ll be watching. I can’t wait for her to release “Starstruck” or “Boys Boys Boys” already. I’m still digging “The Fame”.

Kanye West has just debuted his official video for “Paranoid”, featuring Rihanna.

Check out the official video:

Rihanna is all throughout the video, but doesn’t sing. Kanye sings and there’s like 800 of him floating around in the beginning.

It’s a good song, maybe Rihanna should’ve sang it? What do you think?

Lady Gaga is gracing the new cover of “Rolling Stone” magazine in her famous bubble suit.

In the new issue, she says, “I don’t feel I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I’m changing what people think is sexy.”

She adds, “The truth is, the psychotic woman that I truly am comes out when I’m not working. When I’m not working, I go crazy.”

In another recent interview, Gaga talks about what she wants in a man (in just three words — not surprising) and fame, money, and sex.

Crazy!

According to sources, after Piers Morgan lavished praise on “Britain’s Got Talent” competitor Shaheen Jafargholi, which caused Susan Boyle to break out with the F-word in anger.

She reportedly shocked a room full of 150 guests at the Wembley Plaza Hotel when she stuck two fingers up at the television and said, “F*** off”, before stomping out.

One guest claimed, “Everyone was stunned by her reaction.”

Her spokesman denies the claims, saying that she left the hotel bar before Shaheen even took the stage. She says, “Susan was in the bar with friends but was getting hassled by a journalist. The four of them left before Shaheen’s live performance to watch it in the room instead.”

In a video he posted on Youtube, Chris Brown tells his “real fans” that he’s got a new album coming soon, and that he loves them and he’s not a monster.

Check out the video from Chris himself:

What do you think? Is that some sort of apology for what he did to Rihanna? Are we supposed to believe that he’s not a monster after what he did to her? And why say this now?

Chris Brown fans: Are you still behind him?

During a show in Aspen, Colorado, some guy thought it was a good idea to pass money out like it grows on trees during a Pitbull concert.

The rapper pulled the guy on stage and decked him!

And he never missed a beat. Security got the guy after Pitbull knocked him to the floor, and kicked him out. He was let back in after he was deemed not to be a threat. The police were not called as a result of the incident.

Rick Ross has finally put down his beef with 50 Cent to actually come out with a new video, called “Rich Off Cocaine”.

This song is pretty good!

What do you think? I like the rapping better than I do the singing part, but the song is cool.

Brooke Hogan just revealed her new music video featuring Colby O’Donis, titled “Hey Yo”.

Check out the video below:

It’s not that bad, I mean, it’s not going to be the song of the summer or anything, but I’ve definitely heard a lot worse. What do you think?

Brooke Hogan has just released the cover art for her new album, “The Redemption”. And guess what? She’s an angel!

If you missed her official video for “Falling”, check it out here.

Jesus, would you look at those ribs? It’s almost like she’s glorifying being unnaturally skinny (even though she’s really not).

Dog her all you want, but I did like that one song she did, “About Us”, it was pretty good. But I still don’t know how I feel about this angelic-like album cover. It’s just too weird for me.

Amy Winehouse really just looks so put together when she steps out of the house that I am dying to copy her style. Aren’t you?

For the fabulously cracktastic party girl in you, Amy is set to design her own line of clothes. I know, hold me back, right?

She has reportedly teamed up with British fashion house PPQ to unleash her inner designer on the rest of the world. What she doesn’t know is that we don’t want clothes, we just want another album already.

According to sources, the brand will be her “signature retro style”. Does that mean we’ll get a beehive and a red ribbon with every order? I’m totally on it if that’s the case.

PPQ designer, Amy Molyneaux, says, “Yes there have been talks with Amy and we are now in the first stages on the project. The range will be all about high-end statement pieces, inspired by Amy’s style. For example, maybe a dress or an amazing piece of jewelry like a bracelet. It’s going to be distributed online, we are going to be providing all materials and doing the design, but Amy will definitely be involved in the creative process.”

What about the ballet shoes? Now that’s a total fashion statement.

Actress Jessica Biel has taken to singing on the soundtrack for new movie, “Easy Virtue”. She sings “Mad About The Boy”.

Check out her performance of the song:

She sounds way better than fellow actress, Scarlett Johansson, but that’s not really saying much, is it? Think her and boyfriend Justin Timberlake will do a duet? Or should she even bother?

Your thoughts?

Dr. Dre put his long-awaited album, “Detox’, on the backburner so that he could produce Eminem’s “Relapse” record.

Dre pushed back “Detox” to help Em with “Relapse” and 50 Cent with his latest effort, “Before I Self Destruct”.

Eminem says, “He’s recorded a lot of material. He was working on his record for a good time period, I would say probably a year, he was working on his record and he basically put that on hold once we got on the road with my record, which I’m extremely grateful for you know.”
