Hip Hop heavyweight Snoop Dogg left hordes of fans waiting at the launch of his new album, “Malice N Wonderland” at M2 in New York on Friday.

He was set to take the stage at 1 a.m., but eventually performed a set of his new songs at 3 a.m.

A source said, “Snoop was supposed to perform at 1am…By 3am the crowd was getting impatient, so someone was dispatched to remind him to get on stage. But once up there he really pulled himself together and went for it.”

Madonna won’t be kept down for long, as you can plainly see. After her campaign ended with Luis Vuitton, she has moved on to modeling for fashion giant Dolce & Gabbana.

Madge channels her favorite Italian actress Monica Vitti in the new poses, of which Stefano Gabbana said she was a perfect match.

See the rest of the photos here.

I really don’t believe this story one bit. Alicia Keys was in London promoting her latest album, “The Element Of Freedom”, when she was said to have thrown a hissy fit of epic proportions.

She was given a ritzy room at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge, but it wasn’t up to par, according to sources.

She arrived on Monday, but was anything but pleased at the suite she was placed in. She reportedly walked out of the hotel, leaving the expensive room after saying that it wasn’t big enough.

A source said, “The hotel had been in discussion with Alicia’s team for a week, preparing her suite with her favorite flowers, scents and goodies. The hotel’s Rib Room entrance on Sloane Square had even been closed off at her bodyguard’s request for her arrival. But when they saw the Luxury Suite, Alicia and her people asked for something bigger. They were told there wasn’t anything bigger and that the Luxury Suite was the biggest and best in the hotel. Basically, Alicia took one look and sad she ‘didn’t feel the vibe’. And when she does that, she’s not joking, so the whole entourage piled into her limo and left.”

I’m not feeling the vibe of this nonsense, either. Are you buying it?

Sean “Diddy” Combs might just be tying the knot with the coming of the new year. Reportedly, the mogul has hooked back up with his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter.

A source claims that Diddy has dumped Cassie and plans to get married to Kim in 2010.

Diddy told “Playboy”, “I’ve only got one more [romance] in me. If I find somebody and it doesn’t work, I’ll be ruined forever…I only have one more lifeline.”

Think he’ll marry Kim? Besides that, it’s only a rumor at this point.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’ve had the same old trusty iPod for years and it’s been great for listening to music in public places without bothering anyone else. The only problem is that when I get home, my favorite tunes have to be stored elsewhere so that I can listen to them throughout the house. And who really wants to shuffle through the 50+ CDs that we own just to listen to some music? I’m picky, that’s why I have different playlists.

Yamaha has this new speaker dock that I’m looking to buy, called the PDX-60. This dock will bring our parties to life when we have friends and family over. Everyone here likes a different range of music, so we’ll be able to shuffle the songs to get different genres to appease everyone. At $300.00, it’s not going to be an impulse purchase, but it’s a great addition if you’re like us and do a lot of entertaining.

What’s really nifty about this dock is that it also charges your iPod while you’re listening to it. It also has a nice little remote for changing songs whenever your iPod is docked. The bass on this thing is really kickin’ and it provides some awesome sound quality. What’s even better is that it’s wireless!

Specs:

Weight (lbs.) : 3.7
Frequency Response – 60 Hz–20 kHz
Type: Bass-reflex speakers
Woofer: Dual 3-1/4” full-range cone
Dimensions (W x H x D): 13-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ x 4-7/8″

You can also use this with your iPhone or most iPod models. I’m going to get this in black so that it matches my furniture. Santa, if you’re listening, I could really use this for Christmas! (Hint, hint)

Britney Spears has just released the Director’s Cut of her latest video “3″ and you can check it out here!

There are some similarities with the videos, running them side by side, but I do have to wonder why they didn’t just release this one as the first version of the song?

Check it out, after the jump! (continue reading…)

Remember the ads featuring Madonna in some goofy pose with a Luis Vuitton purse hanging from her shoe? Well those days are over. They’ve got some fresh meat to handle their brand and aren’t looking to her old butt anymore.

LV has kicked Madge to the curb in favor of another much younger model, Lara Stone. Marc Jacobs said, “To model the clothes, we wanted a modern, iconic, sexy beauty…It had to be Lara Stone.”

Don’t bust out the hankies to cry any tears for her, she still got paid.

Even though John Mayer had the gossips in a spin over his seemingly racist comments toward Kumail Nanjiani recently, he still doesn’t want you to think he’s a douche this holiday season.

John went out and got himself some free PR from a homeless dude. While gallivanting out between the Slipper Room and the Darkroom, John was stopped by some poor fella, asking him for a quarter. Instead of giving him a quarter, John offered him a roastbeef sandwich at Katz’s. The guy said not to bother, but John persisted anad obliged when the guy asked, “How about a pizza?”

What John really could have done to make this guy’s Christmas special was to take him in the bar with him. Hey, he could’ve been his wing man.

Going the way of Miley Cyrus before him, Chris Brown got fed up with tweeting and has joined the ranks of Twitter Quitters.

After going off on the music industry over the weekend, it appears that Chris’ PR people have pulled his account. He was ranting and raving about Walmart not having his album stocked, while gearing up for Alicia Keys’ new release, “The Element Of Freedom.”

Walmart’s spokesperson has since released a statement saying that his album was in stock and that it had sold out. So guess who’s tucking their tail between their legs right about now?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

I received my new LG Chocolate Touch in the mail and I can tell you that I was beyond excited. This thing can do it all. It has a nice cool touch screen, which makes it easier for scrolling through my tunes and an FM Tuner for jamming around the house.

When I go for a walk, I take my Chocolate Touch with me, so that I can receive calls as well as listen to The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga or some rock music, like Def Leppard. It also makes it easier for me to listen to tunes while doing the cleaning around the house. I can run the vacuum and still have my tunes in my ear.

I really like the Chocolate Touch for working out, I can just do my crunches with headphones on, so that I don’t bother anyone else. Also, I’ve got my favorite radio stations already preset so that I can jump to any of them with a touch of the screen.

Previously, I only had a small mp3 player to listen to my tunes on, but with the Dolby Sound on this baby, I can toss that poor thing in the garbage.

What I really thought was cool is the ability to play the piano or drum kit (with cowbell included) while listening to my favorite songs. I can’t match Gaga’s ability to play the piano, but it’s fun to try. The only problem that I had was that I wasn’t able to play more than one key at a time, but it’s still a cool feature.

All in all, this is definitely a phone that I would recommend to anyone else. Given that they’ve made listening to my favorite dance music so easy, I would take this over any other mp3 player or phone.

Cool features:

Dolby Sound
3.2 Megapixel Camera & Video Recorder
FM Tuner
3.5mm Headphone Jack (standard)
Easy Sync’ing to your Computer (no extra software required)
Join The Band Feature (Piano keys & drum set)
One-touch Social Networking (Update your Facebook or Twitter)

If you’re interested in learning more about the LG Chocolate Touch, head on over to their website. You’ll be surprised at the capabilities that this phone brings you. I was.

Chris Brown took to his Twitter account to have a hissy fit of epic proportions over the weekend. Apparently there are some retailers out there that aren’t giving Chris his due. What?!?

Some retailers are not stocking their shelves with Chris Brown’s latest CD, “Graffiti”. Oh noes!

He tweeted this nonsense:
