The Game, in the following video, wants his fans to design a new tattoo for him. The winner will be chosen around the time his upcoming disc, "LAX" drops on July 12th. (By the way, the tattoo has to feature the name of his album.)



Swizz Beatz finally address rumors of Alicia Keys being the key reason why he and his wife Mashonda split up:

Everybody can have their fun right now talking that dumb sh– about my divorce and all that,” he said. “I’mma give them something to talk about. People get divorced every f—in’ day. They need to worry about more serious things.”

The big rumor in the tabloids is that Swizz and his wife broke up over the proverbial “other woman.” What made the story so sensational was that the alleged mistress in this case was Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Swizz dismissed it.

“It ain’t even bad,” he said, more agitated. “My divorce, it ain’t nothing bad. It’s just us moving on. Me and Shonda are super good. It is what it is. [The press] are nine months late on the situation. It’s a headache to me. We been separated nine or 10 months already.”


Swizz’s ire was raised in particular by recent headlines on the front pages of Hip Hop Weekly and MediaTakeout.com.

“That sh– just looks like drama,” he said. “They got another big name involved. No, I’m not doing [any] f—ing interviews. Only thing I’m commenting on is music-related. I don’t comment on my personal life. Why start now? You start commenting on that sh–, then they start twisting it out. I’m not gonna speak about nothing. They [gave Mashonda] two pages in Hip Hop Weekly. She didn’t even say nothing about Alicia. They blew it up on MediaTakeout.com. They flipped that into some other sh–.

After Swizz said what he had to say about his divorce, he went to talk briefly about the remix to Alicia's "Teenage Love Affair" featuring LL Cool J that he worked on.


Solange Knowles sat down with the New York Daily News to discuss how her fashion style is different from her big sis, Beyonce.

"Our styles are so different," Solange said when asked if she ever gets tips from her better-known family member. "I think all sisters share secrets and advice, but we try to keep that stuff in the house."

I couldn't agree more because Solange's style is far from the high-end one Beyonce is known for.
