If you haven’t heard or watched on dreblacksofresh, Christina Aguilera gave a stirring rendition of “At Last” at the homegoing services for Etta James this past weekend. However, her performance has been overshadowed by photos which have been circulating the internet of Ms. Aguilera and a mystery liquid running down her leg during her performance. Some say she may have come on her monthly, and others say it could be spray tan. You be the judge.
Bronx, New York rapper Cory Gunz was arrested this weekend, after police found him in possession of a loaded handgun.
Police caught the rapper with a loaded, unregistered Taurus .9mm handgun.
Cory Gunz, born Peter Pankey Jr., is currently in custody in the Bronx.
His father, rapper Peter Gunz, told MTV News that his son was the victim of an illegal search.
“It was definitely an illegal search,” Peter Gunz told MTV News.
Peter Gunz further elaborated on his 24-year-old son’s arrest.
The rapper was exiting a cab when plain clothes officers aggressively approached him.
“He just got out of a cab and police ran up on him and they were in plainclothes,” Peter Gunz told the New York Daily News. “He didn’t know they were cops – he thought he was getting robbed.”
Peter Gunz said his son was currently in Central Booking, where he is being processed.
Although its his first offense, Corey’s father is worried that New York’s strict anti-gun laws will have an adverse affect on his son’s career.
The same laws sent Lil Wayne, the CEO of Young Money, Cory’s label, to jail for eight months in 2010.
“At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time,” Peter Gunz told MTV News. “To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard.”
Even though its his first offense, Cory Gunz faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 3 and 1/2 years in prison.
The stars were shining bright on opening night of Cirque Du Soleil’s Michael Jackson “The Immortal” World Tour at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Friday night (Jan. 27).

Dirty Money diva Kalenna gives lots of lip in her latest viral video for “Matte Black Truck,” a knocking cut off her upcoming mixtape Chamber of Diaries.
“If you leave, I’ma crank Wu-Tang in my matte black truck/ I’ma keep a red cup filled up in my matte black truck,” sings Kalenna as words spill out of her bejeweled lips.
Due in February, Diaries features contributions from Wayne Wonder, Maino, Rodney Jerkins, French Montana, Yung Chris, and more.
Da Brat is well known for rocking her cornrows, baggy jeans, oversized tees and sneakers I think the only time I’ve ever seen her girly was in her video “Watchu Like” featuring Tyrese, and she was looking right in that joint!! But all that has changed when mega celeb stylist June Ambrose gave Da Brat a girly girl look for June’s upcoming VH1 show. Da Brat doesn’t look to pleased! LOL She’s a pretty woman she should show it off more often. What do you think? I personally, think that the style is ALL wrong, especially coming from June Ambrose whose been doing this for years. #Fashionfail
Christina Aguilera paid tribute to her idol, Etta James, as the blues legend was laid to rest at a Los Angeles-area church today. Dressed in all black, the pop star belted out James’ classic “At Last,” sharing some heartfelt words with the congregation.

Maybach Music Group takes a shot of their own remix of Drake’s ‘The Motto’ with Meek Mill and Wale pulling up the forefront of hot bars. These are some of the hardest working artists in the industry and their grind will never cease to rise as they continue to obtain more and more status and notoriety in the music industry. Enough about my thoughts, turn your speakers up loud and clear so you can prepare yourselves for the fire before you!
Will and Jada are hooking up with Simon Cowell to produce an American Idol type show for DJs called “DJ Superstar”.
Simon says,
“We’ve been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people.”
“DJs are the new rock stars. It feels like the right time to make the show.”
“We were all in the studio and Luda was in town. He fucking came to the studio and was like, ‘I gotta go to fuckin’ L.A.X. so I gotta do the verse.’ So, what happened was Kanye saw Luda and he’s a fan. So, Kanye goes in the booth and he’s rapping. Like, he was rapping for like an hour. Luda didn’t know Kanye that well at the time so Luda was like, ‘What the fuck is going on? I came to do this song. Yo, Whoo Kid, I’m here to do your shit. I’m out of here.’ I got nervous because I really wanted to get this shit done. I was like, ‘What? You leaving?’ I ran in there like, ‘What you doing, [Kanye]? Get out there and play that beat, yo!’ So Kanye’s looking crazy. What made it worse is, by the time he got out there, Luda picked a Red Spyda beat,”
Whoo Kidd recalls Kanye peeling out of the parking lot thoroughly heated about how things turned out and the next thing they heard Kanye was in the hospital.
