Last night was opening night of the fourth annual Sunset Strip Music Festival featuring a special Motley Crue tribute that was held at the House of Blues. Motley will be playing Saturday during the street festival that will be taking place on Sunset between San Vicente and Doheny. The days event’s will include vendors, VIP rooftop lounges, VIP areas in The Roxy and The Key Club, a beer garden, autograph tent and interactive experiences all day on The Strip.


Congrats to SSMF’s 2011 honorees Motley Crue…the only band worth seeing at this festival in my opinion. If I didn’t have to be crammed into a crowd of middle-aged women re-living their glory years in front of the Motley stage (like I have experienced a time or two already now) I would so be at this festival. The words “Motley” and ‘Beer Garden” have a magnet type effect on me.

Dear Ke$ha,
You are not Lady Gaga.
Give it up.
Love,
Everyone in the world.

Rich Cronin from LFO has been battling Leukemia for years and succumbed to the disease today in Massachusetts. Cronin, 35, was diagnosed with the form of Cancer in 2005.
I am a huge LFO fan. I have all their cds and even somehow managed to get an autograph photo of them that I pinned to the back of my door as a teen. I am going to wear an Abercrombie and Fitch tee today in remembrance.
Today is truly a sad day.

What the hell is going on in this picture??? Its so hilarious slash borderline inappropriate that I love it.

Mr. Bieber performed at the Best Buy Mobile School Presentation at Seminole High in FL today and (what looks like to me) he also propositioned the two girls with the braces next to him?
The black girl one row back is so jealous she is throwing out the death stare! And just so you know my 15 year old inner self is giving Braces McGee the death stare too!

So here is one of Cudi’s new songs featuring Kanye West off of his upcoming album “Man on the Moon: The Legend of Mr. Rager”. I couldn’t manage to load the song onto DF, so there is a link to DatNewCudi.com. The song is called Erase me and I absolutely love it!  Check,check, check it out.

Kid Cudi and Kanye West- Erase Me

This new album is gonna be amazing…of course.

Drake won Best Male Hip Hop Artist last night at the 2010 BET Awards and it was well deserved. Beating out B.O.B, Ludacris, Fabolous, and the one and only Jay-Z. If you ask me these nominees are kinda whack. What has Fabolous done this year besides give us “Throw it in the Bag”? Whatever, at least Drizzy won, although Hov could have won too and I’d be happy, but his ass didn’t even bother to show up to the show so guess it’s better this way. What we could have done without was the whole damn Young Money team up on stage. Back up Lil’ Twist, this is Drakes moment, not yours.

So I love that EMINEM gets to perform at the Black Entertainment Television Awards. He is so amazing and if you haven’t bought his new album “Recovery” yet you are missing out. Last night he performed “I’m Not Afraid” which was his first single off the album. Every shot of the OG audience showed them either standing up or bobbing their heads to the beat which I found myself doing as well as I watched from my couch. Now all we need is Em’s to go on tour soon! Fingers Crossed XX

So last night at the BET Awards held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Chris Brown did an awesome tribute to the one and only MJ. Not only did he hold it down like no one else has yet to do in a tribute to the King of Pop since his untimely and devastating death, but I feel as though this will revive his career. Not only because he had the opportunity to showcase his amazing talent once again -since in the last year he has been barred from Awards shows and even Countries he was set to tour in due to the infamous night in which he assaulted Rihanna- but also due to what happened at the end of his performance. While singing Man in the Mirror, Brown broke down and cried. This I, as well as the rest of the audience, can assume was due to the lyrics hitting home with him, as they go  as follows-

” I’m Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life,
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .”

Everyone makes mistakes, especially young boys. Brown is only 21. I think all the haters and fans who have shunned him should take another look and give him a little credit. I hope this performance will help people see that.

So this track is off Eminem’s new album “Recovery” out June 22. I just heard this for the first time a few minutes ago, and even though there is no official video yet I had to put something up to share it with you. I am not going to say anything else other than I really like this song.

Eminem and Rihanna never fail me.
