While performing at the 2015 Jazz and Blues Festival on Friday, Mariah Carey cheated her fans when she did not even try to sing her own songs, but choose instead to lip sync… when she felt like it.

This dude will be 50 years old in April. When? When is he going to realize that living the thug life might have already passed him by some 30 years ago?
Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight has seen his share of legal troubles. But if the allegations against him for an incident Thursday prove true, the convicted felon could find himself behind bars for a long, long time.
Police in Los Angeles say a man matching Knight’s description drove over two men with his red pick up truck — and then drove over them again as he sped away from the scene.
One man died; the other’s condition wasn’t disclosed.
“So far, people we talked to said it looked like it was an intentional act. So we’re handling it as a homicide,” Los Angeles Police Lt. John Corina said.
The hit-and-run stemmed from an argument Knight allegedly had on the set of the N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton” and then spilled over to the parking lot of Tam’s Burgers.
“A red pickup truck is involved in this, and those people were also at the other altercation, so yes, it all suggests that he was the person driving that truck,” Corina said.
The tweet from Dropkick Murphys was directed to Republican governor, Scott Walker – “Please stop using our music in any way…we literally hate you !!! Love, Dropkick Murphys.”
When the Celtic punk rock band tweeted those words at Wisconsin governor Scott Walker over the weekend, it wasn’t the first time they’d expressed their displeasure with the Republican governor’s policies. The band (whose left-leaning members have a tight relationship with workers’ rights activists) has previously slammed the governor as ”anti-union.”
This time, they were pissed that Walker had used their song “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” as entrance music at the Iowa Freedom Summit on Saturday.
“I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” which uses lyrics originally penned by Woody Guthrie, is Dropkick Murphys’ biggest hit, and was prominently featured in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning drama The Departed.
Dropkick Murphys’ tweet is one of many examples of liberal recording artists telling conservative politicians to quit using their music. John Mellencamp knocked Gov. Walker for playing his song “Small Town” out on the campaign trail. Tom Petty sent a cease-and-desist to George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, asking the then-Texas governor to quit playing “I Won’t Back Down” at rallies. And Newt Gingrich was accused of violating copyright laws for blasting the Heavy’s “How Do You Like Me Now?” at an event in Tampa, Florida.

“America’s favorite dad” has been on the receiving end of some bad press recently since numerous women came forward accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting them. But the 77-year-old comedian is apparently not fazed by all the negative press. He is not allowing those allegations to slow him down.
During a performance before a crowd last night in Ontario, Cosby saw a woman leave her seat and began exiting the auditorium. He asked where she was going to which she replied, “getting a drink.” She then asked Cosby if he wanted a drink too. Cosby replied that he already had one then told the woman, “but, you know, you should be careful drinking around me,” as reported by Richard Warnica, a reporter from the National Post in Toronto.
“The whole audience sort of ‘Ohhhed,'” Warnica added. “It was just this sort of shocking moment.”
Shortly after the joke, a heckler yelled during the performance and was removed. The heckler was in addition to more than 100 protesters who were outside the arena last night.
After the show, Cosby released a new statement from his publicist, saying “One outburst but over 2600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exist for human-kind. Laughter. I thank you… I’m Far From Finished.”
Cosby has denied any allegations of wrongdoing ever since allegations first surfaced in 2004. More women came forward late last year, to which his lawyer released a statement early on saying, “The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true.”
Yes, we get to watch Sylvester Stallone, who is almost the oldest man on earth, play the baddest man on earth in yet another Rocky movie.
The Rambo star tweeted Dec. 28 that the title of the forthcoming fifth film in the franchise will be Rambo: Last Blood. The title refers to 1982’s First Blood, which launched the character.
“Doing Scarpa based on Gangster Greg Scarpa after LAST BLOOD RAMBO…” Stallone wrote about his upcoming projects.
Stallone, who wrote the script for the new Rambo film and is set to direct, will first film a role in director Ryan Coogler’s upcoming Rocky spinoff Creed, which stars Michael B. Jordan (That Awkward Moment) as Apollo Creed’s grandson Adonis.
The revelations came in a leaked Sony email written earlier this year and it suggested the next James Bond should be Idris Elba.
Hey, we have a black president, why not a black 007?
In an email dated Jan. 4, Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s motion pictures group, wrote to Elizabeth Cantillon, former executive vice president of production for Columbia Pictures, which distributes the Bond films, simply saying: “Idris should be the next bond,” according to a report from The Daily Beast.
There has been speculation for some time that Elba, 42, was a possible replacement when the current Bond, Daniel Craig, departs the franchise. A Facebook group called “We Want Idris Elba For James Bond” has 30,000 members.
Craig is currently filming “Spectre,” his fourth screen outing as the iconic British spy. He is contracted to appear in one more Bond film after “Spectre,” according to The Guardian.
Some people got way too much money.
A self-confessed Kim Kardashian fan has spent more than $156,000 on plastic surgery to look like his idol.
Jordan James Parke is a British makeup artist who fell in love with the reality TV star after watching an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
“I love everything about Kim,” Parke said to The Sun.
“She’s the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair, everything about her.”
The 23-year-old’s had more than 50 cosmetic procedures to transform himself into a Kim lookalike, including Botox, lip fillers, eyebrow tattoos and laser hair removal.
Much like Kardashian herself, Parke has plenty of haters, but he’s not bothered.
“I laugh when people try to insult me by telling me I look plastic or fake,” he said.
“Do they think I’m going for the natural look? If I was, I’d ask for my money back.”
Apparently, Kim Kardashian’s idea of a selfie is a picture with Kim Kardashian, and all others will be cropped, including her own daughter, North.
But don’t worry, after posting the cropped picture with her daughter’s face still partly visible to her 23 million followers, TMZ reports that her fans let her have it with comments like, — “Seriously you can’t even let your own child in a picture with you #selfishness” — “Lmao if she loved her child she wouldnt have cropped out the pic” — “Narcissism at it’s finest” — “crop game strongggg, poor North your mom would rather showoff a brick wall than you…..SHAME!!!”
In all fairness, that is a lovely wall.
“Selma,” the movie about the famed march by Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists, opens in selected theaters on December 25th and nationwide on January 9th, but already the cast of the show is living up to expectations, following in the footsteps of the man and the movement the show is based on – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Following the lead of the civil rights activist and more recently professional athletes like LeBron James and Andrew Hawkins, the cast of “Selma” wore the I Can’t Breathe t-shirt at the premier if the movie. “I can’t breathe,” were the last words spoken by Eric Garner, as he was choked to death by a New York police officer.
The photo is striking: David Oyelowo, who plays Martin Luther King Jr. in the film, stands in front of a crowd that includes director Ava DuVernay and co-stars Lorraine Toussaint, Wendell Pierce, André Holland, Tessa Thompson, Omar Dorsey, and more. Many of them play King’s fellow activists, the people who joined him in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 to plan what eventually became the famous march from Selma to Montgomery.
The film is based on fame, feminism, loss, death and love and is narrated by Beyonce.
“When you’re famous no one looks at you as a human anymore,” she says. “You become the property of the public. There’s nothing real about it.”
