Like“Thug Life”?
Rihanna has added a new tattoo to her collection of at least 14 tattoos, already made up of stars on her back, “shhh…” on her finger, and a skull tattoo on her ankle.
This time, the Talk That Talk singer inked herself with a tattoo familiar to the rap community. “Thug Life” is now permanently placed on her knuckles as a tribute to the late rapper Tupac who had the same phrase tattooed on his stomach. Thug Life is also the name of a music group Tupac started back in 1993.
Looking at the picture of Rihanna displaying her new ink, we can’t help but find it funny that she is wearing a t-shirt with the face of The Beatles member John Lennon on it. Not exactly what one would considered to be very “Thug”!
Shake up your Monday with some Hospitality
This is the type of sound that has us wishing it was summer. Wanting to roll down the windows and head west towards the beach with this Hospitality soundtrack playing in the background.
Up until 30 minutes ago, hospitality was a warm beverage, snack, and place to rest our head. But that’s all changed after listening to these two tracks form the band Hospitality. With their soon to be released (1/31) first album, under Merge Records, Hospitality has already won our hearts and place on our iPod. We hope you enjoy the sound of this trio of talent out of Brooklyn as much as we do!

It’s a Girl!
MTV Power Couple Beyonce and Jay-Z have welcomed baby girl Blue Ivy into the world on January 7, 2012. What a name, although we are not at all surprised they chose a unique one. We can only imaging the talent that this little girl has inherited from both her parents. We also can only imagine the amazing clothes Blue will be donning over the years. She will probably be a style icon within weeks of her first photo reveal . Watch out Suri Cruise, Blue Ivy Carter is coming to get ya!

‘Tis The Season
Besides the food, we are all in agreement that Holiday music is our second favorite part about the month of December. From the old standby classics like White Christmas and It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year to instant pop chart hits such as All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey and Death Cab For Cutie’s Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) we love them all. That’s why we want to share with you a new take on an old classic performed by She & Him off of their newly released Christmas Album, A Very She & Him Christmas. Enjoy the season and this song.
Also, check out this cool list of modern, lesser known, Holiday songs!
What’s Next?
News just broke that Lady Gaga has split from her long time creative director Laurieann Gibson. It has been assumed that there have been several disputes about the creative direction of many of Gaga’s performances in the past and clearly Gaga and Gibson can no longer work on a unified vision.
So what’s next for Lady Gaga? Sometimes we forgot about all of the work and people behind an artist; that there is so much more than just the individual. Gibson was likely a strong influence on Gaga and her artistic expression. We wonder what type of changes may be in her future and are curious if she may go in a new artistic direction now that she will no longer be working with Gibson.
It will definitely be interesting to watch Gaga over the next year or so and see how she continues to morph and adapt and grow as an artist.

Cupcakes and Fireworks!
Happy 1 Day Belated Birthday Katy Perry!
The Pop Princess celebrated her 27th birthday yesterday and instead of asking for the usual presents of jewelry, clothes, etc. she asked that her friends, family, and fans donate to the ASPCA. This is such a great idea! It’s always good to see celebrities using their fame to help support a cause.
Wonder if she also celebrated with cupcakes and fireworks?!
