J-Lie 'Get It on the Low' Video: Jim Jones Serves Rhymes in Rapper's Visuals

TK

Rapper J-Lie calls on Dip Set capo Jim Jones for an assist on "Get It on the Low", a single from his forthcoming mixtape, Ears First, Hearts Next, due later this month.

"I am here to get the attention of your ears first and then your heart next," J-Lie says of the project. "'Get It on the Low' is the start of that mission. Everything I have been through prior to get to this point almost doesn't count. Welcome to my world."

Mariah Carey's Shocking Spandex Pants: Hit or Miss -- Photo, Poll

AP

Since giving birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe last year, Mariah Carey has shed an astonishing 30 pounds. The weight loss has restored her confidence, and the singer is feeling so good that she took to the stage yesterday (April 30) in Austria, wearing the most dreaded and unforgiving of fabrics: spandex.

Mariah might have the bod to pull it off, but unless camel toes are all the rage in Europe, we're thinking maybe her red-and-black pants weren't quite the right size. Take a look -- but you know, not too close -- at the singer's skintight outfit and then voice your opinion via The BoomBox poll below.

Kate Upton, 'Cat Daddy': Model Dances to Rej3ctz Track in Tiny Bikini -- Video

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton likes to engage in some hip-hop fun. The 19-year-old Michigan native, who covers the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, shows off her dance moves using Bay area rap trio The Rej3ctz' hit "Cat Daddy." The action occurs during a photo shoot with famed photographer Terry Richardson, the NY Daily News reports.

Upton, dressed in a tiny red bikini, grooves to the beat and performs the "wheelchair dance," a move that looks as if she's actually pushing the chair's wheels.

Santigold 'Master of My Make-Believe': Singer's Irrepressible Personality Shines in New York

This May Day marks the release of Santigold's sophomore effort, Master of My Make-Believe, an album that arrives a full four years after her debut. The Philly-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter has been away a long time -- not long enough to lose her relevance or miss out on the globalist-maximus, all-genre pop moment she helped usher into being, but long enough, it turns out, to forget the lyrics to "You'll Find a Way," a favorite from her first record.

"Does anyone know the words?" the artist born Santi White and formerly known as Santogold asked the audience Monday at New York City's Bowery Ballroom, where she previewed much of the new album. One fan said he did, but when Santigold passed him the mic, hoping he'd jar her memory, she found him to be of little help.

"Go ahead, you know you want," the fan said, starting strong but then trailing off. "Something, something, something."

Akon 'Hurt Somebody' Video: French Montana Supports Rapper in the Ring

"Rocky" goes 'hood in Akon's new video for "Hurt Somebody," the French Montana-assisted single from the Konvict Music boss' forthcoming Stadium album.

The gritty clip opens with Akon and French -- a former Konvict signee who left the label and subsequently linked up with Bad Boy -- making their way to the gym. There, the Senegalese American rhymer and producer does some hardcore training, and before long, we see why: He's gearing up for an ultimate-fighting bout with a big, bad dude with Mr. T hair and a Rick Ross beard.

Bobby Brown will speak out for the first time since the death of his ex-wife Whitney Houston in an interview with NBC's "Today" show anchor Matt Lauer this week. The "My Prerogative" singer opens up about being blamed for Houston's untimely demise. "I'm not the reason she's gone," he discloses.

Admitting he's been sober and off drugs for seven years, Brown revealed that he was clueless about Houston's own drug use up until the time of her death. "I was hurt. I was hurt ... Because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years -- I felt that she was, you know, I didn't know she was struggling with it still," said Brown, who pled no contest last Wednesday (April 26) to his March DUI arrest.

Jennifer Hudson Accused of 'Outrageous' Special Treatment at Family Murder Trial

CHICAGO (AP) - Jennifer Hudson arrives each day at the trial of the man accused of killing three of her close family members with her personal bodyguards in tow. She uses a secret entrance to elude photographers, eats in private and waits for proceedings to start in normally off-limits judge's chambers.

The Oscar winner, recently named one of the world's 50 most beautiful women by People magazine, slips from the courtroom during particularly gory testimony.

Do the accommodations for the actress and singer add up to special star treatment?

"Absolutely not," said Irv Miller, a judge's liaison at the trial, which is into its second full week.
