Rihanna Having Fun With Drake on "What's My Name" Video Set.

Rihanna has shot a music video for single "What's My Name" with Drake in New York City's Tribeca on Wednesday, October 27, and a photo of them together on the set has surfaced. Brought out by Just Jared, the set pictures captured the twosome sharing a laugh while lounging on a couch.

Of the 22-year-old's vibe with Drake who was once linked romantically to her, an on-set source said, "Ri and Drake looked like longtime pals and got along great. When he arrived on set, she yelled out, 'Drizzy!' And they hugged." For the video shoot, the "Only Girl (In the World)" singer was spotted sporting a pair of cutoff jean shorts and a nude low-cut tank.

"What's My Name" is the second single off Rihanna's fifth studio album "Loud", which is due for U.S. release on November 16. The Barbadian beauty has previously described the track produced by Stargate as "young" and "playful". A remix version that features Drake is slated to appear as a bonus cut on her latest effort.

When talking about her collaboration with Drizzy, Rihanna previously gushed, "Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we've always been trying to work together." She went on, "He's the only person I thought could really understand the melody of the song, and the minute he heard it he said, 'I know exactly what I'm going to do. I love it.' And he did it like three days later." 

Lady Gaga Has "Spiritual" Commitment Ceremony With Boyfriend.

Lady GaGa has undergone a "spiritual" commitment ceremony with her boyfriend. The "Paparazzi" hitmaker and Luc Carl reportedly professed their love for one another in an intimate moonlight service on the Greek island of Crete last week.

"It was their first step towards marriage," a source said. "They both dressed up and said beautiful handwritten vows. They then exchanged rings in a spiritual service and drank shots before sitting down to a lovely private dinner at a tiny restaurant."

"They wanted to show that they are committed to each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They are still planning to marry, but that will come later when she has the time to plan a big Italian-style wedding."

GaGa wore a long white dress which fastened at the stomach for the ceremony, which was witnessed by a handful of close friends, while Luc donned a white suit jacket and silver zebra print leggings.

The eccentric singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, is said to have realized the strength of her feelings for Luc following the recent death of her grandfather Joseph Germanotta. The source added to Grazia magazine, "Since her beloved grandfather died last month, Luc has been her rock and she's also had a reminder of just how short life is. She says he's 'The One' and she doesn't want to lose him ever again." 

Ongoing Strikes Forces Lady Gaga to Delay Paris Show...

Lady GaGa has been forced to postpone her Paris shows because of ongoing strikes. In its announcement released on Wednesday, October 20, Live Nation cited that the logistical difficulties have left the "Bad Romance" hitmaker unable to continue with her plan to perform at Bercy on October 22 and 23.


"As a result of the logistical difficulties due to the strikes in France," the statement posted on GaGa's website read, "Live Nation today announced that the Lady Gaga performances in Paris at Bercy previously scheduled for this Friday and Saturday 22 & 23 October are postponed until 19 & 20 December, 2010."


"Unfortunately, as there is no certainty that the trucks can make it to the Bercy for this weekend's shows, the Lady Gaga performances are now postponed," Live Nation further explained. "The December 19th concert will replace the 22-October show and December 20th concert will replace the 23-October performance."


Fans will have until November 14 to turn in their tickets for a refund or exchange them with a new ticket for either of the winter dates at their point of purchase. It is further stressed in the press release, "Tickets dated October 22 and 23 will not be valid at the new dates." The statement concluded with "Lady Gaga apologizes to her fans for any inconvenience."


Paris, France has been in the throes of civil upheaval ever since President Nicolas Sarkozy announced a proposal that lift up the standard age for pension benefit receiver from 60-62 to 65-67. As a result, a lot of workers including employees of France's oil refineries have gone on strike, which leads to fuel shortages throughout the country. 

My selection novel is Deity by Max J. Pucher. Deity is the story of a brilliant man who is not willing to accept second-hand knowledge from scripture as a satisfactory explanation for our human existence. The ultimate answer he finds to our questions is not the one he was looking for. The main character of this novel is Peter Egli, the Swiss CEO of VedaLogic, envisions new applications for artificial intelligence that will solve humanity’s most vexing problems. Peter’s private life strangely intertwines with recurring patterns of religious intolerance. Islamic terror that, out of context, seems like madness is revealed to be the Dharma, the invisible truth. While the slightest flutter of butterfly wings in the Amazon Delta can change the weather in Chicago, it takes senseless murder, bombs in Jerusalem and the tumbling of the Word Trade Center to change Peter Egli. So, this novel actually same with my real situation right now. Maybe...... huhuhuhu...

Perancangan Untuk Tahun Depan....

         
          Bertuah sungguh kalau ada siapa-siapa yang baca blog aku ni. Hari ni aku nak luahkan perancangan aku untuk tahun depan. Dah lama aku pendamkan cita-cita ni. Yalah.... kita hanya mampu merancang dan hanya Allah S.W.T sahaja yang menetukan samada perancangan kita itu dapat dicapai atau tidak. 

          Sem ni aku rasa penat sangat handle sebagai ketua bilik, ketua kelas dan ketua part 1 CS 110 2010. Aku bukan nak merungut. Tapi semua ni aku tak minta pun. Ianya datang secara pantas ke aku. Aku terima dengan seadanya tanpa menyoal apa-apa.


          Tujuan aku masuk u ni, yang pertama : aku tak nak bekerja di Agrobank sebagai Pegawai Pemasaran. Ianya terlalu penat dan menyusahkan. Hati aku hanya untuk seni iaitu muzik. Aku rasa terseksa bekerja dalam keadaan yang amat stress di dalam pejabat. Aku cuba mencari ikhtiar untuk keluar dari kepompong ni.


      
          Kemudian aku dapat  tawaran masuk UiTM Jengka berdekatan dengan rumah aku. Hahahahaha.... Inilah peluang keemasan aku untuk lari dari masalah yang aku pingkul selama 3 bulan. Pada masa yang sama aku ingin ceburi bidang seni nyanyian ketika aku masuk universiti nanti sebagai pekerjaan sampingan aku.


          Sebelum bekerja di Agrobank, aku dah banyak masuk audition nyanyian dan lakonan untuk mencapai impian. Rezeki tak menyebelahi aku. Seminggu sebelum masuk UiTM aku dapat tawaran jadi model di Setapak di Red Carpets Aaron Agency. Aku jadi berbelah bahagi nak masuk UiTM atau jadi model.


           Aku cuba lawan nafsu dahulu demi pelajaran. 3 bulan di UiTM aku dapat tawaran panggilan dari sebuah agensi lakonan untuk offer aku jadi pelakon di Slot Lestary. Kebetulan masa tu bulan puasa. Cabaran banyak sangat. Aku terpaksa postpone cita-cita sebab sibuk dengan kelas dan ujian.


             Jadi, sekarang sem 1 pun nak habis. Sem 2 bakal menjelma. Aku dah nampak cita-cita aku sedang memanggil aku. Aku nak lepaskan semua jawatan aku kepada orang lain. Tanpa semua jawatan ni aku rasa ringan sangat beban aku. Dan aku boleh mengejar impaian aku sambil belajar. Tapi masalahnya sekarang, kawan-kawan aku tak nak jawatan yang aku pikul ni lepas ke tangan orang lain. Diorang nak aku teruskan.

          Jadi, kawan-kawan sekalian. Tolonglah vote orang lain pulak sebagai ketua kelas dan ketua part 2 2011. Huhuhuhuhuhu......

          "Music is my life, glamour is my lif., So, music, glamour and me in one life...."

Rihanna Goes Bold in Her 'LOUD' Album Cover

posted on Sep 29, 2010

Rihanna has opted to go bold in her album cover of "LOUD". In the album cover that has been released, the "Rude Boy" hitmaker is seen wearing a bright red lipstick and let loose her red hair as she is being the center of the cover itself.

"LOUD" has been scheduled to be released on market across the U.S. on November 16. Its lead single is "Only Girl (In the World)" and the second single of it will reportedly be "What's My Name?".

Lady Gaga Wears meat Dress to VMAs as Sign of Protest

Lady GaGa has drawn criticism after wearing a raw meat dress from Franc Fernandez when accepting her Video of the Year nod at 2010 MTV Video MusicAwards. The "Bad Romance" hitmaker, however, was quick to explain that her dress doesn't contain message against animal rights. It was rather tied to her protest against the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres immediately after the VMAs on Sunday night, September 12, the big winner at the annual awards first confirmed it was her sign of support to her gay fans who have served and been discharged under the policy. "It is a devastation to me that I know my fans who are gay ... feel like they have governmental oppression on them. That's actually why I wore the meat tonight," she said.

"It's certainly no disrespect to anyone that's vegan or vegetarian," the 24-year-old further explained. "As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening, it's 'If we don't stand up for what we believe in, we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones.' "

GaGa has angered PETA for donning the beefy number to the event. In a statement, PETA president Ingrid E. Newkirk slammed the singer, "Lately, Lady Gaga has been having a hard time keeping her act 'over the top'. Wearing a dress made out cuts of dead cows is offensive enough to bring comment, but someone should whisper in her ear that there are more people who are upset by butchery than who are impressed by it."

On Sunday, Lady GaGa has shown her domination at this year's MTV VMAs bynailing eight Moonmen. She grabbed Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Dance Video among a number of other kudos. Meanwhile, her interview with Ellen will air on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Monday, September 13 afternoon.
