I had to post this pic of one of the flyest new chicks in the game. Her name is Teyana Taylor, and she was a part of the BMI Unsigned Artist Showcase in Atlanta last week. I had to post this pic from Concrete Loop of her kicking it around the town with the CL crew. That alone speaks for itself; this girl is legit!!! You would best remember her from an episode of MTV's Sweet Sixteen...her party was BANGING and so is she!

Diddy & Kim Porter host huge Stunna 16 Party for their son Quincy
It went down real BIG on Saturday here in Atlanta as Kim Porter and Diddy threw one of the best parties of the year, and it wasn’t even for them. It was for their son Quincy (Diddy’s stepson and R&B artist Al B. Sure's son), and with a party of this caliber, you know it will be featured on MTV’s Sweet 16, but don’t let Quincy hear you call it “sweet”; he wants this one to go down as the Stunner 16 party. And stunt he did with a guest list that extended for miles, including Jermaine Dupri, Dallas Austin, Lauren London, Hurricane Chris, Rev. Run & son “Diggy”, Big Boi’s kids, and a host of other celebs. Congratulations Quincy, way to do it BIG!!!!

KANYE comments on VMAs and MTV
KANYE WEST had this to say about his time with MTV during the VMAs:
"I wasn’t mad that I just didn’t win any awards,” West says. “For me, [MTV] made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made ‘Stronger’ to open up the VMAs with a real power performance.
He’s already deaded plans to promote Graduation on MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL).
He also was heated at the comments made by Pamela Anderson Lee, who said that she and Kanye made out when he did that Evil Knievel video. Pamela said "One of the best times I've ever had was making out with the next performer in the middle of the desert. I think I had my tongue so far down his throat I could taste his fiancée – and I might need a repeat performance later tonight."
According to people.com, Ye said:
"I'm engaged, and I feel like it's disrespectful to my relationship," West says of Anderson's remarks, which he claims the network assured him would not happen.
Kanye also commented on MTV's treatment of Britney Spears:
“They exploited Britney in helping to end her career...When Britney was opening, near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, ‘Man, it’s a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.’"
MTV VMAs: Beyonce and Justin top the NOMS!
Timberlake was also nominated for male artist of the year and "most earth shattering collaboration" for pairing with Timbaland for "Sexy Back." Beyonce was nominated for female artist of the year and for her collaboration with Shakira on "Beautiful Liar."
West landed five nominations, including male artist of the year. He has often appeared prickly about losing awards, and on Tuesday he was still sore over being snubbed last year for his Evel Knievel spoof video "Touch the Sky." (In 2005, he did win best male video for "Jesus Walks.")
"I come to win. I don't come to lose," West told MTV Tuesday on "TRL," where the awards were announced. "I think there's some really strong competition this year."
Rihanna also received five nominations, propelled by her hit single, "Umbrella," which is up for "monster single of the year."
Also nominated for male artist of the year was Akon, T.I. and Robin Thicke. Rounding out the nominees for female artist of the year were Fergie and Nelly Furtado.
Amy Winehouse, whose album "Back to Black" was her second disc but her first released in the U.S., was nominated for best new artist. She received three nods, including female artist of the year.
Timbaland will serve as "maestro" for the night, booking the show's acts. "By me being maestro," said Timbaland, "I am the show."

May 19 - VH1's "Rock Docs" presents "The Last Days of Left Eye"
"The last day in the life of TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes began with an outdoor bath and her praising the sun, moments captured in filming she did in Honduras in April 2002 as she explored meaning in her existence," remarks BOB LONGINO of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
And, in the provocative documentary "The Last Days of Left Eye," moviegoers also witness her life's penultimate moment, riding along as passengers when Lisa struggles with the steering wheel of the Mitsubishi SUV. "It is shocking video, captured seconds before the crash that killed her one month before her 31st birthday."
RUN'S HOUSE - The best MTV programming ever!
Let's Adopt!
Now, the couple is leaning strongly towards adoption. Justine told America’s Essence magazine that, “I always wanted to adopt, but every time I mentioned it my husband would say, 'Why not have your own baby?' We take for granted that we can just have a baby. But I couldn't. Maybe part of the reason God let this happen is because He wanted us to adopt."
Season 3 should reveal the additions or lack thereof to the Simmons’ family.
