It seems that Tulisa has invested in a new set of teeth.
Cheryl Cole got a new Hollywood smile sometime after winning her place in Girls Aloud, and now Tulisa has done the same since being featured more in the public eye, due to X Factor.
A source told The Sun:
“Tulisa has not got bad teeth by any stretch of the imagination. She’s hardly Austin Powers. Since she became famous she has become aware they are not perfectly aligned, so she decided to pay for a bit of help. It didn’t come cheap but she is determined she will look the part.”
Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Bruno Mars, will.i.am, Bruno Mars, and ?uestlove are to appear in an episode of The Cleveland Show about the Illuminati secret society.
Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland said:
“We have an episode where Kanye and will.i.am, playing himself, and Nicki Minaj, playing herself, and Bruno Mars, playing himself, and ?uestlove—they’re all part of the rap Illuminati, the secret group that controls pop culture.”
Executive producer Rich Appell explained:
“Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him down. We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and will and Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great.”

In related news it has been reported that Chery Cole is set to re-record the vocals on a track written and produced by Black Eyed Peas man Will.I.Am which was intended for Cher Lloyd.
Lloyd told The Daily Star that she was “not fussed” about the missing track. She added: “The song was good, but it just wasn’t meant to be.”
Jennifer Lopez has given Vanity Fair her first interview since announcing her split from husband Marc Anthony.
Speaking about her marriage breakdown, the American idol judge said:
“This was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face,” said the 42-year-old. “I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn’t work – and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love…It’s still my biggest dream.”
“I will always respect Marc as a singer and performer.” She added, “We actually work great together, and he was always very supportive. Together we could make magic – and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children.”

Amy Winehouse’s parents believe that quitting drinking played a part in their daughter’s death.
The deceased singer apparently stopped drinking for three weeks prior to her death, and her family believe her fragile body was unable to cope with the drastic change in her drinking habit.
Doctors had advised Amy to stop drinking gradually, but the ‘Back To Black’ singer insisted she couldn’t do it gradually, but would rather just quit at once, a source told The Sun:
“[Mitch] said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs. Amy told him she couldn’t do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely.”
A post-mortem into Amy’s death undertaken on Monday came back inconclusive, so a toxicology test will hopefully give a reason as to how the singer died.
After releasing the viral tracks ‘Dreams Money Can Buy’ and ‘Marvin’s Room’, Drake is prepped to release his first single from ‘Take Care’.
The rapper’s new single will be called ‘Headlines’ and is expected to drop soon!
In related news Rolling Stone Magazine got to visit Drake in studio to listen to the new material- read an excerpt below.
He cues up several tracks in various states of completion, all of which sit squarely in the sparse, somber register that’s become his trademark. “Shot for Me,” the likely album opener, is a marvel of melancholy bravado: He sings “Bitch, I’m the man” in a moan that undercuts the brag, over a beat (courtesy of Shebib) that pairs aching synthesizer notes with an exhilarating barrage of high-hats. Other highlights include “Free Spirit,” featuring Rick Ross and the refrain “Tat my name on you so I know it’s real,” and “The Real Her,” a narcotically woozy love song with detuned pianos and a Lil Wayne guest spot. Drake is also looking forward to collaborating with Abel Tesfaye, a.k.a. buzzy R&B gloomster the Weeknd — and, if he gets his wish, veteran beatsmith DJ Premier, Florence and the Machine’s Florence Welch, and the xx’s Jamie Smith. “No matter who’s on it, it goes through the Drake filter,” Shebib says. “He’s so hands-on about how everything sounds.”
Tyler, the Creator, further ignited his ‘feud’ with Bruno Mars by tweeting that he is determined to win the VMA for ‘Video of the Year’ over Bruno Mars.
Tyler, who dissed Bruno Mars with the rest of Odd Future on the track ‘Yonkers’ tweeted:
“I am nominated for video of the f***ing year nigguh what the f*** is good niggau!!!!!!!!!!!” the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All member posted in capital letters. “If I f***ing lose to f***ing bruno f***ing mars im going on a killing spree. deada**.”
Kim Kardashian is apparently suing clothing brand Old Navy for using a female who looks like her in their new advert.
The look-a-like in question is Melissa Molinaro, who is also dating Kim’s ex, Reggie Bush!
According to TMZ, Kim’s rep said:
“Old Navy launched a multimedia advertising campaign featuring television and online ads that misappropriate Kardashian’s likeness in the form of a celebrity look-alike, and styled the infringing ads to evoke Kardashian’s identity and persona.
Kim Kardashian is immediately recognisable, and is known for her look and style. Her identity and persona are valuable. When her intellectual property rights are violated, she intends to enforce them.”
UK rapper Dizzee Rascal was reportedly thrown off a plane after allegedly hurling abuse at a female stewardess while on the way to Portugal for the Optimus Alive Festival.
Apparantly, Dizzee lost his temper after his flight sat on the ground for over an hour because of technical problems. Police were called and escorted him off the BA flight. There will now be an investigation to decide whether Dizzee receives a ban from the airline.
A spokesperson for the singer said ‘unprofessional behaviour’ by one of the cabin crew “led to a confrontation whereby mutual parties agreed Dizzee leave the plane…he is very disappointed not to be able to perform and apologises to his fans.”
Despite giving birth to #dembabies only 2 months ago, Mariah Carey looked in great shape whilst attending a private party over here in the UK yesterday.

Yesterday, Jay Z invited a selection of music journalists, bloggers, magazine reps and two competition winners to the Mercer Hotel in NYC where he previewed tracks from Watch the Throne, the hotly anticipated album collaboration with Kanye West. A suite had been transformed into a recording studio and the session reportedly lasted for 3 hours.
Exclusives from the preview tell us that Odd Future’s Frank Ocean features on a track with the only other collabo going to Beyonce on ‘Lift Off’. The album will also feature a track where both Jay and Kanye rap lyrics dedicated to their unborn sons. Speaking of Kanye’s verse where he talks about his past mistakes, Jay thought it was one of his best ever:
“The honesty of it, it’s just really cool.”
Jay Z also shared that he has already completed two tracks for his new solo album. He said:
“I know exactly the tone and the whole feel of the next album. It’s different. It’s not weird…I never had two songs this early, before my current project came out…They are really f***ing good. I can tell you that.”
