Lil Wayne And Eminem's Drop The World' Music Video Debuts

Consider it a parting gift from "Weezy F. Baby" to his fans. On the weekend before his  scheduled prison sentencing, Lil Wayne unveiled the helter-skelter video for "Drop The World," the standout track from his "Rebirth" album.

'

The clip features the prolific rapper and his guest MC, Eminem, spitting verses in the middle of a bleak, Gotham City-style riot scene filled with skater punks, flaming tires and shattered glass. "I search but never find/ hurt but never cry/ I work and forever try/ but I'm cursed, so nevermind," Wayne states in a matter-of-fact manner before delving into "Drop the World's" hyper-aggressive chorus.

A headstrong Em nearly steals the spotlight from the New Orleans rapper, and the two paint a vivid picture of strength amidst chaos -- something Wayne could sure use right about now.

Nicole Scherzinger To Be joined By New Pussycat Dolls

 

Nicole Scherzinger has confirmed she is going to be joined by a host of new Pussycat Dolls.

The singer has seen two members of the girl group, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, quit in the last week but rather than be worried for the band’s future Nicole is excited about the new members coming in.

Nicole – who has been in discussions with group founder Robin Antin about the incoming members - said: 'We're going to have a new cast of Dolls. And I'm excited.'

The 31-year-old pop beauty has been in the studio working on new material for the next Pussycat Dolls album and insists fans should start getting excited.

She added to MTV News: 'Right now I've been in the studio working on music non-stop. We're going to have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there, but that's going to be late this year.

"I'm still Nicky Doll. And I'm just ploughing away in the studio making music that I love."

However, not all of the tracks Nicole is currently working on will definitely make the next Pussycat Dolls album.

She explained: 'I don't know if I'm going to put all the new music out under my name yet or if it's going to be perfect for the Dolls.

'It doesn't matter. I just want to make great music for the fans.'

Celebrities Pay Tribute To Francis M On First Death Anniversary

Celebrities paid tribute to Filipino music icon Francis Magalona on Saturday in a mix of sorrow and celebration, exactly a year after the rapper-songwriter succumbed to leukemia.

Magalona's actress-daughter Maxene, clad in shirts bearing her father's face, led a group of rappers in singing the Magalona hits "Man from Manila" and "Higante" on the noontime show Eat Bulaga.

The show's hosts, led by Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, presented a bust of the rapper to his family led by his widow Pia Magalona.

"Ngayong araw na nagpaalam tayo [kay] Kiko Magalona..Pasasalamat na rin ito para sa buong pamilya Magalona sa pagbibigay sa amin ng pagkakataon na maging bahagi ng Eat Bulaga si Francis Magalona. Tanggapin niyo ito mula sa lahat ng nagmamahal kay Kiko. Ito ang alaala ni Kiko. Patuloy na mananatili siya sa ating mga puso," a teary-eyed Sotto said.

(On this date we said goodbye to Kiko Magalona. Now it’s also to say thanks to the whole Magalona family for giving us the chance for Francis Magalona to be part of Eat Bulaga. Accept this [token of appreciation] from all who love Kiko. This is in his memory. He will remain always in our hearts.)

"At kung lumuha man noon ang Eat Bulaga, ang araw na ito naman ngayon ay gagawin naming pasasalamat, dahil nakasama namin ang nag-iisang kagaya ni Kiko… Salamat Kiko sa lahat ng magagandang alaalang iniwan mo. Ilang taon man ang dumaan, hinding hindi namin makakalimutan. We love you, Kiko, and we miss you," De Leon said.

(And if all of Eat Bulaga was teary-eyed that day, this day in turn we will make into a thanksgiving, because we knew a unique person like Kiko. Thanks Kiko for all the great memories you left us. Years may pass, but we will never forget. We love you, Kiko, and we miss you.)

Magalona, more popularly known as Kiko, co-hosted the noontime show with De Leon and Sotto, among others, even during his ordeal with leukemia.

"Maraming salamat sa Eat Bulaga for this tribute to my dearest Francis M. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng suporta sa mga awit na ginawa niya, sa pakikinig sa kanyang mga tinuturo..You should not feel bad. You should celebrate life, kasi iyon ang gusto ni Francis M., na i-celebrate niya iyong sarili niyang buhay para gumanda talaga itong bansang Pilipinas. Kanya-kanya tayong gawa sa sarili natin," Pia Magalona said to loud applause from the audience.

(Many thanks to Eat Bulaga for this tribute to my dearest Francis M. Many thanks for all the support for all the songs he made, for listening to his messages. You should not feel bad. You should celebrate life, because that’s what Francis M.would have wanted, that he celebrate his own life to help glorify our country Philippines. Each of us are doing what we can.)

Magalona passed away on March 6, 2009 at the age of 44. Considered a legend in the Filipino music industry, Magalona's popular songs include "Kaleidoscope World," "Mga Kababayan," "Halalan," "Meron Akong Ano!"
