Nicki Manaj Takes Over Mac Event And Ricky Martin's Shine!

M.A.C. Viva Glam Event held at Stage 37in New York Wednesday night

Daily News.com reports that the Latin singer Ricky Martin was upstaged by Nicki Minaj at the MAC Cosmetics Viva glam Launch Party on Wednesday night. The "Super Bass" singer arrived at Stage37 around 9:45 p.m. to find a hoard of young fans waiting for her.

"Many of them had fake IDs hoping they would get in," says a source who talked to many of the girls, and notes that some of them were as young as 13.

Minaj, clad in a brightly-colored bootylicious dress with bright blond hair and sky-high heels, took iPhone photos with her fans and yelling, "My babies! My barbs! I love you!" promised to get them into the club.

Ultimately, 10 fans, who were of age, were invited into the venue to join Minaj, designer Alexander Wang, Coco Rocha, and Christian Siriano.

Martin didn't get such a warm welcome from the singer, however.

Although photographers on the red carpet repeatedly begged Viva Glam's newest spokes-gal for HIV/AIDS awareness to pose for a shot with Martin, Minaj said she didn't have any time for it.

"She said she had another party to get to," said the insider, who noted that the two "got along" but weren't acting like besties.

Minaj did pose with the former Menudo member after the two rode onstage on a motorcycle in a cloud of fog, and another source disputes that there was any friction between the two, saying: Ricky had a great time with Nicki."

Are Whitney Houston's Family Feuding Over Her Final Resting Place?

Sources are reporting that the family of Whitney Houston are having a riff over where the late music icon will be laid to rest. Apparently Houston's mother Cissy and Cousin (singer Dionne Warwick) wanted her to be buried in Atlanta. The two felt that Atlanta is where Whitney had most of her fondest memories but the rest of the family felt that NJ raised her and should be her final resting place. It seems that the rest of the family will have their way. Houston's body arrived in Newark NJ late last night and plans are set for her to be laid to rest there later this week.

Hopefully the riff is over and the family can stand together for Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina. She needs all the support she can get at this time.

Super Star Singer/Actress Whitney Houston Dead At Age 48

ABC New Reports...

Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.
Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.
News of Houston's death came on the eve of music's biggest night — the Grammy Awards. It's a showcase where she once reigned, and her death was sure to case a heavy pall on Sunday's ceremony. Houston's longtime mentor Clive Davis was to hold his annual concert and dinner Saturday; it was unclear if it was going to go forward.

This is a very sad day in music RIP Queen Whitney Houston!

Soul Train Creator And Host Don Cornelius Dead Of Apparent Suicide!!!

La Sun Times Reports..."Soul Train" creator Don Cornelius was found dead at his Sherman Oaks on home Wednesday morning.

Law enforcement sources said police arrived at Cornelius' home around 4 a.m. He apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing.

The sources said there was no sign of foul play, but the Los Angeles Police Department was investigating.

In a 2010 interview with The Times, he said he was excited about a movie project he was developing about "Soul Train."

"We've been in discussions with several people about getting a movie off the ground. It wouldn't be the 'Soul Train' dance show, it would be more of a biographical look at the project," he said. "It's going to be about some of the things that really happened on the show."

According to a Times article, Cornelius’ “Soul Train” became the longest-running first-run nationally syndicated show in television history, bringing African American music and style to the world for 35 years.

Details Are Still Coming In On This Story..

RIP Don Cornelius

Love, Peace And Soul

Young Jeezy And T. I. Sign Up For Tyga's Star Studded Rack City Remix Video!

Get More: Music News

ATL rappers T.I. and Young Jeezy have joined the Rack City wave. The two has been added to the star roster that includes Fabolous and Wale for cameo appearances in Young Money's next man up to bat, Tyga's "Rack City Remix" video.

As reported by MTV News ...
Last week, the Young Money solider set up shop in Atlanta and invited T.I. and Young Jeezy to guest on his street hit and its upcoming visual.

"I heard the record, loved it, seen it go crazy in the club. I couldn't visualize it without a Young verse on there, so I just went ahead," Jeezy told MTV News from the video set. "The homey hit me up for the video, and we in the A-Town, we in the city, we here, turnt up."

Usually, pulling features from such big names is quite the chore, especially for newer artists like Tyga. But already, the "Rack City" remix features some pretty notable MCs, with the Snowman and Tip just the latest to jump onboard. "I didn't think the song would be bigger than outside of L.A., because that's like an L.A. sound," Tyga said, "So to have two of the legends that I'm big fans of on the record is crazy."

When talking about his decision to jump on the record, T.I. was as nonchalant as could be. "For me, I got reached out to. They told me to add my two cents in, so I did just that," Tip said. "When they told me the video was coming, I picked out an outfit."

During a separate January shoot for the same video, Wale joked about the influence Tyga's "Rack City" had on strippers. "I'm just happy that I can be a part of a record that's influencing and making so many young, ambitious dancers so much money," Wale playfully told MTV News while shooting the song's video down in Miami on January 13. "It's very beneficial to so many young women across the country. The strip clubs are stress relief. Welcome to Rack City!"
