Beatles are down to be on Rock Band


Rob Levine, N.Y.
It looks like the Beatles are coming to top-selling video game "Rock Band."

The Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd. and MTV have scheduled a press teleconference tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. ET to announce "an exclusive agreement to develop a global music project."

Although the announcement does not offer details on the agreement, representatives for the Beatles have been talking to MTV's "Rock Band" team for months.

If a deal is signed, "Rock Band" will have secured two of the top-selling catalog bands of all time for versions of the game. AC/DC recently became the subject of a "Rock Band Track Pack," featuring 18 live versions of hits like "Thunderstruck and "Back in Black." The title, like the band's new album, "Black Ice," is a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Both AC/DC and the Beatles remain absent from digital music services,
including the iTunes Music Store, AmazonMP3 and others.

MTV declined to comment.

Even with the television’s wide variety of reality shows, 50 is confident that his show transcend most shows and illuminate the hard work and sacrifice required to make in it the music business.

The Parents Television Council, they glad Rap City gone



The Parents Television Council (PTC), the Enough is Enough Campaign for Corporate Responsibility, the National Congress of Black Women, and Industry Ears were very happy that BET decided to boot off “Rap City.”

PTC and Enough is Enough Campaign’s recently did a study of daytime music video programming from BET and MTV and the result as of March 2008 indicated that children who watched BET’s “Rap City” and “106 & Park” and MTV’s “Sucker Free” were bombarded with adult content which were sexual, violent, profane or obscene once every 38 seconds.

Check out the official statement by PTC President Tim Winter; Enough is Enough Campaign Founder Dr. Delman Coates; National Congress of Black Women Chair Dr. E. Faye Williams; and Industry Ears Co-Founder Paul Porter:

“We are heartened by the recent changes at BET, and we are gratified that our collective efforts were a catalyst for this positive change. It is apparent that our voices were heard by the public, by the corporate sponsors who underwrite television programming and by BET network executives. Parents across this country want a cessation of marketing harmful, graphic and offensive images to children. But let us be clear about our goal: we are not trying to get a particular show cancelled or a particular executive fired. Rather, our goal is a reduction in the harmful and offensive messages on BET and MTV programming - especially when the programs are targeted at children. We have called for the networks to take responsibility for their products, and this program’s cancellation is evidence of a step in the right direction.”

MTV TRL to be cancelled... BET's Rap City next?


MTV confirmed that they will be cancelling TRL’s ten year run…Now we hear that BET has decided to canel BET Rap City. The economy must be really bad! We hear that the show will have its last day on the air on October 26th, 2008. No word yet as to which show will be taking its place in BET’s weekly line up.

Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of ‘Total Request Live, spoke with the Associated Press about MTV’s decision to end the program’s ten year run. “Ten a great number,” Sirulnick said. “This feels like the right time and let’s celebrate it and let’s reward it.” He added “Let’s let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute. Been working hard for 10 years!” The show will end in November with a special 2-hour show, taking place on a Saturday.

Sirulnick said he hopes to celebrate ‘TRL’ the finale with many of the “folks who helped make `TRL’ what it is — whether that’s Justin (Timberlake) and his guys in *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, Britney, Eminem — I think we would love to see all of them here.” That would also include the show’s original host, Carson Daly.

Is Creepa a fraud from G's to Gents?!?!


Miss Xpose tells us the inside scoop.

Fans of the reality show should know that Creepa is the winner of the first season of MTV’s from G’s To Gents. He won $100,000.00 for becoming a gentleman which was really tough for him. Supposedly, Creepa came from a violent background of Miami Gardens, Florida a place where his father was killed when he was just a child, and where day-to-day living was purely a matter of survival of the fittest, and luck of the draw. As a result, he learned at an age to be a thug to survive, and take care of his family. SUPPOSEDLY is the KEY WORD here…So, I get this email yesterday, and we hear that Creepa lied his way on the show…I’m not sure how true that is either, but check out this Media Release (which has some major typos in it from the Publicist) Miss Xpose received yesterday:

THE ”GENTLEMAN” IS A GOON”
MTV’s REALITY SHOW PRODUCED BY JAMIE FOXX ”FROM G’S TO GENTS” MIAMI WINNER LIES HIS WAY TO THE $100,000.00 PRIZE !!!!!

Miami FL - Miami Gardens resident Thaddeus ”CREEPA” Martin was crown a gentleman and walked away the winner of the $100,000.00 cash prize last night on MTV’s summer blockbuster hit reality show ”FROM G’S TO GENTS”. Produced partly by Oscar award winning actor JAMIE FOXX and brilliantly hosted by P Diddy’s ex-butler and recording artist, FONWORTH BENTLEY. Millions of MTV’s fans watched their favorite ”G” CREEPA win the prize as tears of joy streamed down the winner’s face after giving his seemingly heartfelt speech to why he should be crowned the winner.

Week after week fans had their hearts strings pulled as CREEPA told his story of being a ‘’street thug” tired of the life and looking for a change. How a disabled mother raised him after his father was murdered. How he had to work the streets to get money to care for his family as a young boy. How he suffers from heart problems and/or chest problems due to his hard life on the streets. Not to mention one of his friends was murdered while he was on the show ….oh no that was last week ….this week it was THREE FRIENDS and now he needed to the money to re-locate from his ”hood” in fear of his own life upon returning home.

As stated in his final statement to Mr. Bentley on last night’s final episode.
Was it all a lie?

In fact sources close to the family states the following:

CREEPA mother is not really disabled at all as seen when she appeared on the show 2 weeks ago. ”CREEPA’s mother worked for AT&T for years …over 20 year I think states a family friend …She is a home owner…they own their home! I know she stop working a couple of years ago because her hands hurt from typing for years but she is not disabled the way her son was lying on that show”. She adds ”If you call not working, drinking, smoking weed, getting high with CREEPA and living off poorly cared for foster kids disabled …then she is disabled”. Yes, CREEPA’s father was killed when he a two …but I know nothing of him being a ‘’street thug” or hustling living on the streets…his mother had a good job with benefits for years!
CREEPA is too lazy to hustle …he won’t work period! He moved a 17 year old girl in his mother’s house and she was the only one is the house working taking care of CREEPA! He kicked her out the day before he left to do the show…that girl took care of him for over a year. He later took her back in after he dumped his partner that put him on the show when he returned 4 weeks later bragging he fooled everyone and won the show. In fact CREEPA broke ties with everyone that ever did anything for him when he returned from that show.
As far as a friend being killed … I challenge him to name one friend…ONE that was killed during those 3 1/2 weeks he was on the show…. Forget about 3! When he said he needed the money to relocate out of fear of being killed …I almost fell off my chair! CREEPA has been home from day one! He’s home right now waiting for those suckers to give him that check! On his porch as always smoking weed with friends till the wee hours of da night. I know his partner, Tandy did try to move CREEPA to a $700,000 gated condo on the beach when he came home before she too learned of the extent of CREEPA’s lies …he would not move …cause he wanted to steal the money from her! Does that sound like somebody afraid for his or her life! It was all a con …a lie. And I feel sorry for a few of those guys on that show cause they all fell for a master liar. I can’t see how MTV didn’t know this kid was lying …there is something funny wit dat. I know he was real close with one of the producers on the show…she calls him still all the time still. Maybe the show was fixed.
I also feel for Mr. Bentley he was trying to do the right thing and Miami Dade County player just played him. He is 10 times worse than Rick Ross !!!

Remember CREEPA never won one of the challenges while on the show but yet HE won. Did he do it by telling lies, bulling others into not voting off him or perhaps by having a special friendship with one of the female producer’s from the show?
What message does that send to the children of our community…?
GOOD JOB MTV!

Tila with a slap in the face on the finale



The finale of Tila Tequila’s “A Shot at Love 2″ aired on MTV last night. Tila chose female finalist Kristy over potential boyfriend Bo. Bo was cleary hurt when Tila dimissed him. “I’ve been calling Tila my girlfriend for a long time now,” he said. “I really do love Tila.” He was heartbroken but gracious when he didn’t get a key, telling her, “You always got your Bo-bear.” When Tila surprised Kristy with the “key” to her heart, she was surprised herself as Kristy refused the key. “You love that I’m honest and that I’m true to my feelings and true about who I am,” she said. “If I take this key I’m not being true.” DAMN! “Why would you do that now?” Tila asked. “Why would you put me through all this process? … I feel humiliated.” Kristy did let Tila know earlier in the show that she was unsure of her feelings because she never had an “experience” with a woman before. WTF? Why even go on the damn show?

Kristy said, “I am 120 percent sure of my feelings for you, but I am unsure about my experience with women. I’ve never done this before. I’m so scared to hurt you.”

Well, Tila who always said that “No matter what, I’m going to be the one breaking someone’s heart,” ultimately got her heart broken…which I guess leaves room for another season of “A Shot of Love” (3).

After the show was over, Kristy said , “It would be a lot easier if she didn’t choose me.”

Watch the recap:
