By Margaret Hartmann , Hollywood.com Staff | Sunday, May 06, 2012 No Doubt said it would release a new album before Christmas last year, but after the date was pushed back and Gwen Stefani described their writing process as "desperate," the LP's future looked, well, doubtful.

The lovely LisaRaye did not hold back in her JET cover star. The Chicago-bred actresses addresses longstanding rumors about the reported fight between she and Stacey Dash on the set of Single Ladies . LisaRaye also addresses her relationship with another former co-star, Duane Martin . What happened with Stacey Dash leaving the show? Believe me I wish things had worked out because I thought Stacey and I were great together. She was my age and we were working it. It was sex-symbol to sex-symbol. But she didn’t want to be there. I was disappointed about that. She had some issues. I’m not sure exactly what those issues were. In the end, she and VH1 made a decision. Did the reported nasty exchange really happen? Yes, there was a disagreement over a scene. And it really wasn’t with me. It was with the director. I think it was about 2 or 3AM and we’d been shooting all damn day. Stacey tried to argue with the director about a lin

 By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Posted 57 mins ago by MTV News in Music News Will Smith may be one of Hollywood's nicest guys...just don't try to kiss him. TMZ reports that Big Willie slapped a male reporter at the "Men In Black 3" premiere   in Moscow who tried to give him a peck or two on the cheek and on the lips on the red carpet.  "What the hell is your problem, man?" a visibly angry Smith says and pushes off the affectionate  Ukrainian  reporter from 1+1 . "He tried to kiss me on my mouth. He's lucky I didn't sucker punch him" Will explained to another person there following the incident.  A source on scene told TMZ,  "the reporter's mouth brushed up against Will's and that's why the actor reacted so violently. Despite the incident, Will stayed positive ... and happily continued to sign autographs for fans and do red carpet interviews." Smith (who played an openly gay character in the 19

It’s been a good week for Linkin Park fans: Not only did they get a new song, the skinny on the new album ‘Living Things’ and dates for the band’s upcoming tour with Incubus — now they get more of Linkin Park in the new promo for TNT’s NBA playoff coverage. The clips of the music video appears to be rather straightforward as far as LP videos go: Gone are the high-tech CGI effects and Transformers of videos past, and in their place is simply a band, some lights and a fog machine. Perhaps the video is a symbolic representation of the back to basics approach the band employed on ‘Living Things.’ “The record gets back to our roots and it’s captured a feeling that we haven’t gon

Responding to President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage, commander-in-chief of hip-hop Jay-Z has weighed in with his own support of equality. In the video below, you can see Jay say: It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain and simple...I think [announcing support of gay marriage is] the right thing to do, so whether it costs [Obama] votes or not — again, it's not about votes. It's about people. It's the right thing to do as a human being. Here's a real evolution. As opposed to Obama's years of public tiptoeing around the idea that gay people are deserving of marriage equality, Jigga comes fr

May 14, 2012 By Jonathan Hailey, Assistant Editor  After taking Hollywood by storm, Jaden Smith is moving in on his sister’s territory. The Karate Kid released a video for his song “Give It To ‘Em.”  Jaden Smith’s song is about the perils of living a life under the scrutinizing eye of the public. He spits bars like, “All these people are crazy/This room is getting so crowded/it’s just because we are famous and you don’t know nothin’ about it.” There’s no word saying Jaden is making an album, but he did perform with Justin Bieber at last year’s Grammys. With this video coming out, we’re certain a music career isn’t too far in the future. First, Jaden must promote his film starring him and his father Will Smith called After Earth . After Earth is a science fiction thrill ride directed by M. Night Shyamalan . Do you think Jaden Smith has a career in music? Would you pick up his a
