LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans! 53-Year-Old ‘Girl Gone Wild’: Just a few months ago Madonna told reporters at a Super Bowl press conference, “You don’t have to show your nipples to be interesting, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cutting-edge if you do.” But when it came to performing at her recent concert in Istanbul, Turkey, Madonna just couldn’t help herself from contradicting her earlier words. While performing “Human Nature,” Madge exposed herself after taking off her shirt and showing off her bra. After giving the screaming fans a glimpse (of something most Madonna fans have seen countless times from her over the years), she shot the crowd an “Oops” look and then turned her back on the audience, revealing a massive, temporary “No Fear” tattoo across her back. Just another day in the life of Madge! Whoa! Alert: In other exposed news, Joey Lawrence also showed off his chest over the weekend while performing with t

Jun 11, 2012 By Alea Jo NecoleBitchie: Lauryn Hill has a really long message for you. Especially, if you are considering entering the music game. You might not be about that life. It’s a very cruel world. Back in 1999, Lauryn Hill was on her way to being the next big thing. She was winning every award imaginable (including 5 Grammys –and the first Hip Hop record to be named ‘Album Of The Year’), was on magazine covers and was hounded with movie offers after her successful performance in ‘Sister Act 2′. But shortly afterward, she disappeared from the scene and left her fans wondering if they would ever get a follow up to her classic, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’. In the past few years, Lauryn has returned to the stage in an effort to continue to support her family while reconnecting with her fans, however earlier this week, she found herself in a little jam when it was reported that she could be facing jail time for not paying taxes in 2005

Dave Kotinsky, Getty Images Britney Spears and fellow ‘ X Factor ‘ judge Simon Cowell are snapping back at persistent rumors of the drama surrounding the show. Following the second day of auditions (in which the panel donned the same outfits since the producers didn’t get all the necessary shots on day one), the judges took to their “Official ‘X Factor’ Cam” to shoot down stories of behind-the-scenes drama. In a TMZ video, the cantankerous Cowell and sweetheart Spears addressed the gossip, which began when Spears allegedly walked off the set during the Austin, Texas auditions. The unexpected break led to tales of “ unheard of terms ” within Spears’ contract, giving the pop princess the right to come and go as she pleases. “There have been no walk offs on the show,” Cowell said, chuckling as Demi Lovato passed by on camera. How adorbs is she?! “Although I would like somebody to walk off,” he laughed, motioning to Lovato, who passed by again, “but she won’t.”

Jason Merritt, Getty Images ‘ X Factor ‘ is shaping up to be intense and a lot of fun this season. The addition of Britney Spears has already had its share of drama, from rumors to her having special privileges to whispers on on-set meltdowns . While those have been hotly contested by both Spears herself and her fellow panel, BritBrit is bringing the drama where it belongs: On the stage. New audio clips of ‘X Factor’ auditions show Spears as both a sweetheart and a sass queen depending on who she’s dealing with and how they’re behaving. In one clip, Spears has a “that’s what she said” moment and gets audibly flustered. It’s not her fault she’s surrounded by pervs! She told a duo, “I feel like your songs are really great and your voices are magical. When you sing, you have a really nice, soothing sound and I wish you could wake me up in the morning.” As soon as she said that, there were “oohs” and insinuations, so she pr

The newest rumor about our Queen B is that she’s suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (something she was supposedly diagnosed with since she was a teen), and that’s the reason why she’s constantly walking off the set of  the ‘ X Factor .’ “The medication helped her deal with it, however, she can’t take it now because it interferes with the other medications she takes for her mental health issues,” says a source to RadarOnline. “Britney’s current team of doctors strictly prohibit her from taking Adderall or Ritalin, which are commonly given to people with ADHD.” Simon Cowell is said to be aware of Britney’s supposed ADHD (she apparently has the attention span of a 10-year-old) and understands that she needs a break from time to time

The reclusive R&B singer made his first live U.S. appearance in 12 years at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival early Sunday morning, surprising a few thousand fans during Ahmir " Questlove " Thompson's Superjam session.

Vittorio Zunino Celotto, Getty Images OMG Beliebers! We have the best news in, like, ever for you. Snippets of the songs on Justin Bieber ‘s ‘Believe,’ which drops on June 19, have been posted online. You get to hear about 30 seconds of each song — there are 13 in all — and it’ll get your blood pumping for the full swaggy album to finally drop. We’ve listened to each track and offer a short commentary on what we heard. The album sounds like it’ll be very Michael Jackson -like, comprised of synthy pop jams, lots of falsetto, acoustic ballads and the requisite swag, swag, swag. Our commentary is below. ‘As Long As You Love Me’: Mid-tempo, featuring the lyric, “As long as you love me / I’ll be your platinum, silver, gold,” with some falsetto. ‘Catching Feelings’: Very Usher -like
. ‘Take You’: Slow and low, R&B jam, with lots of auto-tuning and accelerating pace. ‘Right Here’ (feat. Drake ): That’s what we call a hot harmony. Biebs gets rhythmic

YouTube Katy Perry told British talk show host Graham Norton she got through her separation from ex-husband Russell Brand by focusing on her music and live performances for her fans. As reported by The Huffington Post , Perry said, “I love being on stage and even though I went through some pretty tough times last year, I had to separate that because I know my problems are my problems and they are not the audience’s problems. They are here to see a show and to be entertained, so I got on that lift, put a smile on my face and went up (on stage) with my t–s spinning!” Perry’s marriage to Brand lasted less than two years, and her performance of ‘Part Of Me’ at the Grammys seemed to be directed at him, even though she says the song was written well before the couple split. Video clip of Perry chatting about Brand on the show hasn’t surfaced online yet, but one clip has been released showing Perry and Cheryl Cole discussing singing competition shows and Simon Cow

B-13 Peer Review presents an AllHipHop.com exclusive; Juvenile’s latest video “Sleeping On Me” off his upcoming album “REJUVENATION” which will be out June 19th 2012.

Remember that naked video that Badu supposedly released over the last weekend, by way of the Flaming Lips? Well, we thought she co-signed it, but anything could farther from the facts. She dissed them for a display of tastelessness that confused everybody. We can’t play this video on AHH, but is is definitely mad lewd content, nudity, blood and seemingly even semen. YUCK. Her sister appears completely nude in the whole video. “You showed me a concept of beautiful tasteful imagery (by way of vid text messages). I trusted that. I was mistaken,” she wrote. “Then u release an unedited, unapproved version within the next few days. That all spells 1 thing, Self Serving. When asked what the concept meant after u explained it, u replied, ‘It doesn’t mean anything, I just want to make a great video that everyone is going to watch.’ I understood, because as an artist we all desire that. But we don’t all do it at an

(AllHipHop News) Def Jam recording artist and Odd Future member Frank Ocean has officially revealed a title and date for what many believe to be the singer’s Def Jam debut album,  Channel Orange . The singer released a video teaser on his Tumblr last night (June 7) that features what many believe to be a new song from  Channel Orange and concludes with a date of July 17th. If Channel Orange  does turn out to be Ocean’s Def Jam debut, it will drop in what is becoming a crowded, but anticipated month for the label, who will also be releasing Nas’ tenth studio album  Life Is Good on the same date.

  Don Emmert, AFP, Getty Images As The BoomBox previously reported, T-Boz hasn't had much luck with her creditors lately. After neglecting to file all the necessary paperwork to declare bankruptcy, the TLC singer was denied federal protection. Honda is now entering the mix. According to TMZ, the car company has filed a lawsuit in Georgia requesting to repossess Tionne Watkins' 2005 Honda Civic . She has reportedly not been making timely payments on the vehicle. T-Boz is currently over $700,000 in debt. Since her failed attempt to declare bankruptcy back in February, the singer has been at the mercy of her creditors. She can re-file after 180 days, but until July, companies she owes are free to pursue T-Boz's assets. Hopefully Tionne can get it together this time. Perhaps that " reunion tour " with a resurrected Left Eye will squelch her financial woes? Watch "TLC to Tour With 'Resurrected' Left Eye"
