Amber Rose Exposed In More Nude Pics

Amber Rose has found herself in the center of another nude pic controversy. More explicit photos of the voluptuous vixen have surfaced online--coming just months after graphic images of Rose appeared on several blogs. She decried the previous controversy, claiming that the photos were stolen off of her computer and published without her consent. She hasn't issued any statement regarding the newest images.

In the photos, Rose is completely nude and posing on a bed.

The seemingly-endless stream of naked Amber Rose images is causing much speculation amongst media and fans as to who exactly keeps leaking these pics. Many believe that Rose herself may be releasing the photos onto the Internet to generate publicity. The sexy socialite is currently dating rapper Wiz Khalifa and has been a fixture on hip hop and gossip sites for the better part of three years--ever since she rose to fame as the longtime girlfriend of Kanye West.

Eminem Show Canceled After Accident

Eminem was scheduled to headline the Pukkelpop Festival in Pastels, Belgium but the show had to be suspended after a stage collapsed and killed three people. A storm hit the area just as the band Smith Westerns was set to perform. The stage collapse immediately, killing three and injuring more than 40. According to reports, high winds caused large screens and other stage materials to collapse into the audience.

Artists like The Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Wiz Khalifa, D-12, Tinie Tempah and numerous others were also slated to perform.

All performances for tonight have been suspended as organizers were debating whether or not to discontinue with the entire festival after the deaths. But it was subsequently announced that the Eminem show would take place tomorrow.

"We will clean up the grounds tonight and ensure that everything is safe again so that we can start tomorrow at 11 am with a new start for Pukkelpop 2011," organizers said.

Amber Rose Complains About Bloggers?

Amber Rose is sick of bloggers making up stuff about her. Not sure what they've been 'making up,' actually--but she claims the blogosphere conspires to embarrass her. The buxom beauty says that most write stories without ever caring how her life is affected.

"Worst thing I read about myself, are the countless rumors that are just made up off the top of someone's head," Rose says. "They don't care about my life or my livelihood. They were just like 'Oh there's nothing going on in the world, let's make up something about Amber, post it and everyone in the world believed it.'"

Rose says that, despite the casual nudity, and Public Displays of Affection with Wiz Khalifa--she's really an introvert.

"I do not like attention at all," claims Rose. "I don't like to be out there. It seems like that because the paparazzi follows me and I'll get photographed, but I'm always kind of like really low key and they just catch me. I always try to go another way so I'm not bothered or out there. I'm really shy."

50 Cent, Others Receive Madden Game

EA Sports will be releasing Madden NFL 12, the latest in their long-running popular football video game franchise, on August 30th. In celebration of the ending of the NFL lockout, the EA has created fifty Madden EA VIP kits for celebrities, athletes and a few fans. The VIP kits include a customized PS3 with the tagline "It's Time" engraved on its side, a pair of Monster headphones and a New Era snap back.

Rappers 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and the Game have been among the celebs to receive the VIP specialty kit.

Fans can win one of the kits by entering an EA contest on Facebook. NBA players like Amare Stoudmaire, Lamar Odom and John Wall; and NFL stars like Chad Ocho Cinco and Terrell Owens have also been gifted with one of the kits.

Amber Rose Hears Wedding Bells?

Amber Rose is in love with Wiz Khalifa. The voluptuous beauty won't stop talking about the rapper from Pittsburgh--and in a recent interview, she took things a step further.

According to Amber, she's looking to become "Mrs. Khalifa" in the near future.

"We're definitely going to get married and have babies," Rose says. "Not right now because we're still busy and we still want to enjoy each other first. We want to go on vacation, travel and just enjoy each other company, but he's definitely the one. We're definitely going to lay it down and get it done."

Game Says He Never Dissed Amber Rose

Rapper the Game says he doesn't understand why fans believe he dissed Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose on his "Uncle Otis" track. The Compton rapper says he only rapped about wanting to have relations with Rose--which he doesn't see as a diss.

"How'd I diss Wiz [Khalifa]? I dissed Wiz?," Game asked DJ Envy when asked about his "Uncle Otis" track. "I didn't diss her. I said, 'Put the p*ssy on my face and let me taste a little taste.' Now that's a diss? [Envy] said it's a diss. Which one is it? Am I dissing her or is [it disrespectful?] It's just 'Uncle Otis,' man. Blame Uncle Otis. Yeah, he's an old nasty n*gga. Uncle Otis is."

Introducing the King of Hip-Hop

Now more than three decades old as a recorded medium, hip-hop is deeply embedded in popular culture – to the point where its stars seem not only larger than life but also, as Rick Ross once put it, "deeper than rap." But even as they sell out arenas and top the pop charts, rappers still court the respect and esteem of their hip-hop peers. The title King of Hip-Hop still means something.

In that spirit, just as we did in June with the Queen of Pop, we've crunched a pile of data to try to determine who is the current King of Hip-Hop.

We're not looking for the all-time greatest, although many of our contenders would vie for that crown. Some of them have only been recording a couple of years; others have been in the game since the 1990s. But that's what makes hip-hop exciting – it's plausible for someone who was watching cartoons when Jay-Z dropped his debut album to emerge as a contender for the title.

As with our Queen of Pop tally, in naming the King of Hip-Hop we focused on the very recent past: from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. We ranked 20 solo rappers (no groups – sorry, Beasties) who have dropped an album during that time. We looked at album sales, rankings on the R&B/hip-hop and rap charts, YouTube views, social media, concert grosses, industry awards and critics' ratings. In alphabetical order, our contenders are: Big Boi, B.o.B, Diddy, Drake, Eminem, Fabolous, Lupe Fiasco, Gucci Mane, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.

All of our contenders are men except for Minaj, who reappears from our Queen of Pop survey. We like to think of "King" as a gender-neutral term, and the fact is that Minaj has earned the right to compete in this arena. It would feel strange to leave her out – as a rapper, she's had a world-beating couple of years, with a chart-topping album, block-rocking singles and a slew of killer guest appearances. Frankly, she deserves to be called a hip-hop king just for her giant-killing appearance on West's hit "Monster," in which she crushed West and fellow guests Rick Ross and Jay-Z with one blow.

Fans of the rappers, and the acts themselves, take these sorts of rankings pretty seriously. (We learned that firsthand in the comments section of Queens of Pop.) We stand by our data, but of course we know that no King of Hip-Hop index can capture swagger or flow – if it could, the all-time title might go to Q-Tip or Rakim. As you'll see, it turned out to be a fairly exciting contest. Our top overall contenders were pretty evenly matched, with five different rappers leading at least one tally each.

Let's start with the tally that comes with the biggest bragging rights: album sales.

Big Sean Headlining Tour

G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean has announced that he will be headlining his own tour later in the fall of 2011. Sean is currently on tour with Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa as the opening act.

“This fall, I’m doing my own tour,” Sean explained. “The tour’s definitely going to be some fun sh*t, and it’s going to be me headlining.”

Sean shared some of the details of his routine while on tour with Wiz.

“This tour [with Wiz Khalifa] is what’s really taking a lot of my time up," he noted. "This sh*t is so tiring, I can’t even believe it. It’s like, waking up early as f*ck, doing radio all day [with] meet-and-greets, then doing a show, then doing after parties, mixed with interviews, mixed with…writing raps. It’s tiring as hell, but…it’s all a process to me, so I’m excited and happy. Every time I’m about to complain, I’m like, ‘Sh*t, I’ve wanted this so bad.’ It’s better than being broke as f*ck and living with my mom.”

Wiz Khalifa On His Career:

Wiz Khalifa shared his perspective on his career up to this point and his approach going forward. The rapper says he's not content to remain locked in anyone's box. He's going to continue to push and diversify his sound.

“I just been working a lot. Just really finding myself and my own sound and you know putting my diversity out there and not letting anybody put me in a box or let people’s expectations guide what I do,” he said. “Really, just do what I feel and what makes me happy. Even the albums that I put out before, the ‘Say Yeah’s and stuff like that that I did, that was me letting people know that I’m more than just a rapper. I’m making music, I make songs, I’m down to make hits.”

“I mean, everything that I do, I try to do something different, try to make it different from the last," Wiz said. "Really, just the transition has been learning the game, learning how to make other people happy as well as fulfilling all my needs, too. It’s everywhere. Just life, in general. Living, interacting with different people, hearing different people’s points of views. You gotta be sensitive to everything around you and just always be inspired. You just gotta be open.”

50 Cent's Twitter Hacked

Rapper 50 Cent's Twitter account was apparently hacked and the imposter began spewing mean-spirited and insulting tweets at rapper Shawty Lo. Lo is the latest signee to 50's G-Unit Records. They also took a shot at Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa.

"@thatsshawtylo face looks like a pizza if, and only if, the toppings were herpes, cold sores and teh AIDS. Yeah I said it @50cent #d-swagger," a posted tweet. ""G-Unit AIDS Awareness... @thatsshawtylo Results comin in 15 Mins #datninja yeah i said it @50cent."

"AMBER ROSE NUDES ON DECK, SORRY WIZ I GOTTA MAKE IT DO WHAT IT DO," the tweets continued.

50 Cent On Amber Rose Pics

50 Cent has added his two cents to the Amber Rose naked picture controversy. Despite Rose claiming that the pictures were stolen and leaked without her knowledge, 50 questions whether or not she had no idea that they would one day surface. He points to the fact that, unlike most 'leaked' nude photos--these pics weren't spontaneous or taken with a camera phone.

"At least it didn't look bad," said 50 Cent to DJ Whoo Kid. "It looked good. Let me tell you something. Things like that don't hurt, that's promotion. That's publicity. You got to look at who a person was. [If it was] someone who came in that was completely, let's say, conservative, that would be a damaging blow..."

That was a camera that took those photos, that ain't no camera phone. You gotta know, you gotta have intention to have a picture taken with your fingers in your p***y. That may be interesting for you because you've been watching her -- because you saw her with Kanye [West]. [The other celebrity leaks,] those are telephone pictures. Look, if you have your picture taken of you when you're not aware of it, that's one thing. If you're taking a picture randomly, it's spontaneous, [it's] a camera picture. Her shoes change in the picture. It's different shoes. That means you're conscious, got up, changed the shoes and did it with a camera. You thought about it. So maybe she's taking the pictures for her significant other, maybe it's Wiz Khalifa's joint."

Wiz Khalifa Supports Amber Rose

Wiz Khalifa is standing by his lady. The day after his girl, Amber Rose, gave her 'official' statement regarding nude pictures of her that have appeared online in recent days; Wiz voiced his support for Rose and her predicament.

Amber Rose Addresses Nude Pics

Amber Rose has broken her silence about the pictures of her nether regions that have leaked (no pun intended) all over the Internet. The beautiful model has had nude photos pop up online before, but never any as graphic as the ones that surfaced earlier this week. Rose says the images were--of course--stolen from her laptop and that the pics have hurt her career.

While she denied rumors earlier that she intentionally sent the pics to Nicki Minaj's boyfriend, here's Rose's 'official' statement:
"I was gonna wait until my radio show to address this but I want to say this now. I trusted someone that worked 4 me & allowed them to use my laptop a million times, I caught this person sending my pics to themselves and I fired this person immediately Wiz [Khalifa] & I & both of our families have known about this for 2 months now. We tried to prepare ourselves for this day. Those pictures r 2 1/2 years old just sitting in my computer. I'm really hurt & embarrassed because I have so many young girls that look up to me. I would never put those pics out of myself."

"The company that I was working with no longer wants to work with me because of these pics and that prevents me from getting money to take care of my family. Its a messed up situation when someone so evil comes into ur life and tries to destroy it. I know I'm not the only girl in the world that has taken pics like that but they were very private. I'm sorry for letting my young Rosebuds down. Pls understand this was a result of trusting a person that didn't deserve my trust. I have cried for the past 2 days but I know this to shall pass. Thank u for all of ur support."

Fabolous Denies Dating Amber Rose

Fabolous and Amber Rose were rumored to be hot-and-heavy last year, following Rose's breakup with superstar Kanye West and prior to her current relationship with Wiz Khalifa. At one point the rumor mill even alleged that Amber was carrying a Baby Fab. But appearing on Tim Westwood's show, Fab quickly dismissed any notion that the two were anything more than friends.

"Did I ever smush," Fab said, repeating Tim Westwood's question. "Smush? What kind of word is that? Is that like a UK word for [sex]? Uh, OK. No. She's just a friend. [Kanye West to me to Wiz Khalifa?] Nah. I was out of that stepping stone. I got moved out of that equation. I guess it just went from Kanye to Wiz."

Amber Rose Is NOT Pregnant

Does anyone really wanna see these two procreate? No shade or anything...

Amber Rose Vs. VIBE

Amber Rose blasted VIBE magazine on her Twitter account this weekend for publishing what she considered a 'negative' story about her. The model is this month's cover story, but she claims that the magazine falsified half of what she said.

"Just read "my" interview in @VibeMagazine half of the story was untrue & ridiculous!," she wrote. "F**K that Cover F**K @VibeMagazine yall wrote a bunch of negative bullsh*t that I never said or did."

"Yall don't give a f**k that I have a Mom & Family thats gonna read that fake ass sh*t I gave yall a truthful interview & Yall f**ked me," she continued. "I'm so sick of keeping my mouth shut. I didn't ask for this life it was handed to me. I was nothing but nice to everyone I spoke to @ Vibe."

Maybe we're crazy...but it didn't seem all that negative, sweetie...["Amber Rose Still Has Love For Kanye"] You just spoke a little bit about your ex, whats-his-face...

Rick Ross Motivated By Wiz Khalifa

Rick Ross revealed in a recent interview that an early rejection has motivated his Maybach Music imprint's latest successes. The label put in a bid for Wiz Khalifa, and the upstart Pittsburgh emcee declined. Wiz's decision convinced Ross to step his game up on the business end.

"I put the proposition out there. But at the time, Maybach Music wasn't really where we were supposed to be, which was a lot of motivation," Ross explained. "The homey made a great decision, going to Atlantic Records. He's released a classic album, and I wish him much success. But it also inspired me and it also reassured me that I had a certain eye. I remember when I put Wiz on the 'Super High' remix, a lot of people was like, 'Why would you put a rookie on your record?'"
