Originally slated to premiere on Vevo.com on Friday, May 13th, Beyoncé finally premieres the video for her new single, “Run the World (Girls)” on American Idol and later on her official website, BeyonceOnline.com. The track is lifted from her hotly anticipated fourth studio album, titled IV.
The video, directed by Francis Lawrence, was shot over a four day span in the Mojave Desert and Inglewood, California. Knowles worked with eight different choreographers, including Frank Gatson and Sheryl Murakami. She also hired the Mozambican kwaito dance group, Tofo Tofo, who also appears in the video.
Concrete Loop was invited to an exclusive listen session for the new album, IV, which is slated to hit stores and online some time this summer, with a release date of June 28th announced just this evening.
Let the drama & cat fights begin! On May 30th, the ladies of VH1′s hit television series Basketball Wives are returning for their third round of drama and weave snatchin’! In the sneak peek video below, Evelyn shares with the ladies her latest business venture: selling t-shirts with her infamous quote, “You are a non-f***in factor, b**ch.” Of course, Tami wasn’t havin’ it so she decides to take lawful action against Ms. Lozada. As far as Evelyn and booskie Ochocinco, they want to have twins and consider having an in vetro fertilization. Jennifer is going through the final stages of her divorce. Royce is her usual self and gets a little physical with Evelyn later on in the season. Oh and there’s a new addition to the crew. Her name is Meeka Claxton (wife of former NBA player Speedy Claxton) and everyone in the group sees her as a trouble maker. Looks like this season is ’bout to be flamin’ mess! Lowkey, I’d probably get one of Evelyn’s quoted tees…Sike! Lol
Basketball Wives premieres Monday, May 30th at 8PM ET/PT.
2011 GraduateYazid Britt and his son Isiah Britt pose for a photo shortly after Yazid graduated from Hampton University. The 24 year-old received his BS in Business Management and even wrote us a short paragraph about being a role model for his son:
Many said I would not finish because of having a child in college. I beat the odds and am doing well for myself. I love my family and I am a complete role model for my son. This is a picture that he’ll be able to reflect on when he gets older. I am wearing my Fraternity colors over my cap and gown. I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Thanks to CL for acknowledging graduates as a whole, it’s great to see organizations recognizing higher education. – Yazid
