Singer Beyonce Knowles is expected to perform in a tribute performance to "Selma" at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, according to Ace Showbiz.
Sources say Beyonce will join R&B artists Common and John Legend onstage during the awards show. The trio is set to perform "Glory", a track from the Oscar-nominated film's soundtrack, Billboard reported. Common and Legend were involved in the making of the song.
Both Common and Legend have previously been announced to be performers at the awards show. Representatives for both the Recording Academy and Beyonce have yet to release official word on whether she will be joining the tribute performance.
Whether or not Beyonce will perform at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, she is still expected to appear at the show. She is nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. In this category, the singer will be up against Sam Smith's "Lonely in the Hour," Pharrell's "GIRL," Beck's "Morning Phase" and Ed Sheeran's "X," according to the official Grammy website.
Beyonce is also nominated for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for "Drunk in Love." Her self-titled album is also up for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Surround Sound Album. The "Beyonce & Jay Z: On The Run Tour" is up for a Grammy in the Best Music Film category.
Other performers have already been booked for the awards show. The list of performers includes Adam Levine, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Miranda Lambert and Usher, according to Ace Showbiz.

What a colorful goddess!
Beyoncé did her thing performing at the MTV VMAs, and she did it in a gorg outfit.
Our Queen Bey chose to perform in honor of her Vanguard Award in a multicolored gem-covered leotard paired with yummy fishnet tights.
And it showed us those fabulous curves we've loved for so long!
While it may not have been her most revealing outfit ever, we did see plenty of booty in it. And you know we always like that!
Eminem's 'Marshall Mathers LP 2' Tracklist Includes Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Nate Ruess
3:00 AM | |
| Eminem on stae |
The rapper previously teamed up with Rihanna on "Love the Way You Lie," a hit penned by Gray for his 2010 album "Recovery." Rihanna also appeared on "Welcome To: Our House," the 2012 release from Eminem's supergroup Slaughterhouse. Now they'll join forces on "The Monster."
Kendrick Lamar has professed to being an Eminem fan in the past, and his controversial verse on Big Sean's "Control" found him paying respect to the veteran rapper: "I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time / 'Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas / Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all / New n---as just new n---as, don't get involved."
Beyond writing "Love the Way You Lie," Gray has proven a frequent Eminem collaborator. She teamed up with him and Dr. Dre for 2011's "I Need a Doctor" and also appeared on "Welcome To: Our House."
The more surprising appearance is Ruess, who hasn't dabbled much in hip-hop professionally. (He did, however, list A$AP Rocky's "F--kin' Problems" and Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz's "Mercy" among his favorite songs during a Rolling Stone interview earlier this year.)
Check out the full tracklist for the album, which serves as a sequel to 2000's acclaimed "The Marshall Mathers LP." It drops Nov. 5.
1. "Bad Guy"
2. "Parking Lot" (Skit)
3. "Rhyme or Reason"
4. "So Much Better"
5. "Survival"
6. "Legacy"
7. "Asshole" ft. Skylar Grey
8. "Berzerk"
9. "Rap God"
10. "Brainless"
11. "Stronger Than I Was"
12. "The Monster" Ft. Rihanna
13. "So Far ..."
14. "Love Game" ft. Kendrick Lamar
15. "Headlights" ft. Nate Ruess
16. "Evil Twin"

Eminem has always been proud of his daughter, Haillie Scott- he always mentions her name in his songs, and even back in 2002 included her voice on his track ‘My Dad’s Gone Crazy’.
Now the Detroit rap king whose eighth album, ‘The Marshal Mathers LP 2′, is due to drop on November 5, has one more reason to be a proud ‘daddy’; Haillie is now a Homecoming Queen.
Haillie Scott was crowned Homecoming Queen of Chippewa Valley High School in Clinton Township, Michigan, on Friday, October 4, after students and faculty voted for her.
Although Eminem was around to witness his daughter-whom members of the community described as a ‘smart, athletic, and caring’-crowned queen, he however declined to make a public appearance, opting to watch the entire episode from inside the school, as ‘he wanted Hailie to have her own moment.’
Lil Wayne finally released Dedication 4 mixtape
5:39 PM |
After some delays, Lil Wayne finally released Dedication 4, the fourth mixtape in a series of albums on which the YMCMB boss raps over the hottest tracks.
"Usually, I kill all the hot songs that's out," Weezy told Mixtape Daily last month about Dedication 4, according to MTV News. "But I'm on all the hot songs that's out. So now I have nothing to kill." In 2007, Wayne released Da Drought 3 mixtape, which was acclaimed by critics and ranked No. 27 on Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2007" list.
"Dedication 4" is free for all Lil Wayne fans and features the likes of Nick Minaj, Birdman, J. Cole, Young Jeezy and Lil Mouse. The YMCMB rapper had been tweeting to fans about the album, calling it "stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid," but those who listened to Wayne's newest release are not fawning over Dedication 4 just yet.
Lil Wayne 'Dedication 4' Mixtape: 10 Most Laughable Lyrics
@RealRyanConrad
Ryan Conrad
I'd love to hear a Lil Wayne song without him using any metaphors.. He wouldn't even know what to say
Some particular songs on Dedication 4 have caused quite the melee.
Nicki Minaj's verse on "Mercy" about voting for President Romney in November had many thinking that the Harajuku Barbie had endorsed the Republican candidate. Minaj has neither confirmed nor denied the speculation.
Another point of contention with Wayne's album is his featuring Lil Mouse on the remix of "Get Smoked." The 13-year-old rapper's raunchy lyrics have raised eyebrows. The teen, from Chicago's South Side, raps about sex, violence and drug selling, amongst other non-age-appropriate subjects. Lil Wayne is already being criticized for teaming up with Lil Mouse, according to MissInfo.tv.
Here are some of the most laughable lyrics from Lil Wayne's Dedication 4.
10. She’s so sophisticated / She'll catch a n---a nut and then refrigerate it
9. And ya’ll borin’, I don’t play n---a, I’m Mark Madsen / Thats why my knots thick like a f---ing Kardashian
8. Heavy load, throwing hella bands, in the club doing the money dance (Lil Mouse)
7. That's no lie, I'm so hot, you p---y ass n---as Massengill / I got them yellow Xanax, I slipped on a banana peel
6. Trukfit money Mountain Dew money, tell em / I get better like fine wine I'm fire like cayenne
5. Swish Michael, Phelps n---a in your ho / Coupe the color of YooHoo, rude boy free Buju
4. Pow, there go my hammer / Come around here stuntin', get jacked like O'Lantern
3. I beg your pardon, I egg your noggin, got nine up in my glove compartment
2. Hey baby let's make a porn! / Ba-bum! Devil horns
1. I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy bitches is f--king up the economy (Nicki Minaj)
Kanye West Struggling With The Word 'Bitch'
4:28 PM |
"I usually never tweet questions but I struggle with this so here goes... Is the word BITCH acceptable," he wrote earlier today before following up with another question.
"Is it acceptable for a man to call a woman a bitch even if it's endearing," Yeezy's train of thought began after someone questioned him about the use of the word bitch in his music. "Initially was offended by anyone questioning anything in my music," 'Ye admitted in his timeline.
The MC's 20-message dissertation pondered the use of the b-word as well as the taboo N-word in music and society as a whole. The VMA-winning rap artist didn't have many answers, but rather seemed to want to spark a discussion. Kanye even sent out a link to Lupe Fiasco's "Bitch Bad" video, which Lu premiered on the August 22 episode of MTV News' "RapFix Live" before hosting a roundtable discussion about the controversial clip and overall use of the word bitch.
"Is it ok to use bitch as long as we put BAD in front of it? Like you a BAD BITCH," Kanye wondered aloud before he revealed he at times edits his lyrics in an effort to be less offensive. "I will admit that I sometimes go back an omit cursing from my records. I like to use profanity as a tool and not a crutch."
It doesn't seem as if Kanye will shy away from the word bitch on his upcoming Cruel Summer, the G.O.O.D. Music LP. On a song titled "Perfect Bitch," Yeezy toasts to his main squeeze Kim Kardashian, who has said she is flattered by the track.
Near the close of his Twitter-spree, West hadn't come to a conclusion about whether or not people should use the word bitch. "I'm not tweeting to say what we need and what we don't...," he wrote. "I just wanted to think out loud with you guys today."
Do you think we should eliminate the word bitch from our collective vocabulary? Sound off in the comments.
Rihanna Reveals her feelings for Chris Brown to Oprah

| Rihanna and Oprah |
In an interview with Oprah on August 19th, the 24-year-old singer cried to Oprah and told her that she’s found it in herself to forgive Chris for physically abusing her in 2009.
“I have [forgiven him]. It’s taken a long time,” Rihanna told Oprah during their interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter. Rihanna went on to say she’s happier now that she’s forgiven him. “I was in a dark place and it was coming out in my music, in my clothes, in my attitude.
I didn’t like that feeling. It was heavy,” she said. However, it wasn’t until Rihanna forgave her own father for physically abusing her mother that she was able to forgive Chris. With that being said, RiRi has truly moved on from the hurt and anger she once harbored. “I mean I have to move on,” she told Oprah, crying. But that doesn’t mean she’s fallen out of love with Chris. Rihanna revealed in the interview that she’s still in love with him and that he was the love of her life.
“I think he was the love of my life. He was the first love and I see that he loved me the same way,” she told Oprah. We’re happy to hear that she’s forgiven him and in a happier place. Rihanna was so courageous to open up so honestly to Oprah!
I’m Happy As Long As Chris Brown Is At Peace
Rihanna revealed how deeply she still loves Chris Brown and how selfless she is about it in an interview with Oprah on August 19th! Read on for more details! Rihanna’s been through a lot with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but one thing’s for sure: she just wants him to be happy.
Even though he physically abused her in February 2009, the 24-year-old singer has forgiven him and only wants him to be “at peace.” Rihanna told Oprah that Chris was dealing with a lot of pain and hurt during the time he attacked her, and that now she just wants him to be happy.
“I truly love him. The main thing for me is that he’s at peace. I’m not at peace if he’s a little unhappy or still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds that peace,” Rihanna told Oprah during their interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter.
She also said that even though it’s taken a long time, she’s forgiven him for hurting her. “I have [forgiven him]. It’s taken a long time,” Rihanna said. But even though she still loves him, they aren’t back together. “We’ve built a trust again and that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will,” Rihanna said. Hmm! We were so happy to see Rihanna open up so honestly to Oprah.

Drake and Chris Brown exchange bottles
2:47 AM |POLICE don’t usually get their mitts on photos showing the crime scene seconds BEFORE the incident kicks off.
But any nightclub that has Chris Brown and Drake under the same roof is bound to have a few fans with camera phones at the ready.
These new snaps have surfaced of Rihanna’s two exes just before the bloody bar fight, which left Brown with a gashed chin.
They show love rivals Brown and Drake yards from each other in the packed VIP section at New York’s W.i.P club.
The pics may come in handy for police investigating the bust-up early on Thursday, as the club’s CCTV footage may be useless.
According to reports, the film is so poor that it’s almost impossible to make out any faces.

| Chris Brown before the Night Club Fight |
Last night there were conflicting reports about whether anyone would be arrested over the incident, in which other clubbers were hit by flying bottles.
The trouble is said to have started after Drake sent Brown a note saying, “I am f***ing the love of your life”.
But rapper Drake is insisting one of Brown’s entourage had been making offensive comments to his pals.
Brown’s lawyer claimed: “I have turned over evidence that it was Drake who instigated this. The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the victim.
“I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his thugs. Clearly, Drake was the instigator and there is evidence he threw glassware.”
It has also emerged that Eva Longoria’s basketball player ex Tony Parker was with Brown and also got injured.
Parker says he’s had to postpone training for the London Olympics, where he will captain the French team, after flying glass hit him in the eye, leaving him with a scratched retina.
He’s wearing special contact lens to help it heal.
He said: “I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches.
“I’ll be missing the start of the French team training because I can’t do anything for a week except keep the lens in and take drops. But I was lucky — the injury won’t prevent me from competing in the Olympics in any way.”

But when they met at WIP club last night, Chris is thought to have sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering.
Unconfirmed reports say the bottle was returned with a note referring to Rihanna which read: “I'm f****** the love of your life, deal with it."
Onlookers say Chris was then hit in the face with a bottle during a subsequent fracas.

Beyonce gives birth to baby girl - Ivy Blue Carter
4:17 AM | |
| Beyonce and Jay-Z are reported to have rented an entire hospital floor Picture |
Singer Beyonce Knowles has reportedly given birth to a baby girl at a hospital in New York City.
Mother and baby were both "doing fine," her hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, reported. The news was later confirmed by entertainment news website E! Online, which said the birth was by C-section.
The 30-year-old Destiny's Child and Single Ladies star is married to hip-hop icon Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
Jay-Z was telling friends he and Beyonce named their daughter Blue Ivy Carter, E! Online reported. Other media outlets named the baby as Ivy Blue Carter, but representatives for the couple have yet to officially confirm the news.
Pop star Rihanna and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons were among the couple's friends to tweet their congratulations.
Simmons tweeted: "Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."
"Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih," pop star Rihanna tweeted later.
The couple rented out the entire fourth floor of Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan for the birth - paying $1.3 million, the New York Daily News reported.
The medical centre prepared a luxurious suite for her and had just finished a major renovation of a dozen rooms and a nursing station for the couple's arrival, sources said.
The newspaper said a hospital staffer had revealed Beyonce had checked in Friday night under the name "Ingrid Jackson."
Hospital management reportedly put tape over security cameras and forced staff to hand in their cell phones in an effort to stop unauthorised photographs or footage of mother and baby being leaked.
Security guards were also reported to have been sighted outside the building.
Beyonce revealed her pregnancy at August's 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, arriving in a dress that showed off her baby bump.
Former bandmate Kelly Rowland appeared to let slip the baby's sex in a November interview, saying, "I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won't be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after."
Beyonce's representatives did not return requests for comments. A hospital spokeswoman also declined to comment.
Last month Twitter exploded with rumours Beyonce had given birth to a baby girl and had named her Tiana-May Carter.

| New Jersey Nets' minority owner Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles sit courtside |
The rapper's wife Beyonce Knowles is pregnant with the couple's first child and Jay-Z is so determined to keep the child safe, he has asked Tom Cruise for advice on the safest mode of transport for the family.
A source said: "Jay is looking at action-movie style vehicles like Tom's and wants to make sure they are bullet-proof and 100 per cent safe. He won't be taking any risks that's for sure."
In addition to the armoured car, Jay-Z, 41, is also planning to splash out on a new home for him and his family in Florida and has told Beyonce money is not an object.
The source added to Britain's OK! magazine: "They went house hunting together last week and he made it clear that she can pick whichever one she likes. All Jay will care about is that it's secluded and very well protected. Other than that so long as Bey loves it, he will too.
"He said to her that even if the house of her dreams costs him £12 million, he'll buy it. He sees it as a thank you for making his dream to be a father come true."
