Jennifer Lopez has released the official music video for her latest song ‘I’m Into You’ and while Lil’ Wayne is featured on the song he is nowhere to be seen in the video.
I’m really liking this song and she looks hot in the video but seriously is the director living in a time warp or something because this video looks like it came straight from 2001 or 2002.
The 2011 Grammy Awards took place last year so to celebrate that Billboard have come up with a list of who they think had the top 10 performances of the last 10 years. Take a look and see if you agree with any of them.
10. Gorillaz, Madonna & De La Soul, 2006
The 48th Grammys started off as no other Grammys had before — with an opening band that wasn’t even three-dimensional. Animated act Gorillaz took to the stage to perform the Record of the Year-nominated “Feel Good Inc.,” joined briefly by the real De La Soul and a hologram of Madonna. But when the real Madge appeared onstage moments later to perform her 2005 hit “Hung Up,” with its sexy dancing and ABBA samples, the Grammy crowd truly let loose.
Radiohead may have shunned the music industry in 2007 when it delivered “In Rainbows” straight to fans using a pay-what-you-want online download, but the band proved it could still play to the Academy (literally) at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Joined by the USC Marching Band, Thom Yorke and co. performed a rendition of “15 Step” that was so rousing, even the frontman shared some of his twitchy dance moves. Eat your heart out, Fleetwood Mac.
8. Kanye West & Daft Punk, 2008
When Kanye West released “Stronger” as a single in 2007, it seemed written in the stars that the rapper and Daft Punk, who is sampled on the tune, would join forces and perform together. At 2008′s 50th Grammys, that’s exactly what happened. Note to the Black Eyed Peas: THIS is how you do a light show!
7. Lady Gaga & Elton John, 2010
Lady Gaga’s performance at the 52nd Grammy Awards was classic not only for its over-the-top theatrics, but for Elton John’s appearance on “Speechless” and the duo’s duet on Elton’s classic “Your Song.” The best part? The conjoined mega-piano Gaga and Elton played on, not to mention the pair’s matching rhinestone glasses.
For the 52nd Grammy Awards in 2010, P!nk took a few lessons from Spider-Man and gave a show-stopping performance of aerial, acrobatic brilliance. P!nk may not have walked away with any trophies that night, but thanks to her high-flying rendition of “Glitter in the Air,” she was the artist everyone was talking about come Monday morning.
5. Beyonce & Tina Turner, 2008
Beyonce and Tina Turner were “rolling, rolling, rolling” as they lit up the stage with their performance of Turner’s “Proud Mary” at the 50th annual Grammys. The show-stopping, glitz and glamour-filled duet proved that Tina still had it, and no one –not even B — was going to take it away from her.
4. T.I., Jay-Z, M.I.A., Lil Wayne & Kanye, 2009
It was as though a new rap supergroup (“the rap pack” seems fitting) formed at the 2009 Grammy Awards, when all facets of hip-hop joined forces for one killer performance of T.I. and Jay-Z’s “Swagga Like Us.” Lil Wayne and Kanye West held their own as usual, but it was a pregnant M.I.A. who stole the show in her sheer polka-dot dress. The fiesty diva didn’t just look like she was about to pop — she actually gave birth three days later.
3. Usher & James Brown, 2005
Between Usher’s Michael Jackson-esque moves during the performance of his 2004 single “Caught Up” and James Brown’s fancy footwork on “Sex Machine,” the two R&B titans’ duet at the 47th Grammys was one to remember. Check out the dance-off toward the end of the set — you can almost see the exact moment when the crown was passed.
2. Melissa Etheridge & Joss Stone, 2005
Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone may seem like an unlikely pairing, but when you throw Janis Joplin into the equation, it makes perfect sense. Both songstresses possess their own unpolished soulfulness and rock stylings, which proved to be a powerful match in a tribute to Joplin at the 2005 Grammys. Stone started off with “Cry Baby” before being joined by Etheridge, who triumphantly made a return to the stage after being diagnosed with breast cancer one year earlier.
1. Eminem & Elton John, 2001
Eminem infuriated the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation with the homophobia-tinged lyrics on his 2000 album “The Marshall Mathers LP,” and the organization protested the 2001 Grammys because of his involvement. But gay activist Elton John crossed the picket lines and joined Em’s performance of “Stan” at the ceremony in a move that was musically powerful, as well as political.
I agree with most of these but I would have added Christina Aguilera‘s performance of It’s A Man World to the list and maybe ranked Kanye West higher.
Lil Wayne is now a free man because he has been released from Rikers Island jail in New York City after he served 8 months of his 1 year sentence.
Weezy has to make a quick stop in Arizona to sign some paperwork involving a 2008 drug case and then he will begin a 36-month probation term.
After that it’s time for the rapper to get his party on because Mack Maine, the President of his record label, is throwing him a huge party on Sunday at a Miami strip club. A radio station in New York is even giving away free passes to the party as part of a competition.

What was your favorite quote this week? Mine was Tori Spelling’s son tweeting that she looks like Gaga. Ummm, NO, she doesn’t. She may be anorexic looking and blond, but that’s where the similarities stop. I just hate it when parents think their kids are so funny that they have to share every detail with the world.
Rap superstar and cough medicine guzzling freak of nature Lil Wayne will be heading to prison in February 2010 to begin his one year sentence on gun charges.
Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was arrested in 2007 for criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a loaded weapon in New York.
Lil Wayne’s new album, Rebirth, is slated to be released just one week before he begins his incarceration. He is also scheduled to appear in court in March ’10 on drug possession charges in Yuma, AZ.

In a new documentary, The Carter Documentary, Lil Wayne has said that he was raped when he was just 11-years-old. The rapper is drunk out of his head in a room of his entourage when he starts telling of the time when his “daddy” Baby took him into a room of a bunch of people and then told women to give him oral sex.
What’s even worse about this story is that when he is telling it and he is obviously upset, everyone in the room is just laughing at him. God what a depressing day for child molestation stories.
Lil’ Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, a move that will likely land the Grammy-winning star in jail for a year. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3½ years in prison. His trial had been due to start Jan. 20.
Police pulled over Wayne’s tour bus in Columbus Circle (near NYC’s Central Park) on July 22, 2007. They said they had seen and smelled marijuana smoke wafting out the door before the bus left a concert venue minutes earlier. Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper (real name Wayne Carter) tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun.
Prosecutors said trace amounts of DNA found on the loaded gun connected it to Wayne. His defense lawyer said the gun wasn’t his, and that there were flaws in the way the evidence was tested.
The defense also disputed the whole premise used by officers to search the bus (pot smoke).
According to the AP, Wayne acted politely in court when acknowledging that he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic gun on the bus.
Lil’ Wayne’s trouble with the law doesn’t end here, though. He is also scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case.
