Those who are unable to watch any of Jay-Z's eight concerts at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn need no worry. They will be able to catch his performance at the brand-new multi-million-dollar complex in high quality via a live streaming on YouTube this weekend at 9:30 P.M. ET. The Hov officially announces that his sold-out gig on Saturday, October 6 will be broadcast online via his Life + Times channel. In addition to celebrating the launch of the new YouTube channel, the live streaming will mark the end of his eight-day concert to christen the new sport center. The new YouTube channel itself will be like a television network that provides original video materials and monetizes through ads. It will be a place for the rap mogul "to showcase the breadth of his interests, from fashion, architecture, music, style, food, consumables, electronics, and so forth." "His philosophy has always been to do things out of the box, do them first, do them in a surprising way," says his collaborator, IconicTV co-founder and chief creative officer Michael Hirschorn. "I think that's one of the main reasons he has kept his brand as fresh and robust as he has because he's constantly surprising the public with what he's doing." "We're approaching this channel and programming it, not at the level of an MTV or a BET - at least, not yet - but really programming it as a real channel that will have regular content, some featuring him, some under his creative direction, but that when he wants to reach his audience, he's no longer going to have to go through an intermediary to get to that audience."

Lady GaGa explains why she's not featured in Kendrick Lamar's new album despite her initial announcement that she would make contribution. She apologizes for the absence, saying it happens due to creative differences and promising to release it "at a different time, for a different project." She says in an open letter posted on her social networking site, "I apologize to the fans that this situation with 'Partynausous' is confusing. To it clear it up I must explain this. When I collaborate with an artist i work solely with them, not with their camps or management. Its purely organic and creative. I love Kendrick dearly as a friend, but I was not willing to compromise musically to the changes his team was making to my music." The Mother Monster continues, "This is why I am not his record. I have a very specific vision as a producer and songwriter, and I always have. That song will be released at a different time, for a different project. I love you, and think you should check out his stuff because he is truly great. He's a good kid, its just sometimes a mad city." Lamar is going to release his album "good kid, m.A.A.d city" in the United States on October 22. It boasts collaborations with Drake, Dr. Dre, Jay Rock, Anna Wise and MC Eiht. GaGa was supposed to team up with Lamar in a song about Jakarta. She once said, "[It's about] my relationship with that country (sic). Wishing I could 'get high with the enemy' and make peace."

Nicole Scherzinger opens up about her struggle with body-image issue. In an interview on VH1's "Behind the Music", the former lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls reveals that she's been fighting anorexia and self-harm issue while in the all-girl group. "I just hated myself," the 34-year-old singer says as quoted by EW, revisiting the days when she's full of self-loathing. "I hated myself. I really was so disgusted with myself and so embarrassed. I felt so alone. I was in a group, and I never felt so alone in my life." "I'm nervous about it," she says about addressing the issues for the first time. "It's embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart, you know." "I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction. It's like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction." Talking about her habit to injure herself, Nicole opens up, "I did it everyday for, like, years. Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I'd try to hide those. I think the girls could tell."

"The Real Chris Brown" from David Alan on Vimeo.

And the saga continues. It was only yesterday that Chris Brown released and unusually candid statement about the break up of his relationship with long term girlfriend Karrueche Tran, citing his friendship with Rihanna as a cause. Now he has posted a strange and unexplained video online named “The Real Chris Brown,” apparently giving us an insight to the real him. The 90 second clip looks to be a bit premeditated as it’s professionally edited, compiling footage of him with Karrueche along with him with Rihanna, with him talking to camera describing his own feelings on the situation. “I’m stressed out…” he admits. “When you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it’s kinda difficult… Is there such thing as loving two people? I don’t know if that’s possible, but for me, I feel like that.” He goes on to say, “I don’t want to hurt either or. I’m just me. I’m not trying to be a player, I’m not trying to be a dawg. My mama raised me differently. I just care too much sometimes. A n—a be stressing. That’s what n—as do. Life of Chris Brown.” This comes in the light of him being spotted out with Rihanna three nights in a row this week – at a club, a Jay Z gig and her hotel – which had obviously some tension with Karrueche. However, I’m not sure this video will be doing anything to help his situation as he draws more attention to it. His recent ex has since tweeted about the situation showing that she isn’t too happy with him putting their personal and private business out for the world to know about. “Wtf is going on?” she wrote. “All I’m saying is.. You don’t mess with people’s genuine feelings. You just don’t!” “Life moves on.. So let’s all.”
