I like it. I love that Janet's influence knows no bounds.

Djokovic is not making this easy.

Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler's reactions.

Damn. Murray is running down every single ball.

Big M was on a fucking MISSION. This warrior bitch was not playing around.

Oh dear. Someone's not handling the pressure well.

Serena was not having it.

So... This tournament is another glimpse of how little I will care about tennis when Serena retires. I haven't watched a single match since she got the boot. It's not that I don't appreciate the sport in general, but there's just no one else I'm that invested in.

I take over da party That's right game over Like Toni Braxton felt when Tamar took over her party! :lmao:

Khia Remixes Miley Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop': Listen As Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" continues to provoke the entire nation -- nay, the entire world -- to twerk, Khia, the rapper best known for her filthy 2002 single "My Neck My Back," independently jumped on the track just in time for Independence Day, in a remix released on Thursday (July 4). For her part, Cyrus approves of Khia's verse being added to the track: "HELL YESSS," the singer posted on Twitter on Thursday, linking to a Soundcloud version of the remix. Since its release, Khia has hinted at shooting a music video for the "We Can't Stop" remix on Twitter. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1569238/khia-remixes-miley-cyrus-we-cant-stop-listen

Was that Gaga being dragged?

So while Miss Nielsen won't allow it to "sell" 1 million the first week, Miss RIAA will give it a platinum certification...

Counting Digital Singles and Digital Albums for G&P: A Common Sense Update By now, many of us in the music business, as well as Jay-Z fans, know that Samsung has purchased one million “Magna Carta Holy Grail” digital albums to be given away to the phone maker’s customers. It is a novel and creative marketing move and it has rightly stimulated a healthy conversation about the sale’s meaning and implications for the modern music business. For us, the move prompted a re-examination of our historic Gold & Platinum (G&P) Program award rules. As we dug through the records of audits, re-reviewed rules and consulted with our auditing firm of more than thirty years, Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, we discovered one rule disparity that no longer makes sense. One of our program’s requirements is that an album can become eligible for certification 30 days after release date. (There are other rules, of course – such as requiring that the price of the album meet certain requirements.) The 30-day rule exists to take into account potential returns of physical product – CDs, cassettes, vinyl, etc. that could be shipped to brick and mortar retailers and returned, in which case our auditors do not count the sales. When we first created the Digital Single Award in 2004, we elected not to impose any 30-day rule because there are very few digital returns. According to our auditing firm, digital returns on average account for less than two percent of sales included in reports provided by the labels for certification – most digital retailer Terms of Use/Service allow users to return products only under limited circumstances. Also at the time in 2004, sales of digital albums were virtually non-existent and accounted for a small fraction of overall digital sales. Fast forward a decade and that’s obviously no longer the case. We think it’s time for the RIAA – and Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman – to align our digital song and album certification requirements. That’s why today we are officially updating this rule in our G&P Program requirements. Going forward, sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date. Not only do we believe it’s sensible and logical to align digital album rules with those we have maintained for digital singles since the program’s inception, we also consider today’s move in line with our larger efforts to modernize the G&P Program to reflect the new music marketplace. In May we announced the integration of on-demand streams to the program to more broadly recognize online demand for songs. The reality is that how fans consume music is changing, the music business is changing as labels and artists partner with a breathtaking array of new technology services, and the industry’s premier award recognizing artists’ commercial achievement should similarly keep pace. In short, we’re continuing to move the 55-year-old program forward and it’s a good day when music sales diversification and innovative strategies meet the RIAA’s time-tested, gold standard requisites for certification.

PLATINUM BY PHONE: The RIAA has altered its rules and will be counting the 1 million copies of Jay-Z’s forthcoming album purchased by Samsung toward platinum certification. “Going forward,” the org has declared on its site, “sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date.” The RIAA has reportedly told some in the biz that only U.S. customers (including those living abroad) will have access to the album through the Magna Carta Holy Grail app, yet according to the online terms, the giveaway is available in "Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, France, South Africa, Austria, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom" as well as the U.S. How many of those who download the album will be outside the U.S.?

That was a mess. She looked like a feature chick. It came off like a Pitbull feat. Xtina performance.

Same. I'm kinda glad I missed that match. It would've been way too much for my heart to handle.

Since no one bothered to provide a decent lank: http://www.bet.com/v...oung-jeezy.html
