Teyana Taylor speaks with MTV on signing with G.O.O.D. music. 

“I had been actually working with the whole G.O.O.D. Music family for quite a while. Around the time we did the ‘Dark Fantasy’ song, I was still in my contract with Star Trak/Interscope Records, and I asked for release because I wanted to find myself as an artist."

Donna Summer, the "Disco Queen", known for hits such as:  "She Works Hard for the Money," "Love to Love You Baby," "Bad Girls," "Last Dance," and "Hot Stuff" died Thursday morning after a battle with lung cancer. 
 TMZ reports that the singer was in Florida at the time of her death. 

A family member stated:

"Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith. While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time." 

She is survived by her husband, Bruce Sudano; and 3 daughters, Brooklyn and Amanda; and Summer’s daughter, Mimi, from a previous marriage. She was just 63. 

Nicki Minaj's video for "Right By My Side" (directed by Benny Boom) is finally out. Nas, who plays Nicki's boyfriend, seals a kiss. While her & Chris share a cute playful relationship.

Willow confesses:
"If I had to change one thing about my life, it would probably be, I wouldn’t be famous….Because when you’re famous it’s so hard."

Saturday night, Usher performed his hits "Climax" and "Scream" on SNL.
