Two highly-anticipated albums featuring popular rapper Eminen drop today (Tuesday, July 9). First, there's Slim Shady's protege Skylar Grey and her 2013 record "Don't Look Down." Then there's hip-hop DJ Tony Touch, who also released a fresh mixtape entitled "The Piece Maker 3: Return of the 50 MCs" (featuring Eminem's new song "Symphony in H"). Details surrounding Shady's OWN highly-anticipated upcoming album still remain a mystery... although rumors suggest that at this point, the release date isn't until LATE fall (maybe even winter). In the meantime, fans can enjoy this intimate behind-the-scenes clip posted by Tony Touch and entitled "Webisode 49." The video features footage from the making of "Get Back" as well as Shady's 2000 appearance on "SNL." Eminem, Proof, Bizarre, and several other of Touch's rap/hip-hop associates make an appearance in the mini-webisode. Check it out below. Read More »
Skylar Grey's highly-anticipated new album "Don't Look Down" drops TOMORROW (Tuesday, July 9).

The "C'mon Let Me Ride" songstress recently introduced her official tour band to fans on Twitter with an amusing Keek video. Wonder if Slim Shady will show-up for any surprise guest performances?

Eminem is just one influential Detroiter to be honored in the Detroit Historical Museum's 11-week exhibition featuring photos and transcripted interviews from the recently published book "Heart Soul Detroit: Conversations on the Motor City." What perfect timing - Slim Shady's set to release his highly-anticipated 2013 album sometime soon (most likely this fall).

Rumors suggest that Eminem's highly-anticipated 2013 album will hit stores sometime this fall... but who knows what to believe at this point (first the record was "scheduled" for a May 28 release date... and then July 2. Both of those obviously didn't happen). But guess who else is coming back to MTV after a five-year hiatus? Nick Cannon and his hit improv show "Wild N' Out." And the popular radio/television personality was't shy asking a slew of rap/hip-hop superstars to appear on the return of his MTV2 series... including the infamous Slim Shady. So will Eminem accept the invitation... and debut some new music in the process? Read on for more details! Read More »
July 2 has officially come and gone... and STILL there's no confirmed details surrounding Eminem's highly-anticipated 2013 album. At this point, fans can only hope for Shady's fresh beats to hit the airwaves sometime this fall. Meanwhile, everything else surrounding Em's eighth studio record continues to remain a mystery... no confirmed album name, tracklist, collaborations, NOTHING. Even so, Twitter fans remain hyped about Shady's new music (his first since 2010's "Recovery"). While fans continue to wait in avid anticipation, Mstars has some fun Eminem updates for you! Check out an awesome, "Without Me"-inspired Maid of Honor toast below, performed by the amusingly talented Jennifer Gabrielli. Perhaps she'll be Eminem's new protege (a la Skylar Grey)? Read More »
Janelle Monae has released another teaser for the "Dance Apocalyptic" music video. Like the first single "Q.U.E.E.N" the set will heavily feature black and white stripes (these ones are vertical). More importantly, it appears that Monae has gotten rid of her signature pompadour for the clip. Monae rocks long, crimped hair in the seemingly "Hey Ya"-inspired The Electric Lady video. Read More »

Sorry, Slim Shady fans, it doesn't look like Eminem's new 2013 album will drop on July 2 like initially suggested. Apparently, fresh beats from the "Without Me" rapper will hit airwaves sometime this upcoming fall (hopefully). But here's a fun-fact... "Hart of Dixie" beauty Rachel Bilson recently admitted in an interview with British Cosmopolitan magazine that she'd love to bust-out a duet with Eminem... the 31-year-old starlet always secretly wanted to pursue a career in rapping! Hmm... perhaps a surprise collaboration's already secretly in the works? Read More »
Initial rumors suggested that Eminem's highly-anticipated 2013 album would be released on July 2. It's already July 1 and still no word on new Slim Shady music... so it's highly unlikely Em's eighth studio record will hit stores anytime soon. Shady's hype man and former D12 bandmate Mr. Porter recently hinted on Twitter that fans can expect a fall 2013 release date instead. Meanwhile, Twitter fans continue to anxiously wait new details surrounding the upcoming record... official album name, tracklist, etc. A prank photo of "Eminem and Dr. Dre" chilling in the studio recently went viral on the popular social networking site... and it's totally drool-worthy!

That's another very important factor! Could English singer/songwriter Jessie J record new music for the kinky film? The 25-year-old "Domino" songstress admits she's hoping to achieve a "maturer" sound... and "Fifty Shades" might be her perfect opportunity! What do fans think? Read More »
