Singer Lady Gaga cancelled an Indiana concert appearance last night (Jan. 14) after collapsing backstage due to exhaustion and dehydration. "An hour before the show I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing," she posted on Twitter. Paramedics diagnosed her with a regular heartbeat, she said. The performance, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., has been rescheduled for Jan. 26.
Lady Gaga is in the midst of her national "Monster Ball" tour which began Nov. 27 in Montreal. The next scheduled date is tomorrow (Jan. 16) in Atlantic City, then two dates in Connecticut and four shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall next week are all the remains of the North American leg of the tour. A three month run of European dates begins Feb. 18 in the U.K.
"I am so devastated," she later posted on Twitter"I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort.
"I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me."
Skepta who is kick starting his February tour is back with "Bad Boys". I like this track, so remember 1st March 2010 you can download the track, don't do it before the date.
“Down Like Your Internet Connection” is a song inspired from arguing with Verizon tech support to get her cable Internet and wireless up and running.
M.I.A. was trying to get her broadband working when she decided mid-crisis that she should ask the support people to help her out with her music. “Ten phone calls later, I have Internet that sticks and a song,” she said.
Rolling Stone reports that the song actually features Filipino Verizon tech support workers singing the hook.
The album — which was made in collaboration with producer Blaqstarr — will be released this summer. If “Down Like Your Internet Connection” is the first single, it will probably hit several weeks earlier. “I Fight the Ones That Fight Me” is another revealed song, but the album itself still doesn’t have a name.
This weekend, Avatar once again shattered the previous record for the best 4th weekend at the box office, earning 48,500,000 dollars. On its fourth weekend in cinemas, Titanic made 20 million dollars less. If the trend continues, Avatar will not only surpass Titanic; it will set new records far above the popular historic love story.

I'm a secret You Tube follower of Black The Ripper and I came across these two videos and fell in love with his style and lyrics. "The Edmonton Dream" is the latest album release from North London MC Black The Ripper and by looking at the track listing, the album is not going to be disappointing.
