Hear Aaliyah’s posthumous song featuring Drake, ‘Enough Said’

Eleven years after her tragic death, Aaliyah’s voice is still alive. A posthumous album featuring demo tracks that never made it on to the self-titled album she released just weeks before she died in an August 2001 plane crash at the age of 22 have been cobbled together and is expected to be released very soon. On Monday, the first single, “Enough Said,” which features Drake, was leaked online by its producer Noah “40” Shebib. The song, although somewhat catchy, is not the best example for the memory of the late singer — who had 13 Top 20 hits and sold 27 million albums — but fans will likely still be happy they’re getting some new Aaliyah music.

Still, not everyone has been pleased with how the project has been handled. For starters, it does not feature the two people who famously worked with Aaliyah on many of her biggest hits: Missy Elliott and Timbaland. After Drake, a mega Aaliyah fan who has a tattoo of her face on his back, revealed in March that he was working on her new music, Timbaland told Power 105.1, “If he do it, it should be with me and Missy. The proper way for him to do that would be for me, him, and Missy to be all on the record. But to put it on his record would just not be right.”

The record has also not been sanctioned by her family. Her brother, Rashad Haughton, whose voice is so similar to his late sister’s that he did her retakes for the 2002 film “Queen of the Damned” after her death, made that fact clear on Twitter: “No official album [is] being released and supported by the Haughton family.”

What do you think of the song? Does Timbaland have a point?

Woody Allen ripped by son Ronan Farrow on Father’s Day

 

Allen and Previn. (Steve Granitz/WireImage)It’s safe to assume Woody Allen didn’t get a Father’s Day card from his son Ronan Farrow. The 24-year-old took to Twitter on Sunday to rip his famous dad, whom he has been estranged from since 1992 when the “Midnight in Paris” director left his girlfriend of 10 years, Mia Farrow, for her own daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. “Happy father’s day — or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law’s day,” Ronan, a writer and human rights lawyer, tweeted to his 22,000 followers. And his jilted mother clearly agrees with that sentiment, because the “Rosemary’s Baby” actress re-tweeted the post with the added line, “Boom.” Around the same time, she posted a photo of her and her son, with whom she was spending the holiday.

Ronan, who was once known by his first name Satchel, severed contact with Allen, now 76, in the wake of his parents’ split — after Farrow discovered nude photos of Previn, then 21, taken inside Allen’s New York City duplex. Soon after, the filmmaker admitted to the relationship with Previn, who was 10 when he and Farrow began dating in 1980, and Farrow used that as leverage to get sole custody of her biological son with the director. Two decades later, Allen and Previn are married and have two daughters, Bechet and Manzie Tio, who they adopted as babies in 1999 and 2000 respectively.

Last year, Ronan opened up about his family drama to Life magazine. Of Allen, he said, “He’s my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression. I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent. I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children.”

Rihanna gets new gun-shaped tattoo

Emma Stone reveals she suffers from panic attacks

 

Mario Testino/VogueActress Emma Stone may have risen to fame playing spunky and gregarious characters like the feisty aspiring journalist in “The Help” or the freshman lawyer who makes a womanizer change his ways in “Crazy, Stupid, Love.,” but, in the July issue of Vogue, she reveals she turned reclusive as a kid thanks to panic attacks, the first of which she suffered at the age of eight. “I was just kind of immobilized by it,” she tells the magazine. “I didn’t want to go to my friends’ houses or hang out with anybody, and nobody really understood.”

Her parents put her in therapy, but Stone, who grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, eventually found something else that helped — acting. At 11 she started getting involved in improv comedy … and the experience changed her life forever. “It gave me a sense of purpose. I wanted to make people laugh,” she explains. “Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.”

The panic attacks haven’t stopped either, still creeping up now and then, even during her now-famous scene in “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” where Ryan Gosling lifts her up high above his head ballroom-style a la “Dirty Dancing,” she admits. To avoid the attacks while shooting “Spider-Man,” she took an unusual approach — baking. “I think I felt really out of control of my surroundings. I was just baking all the time. There were stacks of things in the kitchen that nobody could possibly go through,” Stone, 23, explains. “It seemed like it made me feel, if I put these in, I’ll know what the outcome is … I was overbaking.”

Jennifer Lopez Models Summer’s Hottest Swimsuits

A couple of years after beginning improv in her native Arizona, Stone convinced her parents (with a PowerPoint presentation, no less) to let her go to Los Angeles to follow her dream of acting. In 2004, she and her mother made the move to Tinseltown, where Stone began auditioning while being homeschooled, landing some TV parts, and eventually her first major film — Judd Apatow’s “Superbad” opposite Jonah Hill and Michael Cera in 2007. A slew of other flicks followed and this summer she stars in what could be her biggest movie yet: “The Amazing Spider-Man,” in which she plays the superhero’s love interest … on screen and off. Though she wouldn’t address her relationship with co-star and now-boyfriend Andrew Garfield in the interview, she did shower him with accolades … for his acting, of course. “As an actor, I learned a lot from working with Andrew, in terms of his approach and the way he works,” she says of “The Social Network” star, 28. “He’s incredibly giving.”

Together, Stone and Garfield have become a hot Hollywood couple, trailed by paparazzi and front and center at big showbiz bashes like the recent Tony Awards. But the fame part of it all is still something Stone is getting used to.

“The concept of movie star is something that you can never wrap your head around,” she says. “Not being a cog in a machine, there being guys in New York with cameras — it feels like it’s happening to a different person,” she confesses. “That loss of anonymity, not being able to just sit and watch in certain circumstances being able to just sit and watch in certain circumstances, is very strange and very new.”

Jack Osbourne on his multiple sclerosis diagnosis: ‘adapt and overcome’ is my new motto

• Just weeks after Jack Osbourne celebrated the birth of his first child in April, he returned to the same hospital where his fiancée, Lisa Stelly, delivered their daughter, Pearl Clementine, and was given devastating news: he has multiple sclerosis.

“The timing was so bad,” the 26-year-old son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne told Hello magazine. “I’d just had a baby, work was going great… I kept thinking: ‘Why now?'”

Jack, who as a teen appeared on the MTV reality series “The Osbournes” with his famous family, explained that he went to a doctor for testing after a frightening incident during which he lost vision in his right eye. After testing, Jack learned he has the incurable autoimmune disease that attacks the brain and central nervous system.

“While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry,” he told the British magazine. “Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized: ‘Being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point, if anything it’s only going to make it worse… ‘adapt and overcome’ is my new motto.”

His treatment plan includes a combination of daily medication, holistic therapies, and changes to his lifestyle.

Jack is being showered with support by his family, who were reeling from the news. “I keep thinking: ‘What did I do wrong? … I feel like it’s somehow my fault,” Sharon told Hello. His rocker father, Ozzy, was interviewed for the story and he said the news hit him hard. “If it was me, you’d think: ‘Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him,’ but Jack is such a good guy.”

Meanwhile, his sister Kelly addressed it on Twitter, writing: “Thank you all so much for the kind and inspirational words. It means a lot. Please support my brother @mrjacko in not only his bravery but honesty! i love you so much jack & I’m so proud of you!”

Sixteen years after the Spice Girls’ song “Wannabe” was released, Victoria Beckham, the former Posh Spice, has truly become the fashionista everyone wants to dress like. The 38-year-old frequently outfits Hollywood stars in her Victoria Beckham dresses, and even won the Designer Brand of the Year honor at the 2011 British Fashion Awards last November, beating out labels like Tom Ford, Burberry, and Stella McCartney.

 

Macy Gray talks teens (she has three!), tunes, and tattoos

 

(Tony Reed/Splash News)There are many things about Macy Gray that make her stand out in a crowd — her eclectic sense of style, free-flowing mane, unique voice, and, of course, talent. So when she arrives for an interview with omg! in bustling midtown Manhattan, where the sidewalks were jam-packed with pedestrians, it’s easy to spot her emerging from a cab. Everyone else spots her, too — heads turn, people whisper, camera phones snap, and more than a few say “Hi Macy.” She takes it all in stride, acknowledging fans as she strolls to our meeting spot. When I note that it must be hard for someone like her to fly under the radar, she says, “Most of the time when I walk down the street, I don’t remember that people know who I am. Until someone says something to me, I completely forget.”

 

What’s unforgettable about 44-year-old Gray is her voice. Fans fell in love with her distinctive sound when her hit song “I Try” was released in 1999. It was all over the radio and it led to her winning a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She has gone on to release six studio albums in total, including the latest, Covered, in which she covers some of her favorite songs. “I caught this Nina Simone video a long time ago and she had taken ‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra and turned it into a proper Nina Simone song,” Gray says when asked about the inspiration behind an album of all covers, including a great rendition of “Creep” by Radiohead and The Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again.” “I thought that would be a great challenge — to take a song and make it my own. I wanted to do rock songs because I thought any other genre would be really obvious. I think we did good though! I like it a lot.”

(Maxx/Splash News)After 12 years in the music business, Gray is now the mother of three teens — Aanisah, 16, Mel, 15, and Happy, 14, whose father is her ex-husband Tracy Hinds — so one of the 10 tracks on the album is an ode to them, My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers.” “The first time I heard that song, I loved it,” she tells omg!. “I wanted to do it, but lyrically it didn’t make sense for me. So we flipped the lyrics a little bit. Now it’s a little different because it’s coming from a mother’s perspective, but it has the same meaning.”

Gray says juggling a career in showbiz and a family is difficult, but no more so than your average parent. “I think motherhood is hard for any mother,” she says. “I’m gone a lot so I’ve missed a few things. But they’re older now, we’re all very used to each other and each other’s lifestyle, so it’s one of those things where you just work it out. You don’t really know how you did it — it’s just part of life.” Interestingly enough, her kids are at an age where they can give her solid opinions about her music and she’s been known to take their advice. “I don’t go out and change my songs to make everything based on what they say, but I do listen to what they have to say,” she says, noting: “They have really good taste.”

Another song on Gray’s album is “Smoke 2 Joints” by The Toyes, which prompts a question about how she discusses the topic of drug use with her kids. “I talk to them about it a lot, but, ya know, kids are going to do what they’re going to do,” she shrugs. “It’s been a challenge to keep them on the right path — but I really think that is for any mother. You have parents who have never touched drugs and their kids are completely methed out. Then you have parents who are strung out and their kids haven’t touched it. Everybody has their own path and their own journey and as a mom you do your best, but your kids have minds of their own.”

Gray appears in the upcoming film Paperboy and attended the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. (Getty Image …And so does Gray. Not surprisingly, the singer, who is known for her distinct fashion sense, sports three tattoos in tribute to family members. When asked about her ink, Gray points to her arm — “Well, this one says ‘motherhood,'” she explains. “I wrote that one night when my son made me cry. I got it to balance out my pain — from the inside to the outside. I have another one with my kids’ names on it: Happy, Mel, and my [eldest] daughter’s nickname is Boopy. The last one, on my calf, says ‘Daddy’ because my father died a few years ago. I got this before he died.”

Although Gray briefly competed on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2009 (she was eliminated during week two), she’s quick to say she has no interest in appearing in the upcoming special all-star edition of the series. Like most of the contestants, she dropped a lot of weight while training for the show. “I lost like 25 pounds without even trying!” she says. “You’re so busy dancing, you forget to eat.” These days she gets her exercise by running or walking in her Los Angeles neighborhood or riding her stationary bike at home. “I bike in a Sauna Suit and watch TV,” says Gray, referring to an article of clothing designed to make the person wearing it sweat heavily. Her favorite shows to watch include reality-competition series (she still prefers “American Idol” to “The Voice” “because ‘Idol’ has better talent”) as well as “those weird crime-solving stories like, ‘Snapped’ — that’s my favorite show. It’s about women who kill their husbands,” she says, bursting into laughter over her own description of the program.

And when she’s not watching shows about crazy, murderous women, Gray sometimes turns to the Internet. “I used to love Facebook. I couldn’t wait to go on. You know how people want to take a picture just so they can put it on their Facebook page? I would see a piece of fruit and think: ‘I gotta put that on my Facebook!’ Then I just got burnt out on it. Bored. Now I just tweet a little bit.”

Funny enough, on a recent day, she’s sharing some happy news on Twitter. Eldest daughter Aanisah was accepted at the prestigious art college Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and the singer was excitedly shouting to the world: “Thas my baby whose goin to college.”

So, motherhood is hard for any mother, but it seems like Gray’s doing a good job.
