Anderson Cooper, 50 Cent, Eve, Hinder, More Backstage At BRAVE Concert

NEW YORK — The action might have been on the stage at Thursday night’s “A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE,” as 50 Cent, Ludacris, Kanye West and Linkin Park paid tribute to the troops, but behind the scenes at the Nokia Theatre, there was no shortage of activity either.
Media stars, musicians and even Olympic gold-medalists provided the show behind the show, mingling in the venue’s two VIP green rooms — not to mention the “TRL” studios upstairs, where even more folks were packed away — watching the concert live on flat-screen TVs, cracking jokes, exchanging digits and posing for photos.
Early on in the evening, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo held court outside their dressing room, with an army of assistants, photographers and label workers nearby. After a few minutes of hanging out, Fif kicked the door to the room shut so that he could put on his camouflage pants in peace. He emerged a minute later (pants on), telling an associate that he was excited for the night’s performance, “because I can reach the troops, and I don’t have to go back to Iraq to do it.”
Later, after finishing their performance, the entire G-Unit clique posed for photos with sprinter LaShawn Merritt, who won two gold medals in the Beijing Olympics (and, yes, he was wearing them backstage). After the photo op, 50 went back into his room to change, and Banks — decked out in a massive Pelle Pelle jacket — checked out Hinder’s set, nodding in time to the pounding drum beat.
Across the hallway, as Hinder were screaming through their set, Ludacris was having a tough time of things. Not only was he visibly limping (as is generally the case when your left foot is immobilized in a giant cast), but the walls of the venue were preventing him from getting cell phone reception.
“I only got one bar down here, man,” he said to a security guard, before limping into an open area to try his luck again.
On the other side of the theater, in a bizarrely Moroccan-themed VIP area, Eve reclined on a couch while having her hair styled and talking to a friend about the World Series. And though she’s a Philly girl, she didn’t exactly sound like she had been paying attention to recent events.
“I’m not really watching it. I know the Phillies are in it, but who are they playing?” she asked the room, which included comedian Jeffrey Ross and CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “Who? The Tampa Bay Rays? OK, now I know what to say if people ask me.”
Eve was escorted to the stage, leaving Cooper to check out Angels & Airwaves’ performance on a flat-screen, and Ross and comedian Whoopi Goldberg to exchange pleasantries and pose for a few pics.
Upstairs in the “TRL” studios, things weren’t nearly as jovial. Sure O.A.R. seemed content in their dressing room, but the real drama was between rival rock acts Hinder and Saving Abel. No one seemed to be able to say just what the beef was about, but several headset-wearing members of the MTV production team were whispering about it. It bears mention that though the two bands shared adjacent dressing rooms, no one came to blows (though the guys in Hinder did request some Sprite, which, given their hard-partying personae, was a bit of a disappointment). Perhaps, in keeping with the spirit of things, both sides decided to quash their beef for one night only.
Don’t miss “A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE,” presented by MTV’s Choose or Lose campaign and CNN to support veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The show features performances by 50 Cent, Ludacris, Kanye West, Linkin Park, Hinder, Saving Abel and more, and airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.

American DJ S 100A 45W Sync Speed Strobe
I have learned how to make money on eBay and believe me, it really works. I started off out of curiosity on eBay auctions, how somebody can sell American DJ S 100A 45W Sync Speed Strobe at such a low bid. And then after a few weeks I decided to start my eBay business. I did my research, looked up for eBay alternative things, and I found out what products to sell on eBay. And how to get more bids and more buyers. I was so interested in the whole process; I sold my very first item. I decided to sell American DJ S 100A 45W Sync Speed Strobe. And it gave me a huge amount of profit.

50 Cent Talks About Performing For Vets At BRAVE Concert
October 25th, 2008 by music-teaching-powerpoint172688
‘These guys are tougher than the tough guys from my neighborhood,’ MC says of crowd at New York show.

50 Cent performs at “A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE”

NEW YORK — Backstage at the Nokia Theatre, about 30 minutes before he took the stage at “A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE,” 50 Cent was in the middle of lacing up his combat boots, when all of a sudden he stopped, adjusted his cap, leaned back in his chair and recalled what it was like Hip Hop Music Videos perform for U.S. troops in Iraq in 2004.
“It was intense, man. There was an intensity there,” he said, eyes moving toward the ceiling. “A lot of [soldiers] write these death notes before they go on missions, they write these notes that they want their loved ones to read. … They’re in this environment where death is everywhere.”
Clearly, the event made a lasting impression on him — so strong that he’s carried the memories of the soldiers he met that day with him ever since.
“A lot of the people I met [in Mosul] had been there since my first record came out — they’d been there since ‘03 — and you could tell, man. There was an intensity there,” he said. “It was eye-opening. It was like, ‘You think you’ve had a tough time? … These people have a tough time.’ They’re in this environment that’s more intense than anything you could imagine.”
Which is why, when he was approached earlier this month to appear at the BRAVE concert — which, in addition as serving as a “thank you” to the men and women serving in our armed forces, also aimed to raise awareness of the MTV’s BRAVE petition for veterans’ rights — 50 said yes without thinking twice. Not only because he’s met the troops himself, but because he’s become quite aware of the difficulties those troops have faced when returning home.
“I don’t think there’s any way you can understand it unless you’ve been there and seen it,” he said. “When they come back and realize that everyone went on with their lives, you know? People went to work, did their thing, and the troops come home and it’s tough for them to realize it, man. They have it tough, and that’s part of the reason I did ‘Home of the Brave’ [the 2006 film in which 50 played an vet returning home from Iraq], to try and tell that story to people.”
And with that, 50 is called to the stage. But as he meets fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo in the hallway, MTV News manages to get in one more question: He’s played before all sorts of crowds, all over the world — what’s it like to perform for an audience of vets?
“They’ve got an energy. You gotta come hard, you know? These guys are tougher than the tough guys from my neighborhood, ’cause they went over there willingly,” he laughed. “I know I wouldn’t want to put myself in that position. There are some tough guys in the crowd out there tonight.”
Don’t miss “A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE,” presented by MTV’s Choose or Lose campaign and CNN to support veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The show features performances by 50 Cent, Ludacris, Kanye West, Linkin Park, Hinder, Saving Abel and more, and airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.

Ne-Yo Kills Potential Beef With Yung Berg: ‘That Ain’t My Lane’
October 17th, 2008 by music-teaching-powerpoint172688
Berg posted a scathing video blog after Ne-Yo accused the rapper of copying Lil Wayne and T-Pain.

NEW YORK — Ne-Yo is still Ne-Yo. He’s not Game, he’s not 50 Cent — he doesn’t want a battle record on his stat sheet. On Wednesday, the singer insisted there will be no back-and-forth with Yung Berg.
In case you’re just tuning in, Ne-Yo appeared on the L.A. morning radio show “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” a few days ago, and Big asked him what person he would want to slap with three fingers. Ne-Yo said Yung Berg, for not being creative and for biting T-Pain and Lil Wayne by using the Auto-Tune effect on his song “The Business.”
Berg responded to the comment soon after with a video blog, in which he questioned Ne-Yo’s sexuality and even referred to the hitmaker as “Miss Independent.” Berg also said Ne-Yo’s girlfriend wanted him.
On Wednesday night at Gotham Hall in Manhattan — before Ne-Yo’s big Hennessy Artistry party and concert, which featured Fabolous and Leona Lewis performing for Usher, Aubrey O’Day, Ludacris, Brooke Shields and New York Knicks Stephon Marbury and Nate Robinson — the singer said he didn’t see Berg’s response but laughed off the situation.
“Response for what?” he said about going back at Berg. “That ain’t my lane, dude. I don’t beef. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I don’t do dis records. I don’t do beef. I don’t do any of that blogs talking about cats. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I’m a grown man. I got money to make.
“I can’t work with people that’s doing this for the fame element or the money element,” he continued. “I think that’s what’s destroying music. You got cats out here that are copycatting and doing stuff that’s popular. You know, doing it because that’s what’s in right now, whatever the case may be — but basically what you’re doing is killing music. You’re killing the creative element of what this is, which was the basis of this whole thing, which is self-expression.”
Expect a lot more to be coming in for Ne-Yo — his next big writing assignment is the new Usher album, and Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson are still on tap.

Monster Cable QL GMT H QuickLock Gold Banana Connectors
Speaker wire is made from copper wire that can corrode very quickly, rapidly deteriorating the performance of your cables and the overall performance of your system. To avoid this, always terminate your speaker wire with connectors. The kind of connector you need varies with the kinds of connectors on the back of your amp/receiver and your speakers. In many cases, the connectors will mandate Banana type plugs, and that’s where the QL GMT-H Package includes two pair (4 connectors)
Time was running out and I knew I had a limited time to get a Monster Cable QL GMT H QuickLock Gold Banana Connectors as a gift for (SOMEBODY). So I went to eBay (USA, UK, AU).
