Welcome To Delahoyanews Blog: Hollywood's Top Earning Actor Of 2010
Welcome To Delahoyanews Blog: Hollywood's Top Earning Actor Of 2010: " It has been a big movie year. As you’ve probably guessed, 2010 was all about Leonardo DiCaprio. Two of his flicks, Shutter Isla..."
Eminem Ruled 2010
Eminem rose from ashes of disappointing album to top of the charts and ten Grammy nominations,
It's fitting that he is planning to return to the big screen next year in the "8 Mile"-inspired boxing film "Southpaw." Because like Rocky after he was counted down and out so many times in that famous pugilist movie serial, Marshall Mathers seemed like he'd run out of gas in 2009 only to come storming all the way back, and then some, in 2010 to post one of his biggest and baddest years to date.
At a time when younger artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Lady Gaga are relying on social media, a dizzying blitz of promotional appearances and concerts, and a nonstop hype machine to keep their careers stoked, Eminem's path back to the top of the musical heap was decidedly old-school: He released a great album in Recovery that emotionally connected with fans thanks to some of the most hook-heavy songs of his career while maintaining an elusive persona that kept them guessing.Recovery not only brought him back to the top of musical heap but also won ten Grammy nominations.

Justin Bieber And Chris Brown To Release a new Song
Justin Bieber has never shied away from a good collaboration. At the ripe old age of 16, the singer has worked with everyone from Sean Kingston and Ludacris to Kanye West and Raekwon. Now it looks like he has found a new collaborator: Chris Brown tweeted that he and the Biebs plan to drop a joint song this weekend.
It's unclear whose album the song is for, but Brown seemed enthusiastic about the collabo. "ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!!" Brown teased. "2011."

Bow wow Talks Label Switch and New Album
As you probably know by now, Bow Wow recently switched homes and became the latest new artist on Cash Money Records. With the change nearly done, Bow Wow sat down to discuss why he decided to switch record labels and how the change went down.He says
“It was time for me to move my brand elsewhere,” the 23-year-old explained. “I felt like the last label, nothing really bad to say about them, but I felt like the label was growing older and they didn’t really know what as far as my fan base as a younger audience really wanted. I felt like they was losing contact, so the best thing for me was to pick up and go to another place with a crew and everybody that got the same goal that I got, and that’s to win.”With one song from the upcoming album already out (the Chris Brown backed "Aint Thinkin About You"), Bow Wow says the first official single from the upcoming "Underrated" album will feature production from one of the most in-demand producers...
“The first single from the album is produced by Boi-1da, who is one of the hottest producers right now,He just sent me over something, and that will be the [single].”The album will also feature guest appearances from fellow rappers Lil Wayne, The Game and Nelly. There is no current release date for "Underrated

Gunit's top man 50 Cent’s 52 room Connecticut mansion was burglarized this morning by two men who were later arrested, reports TMZ.
At 6am security guards for the property called police reporting a suspicious car in the driveway. Cops later showed up to the home and found two men in the house. However one of the men was found hidden in the closet drunk with a bottle of wine which he stole from 50.

Lady Gaga wins MTV's woman of the year award
Providing even further proof that it's Lady Gaga's world and the rest of us are just living in it, the "Alejandro" singer has been named Woman of the Year by MTV—for the second year running.
Gaga beat out stiff competition such as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Jersey Shore enchantress Snooki and Nicki Minaj for the honor. (Nabbing top honors for Man of the Year? Gaga's would-be tour mate,to Kanye West.)
Explaining their decision, MTV noted,
"Lady Gaga didn't even release a proper album in 2010, and somehow, she managed to become an even bigger star. This had as much to do with the fact that she kept working with what she had — the endless tour, the incomparable videos — as it did with her harnessing her hard-fought stardom and attempting to become a force for social change. She spoke out loudly and proudly in support of gay rights and in opposition to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and, in the process, she became the kind of star we haven't seen in decades: One unafraid to offend, no matter how much she stood to lose.

The story of Timaya
Enetimi Odom, the singer popularly known as Timaya has come a long way from the Toyota Camry 2.2-cruising artiste of 2007, one of the benefits of the commercial success that trailed his debut album, True Story. When this reporter got to his well-appointed 5-bedroom duplex in Marwa Gardens, Ikeja, Lagos, last Monday afternoon, he was greeted by a glittering Range Rover Sport 2010. Black and shimmering, the ‘expensive machine’ was parked in front of the duplex. Inside, a white Escalade truck valued at about N10m sits in stately grandeur.
Apparently, Timaya lives the roller coaster life he sings about. However, life has not always been this sweet for him. In Plantain Boy, the lead single off his current album, De-Rebirth, he talks about his humble beginnings, and how rich he is now which does not beggar much belief going by available indices. But, how rich is he really? Without as much as a twitch, he says, ”A few years ago, I could not afford three square meals; I had nowhere to stay; I was actually squatting with a girlfriend who would send me out of her house at the slightest offence. But now, my story has changed.
“For every man, three things are fundamental, clothes, food and shelter. Those are no longer my problems. So, I‘m a very rich boy. I don‘t need to be as rich as (Mike) Adenuga to know that I am rich.” Timaya admits that sometimes he looks at himself and wonders whether his life is a fairy tale because “Whenever I look at my account, I get scared and ask myself, is all this money for me?”

T I reacts to his first week album sales
T.I. who is in jail recently shared his reaction to his new "No Mercy" album selling just over 159 thousand copies in it's first week in stores. With those numbers, "No Mercy" debuted at number 4 on the charts compared to his last project, "Paper Trail," selling 568,000 copies in it's first week and snagging the number 1 spot.He says
"What up world? First off I'd like to thank everybody again for going out and supporting the "Hustle" yet again with "No Mercy" last week. I can't say enough on how much I appreciate the support and all the positive feedback. I read so many tweets, letters, reviews and comments that spoke volumes to how much love was still out there and how much respect still exists for my art and my passion. I put so much of myself into what I do. I even read over the negative comments cuz' that's the kind of energy I feed off of to adjust, evolve and improve my craft until it manifests into the closest thing to perfection on the next go-round. I love hearing your opinions on what songs you like most for the next singles. We are taking all of them into consideration as we decide right now on which direction to head in. I know this seems like an unfortunate set of circumstances to endure for a career with so much potential but remember adversity builds character and character takes you places money can't. I know what's in store for me in the future so I ain't trippin' and neither should you. For now all my love and best wishes to you and yours for the holidays. Y'all hold it down out there and I'll do the same in here. And continue to spread the word about "No Mercy" & Team T.I.."
"What up world? First off I'd like to thank everybody again for going out and supporting the "Hustle" yet again with "No Mercy" last week. I can't say enough on how much I appreciate the support and all the positive feedback. I read so many tweets, letters, reviews and comments that spoke volumes to how much love was still out there and how much respect still exists for my art and my passion. I put so much of myself into what I do. I even read over the negative comments cuz' that's the kind of energy I feed off of to adjust, evolve and improve my craft until it manifests into the closest thing to perfection on the next go-round. I love hearing your opinions on what songs you like most for the next singles. We are taking all of them into consideration as we decide right now on which direction to head in. I know this seems like an unfortunate set of circumstances to endure for a career with so much potential but remember adversity builds character and character takes you places money can't.

Angelina Jolie premieres New Movie
Last night was the big premiere of The Tourist in Rome. I wonder why they didn’t do it in Venice, where the film is largely set? Oh, right. There would have been a gondola red carpet. Anyway, keeping with the sketchy hair/goth clothes thing, Angelina wore shades of black for the premiere. This time she didn’t go with sleeve-gloves, though, and opted for what looks like an interesting Carmen Marc Valvo black velvet jacket, loose gray-black silk pants, big hair and red lips.
Miley Cyrus Feels Her smoking in an upcoming movie Was No Big Deal
The video of Miley Cyrus smoking legal hallucinogen salvia from a bong might have shocked and disappointed a sizable portion of the population—including her father, Billy Ray Cyrus—when it leaked last week, but the 18-year-old Hannah Montana star reportedly doesn't think it's any big deal.
Friends close to the Disney princess tell TMZ that Cyrus knew that the video would eventually make its way into the public eye, and as far as she's concerned, her critics are just blowing smoke. According to one of her friend, "Miley doesn't care. She's just filming her movie and getting on with her life."
This week, Cyrus was spotted in New Orleans, where she's lensing the upcoming film So Undercover. In the movie, Cyrus plays a private eye who's hired by the FBI to go undercover at a college sorority—perhaps ironic, given the fact that, in her personal life, Cyrus apparently doesn't feel that she has much to hide anymore.

P diddy tries keeping peace between Nicki Minaj and Lil kim
Bad Boy CEO Sean combs aka Diddy recently talked about how he has stepped in to try and work out the current problem between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj, offering his opinion on both of the female rappers futures. Saying he hasn't remained close with Lil Kim, Diddy says he still has love for her.
"My whole take on the situation is that I love Lil' Kim no matter what's going on, no matter what's being said," Diddy said in an interview with Funk master Flex. "Kim definitely has a responsibility for my success. Me working with Nicki Minaj has nothing to do with going against Kim. When Kim works with other producers, when she raps with other artists, I'm not getting upset. It's not a problem...I think a lot of us who have been here for a long time including yourself, Flex, we have inspired a lot of people. We have motivated a lot of people, we have touched a lot of people in a certain way. We have been those cats that people aspire to be. I wouldn't be around Nicki if I ever heard [anything] negative said about Kim. I've never heard anything like that.
