Today marks a special day for the MTV Staying Alive Foundation, as they unveil their brand spanking new ambassador, global superstar, Tinie Tempah.

That’s right; the Written In The Stars rapper will be joining the likes of Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, and Becca Dudley to join MTV Staying Alive in the global fight against HIV.

As ambassador, Tinie will represent MTV Staying Alive on a global scale, acting as the spokesperson and face of the organisation.

HIV/AIDS is not only the number one killer of adolescents in Africa, 42% of all new HIV infections occur in young people.

Tinie will help MTV Staying Alive increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and raise funds to boost the charity’s youth-focussed HIV-prevention work around the world.

HIV is an issue close to the rapper’s heart, and Tinie—real name Patrick Okogwu—has been outspoken about why he chose to represent MTV Staying Alive, saying:

“If we’re going to end HIV, then we need to raise awareness and get people talking. I think it’s my duty, and the duty of other artists, to use their platform and their voice for social good. I can’t wait to help MTV Staying Alive positively impact the lives of young people around world.”

In his first duty as ambassador, Tinie is set to headline MTV Staying Alive’s exclusive funding-raising event, Foundin London on May 14, 2015.

Kim K having too much sex

Doc warns her to bring it down!

Kim Kardashian has been warned by her doctor that she’s having too much sex.

Yep, the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star - who once boasted of having sex 500 times a day - has been informed by specialists that she needs to cut down on her bedroom antics with Kanye West.



Speaking to E! News, Kimmy admitted: “The doctors said he thinks I'm having sex too much. He said one time is more powerful... so we've tried everything.”

The 34-year old went on to state she’s confused over why she isn’t pregnant with a sibling for North West yet, adding: “I've done everything so perfect to try and get pregnant. There's a list of things you shouldn't be doing and I was perfect for eight to 10 months and now I don't understand.

“I’m going to do everything that I want to do and that includes going platinum. Hopefully I will get pregnant doing all the wrong things. I'm totally changing my tactics.”


Remember when the Kardashians looked like this?

Kim - who confessed to having intercourse 15 times a day with Yeezy - went on: “I’m over it. I'm over trying, overthinking it, hence why I dyed my hair blonde.

“Literally teenagers on meth get pregnant in two seconds. It's crazy. When you don't want to be pregnant, it happens.”

In a recent episode of KUWTK, Kim shared a little too much information after lying on a bed with her legs in the air in a bid to conceive after sleeping with Yeezy… leaving sister Khloe Kardashian open-mouthed!

Breezy throws shade at K

Tran's beach belfie gets Chris hot!

Source: Joanne Dorken

It seems Chris Brown still isn’t fully over his split from Karrueche Tran, with the singer appearing to throw shade at her on Instagram.

The 26-year old - who dumped Breezy after it emerged he had a nine-month old daughter - took to the image-sharing website to post a snap of herself in a bikini and showing off her booty on a beach.



Tran captioned the image: “I'm president of the Itty Bitty Committee #ThirstyTuesday.”However, it seems Chris wasn’t a fan of Karrueche’s sexy snap, with eagle-eyed fans spotting that he’d commented: “Thirst trap 101. ;) Continue to be a lady beautiful…. U are perfect… Don’t let the Thot form from anger.”

While Breezy may have called Tran “perfect”, it seems his comment may have been a back-handed compliment.



Karrueche is still yet to comment on his remark, with Chris since spotted spending time with his daughter Royalty and her mother Nia - before going to a strip club with pal Tyga and blowing $8,000.

DJ Khaled sued by jeweler for collecting blings and not paying for them

All these people that will be showing off with things that don't belong to them...lol. DJ Khaled has been sued an a NY jeweler who says the rapper ordered a ton of bling from him and has refused to pay for them. He says Khaled is owing him over $100,000

According to TMZ, in papers filed in court, the jeweler said Khaled got 2 Rolex watches, a custom made diamond chain, a pair of diamond earrings & a 4 carat diamond ring from Rafaello & Company in 2012.

The company, R&C says it had a written agreement with Khaled that gave him 15 days to check out any jewelry the company sent him. The deal was ... if he liked the goods, he would pay -- and if not, send 'em back.

But in the lawsuit, R&C says Khaled did neither -- keeping the watches, chain, earrings and ring ... and never paid a dime for them when he was billed.

Lol. Because Kim K stepped out without her wedding ring, they're now saying she's leaving Kan

ye

MediaTakeOut will not kill someone with their stories. Now they swear Kim Kardashian is about to dump Kanye West and will sell the story for $500k. They swear it's 100% facts...lol. Read below...
"We've all been wondering how long it will be until Kim Kardashian dumps Kanye West . . . well it happened. MTO confirmed that Kim Kardashian has officially dropped Kanye West. We're told that Kris Jenner worked out an exclusive with one of the gossip weeklies - who will officially break the news tomorrow. We're told there was a bidding war for the story, and that Kim and Kris will be paid more than $500K for the story.
As we speak, Kanye's in the UK - enjoying time with his daughter, and his mother in law Kris Jenner. All the while - she negotiated a cover exclusive with a gossip weekly - to announce that Kim's filing for divorce. Now that's cold blooded. Oh, and Kim's no longer wearing her ring.

Madonna's 40 Biggest Billboard Hits

By michael fidelity

Madonna
Mert and Marcus

She's the Queen of Pop and royalty on the Billboard charts. To celebrate Madonna's career, we've compiled an exclusive ranking of the diva's 40 biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit singles.

Madonna's Fashion Evolution: 55 Iconic Looks
'Madonna' at 30: A Look Back at the Queen of Pop's Debut

Since arriving on the Hot 100 the week of Oct. 29, 1983, with "Holiday," she has earned a total of 56 chart hits, including a record 38 top 10 singles. Yes, you read that right: Madonna has more top 10 hits than any other artist in the 55-year history of the chart (and incidentally, Madonna was born the exact same month as the Hot 100). The Beatles are in second place, with 34 top 10s.

Hot 100 55th Anniversary: Top 100 Songs, Top Artists & More

The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

40

"Rain"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 14 Peak Year: 1993

"Rain," the fourth single from 1992's "Erotica" album, comes in at No. 40 on Madonna's all-time biggest hits list. The commercial release of the maxi-single (and 12" vinyl) was bolstered by the previously unreleased track "Up Down Suite" as well as a jazzy/hip-hip remix of the "Erotica" album cut "Waiting" (featuring Everlast).

39

"Oh Father"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 20 Peak Year: 1990

Accompanied by a stunning black and white music video, the haunting ballad "Oh Father" was the fourth single from the "Like a Prayer" album. At the time, "Oh Father" had the unfortunate honor of ending Madonna's string of 17 consecutive top 10 hits. "Oh Father" stalled out at No. 20 while all 17 Madonna singles from "Borderline" (1984) through "Cherish" (1989) had reached the top 10.

38

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina" (From "Evita")

Hot 100 Peak Position: 8 Peak Year: 1997

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina" took an unconventional route to the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Recorded as the sweeping centerpiece to the movie "Evita," the song wasn't necessarily a made-for-radio hit single. However, uptempo dance mixes of the song were produced (which included new vocals from Madonna) and promoted to radio stations. The so-called "Miami Mix" (by producers Pablo Flores and Javier Garza) soon became a smash on the radio and led to a commercial release as a maxi-single and 12" vinyl. Pent-up demand for the remixes engineered a No. 17 debut on the Hot 100 for the single on Feb. 22, 1997. The following week it sailed to its No. 8 peak.

37

"Holiday"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 16 Peak Year: 1984

Madonna's first Billboard Hot 100 hit (though not her first single), debuted at No. 88 on Oct. 29, 1983 -- and the chart hasn't been the same ever since. The cut would eventually rise to No. 16 on Jan. 18, 1984 and was the first of three top 20 singles from Madonna's self-titled debut album. "Holiday" is also the third and final non-top-10 hit (with Nos. 37, 39 and 40) on this round-up of Madonna's biggest singles. Every other tune on this tally reached the top 10.

36

"Hanky Panky"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 10 Peak Year: 1990

In 1990, Madonna could have released pretty much anything and it would have been a hit single. Take for example this goofy (but catchy!) ditty about having a "good spanky." It reached No. 10 on July 28 of that year, as Madonna's massive Blond Ambition Tour was winding its way around the globe. "Hanky Panky" was the second, and final, single from the "I'm Breathless" album (a sort of companion set to the "Dick Tracy" film, in which she co-starred). The first "Breathless" release was "Vogue" -- but more on that single in a little bit.

35

"Rescue Me"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 9 Peak Year: 1991

"Rescue Me" was one of two new songs recorded for Madonna's first greatest hits album, 1990's "The Immaculate Collection." When it debuted at No. 15 on the March 2, 1991 Hot 100 chart, it marked the highest-ever bow for a single by a woman. Further, it was -- at the time -- one of only four titles to debut in the top 20. The song had been an airplay hit for a full three months before it finally arrived on the Hot 100, as the single had been held back from commercial release. As "Rescue Me's" release was delayed until it had reached its peak of popularity on the radio, it had an artificially short run -- 8 weeks -- on the Hot 100.

34

"Hung Up"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 7 Peak Year: 2005

The lead single from 2005's "Confessions on a Dance Floor" boogied its way to No. 7 on the Hot 100 in 2005 and was the first of two chart hits from her discofied album. (A second hit, "Sorry," reached No. 58.) "Hung Up" featured a galloping sample from ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" while its video had Madonna channeling "Saturday Night Fever" whilst clubbing in London.

33

"Die Another Day"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 8 Peak Year: 2002

The title track from the James Bond film, released in 2002, became the first Bond tune to reach the top 10 on the Hot 100 since Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" hit No. 1 in 1985. Further, "Die Another Day" was the first official Bond theme song to even chart on the tally since "A View to a Kill." The electro-hued single would go on to appear on Madonna's 2003 album, "American Life."

32

"Ray Of Light"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 5 Peak Year: 1998

"Ray Of Light" continues to hold the record for Madonna's highest-debuting single ever, as it started at No. 5 on the Hot 100 chart dated July 11, 1998. The single was the title track (and second single) from Madonna's 1998 album, and went on to win a Grammy Award for best dance recording. Its corresponding music video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, also won a Grammy for best short form music video, and earned five MTV Video Music Awards (including Video of the Year).

31

"Erotica"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 3 Peak Year: 1992

The dark and sexy single -- the lead-off track from her 1992 album of the same name -- launched with a bang at No. 13 on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 17, 1992. It zoomed to its peak of No. 3 the following week, kept out of the top two slots by Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" (No. 1) and Patty Smyth's "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" (No. 2).

"Deeper And Deeper"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 7 Peak Year: 1993

The "Erotica" album's swirling second single, "Deeper and Deeper," topped out at No. 7 on the Hot 100, spending 17 weeks on the list. Its retro music video is riddled with cameos, including her now manager Guy Oseary, Sire Records chief Seymour Stein, longtime friend and actress Debi Mazar and adult film director/DJ/drag diva Chi Chi LaRue.

29

"Keep It Together"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 8 Peak Year: 1990

"Keep It Together" was the fifth commercial single from Madonna's 1989 "Like a Prayer" album and was initially planned to carry with it a previously unreleased b-side. The b-side in question? "Vogue." Luckily, that anthem would go on to have its own single release. Instead, "Keep It Together" set sail on its own -- without a sexy b-side to spice up sales. However, "Keep It Together" was remixed to become slightly more radio-friendly. Its redux was reminiscent of the then-popular track "Back to Life" by Soul II Soul.

28

"You'll See"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 6 Peak Year: 1995

Composed and produced with David Foster, "You'll See" was one of a handful of new tunes Madonna recorded for her 1995 ballads collection "Something to Remember." The ballad, which showcased Madonna's newly-trained vocal abilities, would prepare audiences for her lead role in the following year's "Evita." "You'll See's" music video became Madonna's first sequel clip -- as it followed the story set in motion in dramatic "Take a Bow" short.

27

"Borderline"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 10 Peak Year: 1984

Madonna's first top 10 single was the first of a staggering 17 consecutive top 10s for the singer from 1984 through 1989. "Borderline's" music video was the first collaboration between Madonna and director Mary Lambert, who would go on to helm her clips "Like a Virgin," "Material Girl," "La Isla Bonita" and "Like a Prayer."

26

"Don't Tell Me"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 4 Peak Year: 2001

"Don't Tell Me" was the second single from the "Music" album and was co-written by Madonna's brother-in-law, recording artist Joe Henry. He would later release his own version of the track, re-titled "Stop," on his 2001 album "Scar."

25

"Frozen"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1998

The lead single from the "Ray Of Light" album marked a sonic change in Madonna's career, thanks to its co-producer, William Orbit. The track was heavily influenced by electronic dance music and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100. It would have perhaps reached the top of the chart, had it not been for K-Ci & JoJo. The week that "Frozen" zoomed from No. 5 to No. 2, the R&B duo's "All My Life" raced up the chart from No. 15 to No. 1 -- blocking Madonna from the penthouse.

24

"Lucky Star"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 4 Peak Year: 1984

"Lucky Star" is the lone Hot 100 hit in Madonna's catalog that was composed entirely by the diva herself. The uptempo number riffs a bit on the old nursery rhyme "Star Light, Star Bright" and has endured as one of Madonna's most beloved dance tracks.

23

"Dress You Up"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 5 Peak Year: 1985

"Dress You Up" is the first of four singles on this tally from Madonna's "Like a Virgin" album. The plucky dance track was produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers (as was the rest of the "Virgin" album) and was the final single released from the set.

22

"This Used To Be My Playground"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 Peak Year: 1992

Written for the film "A League of the Their Own," which co-starred Madonna, this delicate ballad become her 10th No. 1 single in the summer of 1992. It barely squeaked into the top slot, as it spent a solitary week at No. 1 -- sandwiched between two monster hits. It followed a five-week No. 1 run by Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" and immediately preceded a 13-week reign by Boyz II Men's "End of the Road." Curiously, Madonna has yet to perform "This Used to Be My Playground" live -- either on tour or during a promotional appearance.

21

"Angel"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 5 Peak Year: 1985

One of Madonna's many singles which she co-wrote with Stephen Bray, "Angel" reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 1985. Rather famously, "Angel's" 12" vinyl single contains one of the most famous b-sides in U.S. history: "Into the Groove." While "Into the Groove" received a proper release in other countries, in America, it was relegated to b-side status despite its enormous popularity both on the radio and on MTV.

"4 Minutes"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 3 Peak Year: 2008

"4 Minutes" is notable in that it was only the second single release in the U.S. from Madonna where she shared credit with another artist. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland joined forces with her on the track -- a little under five years after Madonna had first paired with Timberlake's former flame, Britney Spears, for "Me Against the Music."

19

"Secret"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 3 Peak Year: 1994

Co-produced and co-written with Dallas Austin, "Secret" was the first single from Madonna's R&B-hued "Bedtime Stories" album (1994). The strummy, hip-hop-light song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- stuck behind Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You" (No. 1) and Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do."

18

"La Isla Bonita"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 4 Peak Year: 1987

The Spanish-flavored track seems to be a favorite of Madonna's, as it has been included on the setlists of many of her concert tours. She also performed it at the 2007 Live Earth benefit show in London. "La Isla Bonita" was the fifth and final single from her "True Blue" album, and the cut reached No. 4 on the Hot 100.

17

"Cherish"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1989

The light, lovey-dovey pop song was a throwback to '60s girl groups and doo-wop music, with couplets like "Romeo and Juliet they never felt this way I bet" and "You are my destiny, I can't let go baby, can't you see." The song's companion video clip was the first directed by photographer Herb Ritts. He had previously shot Madonna's album covers for "True Blue" and "Like a Prayer."

16

"True Blue"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 3 Peak Year: 1986

"True Blue" -- the title track from Madonna's 1986 album -- spent three weeks stuck at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. All about "true love, oh baby," the single is an unabashed peppy love song. Perhaps an indication of Madonna's (lack of) fondness of the track -- it has only been performed on one of her concert tours: 1987's Who's That Girl trek.

15

"Express Yourself"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1989

"Come on girls, do you believe in love?" Well, Madonna had something to say about it in 1989, when "Express Yourself" was released as the second single from the "Like a Prayer" album. The single's video was directed by a pre-super-stardom David Fincher and was the first of four video collaborations between the two artists.

14

"Causing A Commotion"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1987

"Causing a Commotion" was the second single from Madonna's "Who's That Girl" soundtrack, peaking at No. 2 for three straight weeks. (It was prevented from reaching the top by Michael Jackson's "Bad," which jumped to No. 1 the same week "Commotion" hit No. 2 for the first time.) "Causing a Commotion" also ranks as Madonna's biggest Hot 100 hit (on this top 40 recap) without an official music video.

13

"I'll Remember" (From "With Honors")

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1994

"I'll Remember," from the film "With Honors," is one of six Madonna singles that have peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Madonna holds the record for the most No. 2 hits in Hot 100 history. This particular track was lodged in the runner-up position for four weeks, behind All-4-One's "I Swear."

12

"Material Girl"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 2 Peak Year: 1985

"Material Girl" is one of those singles that some people might assume was a No. 1 hit for Madonna, however, it topped out at No. 2 on the Hot 100 tally in 1985. As the second hit from the "Like a Virgin" album, the song would also become a nickname for the diva herself (whether she liked it or not).

11

"Who's That Girl"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 Peak Year: 1987

We're entering rare air now, as every one of Madonna's top 11 hits of all time on the Hot 100 chart are all No. 1s. "Who's That Girl" was the title track of the Madonna film and doubled as the lead single from its companion soundtrack.

"Open Your Heart"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 Peak Year: 1987

Madonna's third single from "True Blue" shot to No. 1 on the Hot 100 on Feb. 7, 1987, marking the singer's fifth chart-topper. Its video caused a stir as Madonna starred as an exotic dancer who becomes friends with a boy (played by dancer Felix Howard).

9

"Music"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (four weeks) Peak Year: 2000

Madonna's most recent Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 is "Music," which spent four weeks atop the tally in late 2000. The cut was the lead single of the "Music" album, which again teamed her with William Orbit ("Ray of Light"). The single itself, like a fair portion of the album, was co-written and co-produced by Madonna and Mirwais.

8

"Live To Tell"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 Peak Year: 1986

After the madness of the boy toy era of Madonna's career (1983-1985), she surprised many with "Live To Tell" -- the lead track from her 1986 album "True Blue." The haunting ballad was written partially for the film "At Close Range" (which starred her her then-husband Sean Penn) and easily reached No. 1 on the Hot 100. The song was accompanied by a music video that introduced a decidedly toned-down Madonna to the public -- one of the diva's first major so-called re-inventions.

7

"Papa Don't Preach"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (two weeks) Peak Year: 1986

"Papa Don't Preach" was one of the few songs that even Madonna's most conservative critics could find reason to champion. The song tells the story of a young woman who confesses to her father that she's become pregnant, however, she's opting to keep her baby (as opposed to giving it up).

6

"Like A Prayer"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (three weeks) Peak Year: 1989

Would anyone have thought that "Like a Prayer" -- which caused so much controversy in 1989 upon its release -- would ultimately end up being performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2012? Yeah, we didn't think so. The song premiered in a two-minute Pepsi commercial that aired during "The Cosby Show" on March 2, 1989. (Pepsi was set to sponsor Madonna's upcoming Blond Ambition Tour.) The next day, "Like a Prayer's" music video debuted -- you know, the one with the burning crosses, stigmata and so on? Yes, well, Pepsi high-tailed it away from Madonna and she -- again -- outraged the masses.

5

"Justify My Love"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (two weeks) Peak Year: 1991

"Justify My Love," like so many of Madonna's singles, spawned a music video that garnered more attention than perhaps the song itself. The clip for "Justify My Love" was so racy, MTV declined to air it entirely. Luckily for the buying public, Madonna opted to sell the video as the first-ever commercially available video single.

4

"Take A Bow"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (seven weeks) Peak Year: 1995

It may surprise some, but "Take a Bow" spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other Madonna single. (However, on this list, it ultimately ranks at No. 4.) With a seven-week run atop the Hot 100, 1995's "Take a Bow" returned her to the top of the chart for the first time since 1992 ("This Used to Be My Playground"). Co-written and co-produced with Babyface, "Take a Bow" is one of two No. 1 singles that she's yet to sing on tour -- the other is "This Used to Be My Playground."

"Crazy For You"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 Peak Year: 1985

Perhaps the ultimate slow-dance song, "Crazy For You" proved to be so popular upon its release, it bumped "We Are the World" by USA for Africa out of the No. 1 slot. Before "Crazy For You" had reached the top though, it had sat in the No. 2 position for three straight weeks, biding its time until it could push "We Are the World" aside.

"Vogue"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (three weeks) Peak Year: 1990

Initially planned as the b-side of "Keep It Together," Madonna's tribute to the fierceness that is vogueing was thankfully released as a single on its own. The thumping dance number is as iconic as its glamorous black-and-white music video, which was directed by David Fincher.

"Like A Virgin"

Hot 100 Peak Position: 1 (six weeks) Peak Year: 1984

It's somehow appropriate that Madonna's first No. 1, "Like a Virgin," tops our list of her 40 biggest Hot 100 hit singles. The title track and lead single from her 1984 album spent six weeks atop the chart and became one of the diva's signature songs. It was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and produced by Nile Rodgers.

First photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna together

TMZ just obtained the first photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna pictured together since news hit town that the A-listers are dating. The actor is pictured standing next to the singer at her birthday party two weeks ago. See the TMZ report after the cut...

Rihanna and Leo DiCaprio should be a perfect match -- neither's into settling down with one person for too long -- but now that they're banging ... one of them is way more committed than the other.

We got pics of RiRi and Leo getting cozy recently at her birthday party -- which he helped organize -- and sources at the bash tell us one thing was clear ... Rihanna's the clingy one.

We're told Leo is affectionate enough -- they engaged in plenty of PDA -- but he could barely get a moment to himself. As one source put it, "she's the baddest bitch in the party, but she's following him everywhere."

We're told they've been hooking up for about 3 months, but it's still not exclusive -- more like they're each other's first choice. Not that anyone's crying for either of them. #LeoProblems
