Was he pleased with his controversial speech/pep talk/comedy routine at the Republican National Convention? “It didn’t get the response I wanted,” Eastwood tells the Sun-Times. “I was hoping they would nominate me. My ambitions were tremendous.” He says those words in the slow, distinctive Clint Eastwood voice. “My only message was, I just wanted people to take the idolizing factor out of every contestant out there,” he says. “Look at the work and the background.” How does he think he handled it? “I did it in a roundabout time that took more t...

The putting-on-my-crew album has long been a rite of passage -- and stumbling block -- for rap stars. Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music compilation “Cruel Summer” fails in the same way most do: It’s a disjointed assemblage of rhyme styles and perspectives with no overarching musical direction. In short, a mixtape. Not that there’s anything wrong with mixtapes. They’re the buzz-building lifeblood of the rap game. But they’ve got an intentionally short shelf-life, forgotten after a few weeks. And despite West’s oversight, “Cruel Summer” is utterly disposable â€" one-liners and posturing, beat switches and orchestral flourishes that are momentarily entertaining but don’t cohere. The thing is, West knows how to surround himself with talent: John Legend backed his very first tour. He flirted with a super-group featuring Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell and famously paired with Jay-Z last year for “Watch The Throne.” And there is plenty of potential on display here...

There is no doubt about it, Nicki Minaj scored a huge win this week when she was announced as one of the new judges on "American Idol," but what does Nick's new gig mean for hip-hop as a whole? Well, Wiz Khalifa told MTV News that if the YMCMB Barb could judge "Idol," then the weed-loving MC himself could judge another singing competition. The notion doesn't sound so far-fetched to Karen Civil, who runs her own blog at KarenCivil.com and oversees the social networking accounts for Lil Wayne and Dr. Dre's Beats by Dre headphone line. "I can see Wiz hosting one of those shows, even though he smokes a lot," she told MTV News. Civil believes that the "Idol" move is a win-win for both Fox and Nicki Minaj. "Nicki, at this point, is universal, and now, she gets to bring in these new set of fans. People who weren't familiar with her are going to be familiar with her," she said, also pointing out what makes Nicki s...

Extra TV Clint Eastwood talks about Romney and Obama while promoting his new movie, “Trouble with the Curve,” on Extra. Even Clint Eastwood isn’t defending Mitt Romney for inviting him to speak at the Republican National Convention. When asked about his infamous performance with an empty chair during an interview with Extra, Eastwood quickly passed the buck to his down-on-his-luck candidate. “If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get," he said, acknowledging that his comedy routine didn’t get unanimously glowing reviews. CLINT EASTWOOD SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HIS BIZARRE GOP CONVENTION SPEECH - AND NOT TO AN EMPTY CHAIR “People loved it or hated it and that’s fine,” he said. “That’s what it was supposed to be.” But Eastwood still had nice things to say about Romney, expressing hope that as president he would “be a little more organized, a little more b...

Nicki Minaj draws inspiration from a wide range of places, but you'd be surprised at what motivated her to make the unexpected jump 
 to a hot seat on the upcoming 12th season of "American Idol." "I remember watching 'American Idol' in the first season and feeling inspired," Minaj said on Monday during a press conference announcing her ascendancy to the panel. "I spoke to [season 6 winner] Jordin Sparks the other day and here she is starring in a movie ['Sparkle'] and I said to her, 'I remember watching you and picking up my phone."

Sitting comfortably on top of the iTunes singles charts, his massive hit, "Gangnam Style" has millions of fans mimicking his gallop-like dance moves and singing along to the lyrics ... even if they are unsure of their meaning.
