T-Pain Talks ‘Reverse Cowgirl’ In The MTV Newsroom
Few stars know how to make an entrance like T-Pain. Remember his incredible approach via elephant at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards? When T-Pain shows up, you know the dude is in the room.

But the tens of thousands of fans gathered in downtown [...] Continue reading
Sway On Michael Jackson’s Memorial: ‘It Was Extremely Challenging’
