Chris Brown's mom recently defended her son's Halloween costume on Twitter.  Find out what she said inside and watch the "Girl On Fire" video from Alicia Keys featuring Nicki Minaj.
You may have heard about Chris Brown and his friends dressing up like "terrorists" for Halloween, and "you" might have been offended by it.  But one person who's in Chris corner is his mom Joyce Hawkins.  Joyce, who mainly uses her Twitter account to post inspirational messages and news about Chris, spoke about the controversy saying,
“Halloween is for fun, nothing more than just fun. Get a life please. So does this mean when we dress our kids as Satan we glorifying him or (is) it just out of fun???? … Keep smiling angel.”
Sigh.  A mother's love....she will defend Chris to the end.
And in new music videos...



A The succes of Alicia Keys' "Girl On Fire" single and video has prompted her to make a video for the "Inferno version" featuring Nicki Minaj. The track is the lead single off Alicia's upcoming Girl On Fire disc which she described saying, “This [album] is me stepping into my complete woman- hood, my journey to becoming fearless.”
Watch the new version ft. Ms. Minaj above....

Jay-Z has signed on to give President Obama's final campaign rally a huge push.  Get the deets inside, plus how he and his wife & baby girl jetted to a 5-star hotel to escape Superstorm Sandy...
Hov is giving President Obama another big push on his final day of campaigning.  Jay, along with Bruce Springsteen, will perform at O's final rally in Columbus, Ohio on Monday (Nov. 5th).  This comes after The Carters hosted a $4 mill fundraiser for the Commander-In-Chief.

Other celebs stomping on the final campaign trail--Stevie Wonder, Marc Anthony and Gabrielle Union all joined First Lady Michelle Obama in Florida yesterday.  And Dave Matthews Band is rocking out in Bristow, VA on Saturday with the Prez & Former Prez Bill Clinton.

And being a celeb has its perks.  The Carters nabbed up a room at the uber swanky Mark Hotel on the upper east side of NYC this week as Sandy wrecked havoc on the tri-state area.  Hotels in the whole city have been completely sold out all week.

The fam had to leave their lower Manhattan Tribeca home as the entire lower half of Manhattan--beneath 40th street--lost power and steam.  Even running water in some places.

So the twosome joined a slew of other stranded celebs at the same hotel--their Trbeca neighbor Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Russell Crowe, French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and more.
They also hit up a Halloween party to lift their spirits (in case a cushy suite wasn't enough) on Wednesday at Cipriani 42nd St.  Dita Von Teese hosted and Russell Crowe tweeted:

Must be nice...
By the way, check out The Carters on EBONY's 2012 Power 100 list.  Congrats to all!


Alicia Keys Performs ‘Girl on Fire,’ Stars in PSA for ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Alicia Keys

After Hurricane Sandy forced “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to cancel his Brooklyn show on Monday, Alicia Keys rescheduled her appearance for Friday. The New York-bred songstress didn’t have to travel far from home. Like many others, Alicia was affected by the devastating East Coast storm and had some of her musical equipment damaged by water.

During the sit-down interview, she spoke about dressing her two-year-old son Egypt as Michael Jackson for Halloween and balancing motherhood with being a pop star. To help celebrity parents like herself rediscover their badass selves, she starred in a funny PSA called “Helping Parents to Rock.”
But that wasn’t all. She capped off Jimmy’s week in Brooklyn on a high note with a performance of her hit single “Girl on Fire.”

Rihanna tweeted a sexy and playful pic following her Halloween party this week. See Rihanna's topless "morning after" look inside and get the deets on Kanye West's upcoming "Cruel Winter" project the G.O.O.D. Music folks are bringing out...

Following her Halloween bash, Rihanna apparently woke up camera ready the next morning and tweeted, 'The morning after! Hello November'. In the flick, the singer is topless and stares at the camera as if she's had a long night of....yeah.

Before the party, her bestie Melissa took a snapshot of Rih getting ready for the evening in her green "carnaval queen" gown and veil.  Earlier, Riri had been crowned the queen of the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval.

Folks at the party say the pop diva could be seen giving " lap dance" to her "friend" Chris Brown, who attended the party in a controversial costume.  We're sure...

BONUS:


Rihanna just released behind the scenes footage from her Unapologetic photo shoot. Watch it above.

In other music news....

Kanye West seemed to use former President George Bush as inspiration for his latest music trailer, a short film called "Cruel Winter."  The one minute clip, directed by Austin Christianson, shows stark and dramatic scenes from nature (trees, leaves, an open field) while audio from George Bush's "Toward a New World Order" speech plays in the background.  So what does all the mean?  No one knows...or at least no one is revealing anything.  Do we ever know with 'Ye though?
We do know that Q-Tip revealed the name of the project during the BET Hip Hop Awards, but he did not give up any details about what fans can expect.
But because Kanye also premiered a short film in Cannes before the release of Cruel Summer, we suspect this will be a musical project of a similar nature.  So maybe the avant garde film will give birth to a full out G.O.O.D. album?
He loves to keep folks guessing.....
