T.I. Name-Checks Tiger Woods On Leaked Usher Song

The hook of the first songs T.I. guests on since being sentenced to a year and a day in prison says, "Don't take me to jail." Isn't it ironic? Tip collaborates with Usher on a new leaked record from Raymond v. Raymond called "Guilty," where the singer is charged with breaking his girl's heart.

Tip did record another song with Usher last year before going to prison, but it sounds like the rhymes on "Guilty" were recorded recently — he name-checks a certain scandal-plagued athlete. "Right hand to the sky/ Strike me down if I a lie," the King of the South proclaims. "If she sayin' she's the victim in this case then what am I/ She got proof, well I got alibis too/ I never been on bullsh-- ... she ain't caught me on no Tiger Woods sh--/ Do what I expected when she met me/ Ballin' against the law/ Shawty arrest me then." Usher then pleads guilty.

"I guess I'm guilty of always being in the club," he sings. "I guess I'm guilty 'cause girls always wanna show me love/ I guess I'm guilty for living and having all of the fun/ Girl, I'm guilty for that/ Girl, I'm guilty."

Other recently leaked songs include "She Don't Know" featuring Ludacris and "OMG" featuring Will.I.Am.

KATY PERRY TALKS FELLOW FEMALE ARTISTS

Looking lovely on the cover of Nylon magazine, Katy Perry dished about her new music and her thoughts about other artists in the latest issue.

The “Waking Up in Vegas” singer spoke of the multiple different female singers out and what makes her different, telling, “You’ve got GaGa, who’s like, from outer space; you’ve got Ke$ha, who’s the beer-drinking, house-party girl; and then you’ve got Rihanna, who’s transforming the urban world into her own outer space.”

But Perry feels there’s something more needed in the mix. “I feel like you’re missing an Alanis Morissette, in 2010. I love how she was a voice for a lot of people who couldn’t explain their feelings. But it’s not like I’m not gonna compete. I love a good dose of healthy competition. It’s not going to be the same that they’re doing…”

Perry also opened up about what she and Taylor Swift have in common, saying, “Sometimes I really feel like I’m more of a Taylor Swift. She tells stories, and I think that’s why she resonates with a lot of people. She hits the hidden chord in them [where they say], ‘Oh my God, I’ve been through that too,’ or ‘You said it in a way I could never explain.’”

Lady Gaga Premieres Epic, Outrageous 'Telephone' Video

Well, that was certainly worth the wait.

On Thursday night (March 11), after months of anticipation, leaked on-set photos and rather excellent adventures in hairstyling, Lady Gaga's epic video for "Telephone" finally premiered during E! News, and, honestly, if there's something she didn't cram into the clip, well, then we missed it.

Part hyperkinetic pop-culture joyride — nods to everything from films like "Caged Heat" and "Kill Bill" to seizure-inducing Japanese television and the color-drenched photography of David LaChapelle — part electric dance extravaganza, "Telephone" is nine-plus minutes of everything you could possibly love about Gaga (and Beyoncé, who, we're sure you know by now, co-stars in the clip), only amped up to the nth degree.
