Hell, to me it just looks like Mariah’s been eating too many Nutter Butters again, but that’s the word on the curb. The blogosphere is abuzz that she’s pregnant and was showing at a recent show in Brazil. A little Nick Cannon nugglet running around? Is the world ready for that? I can barely get through half of Love Don’t Cost a Thing, but congrats to the happy couple if they are expecting!

Call it old age or whatever, but my body hasn’t recovered from this show yet. Free food and open bar makes Likkle a dull, lifeless girl the next day. Not that I’m complaining, this was my first time seeing Clifford, Mary, Swizz Beatz, and Keri Hilson and it was pretty awesome. I don’t do the flipcam thing at shows. Why? I’m 4 feet nothing, so unless you want to see the backs of people’s heads, it’s probably better I leave it to the experts like Mikey who was there gathering footage and tweeting about making babies with good hair with Mary J. Blige, lol!

Lauryn miraculously grew Rapunzel-like braids overnight to perform in Lisbon, Portugal for the Oceanos Festival and one of the concert goers nabbed some footage of her doing one of the classics.

After endlesss months of telling us that he doesn’t have a fucking twitter, Mr. West finally locked in to the Matrix yesterday. It’s the beginning of an era, ladies and gentlemen. He’s already tweeted pics of a Versace sofa and shared the woes of flying on a ”baby ass jet.” *waits for epic Twitter rant* Anywhoo, Ye must be on some new social networking kick cause he performed some new cuts off his still untitled upcoming album at Twitter today, and gave the folks at Facebook a show yesterday. Catch the latter here.

Homesick flow this morning… I can’t locate any footage of Mr. OMG doing his thing in Montego Bay at Reggae Sumfest this weekend, but he and Breezy did share the stage at some point (that’s a lot of island panties being hurled up there). However, I have managed to get my hands on Ike Jr. and while the audio or video quality is far from the best, it’ll have to do till I get something better. Hit the jump for that.

Bobby Ray’s takeover continues. Check him out as he performs his chart banger in Wellington, New Zealand.

Canadian songbird Melanie Fiona was up early this morning to perform her retro/rock inspired single “Bang Bang” on Regis & Kelly. Nice way to kick off the day. Video via UMD

Jermaine joins his mentor on stage in the UK at the Wireless Festival 2010 to perform “A Star Is Born” and after the jump, catch him doing “Who Dat” and one of my favorites “Lights Please.” Pretty damn dope, this is his first time across the pond.

The BET Awards in a nutshell: Queen Latifah came out the imaginary closet. Kanye morphed into Moses. Diddy is still dancing. Chris Brown will shed crocodile tears for MJ. Prince has the most epic facial expressions and flawless make-up tricks. Nicki Minaj has more wigs than Kim Zolciak, and El Debarge showed us that crack don’t always kill your vocal chords. Whitney, that seems to be a you problem.

Here at Looseneck, we’re simply too lazy to do all the red carpet pics and things, so enjoy a few of the more memorable moments from the show. Props to Yardie for the videos, head over to his site to watch the rest.

Above, catch Kanye rocking a piece the size of Verne Troyer and attempting to move mountains and part the Red Sea.

Last night, all the tweets and streets were abuzz as Aubrey’s MTV documentary about the days leading up to the release of his album Thank Me Later finally premiered on the network after 45,462 previews hit the net over the course of the past two weeks.

Later, Wheelchair Jimmy was on the late night circuit performing his #1 song “Find Your Love” on Leno. Why he insists on doing this whispery, lite music version of his songs is beyond me. Whatever makes the gals (and guys, I see y’all) throw their undies to the stage…. I guess.

Leno’s performance is up top. Click here for the doc.
