<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some weeks back news broke out that Paul McCartney will be <span style="font-weight: bold;">executive</span>producing <strong>rihanna's </strong>upcoming studio <span style="font-weight: bold;">album</span>, and it turns out that was false.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">McCartney made it official that he will not be producing <strong>rihanna's </strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">album</span>, instead that spot will be taken by none other than <strong>kanye west</strong>. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's no surprise that they're doing this together, as the duo have great chemistry with their previously released hits, such as their latest one FourFiveSeconds. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">album</span> is currently in the works to be completed, and so far FourFiveSeconds is the first release from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">new</span> project. We just got to wait until they drop the second track.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't forget, there's also word that the two are joining teams for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">new</span> tour, most likely to celebrate the upcoming <span style="font-weight: bold;">album</span> coming soon. So stick around for some <span style="font-weight: bold;">new music</span>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You thought a release date for Tyga’s album would halt the issues between him and Drake? Think again.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to TMZ, someone is trying to sell a usher sex tape which usher recorded with his estranged wife Tameka Harris. This tape was apparently on one of usher's laptops that got stolen out of his car back in 2010, along with some other electronic devices. When the laptop was first stolen in 2010, someone did attempt selling it at the time but with no luck. Now it seems like that person or even a new person is trying to sell the tape again. The seller is apparently not going to adult film companies because they would never be able to get usher to agree to it, so whoever it is, is aiming at selling it to blogs.

usher's lawyer has been notified of the sex-tape being shopped around and his in the process of "Hunting down" whoever is trying to sell it.

Stay tuned as we get our hands on more information.</span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">This month's <em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">GQ </em>feature was not the first instance where Minaj shared a piece of lore from that time in her past when her financial well-being was dependent on the whims and gifts of the wine-dark sea. Indeed, it was not even the first time she shared the story of The Time Nicki Minaj Chased a Customer Out of Red Lobster For Taking a Pen. Rather, this anecdote bobs to the surface again and again, through seasons and across decades, washing ashore throughout Minaj's press tours, each time slightly different but sharing key core ideas, like the Flood Myth across Mesopotamian belief systems.</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"></span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is a story of self-reported antics that Nicki Minaj tells over and over in order to emphasize that these are exactly the types of antics one can expect from a Ms. Nicki Minaj.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In November of 2010, she told <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/951113/nicki-minaj-the-billboard-cover-story" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #e25a48; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Billboard </em></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">the pen thief was a woman.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She was fired for following a customer into the parking lot, knocking on his car window and giving him the finger.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ten years on when Nicki Minaj relays her account of the incident, it is almost always with a heady Red Lobster Signature Cocktail-style blend of amusement and chagrin, as if Nicki Minaj cannot quite believe that a person would be so bold and wantonly aggressive as Nicki Minaj.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This, perhaps, is the reason a then-19-year-old Onika Maraj chased a customer out of Red Lobster to reclaim her pen: Not to reclaim her pen, but to have a story about the time she chased a customer out of Red Lobster to reclaim her pen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But this anecdote—an anecdote in which a waitress chases you out of a Red Lobster, raps on your car window, and gives you the finger because you (perhaps unintentionally?) removed a check-signing pen from Red Lobster—is not the only indication that Nicki Minaj was a less than stellar employee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What's more, by her own admission, Minaj was never particularly enthusiastic about her time spent on the crew of the <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g47369-d4955565-Reviews-Red_Lobster-Bronx_New_York.html" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #e25a48; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">#325 restaurant out of 1,074 in the Bronx, according to Trip Advisor</a>.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the time Minaj was working at the Red Lobster on Bartow Avenue, Leno was already one of the wealthiest entertainers in America.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But perhaps Minaj abhorred those eager customers because their glassy, greedy eyes formed a mirror reflecting back her own intemperance.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">It should come as no surprise, particularly to those who are familiar with Minaj in her current career as a rapper, that Nicki Minaj no longer works at Red Lobster.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course, we all have our own reasons for wanting to work at Red Lobster.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Perhaps she simply wanted to prove to herself that she could work at Red Lobster without getting fired.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whatever the reason, it seems clear that—assuming we can extrapolate future behavior from past—Nicki Minaj will apply for employment at New York area Red Lobsters many more times before she is rendered unable by the incapacitation of old age or death.</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Therefore, Gawker must decline to provide an official endorsement of Nicki Minaj for the position of server at Red Lobster at this time.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The online retailer is going to open its first physical store for Manhattan (perhaps temporarily) ahead of the holiday shopping season. According to the publication in the Wall Street Journal from a few days ago, the largest e-commerce retailer in the United States will set up a store in Manhattan for the holiday shopping season. The journal cited anonymous sources close to the company and familiar with the matter.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Amazon didn’t comment on the issue, so it remains unclear whether the store will be permanent or open just for a holiday. According to the article, the store could act as Amazon warehouse and a showcase for inventory.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">It is known that the giant online retailer has never opened brick-and-mortar stores. However, the company has installed pick-up lockers in the largest cities. The company was seen investing huge money in the rapid fulfillment of orders. For example, Amazon added 6 new distribution centers and 15 sorting centers ahead of the holiday season. At the moment, company operates forty total distribution centers in the United States.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Despite the article in the Wall Street Journal, Seattle-based Amazon claimed that it has made no announcements about a new location in Manhattan.</span></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The company has recently outlined an aggressive content strategy for the Warner Bros. Studio, mainly aimed at increasing profits. The Studio announced a bold expansion of the industry’s broadest theatrical slate, focused on the largest and most important global franchises. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Warner Bros. Pictures is planning to release 3 LEGO-branded movies over the next 4 years. They should follow the success of the recent “The LEGO Movie”, which gathered $468 million in worldwide box office. They will start with “Ninjago” in 2016, followed by Batman in “The LEGO Batman Movie” in 2017 and the sequel, “The LEGO Movie 2,” scheduled for 2018.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">In addition, Warner Bros. Pictures will release 3 films over the next 6 years, based on best-selling author J.K. Rowling’s book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. Finally, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema are going to release a slate of at least ten films – along with stand-alone Batman and Superman movies, which expands this prized universe of characters, including “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, two parts of “Justice League”, “Aquaman”, “Cyborg” and “Green Lantern”.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Talking about the television sector, Warner Bros. Television Group is recognized as the undisputed industry leader. The company provides 32 shows to the 5 broadcast networks and an overall roster of over sixty shows among network, cable, first-run syndication and animation. Warner Bros. Television Group is going to grow its leadership in all sectors, including cable, premium platform and children programming.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The Studio’s programs include such popular entertainment series as “The Big Bang Theory” and “The Voice”, as well as “Arrow,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “The Bachelor” franchise, and many others.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">For Turner, Studio’s “Rizzoli & Isles” and “Major Crimes” remain two of the top 3 scripted series for 2014, and the most popular shows on TNT. The company also has a number of future projects at TNT, including a pilot production order for a drama about the Florida cocaine trade in the 1970s, and is in development on “Titans”, based upon the DC Comics characters.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The company’s first series of “The Leftovers” debuted this summer at HBO and has already been picked up for a second season. In addition, the Studio has also produced the pilot “Westworld” and is developing other projects at the company.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">As for Warner Bros. Animation, it is producing new series, including the upcoming “Be Cool Scooby-Doo!” and “The Tom and Jerry Show”. In the meantime, its “Teen Titans Go!” ranks as the #1 show in its timeslot.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution has recently licensed the exclusive subscription-video-on-demand rights to the successful series of “Friends” – to Netflix in the United States and Canada. Since 2015, Netflix members will be able to watch the entire 236 episode run of the series. “Friends” remain an enormous linear hit on cable and in broadcast syndication. In addition, the company also sold the off-network subscription-video-on-demand rights to the hit series “Person of Interest” to Netflix in the US. It is known that the first 3 seasons that currently air on CBS will be available in fall 2015.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The company’s management pointed out that those deals are just the latest examples of how its hit series can serve as annuities for decades beyond their initial broadcast. For example, within the last 15 years, WBTVG has produced 20 series that have reached the 100-episode milestone.</span></span>
