Shawty Lo Killed In Car Accident

A-list music-video director Joseph Kahn, famous for Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood," wrangled 30 stars of the past and present, each singing just a line or two before handing the baton to the next country superstar, reports Billboard.

Hit songwriters Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne collaborated to produce the track, mashing up Willie Nelson's 'On the Road Again," John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads" and Dolly Parton's 'I Will Always Love You."

"I need to address the elephant in the room," Adele told fans at Madison Square Garden. "It's the end of an era!" She went on to dedicate her entire set to the power couple, saying she is "so, so sad" about their impending divorce, reports NME. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences."

Her attorney told People Magazine, "Angelina Jolie Pitt has filed for dissolution of the marriage. This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time."

The video was directed by fashion photographer, filmmaker and longtime Gaga collaborator Ruth Hogben. They two have previously worked together on video footage for the Monster Ball and artRAVE as well as The ARTPOP Ball tours.

Eminem remembers the Oscar winner fondly saying, 'Curtis Hanson believed in me and our crazy idea to make a rap battle movie set in Detroit. He basically made me into an actor for 8 Mile. I'm lucky I got to know him," he told Billboard.

In a 2002 interview with Rolling Stone, Hanson, who won a screenwriting Oscar for L.A. Confidential and directed the psychological thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, spoke about working with Eminem.

The speculation was prompted by a video that Ballerini shared on Snapchat that previewed a new song that featured a voice which sounded much more like Swift's than Ballerini's. The brief video showed a man working on a song. 'We didn't know it, thought we could grow it / beautiful for a moment / we were roses, yeah," a woman's voice can be heard singing which some pointed out sounded like Swift.

"I just wanted to take time out to say Kid Cudi is my brother," he said Tues night (Sept. 20) during his show at the Houston Toyota Center. He added that Cudi is "the most influential rapper of the past 10 years," and ended his comments by remarking, "I hope he's doing well."

Meek's remix arrived first over the weekend. With help from fellow Philadelphia rappers Beanie Sigel and Omelly, he went after Game. "How dare you play with n�� like us?" Meek threatens on the track. He goes on to call Game a former stripper who's "barking up the wrong tree."

Initially, Game responded on Instagram, but he shared his own remix (September 20), which he renamed "Pest Control." He draws lines between east and west coast right off the bat by rapping "Welcome to the West." He also calls out Meek's illogical threats, including the pretty fantastic line, "Talkin' you gon' be in L.A. in three hours/ This a five hour flight/ Put this bum in the shower."

The beef between the two appears to be escalating with rappers like Drake and others already taking sides. Nipsey Hussle, however, is trying to be a voice of reason, saying that the two should "sit down like men" and talk things out.

The video's split narrative finds Mendes in a car quickly filling with rising water. With the car's windows shut and the doors closed, Mendes can't find a way to escape, much in the way that the girl he likes won't give him any openings to move beyond friendship.

He's stuck in both situations. The result is a powerful video driven by Mendes' emotional and taut performance. "Oh please have mercy on me/ Take it easy on my heart/ Even though you don't mean to hurt me/ You keep tearing me apart," he sings on the chorus, the vein in his neck nearly popping with strained feeling.

Chance shows up near the halfway mark riding on the hood of a car as it does circles on the rooftop of a parking garage. It doesn't matter how fast he's going, Chance exudes chill all the way. "Where all the girls with the book in the club?/ With the reading glasses on getting shook in the club/ Reading Ta-Nehisi Coates, getting spottieottiedope?" he raps in the first part of his verse.
