You have to do it all these days, and Trey Songz is a ferocious overachiever: rapper, producer, singer-songwriter, and actor—and he makes it all look easy. On the eve of the drop of his new record, Chapter 5, and the launch of his Anticipation 2our, the 27-year-old phenom speaks with another beautiful mind: model Selita Ebanks in her very first outing as interviewer.

Heavy romantic and Young Money hip-hop prince Drake has a thing for women on the road. Many of his songs detail his remorseful forays into hard-partying and anonymous encounters in the wake of his relatively intimate close-knit coming-of-age in Toronto, but that won’t stop him from checking out all the girls who come out to see him on his Club Paradise Tour, which kicks off, aptly, on Valentine’s Day.

For the occasion, Drizzy has posted the below video, featuring a voluptuous girl “practicing” her moves for Drake, set to the tune of the same title from his critically-hailed (and all around critical to own) album, Take Care. Fly girls who want to start practicing their moves for Drake are encouraged to submit their video clips to practicevideos12@gmail.com.

BROADWAY BREAKOUT JEREMY JORDAN BRINGS HIS PERFECT TIMING TO THE BIG SCREEN

t’s been said that in the entertainment industry, timing is everything. Jeremy Jordan, the Broadway sensation-turned-movie heartthrob, will attest to that. Todd Graff, director of Joyful Noise, a musical comedy that sees Jordan costarring with Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah, stumbled upon the actor when he saw him in Rock of Ages on Broadway. “But I was just the understudy filling in for the lead, who was sick,” Jordan remembers. “And it was my very first performance.”

Graff had just completed his script when he saw the play and instantly visualized the character he just wrote as Jordan. They met, had a reading, didn’t talk for a year, and then, “before I knew it I was on a plane to L.A. to star in my first major film. Yeah, I guess it has a lot to do with timing,” Jordan deadpans. “And I must not have done too horribly in my audition.”
