NO MORE RANTING - Kanye West

Kanye West promised not to say anything negative about anyone or anything for at least six months in the last stop of his Yeezus concert.

Everything I'm saying that’s not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y’all hear me talk s*** for a long time. Might be another like 6 months, at least. You’re just gonna have to run back the interviews and sh*t if you wanna hear some realness!

"I’m gonna tell y’all right now that all of the ideas, what they call the rants the streams of consciousness that I express, I told y’all, save those tapes and everything because I’ve decided to completely focus everything in 2014, on new ideas and on creative outlets. I’m not [going to] ever bring up Nike again, and the only way I’ll bring them up is in a positive light … I’ll never bring up the Grammys again in a negative light, because I actually appreciate the 21 Grammys that I did win.”

"Because I’m not [trying] to be a dude that has all the opportunities in the world and only focuses on the negative, or complains about it, or just gets in some type of zone that just having to turn up all the time and sh*t. So I’m letting you all know that this is the last Yeezus show, and this is the last time you’ll ever hear me say negative about anyone.."

We look forward to seeing him keep his promise.

I LOST STAR SEARCH IN '93 - BEYONCE

Queen Bey who is currently smashing various records with her 5th solo album shows footages in her "flawless" music video of how she and her Houston, Texas-based hip hop group Girl's Tyme weren't considered winners by the Star Search judges and losing to the rockers Skeleton Crew back in 1993.

Girl's Tyme was managed by Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles before later becoming hit group Destiny's Child. In the clip, the Star Search announcer Ed McMahon introduces them as "Beyonce, LaTavia, Nina, Nikki, Kelly and Ashley, the hip-hop rappin' Girl's Tyme!"

LaTavia Roberson and Kelly Rowland later joined Beyonce in Destiny's Child along with original member LeToya Luckett when the group formed in 1996.

Beyonce and her former group members aren't alone in losing Star Search before going on to greatness. Pop stars Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Usher, and LeAnn Rimes are just a few of the notable celebs who lost the show back in the early '90s.

Beyonce talked about her decision to include the footage in a YouTube clip explaining her fifth studio album.

"When I was in the studio, I was threading the songs together, and I thought of this performance, which was a really defining moment in my life as a child," she said of her Star Search attempt. "In my mind we would perform on Star Search, we would win, we would get a record deal, and that was my dream at the time. There's no way in the world I would have ever imagined losing as a possibility. I was only 9 years old. At that time you don't realize that you could work super hard and give everything you have and lose. It was the best message for me."

"Flawless" also features a voice over from Nigerian feminist writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who talks about the double standard for men and women today.

"Everything she said is exactly how I feel," Beyonce said of the author's work. "My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection."
