BLACK EYED PEAS TO OPEN MUSIC ACADEMY

This summer, the Black Eyed Peas, along with their Peapod Foundation and partnering with the philanthropic Adobe Foundation, will be opening Peapod Adobe Youth Voices Music and Multimedia Academy Number Four in New York.

(Young Hollywood) - There are currently three academies which are based in California -- the first was launched in 2008 at a Boys and Girls Club. The Academy caters to underprivileged youth from 13-19 and focuses on the promotion of social change using music. Accredited media makers and performers lead classes that teach the fundamental skills needed in order to be successful in the industry, including field trips and working hands-on with professional equipment.

No doubt, the major success that the Black Eyed Peas have accumulated over the years is a direct reflection of how heavily the group has influenced not only music but aspiring music lovers as well, and their desire to give back to the community at the level they do reinforces just how great they are. Will.i.am says, "Our passion for music and media was fueled by many generous people on our road to success... Expanding the network of Peapod Adobe Youth Voices academies enables us to pay it forward, giving more youth the skills and encouragement they need to realize their dreams."

Admission into the academy in based on teacher recommendations and their level of interest in graphic design, camera work, editing, and other skills.  The New York facility opens in July.

BLACK EYED PEAS CREATE T-SHIRT FOR CHARITY

Black Eyed Peas have created a special t-shirt to raise money for disadvantaged children across the world.

The group, fronted by will.i.am and Fergie, has designed a limited edition garment which will be sold in aid of their Peapod Foundation, which helps provide education, shelter and healthcare for youngsters.

The t-shirts are being made in conjunction with clothing retailer Aeropostale and every fan who buys one will be entered into a competition to win a trip to meet the band at an upcoming concert.

Black Eyed Peas star Apl.de.ap., says, "We are thrilled to partner with Aeropostale in raising awareness and funds for our Peapod Foundation.

The Peapod Foundation provides tools and mentors encouraging children to express themselves through music and art." (SOURCE)

BLACK EYED PEAS ON AMERICAN IDOL

Now, Im a Black Eyed Peas fan - even though Will I Am has annoyed me where Michael Jackson is concerned but Ive decided to remain a fan and only focus on the music. I have to say "The Beginning" is waaaay below standards  - too much techno and too much synthesizer for my liking. I have always praised the fact that they do in fact mostly sing when they are on stage and dont usually use playback and lipsync.
Last night BEP was one of the musical guests along with Lee Dewyze, who is last seasons winner on the show. I must say - Lee blew the Peas OUT OF THE WATER!!! I, personally - thought their performance was the worst I have ever seen from them...EVER!

First off - Fergie (and I LOVE Fergie)...WTF? She sounded like a cat in a microwave and what the hell was with the green nails and RED (and not a nice red either) lipstick....? The heels she had on were 8 inches high easy and it always pisses me off when people can not only walk but also dance in shoes that high cause I surly can NOT! In my opinion, and this is only what I feel, that dress was very sweet and was cute on her but the shoes were stripper-esque and not a compliment to the dress. Can you say HOT MESS??!? PS - the earrings matched NOTHING!!
Will Iam - It sounded like you were singing into a childs play microphone, you know the ones that make your voice sound funny and by funny I mean ROTFLMFAO type funny.
Taboo sounded great!!
Then to dedicate THAT song to Japan? Really..?? Of all the songs you could pick for "Dedication" you pick that one...I dont get it.

NEW VIDEO - BLACK EYED PEAS "JUST CANT GET ENOUGH"

The latest single off "The Beginning" - "Just cant Get Enough" video has been released, “It was the easiest video I ever shot because it was us living our lives,” explains Fergie of the Ben Mor-directed visuals. “I love that it’s showing a true perspective of how it can sometimes be lonely on the road away from our loved ones. It also demonstrates the love and connection we have with Japan. Our hearts go out to all of the Japanese people who have been affected by this natural disaster.”


Check Out The Video Below, Watch For The Message To the People Of Japan mid-video ~

BLACK EYED PEAS DEDICATE VIDEO CLIP TO JAPAN

A week before the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap, and Taboo were in Tokyo to shoot the video for their new single “Just Can’t Get Enough,” and have dedicated the clip to the people of the country.

To show their support for those afflicted by the natural disaster, the group included a special message at the beginning of the video, reports CNN. “This video was filmed in Japan one week before the earthquake. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We love you,” reads the text, while providing viewers with a link to donate to the Red Cross.


Will.i.am previously tweeted his concern for his Japanese friends. “I’m worried about my friends from smap smap, verbal, kage son, and all my friends I care about . I can’t reach any of them in japan,” he wrote.


The foursome will perform “Just Can’t Get Enough” this Thursday on “American Idol,” while the video is set to debut sometime this week.

MILEY CYRUS ON SNL!

Teen star Miley Cyrus hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the first time on Saturday, opening the show with "I'm Sorry I'm Not Perfect," a song that referenced several of her highly publicized missteps, and making various appearances as Lindsay Lohan,Fergie and herself.

Unsurprisingly, Cyrus's most talked-about performance was her impression of Justin Bieber in the episode's "The Miley Cyrus Show" skit, where she proved she's not above poking fun at herself by sitting down for an interview with "SNL's" resident Cyrus impersonator Vanessa Bayer.

In the skit, Bayer as Cyrus interviews Cyrus herself, who does a spot-on impression of Bieber, complete with winks, points and hair flips. 

"Did you know I smoked salvia?" Bayer asks.

"Well, there's no reason that you wouldn't," Cyrus replies, shooting the camera a meaningful look. "Because it's totally legal, yo!"

Cyrus later joins in on the skit's closing segment, in which she dances and sings with Bayer and Jason Sudeikis, who plays Billy Ray Cyrus.

USHER & BEP TEAM UP FOR SUPER BOWL HALFTIME PERFORMANCE!!

The Black Eyed Peas are pulling out all the stops for this Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV. The AP reports that Usher and former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash will join the supergroup as surprise guests during their halftime performance.


Ursh and Slash have previously collaborated with the Peas. The R&B singer linked up with will.i.am for the international smash “OMG,” while the guitarist has performed with Fergie, Taboo, will, and apl.de.ap during their recent tour and laid down the track “Beautiful Dangerous” with Fergie Ferg.


“This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done,” tweeted will.i.am, currently in Dallas rehearsing for the big game. “Butterflys in my stomach…I feel like I’m in a dream…(We are playing the super bowl!!!).”


Details are mum on what the foursome will actually perform during the show, but will.i.am has revealed that they’ll tone it down by cutting some of their raunchier hits from the megamix. “We’re not playing ['My Humps']. It’s a club song,” he told The New York Times. “It’s like when I get around my mom, all my cuss words are deleted from my vocabulary. Automatically, they just leave. Super Bowl, yes, the words are not going to exist in my vocabulary.”
