The Morning Mix: T-Pain To Record A Christian Album?
:: T-Pain is reportedly working on a Christian pop album. We can’t wait to hear his tasteful, faith-endorsing, God-fearing versions of “Reverse Cowgirl” and “Take Your Shirt Off.” [Hip-Hop Wired]
:: Jay-Z and Beyonce celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary this weekend. Which goes to show that not every celebrity romance ends in Nazi tattoo strippers ruining everything. [Rap-Up]
:: Diddy threw his 12-year old son Christian a three-day long birthday party in Las Vegas, which is still nothing compared to the Sweet 16 he gave his other son Justin. Can Diddy adopt us just for one day so that we can have a kick-ass b-day party, too? [Pop Eater]
:: According to Katy Perry’s t-shirt, she’s a fan of Jersey Shore. [Just Jared]
:: Who should Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez date next now that they’re broken up? Besides you, of course. [MTV Buzzworthy]

VIDEO REWIND OF THE DAY: It’s Pharrell Williams’ 37th birthday! The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. member has been featured on countelss tracks over his lengthy career (including #1 hits Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and Ludacris’ “Money Maker”), but the rapper/producer scored his biggest hit as a solo performer with his single, 2003’s “Frontin'” featuring hip-hop king Jay-Z. (Has Hova ever graced his presence with anyone who didn’t make it big in the music biz? Doubtful.) The video shows Pharrell in various states of undress at a kickin’ house party, threatening to “tear your ass up”—but you know, in a good way. It also shows a super casual Jay-Z we haven’t seen in quite awhile… either Beyoncé likes her men dressed to the nines all the time, or Jay’s fashion sense matured over time.
Check out the vid, and we hope Pharrell has a great birthday, even if the FIFA doesn’t pick N.E.R.D.’s song as the official 2010 World Cup anthem.
