Drake Is A GQ Man Of The Year+Nelly Performs For Ellen & Pops Off About Not Getting Respect

Nelly made an appearance on "Ellen" yesterday.  While Drake is covering the pages of GQ mag.  We've got Drake's pic, Nelly's performance, plus Nelly's words for the media and those who don't "respect his success" over the years when you read on...

Apparently, Nelly's a little pissy about how the media and the masses have given him and his "durty's" the St. Lunatics the cold shoulder these pass years.

He told press in a recent interview, "It's a weird feeling. For some reason, people want to overlook the things I've accomplished from 1999 to now. We busted our asses, just to have people overlook it and downplay it. After so much success in the beginning, they wait for you to not succeed."

"You can't sit up there and tell us we didn't stand up together for 'Country Grammar.’ We got talent here. Don't denounce the things we accomplished."

 

Alrighty then.

 

 

Drake won the honor of one of GQ's 2010 Men of the Year.

 

He's one of the 4 covers of the 15th Men Of The Year 2010 December issue.  He's the Breakout Man of the Year.  And he's sharing cover time with actors James Franco and Jeff Bridges, plus talking head Stephen Colbert.  Issue hits stands November 23rd.

It was rumored last month that Justin Bieber would speak out against bullying after an incident at a laser tag game, and during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" airing on Wednesday (November 3), the teen pop star talked about being bullied since his meteoric rise to fame.

"Everybody goes through bullying. Everybody has, even me. On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad, I'm 16 and I don't have chest hair. I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come," he explained. "People are like, 'Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.' You just have to laugh at yourself. It's funny."

Bieber also has a message for anyone who might see bullying going on around them. "There are so many bullies. It goes on so much," he added. "I think that you should ... especially if you are a bystander, you definitely should help out because it could be you next."

DeGeneres then shifted the mood, inquiring about his dating life. "It happens," he teased. "I like to hang out with girls and date and stuff like every other 16-year-old."

Bieber recalled one recent date he had with a very famous friend of his. "It was weird. No one bothered me at all," Justin said, explaining that he recently attended a football game with Jaden and Will Smith, and Selena Gomez just happened to be there too. "We were at a high school game and [Selena] came too. It was the weirdest thing. She's sweet. She's a sweetheart."

Lady Gaga Now Subject Of College Course

Class at the University of South Carolina is called 'Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame.'

Fame is so hard to define these days. How does a star know when she's truly made it? Is it when the hosts of "Today" dress up as you for Halloween? When you reach 1 billion views on YouTube? Are multiplatinum album sales and sold-out tours still a good barometer?

Or does one only reach true icon status when a college professor decides that person is important enough to base a university-level course around?

If so, welcome to the club, Lady Gaga!

According to the New York Times, University of South Carolina sociology professor Mathieu Deflem is planning to offer a course next semester entitled "Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame."

Deflem plans to delve into what makes a person famous and what it means to be famous in today's society. "The central objective is to unravel some of the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga," Deflem states in the course description for the class, which he says is the first of its kind in the nation.

Deflem said that after being smitten with Gaga during a "Tonight" appearance last January, he attended a concert of hers in Atlanta and went on to catch 28 Gaga shows all over the globe. He's since become a superfan, collecting more than 300 CDs and records and launching the fan site gagafrontrow.net.

He's also met Mother Monster five times. Does that mean she'll swing by for a lecture sometime? "I will get the word out to her that I'm doing the course," he said when asked if he'd like her to drop in. "But it might be logistically too difficult for her to come because she will be on tour for most of the spring semester."

Gaga joins a venerable list of courses that will likely elicit a call from parents asking just what their money is going toward, including Georgetown University's "Philosophy and Star Trek," the University of California-Irvine's "The Science of Superheroes," Frostburg State University's "The Science of Harry Potter" and University of California-Berkeley's "Simpsons and Philosophy."

What do you think of a university teaching a course on Gaga? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

Shenae Grimes: "90210" House Call

Knocking out some scenes for her CW show, Shenae Grimes was spotted hard at work on the set of "90210" in Hollywood earlier today (November 16).

The Annie Wilson actress along with co-star Matt Lanter filmed a scene in which she shyly knocked on the door of a California home with Lanter there opening up to offer his greetings.

In case you missed last night?s episode of ?90210,? Annie planned to take her relationship to another level with Charlie but everyone ended up seeing her wearing lingerie.

Attempting to change topics after her embarrassing stint, Annie brought up Charlie?s mysterious scar to which he explained that it was from his abusive uncle?s belt - which understandably killed the mood with the two putting their intimacy on hold.
