#SSU #POWERTAINMENT After more than a decade of anticipation, teasing leaked singles and more rumors surrounding Dr. Dre’s third album, news of the Doc’s mysterious masterpiece resurfaces again. According to Aftermath producer Dawaun Parker, who has creds on Eminem’s Relapse and 50 Cent’s Curtis, Dr. Dre has long parted ways with the album title Detox. In fact, the Doc has a new name in mind for the long-awaited LP. The album he’s working on is not called Detox. He scrapped ‘Detox’ a couple years ago, and came up with another,” Parker told Shots Fired podcast. “I won’t say what the title is because I haven’t seen it online or anything yet.” It looks like the Doc is continuing to keep the details surrounding his new album under wraps. Back in 2010 an incomplete version of Under Pressure, featuring Jay Z, leaked online, much to Dre’s disliking. He promised fans they would hear it when it was ready along with the rest of the album. The album, Parker said, is actually complete. Well, sort of. “I feel like one day, he’s gonna wake up and say, ‘Today’s the day and I’ll put it out.’ Because the music’s been there.” Snoop Dogg, who goes way back with Dre, all the way to The Chronic, also confirmed that the album was finished back in 2008. That record is real, it’s coming, he told Rolling Stone. Dre began working on this third album almost 15 years ago, in 2000. ------------ Katy Perry is leading the nominations for this years MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs).

That’s how many bottles — yes, *bottles* — Gerard Depardieu says he can sometimes drink. Now that is A LOT of wine! Especially for someone who has had bypass surgery. “When I’m bored, I drink,” the 65-year-old French actor tells So Film magazine (via the U.K.’s Daily Mail). “Apart from occasional compulsory moments of abstinence. After undergoing bypass surgery (five times), and also because of cholesterol and stuff, I have to be careful. Anyway, I’m not going to die. Not now. I still have energy. I can’t drink like a normal person. I can absorb 12, 13, 14 bottles…per day.” He goes on to describe his process: “In the morning, it starts at home with Champagne or red wine before 10 a.m., then again Champagne. …Then food, accompanied by two bottles of wine. In the afternoon, Champagne, beer and more pastis at around 5 p.m., to finish off the bottle. Later on, vodka and/or whiskey.” Oy. “But I’m never totally drunk, just a little (tipsy). All you need is a 10-minute nap and voilà, a slurp of rosé wine and I feel as fresh as a daisy! I have to admit that when I start counting, doctors start worrying.” Who wouldn’t?!
