PRINCESS DIANA CONCERT ANNOUNCED
A celebrity concert celebrating British royal DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES has been officially announced by her sons PRINCE WILLIAM and PRINCE HARRY. The princes, who are organising the concert, have revealed the event will go ahead next year (01JULY07) at London's Wembley Stadium - 10 years after she was killed in a car crash in Paris - on what would have been her 46th birthday. SIR ELTON JOHN, DURAN DURAN, JOSS STONE, BRYAN FERRY and PHARRELL WILLIAMS will perform at the event, with more artists to be confirmed. There will also be a memorial service on the day. Prince William says, "We (Prince Harry) both wanted to put our stamp on it. We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted. "So therefore the church service alone isn't enough. We wanted to have this big concert full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness, which I know she would have wanted." Sir Elton John, who performed his song CANDLE IN THE WIND at Diana's funeral, says, "I applaud Princes William and Harry for choosing to honour their mother with this concert. I am absolutely thrilled to be performing at this great event. "Diana was a personal friend and someone I greatly admired for her tireless and enthusiastic work for charity." The tickets will go on sale tomorrow (13DEC06) 12/12/2006 17:41

That Girl VIDEO
"That Girl"
(feat. Snoop Dogg)
[Pharrell:]
we do this in our sleep niggaz
Yessir
[Snoop:]
U eva been in love b4?
Let me holla at u mann
U know it's hard for a playa to admit that sumtimes
But I'm a spit that sumtimes
U know wat I'm sayin'
Ay p, give it to em one time, nephew
[Pharrell nd Charlie:]
There's sumthin bout this girl
From around my way
Ever try to hold back ur feelings,
But it just wouldn't stay?
But when I finally found the words to say
I wanted to run away
Simply run away
[Pharrell:]
U can try to run and hide
It wont make a difference
U can lie to urself
Of the reason
Sure it hurts wen it comes to ur attention
That ur in love with the girl
Yessir, that's her
But it wasn't like that back wen I met her
The lavish life from all the do? spun
Before the RR had the hitchhike thumb
Her friends didn't like niggaz like us but i
Arrested the coochie and her feelings got cuffed
Spiderweb sex, must'a got caught up
But there's more to it
I remember once
Sayin' let's shit on the peons
Let's go ta vegas nd watch celine dion
Make em say 'wat we on??
U say no like u was doin it for eons
Fuck it, I'll just hum and let the watch give off the neons
Wen it rains it pours
I laughs to myself wen I change the score
U said my sex was a lot but my brain gave u more
And sumn bout how ya ex was a toy
I guess he played games
There's only diamond dice here
Not tryin ta justify
But wen ya shut ya eye u can touch the sky
U in trouble ma
And u should pray about speed
But if this bout u
Wat that say about me?
[Pharrell and Charlie:]
But when I finally found the words to say
I wanted to run away
Simply run away
[Pharrell:]
U can try to run and hide
It wont make a difference
U can lie to urself
Of the reason
Sure it hurts wen it comes to ur attention
That ur in love with the girl
[Snoop:]
See I'm a crip in dark blue chucks
And I does wat I does
Yea I might say 'cuz?
It's really weird cuz a nigga got love
Snoop Dogg's a crip and the girl was a blood (what??)
She told me that her baby-daddy was a thug
Now it is wat it is and it was how it was
I'm hollin lil mama like wat
Money mo stacked tryin ta get my g's back
All these memories breed seeds of a rhythm rhyme pleaser
Laid back while we sippin on a breeza
Fresh 4-pack sittin in the freeza
Ain't that kadeeja? I heard she was a Skeeza?
She used ta hit them licks wit the Beezas
Wen I seen her wit the homies, I was like ?JESUS!?
It's been a lil min since I seen her
Hope her man don't run up cuz ill have to pull the neena
[Pharrell and Charlie:]
There's sumthin bout this girl
From around my way
Ever try to hold back ur feelings,
But it just wouldn't stay?
But when I finally found the words to say
I wanted to run away
Simply run away

U can try to run and hide
It wont make a difference
U can lie to urself
Of the reason
Sure it hurts wen it comes to ur attention
That ur in love with the girl

Pharrell Williams Has Big Plans
U.S. rapper and producer Pharrell Williams, a sci-fi fan and skateboarder, is planning to open an ice cream parlor in Manhattan next year.
In an interview with the New York Post, Williams talked about his plans, saying he considers the work he does as his way of giving back to the community. As a black skateboarder, Williams said he's presenting the media with something unconventional, thus breaking stereotypes.
This week, Williams is releasing "Team Ice Cream Vol. 1 Skate Video," which features footage of his skate team's world tour. Next, Williams told the Post, he wants to work on a book about all his custom gold jewelry.
As for the ice cream shop, Williams said he plans to open it in April.
Williams, who said he never gets the chance to skate anymore, told the Post he became interested in the sport when his dad's best friend, a surfer, got him his first skateboard

BEYONCE, PHARRELL MAY ROCK PRINCESS DIANA TRIBUTE: Artists among those considered by Princes William and Harry for July 1 concert.
*Beyonce and Pharrell Williams are rumored to be on a shortlist of artists chosen by Prince William and Prince Harry to perform at a charity concert in London next year to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of their mother, Princess Diana.
Other artists reportedly in consideration include Madonna, The Killers, Kylie Minogue, George Michael and Elton John. The concert is scheduled to take place at the new Wembley Stadium on July 1.
Pharrell and Prince William first met each other in July at The Audi Polo charity tournament. At the time, Pharrell hinted that a big charity project was in the works between the two of them. He told MTV-UK: “We had a chat and talked about some interesting things, but I can't get into it because it's business and the paperwork isn't done yet.”
In other Pharrell news, the producer is defending himself against skateboard enthusiasts who question the authenticity of his self-imposed nickname “Skateboard P.”
Apparently, t-shirts were printed last year that read: “Pharrell Can’t Skate.” Some fans of the sport also accused him of exploiting the industry to increase his street cred.
Pharrell tells the New York Post that his new moniker was meant to shine a light on the sport, not misuse it.
“I never said I was going to skate,” he says. “I can't see why anyone would ever be mad at me for helping to push the door open for everybody else. It really influenced a big part of my life, just like music did.
"I learned jazz progressions in band, and I gave entirely back to that world. I go and speak in high school, colleges - Oxford once, Harvard twice. It's not a new thing for me to give back. I just give back in every way shape and form."
