Katy Perry roar leaks two days ahead

KatyPerry's newest pop anthem has leaked two days ahead of its slated premiere. We've already heard a snippet of "Roar" and seen its fierce artwork, but now the song has hit the Internet in full. "Roar" serves as the lead single from Perry's third studio album, "Prism," which will receive an Oct. 22 release.

"I think it's a little bit more grown up and it's really interesting," "Roar" co-writer Bonnie McKee told MTV. "I'm really excited for the world to hear it because she's just ... she's taking a new approach. And I don't want to say too much about it, but it's definitely different. It's definitely a little more mature than the 'California Gurls' of yesterday."  see more..

Chris Brown says He'll Quit Music after 'X'

ChrisBrown took to Twitter on Tuesday to tell the world that he plans to quit music after the release of "X," his upcoming LP.

The R&B singer said he's "tired of being famous for a mistake" he made when he was 18, referencing when he assaulted Rihanna.

Both Brown, who has had a string of other post-assault altercations and incidents on his rap sheet, and the music industry, which has promoted and booked Brown since shortly after the assault, have faced near constant criticism since the horrific event that took place before the 2009 Grammys.

Brown's tweets have been littered with inspirational messages as of late. "I'm not a performer nor do I have to be," he said in one tweet. "We are all children pretending to be gods!"

"Aspire to be great and the person you wanna be," he wrote in another. "Don't conform because [your] worth is more than any money or status. We live. We die."

"X," Brown's sixth studio album, is out in stores on Aug. 20. It's worth noting that plenty of other performers have claimed they were retiring before, including Jay Z, who returned in 2006 following a three-year hiatus that he later admitted was "the worst retirement in history." see more..

No Idul Fitri Bonuses in Morocco

Indonesia and Morocco both have predominately moderate Musllm populations. In a couple of days, people in both countries will celebrate Islam’s most important festival, Idul Fitri.

But is there any major difference in the way the people in the two countries celebrate Idul Fitri?

“Yes, the major difference is that not many people in Morocco will travel to their hometowns to celebrate Idul Fitri. Here in Indonesia, you see a massive exodus from towns and cities to villages,” Moroccan Ambassador to Indonesia told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

Commemorating Idul Fitri, by praying and giving alms after fasting during Ramadhan, is similar in every Islamic country, but each country has its own traditions to mark the occassion.

It is an Indonesian tradition to travel to visit family in the homevillage at Idul Fitri.

There is no such tradition in Morocco.

"We have a similar tradition. But we will certainly go to our hometowns or villages not to celebrate Idul Fitri but for Idul Adha (Islamic Day of Sacrifice) festival. We also don’t have the tradition of hosting an open house. Normally we will visit the houses of relatives on the day of Idul Fitri,” Ambassador Majdi said.

Unlike in Indonesia, Majdi said, private companies and government offices in Morocco do not pay Idul Fitri bonuses to their employees.

“For sure, they will pay festival bonuses for Idul Adha but not Idul Fitri. People have to buy new clothes for children and buy a cow or a goat for sacrifice. So they need a lot of money for Idul Adha ,” Majdi said.

Powerball giant jackpot $425 million

Americans in 43 states lined up Wednesday for a shot at a mind-blowing $425million Powerball jackpot, as lotto officials said they’re the ones feeling lucky in a year of gargantuan prizes and big profits.

A string of no-win weeks in the past year have allowed jackpots to grow to dizzying heights. The top four lottery prizes ever in the United States have come since March 2012, when the record was set with a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot. The next three top jackpots, all for Powerball, have come in the past nine months and follow that lottery’s January 2012 revamp, which changed the price of a ticket from $1 to $2.

Wednesday’s Powerball total is the fourth largest lotto jackpot ever. If someone does hit the right numbers, he or she can claim a single payment of $244 million after taxes.

And if no one walks away a winner, it is possible the next drawing on Saturday might be close to “world record territory,” said ChuckStrutt, head of the Multi-State Lottery Association.

Riley Cooper returns

Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper, who returned to practice on Tuesday after a brief stint away from the team, said that he's spoken with each of his teammates individually since a video capturing him using a derogatory racial remark went viral, asking them not to forgive him for his actions, but to judge him by his future.

"I talked to everyone individually," he said following the team's joint practice with the New England Patriots. "I told them, 'I don't want you to forgive me, because that puts the burden on you. I want it all on me.' I told them that and I told them I apologize. They could tell it was from the heart, they know I'm not that kind of person. It feels good to have support from the guys."

He added that he felt that 100 percent of his teammates were in support of him, something he sensed on the field in his return.

"It felt good to be out there with the guys and catching and running and making some plays and them coming up to you, supporting you, high-fiving you, chest-bumping you like JasonAvant did in the end zone when I had that TD," Cooper said. "It just felt good to be back out here with the guys."

The Eagles had excused Cooper on Friday and sent him for sensitivity training after video of his remark, made at a Kenny Chesney concert in June, surfaced last week.

George Duke dies at 67

Former Supremes singer Scherrie Payne confirmed Duke died at St John's hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

His latest album, DreamWeaver, was released in July, as a tribute to his wife Corine, who died from cancer a year ago.

He is survived by his sons, Rasheed and John.

"I just received the devastating and sad news that the great musician, George Duke, passed away this evening," said Payne.

"It was just one year earlier, 18 July, that his beloved wife and my friend, Corine, went to be with the Lord."

An accomplished musician across multiple genres, including jazz, funk and R&B, Duke released more than 30 solo albums, as well as producing and composing tracks for several musicians including Miles Davis, Gladys Knight and Anita Baker.

His debut album, George Duke Quartet, was released in 1966, while he was studying at the San Francisco Conservatory Of Music.

"They approached me at the break and asked me if I'd like to record an album. Needless to say, I was in a state of shock," he recalled of the offer.

Despite calling the album "the worst record" he ever made, Duke went on to work with several talented artists in the late 1960s, including the contemporary jazz violinist, Jean-Luc Ponty, with whom he recorded an album in 1969.

After meeting Zappa that same year, the pair worked together on a series of records including Chunga's Revenge, 200 Motels and Apostrophe.

During a career spanning five decades, Duke composed and produced music for film and was an accomplished music director, leading several prestigious events including the Nelson Mandela international tribute concert in London in 1989 and a tribute to French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsborough at the Montreux Music Festival.

His work has also been sampled by musicians such as Kanye West and Ice Cube and he featured on the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, Jill Scott's, third album.

Devastated by the death of his wife, Corine, in 2012, he released DreamWeaver less than a month ago as a tribute to her.

"I don't want people to get the idea that this is a morbid record, because it's more about celebration," Duke said.

Duke was due to perform with his band in Los Angeles in early September.

Tony Stewart Broken leg because of car crash

Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was hospitalized with a broken leg early Tuesday morning after crashing at a sprint car race in Iowa.

Stewart-HaasRacing spokesman Mike Arning said Stewart sustained a broken right tibia and fibula in a crash at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa,Iowa. He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance, where he underwent surgery.

Stewart will miss at least this weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at WatkinsGlen; Arning said a replacement has not been named and it's unknown how long Stewart will be out overall. A test scheduled for Tuesday at Atlanta Motor Speedway has also been canceled.

"Our foremost concern is with Tony's health and recovery," NASCAR said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. "We're in close contact with his team and they will provide further information as it becomes available."

The driver/team owner was leading the 30-lap feature of the Front Row Challenge with five laps remaining when Josh Higday's car spun on Turn 4 and collected the top three cars — Stewart, Tasker Phillips and Tony Shilling.
