Drake's smiling mug graces the cover of Billboard this month, and it turns out the grin isn't just something he affected for the photo shoot. In fact, to hear Drake tell it, he's really just pretty damn happy.
"A lot of people get on and it's like they're just waiting to get more on," he tells the magazine. "They're always waiting for a bigger moment to come. But I've started to realize that this is it, this is the moment. And it reads, you know? People come up to me now and they're like, 'Man, you look good! You look like you're happy.'"
The new mood has affected his musical output as well. "There's a lot less sort of ambient ballad moments on this album where I'm searching or longing for something," the rapper says of his forthcoming album, "Nothing Was the Same." "That sentiment is gone. Now I'm just kind of like,...

Beyonce said she was "nervous" to perform Saturday at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, the house that husband Jay Z helped build and famously christened. Naturally, she had nothing to fear.
In a rollicking set spanning much of her discography, Beyonce lived up to her royal nickname, playing Queen B to an eager audience that was more than happy to indulge her in celebrating herself.
The show was chopped up by pre-filmed scenes and mini-movies, convenient yet intricate mood and tempo shifts that also allowed for the singer to cycle through her many outfits. The always regal clips most often saw the singer in the powder-faced look that accompanied the tour's announcement (a get up that's heavily influenced by Estonian singer Kerli), though the Mia-esque visuals for as of the still unreleased "Grown Woman" were a very welcome reprieve from the palace porn.

Now that Big Sean is finally famous, the Detroit Mc has his eyes set on hip-hop immortality. Kanye West once told the 24-year old spitter he was going to be the best rapper of all-time — he couldn't get a bigger endorsement.
"He actually told me that I was going to be the best. But I took that as the potential, because he speaks with so much passion," Big Sean told MTV News in New York last week. "What he meant was, I'm his protégé, he took me under his wing. I'm in the studio hanging with him and Jay-z, I'm in the studio with Nas, I'm in the studio with everybody, and it's like,...

Each week HuffPost Celebrity will be chatting with eliminated contestants from Oxygen's new show, "The Glee Project," a reality series with a 7-episode arc on the hit show "Glee" on the line. We talked with Matheus Fernandes -- the 4’9” Atlanta singer eliminated on the Duets episode -- about his audition process and all the drama with duet partner Alex.
How did you end up on the show?
I actually auditioned on MySpace and never got called back on that actually, but I heard about an open casting call and I took a bus all the way from Atlanta to Texas 22 hours to audition.
The show this week was pretty dramatic, what do you think looking back on the whole situation between you and Alex leading up to your elimination?
I love Alex, during the competition I really liked him and loved everybody there. We made up afterwards. I guess our...
