Watch Michael Phelps Crush Eminem's "Lose Yourself" on "Lip Sync Battle"
John Legend brought out a ringer in Stevie Wonder, but it was Olympic superstar Michael Phelps who took home the gold on Sunday night (Sept. 11) on Spike's Lip Sync Battle: All-Stars Live Championship. Wearing a black hoodie and busting out his famous mean-mug, Phelps won the first-ever all-star title with a super-focused, intense take on Eminem's iconic pump-up anthem, surrounded by a stage full of hype men and women.

The other contestants gave it their all, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Terry Crews, who shared the stage with a raft of presidential impersonators for a run through Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" in his character of President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho from Idiocracy.

Phelps was also challenged by actress Olivia Munn, who brought out Olympic gymnastic stars Aly Raisman and Simone Biles for a performance of Sia's "Cheap Thrills" and Legend and Wonder's killer take on OutKast's "Hey Ya."(watch LipSync twitter)

Gucci Mane Teases New Music With OutKast, Lil Wayne & More
Gucci Mane has long built a reputation as one of the hardest-working rappers in the game, and following his release from federal prison in late May of this year, he's gotten right back to business. In a Snapchat video posted over the weekend, Gucci claimed to have recorded verses with Lil Wayne, Project Pat, Boosie Badazz, E-40 and OutKast, all in one day.
Slight work for Guwop, perhaps, but alarm bells went off for fans at the mention of OutKast. Big Boi and Andre 3000 haven't appeared together on a record since the 2007's collaborative record "International Players Anthem (I Choose You)" with UGK, and while the ATLiens' 2014 reunion tour sparked rumors of a new release, nothing has materialized so far. Lately, however, Three Stacks has been more active than usual with guest appearances on albums from Frank Ocean and Travi$ Scott, while Big never truly faded from the scene, having release two solo albums and a collaborative project with Phantogram in recent years.
So Gucci's assertion that he did a record for OutKast (as opposed to with OutKast) seems like it could be significant; or it could just be a slip of the tongue. After all, it's possible that any of these collabs could wind up on Gucci's own upcoming project, Woptober, which will be his second full-length release since becoming a free man once again.
After featuring just Young Thug, Kanye West and Drake on his comeback LP Everybody Looking, Gucci's been getting back in the saddle in terms of doling out verses, contributing to cuts from West, Dreezy, Rae Sremmurd, Kodak Black, DJ Khaled and more in recent months. But if he can get Andre and Big Boi back on the same track again for the first time in almost a decade, it could be his greatest accomplishment to date.
But before fans get too excited, Gucci's claim was tempered by a rep for Andre 3000, who tells Billboard, "There is no OutKast album in the works."
XXL captured the snap on Instagram.

Beyonce's husband Jay-Z has been involved in putting together the music for the film and he has produced the singer's Winehouse cover with Andre 3000, according to Eonline.com.

OutKast plan triple release
OutKast have revealed they will release three albums next year.
Antwan 'Big Boi' Patton and André '3000' Benjamin will each contribute a solo album, packaged as a single double-disc offering, as a follow-up to 2003's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, as well as working on an additional collaborative effort.
While André 3000's side of the project remains unnamed, Big Boi's Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty is apparently finished, with its release halted by André's progress on his venture.
Big Boi told MTV: "He's working on his album; my album is done. We're gonna wait until the top of the year - January or February - to put it out.
"Then Dre is gonna come hit y'all, and we're gonna do the OutKast album. So y'all gonna see three records from OutKast next year."
André had some unusual advice for fans that wanted to push him to his full potential.
He said: "To be honest, I work best when people doubt me. Our whole OutKast career has been built on people doubting us.
"We wouldn't be OutKast if people didn't. Actually, if you see me, tell me I'm whack. That's the best thing you can do for me. You know, if you want a greater album, say that. Say that!" Source: Ananova

He had a bust-up with producers over his plans to do a Michael Jackson parody, claims The Sun.
The rapper had been due to come on stage dressed as Jacko in a wig and false nose, but was ordered to change the skit. He threatend to walk out but ended up going ahead with the rest of his act.
The ceremony also featured a couple of duets - Usher teamed up with Alicia Keys, while Nelly joined Pharrell Williams.
The most dramatic performances came from the Beastie Boys, who entered the stage on bicycles and skateboards, and No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani, who was lowered on to the stage on a giant clock. Source: Ananova
