Chrisette Pulls A Britney

R&B Singer Chrisette Michelle is the latest to shave her head. After a recent show at Albany State University, she explained her decision to chop it all off:

“I was tired of black sista’s feeling subject to having their hair pressed and straightened, and damaged, with relaxers, and heat. So I wanted to make short and nappy hair fashionable, and let the industry know that there is nothing wrong with the texture that we have been born with. So I plan to grow it out to the big beautiful nappy hair that I have.”

Really Mary???

I'm not gonna even say a word...

Trey Covers VIBE

Trey Songz features on the cover of the latest issue of VIBE magazine. As ever, the ‘Say Ahh’ singer is selling his sex-appeal and not much else. In any case, whatever works… But I can't lie to you he has accomplish a lot in the past few years. Seems as tho someone's downfall was the best thing to happen to him.
My favorite song, "Say Auh" (not of all his songs tho)

Check out his MTV Spring Break performance of that...

Monica Sale Wrap Up

Monica has earned the second-highest first week sales of her career with her "Still Standing". She sold 183,766 copies in its first week, landing at #2 on the Billboard 200. Justin Biber’s new LP "My World 2.0" took the top spot like I said it would.

Congratulations are no doubt in order for Monica. Her highest first week sales to-date come courtesy of 2003’s ‘After The Storm’; yet, in light of the current industry climate, one has every ground to say this record is arguably more successful. Unlike 7 years ago, folk simply do not buy music in the way they once did. Hence, not only is this a victory for Monica, it’s a victory for quality music!

Monica beat Rihanna, Keri Hilson, and even Mariah Carey in sales her first week.

Rihanna Readys New Single Again

Rihanna and her team have been having some difficulty choosing the next single from her "Rated R" album. First the word I received is they were going with "Photographs" for the next last single. That was on top of the fact that they leaked the news that there would be no more singles from the album and another (album)was in the works.

Ain't Gaga coming out with a Latin flavored song for her next single???
Other than the fact that she came out with this song over a year ago and then put it on her new album and didn't even bother to change it up some...

.

Kelly's Team Begs

Kelly Rowland’s label Universal Motown seems to be begging pulling out all the stops for the video for "Commander" her next lead single.
As well as pumping very little their own funds into the video, the label are seeking out top brands to feature their products in the clip.

KELLY ROWLAND is seeking a new partner for her latest music video – the singer’s reps have sent out mass emails urging big brands to appear in the promo.

The former Destiny’s Child star is following the record industry’s latest craze of teaming up with famous companies to cover the cost of music videos.

Her reps at Universal Motown are on the hunt for marketing executives to pay for their products to appear in the promo for the debut single from Rowland’s new record – her first since parting ways with ex-manager Mathew Knowles and former label Columbia Records.

The email reads, “We are currently seeking brands who want to partner with us for the upcoming (Grammy-winning, platinum-selling) Kelly Rowland music video for the first single off of (sic) her new album.

“We are primed for an outstanding project. This will be a video that is serviced around the world.”

Seems pretty tacky to beg via the net for this. Artist do it all the time, just not so publicly while in the planning stages of it all...

Keri Is A Mess Lately

Keri Hilson making an ass of herself lately had quite the embarrassing episode last night at the LA Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks game. While performing the US National Anthem Hilson blanked out, forgetting the words to the iconic song in front of the thousands in attendance. Karma???



After suffering an embarrassing episode earlier this week, she tried her hand at the US National Anthem again yesterday (April 4th) at the Yanks vs Red Sox game in Boston. Fortunately for Hilson, she didn’t forget the words this go round. wack...



I'm also hearing she called her Mom a bitch on twitter of course. Some hater called Keri's mom a bitch on twitter and instead of her ignoring them she said this:

 Even if that's how you really feel, you don't air that news publicly. She is really showing herself to not be such a classy lady as she claims to be...regardless of what the "whole" Tweet was, this is exactly why stars shouldn't be on twitter popin off at the mouth...HOW MANY FANS DO YOU THINK SHE LOST???

unHollywood if you ask me...

"Papers" Written Before Tameeka

In a somewhat unbelievable turn of events, Usher has revealed that his recent song ‘Papers’ was actually written before the end of his marriage. The R&B singer shared the information about the buzz single for his new album, ‘Raymond vs Raymond’, in an interview with MTV News earlier today. ‘Papers’, which peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B chart, seemed to be taking jabs at his now ex-wife, Tameka Foster, and quickly gained radio play for its controversial lyrics.

Janet News

Tyler Perry’s "Why Did I Get Married Too?" has grossed $30,150,000 – besting the first film’s debut box office sum by more than $10 million. Originally set for the top spot, the movie debuted at #2 behind ‘Clash of the Titans’, which rocketed to #1 after grossing a whopping $61,400,000 during the same period.

Janet Jackson’s visit to the Oprah Winfrey Show aired a few hours ago. Though the singer, 43, was there to promote new movie ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’ - along with Tyler Perry, she opened up a lot when questioned about the passing of her brother, Michael, last year. Indeed, Jackson candidly spoke about where she was when she heard the news, the family’s attempted intervention, how they knew he had a problem, Dr Murray, fondest memories of MJ, and a whole lot more.  








As you can see I'm playing ketchup...

And Here Is "Nothing" From the Movie's Soundtrack...not at all Hollywood in anyway, but I'll give her a pass. what did that cost $47 to make???





Janet Jackson will be headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 2nd. The billing will be Jackson’s first fully-fledged concert since her ‘Rock Witchu’ tour stop in New York’s Madison Square Garden back in 2008.

Christina Aguilera "Not Myself Tonight" And Her Promo Pics

Christina Aguilera debuted her new song, "Not Myself Tonight" on "I-Heart Radio". The track is the first single from her upcoming "Bionic" album. The album hits stores on June 8th.
Oh God how I hate it. It's hard to explain but it's like one of those songs you rather start a good conversation with someone in the club and let the track be background music. I told you it's hard to explain. I don't like it and she can do much betta than this...uhhh...

Oh and I got my hands on her new promo pictures...

Ciara News

Ciara is gearing up to take the radio airwaves by storm with her new Ludacris assisted track, "Ride", another song from the entertainer has surfaced. Similar to "Ride", "Speechless" was written and produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. Ciara’s yet-untitled LP hits stores hits stores later this year.



While by no means a Ciara fan I'm kinda feelin the track itself and if done by some young lady that can sing and bring the song to life that would be real Hollywood. Be that as it may, it's still Hollywood. Not feeling that fact that The Dream sounds like R Kelly tho...

They were also spotted at the Hawks vs Pistons game in Atlanta. Cute shoes Ci, they are the new Mickey Mouse themed kicks and are apart of Adidas’ latest ‘Originals’ range – which the 24 year old is the spokes-model for.
Her team really do not appear to be playing with her forthcoming album. A previously reported, the singer shot the video for the album's lead single "Ride"; The Tricky Stewart/The-Dream crafted track features Ludacris and serves as the first single from her upcoming album.


And Here Is Behind The Scenes Footage of The Video...

No New Album For Janet Anytime Soon

Despite enjoying the limelight from both projects, Janet Jackson has revealed to Rolling Stone that she has not taken things a step further by recording a new studio album or even signing to a new label. Read what the diva had to say below:

“There was a time where I was actually in the studio and I was recording, but I’m not working on an album,” she says. “There have been a lot of record labels that have asked me to sit down and talk with them, but I don’t know if I want to do something completely independent, or go with a major.” Discipline was Jackson’s first disc on Def Jam after she left her longtime label Virgin.

So what about the new songs? “Nothing” is a one-off she co-wrote and co-produced with Jermaine Dupri for the new Tyler Perry film Why Did I Get Married Too?, and the lyrics reflect the tensions and turmoil between characters, like Angela’s trust issues with Marcus (”You can even have the password to my phone”), as well as her own character Patricia’s guilt and regret over Gavin (”We should cherish every moment like it’s the last”). As for the second song, Jackson said she did it as a favor for Rodney Jerkins, for “fun.”

When Jackson does return to the studio, she’s not sure whether she’ll work toward a classic pop album (as “Nothing” might indicate) or do something more dance club-oriented (like “Heartbeat Love”): “I haven’t decided on exactly where I want to go or what I want to do.”

Here’s the first pic released from the set of Janet Jackson’s “Nothing” video set. The song is for the Why Did I Get Married 2? soundtrack and is produced by her ex Jermaine Dupri.

Lady GaGa Readys ‘Alejandro’

Lady GaGa is gearing up to shoot the clip for its follow-up "Alejandro". Speaking recently to Australian radio station Nova 96.9 FM, the 23 year old Pop phenomenon coyly shared a few tidbits on the video, which is said will be directed by Steven Klein:

“I’m so excited about the ‘Alejandro’ video,” she told the station. “Actually, we’re shooting it very soon and I don’t want to say who the director is yet because it’s going to give a lot away.”

When asked if she could reveal anything more, it was evident that she intends on keeping the music video’s concept secret.

“Are you absolutely mad? I would never, ever tell you!” she laughed. “I would be more likely to lie through my teeth to you what the video’s about so that you could all be surprised. But I will tell you it’s not the sequel to the ‘Telephone’ video.”

Hollywood Wait Wait...well actually I can...



In Other Gaga News...


Pop superstar Lady Gaga has responded to a lawsuit a former producer of hers (named Rob Fusari) filed against her last week. Gaga, who goes by Stefani Germanotta when the courts are involved, claims that he broke the law by tricking her into signing an illegal contract. Her lawsuit states that the contract between her and Fusari isn’t legit because Fusari wasn’t a licensed talent agent. Lady Gaga and her lawyers want Fusari’s suit thrown out and they want him to pay damages for trying to take advantage of an “inexperienced performing artist.”

Fusari made Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, “enter into an unlawful arrangement” when he made her sign a contract giving him rights to her future earnings, the suit says, calling his actions “predatory and financially abusive.” “The … arrangement was structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose – to provide the defendant unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents,” the suit says.

Germanotta and Fusari met in March 2006 when he was looking for a female rocker with “garage band chops,” according to his lawsuit. The producer, who worked with Destiny’s Child on “Bootylicious,” says he persuaded Germanotta to add dance beats to her music and call herself Lady Gaga. Fusari’s lawyer, Robert Meloni, called the claim “ludicrous” when he read the suit. “Rob was no more of an ‘agent’ for her than she is a Roman Catholic nun,” Meloni said.

Usher’s "Lil’ Freak" Video

Usher’s latest single ‘Lil’ Freak (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ premiered a few moments ago. Check out the TAJ-directed clip. Cameos by Ciara and Jamie Foxx
Here’s how she explained the concept to MTV

The Young Money femcee described the premise as being similar to the “Saw” movies. “It felt just like one of the sequels to ‘Saw,’ ” she said. In those flicks, the main character, rather than punishing them with death, gives his victims a number of challenges.

Ahhh 50!!!

Oh great, 50 cent has an opinion and is speaking out publicly. Just what we need. According to “MTV UK” he had the following to say...

“I would marry Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rihanna in Africa, I’d have 3 wives! And I would avoid wearing condoms and have really big families!” the rapper said.
And on the subject of GaGa and Beyoncé he got very vocal about what he saw as a double standard about sexual imagery in videos saying, “I think it’s hot [the Telephone video]. But there’s a shot in the video in the diner that’s just breasts. And it looks great, but if I shot the same shot in my music video, they would make me edit that immediately.”
He added “Even if I had someone who was recognizable female talent that was part of the project, they wouldn’t allow that to go. They would think it was you taking advantage of a girl for marketing purposes or whatever.”

When asked why he thought that was he replied, “It’s their personal perception of your intentions of how you utilize it. Like ‘it’s Britney bitch’ nobody has a problem with that. But if I say ‘it’s Fifty bitch’ everyone’s like oh my god! You got to edit that.”

Crazy and pretty unHollywood if you ask me. And wasn't he the one that DID'T kiss Beyonce when he had the chance???

Diggy Signs With Atlantic

Rev Runs son Diggy Simmons has inked a deal with Atlantic Records today, a day after his 15th Birthday. That’s Big.

He released a mixtape titled “First Flight” a few months ago, followed by a remix to Drake’s “Over” and eventually dropped “Flo Stoopid” which gave him the buzz he needed to generate interests from the labels.
Haterz took to Twitter to diss the hell out of Diggy’s older brother JoJo Simmons who has been rapping for a while, but has been nowhere near close to locking down a deal with any major labels like his little bro And when JoJo and Diggy’s older sister Angela Simmons cauthw ind of this, she decided to throw in her two cents.


And since all the chatter, JoJo and Diggy’s sister, Angela Simmons decided to address all the joking and hoopla as well as her current relationship status via UStream:

“People need to stop trying to create a competition between my siblings. Trust me if one of us make it we are all happy. Haters out there have nothing better to do with their life than talk about someone else’s, instead criticizing our life, why don’t you try to get your own.”
