Cherish On The Set Of ‘Amnesia’

Our friends over at The Most Access caught up with the ladies of Cherish on the set of their new video ‘Amnesia’. Check it out:

While the song has grown on me a little more, the video looks set to be a bore. I’m also finding it hard to ignore the striking similarities between this and the clip for their single ‘Unappreciated’. Cherish’s new album ‘The Truth’ hits stores on May 3rd.

Pick Mary J. Blige’s Next Single

Mary J. BligeOn Mary J. Blige’s official website, fans have been given the chance to vote for the next single to be lifted from her ‘Growing Pains’ album. Note that it’s the third single and not the follow-up to ‘Just Fine’ – which has already been confirmed as ‘Work That’. Having dropped a solid, versatile CD, I think there’s a host of great tracks to choose from. My personal vote goes to ‘Stay Down’ – IMO the album’s standout track, with the most potential for success.

Which song do you think should be Mary’s next single?

New Song: Mary J. Blige – ‘Work That’

mjb21 New Song: Mary J. Blige   Work That With the release of Mary J. Blige’s album ‘Growing Pains’ drawing nearer, new material from the anticipated LP has surfaced. ‘Work That’ sees Blige proclaim a self-appreciation message. Though I’m feeling the song’s overall positivity, it sounds like an album-only track. I’m hoping the album has better material than this. ‘Growing Pains’ hits stores December 18th.

Hit or Miss?

Beyonce Takes A Fall…Hard

As many of you may have heard, Beyonce took a painful-looking fall during her concert, ‘The Beyonce Experience’ in Orlando, Florida yesterday (July 24th). Props when props are due; she’s a true performer to have recovered like that -as if nothing happened. First Michelle, then Kelly and now Beyonce – it was always gonna happen lol. LMAO at ‘that hurt so bad’ and ‘don’t put this on Youtube’.

What do you think of the fall?

Rumour: Chilli & Tameka Foster Confrontation

{Scan credit: Usherforever.com}
usherntouch Rumour: Chilli & Tameka Foster ConfrontationAccording to In Touch magazine, Usher’s ex, Chilli, and fiance Tameka Foster had a run-in at the singer’s mom’s house. Chilli (36), who remains good friends with Usher’s mother Jonetta Patton, is said to have infuriated Foster with her presence:

Tameka walked in and hit the roof. She screamed at Chilli, “Doesn’t your boyfriend have a mom you can visit?” Chilli just told her to grow up and walked out laughing.

Unlike most, I don’t despise Tameka – I have no real reason to – but she needs to go sit down somewhere if this is true. There ain’t nothing wrong with Chilli visiting Jonetta. With all the drama surrounding Usher and Tameka, I’m wondering how long their relationship will last…

Was Tameka right to be mad?

Mya Update

myaliberation2 Mya Update myaliberation3 Mya Update
As Mya preps the release of her much-delayed album ‘Liberation’ ( now due September 18th), new promotional pics for the CD have surfaced. She looks great.
Meanwhile, the tracklist for the album has apparently been revealed:
1.“Liberation”
2.“I Am” (featuring Charli Baltimore)
3.“Walka Not a Talka” (featuring Snoop Dogg)
4.“Still a Woman”
5.“No Touchin’”
6.“Lock U Down” (featuring Lil Wayne)
7.“Lights Go Off”
8.“Ridin’”
9.“Switch It Up”
10.“Give a Chick a Hand”
11.“All in the Name of Love”
12.“Life Is Too Short”
13.“Nothin’ at All”
For her sake, she needs to have brought her ‘A Game’ on this album, otherwise it’s over. The first single ‘Lock U Down’ tanked and some of the other material sounds sub-par. ‘Ridin’ – the confirmed next single – is a great track, however, and I’m hoping will turn things around for Mya.

Do you think Mya will bring ‘it’ on this album?

Ali & Gipp (ft. LeToya) ‘Almost Made Ya’ Video

The video for Ali & Gipp’s new single ‘Almost Made Ya’ premiered today. I’ve been liking this Jermaine Dupri-produced song for some time now and it’s great that it finally got the video treatment. Though it’s pretty standard, the video is decent and LeToya is looking on-point – as usual. Be on the lookout for new albums by both Ali & Gipp as well as LeToya in the months ahead.

What do you think of the video?

It’s Official: Usher Fires His Mother

ushermomma Its Official: Usher Fires His MotherIn the last couple of weeks, rumours have been swirling that Usher had fired his mother, Jonnetta Patton, as his manager – the role which she has held since the start of his career. The reason being due her conflict with his fiancee, Tameka Foster (38). Some even reported that she was given her marching orders on Mothers Day. In a statement made to The Associated Press yesterday, the ‘Confessions’ singer confirmed that he is no longer managed by his mother, however denied that it was as a result of any rift. Instead he claims ‘She and I are on great terms and support each other in our life’s endeavors’; he believes by separating his ‘business and personal life’ that he can have his mother strictly as his mother, ‘with no added pressure’.
It is well-known that there is a common dislike between Jonnetta and Tameka, so you just know that had something to do with this. I’m guessing there’s only room for one ‘old chick’ is Usher’s life.
