And, though recently making headlines for being on the road to recovery post-throat operation, the 44-year-old is now on the road to revamping the overdone beloved series with more installments…a whopping 32 to be exact!

As reported yesterday, famed R&B singer-songwriter R. Kelly has been tapped to create an original score for the movie’s accompanying soundtrack.

The Whitney Houston-led remake of famed 1976 musical ‘Sparkle’ is adding more star power as the weeks go by. The latest addition comes in the form of singers R. Kelly and Cee Lo Green. Reports indicate that Green has been tapped to join the cast that already features the likes of American Idol alum Jordin Sparks and comedian Mike Epps.
Kelly, who also contributed to Houston’s own latest chart-topper ‘I Look To You’, will oversee the album’s soundtrack (which is said to feature music from Sparks, Green, and the ‘I Will Always Love You’ belter herself).
With the remake relocated from Harlem to Detroit during the height of the ‘Motown’ era, fans will be pleased to know that production is set to start in coming weeks.

R&B crooner R. Kelly may be an industry veteran, yet he’s showing no signs of slowing. While visiting Chicago’s 107.5 WGCI’s The Morning Riot today, the 44 year old revealed that the title of his forthcoming album is ‘Black Panties’. The LP, he claims, is a follow-up of sorts to his classic ’12 Play’.
And while we’re sure the public will be the deciders of that, Kelly’s choice words for Trey Songz were equally as notable.

Remember Mariah Carey‘s ‘Angel Advocate’? You know, the ill-fated remix album to the chart disaster that was 2009′s ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ which never saw the light of day. Given how everything played out, Ms. Carey will no doubt be hoping all is but a distant memory. Especially with the forthcoming arrival of what is no doubt the most important album of her latter career (after 2 so-so sellers, her commercial relevancy hangs in the balance).
However, any such hopes were dealt somewhat of a blow today after the R. Kelly featured demo for ‘Betcha Gon’ Know (Remix)’ surfaced.
Is it a stone-grove hit? Take a listen after the jump…
