Tennis Ace Serena Williams features on the cover for the latest issue of Ebony Magazine (on newsstands now). Though I used to think she looked kinda awkward a few years back, there’s no denying that she’s looking on-point these days.
With the release of Lil’ Wayne’s highly anticipated LP ‘ Tha Carter III’ rapidly approaching (June 10th), the rapper performed a set on BET’s Blueprint in support of the record. He performed his his verse from Shawty Lo’s ‘Dey Know’, ‘Tha Block Is Hot’, ‘Leather So Soft’, as well as his #1 smash ‘Lollipop’:
It would seem Pop princess Britney Spears is set to step back into the limelight, by appearing in the music video for The Pussycat Dolls new single ‘When I Grow Up’:
The singer has apparently agreed to star in the girl group’s promo for new single ‘When I Grow Up’.
“She is doing a cameo in their new video shoot today,” a source told Metro.
Spears was spotted at Burbank, LA, the location of the group’s video shoot, yesterday. {Source}
No doubt, the world’s eyes will be on this. Should be interesting…
The Making The Band 4 clan – Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie, stopped by The Big Phat Morning Show on Baltimore’s Q92FM radio station to promote their current tour. Check out the hilarious interview below:
They all had me cracking up; Dawn’s reaction to the Aundrea pregnant comment, to the ‘Malaysian weaves’, to Donnie and Shannon still not saying a word lol. Now all they need is to be hooked up with new singles and accompanying videos ASAP.
Check out these new promotional snaps for Michelle Williams forthcoming LP ‘Unexpected’ (due August 12th via Music World/Columbia). She looks great – especially in that first pic.
The video for Solange’s new single I Decided’ just a few hours ago on BET’s Access Granted. Check out the Melina directed vid below:
Though not the best video, I’m really feeling this one for its uniqueness; the vid most definitely is unlike any other clip out at the moment and I’m loving the ‘popular culture through time’ concept. Kudos to Solange for stepping out of the industry comfort-zone/template and going left-field, the results are obviously working in her favour. Word has it, a separate video will be serviced to the European market for the Freemasons mix – ‘I Decided (Part 2)’ – which is set to be released as the official first single over here. Solange’s album ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ hits stores on August 26th.
Janet dropped by MTV’s TRL to promote her upcoming ‘Rock Witchu’ tour. Check out the vid below:
September needs to roll around quickly, as I’m real amped to see what her show will be serving up.
In other Janet news, it is being reported that she has been lined up for a collaboration on Mel B of the Spice Girl’s new solo record:
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown will duet with Janet Jackson to make sure her solo career is a success, Metro can reveal.
Speaking exclusively, she vowed to hit back in the singles chart following her first failed attempt.
Her last single ‘Today’ failed to make the UK singles top 40.
‘I not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now ten tracks in to my new record.’
‘I am doing something with Janet Jackson which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy again.’ {Source}
Not an obvious pairing. Should be interesting. {Random tidbit: Does anyone remember Mel’s ‘Tell Me’ and/or ‘Feel So Good singles? They were pretty good lol’}
In a recent interview with popular UK urban publication RWD Magazine, Usher spoke out on Chilli’s recent comments about her feelings for him:
RWD: Chilli was quoted as saying you were the one she ‘truly did love. I’m not in love with him anymore, but I can’t say I don’t love him.’ Do you think it’s appropriate for her to make these comments considering you’re married with a child?
Usher: I mean, I think it’s a little unrealistic, I’m married (laughs), I’m not a boy. It’s been three years past, you know? But we all have unrealistic goals too. Like shoot, I will always forever love Katie Holmes and Halle Berry. I don’t feel anyway about it. It does appear maybe to be a plug for something. She got a record coming or something?
Is it me or did her come across rude as hell. I personally don’t see anything wrong with what Chilli said, yet his response sounded real catty. He really needs to go sit down somewhere.
Anyway, his latest effort ‘Here I Stand’ is #1 on the Billboard charts this week, after shifting roughly 445, 000 copies of the record first week, according to Hits Daily Double
R&B star Kelly Rowland seems to be enjoying massive success everywhere apart from the US these days. Currently on a promotional trip in Australia, she she performed her smash ‘Work’ on popular TV show Rove there. Check out the performance below:
Awesome performance. It still baffles me till this day as to why the US seem to be sleeping on her? Hopefully that will change upon the release of her third solo LP, which is due early 2009.
