Lil Kim has heard Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman’s Revenge’ and she is not pleased. The former chart-topper had some fighting words for Minaj while she performed at a nightclub in Queens, New York last evening, stating that she will “erase that’s bitch’s security number”.

Kim even went so far as to say that she doesn’t even need to record a response track to ‘Revenge’ because she could “kill that bitch with my old shit”. Peep the footage below via Real Talk New York:

Chris Brown has announced that he will be releasing a followup to his ‘In My Zone’ mixtape. The singer, whose latest single, ‘Yeah 3x’, recently debuted at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 with little promotion, will drop ‘In My Zone 2’ on Black Friday (November 26th).

However, that’s not all Brown has in store for his fans. He is also set to embark on a world tour beginning in January 2011. Expect to see Brown performing shows in the UK and Australia before ending the trek in the US in Spring around the time that his new ‘F.A.M.E.’ album hits stores. Happy new year! {Source}

Amazon has released preview clips of Christina Aguilera’s soundtrack for her new movie, ‘Burlesque’. While the record also features 2 contributions from her co-star Cher, the blond belter sings 8 of the 10 included songs.

Noticeably absent from the lineup are several songs such as ‘That’s Life’ from Alan Cumming. There is no word as to whether they have been axed from the lineup or if they will only be added to versions of the soundtrack in specific territories. Check out the preview below:

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Koreen. The French singer tries her hand at Rihanna’s latest single  ‘What’s My Name’.

Check it out below:

Great performance. Interestingly, Koreen’s tone bares striking similarities to the song’s original artist. Yet, where this budding star excels (arguably above Ms. Fenty) is with the melodic means in which she delivers the song, as well the confidence and control she possesses over her voice – as evidenced by the adblibs towards the end. . The acoustic guitar was a great touch too. Good stuff.
