Brown, whose ‘F.A.M.E’ album is set for release on March 22d, will appear as the guest performer on ‘SNL’ on the same weekend as the Grammy Awards (airing on February 13th). Expect the episode to be hosted by Katy Perry’s husband, Russell Brand.

The club destined cut serves as the 3rd release to be lifted from the aspiring singer’s 5th studio album ‘Loud’. Released in November, the Platinum certified LP looks set to outperform her past efforts (even though it consists of mainly filler).

On slow news days such as this, reaching back into the archives always yields some interesting tidbits. Case, point, example, Rihanna, Amerie, and Teairra Mari’s tribute to Destiny’s Child at the 2005 World Music Awards.

Beyond scratching my head at how 6 years have flown by so fast, it was also unbelievable to reflect on the path each of the ladies careers have taken. With Mari clearly billed as the main attraction and Amerie effortlessly making the part her own, who would have thought Rihanna and her mechanical whine would emerge as the most successful. Or have more number #1’s than the group she was tributing? Sigh.

At this point, it seems promo teams should be the ones getting Platinum plaques; for – as Rihanna’s have shown – folk will buy hot doo-doo on a platter. Just make sure it’s shined up real good.

Randomness: I miss DC3!
