‘Southern Hospitality’ hitmaker Ludacris is treating fans to new guests aboard his Urban hit ‘Representin’.

As fans have fallen in love with the song’s original version featuring Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland, it looks like Luda is looking to revamp the track from a completely male perspective – calling on reinforcement in the form of fellow hitmakers R. Kelly and rapper Fabolous.

The re-up, which sees R. Kelly on the chorus as Fabolous spits over the track’s second verse, was unveiled today.  How does it stack up against the original? You tell us below:

Kelly Rowland‘s new album ‘Year Of The Woman’ may not be due until early next year, but that didn’t stop the Destiny’s Child diva from gushing about the project to Billboard.

It’s finally time…well, almost.

Kelly Rowland is gearing up for the big reveal of the video for ‘Ice’ – her still-fresh new single.

Ludacris may be blazing up Urban radio with Winter sizzler ‘Representin'(ft. Kelly Rowland)’, yet that doesn’t mean the Disturbing The Peace hitmaker hasn’t got plans for the Pop arena.

The rapper /actor  has called on Usher and David Guetta for Urban-Dance number ‘Rest Of My Life’, which serves as the first mainstream offering from his new album ‘Ludaversal’ (due early next year).

Having already collaborated with Usher on 2004 mega-hits ‘Yeah’ and ‘Lovers & Friends’, it’s the involvement of Guetta which makes for the most intriguing read on paper.

Does the union deliver on song, though? The answer awaits after the jump…

Kelly Rowland sure clocks up those air-miles.

The ‘Ice’ songstress, who has been in Australia shooting new show ‘Everybody Dance Now‘, jetted into New York this week to launch TW Steel‘s latest line of watches.

Unveiled as the luxury line’s spokesmodel last year, the 31 year old proved herself fitting for that billing after dazzling at last night’s gala at The Standard Hotel.

Now let’s just hope the video (and campaign) for ‘Ice’ arrive in a…timely manner. Why? Because the song is all sorts of blazing.

For now, peep more pics and promo video after the jump…
