Toni Braxton‘s promotional train has made many a stop over the last few weeks, yet that doesn’t mean it’s run out of steam.

The singer pulled into the Bethenny show this week, where she sat down to chat about her hit new album with Babyface ‘Love, Marriage & Divorce’.

Naturally, with an artist as seasoned as Braxton, a whole host of other topics were presented including her reasons for backtracking on retirement plans, ‘Braxton Family Values’, her “caucasian” divorce, and much more.

The Grammy winner also led the audience into an impromptu performance of the iconic ‘Unbreak My Heart’ – which is quite the must-see.

All the action after the jump…

His name may pay homage to the Summer, yet August Alsina is gearing up to release his debut album this Spring.

Christened ‘Testimony’, the hotly anticipated set arrives on April 15th; hence, so as to drum up heightened buzz, the R&B bad boy has drawn the curtain back on the LP’s official cover.

Preceded by hit single ‘I Luv This’ and latest effort ‘Make It Home’, the project crowns a year of grafting for 21-year-old New Orleans native. Will it pay off? Time will tell.

If Camp Mariah Carey opts to go ahead with the star’s May 6th album release date, the only fate the LP can be sure to face is…disaster.

A little dramatic? Perhaps. However, after watching its latest first single slip and slide out of iTunes Top 400 after a week of release, her team is now faced with the mammoth task of convincing the general public to purchase the Def Jam-backed piece.

Problematic, considering the difficulty they’ve had moving all of its singles, save for the ‘Clear Channel‘- pushed ‘Beautiful.’

Now, as if its iTunes run didn’t give Universal enough cause to rethink their strategy, today has seen  ‘Mine’ make its Billboard Hot 100 debut.

Where it charted?

‘Tasty’ temptress Kelis is looking to give fans something new to taste as she serves up new music alongside a new foray into television.

Indeed, with her 6th studio album “FOOD” set to blast onto the scene on the heels of its first single and video “Jerk Ribs,” Kelis is looking to turn this reignited buzz to boil with a new show on the Cooking Channel called ‘Saucy and Sweet’.

“The show, called “Saucy and Sweet,” will premiere on the channel Feb. 26 and will feature the singer’s culinary creations — “food with attitude,”.

Her foray into TV precedes Kelis’ “FOOD” album, which is due April 21 as her first release on indie label Ninja Tune. Produced by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, the album exudes its culinary theme in the tracklist, with “Jerk Ribs” joined by “Breakfast,” “Cobbler,” “Fish Fry” and “Biscuits ‘n’ Gravy.”

“Saucy and Sweet”, which will air at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesdays exclusively on The Cooking Channel, will see the ‘Milkshake’ singer give a bit more to bring the boys to the yard.
