Stunner Gabrielle Union stopped by the ‘Late Show With Jimmy Fallon’ last night to plug her latest movie ‘Good Deeds’.

The runway success of Bravo’s  ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has seen much of the cast try their hand other ventures. However, for Kandi Burrus the “reality” pie is one she clearly has a sweet-tooth for, as she is gearing up for the premiere of her spin-off series ‘The Kandi Factory’.

Set to debut on March 4th, the show will see the former Xscape singer give two protégés, with no music industry experience, the chance to fly to Atlanta where she will write an original song for each based on their personal experiences. Thereafter, the amateurs will be coached her team of “experts” – comprised of a producer, choreographer and stylist – to master the key elements that make a pop star.

The winner will see their song and accompanying video produced and released by The Kandi Factory.

A reach? Perhaps. However, we applaud Ms. Burrus’ hustle. More power to her.

Try as they have, the original Sugababes have had their cover blown.

Once shrewd in secrecy, their reformation has been confirmed by many a source – including Emeli Sande, who spoke to That Grape Juice recently about working with the Brit-Pop trio.

And it seems this had led the ladies to make less of an effort to conceal the comeback everyone’s waiting for. Case, point, the shot above, which saw members Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena pose it up with UK talent Wretch 32 and Daley at an industry function.

The photo follows months of public teasing on Twitter; a collective practice which frequently includes fellow “original” Siobhan Donaghy.

With the current incarnation of the Babes’ reportedly without a label or future prospects, the path seems clearer than ever for a the ladies who started it all to claim what’s theirs.

Renown R&B outfit SWV are gearing up for the release of their brand new album ‘I Missed Us’.

Set to hit stores on April 17th, CoCo and co unveiled the LP’s official album cover moments ago.

And, much like their voices, it’s clear the ladies (who first burst onto the scene 20 years ago) have aged like a fine wine.

‘Co-Sign’, the album’s first offering, is available on iTunes now!
