Though only three weeks remain until the 11th anniversary of Aaliyah‘s death, the drama surrounding how her post-humous career should be handled appears to be at its most ferocous.

For years, rumours of a biopic and new album have swirled and swirled, with the first proper substantiation of either manifesting in rapper Drake‘s “collaboration” with the late star, ‘Enough Said’.

Following the melee of emotions the Noah Shebib track stirred up, as well as suggestion that both Drizzy and Timbaland may be involved in an album of sorts, the ‘Rock The Boat’ singer’s brother, Rashad Haughton (pictured above), has spoken up and out.

Check out what he had to say after the jump…

We can’t but raise our glasses to Pop titan Pink.

The ‘Blow Me’ singer, whose new album ‘The Truth About Love’ hits stores on September 18th, saw the LP’s campaign given a major boost today when it was announced that she is the new face of CoverGirl cosmetics.

Ellen Degeneres and Queen Latifah are some of the major names who’ve fronted the campaign previously, a fact which couldn’t make the 32 year old (real name Alecia Moore) any happier:

“Joining a group of women who have always inspired me — to laugh out loud, let my guard down, or play around with my beauty look — is such an honor. I have a lot to celebrate. I called my new album The Truth About Love, and the truth is that I have my beautiful family and baby girl, my new music and now my partnership with CoverGirl to love.”

All together now: easy, breezy, baaaad chick!

We love us some Pink.
