With the release of Mariah Carey‘s remix LP ‘Angel’s Advocate’ drawing nearer, the diva’s label Island Def Jam have announced that the release will NOT be available in all retail outlets. Instead, the record will be released as an exclusive to retailer Target:

Mariah has completed her 13th studio album, Angels Advocate, a collection of newly remixed duets with some of her favorite artists, performing Mariah’s favorite songs from her #1 R&B album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel (released September 2009). Angels Advocate, on Island Records, will be available March 30 exclusively at Target stores nationwide, iTunes.com/target and Target.com.

Featured duet partners with Mariah on Angels Advocate include: Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, R. Kelly, The-Dream & Ludacris, T-Pain & Snoop Dogg, Akon, Trey Songz, K-Ci & Jo Jo, and OJ Da Juiceman & OutKast’s Big Boi.

Not one to toot my own horn, but many of you will remember me suggesting such a move as best for the project, factoring in the initial album’s poor performance, and the further embarrassment a full-blown release flopping would cause for ol’ Mimi. By releasing the record as a Target/iTunes only release, the project takes on a ‘for the fans’ form, being less about sales – although I doubt this is what was intended for it initially. Back to the drawing board it seems for Mariah. Sigh…

The lovely Michelle Williams made an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show earlier today. Bubbly as ever, the Destiny’s Child alumni was quizzed by the former shock-jock on everything from her role as Roxie Hart in Broadway’s ‘Chicago’, to leaving Mathew Knowles’ Music World, to her new relationship (you know Wendy got the ‘juice’!). Peep the hilarious interview above, and her performance of ‘Roxie’ (with some of the ‘Chicago’ cast) below:

While the mother of Mathew Knowles’ alleged newborn son filed papers in court today to get him to pay child support, TMZ have published what they claim is the first picture of the child (above). Can you see a resemblance?

The woman at the centre of the scandal, a former employee of Knowles named Alexandria Wright, claims she had an 18-month affair with the 59 year old, who is the father of megastar Beyonce. An alleged affair which resulted in the birth of her son, and the divorce of Mathew and wife of 29 years Tina. Despite dodging the issue publicly, Knowles has agreed to take a paternity test soon.

Regardless of whether or not the child is his (which all signs point to it being a possibility), this will no doubt come as a major embarrassment for Beyonce, Solange, Tina and the whole family. SMH…

Check out these official shots from Lady GaGa and Beyonce‘s highly anticipated video for their new single ‘Telephone’, which were released by GaGa’s team a few moments ago. Word has it we’re but a few weeks away from the clip’s première.

To say we’re anticipating this one would be an understatement, particularly in light of GaGa’s much-touted statement that she feels ‘sorry for the Bad Romance’ video – as this is that much better. Exciting stuff.

kelly danja

According to the ever reliable Kelly-Rowland.net, Grammy Award winning singer Kelly Rowland is wrapping up her as yet untitled Universal Motown debut; yet before doing so, the 28 year old has logged in studio-time with hit-maker Danja!

For those unfamiliar, Danja boasts an impressive production discography, which includes Britney’s ‘Gimme More’, Madonna’s ‘4 Minutes’, Mariah’s ‘Migrate’, Keri Hilson’s ‘Knock You Down’, and Whitney’s ‘For The Lovers’. It pretty much goes without saying that he’s as A-List as a producer will come.

———————————–

It really does seem both Kelly and her new label are going all out to ensure that this project is top-notch, and top-notch it’s appearing to be. With the industry buzzing and the production list looking ever-the-more promising, Kelly (at least on paper) seems to be on to a winner.Collaborating with Danja, more specifically, is something that has been in the works for the better part of two years, and is something Kelly discussed with That Grape Juice way back in 2008. So to see it finally materialising is awesome.

Word has it, Ms. Kelly’s LP will be hitting shelves around May times. We can not wait!

Randomness: Danja also had production credits on Danity Kane’s ‘Welcome To The Dollhouse’ (‘Pretty Boy’, ‘Striptease’, ‘Bad Girl’), which is conceptually what I’m envisioning Kelly’s project to be like (an Urban/Pop/Dance) fusion). If anything on that wavelength, we’re in for a treat!

Following the mammoth success of their ‘The E.N.D’ project, the Black Eyed Peas have gone all the way out for their new video, a 10 minute double-clip for singles ‘Imma Be’ and ‘Rock That Body’ (aptly re-titled ‘Imma Rock That Body’). Directed by Rich Lee, this Transformers-inspired vid can only be described as epic. Awesome video.

What do you think of the video?
