Check out this behind the scenes look at the making of Lady GaGa and Beyonce‘s epic video for ‘Telephone’. For those still struggling to piece together the video’s concept, this should go some way in making all apparent.

Superstar Beyonce supported hubby Jay-Z at the Barclays Center Groundbreaking Ceremony this Thursday (March 12th) at the Atlantic Yards in New York. The rapper / businessman spoke about the arena, which will eventually serve as the home of the NBA’s New Jersey Net’s – which the 40 year old is a part owner of.

While you can check out more snaps from the event below, I couldn’t help but request a ‘caption this’ from you all for the pic above…it’s just screaming for it! LOL.

R&B royalty Mary J. Blige continues her promotional push for new album ‘Stronger With Each Tear’ here in the UK, yesterday performing ‘I Am’ on daytime show GMTV.

Awesome performance! I had to stare at Mary’s mouth the entire way through, as the vocals were that flawless that one would be forgiven for thinking she was lip-syncing. Good stuff.

Tidbit: Did anyone else find the backing singers really random?! Aside from the fact they weren’t even singing, they looked like her personal assistants or something LOL. Only in showbiz will you find backing singers that don’t actually sing!

What do you think of the performance?

Singer Chris Brown stopped by Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem in New York earlier this week. The 20 year old star was at the school  to read the book ‘Superhero School’ to third grade students. Writing on his new Twitter page, Brown said:

The school was a great experience… the kids were great. I had a great time promoting the importance of literacy

A good deed? A ploy to improve his public image? Or both? Regardless, it’s great to see this young talent pressing on, living life, and illuminating a great cause. More power to him…

With the release of Toni Braxton‘s new LP ‘Pulse’ drawing ever-nearer, the sultry songstress shot not one, but two new music videos this week. The first,  for ‘Make My Heart’ was shot on Thursday (March 11th), while the clip for ‘Hands Tied’ was shot yesterday (March 12th).

Both videos were directed by long-time Braxton collaborator Billie Woodruff,  who has been at the directorial helm of some of the mother of two’s biggest videos including ‘Unbreak My Heart’ and ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’. {Source}

Of the heard material thus far, both ‘Make My Heart’ and ‘Hands Tied’ stand as my favourites. Hence, I’m glad to see they’ve received the single treatment. One can only hope that the buzz surround the entire project begins to amp up, as it’d be a shame for what is shaping up to be Ms. Braxton’s best album is years to go unnoticed.

After it initially being confirmed that Pop sensation Alexandra Burke would be releasing ‘The Silence’, as the 3rd single from her Platinum selling debut ‘Overcome’, the singer has revealed her team have opted for another song. Speaking on Twitter, Burke said:

Ok.So maybe its time to say what the new single is going to be.. Some of you may know, and some may not. Well, I’m happy with it. Hope U r…

Its.. ‘All Night Long’ Feat Pitbull …xx

Hmm. As mentioned many a time, I’m a sucker for ‘The Silence’, as well as ‘Nothing But The Girl‘, hence would have preferred either of those. That said, I can see why the label would have opted for this – with its catchy, radio-ready nature. It must be said, though; why they’d opt for yet another feature – particularly Pitbull (sorry folks, I just don’t get the hype) is beyond me – particularly here in the UK. That is unless they’re hoping to release the song as her debut US release – which may or may not work. Time will tell…

For those who haven’t heard the track yet, check it out here.
