A spokesperson for SEAN COMBS has denied claims his pop girl group DANITY KANE is on the verge of a split to make way for the solo career of one of its members.
Combs has reportedly planned the break-out of 23-year-old Dawn Richard, causing tensions in the five-girl group.A posting on a popular music website claims the hip-hop mogul “has been flying Dawn out from Baltimore to him for private meetings. And these meetings are preparing her to be the breakout star in a solo career. Apparently, Diddy believes she’s the most talented of the group, and the girls are pissy because they disagree.”
But Combs’ Atlantic Records spokeswoman Cara Donatto has denied the rumours, insisting the girls “absolutely” get along.
She says: “At no point was Dawn flown anywhere to record solo or meet alone with Diddy. The girls are still very much together. They’re going out to the (MTV) Video Music Awards together… and they’re promoting their album Welcome to the Dollhouse and working on their third.”
Great to hear all is supposedly well ‘in-house’, but a third album already? I mean that has to be some kind of joke, right? ‘Making The Band’ aside, the promotion for their current effort ‘Welcome To The Dollhouse’ has been far from satisfactory – lengthy gaps between singles…poor single choice(s) (I vote ‘no’ for ‘Bad Girl’) etc. Whoever is running the show in their camp needs to get it together ASAP, as this is quickly descending into one shambles of a situation. SMH…
Speaking from his home in California, Michael talked with Good Morning America yesterday about his big day, reminisced on his storied career as well as future plans:
On his plans for his big day:
“Just have a little cake with my children and we’ll probably watch some cartoons — before getting right back to work.
Oh boy, that’s a hard one,” he said, before singling out “We Are the World,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller.”
But Jackson was not content to rest on his laurels, saying, “I am still looking forward to doing a lot of great things.”
He hopes to release new music and tour, though he doesn’t have dates set.
“I am writing all the time,” he said. “I love composing and the whole thing. But I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read. I love it.”
Asked if he’d like his two sons and daughter to have the same sort of upbringing as him, he said he’d prefer to let them “enjoy their childhood as much as possible.”
“I let them go to the arcade and go to the movies and do things,” he said. “I want them to get to do the kind of things I didn’t get to do. So, I fill them with a lot of enjoyment that way — a lot of amusement. You know?
“I get pretty emotional when I see them having a wonderful time,” he added, “when they are on a ride and they are screaming and they are happy. … It makes me emotional, ’cause I see they are having a real good time.”
Jackson said his kids “love music … they are very much into the arts,” but that, “I don’t push them.”
Happy Birthday, Mike!

The Knowles ladies (Beyonce, Tina & Solange) stopped by The Early Show today to promote Solange’s ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ LP. A pretty interesting watch, I must say. Peep the performance of ‘I Decided’ below too:

R&B star Kelly Rowland really is doing her thing over here in Europe. Peep her new commercial for Nike’s Human Race – the world’s biggest one-day running event – which takes place in many cities across the world simultaneously on August 31st. Rowland will also be performing at the Paris event.
Watches again: She was getting it!

Decent performances, I guess. Randomness, I know, but Ashanti’s dancers were getting it during ‘Good Good’…lol.

T.I. establishes the mark for biggest jump to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as “Whatever You Like” soars 71-1 in its third week on the list.
A No. 1 opening on Hot Digital Songs with debut-week sales of 205,000 downloads is the cause for the record-setting Hot 100 move, which surpasses the 64-1 jump taken by Maroon 5’s “Makes Me Wonder” in May 2007.
“Like” is the rapper’s first No. 1 as a lead artist (he was featured on Justin Timberlake’s 2006 chart-topper, “My Love”) and his opening-week digital sum is the best by a rap track since Nielsen SoundScan began compiling download data in 2003. {Source}
Conratualtions to ol’ Clifford. Having released a bevy of more deserving singles, though, I would have preferred the likes of ‘Bring Em’ Out’ and ‘What You Know’ to have achieved the same success. Anyway, enough of my lil’ rant…a #1 is a #1. More power to him…
Teairra took offense to some comments Rihanna made to Atlanta’s Peach magazine regarding her dismissal from the Roc. Rihanna said, “You have to be good to people. I could very easily say its all karma…”
“They asked her how she felt playing second fiddle to me, which I never felt [she was]. She had the number-one song in the country on Hot 100; I didn’t, so she couldn’t be playing second fiddle to me. When I heard that I was upset, like, ‘Why would she ever go there? Keep my name out your mouth, sweetie.” {Source}
Ouch. I can’t say I disagree with her…
