With ‘Exclusive’ having hit stores last week, R&B star Chris Brown is hitting the promotional trail in support of the CD. The 18 year old star stopped by BET’s 106 & Park earlier last week for an interview and to perform current single ‘Kiss Kiss’ along with T-Pain. You can check out their performance below:

Another day, another Beyonce endorsement; the R&B superstar’s latest foray into the advertising market is for cable company DirecTV. Don’t get me wrong, I like her just as much as the next person, but this is bordering on overkill. What’s next? I mean, she’s already had her name slapped on almost everything saleable. I must say that the whole play on the ‘Upgrade U’ concept was pretty good, though.

Beyonce & Ads: Overkill or not?

As soulful songstress Tweet preps the release of her third studio album ‘Love, Tweet’ (her first for new label Umbrella Recordings), a 9-track sampler of the CD has surfaced. Having listened through it, the album sounds like it’s going to be solid – very vintage Tweet. ‘Love, Tweet’ is set to hit stores early 2008.

R&B songstress Alicia Keys performed her new single ‘Like You’ll Never See Me Again’ recently for Power 105.1. Great stuff. Alicia’s third studio album ‘As I Am’ drops next week (November 13th), and in light of the success of ‘No One’ and the buzz of this single, she’s set to debut with big numbers.

The second single to be lifted from J.Holiday’s debut album ‘Back of My Lac’ premiered today on BET’s 106 & Park countdown. In my opinion, the video couldn’t have come at a better time – I was beginning to get tired of ‘Bed’. Anyway, I’m really liking both the single and the vid. J’s debut, for me, is one of this year’s better music offerings.

After weeks of speculation, Rihanna has admitted to being in a relationship with Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett. The 19 year old singer, who is 10 years younger than Hartnett, had the following to say:

“I’ve fallen for him (Hartnett) big time. I would be lying if I (said) we were not more than just friends.

“He is so hot and he is really sweet to me. When we hang out it feels right – even though it’s still pretty new.”

The video for Jay-Z’s new single ‘Roc Boys’, the second to be lifted from his ‘American Gangster’ album, premiered recently. Directed by Chris Robinson, the video is a star-studded affair, with cameos made by, among others, Diddy, Mariah Carey, Nas, Swizz Beatz and Cassie. As much as I had my doubts, I can’t deny that Jay really brought his ‘A-Game’ with this project; the song/video, as well as the whole album are on-point.
