The above is the latest promotional pic to surface for Mariah Carey’s much anticipated new album ‘E=MC²’. She looks kinda doll-like. I’m guessing she’s going for the overly-airbrushed look similar to the promo pics for her the ‘Emancipation’ CD.LMAO! This has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long while; I have no words. A mess.

It seems Beyonce is really legit with her acting ambitions. Following the news that she will be playing legend Etta James in ‘Cadillac Cars’, it was, today, announced that she will be starring in another film alongside Idris Elba (of ‘The Wire’ fame) called ‘Obsessed’:Steve Shill will direct a script by David Loughery. Will Packer produces, and Knowles will be exec producer along with her father, Mathew Knowles.
In “Obsessed,” Elba will play an asset manager who has a knockout wife (Knowles) and thriving career until a temp office worker (Larter) begins stalking him. {Read More}
Granted Beyonce’s acting talents often leave a lot to be desired (See: ‘Goldmember’, ‘Pink Panther’), I’m anxious to see if she can pull this off. To date, the only convincing character I’ve seen her portray well was Deena in ‘Dreamgirls’ – no guesses for why there. Still, I can’t knock her hustle.

Watching this back got me thinking; something about the ladies is quite magnetic, they have definitely come into their own. Would I be going too far by saying they may very well fill the void left by the Destiny’s Child’s and co before them? Whatever the case, the Syndrome directed video for ‘Damaged’ is set to premiere on March 11th on MTV’s TRL.

R&B songstress Fantasia has revealed that she has been tapped to star in the second movie adaptation of ‘The Color Purple’ following her stint as Celie in the Broadway version of show last year:“We haven’t started yet because I’m going to work on my album. I think it’s fair that I committed myself, and promised that after I finish going on a tour, I’ll be ready to come back and commit myself to Miss Celie again,” Fantasia explained. “I miss my music”
So impressed with her command of the role, Oprah & Co. are going to wait for Fantasia to be ready before moving ahead with the movie to musical to movie musical adaptation, the singer beamed.
“They’re going to work with me. They don’t have to [but] that’s a favor,” Fantasia said. “Working with someone like Miss Oprah who’s so talented and amazing – It’s a blessing.” {Source}
I’m definitely looking forward to this. With the original ‘The Color Purple’ movie being one of my all-time favourites, I’m anticipating what this new adaptation will be serving up – especially since it’s a musical.

According to FMBQ, Mariah Carey will be making a number of high profile appearances prior to and during the week her much anticipated ‘E=MC²’ album hits stores (due April 15th). The Grammy award winning diva is set to appear on American Idol’s ‘Idol Gives Back’ TV special on April 9th, followed by a stint as a mentor as well as a performance on the show’s April 16th airing. In addition, April 14th will see Mariah make another big appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Island Def Jam, or whoever is handling Mariah’s promo, are not playing.
R&B star Usher will no doubt have cause to celebrate this week. The singer’s new single, the Polow Da Don produced ‘Love In The Club’ has jumped a whopping 50 places claim the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. ‘Love In The Club’ is the first single to be lifted from Usher’s 5th studio album which is tentatively titled ‘Here I Stand’.

I’ve finally gotten my review copy from Island Def Jam UK (of course, I haven’t heard the album already…lol), so expect a review of ‘Discipline’ before the week’s out.
