R&B quartet Cherish are back on the music scene with new single ‘Killa’. Set to feature on the soundtrack for dance flick ‘Step Up 2’, the track will also serve as the girl’s first single from their forthcoming album ‘The Truth’. To be honest, neither the song or video are hold my attention for long. Still, having heard some of their new material, I’m optimistic about the rest of the album.

Following the death of musician Ike Turner this week at the age of 76 (click here to read more), many have been anticipating Tina Tuner’s response to the passing of her controversial ex-husband. However, the ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ singer’s spokesperson offered the following statement on her behalf:

It’s a shame Tina didn’t offer a more direct response. As cut-throat as it may sound, Ike is – and will forever- be a part of her story, so her take on the recent events are of interest to the public.

Despite Britney Spears much-publicized personal issues, the singer has pressed ahead with the release of new single ‘Piece of Me’ – the video for which premiered today. I must say that the vid is a marked improvement over the atrocity that was the ‘Gimme More’ clip. By no means anything to scream about, the video manages to serve its purpose well.

What do you think of the video?

The official video for the rumored last single from Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’ album premiered recently. I say ‘official’, as a live performance version of the video has been floating around for a little while. Anyway, I’m kinda baffled as to why this is just surfacing now; the single was released here in the UK today. About the video: it’s a little weird…almost like a ‘In Remembrance of…’ vid. Here’s hoping life doesn’t imitate art with that one. On a brighter note, the song is great and I feel it caps off what has been an amazing year for Amy – professionally. All she needs to do is sort herself out and sky is the limit.

What do you think of the song / video?

Great movie and an even better soundtrack. ‘Joyful Joyful’ was just one of many standouts for me from the film. It’s kinda funny how after so many years the film’s impact still stands strong; I know I’m not the only one whose church choir, high-school choir etc tried their hand at this version of the song lol.

Though a fact not known by many, R&B songstress Nivea and 2007 breakout star Terius ‘The Dream’ Nash are, indeed, married and have a 2 year old daughter together Navy Talia. Mild rumors about a possible divorce have been mounting for a short while; in a statement to the press, Nivea confirmed them to be true:

I am also sorry to have to report the news of our separation. It is however a mutual decision for the both of us. We see this as an attempt to try and maintain the friendship we’ve developed since our marriage and also to allow growth for myself as well as him. Unfortunately I was not prepared for partnership or even real life for that matter. I am completely and truly grateful and thankful to God for sending him into my life and to him for everything that he has done for me and my family and that includes monetarily as well as spiritually and mentally, especially for myself, which was never his responsibility in the first place. None of you are aware of the real me and I plan to make that as clear as possible on this next album. I come from a sad and scary past that I am still in the process of overcoming and growing past, thanks to the man I love and always will. This is truly the only person I’ve ever known or heard of that is incredibly loving, passionate, wise, psychic, wise, creative, genius, and many more things that I could never put into words. I don’t feel it is fair for neither of us, especially him, to continue this never-ending battle of the minds that he and i have continued for long enough. I want nothing more than for him and I to be happy. His happiness is all i want, for I could never repay him for what he has endured by being my friend, partner, and husband.
