As you know, it’s not all that often you read about Britney Spears around these sides. However, there’s no denying that the premiere of her ‘comeback’ video ‘Gimme More’ is an event in itself. Made available on iTunes earlier today, I pity anyone who actually paid for this. It’s not as bad of a train wreck as I assumed it would be (see: set pics), but it isn’t good – at all. There is talk that this is only a promo video and the proper vid will debut Monday 8th October on MTV’s TRL. For her sake, I hope it’s true. Then again, the song is already a bonafide hit – currently sitting at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Digital chart (all without a video).

In other Britney news, the title of her new album been revealed. The long-awaited CD is called ‘Blackout’ and is still set to hit stores on November 13th – despite Spears’ much-publicised troubles. {Source}

What do you think of the video?

R&B star LeToya continues to work on her sophomore effort (tentatively titled ‘Lady Love’) for a Spring 2008 release. The breakout solo star was recently filmed in the studio working with renown producers The Underdogs. I’m definitely liking the track they were working on – hopefully it’ll make the CD’s final cut.

Your thoughts?

R&B breakout star Tiffany Evans’ performed her current single ‘Promise Ring’ on BET’s 106 & Park a couple of weeks back. A few shaky notes aside, she nailed it! From the choreography to the vocals to the overall energy, she was great. At just 15 years old, this girl is destined for big things; talent like this can’t (and hopefully won’t) be ignored.

What do you think of the performance?

Rihanna stopped by the David Letterman show last night to perform ‘Shut Up & Drive’. I don’t know if I’m alone in thinking this, but it seems like since ‘Umbrella’ Rihanna’s project has been all over the place. I mean, why is she still trying to promote this single when: a) it’s already semi-tanked and b) she has another single out ‘Hate That I Love You’? Anyway, the performance was the same ol’, same ol’ – nothing more, nothing less.

What do you think of the performance?

Everyone looked great, but the night evidently belonged to ‘Miss Jackson’, who at 41 doesn’t looked to have aged in the last 5 years. Flawless.

The video for the 2nd single from Keyshia Cole’s sophomore effort ‘Just Like You’ premiered on AOL yesterday (October 4th). I’ve been feeling this Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins produced track for the longest time and knew it was ready-to-go as a single when I first heard it. Keyshia definitely switched it up with the video and it’s a welcome change seeing her get her sexy on. My only (minor) gripe is the random rapper (Amina), who kinda ruins the flow of the song for me. Still, with ‘Let It Go’ still riding high on the charts, Keyshia is keeping the momentum going with this sure-fire hit.

It was a really great interview, with all of the cast coming across well. A tidbit for the Janet fans (and stans lol): it is rumored that the ‘cheating fiance’ situation she was talking about pretty much explains her broken friendship with former choreographer Tina Landon. Anyway, back to the film; it looks like it’s going to be good. Be sure to check it out when comes to a theatre near you as from next week.
