It looks like Jennifer Lopez is intent on not letting her new film, ‘The Backup Plan’, bomb like her recent musical ventures. The entertainer, whose ‘Louboutins’ single failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 despite intense  promotion, visited ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ recently to plug the film which premieres on April 23rd. Check out the interview below:

Chris Brown continues to grind on the comeback trail, today serving up the video for ‘Holla At Me‘, featuring Young Money star Tyga. The song is lifted from the pair’s new collaborative mixtape ‘Fan of a Fan’. Check out the Alex Nazari directed clip above…

As much as we appreciate Chris’ talent, that was trash. Needless to say, rapping certainly ain’t his forte.

What’s more, I’m not quite sure why he’s pushing these mixtapes as of late either. I mean there are more worthwhile ways to keep his name out there (as an R&B/Pop artist).

On a more positive note, we have received reliable word that Chris is currently working on the follow-up to his last studio album ‘Graffiti’, with a ‘late 2010’ release window currently pencilled-in. What would you like to see Chris do with this next album?

Despite the epic flop that was their ‘Sweet 7’ LP, the Sugababes have returned to the studio to begin work on their next studio album. Speaking to NOW Magazine, the ladies manager, Mark Hargreaves, revealed the news, adding:

“They’re a very happy group today. They can’t wait to get back into the studio and bring back that feel good factor.”

Assuring fans that things are on the up for the group, Hargreaves also confirmed that the ‘Babe’s 2008 hit ‘Girls’ will be re-recorded to include new member Jade Ewen’s vocals. The revamped version will be used for a US advertising campaign by department store JC Penney.

PR spin at its best, ay? Unfortunately, it’s likely to be in vein. After all, with a tainted reputation and abysmal sales, the public have spoken loud and clear on their take on what’s left of the group. How this same public are supposed to be enthused or lap-up news of new material is kinda baffling.

That said, this is the music industry, and stranger things than a Sugababes comeback have happened.
