TV show ‘Glee’ has taken the entertainment world by storm, becoming an instant global hit in. Now the comedy-drama is set to further expand its audience with a special ‘Madonna’ themed episode, which airs on April 20th.

The cast’s version of Madge’s 2008 smash ‘4 Minutes’ surfaced ahead of the episode’s première, and dare I say, it’s actually on-par (if not better) than the original. Amber Riley who plays Mercedes (pictured second from left) was getting it with those adlibs and runs at the end. Good stuff.

Peep the official cover for Monica‘s latest single ‘Here I Am’. The hotter-than-hot cut serves as the follow-up to Urban smash ‘Everything To Me’.

Tidbit: Monica’s ‘Still Standing’ LP is living up to its name; the album is set to remain within the top 10 in its 3rd week on on the Billboard 200. It’s hard to think of a record in recent time that is more deserving. More power to her!

Peep pint-sized rapper Lil’ Kim, who was snapped while out and about in Los Angeles last night. After all the not-so flattering images we tend to see of Kim, she looked refreshingly good here. Now, if only she’d stay out of the surgeon’s office and get back to doing what she does best – make great music.

Tidbit: Kim stans; is she signed to a major label at present or have a deal in the working?

A new song from Fantasia has surfaced in the form of ‘Man of the House’. Produced by hitmaker Polow Da Don, the track is said to be lifted from the 25 year old’s forthcoming 3rd studio album.

While the production on this one is top notch, the same can not be said for the song more generally. Vocally, the American Idol alum is perhaps the most restrained she’s ever been on a record; while lyrically the song’s subject matter comes across archaic and dated. A decent effort (which may garner her some Urban radio play), yet our girl is going to need to come much harder than this to make folk sit up and pay attention.
