Video: Chris Brown - Forever "Forever" is the first single from Chris Brown's re-release of "Exclusive: The Forever Edition" in stores June 3. Video: Lloyd feat Ludacris - How We Do It "How We Do It" is the first single from Lloyd's upcoming album, "Lessons In Love" in stores July 15. As much as I loved Lloyd's last album, "Street Love" I haven't been too thrilled with what I heard so far from this upcoming project. Try again Lloyd! Singer Tweet will release her new album, "Love Tweet" on June 10. The singer recently stated in an interview that former collaborator and mentor Missy Elliott is an "opportunist". The statement was in response to Tweet being asked about whether or not Missy was contributing to her new album. I'm sure if Tweet is promoted right she will be alright. Missy is not even all that hot right now her damn self! Rapper Lil' Kim has had her Bentley repossessed for being ...

Video: Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn [Behind The Scenes] Michelle Williams is gearing up for the release of her new video, "We Break The Dawn" from her new album, "Unexpected" in stores August 12. Video: Eve - All Night Long/Tambourine Eve currently doing promotion in Australia performed singles, "All Night Long" where Eve appears to be singing and "Tambourine" which we all should be familiar with. Note: The quality of the video is not the best but you get an idea of how "All Night Long" will sound when the album leaks to the U.S.

Video: Plies feat Ne-Yo - Bust It Baby Part 2 Video: Dream - I Luv Your Girl The Dream visited BET's "106 & Park" to premiere his video for "I Luv Your Girl" and revealed that he is working with Ciara and Beyonce on their upcoming albums. The Dream is weird to me. It's just something about him. I think it could be his sense of style. I remember his last BET "106 & Park" appearance (if I'm correct) he had on a tight ass suit. The-Dream claimed that then wife Nivea dressed him. I can only imagine if she dressed Lil' Wayne like that. I know he wouldn't be having it! Rapper Lil' Kim is rumored to drop a new album in June. The untitled album will feature production from legendary producers Trackmasters (worked with Foxy Brown ). In the upcoming months Kim will be featured on several remixes and guest appearances. First up will the remix to Nelly 's "Party People", the alternative version of Ray J ...

Foxy has been pretty quiet on the music scene as far as commercial releases are concerned. This is her first studio album in 7 years! "BDD" is a "street album/mixtape" for the fans to...

Video: Rihanna - Take A Bow Rihanna is re-releasing her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album on May 27. You can currently catch Rihanna on the "Glow In The Dark" tour with Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco.

Video: Ne-Yo - Closer Video: Danity Kane - Damaged (Live on Jimmy Kimmel) 50 Cent continues to seek to new lows for attention. The hip-hop star is blaming rapper Missy Elliott for his falling out with fellow G-Unit singer, Olivia . Originally signed to J Records before jumping ship to Interscope/G-Unit, Olivia began working with Missy when 50 claims that his relationship with Olivia soured. He claims that Missy "owned her a little bit" and "hit that"! Funny! This isn't the first or last time Missy has been known to turn an artist out. Remember the rumors with her and Trina ?!?! Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspsicion of assault! I reported yesterday how Amy attacked two men; one a cab driver and another at a nightclub. Well Winehouse was taken into custody Friday by voluntary appearing in at the police station for questioning. If convicted, Amy will face 6 months in prison. Paramount Pictures is suing Soul Train host and creator Don Cornelius product...

Video: Ashanti performing @ Spotlight Ashanti wows the crowd with a R&B showcase featuring her biggest hits and debuts new song, "Miss" and the rumored second single, "Girlfriend". Of course she performed her hit, "The Way That I Love You". Ashanti's "The Declaration" will be in stores June 3. Upcoming R&B group One Chance who signed to Usher's Us/J Records are said to be the opening act on the upcoming Janet Jackson tour which will launch on September 11. Missy Elliott and Danity Kane have also been rumored to be on the tour. Denzel Washington and Spike Lee 's star power is not that powerful...in actor Wesley Snipes case that is. The "Blade" actor has been sentenced to three years in jail for tax evasion charges. Washington and Lee wrote letters to a judge in hope of reducing Snipes' sentence.

While 50 Cent is keeping his beef with The Game going, it looks like their record showdown won't happen after all. Well it will but not on the same day anyway. G-Unit 's new album, "Terminate On Site" has been pushed back from June 24 to July 1. Meanwhile The Game's album, "L.A.X. (Los Angeles Times") has been pushed back to July 8. Now the rival rappers are dropping a week apart but you can still expect a showdown of epic proportions. Interestingly enough 50 Cent or G-Unit will square off on July 1 with another 50 Cent rival, Nas with the release of his "Nigger" album. I can respect 50's competitive nature but I just hate how he is always blabbing about someone. Troubled singer Amy Winehouse can't stay out of trouble! The singer recently attacked two men Tuesday night in two different incidents. First Winehouse failed to pay a cab driver and when he confronted her, she went wild! Later on that night Winehouse attacked a London music...

Plies ' "Definition Of Real" which contains the hit single, "Bust It Baby (Part 2)" feat Ne-Yo will be in stores June 10. You copping the album? Video: R. Kelly - Hairbraider R. Kelly - Hairbraider [Official Music Video] Uploaded by deejoe Audio: Mariah Carey feat Jay-Z - Bye Bye (Remix) Audio: Usher feat Beyonce & Lil' Wayne - Love In This Club Part 2 New mom Jennifer Lopez has landed her an untitled reality show to air on the TLC network! The show will revolve around Lopez as she launches a new fragrance, juggle motherhood, films, and her music career. There is no word yet on when the show will air. I am surprised that Jennifer is doing a reality show. It's always interesting to see how certain big name stars live and Jennifer is certainly no exception. News Tidbits: New albums from Lyfe , Lyfe Change and Lil' Mama , Voice Of The Young People have leaked online! Both albums will be in stores April 29.

Video: Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair Former talk-show host and lawyer Star Jones-Reynolds has filed for divorce for her husband of four years, Al Reynolds . I didn't see this coming to be honest despite all the rumors that has dogged the couple throughout their courtship. I have read that Al plans to pen a tell-all book! How typical! As previously reported Mariah Carey has the #1 album in the US with "E=MC2" with 462K units. It is highest first week sales of her career! Mariah's video for her new single, "Bye Bye" will premiere on April 28. Rapper Jay-Z appears on the remix to "Bye Bye". This has to be one of the funniest stories I read today. Actor Terrance Howard will be releasing an album in September. The album described as a live, big band, jazzy album features songs Howard written at the tender age of 16 in his "rainbow colored notebook". If that is not an indication of this man's sexuality I don't know what is. Sorr...

Solange Knowles will release her Geffen debut, "Sol-Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams" on August 26.The album is preceded by the Pharrell Williams produced, "I Decided". The album sports collaborations with Lil' Wayne , Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry , Bilal , Raphael Saadiq , Q-Tip , Mark Ronson , Cee-Lo , and Jack Splash . Wow! Solange has quite a few collaborations on this album. I am looking forward to hearing this album and I hope she does deliver the goods. Mariah Carey will have the #1 album in the US this week with her latest, "E=MC2". The singer revealed that the album's 3rd single will be "Love Story" followed by "I Stay In Love" and finally "Migrate". Carey's new love interest Nick Cannon will appear in the video for new single, "Bye Bye" and "Love Story". I'm left to wonder how does Nick Cannon land these women? He has to be one of corniest people in the industry to me but app...

Video: Cherish - Amnesia [Behind The Scenes] "Amnesia" is the the 2nd single off Cherish's upcoming album, "The Truth" in stores May 13. G-Unit has chosen, "I Like The Way She Do It" as the album's first single and "Rider Part 2" which appears on the recently released, "Elephant In The Sand" mixtape. G-Unit's "Terminate On Site" will be in stores June 24. If you recall rapper The Game is releasing his "Los Angeles Times" on June 24 as well. 50 Cent is trying to make a spectacle with this the way he did with Kanye West. 50's ultimate wish is to see Game pushed back but if he is not and outsells 50, 50 will eat his own words once again. Egg on your face! Rapper Nas has been relatively quiet since his appearance at the Grammy's where he and his entourage including wife Kelis were adorned in "Nigger" gear. The rapper recently leaked out the street single, "Be A Nigger Too". It...

Remember her? Sparkle 's self-titled debut album went platinum off the strength of her one and only hit, "Be Careful" featuring R. Kelly. Hailing for Chicago, Sparkle born Stephanie Edwards sang backup from another R. Kelly protege the late singer, Aaliyah . On how she got her name, Kelly saw the snowflakes on her face when coming in from the snow and named her Sparkle. While "Be Careful" was Sparkle's only hit, singles and videos were released for "Time To Move On" and "What About". Rumors started to emerge regarding Sparkle and her relationship with Kelly since much wasn't known about her at time. People assumed Kelly was dating Sparkle and personally had placed a gag order on the singer prior to her short success. The relationship between Sparkle and Kelly eventually dissolved when the two couldn't agree on how Sparkle's second album would be received. Sparkle eventually jumped ship to Motown Records and worked exclusively...

The album is preceded by the singles, "Never Never Land", "Midnight Train", and "Cops Up". Video: Danity Kane - Poetry (Live @ Soundcheck) I was just starting to wonder if Island Records had dropped the ball on Janet Jackson 's "Discipline" project but I was wrong. The label plans to release "Can't B Good" as the album's official second single. The song written by Ne-Yo was released awhile back on Urban AC radio. Janet's video for "Rock With U" was pretty much a wasted effort in my opinion because I never really saw it again after its BET premiere. The s...

Ashanti 's "The Declaration" will be in stores June 3. The album sports collaborations from LT Hutton , Pharrell Williams , Robin Thicke , Babyface , Jermaine Dupri and more.

Video: Mary J. Blige - Stay Down Troubled R&B singer R. Kelly has jumped on an unofficial remix of Mariah Carey 's #1 hit, "Touch My Body". On the track the singer mentions that his new album, 12 Play: Fourth Quarter is coming soon. While there is no release date known for the album, the first single is "Hair Braider" which leaked online awhile back. The upcoming video that accompanies the song features R Kelly sporting a gold hairdo. The picture recently surfaced online and has been all the rage. Kelly claims the hairstyle was only for the video. I personally think R Kelly should retire the whole "12 Play" concept and just do some more mature music. I actually think he should duet with Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, or Ashanti . I know he has duetted with Mary before (on "It's On") but it is something I would like to hear.

Jay-Z - Who Ya Wit Taken from the "Sprung" soundtrack starring Tisha Campbell-Martin and Joe Torry . This is one of my favorite videos and songs from Jay-Z. I love the "Player of the Year" concept and how competitive the girls become. Of course I love Foxy Brown 's cameo in this which is pretty funny after she throws a drink in a guy's face. This is truly one of Jay-Z's better and more entertaining videos.

Mariah Carey who released her new album, "E=MC2" yesterday is on track to have the #1 album next week according to HitsDailyDouble . The singer is estimated to sell anywhere between 500-600K units.

The second single is being touted as "Moving Mountains" which leaked online eons ago. Confirmed tracks for the album include: What's A Man To Do, Before I Met You, Here I Stand, and Forever . Catch Usher on the newest issue of Vibe magazine and he will perform at the 2008 BET Awards.

The show will follow the rapper as she begins to piece her life back together after her 8 month stint in jail.

Dirty South rapper Slim Thug will be free from his contract with label Interscope Records. The rapper expressed his disdain with the label back in 2006 when his album, "Already Platinum" only went gold. The rapper will now concentrate on his group and his upcoming album, "Boss Of All Bosses". His group Tha Boss Hog Outlawz will release their album through Koch Records. There is no word on the release date. There is also no release date for a new Slim Thug album. These days if your not pulling units, you drop down the list of priority for the label. Slim was able to sell more copies as an independent artist. It looks like he will be going back to the route. Singer/Songwriter Ne-Yo will be releasing his new album, "Year Of The Gentleman" on June 24. The singer plans to collaborate with Alicia Keys , Jordin Sparks , Jay-Z , Rihanna , John Mayer , and Natasha Bedingfield . Unfortunately due to everyone's schedule being so different, these collabs are ...

Video: Mariah Carey 's MTV Spoofs Mariah Carey MTV 52/52 Campaign Uploaded by MariahDailyJournal This is a big week for singer Mariah Carey as she releases her new album, "E=MC2" in stores today. While the singer is making a slew of appearances throughout, Mariah is also MTV's Artist of the Week which explains for the segments which will be appearing on MTV all week long. R&B singer Monica is returning this August with her new album entitled, "Lessons Learned". The album sports collaborations from R. Kelly , Ne-Yo , Babyface , Bryan Michael Cox , and Polow Da Don . Monica has definitely had her share of trials and tribulations so a title like "Lessons Learned" is very befitting for her. There are rumors going around that Monica may tour with Brandy this year since both artists are to release albums this year. Singer Brandy recently inked a record deal with Epic Records. Monica and Brandy have both expressed interest in working together again...

This is my version of Vibe magazine's "21 Questions" where the magazine takes a rather humorous, intriguing, and interesting look into the lifes of celebs with 21 questions that you may think that your the only one thinking but you are not. If any of these questions bare any resemblance to any Vibe magazine future, past or present it is purely coincidental as I don't read the magazine like that unless I like the cover artist. 21. How many times will Keyshia Cole change her hair color? 20. Will Lil' Wayne 's "The Carter 3" live up to the hype? 19. Doesn't Mariah Carey try to hard to be down? 18. Doesn't it seem like Ashanti might make that comeback after all? 17. What was R. Kelly thinking by dying his hair gold? 16. Aren't you tired of hearing about the 2008 Presidential Election? 15. Aren't you expecting R. Kelly 's child molestration trial to be delayed again? 14. Doesn't T-Pain look older than 21 years? 13. Will these r...

R&B bad boy Bobby Brown is mad at ex-wife singer Whitney Houston for refusing to sign off for the DVD release of "Being Bobby Brown". Houston feels the footage has ruined her career and doesn't want to public to recapture those troubled and very funny moments! Damnit! I was so wanting to see that show on DVD. I loved it! When Brown and Houston originally divorced, things were cool. Lately though Brown has been throwing darts at Houston every chance he gets. Why can't we all just get along? Famed rap group 3 6 Mafia will release their new album, "Last 2 Walk" on June 24. The album is preceded by first single, "I'd Rather" featuring Unk (of "Walk It Out" fame). The album sports collaborations from Akon and rock group Good Charlotte . You can currently vote for the album in the Weekly Poll Question. I have the album titled listed incorrectly so disregard that. Singer Toni Braxton has cancelled the remaining dates of her Vegas...

June is Black History Month and though June is still a month in a half away, it is looking to be a really big and interesting month for music. We already have albums coming out from Ashanti , Chris Brown , Nelly , Ne-Yo , and more. Now added to the list will be rappers Common , "Invincible Summer" and G-Unit 's "Shoot To Kill" which will both be released June 24. I notice that 50 Cent is looking to capitalize off his much-publicized record sale rivalry with Kanye West . Dropping the same day as rival rapper The Game who will release his third album, "Los Angeles Times". Hey! I think it is a good marketing ploy. I know both rappers better bring the heat especially 50 since a lot of people didn't like his last album even though I did. Rapper Eve was set to release her new "Here I Am" nearly a year ago when it suddenly was placed on hold indefinitely. Eve had released two singles, the club-ready "Tambourine" and the pop-opus ...

The results are in for the Weekly Poll Question though this week was a bit different. Instead of asking a question I posed a statement. Female rapper and reality TV star Khia is always running her trap so I decided to make a poll about her. Besides a little free promo never hurt anybody. Here is how Khia fared when readers were asked to finish the statement, Rapper Khia is... a hater - 31% she is all of the above - 19% ugly - 11% an one-hit wonder - 10% dirty - 08% nasty - 06% funny - 04% other - sexy, all the above - 02% an opportunist - 02% Make sure you check out the new "Weekly Poll Question" in the right side margin. You can vote unlimited and multiple times for your choice. The poll will remain open for exactly one week of its original post time. The polls are simply conducted for entertainment purposes. As previously reported singer Ciara will release her new album, "Fantasy Ride" late Summer/early Fall. The album will be preceded by first single, "Hig...

Troubled rapper T.I. will release his new album, "Paper Trail" this September. The rapper is collaborating with Pop powerhouse Amy Winehouse either for his album or hers. In other T.I. news the rapper will become a father for the ____ time. His on and off again girlfriend, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is giving birth to their new son on May 25. Wow! Everytime I turn around T.I. and Tiny are having babies. Superstar Mariah Carey will reportedly release a fitness video detailing how she slimmed down just in time for new album, "E=MC2" in stores April 15. Uhh! Isn't Janet Jackson supposed to release a diet book detailing her weight loss. Is this coincidental? Mariah and Janet are compared so much these days it ain't even funny! I guess they would be when they do everything the same. Rapper turned reality TV star Vanilla Ice was reportedly arrested for beating his wife after she went out and bought a bedroom set. I find that a little crazy. After all wat...

Originally due May 8, "The Carter 3" has been pushed back to June 10. First single, "Lollipop" is already in the top ten of the Billboart Hot 100 weeks after its release. Video: Sean Garrett feat Ludacris - Grippin (On The Bed) Singer/Songwriter Johnta Austin who is known for writing hits for Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey was supposed to release his debut album, "Ocean Drive" eons ago but the album has been shelved indefinitely. Austin will now concentrate on a new album titled, "Love, Sex, & Religion". There is no word on when the album will be released. If you didn't know Johnta is the brother of famed producer Dallas Austin who has worked extensively with TLC . Missy Elliott 's new album is titled, "Phenomenal". The album due this summer will contain the singles, "Shake Ya Pom Pom" and "Ching-A-Ling". The album sports collaborations from Timbaland and Jazmine Sullivan (songwriter for Christina ...

Video: Nelly feat Fergie - Party People Newlyweds Beyonce & Jay-Z are said to be appear on Usher 's new album, "Here I Stand" in stores May 27. I remember reading Ush wanted Jay on this new album. I am surprised by the Beyonce collaboration then again I'm not. Beyonce is a very exclusive artist meaning she won't just do tracks with anybody. You have to be a high-profile artist or someone from in the MusicWorld circle to have Beyonce as a featured artist. According to rapper 50 Cent , comrade Young Buck is no longer with G-Unit! The controversial rapper revealed the news while on air with radio shock jock Ms. Jones . Well he's probably better off without G-Unit. The rapper is currently working on his upcoming album, "Product Of The South" due later this year. Producer/singer Ryan Leslie who is riding high with current single, "Diamond Girl" will release his self-titled album on June 17. If you are unfamiliar with Leslie he has work...

Video: Usher feat Young Jeezy - Love In This Club Video: Kelly Rowland - Comeback Artist Site More Videos Wow! This video is hot and Kelly looks great in it! I'm thinking this should of been Kelly's 2nd single here instead of "Ghetto". Bad Boy songstress Cassie who brought us the 2006 smash, "Me & U" is gearing up to release her untitled sophomore album in stores this June. The first single, "Official Girl" was produced by Danja . The album also sports collaborations with Ryan Leslie , Mario Winans , Seven , Bryan Michael Cox , and more. Cassie had some good songs on her last album so I'll be checking for the new album.

R&B singer Faith Evans known for her hits, "Again" and "You Used To Love Me" is the latest artist to release a tell-all book entitled, "Keep The Faith: A Memoir". In the book the singer details her rocky relationship with the Notorious B.I.G. and shares her personal relationship with producer Diddy . The book is set to be released on August 29. The description of this book doesn't reveal anything that we don't already know about Faith. I am hoping she does reveal some things we don't know about her. Mariah Carey 's rumored new beau, actor Nick Cannon will play her love interest in the video for Mariah's second single, "Bye Bye". There have been rumors about Mariah and Nick and him being in the new video may be the reason for those rumors. Mariah has recently been linked to Da Brat too but I think they are just really close friends. In other Mariah news, her new album, "E=MC2" due April 15 has leaked and is n...
