Beyonce Is Billboard's Woman Of The Year!

It seems as if Beyonce has won every award imaginable but fear not there are still dozens of awards Beyonce has not received and Billboard's Woman of the Year is the latest. Whitney Houston's latest dilemma and TLC's return are all mentioned below. Check it out!

Beyonce Receives Billboard Honor!

Billboard announced today (Aug. 25) that Beyoncé will be accepting its Woman Of The Year Award at the 2009 Billboard Women In Music Event, taking place on Oct. 2 in New York City.

The honor, given to a female recording artist that has inspired the music business with her success, leadership and new ideas, will be awarded to the singer for her accomplishments over the past 12 months.

In the last year, Beyoncé kicked off her world tour "I Am..." in support of her third solo album "I Am...Sasha Fierce," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in November and features the hit singles "If I Were A Boy," "Single Ladies," "Halo," "Ego" and "Sweet Dreams."

The Billboard Women in Music Event celebrates the most powerful and talented women in the music business and is also held in conjunction with the Women In Music Power Players List issue, which recognizes the top female music executives who are leading the industry with their artistic and business vision.

I remember reading that Beyonce wants a Tony(Broadway) and an Oscar. Which one do you think she will win first? I won't bet on that Oscar!

Whitney Houston's New Album Won't Be Available In Wal-Mart?

Is Wal-Mart trying to sabotage Whitney Houston's record sales?

Don't mess with a diva!

We've just learned that Wal-Mart will not be selling Whitney's new album, I Look To You, in their retail locations!

The album, which comes out the first week of September, will only be for sale through Wal-Mart's online store, according to several Whitney fansites.

Coincidentally enough, Miley Cyrus's upcoming EP, The Time Of Our Lives, has a competing release date with Houston's I Look To You, and will be exclusively for sale at Wal-Mart!

Trying to knock out the competition?

How sleazy!!

I've never heard of anything so dumb. Miley Cyrus? I mean really. Miley Cyrus releases an album every two weeks it seems and I know Wal-Mart carries the other Whitney Houston titles but not this one. This will come back and bite them in the ass cause Whitney is expected to hit big sales wise and after that they will come running for cover. After all Wal-Mart needs that Whitney Houston album in their store, it will help with revenue especially since they are hurting after taking their layaway away.

TLC Reunites For Concert!

TLC, the record-breaking, four-time R&B Grammy winners who were a mainstay on the Billboard charts in the 1990s, are set to play a show on U.S. soil for the first time in seven years – as part of a benefit concert hosted by Justin Timberlake.

Playing the "Justin Timberlake and Friends" concert, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the two remaining members of TLC – Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was killed in a 2002 car accident – will play Las Vegas's Mandalay Bay Events Center on Oct. 17.

Along with Timberlake and TLC, country sweetheart Taylor Swift and vocalists Alicia Keys and Ciara have also been added to the ticket. Tickets go on sale Saturday.

The benefit concert highlights a weeklong golf tournament to be hosted by Timberlake in Sin City Oct. 11-18 – the 2009 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Timberlake, 28, is in the second year of a five-year partnership with Shriners to host the golf tournament and benefit concert.

People are always going on about how TLC is not TLC without Left Eye and that is true but what is the difference between T-Boz and Chili still performing some of those hits even those that feature or didn't feature Lisa. No one says anything about Beyonce performing Destiny's Child's hits solo even the parts that feature Kelly[Rowland] or Michelle[Williams]. The nerve of some people.
