I can't say I have ever been a big Brian McKnight fan but the two songs I do like by him are "Find Myself In You" and "Love Is" with Vanessa Williams. As far as the talk show thing, it seems like everyone is getting one these days if they haven't already gotten a reality show. I can't be mad at him though. He is still doing it after all these years in the game.

Chris Brown Get Probation Sentencing!

Chris Brown can finally put this embarrassing fiasco behind him and get on with his life and what's left of his career.

The disgraced singer was sentenced Tuesday to five years' formal probation, 180 days of community labor and was ordered to complete a one-year anti-domestic violence program as part of his guilty plea for beating up fellow R&B star Rihanna.

"You are going to be placed on formal felony probation for a period of sixty months," L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said. "I'm going to keep probation to be supervised by the state of California with Mr. Brown performing his domestic violence counseling and community labor in the state of Virginia."

I can't feel sorry for Chris Brown and this whole situation. I saw the pic of him on yahoo.com and he had the puppy dog face. As far as his career is concerned, we shall see.

Kelly Rowland Talks New Album, Music!

“Here [In America], sometimes it’s like my music didn’t quite work, but overseas it’s on top of everybody’s chart. I’ve had more international success than domestic success, and I think that opens my eyes up to music. I mean, I just got back from performing in Lebanon. Lebanon!” she says.

“I have a new boost of energy. All the creative juices are flowing, and I’m having so much fun in the studio because I’m making dance records. And I’m working with producers who are just as curious about the sound internationally, too.”

Rowland says her next release will be dance-heavy, but she won’t forget her R&B roots.
“I don’t ever want to get in a box to where I’m thinking that this is the only place that can ever exist,” she says. “I love being overseas just as much as I love being home."

According to Kelly, the album is due out late 2009/Early 2010.
