Fresh off her performance at the VH1 "Hip Hop Honors", DeJ Loaf who paid tribute to Lil' Kim is now in the studio with the Queen Bee. The two posed in a picture that made the rounds today via social media. So there are a few questions I'm curious to know. When will we hear this collaboration, that's one and whose album will it be featured on? I know DeJ Loaf said she was working on her first album and who knows if Kim will drop an album any time soon. We can however expect Lil' Kim to drop a song or a mixtape but what about an album? I believe that's what the fans really want but for now they'll take Kim however they can. In other music news, Nick Cannon is reportedly dating Chili from TLC. When asked about it, Nick told ET(Entertainment Tonight) to "ask her"(Chili). I'm not sure if Chili has been available for comment since she's typically touring with T-Boz. We see Nick Cannon a lot more since he hosts like 20 different shows so ...

I been gone for a minute but I'm back with the jump off. STONE COLD: Angie Stone has dumped her manager/boyfriend Ashanti Graves after it was discovered he was having an affair. It turns out that Ashanti was having an affair with someone who worked on R&B Divas Atlanta . Ouch! Throughout the show's season three run, Angie probed Ashanti about marrying her but he always brushed it off. Now it all makes sense. CHILI CON QUESO: Chili of TLC revealed that former manager Pebbles, who had a lawsuit against TLC has found her lawsuit thrown out. She also revealed that 702's Where My Girls At was a song originally offered to the group but they turned it down. Also the group was offered but passed on Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time . Could you hear TLC singing those songs? 

Any news is better than no news.  SINGLE AGAIN: J-Lo is reportedly single again. Yes! You read it right. But it is being reported that its not because of the rumors going around about her boyfriend Casper. If you missed it there were rumors going around that Casper had dealings with a trans girl. Yeah right! In other J-Lo news I read that the Bronx labeled her a "sell out" after her hometown performance. Why? I don't really care to know but I can pretty much imagine why they would say that. Personally people should be over J-Lo and the whole "Jenny From The Block" thing anyway. NAKED AMBITION: Rihanna is not one to be messed with and I feel we learn that at least every two weeks. When asked about Rihanna's latest fashion choices in reference to her see through gown at the CDFA, TLC had choice words for Rihanna. Chili and T-Boz both agreed they never had to take off their clothes to sell records. Hey! It's been the same thing Brandy has said before a...

Chal is about to tell it like it T I S. Happy New Year! If you weren't aware the Barabados beauty herself, Rihanna is working on new music, a new album slated to be released this year. It is said that Rihanna is readying a club jam with a team of the hottest writers and producers around. Well isn't that how Rihanna usually gets down? I'm sure whatever she releases, when she does releases will be as infectious as her past hits. Punch Rih! On a completely different note, fans are upset at TLC's Chili for a New Years resolution list she made that urged everyone to stop using nicknames for Beyonce'. Included are "Bey", "Queen B" or the other variations of nicknames fans have used over the years. As you know fans were in a frenzy and went in on Chili via Twitter where she posted the nonsense. Rightfully so Chili explained what she meant by the blunder but urged fans not to get their panties in a bunch. I like Chili, Lord knows I do but Chili has t...

Christina Milian is hard at work on her new album, "Dream In Color" which hits stores real soon. Her album's first single, "Us Against The World" didn't have much of an impact so she is moving forward with second single, "Zipper" produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.

This song isn't too bad. I like Omarion especially since I liked his "21" album so much. I haven't been to particular about his recently leaked material, but this one is cool.
