MORE THAN A BIOPIC: Wendy Williams has added executive producer to the upcoming Aaliyah biopic due to air on Lifetime. The movie has been doomed from the start with Zendaya Coleman dropping out. Let's see if Wendy can breathe life into this biopic. SECOND CHANCES: Nicole Scherzinger formerly of The Pussycat Dolls has signed to Epic Records. L.A. Reid recently revealed the news via Twitter.

Nicole Scherzinger is reportedly poised to sign a £3m recording deal with Sony. The popular X Factor judge and former Pussycat Dolls star is claimed by The Sun to have a new album coming out in the summer. A source said: "Nicole was the most popular member of the X Factor panel this year and is the real winner in terms of bankability. "She is set to sign with Sony and can't wait to get back to her music which took a back seat during X Factor." There have been numerous rumours about changes on the judging panel of the ITV talent show - with Simon Cowell expected to return and reports that Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue are being headhunted. So Scherzy could find herself free to devote much more of her time to reviving her music career. http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/nicole-scherzinger/398204-nicole-scherzinger-ps3m-recording-deal-sony#EslCls0KAFCcms4z.99

America's favorite Pussycat Doll is back with another solo offering and her latest video from her upcoming album. I'm not sure when her album is coming out and if anyone is remotely interested. Her song with 50 Cent(can't think of its name right now) actually did pretty good. So maybe there still is some promise for her.

Former Pussycat Dolls front woman Nicole Scherzinger strikes out on her own again and this time with 50 Cent for her debut single for her new album. I can't think of the name right now. Anyway the album is out overseas I do now. The last time Nicole released a single here in the States with T.I. it flopped. This song, though does seem like it has what it takes to make the Pop Top 40. ---------------- Now playing: Nicki Minaj - here i am via FoxyTunes

Rihanna is definitely in demand now more than ever before. The singer is reportedly set to duet with not only Beyonce but 50 Cent as well on their new albums. Beyonce's new album is reportedly titled; "B Revolution" but there has not been an official word as yet. As a matter of fact a teaser of the video for "Run The World(Girls)" leaked out today on Beyonce's official website. As for the 50 Cent project; it was hinted at on twitter that Rihanna and Eminem were collaborating with 50 Cent. 50 Cent commented that he will release a new single this week or the next so look out for that. In other 50 Cent news the rapper will appear on Nicole S. first single here in the states for her album; "Killer Love" which has been released overseas already. The single "Right There" will be released very soon so look out for that. Nicole S. had a solo album that was set to come out but it never materialized here in the states but it got released overseas(...

Video: Rocko - Dis Morning Audio: Trey Songz - Love LockDown Trey has a new mixtape out so this explains for all the remakes etc. I don't like this "Love Lockdown" song from Kanye or Trey. I see Trey has a knack for remaking songs. Sometimes they come off cool, sometimes very cheesy. I think Trey should stop doing this and just concentrate on making music. Besides he's on numerous songs nowadays anyway but I guess this is just part of him keeping hisself out there. Music News: Deborah Cox Back With New Album! Click here for more info!
