I need a new Nicki picture. Good evening! I'm sitting here on laptop of course and the movie, "Honey" starring Jessica Alba is on BET. Its been awhile since I seen this so I figure I'd watch. So here are some updates for you all for the music news obsessed. Nicki Minaj had the social media world in a tizzy last night when she revealed she had a new album releasing. The album titled, "#PickMyFruitOut" featured a tracklisting tweeted out by Nicki, 1 through 9 with fruits as the song titles. Last but not least, she revealed that track 10 would feature her favorite rapper. Well turns out for now, the news was just a hoax. But people have been on standby on music streaming services to see if an actual album existed. Then again maybe this is not the album but one may be on the way to being released.  Congratulations to Solange! Her album, "A Seat at the Table" is #1 on the Billboard charts with 72,000 units sold and streamed. This is Solange...

Any news is good news.  Someone who won't go down without a fight is Pebbles. Just when we thought we heard the end from the 80s R&B star, Pebbles has struck back and sued Viacom for $40 million dollars. Viacom is the company that brings us such music channel luminaries as VH1(which CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story aired), BET, and MTV. Now I'm watching Wendy as this was being reported and I agree with what Wendy said. Pebbles won't get $40 million dollars but she surely will get something. How much do you think Pebbles should get if anything at all? Or do you think Pebbles should just let all this go? Looks like Pebbles is beating the hell out of a dead horse. Till next time people!

Pebbles speaks candidly with Wendy about the many accusations made against her in light of the recent airing of the TLC biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story . She also speaks about rumors of Chili having an affair L.A. Reid and more. Check it out!

This weekend The Soul Train Music Awards took place in Las Vegas. The premiere of the show will air on Centric and BET on Sunday December 1. With pretaped award shows, the winners list leaks out, well sort of. I do have two of the winners for you, K. Michelle won an award for Best New Artist. Ashanti won for Best Independent Artist(I believe). The show featured appearances from Jennifer Hudson, Faith Evans, Babyface, Toni Braxton, and Tamar Braxton just to name a few. This Wednesday we can look forward to Pebbles appearing on Wendy . Pebbles has been in the headlines as of late due to the TLC biopic which aired last month. Pebbles and her family have come out swinging over the portrayal of Pebbles in the biopic. Expect this interview to be a tell-all juicy interview, the kind we expect from Wendy. Nelly revealed what we all knew but didn't wanna believe. He and Ashanti are no longer together. Appearing on Bravo's Watch! What Happens Live last night, Nelly was asked "Was h...

Pebbles is at it again! My gosh this is the most press she's gotten since the 80s. Please believe that! I am being shady but I do like Pebbles from back in the day. Apparently Pebbles isn't happy with the money hungry diva TLC made her out to be in their biopic which aired two weeks ago. Of course Pebbles is suing people left and right. Apparently she needs the money but this certainly nothing new. Any time anyone is portrayed in a movie specifically a biopic they are liable to be upset with their portrayal. It makes sense but again this is TLC's side of the story, not hers. Pebbles is working with her lawyer to get retractions from VH1 and their biopic. Sounds like we won't be hearing the end of this Pebbles vs. everyone saga anytime soon. I won't be surprised if Pebbles herself has some type of project in the works she wants to promote.
