Raz B of B2K fame is said to be joining the cast of Love & Hip Hop L.A. The cast is already said to include artists such as Ray J, Teairra Mari, The Game, Soulja Boy, and Omarion. Love & Hip Hop L.A. is set to premiere on VH1 on September 15. Another interesting tidbit I learned that Dawn Richard of Danity Kane was filming for the show until she was dropped for having too weak of a storyline. Maybe if Danity Kane decided to fight while the camera was going maybe she'd still have a spot on the show. But from the sounds of the show, since its inception the show looks to be a very big mess if indeed the rumors of the cast and other happenings are true. 

One person who knows how to conjure up controversy is former B2K member Raz B. The singer known for his accusations surrounding B2K and others was apparently in a coma. The singer suffered a blow to the head after performing and breaking up a fight in a club in China. Apparently now its been reported that while Raz B suffered injuries he is not in a coma and the rumor was simply a hoax. So that's that... Moving on...Kelly Rowland is reportedly re-releasing her Talk A Good Game album! Why? I don't know for sure but maybe that will help the sales of the album. Kelly has released a handful of singles which have all done well by the way. I just think the album should of been released much sooner and it probably would of sold more. There is no word yet on how soon we can expect the re-release but I personally won't be holding my breath. In some more joyous news...Monica is having a baby girl. The singer is currently pregnant with her third child. Congrats to Mo and her family!

Raz B is a strange little man. Raz B has been trying to out Chris Stokes on child-molestation charges for the longest through internets outcrys or through magazines interviews. First he made YouTube videos talking about the issue, then he made a phone call to Ray J & recorded confession, and now he is writing a tell-all book. Oh lord, if this book is full of lies this will only make Raz look like the bigger fool. The makings of a MAJOR scandal, Oh No They Didn't! reports: So last week we were told about B2k member releasing a tell-all entitled, This Boy’s Life, released through Corona Sky Productions. Well now we have excerpts, Raz hold nothing back and outs some of your favorite R&B hip hop singers. On B2K: “There were no girls; there were no breaks, and absolutely NO meat. Our diet was so strict that I remember passing out during rehearsals because of our heavily restricted diet.” “...Me and Boog (Jarell Houston, known as J. Boog) resisted ...

Foxy Brown was supposed to drop a new dis record aimed at Lil' Kim; "Christmas Massacre" but the song has yet to leak. Production company Platinum Camp claims to be in possession of the song. The song was set to leak out on Christmas Eve during a planned Foxy performance but it never happened. Foxy took her twitter account and personally apologized to the fans for the concert ruckus. She also shared her love for all her fans and spoke of an appearance on New York's Hot97 next week. Well that remains to be seen and "Christmas Massacre" remains to be heard. Monica is wasting no time following up her gold album, "Still Standing" by releasing a new album next year entitled, "New Life". The singer is working with Tank among others. I don't know much else info on the album as of now but I do like the title. Clearly Monica and J Records have moved on from the Grammy nominated; "Still Standing" album but I felt the album had at leas...

Raz B is back again and he's pointing fingers and blaming people for his rough years in the business as a member of B2K. During a phone conversation with Marques Houston, Raz B grows irate and spazzes on Marques and comments that were made by Omarion. But that's not even half the fuss; its what he suggests about himself and Marques Houston. You have to watch it to see. I have no words for this. This has taken my by total surprise. But this is expected of Raz B at this point.

Chris Brown's apology video was a shock in itself but not big enough to land on this list. Sure, there probably are some more shocking moments but this is all off top of the head. It is my opinion and you can agree or disagree. Who cares?!?! Enjoy! 5. Rihanna's Naked Pictures! Rihanna was already a hot topic thanks in part to her becoming Chris Brown's punching bag. Rihanna gained even more publicity once pictures of her nude surfaced. Some say that Chris Brown was responsible for the leaked pictures. 4. Brandy's Fatal Car Crash!

Recently there has been an overwhelming amount of nude pictures of celebrities being leaked out. The last week saw nude pictures of Cassie, Rihanna, and Gangsta Boo leak out. Is this an accident or is it a publicity stunt? You know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. In the past I made a post about stars with sex tapes. In this post I concentrate solely on musicians who have had nude pictures leak out. Rihanna - Just days ago nude pics of one of the biggest stars on the planet leaked out. Many suspected that the pics were the work of Chris Brown. Cassie - Shortly before Rihanna was exposed, Cassie's goodies were put on display. It's certainly something that Diddy and Ryan Leslie has already seen. Eve - Before she was known as a 'pitbull in a skirt' the former stripper turned rapper had some risque pictures with another unidentified female. Ne-Yo - Ne-Yo does and says anything to dodge those gay rumors he constantly gets hit with. To calm down the talk,...

Now we're bringing the whole Euro-club sound. That's where we're headed with it." Keri Hilson Pushed Back! Originally expected this summer then befo...
