Any news is better than no news. Baby Love: Ciara has finally given birth! The singer delivered a 9lbs 10oz baby boy named Future Zahir Wilburn. Yes! The newborn baby was named after his rapper father's stage name. I think its cute though. This is Ciara's first child and Future's fourth. Congrats to both parents! Un-Break Her Heart: Today singer and reality TV star Toni Braxton released her biography titled Un-Break My Heart. The singer appeared on The View today and promoted her book by having a book signing at Barnes & Nobles. One of the major selling points of the book is that Toni Braxton had a secret abortion 10 years ago. Love & Dirty Money: As rumored months ago former Dirty Money singer and band mate Kaleena appeared on Monday's episode of Love & Hip Hop. The singer was introduced as a friend of cast mate Karlie Redd. The singer mixed and mingled with Karlie and Rasheeda at Karlie's makeup line launch. We will have to keep watching to see...

I was reading and came across this bit of news that former Dirty Money singer Kaleena will be joining Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. The singer will star alongside her husband Tony. There is no word yet on when LHHATL will air but I'm presuming once LLHNY ends. Last season LHHATL added DJ Tracy Steele and Baby Drew to the mix and the response wasn't so good and the couple got booted. Let's hope Kaleena and Tony bring the messiness!

Kaleena formerly of Dirty Money fame releases the latest video and single from her mixtape Chamber Of Diaries .

Kaleena; to me basically came out of nowhere with this video. I had no idea that she was embarking on a solo career but then again Dawn(Richard) is. Kaleena is one third of the group; Dirty Money spearheaded by who else; P. Diddy. Kaleena gives her best Missy Elliott impression as she grinds and gyrates in the teaser to her video and single; "Go To Work". I actually like it though. Have you noticed that Kaleena bares a striking resemblance to singer Estelle? If Kaleena has an upcoming solo album in the works; I'm unaware. If and when I find info about it; I will let you all know. ---------------- Now playing: KALENNA - GO TO WORK (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube via FoxyTunes

Diddy along with Cassie and new group, Dirty Money[which consists of Danity Kane's Dawn Richards and songwriter Kaleena]stop in Central Park in NYC and preview his new album, "Last Train To Paris". Check it out!

Hello all! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. It's unusually cool today but that's okay with me, I like cool. I have some music news for you all. Kelly Rowland talks new album, Beyonce's free concert tickets, and Diddy's album pushed back. Read more about these stories below. Kelly Rowland Talks New Album! Former Bandmate singer turned solo star Kelly Rowland is currently topping charts across the globe with her smash single "When Love Takes Over", and now according to Billboard, the songs producer David Guetta has revealed that he will in fact be producing the majority of the singers upcoming third studio album. It's looking less and less likely that Rowlands new album will be R&B like her first two efforts, especially in light of some recent comments she made to Billboard regarding Guetta. "The current sound with urban and pop is just kind of dancing in circles, and nothing is going anywhere," Rowland says. "I was really kind of...

Do you like it pretty? Do you like it dirty? or Do you like it young? Lately several new groups have been formed all including the name 'money'. Certainly there is money to be made and who doesn't love money. Starting with Trina, the rapstress has formed a female super group titled, Pretty Money. The group has appeared on a few songs with Trina primarily on the "Millionaires Girl's Club" mixtape released a few months ago. Dirty Money is the newest group featuring Diddy, Dawn Richards(formerly of Danity Kane), and Kaleena(Who?). The group has already released a song called, "Angels" which features the late Notorious B.I.G. I haven't heard the song so I don't know if its any good. I also remember reading that Dirty Money will make an appearance on Diddy's upcoming album, "Last Train To Paris". Perhaps one of the biggest rap clicks in recent years is Young Money. Spearheaded by Lil' Wayne, the group features upcoming rappers su...
