And we're back. I actually like the song that K.Michelle wrote for Mimi but I will never support her because of her attitude.

Nonetheless, Karlie has a meeting with her manager in the clip where he advises her to stop dating Benzino. I completely agree with her manager because it is obvious that Benzino is only trying to establish relevance one more. On another note, if this is really your manager shouldn't he already know what you 'have been up to' career wise? The fact that she said that her manager never has time for her is clear evidence that she needs to let him go.

We couldn't end without the Joseph Joseline and Stevie J saga. The way he disrespects this chick really irks me. Stevie J literally thinks he owns Joseline and she has absolutely no problem with it. Girl.

I guess singer Miguel caught the tea that he should be selling his music instead of releasing a million mix tapes. The singer plans to take a different route when it comes to the release of his sophomore album Kaleidoscope Dreams by releasing it in three parts.

Really? Is Miguel that big of an artist to have people wanting to buy his material three times within weeks of each other. If anything, dragging out the album will cause people to lose interest. Nonetheless, I actually like the songs from the first part of the album which will hit iTunes on July 31st.

Preview the tracks below. Will you be buying Kaleidoscope Dreams?
 

Mateo is giving me Frank Ocean tease on his latest single 'Looking You Up' featuring Stacy Barthe. Mateo reminisces about a lost love and decides to look them up. I love the vocals, harmonies and arrangement of this song. The beat is NICE and gives you a very laid back feel. Mateo is the protege of Alicia Keys hence why this song was produced by Kerry "Krucial" Brothers and Zeke MacUmber.

Mateo releases his mixtape Suite 823 on August 1st. Also look out for his Interscope debut to drop very soon.

Get lost in Looking You Up below.

Shanell drops the latest offering from her mixtape Nobody's Bitch entitled 'These Hoes Is Winning' which features Too Short. Shanell isn't lying either because these hoes are clearly winning these days. In the first verse, Shanell states "I hate to admit it but good girls are no longer in style." Hmmmm, so T.R.U.E. it seems like most guys don't want a girl with morals and class today they want them hoes. Where the hoes at because what you won't do there is another girl waiting in the bushes somewhere to do it. Hoes vs. Ladies. Which one are you? Be Honest!

The song was produced by Mad Decent and Diplo producer Derek "DJA" Allen.  Shanell's latest mixtape is set to drop August 13th. Get into why the hoes are winning below

The shade was really thick yesterday when singing legend Gladys Knight gave her input on the Jackson family saga while co-hosting CBS's 'The Talk'.

Gladys says:

It’s drama, that’s what it is. If you lived up under the microscope as this family does, everybody has dysfunctionality in their families, either one way or the other. See, I’m from the south and [we] was raised in that southern way. You have to understand Paris is what, 14? How old is Janet? Who’s the one who tries to direct the other one here? And I would think that it’s a good thing she let’s Paris know who she is. She is a Jackson, she shouldn’t be putting the business out there like that. Cause people read into whatever they want to read into, that’s how they get the drama. So, she’s just trying to protect her, in a way. But if she [Paris] called me that, she wouldn’t have any teeth...You respect your elders.

I completely agree with Gladys. Janet needs to really put her foot down and get those kids together. Being Michael Jackson's children does not exclude you from punishments or ass whoopings.

Beyonce took to her official website to tease her fans with a mysterious date. The singer posted 'leave your footprint on August 19th 2012' on her site with no additional details. Could this be new music? DVD footage?

I am honestly anticipating new music from Bey. She gives me that extra-ness that I need to get through my day sometimes. On another note, I would appreciate it if her stans don't use this message as an opportunity to bash other artist that didn't utilize Beyonce's time away from the industry to put out new material.

Singer Alicia Keys took to the internet yesterday to introduce a new challenge to coincide with her current single 'New Day'. I actually like the song. Alicia wants you to submit images of what a 'new day' means to you to be a part of a video she is compiling.

Is it me or has Alicia been a new person since marriage and giving birth?

Haven't heard Alicia's new single? Listen here.

Ch. The ish really hit the fan this morning when Michael Jackson's eldest child took to Twitter to blast Janet and the rest of the Jackson family. I am so tired of this drama and I have a strong feeling that the ending result is not going to be what everyone wants especially with Katherine's failing health.

Prince Jackson writes:

I would first like to start off this tweet by thanking the fans that have always stood by me and my family, my dad really appreciated your support and I still treasure it to this day. As I am sure everyone is well aware of the events that have been going on. I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side. As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways. Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt. The following image is of a group chat I had started to several family members. This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn’t know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. “If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth”

-Michael Jackson Jr. (@PrinceMJJJaxon - Verified Account)


The image is of a text message conversation that he sent to the family demanding to talk to their grandmother to which Janet told the other family members to not allow them to. This is getting very interesting.

Singer Kelly Rowland took to the web to let everyone know that she will be releasing her very own watch via TW Steel. Kelly is currently the brand ambassador for the company which brought her in to win over the female audience.

Be sure to follow @TWSteel and check out their Facebook page for contest details.

Kelly Rowland's watch officially launches July 31st.

Actress Lisa Raye looks very nice as she covers next month's issue of BE Magazine. It is no secret that the VH1 series 'Single Ladies' helped to rejuvenate her acting career. Lisa discusses her failed marriage, finding her inner self, and more in the issue.

Why is it so hard for women to move past previous relationships? From K.Michelle to Lisa Raye, it seems like they only want to dwell on the past instead of building their future.

Doesn't Lisa look FAB?

The under performance of her latest album isn't stopping singer Estelle from releasing new videos. The singer has provided us with visuals for her track 'Wonderful Life'. I actually like the video which is very well packaged.

What went wrong with Estelle's last album? The singles she released were radio friendly but her label just didn't want to promote. I would really appreciate it if Estelle would team up with the producers from her debut US album.

Check the visuals below.

Why are they pulling this stunt? According to Tattletailzz.com, the reunion for the hit spinoff series Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta has been cancelled because the cast can't seem to get along. You may recall that this same situation occurred with the original series which resulted in Mona conducting the finale with personal interviews with the ladies.

Which of the cast members are beefing? Did they all get big-headed? The only cast members that I know of that have ongoing drama are Karlie and K.Michelle.

The source says:

It looks like there won’t be any reunion show for the cast of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. Sources say that because LHHA cast members can’t get along, Mona Scott Young is left with no choice but to conduct one on one interviews with each individual from the show – for the LHHA finale.

Singer Keyshia Cole is back with a teaser for the video of her current single 'Enough Of No Love' which features rapper Lil Wayne. The Benny Boom directed clip looks like it may be Keyshia's best video to date.

I am just starting to like the track due mainly to the way it sounds in the car. Keyshia's last album 'Calling All Hearts' was one of my faves.

Preview the video below.

Singer Chris Brown decided to grow some balls this morning and blast the Jackson family about their recent problems that have been in the blogs. From the cops being called to footage leaking of Janet arguing with the kids, it is no secret that a lot is going on with the Jacksons.

Singers Kelly Rowland and Jason Derulo have been busy overseas in Australia working on their new show 'Everybody Dance Now'. The two will audition dance teams that will then compete against each other in weekly dance-offs.

A new trailer for the Australian series has surfaced. I absolutely love the fro that Kelly has been rocking lately.

'Everybody Dance Now' premieres August 16th.

VH1 has revealed the cast for season 2 of Basketball Jumpoffs Wives LA. It looks like season one's cast member Imani won't be returning for the new season. VH1 has opted out for two young chicks to hopefully carry the show.

Many of you may recall Brooke Bailey from rapper Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop' video and also from Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out. Brooke will be joining the show along with Malaysia's childhood friend model Bambi. Bambi is an aspiring model and actress. Neither women have any known association to any 'basketball' players so exactly why are they on the show?

I'm surprised that the actual wives of NBA players haven't filed a lawsuit against VH1 and the producers of the show for false advertisement for labeling the cast as 'basketball wives' when only one or two are married to a player.

Season 2 premieres this September.

Is it me or is he starting to look old? Singer R.Kelly graced the stage on Jimmy Fallon's show to perform his current single 'Feeling Single' last night. I still do not like the song, however his vocals were on point.

Catch the performance below.

Girl. I was rooting for singer Trey Songz for a minute but his material is really repetitive these days. The new video has surfaced from Trey's new track 'Simply Amazing' and I still do not like it. I'm not feeling both of Trey's pierced ears either.

I'm not sure what audience Trey was trying to target with this track. The urban stations will definitely not play it and the pop stations still don't recognize him.

Watch the clip below. Trey's new album Chapter V hits store on August 21st.

I have certainly gained a newfound respect for rapper Wacka Flocka's mom after she spoke the truth to rapper Rasheeda on the last episode of Love & Hip-Hop. Rasheeda finally woke up and realized that she deserves better and decided to seek outside management which could actually be a good move for her. I do disagree with Wacka Flocka's mom about 'Marry Me' not being a hit record though.

Meanwhile, K.Michelle continues to sing the blues about her love life and career.

Am I the only one that didn't know that the father of VH1s Love & Hip-Hop Kimbella newborn baby girl was Juelz Santana. The reality star gave birth over the weekend to a healthy baby girl just a week after her co-star Yandy gave birth.

It looks like singer Ciara may have spent a little time perfecting her craft. Singer/Songwriter tells Kempire Radio in a recent interview:

“It’s very pop. I guess I could say it’s pop and she sounds really good that’s one thing. She’s singing like, I’ve actually never heard Ciara sound so good and I’m not just saying it’s my record I’m very, very proud of her vocal ability on this record that’s pretty much all I can say, but like I was very very happy with the way she did it.”


What is going on with the handling of this project? It appears that Ciara went from one label that didn't promote her the right way to another. I am routing for her but she needs to put her foot down and show the label that she is in control.


Listen to the interview below.

It looks like actress Stacey Dash has fallen victim to boredom since being fired from VH1s Single Ladies. The actress has decided to launch a new singing career by starting it off as a feature. It sounds like Stacey drank a bottle of audio effects in the track titled 'Life of the Party'.

I honestly do not see it for Stacey as a singer. Besides her age, the industry has grown tired of 'gimmicks' and people that label themselves singers just because they have been in a recording booth.

Check out the track below.

Has reality star Jennifer Williams put her ex-hubby Eric behind her and moved on to another man? Rumors are swirling after the former 'basketball wife' tweeted a picture of her and singer Maxwell hanging out.



In all honesty, I have always had my suspicions about Maxwell and which 'team' he plays on. Come on, we know Jen likes to keep her a homosexual man around like the ex of Star Jones. Anyways, will we be seeing 'Industry Wives' anytime soon?

Singer Frank Ocean graced the stage last night in Atlanta for a packed house at Center Stage. The singer is promoting his debut album 'Channel Orange' which was released last week. Frank performed tracks from his new album which included 'Bad Religion', 'Pink Matter', and 'Thinking About You' to name a few.

If you guys were familiar with Frank before he began his solo career, you may know that he is the one that wrote 'I Miss You' from Beyonce's latest album. Screams roared across the crowd as Frank put his own spin on the track.

It surprises me that the women are still screaming and falling out even after Frank admitted his sexual preference.

Singer Mariah Carey took to Twitter today to reveal the title of her new single. The new song, titled 'Triumphant' (Get 'Em), will be released early August and feature rappers Rick Ross and Meek Mill. It has been quite some time since Mariah graced us with her glass shattering vocals.

The news of Mariah's single comes amid the rumors that the singer is closer to joining the judges panel of American Idol. The title of the song is said to be a representation of what a big move that would be for the wife of Nick Cannon. Joining the cast of AI would allow Mariah to be closer at home with her family while also providing a platform for her to promote her new album.

I honestly do not think that joining the panel of American Idol is a good look for Mariah. That's just my opinion.

Sad news. Tameka Raymond has apparently removed her son Kile Glover from life support. You may recall that her son was involved in a jet ski accident earlier this month at Lake Lanier. Various Atlanta radio DJs have sent out tweets expressing their hurt.

Pissed. Reality star Jennifer Williams revealed that she has dropped her lawsuit against former friend Nia Crooks which was the result of a slap she received on last season of the hit VH1 show Basketball Wives. Even though Jen dropped the civil lawsuit, Crooks still faces criminal charges.

VH1 reality show producer Mona Scott seemed pretty passionate when she declared via MTV's 'Rap Fix' that her show 'Love & Hip - Hop ATL' isn't scripted. It is no secret that everyone has pretty much said that the show came off as scripted and serves a very soap opera-ish vibe.

Mona seemed like she could possibly be telling the truth however we must not forget that she is trying to sell a show. She could have used a little make-up too.

On another note, is Stevie J screwing Mona? He seemed to be her cheerleader and worshipper in this interview.

Each episode makes me fall even more in love with Tyler Perry's latest TBS sitcom. The daughter of the late Whitney Houston made her acting debut last night on 'For Better or Worse'. I must say that Bobbi did an outstanding job for this to have been her first acting gig. Honestly, I prefer her acting over her singing.

Nonetheless, I suggest that you guys tune into the series if you haven't already. The show isn't your typical Tyler Perry drama. I will take this show over BET's 'The Game' or VH1's 'Single Ladies' any day.

Tyler Perry's 'For Better or Worse' airs on Friday at 9 PM est!

Why do I feel like Stevie J is slapping Joseline behind closed doors? The way he looks at her at tells her she is going to 'regret' the way she talks to him gives me enough evidence that he punches her harder than Floyd Mayweather does a boxing bag.

Nonetheless, I guess it is safe to assume that Shay 'Buckeyy' Johnson is becoming a regular and could possibly be on the cast new season. Why would she want someone that has so much drama surrounding them? The fact that she is legitimately mad at Erica when she doesn't know her is just ridiculous.

Check out the preview for next week's episode below.

Wow. I actually got excited when watching the clip of former RuPaul Drag Race winner Tyra Sanchez's new documentary. The film, titled 'Drag Dad', will feature the drag superstar and his relationship with his little son. It is about time that someone shed a little light on black homosexual males that are raising kids.

Tyra is hoping that sponsors can help with the funding of the project. I would actually like to see something of this caliber on television. Click here to donate.

There isn't much to say about this show anymore. I'm tired of the scripted scenarios, the Mimi and Stevie J drama is getting late, K.Michelle is still a nobody, and so on.

Catch the latest episode below.

Judging from your comments via Twitter, you guys are feeling Ciara's new track 'Overdose' which surfaced online yesterday. I honestly cannot get into the track. The song just doesn't fit her voice or style to me. My problem with Ciara is that she doesn't want to find her lane. You can't release a super hardcore track like 'Sweat' and follow up with a pop track like 'Overdose' especially when you are trying to rebuild your fan base.

Nonetheless, I am still rooting for this chick and will be purchasing her album.

Check out the snippet below.
 

I find it so funny that K.Michelle continues to push the career she never had nor will have deeper into the ground via her immature ways. The entire purpose of this meeting was pointless because Karlie never talked bad about Kunt Michelle. Okay, she may have stirred a little drama at your events but she spoke the truth.

K.Michelle continues to act like she is above the other ladies on the cast when no one knew who she was before this show. I tried to give her a chance but she is just too much.

Preview the extended scene below.

OK! So I have been absent for a minute preparing for my move so I haven't been blogging as much lately, but once I got the tea I knew I had to spill it. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. I have learned so many things about RHOA and what is really happening behind the scenes. Let's start with the obvious. Is RHOA scripted? Yes and No. The dialogue on the show is never scripted but the scenarios are. From what I hear every cast member have their own producer on the show. These producers feed the information to the cast members letting them know who they are filming with for the day and so on. For example, NeNe and Kim are not getting along right now right? Well Nene's producer will give her a call and tell her to be at this place at this time because she is filming with Kim today and she wants to talk to you. They will meet and that is where the confrontation will rise through the dialogue because obviously they don't like each other at the moment. Got it? Good!

Moving on. What is the REAL reason Sheree got kicked off of RHOA? The reason Sheree got kicked off of RHOA is NOT because she's broke. It's because Sheree couldn't keep up a storyline. From what I was told there are three criteria the women must meet to be on the show. They must either own their own business, be a girlfriend or be a wife. Sheree did not meet any of those storylines. Sheree tried to own her own business with She By Sheree clothing line but we all know how that went. Sheree also was not married nor dating anyone so she got the boot. Now the REAL tea is Bob, Sheree's ex-husband, tried to help her. Reportedly Bob called Sheree and told her "I would do anything you need me to do to keep you on this show' which explains how he got on the show through the child support drama that was drawn out for seasons and seasons. Here's the deal, Bob never owed Sheree child support because the kids lived with him all along which is the reason Sheree was able to buy all those cars, bags and etc and also didn't have furniture for the kids. Bob has custody of the kids and agreed to look like the bad guy just for the sake of trying to save Sheree's job which in all didn't work out. Sorry Sheree!  Moving on.

Ms. Leneathia Leakes. Well Nene has been the standout star of RHOA since day one. We have all heard about her battles with divorcing Greg and her son getting locked up. Her son is in his twenties so he's an adult and must make his own mistakes. I don't fault Nene for teaching him tough love because he needs it. In a way I think he's just acting out for attention from Nene. Also,  Greg is not going  anywhere and never went anywhere. My thing about Nene is that there has recently been a little rumor that she and Kandi got into a physical altercation. I am happy to report that is NOT true. However, they did get into an altercation with the production team. Reportedly, Kandi got into a verbal altercation with someone on the production team about a specific matter and so did Nene. Allegedly NeNe hit one of the member of the production team NOT Kandi. Now is Nene going to get fired? Nope! Bravo KNOWS that Nene is the main character on the show so there is no way they will let her go. If NeNe leaves RHOA then there is pretty much no more RHOA so they are going to do any and everything to keep her even when she is wrong.

Fans of newcomer Marlo might be pretty upset. Marlo IS coming back but her role will be even smaller than last season. Why you ask? Before I get into it I just want to say I had the pleasure to meet with Marlo for a VERY brief minute. In that minute from what I gathered, she is a very humble and sweet human being. Everybody has a past and no one is perfect including those of you reading this. The producers caught wind of something that happened in Marlo's past where she got into an altercation with a young lady and slashed her face up. The lady eventually went on to commit suicide later on in her life. The producers stated to Marlo that everyone was appalled by that and they couldn't have someone on the show with a reputation like that. Marlo stated the girl committed suicide because of other reasons. Also, Marlo IS NOT the big whore people think she is. Reportedly Marlo does NOT escort or sleep around as the rumors report. Marlo actually got all her money from a older white man who she allegedly dated in her past. She will be on the new season but if you blink you just might miss her.

Now a little scoop on Season 5 of the RHOA. The ladies have started production on Season 5 and here's to hoping it's better than the previous two seasons because we all know they were a bore fest. Everyone is wondering who the new housewives will consist of this season.  I have seen Kenya Moore shooting the new season. I am not sure if she is an actual housewife or they are just testing her out but she does make an appearance on this season. Also Keisha Knight Pulliam DOES make an appearance on this season however she is NOT joining the cast. Keisha tweeted stating that she is not joining the cast as a new housewife but she never said she's not appearing. Finally another young lady shooting is 112's member Q Parker's wife (I don't know her name). Reportedly, the new season is still in early stages so they are still actually casting girls to find a perfect match.

I leave you with this last bit of exclusive tea I was told. I won't say any names but a certain YouTube sensation will be on the new season. The sensation is brought on the show to shake things up and I hear he is doing just that. By the way ladies, how is your hair today? Catch it!

Singer Elle Varner finally got her 'refill' and decided to move on to a new single ahead of her August album release date. The singer dropped 'I Don't Care' moments ago to which she sings about the issues between her and her boo.

Unlike the rest of Elle's material, I think I will have to let this one grow on me.

Elle's freshman album 'Perfectly Imperfect' hits stores August 7th.

I honestly think I have became a bigger fan of R.Kelly's ex-wife Andrea from her VH1 reality show than I am of his. I just have not been feeling Kelly's new tracks from this latest album. The singer returns with the visuals for his current single 'Feelin' Single' which has been blazing the airwaves lately.

On another note, what happened to the 'Trapped In The Closet' series that he said he would bring back?

I am so excited to hear Gwen Stefani's voice on a new track. The singer has teamed back up with her group No Doubt for their new single 'Settle Down'. The song is the first that the group has produced in over 11 years which makes it extra special.

The song is classic No Doubt but serves the punch to make a nice dent in the charts.

Are you feeling the groups new track?
