Singer/Actress Michelle Williams looked every bit of hot last night in Los Angeles during the premiere for Lifetime's newest film Call Me Crazy. Michelle rocked a nice evening dress with nude pumps on the red carpet for the film which stars Jennifer Hudson.

Michelle is currently gearing up for the release of her fourth solo studio album which is due in stores this Summer. Michelle has been very busy in LA between breaks from touring with the hit Broadway musical Fela.








 Are you ready for Michelle's new album?

While other singers are busy canceling tours and beefing via Twitter, Keri Hilson is busy plotting her comeback. According to producer Danja, singer Keri Hilson is gearing up for her first music release since her 2010 No Boys Allowed release.

As if sampling singer Aaliyah wasn't enough for his career, rapper Drake released a new track via his official Soundcloud page at midnight which samples Destiny's Child 1999 hit 'Say My Name'. No word on whether the new track, titled 'Girls Love Beyonce' and featuring James Fauntleroy, is Drake's new single or not.

I actually like the track. I love that Drake does things and doesn't care what people may think about it. Who would have pictured any rapper sampling an old DC track?

Drake is currently working on his third studio album.

Who died and made Tyrese king of anything? Tyrese has been annoying me for years with some of the things that he says and things aren't getting any better. The singer/actor had some choice words for overweight individuals during a recent interview.

Tyrese tells AllHipHop.com:

“No two situations are the same. If you are fat and nasty and you don’t like the way you look, do something about it. It’s simple,” he explains. 

“When you take a shower and you put your fat, nasty body in the shower and by the time you get out, the mirrors are all steamed up so you don’t look at what you did to yourself. That may sound offensive or insensitive but ultimately, you are big as hell because you have earned that [expletive],” he continues. 

While the point he was trying to get across might have been accurate, the way he expressed his thoughts were completely disrespectful.

I'm not going to pretend that I was checking for singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger prior to the release of his new mixtape. Eric steps into the spotlight with his highly anticipated mix tape titled Born II Sing Vol.III which features contributions from Sevyn, Tank, and more.

I do have a few favorites from the 13-track mix-tape that include 'Film Me' and 'Bed Medicine'.

According to iTunes, singer Ciara is no longer titling her new album 'One Woman Army' anymore. In an unexpected move, the album went up for pre-sale via the web this morning and is now titled Ciara. The album has suffered numerous setbacks due to the lack of success of her singles and label changes. The album is now scheduled for release on July 9th (not June 4th).

Noticeably absent from the track listing are lead singles 'Sorry' and 'Got Me Good' which garnered a lot of attention last year.

Track listing:
1. I'm Out
2. Sophomore
3. Body Party
4. Keep On Lookin'
5. Read My Lips
6. Where You Go
7. Super Turnt Up
8. DUI
9. Livin' It Up
10. Overdose
11. Bonus Track



Have you lost interest in Ciara's new project?

Real Housewives of Atlanta newcomer Porsha Stewart was not having it with the disrespect of her now estranged husband Kordell Stewart. Porsha expressed her frustration with the ladies regarding their actions during their trip to Las Vegas.

'My husband loves me to the core. I love him so much but what I have to do as a wife is consider my husband because I'm a housewife. I feel like you ladies should uplift a young wife and a marriage,' says Porsha.

Beyonce showed no signs of being bothered by the naysayers as she arrived in Belgrade last night to kick out her The Mrs.Carter Show world tour. Beyonce was spotted arriving via private jet with tons of luggage. There were no signs of Bey's daughter Blue Ivy who is expected to travel the world with her mommy.



Beyonce's tour, which lasts until August, is preceded with no new single or album.

In other news, Beyonce has announced that she will team up with Goodwill for the tour. Though not many details were released, I assume that fans are expected to bring gently worn clothing items to the venues for charity.

'Goodwill helps people get back to work by providing education, job training and placement. I wanted to team up with an organization that puts people first and works everyday to help them improve and re-establish their lives,' she says via her official website.

Solange Knowles made a surprise guest appearance during The XX's performance at Coachella over weekend. Solange teamed up with the group to perform her track 'Locked in Closets' from her True EP in addition to a cover of Aaliyah's 'Hot Like Fire' track.

While it wasn't her best vocal performance, I was excited to see Solange on the stage at the festival. Hopefully next year she can headline her own set for the many concert goers that come out to party and have a good time.

Welp! It looks like Jada Pinkett Smith is tired of the bullish*t that the blogs are spreading about her marriage. It is no secret that the rumor mill has been swirling for years about Jada and her husband Will Smith having an open marriage. Things got a tad bit juicier a few weeks ago when Jada stated that Will is a grown man and can do whatever he wants when she was asked about the topic during an interview.

Jada took to her official Facebook page to offer clarity on the subject at hand stating:

Open marriage?

Let me first say this, there are far more important things to talk about in regards to what is happening in the world than whether I have an open marriage or not. I am addressing this issue because a very important subject has been born from discussions about my statement that may be worthy of addressing.

The statement I made in regard to, "Will can do whatever he wants," has illuminated the need to discuss the relationship between trust and love and how they co-exist.

Do we believe loving someone means owning them? Do we believe that ownership is the reason someone should "behave"? Do we believe that all the expectations, conditions, and underlying threats of "you better act right or else" keep one honest and true? Do we believe that we can have meaningful relationships with people who have not defined nor live by the integrity of his or her higher self? What of unconditional love? Or does love look like, feel like, and operate as enslavement? Do we believe that the more control we put on someone the safer we are? What of TRUST and LOVE?

Should we be married to individuals who can not be responsible for themselves and their families within their freedom? Should we be in relationships with individuals who we can not entrust to their own values, integrity, and LOVE...for us???

Here is how I will change my statement...Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so. This does NOT mean we have an open relationship...this means we have a GROWN one.

Siempre,
J

I don't understand why people are so fascinated with their marriage. It's even funnier that a majority of the people that are concerned about their relationship are single. Ch.

The original interview that sparked the controversy is below.

I guess throwing a little shade is the best way to get your face back in the public spotlight [cc - Stacey Dash]. Former CBS Young & the Restless actress Victoria Rowell is blasting the network which is responsible for her successful career.

'CBS Young & the Restless turns 40. No black executive producers hired in 40 years. WHY support what doesn't support you? No to Proctor & Gamble,' she tweeted.

Victoria didn't stop with just a few tweets. The actress, who starred on the show for 14 years, goes on to form a petition against the network and the shows executives.

While I agree that Victoria has a point, it seems that all of this is stemming from anger with her on/off again history with the show. Victoria once called out the lack of diversity behind-the-scenes of the show back in 2007 which prompted network executives to have the head writer kill off her character. Victoria felt as though the lack of diversity hindered her chances of receiving a Daytime Emmy.

Miguel shows no signs of slowing down with the promo for his latest album. Miguel took to NBC's Saturday Night Live to perform his tracks 'Adorn' and 'How Many Drinks' which both appear on Kaleidoscope Dreams.

Chills. Miguel gave me everything that I needed vocally from any live performance. Did I mention how incredible his band sounds?

There is no denying that Miguel is the modern day Prince. Kudos!

Only Usher could suit up and make riding a motorcycle even more sexier. The singer and judge of NBC's The Voice was spotted riding his custom motorcycle in LA over the weekend. Usher received the bike as a gift from writer/producer Rico Love who penned the Usher's hit 'There Goes My Baby' single.

Usher has received great reception since replacing Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo on the new season of The Voice.
