Update On Solange's Upcoming Album

This one is for those who care

Solange Knowles has set a release date for her upcoming sophmore release, 'Sol-Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams' (I really like that name though), which is slated for August 23. It includes production by Cee-Lo, Mark Ronson, Pharrell- who produced her first single 'I Decided' which she recently shot the video for which is directed by Melina, Q-Tip and Raphael Saadiq. Other songs included on this album are 'Cosmic Journey', 'Wanna Go Back' featuring Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry, 'Same Song' which features British sensation Estelle, 'Different Man' and 'Champagne Chronic Nightcap' featuring Lil Wayne. She also pays tribute to Marvin gaye on 'Ode To Marvin', does her own version of 'What's Goin On', 'T.O.N.Y.', 'Sandcastle Disco' and 'Would've Been The One'.
Her first album 'Solo Star' reached No. 23 and sold 112, 000 copies to date.

She should just start "leaking" tracks like everybody else, that will probably sell more records.

Alicia Live

Alicia Keys light up Rockefeller Plaza this monday. Check her out performing her singles 'No One' and 'Teenage Love Affair', she also speaks about her upcoming ventures, her inspiration for the 'Teenage Love Affair' video and her Blender interview:





Gotta love her!!

kanYe's After Party- But Where Are The Black People?

kanYe West had his after party for his 'Glow In The Dark' tour stop at GOA in Hollywood:










*whispering* I don't see black people

Who Wore It Better?



It looks like purple is heavy this season. Victoria Beckham wore this dress in L.A. for a day of shopping and The Dutchess Fergie wore this Dolce & Gabbana number inManhattan while shopping at Cartier.

Who wore it better?

UPDATE: Orlando Needed To Be Alone


Orlando is now apologizing for dissapearing and worrying folks. He says he "needed to be alone." He thanked fans for the support and said it was not a hoax he just "felt a little lost and needed to get away." Well I guess the spotlight burn holes through certain people... sometimes it gets too hot.
He also says "It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone".
Well glad your safe and I definetely feel you

Photoshoot Fabulosity: Rihanna Does Gucci

Rihanna models Gucci for an upcoming issue of Us Weekly:




And of course she gave us her signature exotic look:


Love it! Stay Fab :)

Estelle Gets Her Shine On & First Cover

Estelle covers bleu magazine and looks quite eccentric and fly while doing so:




Here's what she says about the Lauryn Hill comparisons:

"I think they compare me to her (Lauryn Hill) because I'm dark-skinned and I sing and rap. But, if they're saying the music is just as great, then compare me all day because I'll be really happy about that."

It's okay hun, accept the comparison's because the things we'll do and give for Ms. Hill right now.


She was also recently spotted wearing braces at an event, I see her label put their foot down.

More Divorces



Ahhh man! Swizz Beats and his wife of four years, singer Mashonda is getting a divorce. Here's the scoop from the rep, they didn't want to specify the reason but said this:

"The split was “on amicable terms.”“Their union was one shared in love and deep admiration for one another. For the last seven months, the two have been working on establishing a formidable friendship, being great parents to their son, and remaining great supporters of each other's careers,” a representative told AllHipHop.com. “The couple has asked that their privacy be respected at this time.”Despite a looming divorce, the pair will move forward with their entrepreneurial and musical efforts.Swizz is presently working on a follow-up album to his 2007 sophomore CD, One Man Band Man.Mashonda is expected to launch an upscale swimwear line, a new venture in music, and hopes to found an arts-based school for children."

Damn, just when we thought it was safe.

Let's All Act Shocked: "Really?"



So after Robert Curry, of Day 26 put on a show for Facebook- he is now denying he is engaged and said that he and June Thirst-bucket exchanged "friendship" rings.

Yeah, umm, we don't believe you..... anyway let's head back to the A-List

Have You Seen Him?



Orlando Brown, most known for his role as Raven Baxter's best friend on the Disney Channel hit show 'That's So Raven' has appearantly gone missing. His publicist, Elayne Rivers, is putting it out there that Orlando has been missing since yesterday. She says his family is very concerned as he has never gone this long without contacting someone. He left his manager’s house in Studio City early yesterday morning to go to a nearby 7 Eleven, and hasn’t been heard from since. He even missed his full day of meetings yesterday. Sadly, this is the most he's been talked about during his 13 year career (Bow Wow, you're not alone).

I really hope everything's okay...

So Mariah Is Preserving Her Sexy?



So I guess the newly crowned Queen doesn't want to mess up her figure. When asked if children were any where in her future MiMi responded saying:

“It’s hard to have kids in this world. I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it.” Carey said having children would leave her feeling “violated… I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am. For now I enjoy my dog Jack’s company. It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby.” (Boo-Boo, your pushing 40)

Well... I guess it's hard to have someone more obsessed with butterfly's than you are.

Here's what else has been coming out of her butterfly lips lately:

"Honestly, there has been so many, (comparison's to Leona Lewis)'This is the new her,' and I'm like, 'OK, show me the new her. Can she come and work for me and be my double?' And I'm not particular talking about this girl Leona, because I only heard her once and I didn't really hear a true similarity, particularly in the style of music. It is what it is and critics have compared me to so many people who are not really singers, and they're certainly not writers".

A tad defensive are we?

It's FINALLY Here!!

Finally Alicia Keys has gave us her third single off of her multi-platinum album... Teenage Love Affair. Check it out:


I don't really like it, but I like her so it's okay

Usher, Wayne & Beyonce "Makes Love In The Club"


I guess Usher is taking this number 1 single and running with it. He has now remixed it but this time it's with Beyonce & Lil Wayne, I don't really like this but it reminds me how much we will miss B once she retires. Check it out here

What you think??

A Nightcap

We're going to end the night with the wedding photo's of Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict which took place yesterday Santa Barbara, CA and Tamara Mowry served as the maid of honor:


Pure fabulosity.... I wonder where's Taj (formally of Smart Guy, who is also their younger brother) and did the cast of 'The Game' come out?

Good night and Stay Fab :)

Mariah Tells Her "Love Story"

MiMi has officially stated that her next single is going to be 'Love Story'. I like this song but it sounds very 'Teenage Love Affair' (Alicia Keys) to me. Same thing- grown ass people talking about young love/first love.... the melody is also very reminiscent to 'Stay Down' (Mary J. Blige) and the beginning/ending- with the repetition- sounds very "Bone Thugz n' Harmony".... but I guess when you mix all those sounds you get your own.

Still... fab :)

Black Mail!

For this edition of Black Mail we will do- who else but the joke of the moment?

So Omarion used to be a hair model?

Who Needs A Good Laugh?

Come on guys... this ish right here is goin to split your pants open!!



Hilarity!

Voice Lessons Pay Off



Our favorite fashionista, Rihanna, definitely has been taking advantage of the voice lessons she is now deep in and so desperately needed.

Check her out before the deal

*clearing throat*

Word Columbia?


Columbia seems to be dropping artists from left to right. First Omarion got the boot and now Amerie has left the building. She left the label after it just never seemed to be working out. They didn't do her right on that last album I'll say that! It got a European release but never came out in the states. She is know talking to L.A. Reid over at Def Jam, hopefully that works out and maybe she could put O on. DAMN. I'm just waiting for the official word on Ms. Kelly because I KNOW it's coming. Don't fret my dear.... Music World Music is here!

Nas Says "Be A Nigger Too"


Nas single for his album 'Nigger' is here. 'Be A Nigger Too' . I love it! He brings the controversy for sure but never dishonest. Like his wife Kelis said: You dont have to like me but you must respect me! AMEN

Video Fabulosity

Cassie was spotted on the set of her new video for 'Thirsty', I'm just damn happy she ain't releasing that sad excuse of a lead single 'Official Girl'. Diddy you did the right thing:

Alicia was also on the set of her new video for 'Teenage Love Affair':
