Here Disturbing Tha Peace’s Bobby Valentino can be heard on his possible new single ‘Sexy Girl’ for his forthcoming third studio album. I admit I was in favor of a couple songs off Bobby V.’s previous album, Special Occasion, even though I found some of the material a little bland for my tastes. ‘Sexy Girl’ is the same in this case, I don’t know what it is with him, his voice is oh so boring at times. But I will - definitely - be checking for him come this album, he doesn’t completely disappoint in my opinion. In other Bobby V. news: isn’t he going to be co-staring with Ciara in that new TBA Broadway movie Mama, I Wanna Sing?

R&B singer Mario will be one of 12 celebrity performers on ABC’s top-rated Dancing with the Stars when it returns in its 6th season premiere March on 17, 2008.

“I’ve never done ballroom dancing, but I’ll be ready. Everywhere I go, I represent my city, Baltimore,” he said. “And coming from a place where success stories for youth are few and far between, I see my involvement in Dancing with the Stars as a chance for me to show millions of viewers what hard work and dedication can accomplish. This is the story of my life. When my manager called me to talk me about being on the show, he knew what my first answer was going to be. But then I came to notice that the show gave viewers a chance to get to know the performer behind the costume - and I liked that. I like the fact that I will be carrying the torch for my generation. And, I also like the fact that I will be doing it with such a diverse and accomplished cast of other performers this year. This is definitely a challenge, but I’ve had challenges all my life. At the end of the day, if you dedicate yourself, there’s nothing you can’t do. This is just another way for me to express myself, and we’re going to be amazing.”

Mario’s dance partner will be Karina Smirnoff, who has danced in previous seasons with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and actor Mario Lopez. If you’re interested in seeing who else will be participating in the show, follow the link below. CONTINUE READING

Wow, this is kind of awkward. I never thought in a million years, that the words video, premiere and Paula Abdul would co-exist within the same sentence! But believe it or not, here is the “video premiere” of Paula Abdul’s new video for that stupid ass song “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow.” The video features cameos from Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest, and Simon Cowell. Peep the video at 03:26 … see anything wrong? The first person who sees what I see gets a free [1] copy of “Abdulmatic!”

[1] I don’t even think they’ll be able to GIVE that album away…

[ THANKS JANET WORLD! ]

OMG, my new favourite quote of all time: “HEY, BITCHES!” - Janet Jackson LOL at them using Ciara’s picture at 00:57 instead of Janet’s, and that’s NOT ab’s (Ciara). THIS is ab’s (Janet), Perezinator!

‘Let Me Know’ is a Japanese bonus track written by Ne-Yo from Janet Jackson’s new album Discipline (Island) in stores February the 26th!

Def Jam’s Karina Pasian is the truth! I wasn’t really checking for her when I heard that ‘With You’ remix a long time ago but after I heard ‘16 At War’ I fell in love! Seeing how The-Dream wrote this song I’m not surprised at all about my immediate liking to it. This song is so relative at today’s age, it also would’ve been a good song for me when I was 16, it really would’ve helped. I think I grew up too fast during that time but then again I’m kinda glad I did. It made me a little smarter and wiser to say the least. Not to say I smoked or anything, but I was pressured so much and then made fun of, even when my mom couldn’t afford namebrand clothing. I still wore namebrand but not every single day like the rest of the kids, I often wondered how they could afford it living in the ghetto (becos I sure as hell couldn’t afford it). But anyway I’m glad I didn’t do any of that, most of the people I went to school with are now dead, in jail, or have babies — so thank God.
