The ladies of Danity Kane celebrated the release of their sophomore album Welcome to the Dollhouse with a second album release party, held at The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio in Vegas. And if you’ve been keeping up with headlines surrounding this record-breaking female group, then you’d know that they have many reasons to celebrate! One big one being that the album mentioned above debuted at #1 last week on the Billboard 200, with 236,000 albums sold! The album’s predecessor, 2006’s DK, sold 234,000 copies (2,000 less) also debuted on the Billboard 200 at #1.

And Music World Music does it again! I swear, that management team has some crazy ideas when it comes to marketing their talent. Most people do radio promos, interviews, and commercials, among other things. But no, not Mathew Knowles and the rest of his crew. They decided to leak a song Beyonce’s been working on because they knew that shit will spread like the bird flu in the Middle East. Had they leaked a song from Kelly, Michelle, or Solange … it probably wouldn’t have even seen the light of day. Sad … but true.

FROM Beyonceonline.com: Yesterday, “Beautiful Nightmare,” a demo I’ve been working on for possible inclusion on my next album, leaked on some websites. I want to thank all my fans for the positive response to the song, but I want to tell you that this is just a work in progress. It is not my time to put out new music. If you really want to hear some really great music now, you have to support my girls Kelly, Michelle and my sister Solange. Kelly just re-released her album digitally in the US, so check out “Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe.” Michelle is about to put out the first single, “We Break The Dawn,” from her album and Solange’s single, “I Decided,” is already one of my favorites.

We don’t believe you Beyonce, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!

J.Lo gets People and Fancy has to settle for Jet. Go figure. Anyway, Garcelle Beauvais and her twin boys, Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas Nilon, are featured on the cover of the March 31st 2008 issue of Jet Magazine. Now before you start raising eyebrows, this is their POPS. I can’t wait to see what Halle’s 3% African American daughter looks like!

And while we’re on the subject of mothers and their kids’ mugs on magazines: When is National Geographic gonna pick up Tameka and her youngin’?

The streets are talking! And they don’t have many good things to say about Usher’s new wifey Tameka. Word on the sidewalk is that home girl was acting up on the set of her husband’s new video for In This Club. You see, Usher made two big mistakes. Mistake #1: Hiring Tameka as the stylist for his video. Mistake #2 (but technically not really a mistake): Hiring Keri Hilson as the leading lady; someone who is much more beautiful than that Tameka creature whom he calls “wife.” Anyway, a spy for Page Six let the cat out of the bag, and revealed all of the dirt that you’d never hear come from the mouths of neither Usher nor his PR team. Peep the dirt below…

Foster was “domineering” and displayed her trademark “Tameka wrath” during a video shoot for Usher’s new song, “Love in the Club,” the weekend of March 15 in LA. Our on-set source said Foster was upset when she found out stunning singer/songwriter Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest in the video.

“It was supposed to be a sexy video shoot,” our spy said. “And Tameka was there the entire time guarding like a watchdog. It was ridiculous – she knows Keri and knows she’s no video ho or Karrine Steffans.” Steffans, nicknamed “Superhead,” wrote the book, “Video Vixen,” about her alleged flings with Usher and several other artists.

“Tameka is very insecure,” our source said. “Even in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly – she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn’t let Keri have her hairdresser there – she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras.”

Foster also took a dislike to Usher’s longtime choreographer, Jamaica, and banned her from the set. When Usher and Foster were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week, “They barely said one word to each other,” we’re told.

Bitchassness, indeed!

Meet new artist VERBZ (or Verse), a Shopaholic emcee originally from London, England. Born to a Jamaican daddy and South American mother Natalia ‘Verbz’ Cappuccini, 21, is a hybrid of quite a few cultures; that including hip hop. I love this girl, the moment I clicked onto her MySpace page I felt a young, fresh, quirky aura – with sophistication. Shopaholic is fun and catchy, Swaggeriffic is self-explanatory, Dangerous has strikingly enticing beat, Heaven is a mild and melodic tune with much significance that meets the ear.

Another rapper made a trip to the courthouse today, but received slightly worse news. Rapper Remy Ma, who was accused of intentionally shooting her ex-best friend and stylist over $3,000 back in the summer of 2007 was found guilty of intentional assault, which can be punished by up to 25 years in prison. The jury acquitted Remy of charges of intimidating a witness in the case.

According to the NY Times, 26-year-old Remy “Remy Ma” Smith, kept her composure as Justice Rena K. Uviller ordered her to prison, until her sentencing next month. And it wasn’t until court officers closed the door to the courtroom holding cell behind her that she broke down, screaming, “My son! My son!” over and over again. Her lawyer, Ivan S. Fisher, later revealed that the rapper hadn’t said goodbye to her 8-year-old son that morning. She believed that she would win the case. And now, she might be in her 40s or 50s when she’s released from prison.

Rapper T.I. pleaded guilty to federal weapons possession charges in court today (Mar. 27th), and will receive a sentence that includes prison time after he completes community service. In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, Clifford “T.I.” Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs. According to officials, the CEO of Grand Hustle Entertainment will be sentenced to serve 1 year in prison after completing the community service. His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, they added. Dressed in a grey business suit, the rapper expressed to the judge that he understands the terms of the agreement.

“I’d like to thank God for blessing me with a second chance in life and success,” T.I. said to the media. “I’m looking forward to turning this negative time in my life into a positive. I know I have a long road of redemption to travel.”

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said that in addition to the 1 year prison sentence and the 1,500 hours of community service, T.I. will have to serve 3 years of supervised home detention (house arrest) and pay a $100,000 fine. That’s a far cry of the original sentence, which amounted to close to or more than 20 years! But if he “fails to fulfill his obligations,” a much longer sentence will be the consequence.
