If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past year, you should know that Mindless Behavior, comprised of teenagers Prodigy, Princeton, Roc Royal and Ray Ray, have collectively made the world stop and pay attention to what they’re doing as the biggest break-out R&B group of the new decade.

Known for their hit singles “My Girl” and “Mrs. Right,” and more recently “Girls Talkin Bout,” Mindless Behavior was put together in Los Angeles in 2008 by Keisha Gamble (who is still their manager today), Walter Millsap (who has previously worked with artists such as Beyonce and Timbaland) and producer Vincent Herbert (Lady Gaga, Toni Braxton) after an audition process.

They not only trained extensively in dance and singing, but also developed themselves as artists for two years before releasing their debut single “My Girl” in 2010. And within months, the teen R&B/Pop sensations (at only 13 years old) were already performing on big national TV shows like the “Today” show.

On September 20th 2011, Mindless Behavior released their debut album “#1 Girl,” which opened on the Billboard 200 album chart at an impressive No. 7.

Having already previously toured with major acts like Justin Bieber, the Backstreet Boys and even Janet Jackson (as her sole opening act), Mindless Behavior flexed their touring muscles once again this summer by headlining the first ever BET Closer to My Dreams Tour alongside fellow newcomers Diggy Simmons, Lil Twist, Tyga and others.

Now the group is headlining another major tour: the legendary “Scream Tour,” which has been regenerated with up and coming acts like their former BET tour-mate Diggy, Jacob Latimore, Hamilton Park and the OMG Girlz.

With the group continuing their journey to success, just before they hit the stage in Atlanta last week, the talented group of 14-year-olds took some time out of their hectic touring schedule to talk to Gossip On This about touring, girls, their favorite boy bands, how Michael Jackson and others inspire them, school, what they do in their free time when they’re not touring and making music, and more!

Watch the full interview below:

If the name Drew Sidora sounds familiar it should, because she was on the hit sitcom “The Game” and played a major role in the big Derwin/Melanie break-up. She has also played in countless roles on television and not to mention on the big screen. Something you also might not know about her is that she is really a singer, as portrayed in her role on “The Game.”

In December 2008, Drew signed a recording contract with Slip-N-Side Records, which is home to hip-hop heavyweights Rick Ross, Trina and Plies, and Drew is the very first female pop act in the history of the independent Miami-based label. Now, in 2010, Drew Sidora is gearing up for the release of her debut album this fall and is now promoting one of the album’s lead singles “Juke It,” an infectious pop dance anthem that honors the culture and movement created in her hometown of Chicago.

In our exclusive interview with Ms. Sidora, we discuss a range of topics including her beginnings in music, her musical influences, which character on “The Game” she feels like she identifies the most with and more! We also touched a bit on her new album and what she’s looking for in a man. For more on Drew Sidora, check out our exclusive interview below!

SHONIE GOSSIPONTHIS.COM SHOUT-OUT!

Hailing from Miami, Florida, Shonie, one of Def Jam’s newest signees, says she first wanted to be in the music industry when she was 11 years old. Even though she recorded her first song when she was a mere 9 years old, it was that first performance 2 years later that did it for her. And while you may not know exactly who Shonie is right now, given due time you will definitely remember her name.

Having worked with artists such as Trina, Danity Kane, Day 26, Flo Rida and more, she’s definitely had her foot in the door, if not her whole leg, long before signing her official contract with Slip-N-Slide Records.

Citing influences such as Betty White and Lauryn Hill, her sound is very eclectic and is definitely something the industry today needs. Be on the lookout for Shonie when she drops her debut album, titled Passionate Pieces of Me, later this year. But until then, check out our exclusive interview with this hot up and coming singer so you can get a better idea of who she is!

Gossip On This’ founder & editor-in-charge Dustin Gary caught up with rapper Nelly this past Saturday (Feb. 28th) in Charlotte, NC at the 2009 CIAA Ford Fan Experience. We were originally scheduled to have 5 – 10 minutes with the St. Louis rapper, but due to unfortunate circumstances, our time was cut short (to only about 3 questions). We talked about his new TV show and we also got him to open up a bit about the situation between Chris Brown and Rihanna.

NELLY SPEAKS ON THE CHRIS BROWN/RIHANNA SITUATION:

“I think that people need to allow them to allow them to handle that situation themselves,” Nelly told Gossip On This exclusively. “I think until the facts and everything comes out, we need to allow them to deal with that themselves and understand that they’re young and people make mistakes.”

We didn’t get a chance to ask him if he had seen the photo, but at this point, who hasn’t seen it? Continue reading for an entire transcript of the interview!

Dustin: I hear you’re pitching a tv show to a few major networks, can you tell us a bit about that?

Nelly: You know what? If you look at a lot of late-night talk shows, and things of that nature, no one really speaks from inside of the pop culture. Everyone speaks at it and kind of gives their own opinion. But my show is just about someone being involved and coming out and having a voice. I kind of want to bring back that old Arsenio Hall energy, where people used to just rush home and watch it, you know? Something more to that nature.

Dustin: Okay, Snoop premiered his show last week on MTV and he featured a lot of celebrities. Do you plan on doing something like that for your show?

Nelly: Yeah that’s exactly what my show is. It’s going to have the best interviews, the best performances, you know what I’m saying? Good luck to my man Snoop by the way.Mine is live from Vegas and I think there’s enough room out there for everybody.

Dustin: Have you heard about what’s been going on with Chris Brown and Rihanna?

Nelly: What you mean?

Dustin: About the alleged fight or situation that happened between them…

Nelly: I think that people need to allow them to allow them to handle that situation themselves. You feel what I’m saying? I think until the facts and everything comes out, we need to allow them to deal with that themselves and understand that they’re young and people make mistakes.

Dustin: Alright, thank you Nelly, I appreciate it.

Nelly: No doubt.

Danity Kane may be over for now, but Dawn Richard is definitely optimistic about the future! We chopped it up with the singer a couple of weeks ago (the day of the big “Danity Kane is no longer…” announcement) and we talked about everything ranging from her new Danity Kane Comics gig, to her relationship with Qwanell Mosely from Day 26, all the way down to President Obama’s Inauguration! This interview is definitely a good read for any Dawn Richard / Danity Kane fan and anyone who would love to know what’s going on outside of the group’s break-up drama.
