According to reports, singer Rihanna will be debuting her second single “The Wait Is Ova” a few weeks before the November 23rd release of her album, Rated R. Producers Stargate and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen commented on the selection when they found out:

“We were just told that they go for ‘The Wait Is Ova’  as next single and that it will launch in a few weeks before the album release. It means a lot to us to be a part of a single-release in this format. … Our song is pretty a typical Rihanna and has a much harder sound than ‘Russian Roulette.’”

It also seems like Rihanna is starting the promo train already! She has been added to the performance line up for the 2009 American Music Awards on November 22nd, a day before her album release. Also slated to perform are Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert, whose debut CD also debuts on November 23rd.

The paparazzi spotted R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo outside of his hotel Monday afternoon (Sep 14) in New York City.

Ne-Yo is currently in the middle of shooting a film and its production schedule prohibits him from being able to travel to Mobile, AL to perform for the 15th Annual BayFest Music Festival next month, so Ludacris will be filling him for him. T-Pain, Akon, Anita Baker and lots more are scheduled to perform at the concert, which is set to be held Octber 2nd – 4th in the streets of Downtown Mobile, Alabama.

Rapper Kanye West offered Joe Jackson a sip from his bottle of Henny before last night’s VMAs. The bottle apparently made its way around the audience because Pete Wentz was also spotted drinking straight from the community bottle. Looks like Kanye and Amber were trying to get everybody a little loose!

Kid Cudi and Wale performed as a part of the official house band during commercial breaks/intermissions.

Lady Gaga accepted her award for “Best New Artist” from a shocked Eminem. We would love to know what he was thinking when he saw her in that outfit!

R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo felt a little under the weather when he took the stage Thursday night (Jul 16) in Manchester, U.K. And out of frustration for not being able to complete the show, the “Miss Independent” singer broke down in tears roughly an hour into the gig.

“I’ve never completed a show … I’ve never done this before,” he said as he wiped away his tears. “I want to say … I want to thank y’all for bearing with me as long as y’all did, I appreciate that.”

Apparently he was sick from the jump and decided to go on stage anyway. But after an hour of performing, he just couldn’t take it anymore and apologized to his fans, who gave him a mixed reaction of cheering/applause and boos.

“Trust me when I say I will be back,” he said before leaving the arena. “I will be back. I love y’all.”

The next day (Friday Jul 17) the bloggers and the media alike went in on him calling him a crybaby and denouncing his manhood. Continue reading to peep the video of him crying and his response!
