Pop diva Janet Jackson recently wrapped production on her latest film, Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Too,” and announced via her newly launched Twitter page that she’s heading back to studio to work on her 11th album!
I just finished working on the film, “Why Did I Get Married Too.” I’m looking forward to getting started on my new album!
The photo above was rumored to be a new promo shot for the singer’s upcoming album, but this site has proven that to be completely false. In fact, that picture is just a photoshopped image of an old picture of Janet. She hasn’t even hit the studio yet for this new album, so how the heck would she have promo shots already? But kudos to whoever made that pic … it looks good!

Here’s a video of Miley Cyrus aka “Hannah Montana” performing her new single, “Party In the USA,” at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. This performance apparently caused a lot of hoopla due to her allegedly “pole dancing” during the song. We hadn’t watched the performance until just now but we didn’t notice any pole dancing.
At one point, she did a couple of dance moves on top of an ice cream stand, which happened to have a pole on top of it … but pole dancing? C’mon people. If you seriously thought she was pole dancing like a stripper, you should definitely get your arms checked. They might be a bit too long if you’re able to reach THAT far.

Making the Band 2’s Sara Stokes is in trouble with the law for allegedly stabbing her husband with a knife following an argument earlier this month. According to TMZ, the former Bad Boy singer was arrested for domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon after cops and paramedics were called on August 2nd at her and her husband’s Moreno Valley, CA home.
According to police, Sara stormed out of her house after an argument with her husband Tony. She then tripped and fell and accused him of doing it. Sara later grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Tony in the arm, while their 3 children looked on!
But Sara’s lawyer, Eric Kayira, says the singer and her husband love each other and all of this is just a big misunderstanding.
“Sara and Tony have a very passionate and loving relationship that on August 2, while having an evening of fun, she slipped and fell, hitting her head heavily on the ground and somehow in the process of helping her Tony got injured.”
Something about this is a little fishy. Those injuries to her face in the mugshot above look like they didn’t come from just a simple fall to the ground. A piece of this story is definitely missing. Remember the car scene (fast forward to 8:00) between Ike and Tina in What’s Love Got to Do With It? This is what this looks/sounds like … on a smaller scale.
Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson is officially a mom! She and her fiance David Otunga (most known for being “Punk” on VH1’s I Love New York) welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world Monday night (Aug 10). The baby, David Daniel Otunga Jr., came in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
“The baby is beautiful and perfect,” Hudson rep Lisa Kasteler said in a statement. “His parents are ecstatic.”
Hudson and Otunga chose not to find out the baby’s sex until birth. Congratulations to Jennifer and her husband!
R&B singer Fantasia will return to the old-fashioned way older albums were recorded for her upcoming third studio disc. She says she likes the live sound from older albums, before technology changed the way they were recorded. She will have a live orchestra in the studio when she begins recording.
The American Idol alum will start recording for the currently untitled album as soon as she gets a break from touring in “The Color Purple.” Her songs this time around will reflect the pain she experienced last year; business-wise and relationship-wise.
We’re excited for a new Fantasia album! We think she’s one artist that won’t ditch R&B for the new Pop sound.
Up and coming rapper Drake is featured on the cover of the September 2009 issue of The Fader magazine. In the issue, the Toronto native talks about his rise to fame and fortune and more. Pick it up when it hits newsstands August 18th!
On Friday (Aug 7), LA Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal to produce a movie from footage of Michael Jackson‘s final rehearsals. The movie will feature not only his final rehearsals for the “This Is It” tour but also the videos prepared for display during the shows. Under the terms of the contract, the film cannot include any footage that will put Jackson in a bad light and will be screened by Jackson’s estate before its release.
Meanwhile, the official press release for the film has been released. Read it after the break:
DJ Kay Slay has put his two cents regarding the “beef” between rappers The Game and Jay-Z. Though he is a good friend of Game, Slay questions his disses towards Jay:
“…I think Jay-Z deserves a little more respect for as long as he’s been in the game,” Slay said in an interview. “And Game, he [should] just chill for a second. I really don’t think he fired at him hard enough for him to be going as hard as he’s going but then again, Game is a man. He’s gonna do what he’s gotta do. But me, I just think that, you gotta be on that individual level to go at him. And I don’t think Game has reached that yet.”
SOURCE: SOHH
Is it just us or do we sense another beef getting ready to surface? It’s clear that The Game doesn’t like his name to be mentioned by anyone and DJ Kay Slay might just be on the end of another diss. We’re just going to sit back and watch this one.
