R&B Gossip
According to Monica Mania, 50 Cent recently said in an interview that Olivia fans shouldn't worry... she's coming back and harder than ever! Her sohopmore, Second Chance, is being released in the 1st quarter of 07, and Behind Closed Doors has been completely scarpped. That's a shame, 'cause I wanted to hear "Lonely Girl" and "Move That Thing" in full, but I'm sure she'll bring heat! -- Katharine McPhee's debut album has been pushed back to January 2007, according to MTV News. Kat is working with Ryan Leslie (Cassie, Danity Kane), Danja (Jeannie Ortega, Nelly Furtado) and Kara DioGaurdi (Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson). The first single will either be "Open Toes" or "Somebody".

Interviews
I just logged onto My Space, and guess who I found online? Rihanna!!! I sent her a message immediately asking her if I could do an interview with her for the site. She replied YES!! She also said that she visited Funky-Media when her career first started because it popped up when she did a search of her name! (If you check back on the first FM site, you'll notice that Rihanna was in the first post EVER and that I refrained from posting her albums, and I promoted her. Anyways, here is the interview:Funky-Media: So, you have just been on the World Music Awards...Rihanna: Yeah.FM:: So, you got booed, which is ridiculous. Your performance was amazing. I can't believe they did that.R: Well, the music industry is like that. You have your ups, you have your downs. I'm just thankful that I'm in the music industry and that most of my career was great.FM: So you aren't sad?R: I was at first, because I put so much energy in the performance, but then I thought about it. Even the greatest artists have been booed at some point in their career, but it shouldn't make you feel bad. If anything, it should boost your career.FM: That's so true. Anyways, you mentioned you visited Funky-Media before.R: Yeah, I did. It was back in 2005. I'm thankful for all the coverage you did.FM: Your welcome. Are you working on new material?R: A new song of mine hotness ft. Shontelle is on the save the last dance 2 soundtrack. I'm also working on a new album but I'm taking my time. It's not rushed like a girl like me was.FM: Who are you working with, and can you give me more detalis?R: I'm working with Evan and Carl. I've also got future studio sessions with Stargate and JR. The album still has no release date or title.FM: You have had a small role in the latest Bring It On movie, and you appeared on an episode of All My Children. Are you going to work on other movies?R: I have gotten scripts, and I'm considering a few. Nothing too serious, though.FM: You went on a tour with the Black Eyed Peas, the Pussycat Dolls and Gwen Stefani. Those are big names. What did you think of them?R: They were all nice. Especially Gwen. I thought she was gonna be diva-like, but she's really down-to-earth. So are bep and pcd.--I'm planning to make 'interviews' an official new section of FM. I already did an interview with LaTavia Roberson, and now Rihanna. I'm planning more in the future.///New Singles

New Singles
Ashley Tisdale/Not Like That (Clip)
DL
4.5/5
This has a jazz feel to it. It's also Middle-Eastern flavored, like "He Said, She Said". I like it!! I can't wait for Ashley's debut, Headstrong, due Feb. 14.
--
Ashley Tisdale/So Much For You (Clip)
DL
1.5/5
I don't like this song at all. The beat is boring and overused. The only bearable thing about it is Ashley's voice. The lyrics are a bit cheesy, as well.
--
Ashley Tisdale/We'll Be Together (Clip)
DL
5/5
This song was written by Diane Warren. It's a beautiful rock song, and I'm totally feeling this. It's like a cross between Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson.
--
Hilary Duff/With Love (Clip) *FM Exclusive*
DL
100/5!!
I'm lovin' this!!! The beat is hypnotic and totally hot, and the lyrics show a mature side of Hil. This is the second single off her new album, ...With Love, also due Feb. 14. I she going with an urban feel for her new album? I hope so!

Brooke Hogan/Believe *FM Exclusive*
DL
5/5
This is a song from Brooke's unreleased album, This Voice, that I got from EBay. I am NOT posting the whole album, so don't request it. Anyways, I wanted to upload this because alot of people should listen to it. It's empowering and inspiring. Check this out!

Bow Wow/4 Corners
DL
3/5
I hate Bow Wow, but surprisingly, I liked this song. The beat is HAWT and has potential, but it should've been given to a better artist, but still... Bow Wow did step his game up.

WMA Coverage
The World Music Awards, as hosted by Lindsay Lohan, has finished... Presenters include Nicole Richie, Sugababes and Delta Goodrem, while performers include Chris Brown (who performed a tribute to Michael Jackson), Rihanna and Nelly Furtado. When will it air on TV?? Anyways, Michael Jackson did NOT perform "Thriller". Beyonce performed three songs "Deja Vu", "Ring The Alarm" and "Irreplaceable". Pictures below. Bee also won BEST SELLING R&B ARTIST, while Nelly Furtado won BEST SELLING POP/ROCK ARTIST. Michael Jackson was also presented the DIAMOND AWARD by Beyonce. Bee looked amazing when she performed "Irreplaceable"!! Congrats to her and Nelly Furtado!!! Rihanna for sure gets the best dressed!! She performed "Unfaithful", I think.
New SinglesFantasia/Not The Way I DoDLKwame did it. I am so digging this track!! This is my style of music!! I can't wait for her new album. Fantasia sounds sooo smooth over mysterious hypnotic Kwame beats. I so reccomend this!--Timbaland (Feat. Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake)/Give It 2 MeDLSMHF @ JT dissing Janet and Prince... He only had two albums and Janet had like 10! He is sooo conceited... Back to the track, I actually like it. I thought that Timbo's solo career would sound cheesy, but he's doing his thing! Plus, Nelly Furtado made me like this song even more!! Her flow is sooooo cool.Credit: Chris-Pix///Music NewsTrina1. "Da Baddest Bit*ch II (Intro)"2. "Bit*ch Is Back" 3. "All Night" 4.

"Thank You" 18 . "4 All My Bit*ches - Outro"Da Baddest Bit*ch II is the fourth full-length studio album by Miami based
rapper Trina. It is speculated to be released December 19, 2006. It has been
found that some of the songs on the album will either be produced or featured by
Cash Money Records artists, mainly because Trina is currently dating Cash Money
artist Lil' Wayne. She has also lined up an all-star production team consisting
of Jazze Pha, Kanye West, Timbaland, and Scott Storch. This is said to be the
sequel to Trina's 2000 debut Da Baddest Bit*ch. It is also said to be her
raunchiest album to date. As shown to be true through titles such as The Raunchy
Song, (The Floor, the Couch, the Bed) And Back), and Centerfold Girl.There was
some speculation as to when a single would be released and which song would it
be. Well many said that RockStarr and others said it would be Bit*ch Is Back or
Dat Fire. But it has been found that Centerfold Girl will be the first single
and it will be released sometime in early December. --Sounds exciting!! Especially the song wit Fergie. I'll put up the cover ASAP. This computer can't put photos on Blogger. *rolls eyes*--Ciara
Ciara hearts the '80s, and it shows on the 21-year-old singer's sophomore album, "Ciara: The Evolution", due in stores December 5th. "There was a certain way a record used to groove back in the day. I wanted to go back to what I really loved growing up," says Ciara, who co-produced the album. "With my last album (2004's "Goodies"), I was going with the flow, but here I was able to start from scratch. It started with me just having a clear vision of where I wanted to go."First, that meant drawing from fellow danceaholics like Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson and TLC. Second, Harris wanted to get more personal. "I challenged myself to think deeper and open up more to my fans, because I've been a very private person," she says.The Atlanta-bred singer explains that "Goodies" (Sho'Nuff Records), which has sold 3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, kept things "fun and simple," spawning energetic cuts like "1, 2 Step" and the title track, which topped The Billboard Hot 100 for seven straight weeks.But "Ciara: The Evolution" pulls a bait-and-switch, leading with the sensual ballad "Promise", produced by Polow Da Don. "I didn't know what people expected me to do with this record because of the (slow) tempo," Ciara says of the song's sultry music video, which finds her gyrating with a microphone. "I wanted to make sure you felt like you were still watching a Ciara video, but that you also felt 'The Evolution'."Most likely, "Like A Boy" or "I Proceed" will be the next single. She also said she will probably do another ballad as her 4th single [ Produced by Bryan Michael Cox ]--Ciara: The Evolution Tracklisting:1. That's Right (Feat. Lil' Jon)

GossipWell, I never commented on Britney's divorce with K-Fed, so here is what I think about it: I think that Brit doesn't deserve the shit he put her through. If she didn't leave him, it would put a stain on her career. I think divorcing him is the right choice, since Brit seems much happier than she did three weeks ago. Also, she's just in time for a fresh new start with the new year! I wish Brit all the luck in her career and personal life. Sincerely, a true Britney Spears fan. -- In other news, Christina Aguilera's third album, Back To Basics, has just been confirmed PLATINUM. Umm... isn't it too late, Baby Jane? Christina also made an apperence on SNL. She performed "Hurt", ANOM and "Steppin' Up". She craked up a little during "Hurt" 'cause her grandmother just passed away... -- Trina seems to be joining Terror Squad after a member of TS joined her onstage when she performed a new song at a party.

Trust me, the whole vibe is real different than DC.FM: Your also working with Teddy Bishop? LeToya worked with him, too.LR: Toya actually hooked me up wit him. You see, I came to visit her in the studio and he was there. My nickname for Teddy is 'Teddy Bear'!FM: You were also in a girl group with LeToya called Anjel. What happened back there?LR: Honestly the whole thing didn't work out. The trax we put out were a mess and we didn't have a particular style.FM: Really? I thought the tracks were kinda cute. Especially "Lingerie".LR: That was one of the highlights. That's why it was great. The rest was all bland.FM: What musical direction are you going with as a solo artist, and which artists do you look up to?LR: My music has a jazzy feel to it, with a hip-hop twist. Think Mary J. meets Lil' Kim. Also, I admire Whitney Houston. I sampled her song "Dance With Somebody" for a song of mine. I also love Tamia and Monica.FM: You recently mentioned that you love acting. Are you acting in something now?LR: I am looking at scripts right now, and I also might make an appearence on the show Lost.FM: I'm looking forward to that!!
