R&B Gossip/News

The above picture is from Paris Bennett's new video for the Darkchild produced "Ordinary Love". The track is HAWT!!! I also like "Burnt Up" and "Dreamin'" by Paris. The video is scheduled to premiere on Yahoo! Music by the end of the month. Her debut album, Princess P, is in stores this spring!

Hilary Duff's upcoming album, Confessions of Love, is going to be released on April 3. It includes production by Tim & Bob (Mya, Destiny's Child, Madonna) , Kara DioGaurdi (Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson, The Pussycat Dolls), 4 time Grammy winner, Manny Marroquin (John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Kanye West), Richard Vission (Usher, Sting, Killers) and Will.I.Am (Fergie, LAX, Kelis). The first single, "Play With Fire", didn't fare well on the charts, but I have high hopes for "With Love"!! "With Love" is already available to request on Radio Disney, so REQUEST, REQUEST, REQUEST!!
--
Silena Murrell has switched to a 'bigger and better' record label. The reasons that she left Interscope are unknown, but I think it has something to do with NO PROMOTION. Anyways, I am really looking forward to her new album. I will also post an album sampler this Thurday, so check it out!!

Gossip/News

Lindsay Lohan, according to YAHOO!, recently confirmed that she's going to rehab. Check out the article here:
"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time," said the 20-year-old actress in a statement issued Wednesday through her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick.
Us Weekly reports that Lohan entered the posh Wonderland Center in Los Angeles at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, arriving in a sports utility vehicle and clutching a Jamba Juice.
Zelnick confirmed to The Associated Press in December that Lohan was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Lohan told People magazine then that she had been going to the meetings for a year.

So... I was looking for R&B gossip, and I came across this on BEAUTY N THE BEAT:
Timbaland jacked up a beat from an unknown producer for Nelly Furtado's song "DO IT" and he didn't give the producer any money or creditation. The producer is contemplating suing Timbo. Also,
The chorus from Justin Timberlake's hit single "My Love" was originally from a song by Keke Le Roc...

1. Ciara/Promise (The Evolution)
So Cici won by a hair... getting 19 votes. No surprise there considering everyone is loving her new album. Don't get me wrong, though, she totally deserves it!!!

2. Beyonce/Irreplaceable (B'Day)
18 votes... one vote short. Someone voted last minute for CiCi, so... I love this song, though! It's the current No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Bee deserves it. Congrats Bee!!
3. Christina Aguilera/Ain't No Other Man (Back To Basics)
14 votes. Christina went all jazz for her latest album... and everyone liked it! This song was a huge hit, and it's hot!! Go Xtin.. I mean, Baby Jane!!

I love this song!!! Rihanna really did amazing this year!!!! This was my pick, but it came in fourth, scoring 12 votes. I hope Rihanna comes back stronger than ever in '07!!

Nelly started to dance this year, and everyone was feelin' it. Her song "Promiscuous" was a No. 1 hit in the U.S., while "Maneater" was an international hit, getting No. 1 in more than 5 countries. Her infectious album was also a huge hit. She got 11 votes.
6. Monica/Beat Drop (Makings of Me)

Shakira got 3 votes. Good for her!! I enjoyed both this album and song... Can't wait for her duet with Beyonce!

Best Album of '06:

1.LeToya by LeToya
I bet you didn't see this coming. I didn't gush over this album as I have others, but honestly, this is a masterpiece. The songs aren't overdone or underdown, they're just right and perfect.
