Yesterday, I was invited to the set of Making The Band 4 and I didn’t even audition! LOL!!! Special thanks to K-MONEY @ BAD BOY! THIS MAN IS GENIUS!!!! Thanks to the wonderful people on the set such as Melvin, Rebecca, Josh, and Sladjaua. I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE MTV PRODUCERS, STAFF, AND SUSAN SALGADO. You all are doing an amazing job! LOL, I will not leak out much information to you all, other than two people from a music group from the late 80’s to mid 90’s and Laurie Ann are judges. Laurie Ann is fucking hilarious and she’s so beautiful! Anyway, this season should be filled with tons of hilarious shit to laugh about and a lot of talent!

Emily King is the new threat. The girl is only 21 and her style is so mature. She’s like the young Jill Scott in training. Emily talks about racism, sexism, ignorance, and her life. HER NAME IS EMILY THE FEMALE KING. Emily is from NYC. Her life story is riding trains, playing on sidewalks, jumping rope, and singing with her family. King may be just 21 years old, but this girl is a throwback to another era. The music on her J Records debut, East Side Story, reveals roots that are deep and ambitions that are grand. “I think music is such a revolutionary thing, and that’s what it should be,” she says. In conversation, King’s words are packed with references to the wide range of great artists that inspired her - the Beatles and Nas, Sarah Vaughan and Radiohead, Michael Jackson and Neil Young. “Every record that I’ve ever heard has been an influence on me,” she says.

Timbaland, one of THE hottest producers ever, is set to release his 2nd solo album entitled “Timbaland presents Shockvalue” on March 27th 2007!

“The album is said to be “sequenced like a movie” and encompasses a wide range of genres. “He ventures into the alternative world and the real pop world,” Timbaland right-hand-man Nate “Danja” Hills previously told Billboard.com. “He has so many different sounds from hip-hop, to pop, to rock on this album. And he pulls every single one of them off perfectly.” (source)

Timbaland hasn’t released an album since “Under Construction II” back in 2003 w/ Magoo! I’m so excited!!! Tim is a musical genius! In the mean time, here’s some ear candy. Check out his first single featuring J.Timberlake and Nelly Furtado!!!

The comedian’s hit HBO stand up special Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1, recently hit stores on DVD. And now the popular funnyman is preparing a new rap/comedy album titled It’s Pimpin’, Pimpin’. The album is dropping this spring on Cam’ron’s Diplomat Records/Warner Bros and features cameos from Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, E-40, Lyfe Jennings, Paul Wall, Mike Jones and Lil’ Jon. “Everything, everywhere is comedy material,” Williams told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “To watch and view the world via television, newspapers, movies and music translates our world into funny. There is no subject where funny doesn’t exist.” (source)

After taking part in a British show, “Celebrity Big Brother”, Jermaine Jackson told reporters about his hopes of converting his little brother, Michael, to the religion of Islam.

“Michael, I feel, needs to become a Muslim because I think it’s a great protection for him from all the things that he’s been attacked with, which are false,” Jermaine told BBC Asian Network Monday, one day after placing second on the “Celebrity Big Brother” reality show. “There’s a strength and protection there.”

Hmmm….Interesting…I did not know Jermaine was a Muslim…I always thought Jermaine was the cutest one…(after Michael, of course)…Whoever played him on The Jacksons: An American Dream was fooiiine!!! LOL! (source)

TMZ has provided this photo to the public…”The office is currently reviewing the case and determining whether the evidence warrants the filing of a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter,” Velasquez said. The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail and a $1,000 fine, Velasquez said. Prosecutors couldn’t say when they would make a decision about whether to bring a case. If charged, Brandy wouldn’t necessarily have to appear in court and could have her lawyer enter a plea, Velasquez said. (source)
