I am pretty sure if you are a hip-hop fan, let alone a
T.I. fan you would be interested in knowing the words or reasons behind T.I. latest
album cover artwork for 'Paper Trail'. In an email sent to MTV news on Monday, the rappers elaborates on why he chose this particular album cover for his sixth LP.
We didn't want to just do a typical cover, especially for my sixth album," T.I. told us via e-mail. "I wanted to try something a little more different. The illustration for Paper Trail pays an obvious homage to my rekindled affinity for writing my lyrics down as well as displays my commitment to keep my art slanted towards the abstract.
In other news, if you thought 'No matter what' or 'Swing your rag' was the first single from Paper Trail..guess again. A reader has recently informed me that in a myspace blog entry posted today on his music page, it reads: Wednesday, July 16, 2008
1st Official Single "Whatever You Like" off PAPER TRAIL has arrived!
Check out my audio player right now to hear the 1st official single "Whatever You Like" produced by Jim Jonsin, off my new album PAPER TRAIL in stores September 9th!

Young and talented actress/singer
Tiffany Evans is coming back for round two in the upcoming year. According to her
myspace blog, Evans is already making moves to start the production on a new look on her upcoming album which to my understanding does not have a name yet and she promised all of her fans it's the best that they will hear from her! How exited, I have to admit I always get happy when a young artist is brewing and grooming to take the spotlight. Watching videos like
this and specially
this, homegirl is def on my to-watch list. How about you..? *WINK*

Let me first apologize for this photo, it was the best I could find of Aubrey.Danity Kane very own
egorific [Yes I just made that up] Aubrey O'Day invites all of her fans to her broadway debut in HairSpray which she will be playing the role of
Tracy Turnblad's stuck-up arch-nemesi Amber Von Tussle. Now that sounds all fine and dandy, but reading from DK's myspace blog, looks like Aubrey has much bigger ambitions to play a different character that the one given to her. She explains or in this case blames it on her the fact that she is skinny. I say YEAH RIGHT!
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that I will make my Broadway debut in HAIRSPRAY on FRIDAY, JULY 18! It has been a dream of mine to perform on Braodway since I saw the Nutcracker with my mother when I was 6 years old. Before MTV and Danity Kane I played the lead in various musicals such as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Carmen in Fame, and Sandy in Grease. I am a little too thin to play the lead role in HAIRSPRAY so I will be playing Tracy Turnblad's stuck-up arch-nemesis Amber Von Tussle! Nothing beats Broadway but I am even more excited to act with the all-star cast of ASHLEY PARKER ANGEL,TEVIN CAMPBELL, JENIFER LEWIS, and GEORGE WENDT! Thank you all of my dear fans who have made an opportunity like this possible and I hope you come out and see the show.

Well the recent word that is going around the net is that singer/actress
Alicia Keys has set her mind to retire from her music career not too far from now. To my understanding, she feels she is in a very comfortable state financially and emotionally. Keys also went further by saying that
"I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures." I hope decision about retiring did not have anything to do with that scum known as 25+25 Cent. I don't believe it, she will probably pull a Jay-Z move in the long run even if she do retire. What do you think?

Isn't that nice, all this time I thought these two would never reproduce. I guess I was wrong.
Jermaine Dupri revealed to
People recently that he and his wifey
Janet Jackson have approaching plans of having a child. The rapper/producer said "right after the tour" and when asked what gender he prefer of the baby, JD says:
"It really doesn't matter," he explained at the even honoring rapper Nelly. "Janet would be a great mom. She was around so many brothers and sisters all her life, so she's got to know what that is [like]. And her mom is a great mother." AWWWW!

Here is the cover of
Mariah Carey's third single
"I'll be loving you long time' from her album E=MC2 in stores now. I've heard this song on Boston's radio station, Jamn94.5 not too long ago and similar to Michelle Williams single, it's one of those songs that's going to take me some time to adjust to. The video for this single is in the works and it features T.I. on the remix.
Below you can view a photo of T.I.,

Former Destiny Child's member
Michelle Williams is fully loaded and ready for her album release this summer on August 12th. You have to bear with me guys, because I might be a little late with today's post(s). I already explained my whereabouts a little earlier. Coming back to Michelle and her album cover, I'm going to be all out real and say that I'm feeling her first single 'We Break the dawn', along with this album artwork.
I think it's one of those songs that takes a couple days to get in your system, and then when it gets in BOOM! but I am very dissapointed in the lack of promotions in this album! I mean her sound is different, the look and I really feel mad that people can't accept well another Destiny Child member having success if it's not Beyonce. Nothing personal against miss B, but damn!

Rapper
T.I. is on the August '08 issue of XXL magazine. If I'm not mistaken the cover story 'Still da king' should includes everything from the recent events that have taken place in the rapper's life such as legal battles,childbirth etc..Be aware that his sixth stuido album 'Paper Trail' will be in stores September '08. On a sidenote, I like how the people over at XXl made that cover though, with the chalk touch and everything, it's a good look.

D.Woods promo for LRG
[Credit:Allthatsfab.com]
Sike!..but on a serious note folks. Rumors have been ciculating around the internet that there has been some on-going cat scratches between Danity Kane members;
D.Woods and
Aubrey. I took a stroll down D.Wood's
site just out of curiosity, and actually found some interesting clues, well if you can call it that.
I noticed that throughout the month of May, there wasn't anything brewing between the two since they were hosting shows and conducting stage appearances together. But suddenly aroud Juin 5th, D.Woods wrote a message to all her fans in arizona that this event which was posted on the 5-19-08 and was set to being hosted by both members end up being canceled. You can cacth the message quoted below.I am pretty sure that's around the time where the rumors started popping on the net. This entry was a quick food for thought, let's see what happens folks ;)
To all of our fans in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona:
Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's club appearance in Scottsdale has been cancelled. We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. We truly were anticipating tonight's event as we are sure you were as well. Again, we are EXTREMELY sorry for this misunderstanding. The situation was completely out of our control and we hope to see you again sometime. Thank you for all your love and support.

Eight time grammy award wining singer
Mary J Blige has a good heart. According to page
six, Blige made a very nice gesture to a young women not too long ago. Word has it that the young lady was purchasing a dress in a store that she adored and ran short on cash, therefore she could not purchase it anymore. When Mary took notice, she quickly stepped in and payed the balance with kindness.
MARY J. Blige has a heart the size of her record sales. Last week, Blige was at the Diane von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District when she overheard a girl having a problem at the register. A spy said, "The girl had a dress on hold that she loved, and the bill was $900. She thought it was only $500, and she couldn't afford it." Blige told the saleswoman, "Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress." The customer at first declined Blige's offer but relented after the singer said, "I know what it's like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist." The customer wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Blige said, "Just enjoy it. I'm blessed, so let me do this.

Can you imagine
Alicia Keys getting photographs with a bunch of kids alongside her in the park or something? I can...Singtress Alicia Keys reveleaved in an interview with WENN while attenting a movie premiere not too long ago in New York City that she is not quite ready to being called 'mommy' yet but it's something worth considering.
I’ve always loved kids. Kids are so important. It’s important to nurture and spend time with them and listen to them.
I’m not ready to be a mom. But (adoption) is something that is important to consider. That’s what I really admire about Angelina. I think it’s beautiful the way she embraces children of the world.” And she insists she would like to create a family of different cultures, like Jolie: “We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think. So I possibly would (adopt), when I’m more in the motherhood stage of my life.

Beyonce is on the cover of the June '08 issue of Brazil magazine; Monet. I could have sworn I've seen that pose over a million times. But the cover still looks great. In other Beyonce news sorta,
Looks like Lil Wayne opened up his big mouth a little too early and spill the beans that Beyonce,Usher and him will be doing a special performance for 'Love in this club' part 2 at the 2008 Bet awards which will be airing in a couple of days. I'm not sure I will be watching since Bet keeps getting cheaper and cheaper ever year! I am depressed!
