Alicia does "Teenage Love Affair."

Teenage Love Affair is set to become the third single from Alicia's nearly 4-times platinum selling album, As I Am...Check out pictures from the video shoot...I personally would've liked for the song that she did with John Mayer to had been the next single...I think that is a very touching song, However, I'm pretty sure artist have their reasons and stories behind why they pick certain songs over others...do your thing Alicia!

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

On raising her teenage daughter Grace as a single parent:

I have an important charge to raise a strong woman who has a sense of self, and who will survive no matter what happens to me. It's a funny, odd, isolated feeling when you're the single parent. I try not to override Grace's vision for her life.

On seeking professional help and spiritual guidance to help her handle the two divorces she had from Brian Gibson and Van Whitfield:
We have no problem searching until we find the right hairdresser who can give us that perfect perm and sitting for hours waiting to get our hair done but when it comes to sorting thought what's in our hears, we don't take the time. Man will disappoint you. That's why the God relationship is so important. I'm not very much good without Him in my life.

On her dating experience after two divorces:
Dating is something that's been hard for me. I've always been a one-man type woman. Until someone stops me in my tracks with the romance,the honor, and all that comes with falling in love, I'm excited to date and have fun.

On working with Tyler Perry on the film, "Madea's Family Reunion":
Tyler is wonderful. Every black actress should adore him. He has a respect and regard for our history and tradition, the issues that we face. I love what he's doing. He's a real lover of black women. He honors us and wants to build us up.

Kelly is about to get it right!

In an interview with UK newspaper The Daily Record, R&B star Kelly Rowland confirmed that she has indeed begun work on her third solo album. That Grape Juice first reported on Kelly's plans to head back to the studio last month. Here's what the 'Like This' singer had to say of the new project:


Q: WHAT ELSE ARE YOU UP TO AT THE MOMENT?


A: I'm going back into the studio as I've just started the third album.


Q: WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH?


A: I want to work with will.i.am. That's the only person I have in my head right now.{Source}

Kelly, I'm rooting for your crazy behind...now get it right this time...please!!!!

Robin Thicke is Something else!

Robin Thicke is working on his third studio album, which is expected to drop this summer. BET's Sound Off recently attended Robin's recording studio for an exclusive preview of the R&B singer's upcoming new album, Something Else.

They did a track-by-track review of some of the new tracks that will make the album. When Robin isn't too busy recording his own project, he's working on others. Reportedly he's worked with Usher on his new album Here I Stand (May 27th) and Ashanti's The Declaration (June 3rd).

Check out the sneak peak preview below.SideStep- An uptempo number driven by a tantalizing bass line, Thicke’s feel good plea of receiving love from his significant other will not only put you and yours on the dance floor, but will also provide you with an old school type of confidence your parents were once accustomed to!Magic- Accompanied with a barrage of horns and an assortment of congas, “Magic” propels the image of what seems like an inside look at the perfect relationship he and his wife, Paula Patton, have!

Dream World- Painting the perfect atmosphere of what HIS world would consist of, the mellow and melodic tune will initiate the thought process of your very own “Dream World!” Whether it’s an interracial couple walking down the dirt roads of Mississippi, or informing Van Gough he’s missed, Robin covers all corners.

Sweetest Love- Describing a type of love that couldn’t get any sweeter, Thicke’s approach to this subject could easily be pegged as a female favorite.

Mr. Loverman- Any female who’s listened to at least one song from Robin’s catalog probably wonders how the R&B vet fairs as a lover. But since he’s married, you’ll have to do one of two things: listen to this song or just ask his wife Paula Patton. And since a majority of you are equipped with common sense, I’m sure you’ll be listening to the song.

Cassie the next Janet Jackson/ Britney Spears?

Though Cassie's sophomore effort is still without an affirmative title or release date (an unconfirmed date in September), her label head Diddy spoke with Billboard about the project recently:

"That's going to really, really catch people off guard," he says. "There's a huge [cry] out there for a younger Britney Spears, a younger Janet Jackson. Those two great artists have paved the way. She has a single out called 'Official Girl' and Danja produced it, and it is a smash.Cassie released her self-titled debut in 2006, which went on to sell 321,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Single "Me & U" peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 3 on the Hot 100. It has also sold more than 1 million digital downloads.

Diddy says Cassie has grown significantly since the debut; at one point during the promo cycle for the album, the pair used viral video to apologize for her poor performance on a radio show."I just don't think she was ready," Diddy says. "I think that we threw her into the spotlight without the artist development -- that goes on with a lot of new artists. We pulled out, we took our time, we developed her for like, a year-and-a-half. People are just going to see her there and be like, 'Wow, she's really cocooned into a butterfly.'"Although the track list isn't finalized, Cassie told Billboard earlier this year she'd worked with mentor Ryan Leslie, Seven, Mario Winans, Bryan Michael Cox, Eric Hudson, Sean C and LV on the project. "

I have to see it to believe it Diddy!

Tank is preparing for new album!

R&B singer/songwriter Durrell “Tank” Babbs checked in with fans via his MySpace blog on Tuesday (April 8th) with the following message:

“What’s up everyone? Just checking in to say THANK YOU for the overwhelming support I received on "Sex, Love & Pain". Due to the success of that album, I’m blessed to be back in the studio again working on my fourth studio album. I’ve already recorded some great songs that I can’t wait for you to hear. I’ll be in touch soon.”

Somebody trying to start some sh!@

Somebody did this on purpose!

Yesterday, T.I. spoke out about the track leaked by a mixtape DJ called “Hunt ‘Em Down”. T.I. wants his fans to know that “Hunt ‘Em Down” is not up to his normal standard of quality and it is not the first single from his upcoming CD “Paper Trail”. T.I. says the track was actually recorded following the tragic death of his close friend Philant Johnson in 2006.

Since the track has already leaked, I guess i'll share it too!

LISTEN:T.I. Talks About Leaked Track “Hunt Em Down”

Chocolate splitting up!

"Actress Jasmine Guy has filed for divorce, Los Angeles court documents show. The former A Different World star cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split from her husband Terrence Duckett. The couple, who are both 46, were married for nearly 10 years. Guy is seeking physical and legal custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Imani, with visitation for Duckett. She is also requesting that the court deny any spousal support to Duckett, but is asking it from him."



This is too bad!

You have gotta be kidding me!

Someone please say it aint so, “Say it aint so!" T.I.'s baby momma has reportedly made a gift registry for fans to purchase gifts for her and T.I's unborn child. I hope this some type of hoax. They have too much money to be asking fans for gifts...its one thing to receive gifts randomly from the heart, but she done made a damn list at Babies "R" US...Come on now!

According to xscape2xscape.com close source, Tameka"Tiny"Cottle is giving her fans (please note that I wrote fans) a chance to participate in the birth of her and T.I.'s upcoming child. To my understanding lots of fans wanted to somehow take part in this special occasion so here you go:

Registrant(s): TAMEKA COTTLE Maiden/Alternate Name: TINY Registry #: 42486169 Location: JONESBORO, GA Expected Arrival Date: 05/25/2008 THEME: GREEN & GOLD WITH ACCENTS OF RED ARMY FATIGUE

Naomi Campbell trying to pull the race card!!!

Naomi Campbell has the audacity to pull the race card out in regards to her airport incident. I could see them picking on her because of her infamous temper, but race? Naw mommy...just admit it, you messed up! She is lucky to have just gotten kicked off the airlines and not still be picking her teeth up off the floor...spitting on someone is nasty and trifling. This chick needs an anger management course and an etiquette class.

Here's the scoop:

"British Airways has banned Naomi Campbell after she spat in a policeman’s face. The supermodel has asked the airline for a second chance. Her spokeswoman said: ‘Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.’

"Virgin Atlantic said she was welcome to fly with them. But it added: ‘Any decision regarding her future travel with us would depend on the outcome of any court proceedings.’”

"Naomi Campbell is now saying she thinks she was targeted last week at Heathrow Airport because of her race. So it had nothing to do with the fact that you spit on a police officer."

That's what she gets!

Is Beyonce Knocked up?

Papa Knowles, Why aren't you smiling?

You know that everybody and their momma is trying to figure out this whole marriage situation between Jay Z and Beyonce. Word on the street is, Beyonce might be barefooted and Pregnant. I don't know how true it is, but with her and Jigga’s dough combined, they have enough money to live very nice for years to come ( if both decide to retire to raise a child). Papa Knowles was looking a little unhappy on his pictures...so, there is definitely something fishy going on in the Knowles clan. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope the marriage was based on love...if it was because of a pregnancy, let's give them both a pat on the back for having a child the right way!

"Beyonce and Jay-Z surprised everyone with what’s being called a shotgun wedding. It wasn’t a surprise that the two got married since they’ve been dating for about 5 years but it was a surprise that they kept it so hush-hush. Since they actually kept it hush-hush, many people in the media are speculating that they got married quickly because Beyonce is knocked up. "

Singer Toni Braxton rushed to Hospital!

Our prayers go out to Toni Braxton and family.

"Singer Toni Braxton has been admitted to a Vegas hospital -- breathe again!We hear Braxton was admitted to St. Rose Dominican Hospital late last night after her show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. FOX 5 in Vegas reports the diva is in good condition.A spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, Braxton suffers from pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. She learned she had the condition after the birth of her second son."

Mike's Gold digger seeks third test!

Michael Jordan is going to get enough going raw dawg on these Broke chicken heads...some chick wants him to take another paternity test because she insists that he fathered her 4-year-old son. If he takes another paternity test for this deranged broad, he's going to loose all his cool points with me...I mean damn Ma, get over it...Mike is not your Baby's Father, we know you planned it, but the condoms you poked holes in to trap Michael with, you accidentally used with Taiwan, the cable guy...

"Despite two previous tests that show otherwise, a Pennsylvania mom is still trying to prove NBA great Michael Jordan is the father of her 4-year-old son.

Lisa Miceli, 35, wants a judge to require the five-time NBA MVP to submit to a third paternity test. Jordan claims in his harassment suit against Miceli that two paternity tests in 2005 ruled him out as the child’s dad. The Meadville woman also wants the judge to lift a temporary restraining order imposed when Jordan filed his suit in February."

Is she serious?

Naomi Cambell's Crazy A@! may get banned!

Naomi Campbell done pissed off the wrong people...her crazy a@! may be banned from riding British Airways...

"The suits at British Airways are considering the possibility of banning the supermodel from flying on "British Airways planes is now under 'active review', with a final decision expected after the company completes an internal investigation and after police decide on whether to prosecute her."

Somebody take this chick to counseling, give her a hug, do something.... she needs to control her temper before she runs up on the wrong one...

UPDATE!!!! IT REALLY WENT DOWN!

I think it's really true...Jay and B made it official...he did in fact wife her!

"Beyonce is officially Mrs. Sean Carter after her and longtime beau Jay-Z tied the knot in New York City yesterday. It was a private and intimate affair, only 30 of Beyonce and Jay-Z's closest friends and family were in attendance for the big day. Guests were reportedly asked to wear all white to the reception. Stars like Gwyneth Paltrow (who is pictured in white hiding her face) Chris Martin, Beyonce's sister Solange and Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams all arrived in a black Mercedes. Diddy and Kanye were also present for the wedding. A Reverend and his wife were spotted going inside Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment around 8 p.m. There's still no official confirmation from either camp but sources close to Jay-Z confirmed the wedding to Hollyscoop yesterday afternoon. Congrats to the happy couple! "

WTF is this?

Here’s the promo poster for the new comedy Tropic Thunder in which Robert Downey, Jr. plays a black soldier alongside Ben Stiller and Jack Black.

This is some bullsh@!...All I have to say to the buffoon that thought of this is: WHAT THE F@!# IS WRONG WIT YOU?

You mean to tell me that Robert Downey Jr. is so much of a good actor that a Chocolate brotha couldn't play this part? Home boy looks...I have no words for this crazy looking picture...we just thought we would give you a little melted chocolate to start your day!

Is it really going down, Part III....

Jay Z pictured after the wedding...Is he crying?

Celebrity friends arriving.


Solange Knowles arriving.


Flowers arriving to Jay Z's penthouse.

According to People Magazine, Beyonce and Jay Z were indeed married yesterday! Pictures were taken, but have not surfaced just yet...Another insider is saying that although they married yesterday in New York, they will have much more lavish wedding in France! Whatever the case may be, if the couple is in fact married, On behalf of The Chocolate girl’s@ The Chocolate Scoop, we want to send out a Big Congratulations!

People Magazine:

“After years of speculation, singer Beyoncé Knowles wed her longtime boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, on Friday, a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE. Though there is no official confirmation, the friend says, "It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family." The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper's Tribeca apartment that drew Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

“Still, marriage seemed to be in the cards – eventually. "I never pictured myself as a bride," she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006, "but after my sister's wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I'd want. I don't think I want a big one."

Wedding or Big money celebration?

Story still developing.....

Solange looks ___________________!

Now, I am not trying to hate, but enough is enough!!! I understand that little Beyonce wants to create an identity a lot different than her sisters, however, that yellow gold lipstick is definitely not the business. Why does this beautiful young lady insist on looking like a clown so much? she has the audacity to get mad when people call her out on her soulfulness...Solange needs to stop trying so hard and then everything will fall in place for her...I don't know home girl, but by the way she dresses and coordinates sometimes, I'm starting to believe chick is a little coo-coo in the head...she's starting to scare me!

check out the picture of her album cover for her sophomore album, "Soul Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams." So far, everything I've heard has been pretty descent, I just hope baby Beyonce finds herself and stop painting her face and covering her body in random foolishness!

Ms. Kelly goes to London

Kelly Rowland will be launching her deluxe album "Ms. Kelly" in the UK May 12, 2008...I hear that she has a better fan base in the UK than she does here in the states. I am really digging the cover a whole lot more than I was digging the original one. Word on the street is that Kelly is also house shopping in London...that's right Kelly, Recover, find your niche and act upon it...no more excuses!
