Timbaland Working On Shock Value Sequel

Timbaland Working On Shock Value Sequel

Timbaland is currently working on the follow-up to his smash album Shock Value. The follow-up, entitled Shock Value 2 already has a few tracks completed and according to MTV News, Tim wants to stay away from working with some of the same folks he included last time, just to keep everyone guessing.
"Shock Value is really like the Now [That's What I Call Music!] compilation," he said. "That's my goal for this — not [to showcase] me as an artist. Of course I'll do my little part, introduce some people. It gives me room to go tour across the world. People request me. I put on a show. I put on a musical show."
"Right now, I have a song with Madonna that I didn't put on her album. I saved [it] in case I wanna do one for me," he revealed. "Of course I'mma do one with Beyoncé. Of course I'mma do one with Jordin Sparks, Rihanna. It's a lot of people. I'mma do one with The Jonas Brothers. I'mma try to have 10 major ones."
The producer also told MTV News that there will be guest appearances by Hip-Hop artists including T.I., T-Pain and Jay-Z. "Jay was really on the last one, but he wanted to change [the song]," Tim told MTV. "I said, 'Look, man, I gotta put out an album. You're killing me.'"
Besides working on Shock Value 2, Timbaland recently said he may be producing one of Jay-Z’s upcoming LP’s in its entirety. He has also been working with Missy Elliot and Chris Cornell.

Kelly Rowland calls former bandmate Beyonce a "slob"

Kelly Rowland calls former bandmate Beyonce a "slob"

Former Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland has labelled her former bandmate Beyonce Knowles a "slob".
The 26-year-old told music website urbanplanet.co.uk that touring with the hugely successful three-piece became nightmarish because of the slovenly habits of Beyonce and Michelle Williams.
Though Rowland refused to rule out the chance of a Destiny's Child reunion, her comments suggest she is delighted to be touring solo, ahead of the release of her new album Ms Kelly.
"They're both slobs," she explained. "We would get on a tour bus and they'd flick off their shoes. And I’d be like, 'No! That’s the corner for shoes!'
"I'm a neat freak. I make them crazy," she added.
Rowland, who sold over 100 million records with Destiny's Child, admitted to feeling frustration at continual comparisons with her glamorous bandmate, saying: "People should respect me in my own solo right."
The singer also rubbished recent rumours that she's been dating Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates.
Rowland has been linked with Yates while promoting her new single Work but laughed off the claims, saying the former Top of the Pops presenter isn't her type.
"He's not tall, dark and handsome! He's tall, bright, and… I guess cute? Reggie's more like a friend. We were just hanging out at a party and exchanged information," she said.
"I've been linked to three British men here," she continued. "And it's ok because you know it happens, I'm gonna be linked with someone else by the end of the year. Who cares?"
Rowland also admitted that while she loves the Destiny's Child smash Say My Name, the songs Bootylicious and Bug A Boo became further reasons to look forward to a solo career.

BEYONCE, MARY J. OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED FOR GRAMMYS: Also, Aretha in special gospel segment; The Time to reunite.

While the Recording Academy has officially announced that Beyonce will sing at next month's 50th Annual Grammy Awards, there was no mention of Tina Turner being part of the performance, as reports have suggested. Also announced as confirmed performers Thursday are Mary J. Blige and Rihanna, who join the Foo Fighters and Carrie Underwood for the Feb. 10 ceremony at Los Angeles' Staples Center. Rihanna will also hit the stage for a special "50th anniversary moment" with Morris Day, Jerome and the reamining members of The Time, who are reuniting for the occasion, reports Billbaord.com. Aretha Franklin will appear in a special gospel segment with Blige, the Clark Sisters, Israel And New Breed, the Madison Bumblebees and Trin-I-Tee 5:7 to celebrate her selection as the 2008 MusicCares Person of the Year.

Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood To Perform At Grammys

Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood To Perform At Grammys

The Grammys may not have any writers, but the February 10 show will have Beyoncé. The former Destiny's Child leader is among the first group of performers who've been confirmed for the ceremony, which recently got a commitment from the Writers Guild of America that it will not picket the 50th edition of music's biggest night.
Also slated to perform is country superstar and former "American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood and the Foo Fighters, who will play their song "The Pretender" with an orchestra led by guest conductor John Paul Jones, bassist for the recently reunited Led Zeppelin.
The show will also feature what's being billed as a "special segment" with Rihanna performing alongside a reunion of 1980s R&B/funk act the Time. A tribute to gospel music will bring together Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Israel and New Breed, Madison Bumblebees, the Clark Sisters and Trin-I-Tee 5:7.
There was a question about whether the Grammys would happen at all this year, or if, like the Golden Globes, they would end up as a press conference due to the ongoing writers' strike. But on Tuesday, it was announced that the striking union would not protest the show as had been expected, and the Recording Academy still hopes it can get a waiver from the WGA to allow staff writers to contribute to the production.
The only question now is, who else will join the roster of performers? Though People magazine reported this week that reclusive rock legend Tina Turner would be hooking up with Beyoncé for a special performance, a spokesperson for B could not be reached for confirmation. At press time, MTV had learned that Amy Winehouse, up for six awards, had decided to enter a rehab facility to deal with her ongoing drug issues. According to a statement from her representatives, Winehouse decided to enter the facility on Thursday (January 24) after realizing that "she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards."
More performance announcements are expected over the course of the next few weeks.

Beyonce Shows She Learned Nothing From PETA Cam

Beyonce Shows She Learned Nothing From PETA Cam

Beyonce Knowles apparently learned nothing from her sting encounter by PETA. Back in June of 2006, two undercover PETA members (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) won an eBay auction that offered fans a chance to meet Beyonce. Unbeknownst to the singer at the time, she took two anti-fur protestors to dinner with her at New York City eatery Nobu 57, where she was bombarded with info on the cruelty to animals in the fur industry.Unless she's sporting faux, which we highly doubt, girlfriend hasn't learned a thing from being told that "minks, foxes, and chinchillas are gassed, strangled and electrocuted for vanity."She arrived at the opening of boyfriend Jay-Z's 40/40 club in Las Vegas on December 30th with sister Solange Knowles, and a disgusting little fuzzy carcass purse.I'm just going to go with what singer Pink told UK's News of the World, "I only hope she gets bit on the arse by whatever animal she wears." Oh, and...perhaps nature is getting her back with those...um...what do you call those marks again?

Beyonce and sister Solange celebrate the launch of Jay-Z’s new club

Beyonce Knowles and her sister Solange celebrated the launch of Jay-Z’s new 40/40 club last weekend.

An onlooker said: “Beyonce and Solange lit up the room.
“It’s clear the good looks run in the family.”
Jay-Z, real name Shawn Corey Carter, arrived in style, wearing a fitted three-piece suit with cool shades to complete the look.
According to British newspaper The Sun, the Las Vegas club may not be open in time for New Year’s Eve due to licensing issues, but Jay-Z pulled out all the stops and made sure this year gets off with a bang.
Other guests at the swanky party included R’n'B sensation Ne-Yo and Mary J. Blige.

BEYONCE'S SISTER RECALLS DEAD FRIEND ON NEW ALBUM

BEYONCE'S SISTER RECALLS DEAD FRIEND ON NEW ALBUM

BEYONCE KNOWLES' little sister SOLANGE has penned a new song to a dead friend, who was caught up in a drive-by shooting. The singer/actress re-connected with childhood pal Marsai just before the friend was killed. In fact, she enjoyed a magical night with the teenager before she lost her life. Solange recalls, "I met Marsai in the sixth grade at middle school and it was an evolving friendship and it's so strange because we were always friends, we always did sleepovers and girly stuff that middle schoolers do. "We lost contact, and then we got back in contact once I took a break from music and I stayed home and I didn't have any friends who were my age because I was always on tour. She came back into my life at such an important time and we were inseparable. "Every day, she was taking me to high school games and sort of reminding me that I was 16. For an entire year, we spent so much time together and I definitely think that God knows what he's doing, because it was no coincidence that we reconnected the last year of her life. "Actually, the night before she passed away she came to my house and we spent the night and we watched this movie about friendship. "She left and later on that day she was tragically hit by a stray bullet - someone was fighting in the parking lot. It was really hard for me because she had literally just left my house." Ironically, a week after the tragedy, Solange discovered she was pregnant with her first child, Daniel Julez. She's convinced the two events are linked. She explains, "I have a song on my new album, An Ode To Julez, and the very first line is, `They say when one life goes into another one...' And I have a tattoo of angel wings separately on each of my wrists and one is for the death of my friend and the other is for the life of my son. Solange's tribute to her dead pal, Marsai Song, will appear on her new album Hadley Street Dreams.

Beyonce Poses Topless

Beyonce Poses Topless

Beyonce Knowles poses in a pair of jeans for House of Dereon brand clothing. According to Anythinghollywood.com, Beyonce Knowles knows how to seduce her fans into purchasing her brand, House of Dereon jeans.
It appears topless photos are “in” right now, because just a few weeks after Keira Knightley made her decision to pose topless for Interview Magazine (and a Chanel ad), Beyonce is doing the same. In her new racy ad, Beyonce is wearing a pair of tight jeans, and that’s all.
A source told News of the World, “Bey wanted to show just how seductive the label can be.
” She did a good job. The jeans are quite tight, and have a “squiggly,” which is supposed to be a Fleur-de-Lis (a symbol of the French monarchy), on the back pockets.
Beyonce may not have a single $100 million deal, but her list of endorsements in 2007 alone is enormous: American Express, her Samsung B'Phone, her Armani Diamonds perfume, her appearance in Disneyland's ad campaign as Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland,' her Direct TV ad and her continuing L'Oreal cosmetics contract.
As the face of her own clothing lines run with her family, Dereon, and now Dereon Junior launched in 2007, Beyonce is everywhere and pulling in product-related cash from almost every commodity category.
Her level of exposure, combined with the number, quality and diversity of her endorsement deals makes Beyonce BV's Top Black Celebrity Endorser of 2007.

Beyonce Nude Mishap - Top Story of 07

Beyonce Nude Mishap - Top Story of 07

The good news for Beyonce Knowles is that sex sells. The bad news is that her breasts are now available for viewing on the internet. Beyonce was simply trying to promote her new clothing line but she inadvertently gave the audience an eye full. This according to a Contact Music report.

It's being billed as an accident, (or is it a wardrobe malfunction?) but it could also be called an ironic way to promote a clothing line by accidentally removing said clothing. It all happened last week when Beyonce took to the stage at a launch party for her clothing line at the Dereon in Toronto, Canada, according to Contact Music.
Hundreds of fans were on hand to witness Beyonce perform and during an a dance routine her blouse reportedly lifted up and exposed her bare breasts to the audience. Video of the mishaps is now making the rounds on the web.

T-Pain, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake And More Are Our Favorite R&B Acts Of 2007

T-Pain, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake And More Are Our Favorite R&B Acts Of 2007

Top 10 R&B Acts of 2007

1. T-Pain
So 'hood, so good, Teddy P. was to R&B what Lil Wayne was to rap: a track showstopper whose versatile talent made his guest vocals a must-have for a plethora of artists. His presence was persistent, and while he'll never be heralded among the great voices of all time, you can't forget that the hits came incessantly. Pain's reign saw his computer-enhanced vocals pop up on records by top-of-the-food-chain acts like Kanye West and R. Kelly (twice) as well as street warriors DJ Khaled and Plies.
More importantly, Pain established his songwriting and producing acumen on Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss," as well as on T-Pain's entire LP, Epiphany, which spawned the smashes "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" and "Bartender."

2. Beyoncé
B bodied everybody. Her competition had to throw in the towel this year when she established that no one is in her lane when it comes to this thing we call entertainment. B'Day (released in September 2006) continued to sell like Blue Magic on a Harlem, New York, street corner in the 1970s; her Beyoncé Experience tour was sold out across the country (hey, she still deserves a standing ovation for falling down all those stairs in Florida and hopping back up); and those videos ... have mercy! Fans couldn't get enough of "Get Me Bodied," "Irreplaceable" and "Upgrade U."

3. Justin Timberlake

How can the Prince of Pop be on an R&B list? Did you listen to the album? Justin's FutureSex/LoveSounds (released in September 2006) stormed into '07 on the strength of Timbaland's mud-sopped funk, brutal bass and clean synths and Timberlake's suburban-rebel charm. "My Love," "LoveStoned" and "Summer Love" rocked every iPod, stereo player and stadium on his tour. Meanwhile, JT and the SoundScan Killer himself, 50 Cent, hooked up for "Ayo Technology."

4. Akon

He threw a kid offstage, got nasty with an underage girl in a club and probably cost Gwen Stefani a few million in sponsorship money, but alas, Akon remained a worldwide draw. "I Wanna Love You" and "Smack That" carried over from last year, while "Don't Matter," "Mama Africa" and guest spots on records such as DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over," Plies' "Hypnotized" and Wyclef's "Sweetest Girl" sustained his popularity this year. Plus — and it's a very big plus — his scouting continued to pay off with the overwhelming success of the man he signed to a recording contract, T-Pain. We'll see if new additions to his roster, such as Brooklyn MC Red Café and TLC's Chili, pay off in '08.

5. R. Kelly

"Did she say there was other guys there? Were there other guys therrrrre?" The outlandish writing stayed at a premium for the King of Rhythm and Blues throughout his Double Up LP ("Real Talk," "Sex Planet," "Sweet Tooth," "Same Girl" and its remix) and the new chapters of "Trapped in the Closet." When he stepped outside of his own projects, Kells levied an onslaught of memorable guest spots including Snoop Dogg's "That's That," Young Jeezy's "Go Getta," Ciara's "Promise" remix and Fat Joe's "Make It Rain" remix. Even Michael Jordan didn't win the MVP every year — but that doesn't mean his game wasn't lethal.

6. Rihanna

Rih Rih chopped her curls into a slick bob, ditched the cute singles in exchange for sexy anthems and in the process became a tabloid target and ubiquitous presence on magazine covers. It started with her sexy hit "Umbrella" and the even sexier accompanying visuals that netted her a VMA win for Video of the Year. The Barbadian beauty's rumored romances with Shia LaBeouf and Josh Hartnett made headlines and helped her break away from the pack of teen starlets, putting her in the company of superstars like Beyoncé, Fergie and Gwen Stefani. Her third single, the Ne-Yo duet "Hate That I Love You," helped to showcase Rihanna's maturing vocal chops and proved she's not a one-hit wonder-er-er-er.

7. Alicia Keys

Since her debut, we've watched Miss Keys evolve from Harlem's ghetto songbird, cooing about the pains of love, into a global voice of indignation, raising the spirits of women and rallying against social injustices. She's as likely to fight for the rights of AIDS patients as she is to fight against radio formats. "No One," the lead single from her third album, As I Am, sounds nothing like a top 40 or R&B hit, yet the song has rested comfortably near the top of both charts. Add in the acting credits under her belt, including this year's "The Nanny Diaries," and there's no question about Keys' ability to push the R&B game to even further heights.

8. Chris Brown

One of these days C. Breezy is gonna become the first artist to literally dance his way into people's living rooms. There's no way cameras and TV sets are gonna be able to keep containing the Virginia native's explosive star power at the rate it's rising. Brown released his sophomore album, Exclusive, which features the MJ-esque "Wall to Wall" and the T-Pain-assisted smash "Kiss Kiss." He stole the show at this year's Video Music Awards with his rousing performance. And then he took his act to the big screen with a breakout role in the ensemble cast of "This Christmas." It's time to start watching ya back, Ursh.

9. Ne-Yo

He was great on his tour with R. Kelly ... all two dates of it. Oh well. Despite his differences with the Pied Piper (Ne-Yo alleges he got kicked off the tour because he was upstaging Kelly), everybody else loves the Las Vegas native. He has another platinum certification on his résumé thanks to Because of You, and his reputation as a writer was boosted with Beyoncé's irrevocably dope "Irreplaceable" and his duet with Rihanna, "Hate That I Love You." Still, the perennial overachiever hit us upside the head for good measure with Fabolous' "Make Me Better," a track he co-wrote and on which he sang.

10. Amy Winehouse

Amy, baby! Rich with throwback soul and lyrics so real that many of them have replayed themselves in tabloid headlines, Winehouse's Back to Black may just be the R&B album of the year. The British songstress had everything in place: The artistically bountiful music (from a chick whose personality came across as real as any MC from the 'hood) was rewarded with multiple Grammy nominations, critical coos and a platinum plaque.
