Lester says he donated sperm to help Jackson conceive children and was made the Godfather of the children thereafter. No comment from the Jackson family (yet).

Although I stopped caring about the Grammys a long time ago, the one category that I continue to keep an eye on is Best New Artist, which was always my favorite back when I still gave a damn about the rest of them. This year, the line-up is a bit on the weak side, with the exclusion of Carly Rae Jepsen leaving very little gender variety. (I'd be happy with The Lumineers or Frank Ocean, the two acts behind my two favorite singles of 2012 , but fun. is probably the one to beat [...]
Ah, the great Toni Braxton has taken more than her fair share of hits, hasn't she? From legal drama to label drama, the powerhouse chanteuse hasn't always had her fair chance to shine. And now, it seems, that may have finally gotten to her. In an appearance on Good Morning America this morning to promote her new film, Braxton said that she's hanging up her hat, at least for the time being. "I don't feel the love for music anymore," she said, a little bit sadly. "It's not affecting me [...]

WTF HAS HAPPENED TO THE TONI BRAXTON 'S FACE ?? YES ! UPPERCASE REQUIRED !! SADNESS. OFFICIAL.

Yes, just when you thought Tamar Braxton couldn't make a comeback in the shadows of Toni Braxton, something else pops up. It turns out tamar Braxton's husband is Vince Herbert who helped sign such greats as Mindless Behaviour and the lesser-known Lady Gaga. Just in time of the release of Tamar's new single "Love & War" Lady Gaga shot a tweet that reads like this: K I NEVER PROMOTE ARTISTS but if u want your mind blown check @ tamarbraxtonher "Love & War" She's Toni Braxton sister + her voice is BEYOND— [...]

Maybe it says more about how terrible R&B has gotten than about how great it used to be, but lately, I've actually found myself sort of nostalgic for '00s soul. Not so much the R&B stars of the aughts who are still putting out the hits (or trying to), but the ones who aren't, the supernovas who flickered brightly but relatively briefly: Ashanti, Christina Milian (whom I just saw a couple of nights ago doing God knows what on The Voice ) and Destiny's Child. Though solo Beyonce has her moments, there was nothing quite like [...]

As Fiona Apple recently reminded me with The Idler Wheel... , what you sing sometimes matters as much as how you sing it. A good beat will forever have its place (much like a memorable melody), but there's nothing quite so powerful as words -- words that make you laugh, words that make you cry, words that run through your mind -- sometimes a cappella, sometimes not -- as you run through the city. (I'm a journalist/writer/editor, so I'm particularly susceptible to word envy.) When Kylie Minogue opens "Illusion" (from 2010's Aphrodite ) [...]

Yesterday when I was heading home from my morning run around Bangkok's Lumphini Park, I ran into the French expat who lives and works at the hotel where I live and was returning from her own early morning run. Well, actually, she sneaked up on me and grabbed me from behind, causing me to practically jump out of my running shoes. But it was what she said once she had my attention that surprised me most. "I saw you when you were running around the park," she told me. "I [...]

It's a shame about the song's backslide on this week's Billboard Hot 100 (from its apparent peak of No. 17 to No. 19), but sometimes it's better to look good than to sell well. And just when I thought Jennifer Lopez couldn't make fortysomething look any better than she did last year in her "I'm Into You" video, she outdoes herself in her latest clip, "Dance Again." I dare any of today's reigning pop princesses who are decades younger than she is to try this at home. With the video, Lopez does what every great video [...]

We don't know what to say, but this video is not doing the song any justice. Only the bit with the headpiece is cute, the rest looks poorly edited and just not up to par. The song is strong it needed a better video, she should have taken lessons from Kelis on making dance videos with a budget.

Looking to capitalize on all the exposure from Braxton Family Values, the album is set to drop in the summer. There are many reports on the album so give the name in plural and other in singular. We are going to give it to you in plural because we like it better. And the album is titled... Gemstones Related articles [...]
