Okayplayer dropped a hot new Jill Scott exclusive track titled, "Hate On Me".

SandraRose hipped me to what Fox News is reporting about Clive Davis and his thoughts on Fantasia.

New York's Daily News is reporting that Usher is calling up all the radio stations telling peeps to stop picking on his fiance Tameka Foster.

Kelly Rowland doesn't even get the full print run of the forthcoming King Magazine.

A while back I told y'all about SOHH's meetup with T-Pain.

Mariah Carey is on another adventure it seems.

Mariah, Benny Medina and Spike Lee all got together to shoot a spoof of her life called "Lovers & Haters."

All of us Michael Jackson fans that have ever dreamed of a reunion with gifted writer, composer, producer Quincy Jones have just had our hopes dashed. Quincy passes on the opportunity to re-team with magic Mike.

Damn!

Me & Mr. Jones...

As expected, more lawsuits emerge from the fatal car crash caused by Brandy late last year.

sick and tired of the lawsuits

SOHH SOULFUL EXCLUSIVE!

Every good artist has a solid cover tune in their arsenal that they should be able to pull out at a moments notice that will calm any restless crowd. Bobby Valentino has chosen Babyface's "Soon As I Get Home" as his.

At least five people have said to me that Mario's new single "How Do I Breathe" sounds like Ne-Yo. I am sure they weren't comparing vocal ability as much as they meant the lyrics and arrangement wreak of Shaffer.

Ne-Yo seems to be in all the right places. He just dropped his second single, "Do You" and still managed to have enough time to save Fabolous' new cd with the second single, ironically titled "Make Me Better."

Hip Hop going ultra pop... rock even is happening a lot more frequently. Timbaland's second release from Shock Value is "Throw It On Me" featuring The Hives.

As you know VH1 is running the documentary Last Days of Left Eye. Last week the director told the NY Daily News that one of the most uncomfortable parts of creating the film was to determine just how much of Left Eye's car crash to show. She was filming her life for 30 days and the camera was rolling at the time of the accident.

Since R. Kelly doesn't flirt with the press, he created R. Kelly TV to give fans some insight in to his world..

According to the NY Post... Broadway favorite and regular Audra McDonald was bounced from playing Maggie from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for.....

meow!

As promised, Lauryn Hill shows up with new music for the animated film Surf's Up.

Shout out to Rocky for making sure I got my hands on this new track from Keyshia Cole titled "Let It Go" featuirng Lil Kim and Missy

As you all know, "Making The Band" is returning to MTV, but apparently Diddy fired choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson during one of the recent tapings here in New York City.

I am still a bit undecided on how I feel about Robin Thicke's most recent comments around a controversial song, "Cocaine," on his CD The Evolution of Robin Thicke.

Robin Thicke does NOT say no to drugs!

Ciara has been kinda quiet lately... that was until it was announced that she is the new face of ROCAWEAR!

First off lemme congratulate my dude Bobby V for a damn good showing on the Billboard charts this week with the debut of his sophomore cd Special Occasion.

With this episode of Bobby V TV... I get the peeps at the Wendy Williams Experience to allow my cameras in the studio during Bobby's interview last week.

SOHH, now Nelly is the latest person to dream of a hit record that features both Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson.

Like I always say... Beyonce has so much going on... it makes keeping it moving seem effortless. As if scoring a beauty contract with Emporio Armani wasn't enough good news in a week, ya girl ups and dominates the BET Award nominations.

Not too long ago we spoke about TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes being remembered in the VH1 flick , Last Days of Left Eye. Well, on the heels of all that is leaked music from her former bandmember Chili.

Janet Jackson performed this past Friday at the opening of "Atlantis - Phase III" in The Bahamas.

Chris Brown is celebrating his birthday all across the country. Last night he had a free concert in Atlanta featuring Lil Mama.

If you couldn't tell... Soulman was gone for a minute but now I am back with the jumpoff: music from Solange Knowles.

odd duck turned swan???

Ever wonder what happened to those other guys that were in MISTA, the group that Bobby V was a part of before going solo and joining DTP?

In this episode, Bobby reunites with the crew, performs at Ladies Night in Atlanta and clowns around with fellow R&B crooner Lloyd.

There has been a silly rumor circling the Internet regarding Atlanta R&B Quartet, Nephu, Usher and R.Kelly. And at the root of the dispute is a song that has been recorded by Nephu as well as the crooner, and pied piper of R&B. Many gossip blogs and media sites are claiming that Usher and R. Kelly allegedly stole the song "Same Girl" right from up under them. And after doing a little research I found out that's not exactly what's going on.

What's good SoHH Soulful fans, this is Gyant stepping in for Soulman while he's away taking care of business. I got some info on Ne-Yo for y'all.

A while back I spoke on how Erykah was featured in Heart & Soul magazine and announced she'd be out with an album this year.

At a photo shoot for the Source magazine, Jimmy Cozier confirmed that Cheri Dennis is indeed a part of his crew at Cozier Entertainment.

Bobby Valentino had his album release party in Atlanta last night!

Over the past few days some good stuff has popped up on the internet. Check out these tracks from Chris Brown, Bobby Valentino and Amerie.

After all that humping around, the communications giant severs ties with Akon and everything he is affiliated with!

konvicted

Hot off the press... not only has Omarion and Bow Wow made up and are now homies again... the two are capitalizing off their fame and are showing Jay Z and R. Kelly how it's done.

I'm starting to feel like Mya loves wasting people's time.

Bobby Valentino recently sat down with Soulman to not only discuss the happenings around his new CD, Special Occasion (May 8th), but we also met up with his old band MISTA, I hung out backstage as he performed with Ludacris and checked in with dude at the studio, etc.-- all of which will be a part of Bobby V TV.

I ran into Cheri Dennis yesterday at a photo shoot for The Source magazine. She was all excited about her return to the fray via Jimmy Cozier and Cozier Entertainment/Bad Boy?

Mathew Knowles is in the papers again, this time to defend / straighten out misconceptions on who wrote what on B'Day and to give Ne-Yo credit where credit is due.

More rumblings from the Usher man!

Ya boy R. Kelly is at it again.

After all that bull-ish and hoopla over the supposed leaked sex tape with Kim Kardashian, it is revealed that Ray J is indeed a pimp.

Amerie is getting into acting but says she wants to be taken seriously.
