As we mentioned before, Ashanti isn't using long time collaborator Irv Gotti on her forthcoming cd.

Yep, you guessed it.... more video from the "Making The Band 4" Live Finale.

Jamie Foxx did what he normally does and says something from out in left field.

Chris Brown taped an episode of the "Tyra Show" today and revealed an intimate secret!

As we mentioned before, Mariah Carey is featured in the new Interview magazine.

In this quick news round up, Beyonce's choreographer for "Freakum Dress" and "Suga Mama" speaks on whether she can really dance or is it all smoke and mirrors; Chris Brown covers Vibe magazine and LeToya Luckett has got the look.

Alicia Keys has kept peeps waiting long enough.

Keyshia Cole is reppin' on the cover of Sister2Sister.

Y'all know y'all remember Salt n Pepa!

Every time we do a video interview, for archiving purposes, we get the artists/interviewees to do a drop for us.... check out how some people say/spell SOHH.com!

So this apology song Akon supposedly wrote in response to humping that 14 year old girl in Trinidad like he was R. Kelly-- ain't even written by the Kon!

loser!

Last night was the season finale of MTB4 live in Times Square.

Ciara and T.I are headling the Screamfest which also features Yung Joc and Lloyd.

As you know, Solange Knowles performed last week during the Spotlight Live showcase in New York City.

Although it's being overblown, Beyonce's tit flash was pretty moot here in the States given that Janet Jackson did that better too, but Malaysian officials say they will arrest her if she pulls that invisible, skin colored bra crap in their country.

Beyonce confirmed she is heading back into the studio this year for a CD due out early 2008.

Kanye West drapes the cover of XXL quite nicely, however, I am suprised-- not shocked-- at the comments he made about the honorable Justin Timberlake.

This just in.....

I am not sure if it's her proximity to Janet Jackson via Jermaine Dupri, but Mariah Carey got it a bit twisted. And that ish breaks my heart, 'cause SOULMAN usually goes hard for all things Mimi.

Mariah clearly doesn't watch Top Model....LOL!

Jagged Edge has a lot to live up to, not only because they made magic back in the day, but also because they were the first act Jermaine Dupri signed when he headed over to Island Def Jam.

That and the fact that Diddy is about to announce the members of his new boy band and as you know, there is only room for like one, maybe two boy bands in any man's playlist at a time.

You'd think with shows like "Jackass" and all that, MTV wouldn't be so hard on poor 17 year old Sean Kingston and the lyrics to his hit, "Beautiful Girls."

You would believe the amount of email I've been getting in regards to the Jermaine Dupri/Bow Wow situation. So what we did was take Bow Wow's bark and juxtaposed it with J.D.'s bite in our popular Word 4 Word video series.

Jill Scott will be the featured artist on the debut of VH1 Soul's new show "Soulstage."

As if 50 Cent jumping on the bandwagon wasn't enough, Talib Kweli is the next rapper to be in love with all things Justin Timberlake.

In our weekly search for any kind of reportings on Kelly Rowland... we've found this pertinent information.

ran out of new photos....

Nicole Scherzinger shows up on "So Yo Think You Can Dance" and well... I guess since the PCD were known for dancing, it's only right that the now solo lead singer thinks she can dish out lessons.

So not only is Beyonce' dropping her Spanish language album tomorrow, she is dropping a new CD in the summer in 2008. And talks up her next movie role.

Her name is Nicole.

Last night Soulman took in the Justin Timberlake show from a luxury sky box at Madison Square Garden.

It was just yesterday that Soulful dropped the scoop on Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow's lil tiff-- from Bow Wow's perspective. Last night JD blessed us with his take on it all....

Since capturing this year’s Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B album with B’Day, Beyoncé has set her sights on new challenges, overcoming language barriers with her newest project Irreemplazable.. Scheduled for release August 21st, the eight track EP features original material as well as Spanish versions of songs from her multi-platinum sophomore release B’Day and platinum soundtrack Dreamgirls.

When I heard that the follow up single for Eve's new CD was that song with Sean Paul, I saw rough patches ahead!

Bow Wow and Omarion are dropping a joint cd a la R. Kelly and Jay Z.... instead of it being the Best of Both Worlds... it's a Face Off.

Janet Jackson is up next with... Why Did I Get Married? where she stars alongside Jill Scott and the film's creator & director Tyler Perry.

There is a whole lot of nothing going on so I figured I'd hit y'all with some of the latest happenings with Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Pretty Ricky and Nicole Scherzinger.

While R. Kelly awaits his trial to start on Sept 17th... IFC is running the forthcoming chapters of Trapped in the Closet.

Fan or hater, damn near everyone is expecting Whitney Houston's first post Bobby Brown CD.

If you add up 50 Cent's spat with Kanye (shout out to SOHH.com Senior Correspondent Carl Chery) plus his recent videos featuring Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke, it seems 50 is either next in line to be in a boy band or accept his title as the new Ja Rule!

Solange Knowles (minus the hyphenated Smith) was on the "Today Show" hawking Baby Jamz... hip hop toys for kids... that's right, now you can buy toys that will teach you child how to pop and twerk, aspire for a hit ringtone and ultimately launch a fashion line.

Diddy's latest efforts to climb up from the B-list has him re-launching the Sean John Women's Collection.

Jill Scott, who not only scored a lead in a new tv show, is dropping new music.

One of Beyonce's and Eve's favorite producers, Swizz Beatz, got with SOHH to talk about his current projects, including his new cd.

British tabloids are reporting that Amy Winehouse checked into rehab.

Nicole Scherzinger is preppin her new cd and like all other peeps trying to do anything these days, she is bloggin and what not. Check her out at hernameisnicole.com!

Angie Stone is featured in the upcoming Essence magazine and one of the issues she addressed was the scrutiny her relationship with D'Angelo went once they became famous.

kudos to "Celebrity Fit Club"

While his single "How Do I Breathe" bubbles and peeps await the October release of GO!, Mario has been a busy lil beaver. He recently made a stop at the White House where he performed the National Anthem.

Since the internet has been all a buzz for her upcoming AMEX commercials, Emporio Armani makes for great timing with Beyonce (the clearly paid for Sasha) in their new Emporio Armani Diamonds tv spots.

don't forget her Samsung deal...

According to reports or lack of reports from her fan sites, it's official...

It might have been hella more impactive had it come out about a month or so ago... but Akon has finally done a video for that song where he apologizes for basically just being an azzhole.

Diddy said it best, somebody is always trying to take your spot.Ne-Yo's position as favorite songwriter of the moment seems up for grabs. New Def Jam signee, The Dream, kicked it with SOHH Soulful exclusively to talk about his new projects, writing "Bed" for J. Holiday and "Umbrella" for Rihanna.

You cannot say you are surprise that Justin Timberlake and Beyonce received the most nominations for this year's MTV VMAs.

Prosecutors in Brandy's vehicular manslaughter case are split on whether or not to prosecute.

no one is there to dry my eyes.... I NEED YOU!

Lauryn Hill dipped in to Brooklyn last night for a free concert.

ease on down, ease on down the road!

According to the Chicago Sun Times, the woman prosecutors believe is in the sex tape with R. Kelly is expected to take the stand in support of Kells. WTF?

AOL Sessions recently premiered Eve's live in studio performances.

The weekend was live in New York City. Beyonce and her 'experience' took residency at Madison Square Garden.

By now everyone has read that Beyonce is adding financial giant American Express to her long list of multi million dollar endorsements. I did some looking around to see what they creatives had in mind for the commercial. I am sure it'll be one of those.. musician too busy to worry about cash flow so she relies on her AMEX type commercials.

While Usher's stock in this game slowly plummets Chris Brown is doubling up efforts for Exclusive due out October 30th.

According the Chicago Sun Times, Usher and Tameka Foster were married yesterday (Aug 3rd) in a private ceremony at his lawyers office.

Lauryn Hill recently did an interview where she speaks on reports of her failing voice, her music and the Fugees.

Wendy Williams made time to chew the fat with Soulman and his crew. We've got the queen of radio on board for a major project we're developing.

Since we leak other people's ish on this site, I figured I'd drop a sneak peek of our explosive interview.

We've been hearing for a while that Solange Knowles is in the studio working on what seems to be a pretty interesting project. At the B'Day Video Anthology premiere, Mathew Knowles gave us a preview of what she's been recording, now rapper/producer Q Tip seems next in line to be all giddy about her project.

Every dog has his day and I guess R. Kelly's is....

*drum roll*

Once the single and a snippet of the video hit the internet, we knew it wouldn't be long before the full video was available of Will.I.Am's new single, "I Got It From My Mama."

Mya is slated to drop Liberation on September 18th, or so her label reps say.

Soulman asked Mya what being in the studio is like and is it an emotional process for her.

Wyclef is featured in an article with Scratch magazine poo poo'ing on all things Lauryn Hill.
