I always felt like Chris Brown was the second coming to Usher but when the whole Rihanna thing surfaced I was sure if he was going to be able to recover, because it seemed every media outlet was hands off the kid. But with time Chris seems to be back to his winning ways and people are beginning to embrace him again, so lets keep pushing for the brother. Here is a clip of him and Usher having a dance off in Jamaica as Elephant Man Don Kings the whole battle lol.

Alicia Keys is singing a salute to her manager Jeff Robinson as she sends him packing. The songstress recently fired Robinson supposedly due to heavy commission splits. Sources say it’s not a coincidence; “her fiancé Swizz Beatz definitely played a huge part in killing him off,” an industry insider says
Robinson had been charging the pop star a 25 percent commission for some time. When she was an undiscovered kid, he was paid even more, up to 33 percent, our source said, adding, “She got smart — and got a smart boyfriend — after years of people around her telling her she was crazy to let this continue to happen.”
An announcement said, “Keys and Robinson have mutually and amicably agreed to pursue other opportunities. This decision will allow Alicia [and her company, AK Worldwide] more control over all aspects of her career.”
I have to say the for an artist of her caliber 25% is a hell of a lot, but in his defense I’m sure he’s played a major roll in her becoming the super star that she is today. I think that it might be some other factors for the split because you would think after all the years and success that the two have experienced together those numbers could have been worked out; but in the crazy business of show biz who knows. It will be very interesting to see if her brand will be affected by the change in management because she’s definitely at the top of her game right now.

Ali-Ollie Woodson, who led the legendary Motown quintet The Temptations in the 1980s and ’90s and helped restore them to their hit-making glory with songs including “Treat Her Like A Lady,” has died, a friend said. He was 58.
Woodson died Sunday in southern California after battling cancer, Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson said. Wilson said Woodson’s wife, Juanita, told him about the death Sunday.
Woodson was not an original member of the group, which had several lineup changes since it started in the 1960s. But he played an integral part in keeping the Temptations from becoming just nostalgia act.
By the early 1980s, the Temptations were no longer posting hit after hit like they did in the 1960s and ’70s with classics such as “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” “My Girl,” and “I Wish It Would Rain.”
The group had lost original members, and Woodson was charged with replacing Dennis Edwards, whose passionate voice defined the group during the 1970s.
Woodson’s voice, though similar to Edwards’ with its fiery tone, was distinct in itself, and helped the group notch the R&B hits “Treat Her Like A Lady,” “Sail Away,” and “Lady Soul,” from 1984 to 1986.

Over the decades, much has been made of what is in a fragrance bottle — hope or science? For Mary J. Blige, it’s transformation.
“I wanted my fragrance to be something special for my female fans,” said Blige of her new fragrance with Carol’s Daughter, My Life, named for her landmark 1994 recording of the same name. The album represented a major turning point in Blige’s life and by using it as a reference, she is attempting to encapsulate her decade long transformation and triumph.
“I was crying out for help, because I was going through so much,” she said of the period around the time of the recording, speaking exclusively to WWD on the set of the ad shoot for her scent. “And four million women said, ‘Mary, we’re going through it, too, but you’re helping us by calling on us.’ From that day on, I began speaking truths about my life, and about their lives, and everything around us. So it’s a special tribute to us as women. My fans and I are smart now. We know we’re smart now, but we didn’t know it then. We know we’re beautiful now, we didn’t know it then. We’re educated now, we didn’t know it then. We’re soft, we’re edgy we’re all those things. And I wanted this perfume to represent every female’s everyday life.” Click Here For More
