Star Blog: Michelle Williams

Somebody's feelin that new Weezy! Michelle's new blog captures her true personality like no other...just real, no fakeness about her, just lets ya right in; You gotta love her!




LOL, she reminds me of myself!

I agree with her that "Don't Get Too Comfortable" is the best song on Wayne's album! Babyface was a nice touch and Kanye did his thing on the track...sound familiar to you? Well listen to the end of Alicia Key's "You Don't Know My Name" and you'll find the original. (for those who didn't figure that out by now, cuz it took me a while...lol)




UPDATE! (PT. 2 MICHELLE's BLOG)
In part two of Michelle's blog she talks a bit about her album's push back...and how she agree's with Solange's new song, "F*** the Industry (Signed Sincerely)"....oh really michelle?



Go head then and speak yo mind girl!!! we all know the dealy anyway! (Mat(cough)thew)! Poor Michelle, I feel yo pain...prayer & patience, my once gospel singing friend; Maybe God is trying to tell u something though...

WANNA HEAR IT? HERE IT GO (new music)

Solange has a new song and she's speaking her mind. The song is a spin off from Kanye's "Everything I'm Not"...Solange is calling it "F*** the Industry (Signed Sincerely)" and I must say...though i'm not a fan of foul language...this song is HOTT! I love Beyonce's vocals in the beginning...but of course if you add Bee and stir it'll always turn out great! Mad props to Solange...I feel u on being different and not trying to let the industry change you!

And see her first televised performance of “Side Effects” here:

Trina - Look back at me music video (Ft Killer Mike)

Ryan Leslie & Fabolous were caught on set of Ryan’s new video for the single “Addiction” ft. Cassie & Fabolous. Looks like the video is going to be hot:

Aw-Naw Andre....According to Ecorazzi, Andre 3000 was a complete a-hole at an un-named restaurant he went to recently. He complained about everything, even after they bent over backwards to provide dishes to accomodate his vegan diet. He got his tab reduced and didn’t bother to leave a tip.

The waiter that served him was not pleased so he went to Ebay and auctioned off the receipt. He made his tip back and then some.

I dont know this doesn't seem Andre like to me...what do you think?

Bow Wow wants to be the new Will Smith, Q-Tip's new album, and Keri Hilson promo pics

According to MTV, after two more album Bow Wow says he's ready to call it a night. The rapper says he's retiring from the rap game as early as the age of 22.

Bow Wow quotes...."I wanna be the next Will Smith....After the eighth album, I'm done. I already feel it. I love acting. I love my music like I said, but I feel it. After this one, probably one more in me and that's eight. Like, I'm one [album] behind Nas, and that's crazy."

He also talks about his potty mouth and his first sex scene on the series "Entourage". His seventh album comes out later this year. It's called The Pedigree.

Q-Tip's delayed sophomore solo album, "The Renaissance," will finally hit stores Oct. 14 via Universal Motown. Billboard reports:

The nine-track set blends live instrumentation, scratching and samples for a sound reminiscent of the rapper's work in A Tribe Called Quest.The album will tentatively open with "Shaka," a song featuring an excerpt of one of presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign speeches over a guitar-tinged beat. It still isn't official that the track will make the cut, since the sound byte hasn't been cleared yet."I start the album off with the Obama speech not just because I'm African-American, but because I really feel like he's a fresh new voice and alternative from what we've seen in the political scene in some time," Q-Tip told Billboard earlier this year

Guest artist on the album include Raphael Saadiq and Norah Jones.

Check out Keri Hilson's new promo pics. Her debut album "In A Perfect World" hits stores September 23rd.
