Brandy has been creating alot of buzz for herself lately with belting out ballads in her bathroom.  We all knew the chile can sing, but rap?  She's unleashing a rap alter-go Bran'Nu and will be teaming up with Timbaland on the new track “Meet in tha Middle. " This song is about compromising from Timbaland’s Shock Value II (Dec. 8).

 Any thoughts?

While we're on the Sean John kick, I found a great Cyber Monday sale item.  This practical, yet very rarely seen bubble leather jacket was $600 and is now $299.99.  You can't beat that!  Click here for more info.

Well look has made their way to the Home Shopping Network.  Starting tonite at 11pm, Diddy will make an appearance on HSN.  Diddy will be selling the Unforgivable and I Am King fragrances.  Don't expected his appearance to be a buy my sh*t type of ranting.  We all know when it comes to Diddy, there's no half-stepping on his ventures.  He will be interviewed in a talk-show-like format on a specially built set. 

On a side note: I purchased the Unforgivable Woman fragrance and it has been one of the best fragrances I've bought in a long time.  It's such a light scent and it lasts ALL day.  Nope, I didn't get paid to say this...LOL.  It's just a little testimonial if you're interested. 

 Here's a sneak peek of Nicki Minaj's photoshoot for Right On magazine.  She's got a Lady Gaga look going on.  She's so animated when she rhymes anyway it's cool she switched up her style a bit.  Are you feeling it?

Jay-Z appears on a single from Robin Thicke's upcoming Sex Therapy album.  It was Jay's idea to get Nicki Minaj on Robin's single "Shakin' It 4 Daddy."  In a recent interview, Robin goes on to say how the collaboration came about:

"We were in the studio, and I played him the whole album. He was like, 'You should get Nicki Minaj on that. She's got that voice. She's got that swag.' So I leaned over and was like, 'Somebody get Nicki Minaj on the phone! Jay-Z said so!' Next thing you know, we called Nicki. She was excited. But once we told her it was Jay-Z's idea to get her on the track, she started screaming on the phone. She was all excited."

With Thanksgiving being a day away, the holiday (shopping) season is approaching fast.  There will be many holiday parties to attend and  it is a must to have a fab shoe to tie your look together.  You shouldn't have to spend a month's salary to look your best.  Solange is rocking a fun pair of shoes with a neon platform.  The choices below will give you the same look she has, at a fraction of the price.

In case you missed it, Alicia Keys performed on The Today Show plaza yesterday.  She sang "Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down", "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" and "No One."  She never disappoints.  Her fourth album The Element of Freedom will be released on December 15.

Apparently Adam Lambert is too hot for daytime tv.  On the heels of his sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards, he was scheduled to perform tomorrow on Good Morning America but it was cancelled.  According to USA Today, a spokeswoman for ABC News gave a statement:

“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning.”

Well then, either way Adam Lambert's publicity numbers have shot throught the roof.  If you didn't know about his music in the past, well you do now.  I would've loved to have seen his performance though.  I wonder if it would've been less gyrating and crotch grabbing? Hmmm...

The days of the traditional head band or bow are over.  It's all about the over-the-top headpiece that can pull a look together.  You've probably haven't had a second thought of even wearing one.  I know I haven't.  Many retailers are actually making it fun to wear hair accessories.  Fashion is all about having fun, taking risks and most importantly being different.  These pieces look best worn with evening wear.  Preferably a dress.

Kelis has been off the music scene since her 2006 album Kelis Was Here.  Ms. Bossy is back with a dance track that is sure to be a hit in the clubs.  Dance/disco music is such her element.  She's such an underrated artist, but let's hope this track "Acapella" will put her back on the map. 

What do you think of this track?
