Did Brandy Throw Monica Under the Bus?
According to my inside sources, Brandy Norwood is throwing her former duet partner Monica Brown under the bus after their single “It All Belongs to Me” failed to meet expectations.
And now their upcoming tour has been scrapped. But Brandy is placing the blame for the failed tour squarely on Monica, saying Monica is more focused on her sons and husband, Shannon Brown, than she is on touring.
But that’s not true, according to my source. He told me there were issues with the top billing (whose name would go first) as well as money issues (who would get paid more). He said Brandy derailed the tour by demanding top billing and more cash upfront.
“It’s a done deal. And [the deal] fell through,” said my source.
Rihanna Debuts Her Natty Dreads On ’2012 Idol Finale’ (Video)
Superstar Rihanna debuted her new natty dreads hairstyle Wednesday night during the 2012 American Idol Final Results show. Rihanna whipped her butt length dreads back and forth while performing her hit single “Where Have You Been” during the Finale.
Earlier, Rihanna tweeted a pic of her new dreads extensions, shocking her fans who doubted she was really making the transition to dreads.
Rihanna told her fans on Twitter.com she long wanted dreads since she was 14, but her mother wouldn’t allow it. Another follower asked Rihanna if her new hair was heavy. Rihanna responded: “as Goliath’s balls.”
Fantasia and Joshua Ledet Perform Live On American Idol Finale (Video)
Singers Fantasia Barrino and Joshua Ledet brought the house down with their rousing rendition of “Take Me To The Pilot” during Fox’s ‘American Idol 2012′ results show at Nokia Theatre L.A. on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Georgia’s own Phillip Phillips was named American Idol winner after a record 132 million votes were cast.
Fantasia, who retained her baby fat after giving birth to her son, wore outfits that accentuated her voluptuous curves. Rather than appreciate the gift of Fantasia and Joshua’s amazing talents, social network users were more concerned with what Fantasia was wearing. Just messy.
Watch the performance after the break!
New Music: Whitney Houston, Jordin Sparks – Celebrate
New music, “Celebrate,” from the upcoming film remake of Sparkle, featuring the late Whitney Houston and Jordin Spark singing a midtempo duet. “Celebrate” is being promoted as Whitney’s “final” song. But we already know that Whitney’s estate (managed by PAt Houston) will somehow “find” other “final” songs recorded by Whitney in the days before she died.
Sparkle, the remake of the 1976 film starring Irene Cara, opens in theaters on Aug. 17.
R.I.P. Donna Summer, Disco Legend
Gossip website TMZ.com is reporting that disco legend Donna Summer has died after a long battle with cancer this morning in her Florida home. She was 63.
Donna Summer, real name LaDonna Gaines, was originally trained as a gospel singer before breaking into the big time as a disco singer.
The 5-time Grammy winner, whose disco hits helped redefine the music industry in the seventies, peaked on the charts with her singles “Love to Love You Baby” (1975), “Last Dance” (1978), “Hot Stuff” (1978) and “Bad Girls” (1979).
Mixing soul and funk with electro house music, Donna was dubbed Disco Queen. But her star soon faded when the industry suffered from a disco backlash in the 80s.
Still, Donna achieved more success in the 1980s with her singles “On the Radio” (!980) “She Works Hard For the Money” (1982), and “This Time I Know It’s For Real” (1988). Her most recent album, Crayons, was released in 2008.
