Celebs were out & about in full force last night in Atlanta. Fantasia (who’s no longer Dro’s boo) and pals Tiny and Kandi Burrus partied at The Velvet Room. While Keyshia Cole showed off her new look at Club ESSO.

But while her friends partied the night away, where was songstress Monica? I spoke with someone very close to Mo yesterday and I’m told that Mo’s fiance Rocko surprised Mo with the gift of a lifetime – but I can’t tell you what it is.

I also heard a snippet of one of the 4 songs Monica recorded with Super-producer Ne-Yo last week at his Compound studio. The song sent chills up and down my spine! It’s a slow ballad along the lines of “Still Standing” – but better!

I was also told that unlike other producers, Ne-Yo is not a diva in the studio. Other producers – who shall not be named – are very diva-like. They slow down and disrupt the recording process by demanding perks like imported lobster and fresh-cut flower arrangements (I wish I could tell you who did that, lol).

They also demand first-class plane tickets and thousand dollar per night hotel suites for them AND their entourages! No wonder the music industry sucks right now.

Mo will be out & about all weekend performing at various venues. Make sure you listen to V-103 and Hot 107.9 for more details on where she’ll be.
