Celeb News Roundup….
Usher is planning a 15-date tour, where only women will be allowed entry hence the title of his tour, One Night Stand Tour. Usher is confident that this One Night Stand Tour will be a hit, because surely most of the material performed will be from his latest album, Here I Stand.“This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women? The ladies like to see that masculine build. They question if I still got it.”
And you damn right Usher, I wanna know if you still got it.

Jay Z has been in the game for a long time and I would be lying if I tried to guess exactly how long, but I think a long time will due. But any way, he has delivered countless hit albums over his musical career and has become a shrewd business man. In that time he has helped lots of people and probably has dissappointed a few people as well.
Foxy Brown and Teirra Mari are among the few who feel that Jay Z really disappointed them. Seemingly to me both of these young women looked up to Jay Z as a friend and father.According to Allhiphop.com, Jay Z stated;
"As far as Foxy or Teairra Mari, these are people that I have given chances to. It's understandable that they would be upset, but you got to look at it from my point of view as well. I gave Teairra Mari the same shot I gave Rihanna. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't."
Sep22008Morning Scoop…..
Let me give you the rundown, this is going to be pretty short and really sweet, so let’s go;
Diddy has will be heading to Canada to headline Canada’s CTV’s eTalk Festival Party, which will be held at the network’s Queen Street headquarters on Friday, September 5. This performance will be an open-air live performance before thousands of fan.
And I would have never thought the Dave Chappelle converted to Islam in 1998, (not that it is anything wrong with his conversion) well he did and just recently he performed at the Muslim American Society’s 1st Annual Islamic Summerfest in Ohio. I wonder what kind of jokes he told. Just a thought!
While Dave Chappelle was telling jokes before a Muslim audience, Usher has his eye on the prize. He wants to perform at the Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa Bay. Usher recently performed Thursday (August 28) at an NFL game that kicked off the season. So I am sure he may have a chance. Let’s hope!
Finally, ole Bobby Brown will be taking that stroll down the isle once again. And I do mean getting married not to see the judge. He will be marrying Alicia Etheredge who is also his manager.Sep22008Estelle’s Album Pulled From iTunes
British R&B/Rapper sensation Estelle, has taken the United States by storm in this past year with her album, Shine. Shine has been on the Billboard chart and had not shown any signs of dropping off anytime soon until the album had been recently removed from iTunes. Once the album was removed from the iTunes, it went from No. 38 to No. 159 on the chart.
The reason that was given for removing the album from iTunes was Warner, Estelle’s record label. wanted to encourage Estelle’s fans to purchase the CD in stores, which of course hopefully would mean more money for the record company.
According to Warner spokesman, this was a strategy used to optimize and promote a longterm artist development.
Hopefully, this drop on the chart does not do any overall damage to her record sales in the long run.
