Chris Brown and Usher cancel joint tour
Aug 22nd
Chris Brown and Usher fans were in glee earlier this week when Bryan-Michael Cox announced that the duo were going on tour. However, even after Brown proposed to the idea on his Twitter, the plans for the show have been officially scrapped. There is no official word from either artist’s camp as to why the venture was canceled. Brown has since removed any messages referring to the tour from his Twitter page.
But according to Usher’s camp, this is all just talk – for now, at least. “There are no plans at this time for Usher and Chris Brown to tour together,” reps for the 31-year-old singer said. Brown’s reps said ditto with the statement: “There is no confirmed Chris Brown and Usher tour at this time.”
Perhaps they’re just waiting to see how badly fans want it. Brown tweeted Wednesday, “Would you pay to see an Usher and Chris Brown concert/tour,” followed by, “RT #CBUSHERTOUR if u want it to happen.” Lo and behold, at the time of this posting, #cbushertour was a trending topic.
And now this is now why I’m sticking to my new quote of the year…”I’ll believe it when I see it”, although a Chris Brown and Usher tour would of been a done deal for world wide success it seems to me that those on Usher’s side are getting a bit too greedy! I guess we’ll just be stuck with Rihanna and her squealing as the only alternative unless we go to Trey Songz’s sex show, ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’. At least we still have Lady GaGa.

Faith Evans arrested!
Aug 22nd
R&B singer Faith Evans isn’t having the best weekend. The 37-year-old caught a case last night in the Marina Del Ray section of Los Angeles after stopping at a routine drunk driving checkpoint, where police detected alcohol on her breath and arrested the recording artist on suspicion of driving under the influence.
This isn’t the first time that Evans has had a run-in with the law on account of using a substance. In 2004, the L.A.-based vocalist and her husband Todd Russaw were arrested for cocaine and marijuana possession in Atlanta. The couple spent 13 weeks in rehab following the incident, which she vaguely made reference to on her 2005 single “Again.”
Evans is currently promoting her sixth album “Something About Faith“, slated to hit stores October 5 via E1 Music. The LP, her first in almost half a decade, is led by the ballad “Gone Already” produced by Carvin & Ivan.
Never the less, I suppose this has been a huge help for her return to the music scene, right? Everyone loves a big entrance - what a way to kick start your PR and Marketing scam! – Just kidding! Keep it locked on The MoMo Show for more exclusive info as this story unravels. Read the rest of this entry »
Ne-Yo’s album gets pushed back…yet again!
Aug 22nd
Ne-Yo will have to wait to tell his story. The R&B crooner’s storybook-themed album “Libra Scale” has been pushed back a couple weeks.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s fourth studio effort will now arrive at retailers on October 19, a day after his 31st birthday, The MoMo Show has learned. It was previously scheduled to drop two weeks earlier on October 5th 2010.
The sci-fi-influenced album was inspired by Ne-Yo’s passion for acting. “The songs on the album are all songs inspired by this story I wrote,” he told us, “Libra Scale is a question of morality. Weighed out on a libra scale, if you had to choose between money, power, fame, or love, which one would you put the most value on? Which one would prevail in your life?”
The father-to-be is riding on the current success of his dance single “Beautiful Monster,” which hit No. 1 in the U.K. His follow-up single, the inspirational “One Life,” surfaced last week. Ne-Yo is set to follow-up the chart-topping success of “Beautiful Monster“, with “One Life” later on next month
Though a competent enough effort, the song sounds like it’d be at home on Ne-Yo’s earlier albums. At this point, releasing a single with a little more ‘kick’ wouldn’t go amiss. Still, the Stargate produced cut is radio friendly enough (which seems to be the aim of the game with most of Shaffer’s releases), hence should be a hit. – Well…it better be!

Usher and Chris Brown to tour together?
Aug 18th
R&B crooners Chris Brown and Usher are reportedly going on tour together. – Okay here we go!
According to their mutual friend and producer,Bryan Michael Cox, the two hit-makers are also planning on recording a track together. – I find the all really hard to believe, even though they are label friends but Chris Brown’s tour just got axed due to reasons which I’m not going to mention (don’t worry RiRi it’s not you!). And with Usher only pushing out two extention LPs to his “Raymond Vs Raymond” I just don’t see this project taking off!
The Grammy-winning songwriter revealed on YouTube: “Usher and the boy Chris Brown are going on tour, y’all know that, right? I might’ve just gave y’all some exclusive s**t!” Chris Breezy then took to his Twitter to add fuel to the fire by saying: “What would you guys say if me and Usher went on tour?” If this is to happen, we are pretty sure all the females around the world will make sure this event is sold out in no time. Good marketing skills!
But don’t get too excited, I’m sure some where down the line something or someone will get cancelled and then this would lead to more drama, and then who knows Chris Brown might even decided to hit/bite someone else (just kidding). Good luck with this one…but it’s just too good to be true! Read the rest of this entry »
T.I. pushes back “King Uncaged” to push forward “Takers”
Aug 18th
Rap star T.I. has announced that his upcoming album, “King Uncaged” will now come out next month. According to the rapper he has just really focused on promoting his new movie, “Takers“. He told us: “I pushed the album back so I can completely focus my attention to the rollout and release of this film “Takers“. I feel it wouldn’t be fair to the film or the album if I was splitting my attention span amongst the two, so I hit pause on the album to completely focus my attention to rolling out this here film.
“Once we prayerfully debut No. 1-25-plus, 20-plus million, then after those bottles have been popped and that celebration is underway, I will completely re-submerge myself back into the music, fully on album mode.” In other T.I. news, the rapper made an epic comeback in a concert that was held in New York earlier this week and he was joined onstage by the likes of Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beatz and B.o.B. R&B singer Keri Hilson and rappers Cam’ron and Maino also made appearances.
After the show Tip took to his Twitter page and posted: “Special thank you to Axe for providing a magical night for my 1st concert back!! SO (shout out) to my partners for holding me down tonight- Mjb, Keri, Cam, MAino, Ricco, Swizz, B.” – In all fairness, not 100% shocked that the album was pushed back…really come on now this is T.I. we are dealing with here.

Beyonce “I’ve ditched Sasha…and now i’m just fierce!”
Aug 18th
Beyonce has been hard at work in the studio crafting her next record recently. However, the diva took some time to talk about her life including a new revelation that might shock some of her fans – the era of Sasha Fierce may be over for good. Either that or she has just realised that she’s made enough money.
“I don’t need Sasha so much any more because these days I know who I am. It takes time to figure out who you are and I am still discovering different things about myself – as I am exposed to different experiences I think, “Oh, I like this, I didn’t know I liked this.” That’s the journey of life that is so exciting. More and more I know who I am, I know what I like, I know what I want and that makes me feel so free. I don’t need to hide any more.”
The real question is whether Beyonce will be retiring the musical persona of Sasha Fierce as well. There have been several indications that she will be taking a fresh approach with her upcoming album and if that is truly the case then it may be time to put her usual beat-driven and lyrically shallow style to rest in favour of more personal expression.”
Although she may have won several awards on the basis of popularity for ”Single Ladies“, I sense that Beyonce has been churning out such tunes as a way for her to compensate for her lack of artistic depth. Beyonce definitely has the talent to create iconic material. All she has to do is stop shaking her backside for a minute and try to find meaning in her music instead of paying people to do it for her. Read the rest of this entry »
Nothing is “Impossible” for Shontelle
Aug 14th
“Impossible” was created because Shontelle felt there were no ballads in the charts at the time. ”I knew that there was no song out there for heartbroken people. I just wanted to put a song out that gave people hope – things may not work out the way you want them to, but you can move past it and everything is gonna be okay.” Shontelle also spoke of how the song showed her vulnerable side, that it’s okay to be embarrassed by a lover and move on from it. She said she wanted the song to connect with listeners who had been through a similar situation and help them draw the strength to carry on past a break up where you’re the one in the embarrassing position.
Despite the song being almost a few months old now, “Impossible” has re-entered charts – and with this pop ballad originally written for JoJo, this song was handed to Shontelle; who then changed it and made it her own. In a nut shell this was yet another budget video! The video is a reflection of the past. During the first chorus, Shontelle is talking to her boyfriend and they start caressing. In the second chorus, Shontelle and her boyfriend are arguing while Shontelle is also shown writing a song and scribbling off words. Later, her boyfriend is having a beer at a party. He is celebrating his platinum success. Afterwards, Shontelle receives a letter from a recording studio. Later, she is putting away glasses and bottles. At the end, a reflection is shown in black and white. The final scene is kissing her boyfriend on the head, and then goes back to the present, where Shontelle is getting into a taxi. – Without a doubt, it’s a beautiful record!

Nick Cannon “My wife is my best friend…”
Aug 13th
We where lucky enough to catch up with Mariah Carey’s other half…he spoke to us exclusively over the telephone earlier this month! The interview covers variety of topics ranging from his desire to be respected by his peers, to his constant battles with the media over his wife of two years, Mariah Carey.
(Q). Where or to whom do you turn when you’re confused or challenged? I turn to God more than anything, because prayer changes things. Other than that, my wife is my best friend, so we talk about any and everything… [it] always helps to have a companion that no matter what’s going on, you can always go to that person and share everything.
(Q.) Does the media attention ever interfere with the harmony at home? No, we don’t pay any attention to the media. Once we are in the confines of our home, all of that other stuff just goes out of the window.
(Q.) Is the age difference ever an issue in your relationship?
When it comes to the age difference, my wife and I don’t even pay attention to that. I think at some point, everyone obviously recognizes that there is an age difference, but it’s just like anybody else’s relationship. You don’t really think about how old your spouse is when you’re dealing with them every day. We’re both on the same page and we both have a youthful spirit. I’ve always been around people that were a lot older than me. All of my best friends are a lot older than me, and I’ve always been attracted to people that were a little more mature than myself.
(Q). Why do you think that the public is so eager to see you take on fatherhood? I actually appreciate people wanting me to be a father. I don’t think that people understand that we have our own lives, and that we are going to do it when we want to do it, instead of when they want us to do it. But I appreciate everyone being so eager about this process between me and my wife. (Q).As a married man, what advice would you give to guys on being faithful, and keeping the romance alive? Before you get married, get it all out of your system. Don’t do it until you’re ready, and make sure that the person that you’re with is worth your faithfulness and worth your time … then you won’t even have to think about doing anything because no one will be on your wife’s level. You’ll have so much love for that person that there’s no way that you can be tempted, you wouldn’t want to lose it. It’s a simple fact. If you’ve got a 1985 Nissan Sentra, when a Bentley drives by, you’re gonna want that Bentley. But if you didn’t settle, and you make sure that you’ve got your own Bentley, then you won’t even think about any other cars when they drive by.
(Q). By contrast, what advice would you give to women to keep men engaged in the relationship? If I had to give women advice – not that I know anything – but I would just say that you should strip away your man’s ego. You have to cater to who he is as a person, and understand that we’re emotional as well, and that [the] main emotion is ego. So if you can strip away that, then everything else will be good.

Kanye West invited back to the VMAs
Aug 13th
“Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time…of all time!” - Despite his headline-grabbing appearance at last year’s show, MTV has invited Kanye West back to perform at this year’s Video Music Awards.
All eyes will be on Mr. West when he takes the stage at the 27th annual show – just make sure you brace yourselves – it may be Justin Bieber this time round.
Kanye had everyone talking after he interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at last year’s event. He was reportedly asked by MTV to leave the show following the spectacle. But the hoopla is bound to attract viewers who will be tuning in to see whether Kanye has any more surprises up his sleeve.
The VMA gig is only one of many things Kanye has planned for this year. “More music … I’m bout to drop a bunch of shit this year.. surprise performances.. guest verses… living in the studio,” tweeted the rapper, whose fifth album is set for a November release.
Maybe we should give Kanye West the benefit of the doubt – after all he did announced he was a changed man? – right? But if you’re asking me MTV is so just doing this so they boost up the views, and a VMA will never be a VMA without Kanye West!
Never the less, there might even be a fixed “interruption” (watch out Justin Bieber!) The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. (US. Time) Read the rest of this entry »
