However, that’s not all Brown has in store for his fans. He is also set to embark on a world tour beginning in January 2011. Expect to see Brown performing shows in the UK and Australia before ending the trek in the US in Spring around the time that his new ”F.A.M.E.“ album hits stores.

Others claim that shortly after releasing “Between The Lines” which features his fellow “Deuces” collaborator producer and aspiring rapper/singer Kevin McCall. Chris Brown announced via twitter that he will be releasing a followup to his standout ‘In My Zone’ mixtape. The singer, whose latest single, “Yeah 3x,” recently debuted at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100, will drop ‘In My Zone 2′ on Black Friday (November 26th). However, that’s not all Brown has in store. He is also set to embark on a world tour beginning in January 2011.  The tour which is set to begin in January 2011 will kick off in the UK and will then hit Australia in February and will draw to a close in the US in the Spring. As of yet, no dates or cities have have been announced.

MySpace Music tagged along for a day in the life of Ciara, following her to a radio station, workout session, wardrobe fitting, and the studio with Tricky Stewart. Her adorable pups Tyson and Georgia also make cameos. Stick around until the end for some candid moments that will leave you laughing.

As odd as it may seem, I wouldn’t be too surprised if this is more than just an artist producer relationship – if you get my drift. We all know of The-Dream’s past and failings, so i’m sure now he’s just moving on to the next person her can grab. I hope Ciara, uses the common sense she has and stays as far away as possible from this guy! We all know The-Dream‘s music and producing talent has now finished and is expired, and so is his love life!!!

Be sure to see these together a lot more now, And I give it about six months before CiCi will be pregnant with his baby, FACT!

With album just recently certifying Gold, there is no doubt this album will still be flying off the shelf – Much like the Hayley Williams-featured “Airplanes“, “Don’t Let Me Fall” features piano-laden, heavy bass beats, and B.o.B‘s flow about living a dream and not losing momentum. But, to add to his ethereal moment, “Don’t Let Me Fall” is accessorised with trickling synthesizers.

The Atlanta-based MC and producer, real name Bobby Ray, has already had two songs from the album reach the Top 5 of Billboard’s 100 chart, “Nothin’ on You” and “Airplanes“.

Of course we can all now see that as much as B.o.B. is a talented rapper and indeed songwriter, does this guy need a feature on every track for it to get radio play? – But in reverse, B.o.B is responsible for these new baby stars such as Bruno Mars.

How did you link up with Usher? “Well, Usher and I first started collaborating work-wise on the “I Invented Sex (Remix),” but we’ve known each other for a while and he’s always been someone I could come to for advice. Furthermore, he’s paved the way for guys like myself to even do what we do. So to go on tour with Usher, who’s now at iconic status—I believe—and for me to be involved and to know that I mean something to the tour is an amazing feeling.”

What kind of influence has he had on your career? “Well Usher was one of the first young sex symbol kind of artists of my generation. It’s because of guys like him that I’m even able to do this.” What are your favorite Usher songs? “Nice & Slow,” some of the earlier Usher stuff, “You Make Me Wanna…” and “Burn.” He’s had hit after hit after hit after hit.

How is this going to be different from your last tour? You’re going from theaters to arenas and you’ve got me sharing the crowd with Usher. Different things go into the mind when preparing for the show. I’m sure the audience will be packed with ladies…

Yeah. Ladies galore [laughs].

Lots of panties onstage…
That’s what we aim for. Woo!

It was previously noted that the femme fatales had worked on a track called “Raining Men” for RiRi’s fifth album Loud, but the two might have something else up their sleeves. “Nicki Minaj, we did a song together called “Raining Men” and we might be working on her album together also,” the Bajan babe tells London’s 95.8 Capital FM.

She also shares what her boyfriend Matt Kemp thinks of the “fearless, bold, and expressive” Loud. “For the most part, he actually loves everything on the album but “Who’s That Chick“ he doesn’t really like that one,” she laughs. “I guess it’s too lightweight pop for him.”

However, the L.A. Dodger is a fan of the LP’s slower cuts. “He really likes the ballads on the album. Those are his favorite ones.”

Most of the tracks are uptempo except for two powerful ballads called “Scared of Beautiful” and her personal favorite “California King (Bed),” which she predicts will be the biggest song off the project. Rihanna hopes to go on tour again next year and is already thinking about a repackaging of Loud. – So brace yourselves for yet another Rihanna tour! It was also rumoured that Rihanna is working on her début fragrance to go alongside the Loud album – how original!

“Victory!” he wrote, suggesting that his oft-delayed third album “Lasers” may be released after months of the label pushing back its date.

Fans were planning to march outside of the label’s NYC headquarters on “Fiasco Friday” if a release date wasn’t announced before October 15. Lupe himself tweeted that he would be in attendance to support the cause if label heads didn’t give in to their demands.

Fans of Lupe Fiasco took to their twitters too when news broke out, saying that the relationship that Lupe Fiasco has with Warner Brothers - Atlantic Records have need to stay at a workable level, it came to the point where even some believed that his hints of leaving Atlantic would of damaged his career as he would of not been able to be placed on any other label.

Breezy appeared on Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 radio show on Wednesday to discuss the cancelled outing. “We kinda had different views on the tour—no beef,” explained Chris. “We both have two different promoters, so whoever would get the tour would have to work it out and I think they didn’t see eye to eye. I think we rushed into it. We were in love with the idea more than the actual [business part of it]. We couldn’t get ready for it. Hopefully in the future, we might work something out.”

While Usher may have gone with his other R&B peer Trey Songz, Chris doesn’t hold a grudge, but does admit that he and Ursh don’t have a close relationship. “It’s whatever, we cool. I’m cordial and that’s with everybody,” said Chris. “I don’t have friends in this industry. I have my circle and I have my people who’ve been with me through the bad times and the good times. Everybody else is just wallpaper.” After the recent success of “Deuces,” industry folk came calling, but Chris could see through their fakeness. “I wasn’t like bitter. Now I see you for you. Get your money, do you. We can be cordial, we can be cool. Other than that, I don’t need to be your homie, like we don’t gotta go hang out.”

His experiences of the past year taught him who were his true friends. “I kinda just got a gauge of who was there and who wasn’t, so now I know who I can deal with. There’s people in my phone I’ll call and they’re my homies. I don’t need no more friends. Oh, you need me to do something for you? Holla at my manager.”

While he does maintain some industry relationships with those who supported him through his trying times, he has a message to the ones that weren’t there when he needed them most. “Kick some rocks.”

What’s better than shopping with Rihanna? Having Rihanna shop for you! The pop star played personal stylist to five girls, who won a competition to meet the singer and have her style them at Topshop Oxford Circus in London, this week. Rocking a “She Died for Perfection” shirt and long tulle skirt with heels and socks, the red-haired fashionista picked out a few items including a pair of leopard heels.

Looks like RiRi is dying for some UK love, when after her label Island Def Jam where shocked to see the poor sales of Rihanna’s “Rated R” in the UK despite the the X-Factor performance of “Russian Roulette“. Island Def Jam expect Rihanna’s much awaited new LP “LOUD” to be what it’s called! The album is set to open at number one on the billbaord hot 100 and has already certified Gold in album  pre-orders alone! “Only Girl (In The World)” according to some Rihanna fans is set to be RiRi’s 8th number one single.

West took to his new Twitter page (which he only just recently joined!) to answer the question his fans have been asking, what will he name his fifth album? “The album is no longer called Good Ass Job I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now,” he wrote.

He earlier announced that he would continue the college theme of his previous albums “The College Dropout“, “Late Registration“, and “Graduation“. “Good Ass Job” was to be the last installment in the series.

Kanye West’s fifth album is scheduled for a September 14 release, and with very little hype around Mr West himself it looks like this project could be on the verge of crashing to the ground. We got a chance to speak to an insider of the project who told us “Well, first of all, if you look at all of Kanye West‘s output, he actually did a lot to bring back sampling and make it cool again, even though he’s more of a mainstream artist…but his new album is strictly hard beats and rhyme. He’s totally done with electro. You’re gonna be surprised what you hear.”

I’m still undecided about what exactly Kanye West‘s sound is, with very little time push out the album and with the first single off the LP (this isn’t even the official lead) “Power“, there is no doubt that this project will get pushed back all the way to 2011.

After over a decade, Alicia Keys has ended her business relationship with longtime manager Jeff Robinson. Keys and Robinson released a joint statement on Friday (July 16) announcing their split. “Jeff Robinson, CEO of MBK Entertainment Inc., and 12-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys have decided to change the structure of their business relationship,” read the statement. “Robinson and Keys will continue to collaborate and produce future albums together through MBK/J Records while Alicia will now oversee all aspects of her own personal career.”

The decision was “mutually agreed upon and amicable.” Moving forward, Keys’ own company AK Worldwide will oversee ventures including touring and licensing to film, television, and new business development. “This decision will allow Alicia more control over all aspects of her career from singing and songwriting, to leading many business ventures and social causes,” continued the statement.

Robinson had been Keys trusted friend and manager since she was 14 years old. He is credited as executive producer on her last four studio albums. “I have known Alicia since she was 14. She has matured as an artist, going from a ‘wide-eyed and curious-about-the-world girl’ to a ‘wide-eyed and curious-about-the-universe woman,” Robinson told us magazine in 2007. “She continues to absorb knowledge like a sponge and I feel like a proud father watching his daughter grow into a take-charge woman.” Robinson’s company MBK Entertainment Inc. will focus on developing other acts including LeToya Luckett, Jermaine Paul, and Elle Varner.
