Singer Sean Levert Has Died At Age 39



The R&B community has lost another singer. Brother of Legendary singer Gerald Levert has died. This is really sad being that his brother passed only a couple years ago. Levert was put in jail for not paying child support and he became sick. No certain cause of his death has really been specified besides him hallucinating and having high blood pressure while in jail. These past few years have been really hard for the Levert family, my heart goes out to them.

Chris Brown continues to deny relationship with Rihanna





I'm quite sure most people have heard the gossip about Chris Brown and Rihanna Dating, well they seem to deny the talks of them being a couple.

They both attended the Kids Choice Awards and walked the Orange carpet separately. "We're not in a relationship or anything," Brown told The Associated Press before Saturday's slime-filled ceremony. Chris claims he is single and him and Rihanna are just friends. Rihanna by passed the press at the ceremony, no words from her. Hmm, if they are dating they are definitely trying to keep this out of the media spotlight as a few artists who date seem do. Regardless of if they are together or not, they're both great artists and it seems like no one can get enough of them so this gossip is no surprise!!

Artists create their own social networking websites








50 Cent has more than 1 million friends on MySpace, but if the rapper ever decides to leave the social network, he'll be leaving behind those friends, too. So like a growing number of artists, he's started his own social networking site.
The name of the website is Thisis50.com, fans get the same exact features that myspace has, but 50 Cent has direct access to users and their e-mail addresses.
Kylie Minogue, Ludacris and the Pussycat Dolls are all also launching their own social networking sites. Artists can sell advertisements offer merchandise and downloads straight from the site. Also they own the content and data on how fans use the site, a feature myspace and facebook do not have.


"The thing that separates Thisis50 from MySpace is we control the e-mail database," says Chris "Broadway" Romero, director for new media at G-Unit Records, which handles Thisis50. "We can e-mail members if we want to."

These new networks are not meant to replace facebook or myspace. This is basically for the fans.

So if you are a fan of any of the artists listed above, check out their social networking websites!

Kelly receives Capital Icon award in London for DC3[Request]



Destiny Child recieves a award! They still remain strong even though the group has part ways. I remember when the group first came out, they were all like 16-17 years old. They hit the music scene hard and made a almost instant impact. They had their ups and downs, when through trial and tribulations, and when they did break-up to go their separate ways, they went out on top. Everyone is doing their own solo thing right now and I wish them all the best. Kelly's past album "ms kelly" AMAZING! Much love to DC3!

Celine Dion postpones concerts



Singer Celine Dion has postponed a series of Australian concerts as part of her world tour due to a throat infection.


Dion is in Australia as part of her first world tour in 10 years, with concerts set for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

"Her doctor has instructed her to rest for an additional 48 hours in order to be fully recovered," her publicists said in a statement on Friday.

The infection forced Dion to postpone her Melbourne and Brisbane concerts earlier in the week, with two Sydney concerts also now postponed for a week.

Hopefully she feels better so she can finish up her tour, after all it's been 10 years since she's been on a world tour. Get well Celine!

Rapper T.I. expected to make guilty plea


Rapper T.I. was expected to plead guilty today (March 27) to federal weapons charges and will face prison time, according to two people familiar with his case.

The 27-year-old artist, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was expected to be sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service talking to youth groups around the country, followed by about 12 months in prison, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea deal had not been finalized yet Thursday morning.

Harris' prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, the two people familiar with the negotiations said. His talks to youth groups are supposed to be about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs.


The U.S. Attorney in Atlanta announced a change-of-plea hearing was scheduled for this afternoon at the federal courthouse. Prosecution officials were expected to speak to the media after the hearing. U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. must approve the deal.

Harris was arrested Oct. 13, 2007, just blocks away and hours before he was to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.

He was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.

Harris was allegedly trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. He initially pleaded not guilty, and has been under house arrest since he was released on $3 million bond Oct. 26.

Burned CDs: For how long will they last?





It seems as if everyone is burning CDs these days. No one is heading out to the store to buy the original printed CDs anymore, but do the burn CDs last? According to an article on PC world.com, burned CDs have a shorter lifespan. It may depend on the brand of the CD or the environment that you keep it in. I would think a CD left in the inside of your car sitting in a small compartment in the middle of the summer is more likely to not last as long as a CD that's placed in it's case or in a sleeve away from heat. I've had a few burned CDs that have been through everything and I mean EVERYTHING and they are perfectly find. Sooner or later everything gets worn out, even that ipod that you may revolve all of your music needs around. Technology has given us so many ways to enjoy music, so when one way fails there are plenty more options to explore!
