Rhythmix vs. Rhythmix

Rhythmix the only girlband in this years X Factor top 12 are stuck in a bit of a bother regarding their band name. A charity with the same name has contacted Simon Cowell founder of SYCO Entertainment has been acused of using the name being fully aware that it was a licenced/registered name for the childrens charity. A Facebook page was even set up in protest against the X Factor winner holding this years Christmas number one spot.

Rhythmix will now have to change their name. A spokesman for The X Factor has said:

"At the request of the charity Rhythmix, the members of the girl group Rhythmix have decided to change their name, a decision which has the support of Syco and TalkbackThames. The group's new name will be announced in due course."

Really Rhytmix - even though thrown together by the judges (because they're desperate for a group to win this year) should have researched their name. Then again, it might have been given too them so they're not entirely at fault. Mr Cowell should have known better. What do you think they should call themselves now..?

Throwback Thursday: Fabolous

Today's Throwback Thursday has to be one of my favourite R&B collaborations of the noughties...

Drake Covers The Source's Power 30 Issue

The third visual from Beyonce's album 4 is here in remix form. The track 'Party' features Kanye West and Andre 3000 on the album - and is most likely the version you hear on the radio hourly.

However, Bey decides to Party with Dream villain, J.Cole - which is a good move for him. I love Jermaine to bits, but I prefer Andre's verse on the track - to be honest I'm much more used to hearing and rapping along to it.

THE VISUAL... definitely meets the brief - 'we love to party' and is a load of great fun. It also features cameo appearances from a few well known faces such as Bey's sister Solange Knowles, best mate Kelly Rowland and eye wear designers/fashionistas Coco & Breezy.

IS BEY 'DRIPPING SWAGU'..? Yes and no. I'm not feeling all her outfits - especially the green number she has one but some are looking really cool. One must say Jermaine is looking hella fly especially next to the Bugatti's, swagu all over that fo' sure !!

Check out the video below and enjoy...



I CAN'T DENY, I LOVE THIS JOINT!

Take Care In 22 Days


Drake fans would have been really excited today as his second studio album, Take Care was supposed to be dropping today. However the rapper's album has been put back a couple weeks and is now set to be released November 15th, which is almost a year to date when he revealed the name of the album. It is a disappointment but there are three sample clearances that need to be sorted out before the album is put up. Now we would want our Drizzy to be all tied up in legal stuff, would we..? Like he did when his 'Best I Ever Had' did.

Hopefully his special release plans still go ahead, because if the original date has been changed maybe his 'birthday edition' idea is now void (I HOPE NOT).  He told Entertainment Weekly in a interview during the summer:

Obviously, I can only fit so many songs on a CD. So what I’m doing is there will be a Take Care physical edition in stores that’ll hopefully have 15 to 17 songs on it. Then I know a lot of people do deluxe editions. But since October 24 is a special day for me, I got, like, a Take Care birthday edition that I’m going to put on iTunes that will have extra songs. I really want to encourage people to be excited about the album releasing. I remember how excited a lot of artists used to make me. I used to want to buy the physical copy to see the artwork. And if there were any bonus tracks, I’d go find them. I’m definitely trying to cause some of that excitement. I hope people go get the songs off the birthday edition. It’s going to be great, man. I’ve got a wide array of music this time. I’m very excited.

SO...we've got a 22 day wait I guess.

Pharrell Williams: Frontin'


This weeks Throwback Thursday is a track that defines summer so well. Since autumn has officially kicked in I thought I'd revive that summery vibe to set you off on your weekend even though we've still got tomorrow to arrive !! Released in August 2003 in the UK and two months prior in the US this Pharrell William's written and produced joint says it all...

Kelly Rowland Gets Down


Kelly Rowland is currently shutting it down, putting it down and now she's getting down with her new visual for her single 'Down For Whatever'. Just last week the sexy superstar gave us the oh so sexual video for 'Lay It On Me' and the sexiness doesn't stop there in her new clip - again directed by Sarah Chatfield and choreographed by Frank Gatson. The visual isn't sexually charged like her previous tracks but it does show Kelly getting her groove on and striking a few sexy poses. Though the electro tinged track produced by RedOne produced may not be for everyone, it keeps Kelly relevant and shows how versatile she is...

'Dem Babies' To Finally Debut !!

It's been just almost 7 months since Mariah Carey brought her and hubby Nick Cannon twins, Monroe and Moroccan into the world, and we're still yet to see their faces. Since the twins birth on April 30th we've only seen a photograph of one of Monroe's hands !! Now ABC has provided Mariah's 'Lambs' (the name of her fan base) with a lovely family photo - still without the twins faces revealed.

Well this Friday 'Dem Babies' will make their debut on ABC's 20/20 in an interview with Barbara Walters this Friday at 10pm EST.

It will hopefully be hitting our entertainment news/music channels in the UK during the course of Saturday. Or some form of footage from the interview will be posted online.

Nicki Minaj Gets Her Weezy On !!

If you were to view the femcee's Twitter bio you would find that Nicki Minaj describes herself as a; Platinum selling recording artist, writer and actress. Now all that we've heard and seen via her music videos. Also any fan would know that she is a really animated character, not just her funny faces but her very different personalities, now there is a new addition to the family...
