- Jazmine Sullivan is hard at work on her sophomore album. She took to her Twitter to share some lyrics from a new song. “i could put my dress on, get my hair all done for you… and you still wouldn’t say I’m pretty…” Sounds like she’s reaching deep down on this one. We look forward to hearing the entire project next year. [Vibe]
- Timbaland says he’s done with hip-hop! He spoke with Vibe and says there are few in his generation who are left. But he also goes on to state who his core fan base is: women who watch “Desperate Housewives.” Shocker! He just sounds a little bitter… [Vibe]
- T.I. heads back to court today to learn his fate on a probation violation. He sat down with CNN’s Don Lemon to discuss if he would ever get in trouble again. T.I. said, “I’m tired, I’m wore out. I don’t have the age, the energy, or just the attitude to move forward and continuing in this cycle… in this ongoing process of destruction and disparity in my life. I’ve got too many depending on me and counting on me. I can’t do it.” [CNN]
- T.I. is also sharing some regrets as well, saying, “The only thing I can say, man, is that all people who have supported me, who were behind me, who believed in me, who were disappointed and were let down, I just offered your trust back and to make you proud yet again.” We hope things work out for him, we’ll keep an eye on the situation today.

- Word has it that Cee-Lo could have been an “American Idol” judge. Randy Jackson and Cee-Lo spoke about the idea. But in the end, Cee-Lo didn’t feel comfortable with it, saying, “I’m not a judge of people.” That could have been an interesting mix. [EURweb]
- Betty White may be the newest “Men In Black” agent. That’s right! She’s rumored to be joining the cast of “Men in Black III.” She’s pulling in paychecks from every which way this year. [Perez Hilton]
- Guess who’s headlining the upcoming “Divas: Salute the Troops” show? Keri Hilson and Nicki Minaj! The two are joining forces with Katy Perry, Sugarland and Paramore all in partnership with the USO. This should make for an interesting concert. Not sure if either really fit the “diva” description like Mariah, Aretha or Diana Ross, but we’ll be watching. [YBF]
