Yesterday, news broke about Chris Brown trying to get the restraining order from Rihanna dropped. He insists he does not want another relationship with her. Instead, Brown is only trying to move forward with his career and his life.

Ever since the story broke, there have been all kinds of rumors about why Brown has decided to fight to end the order. With the Grammys coming up, many people assumed Chris Brown is trying to avoid being arrested again. It would be a shame for his career to fall apart right after he just put it back together.

With the stories flooding the internet, Chris Brown has come out to set the record straight. He said he is not trying to get back with Rihanna and he is not trying to avoid being arrested on Grammy night. Instead, he is saying the date was planned months ago. The restraining was not put up by Rihanna, so it does have an end date.

After taking some time off, T-Pain is more than ready to release his comeback album. T-Pain took over the game after releasing two popular albums in 2007 and 2008. Initially, he planned to release another album in 2009. But, T-Pain lost all of his buzz when Jay-Z released "Death of Auto-tune."

T-Pain experienced minor success in 2010 with his chorus on the popular DJ Khaled hit, "All I Do is Win." The song was one of the anthems of the summer of 2010. Following the popularity of the single, T-Pain decided to begin working on his next album. He felt it would be best to release the album in 2011.

Currently, T-Pain is waiting on Drake so he can finally release his album. T-Pain said Revolver is complete and he is ready to begin promoting. While T-Pain has been gone from the game, Drake has taken the industry by storm and everyone wants to work with him. On his debut album, Drake discussed his newfound popularity with the veterans.

Over the past few months, Drake has also worked with Jamie Foxx, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and many other big names. Most recently, T-Pain has called upon Drake and of course he agreed to work with him. But, due to his busy schedule, Drake has not been able to get back up with T-Pain. The only thing standing in the way between the release of T-Pain's new music is Drake giving him his verse for the song. T-Pain has asked the rapper to hurry up so he can release his new album.

Last year, Diddy turned heads when he announced the present he got for his son, Justin. As he was celebrating his sixteenth birthday, Diddy purchased a 2010 Maybach for his son and it was met with much controversy. Diddy said he can purchase what he pleases for his children.

The media attempted to villainize Diddy for buying such an expensive gift for such a young man. But, Diddy defended himself by saying if he can afford it, he can buy it. Despite his arguments, Diddy could not avoid the talk about what he bought his son.

Diddy had scheduled interviews with ABC's "The View" and "20/20." The interview with "The View" was supposed to be about Diddy's personal life. While Diddy had planned to discuss his six children by three different mothers, the ladies were more concerned about the Maybach. Diddy's interview documentary with "20/20" was supposed to be about his business life, but it was also about the Maybach.

With the discussion about the first Maybach barely over, Diddy has purchased another Maybach for his son as he is celebrating turning seventeen. Diddy is proud of his firstborn son, as he has been getting good grades and living a very humble life after, despite all he has. Justin's reward for being the model son for Diddy is another Maybach that Diddy hopes he will use in his school and social life. More than anything, he wants his son to take after him and use the car to pick up girls.

Handler, herself, has been in the news regarding 50 Cent and she is also denying ever having a relationship with him.

Through all of this, 50 Cent and Ciara remained friends, but their Twitter beef has ended that. 50 Cent recently began referring to the people in his life as a "bitch."

Tired of 50 Cent's jokes, Ciara went to YouTube and posted Queen Latifah's "U.N.I.T.Y." song on her page and left it for 50. She asked all of her followers to re-tweet it. Then, Ciara began her own responses to her former rumored boyfriend.

By Mr. Hollywood

In 2007, T-Pain released his second album and became a fixture in the game. His run continued when he released his third album in 2008 and inspired the rap game. Due to his success with the auto-tune, many rappers began using it, most notably Lil Wayne and Kanye West.

Jay-Z, who was recording while T-Pain was dominating, was watching the change take place. While he was a fan of T-Pain, Jay-Z felt rappers had taken auto-tune too far. He returned in 2009 with "D.O.A." and ruined T-Pain's career. After admitting this, T-Pain dissed Jay-Z in Las Vegas.

Their issue was quickly resolved and Jay-Z was voted 'Rap Artist of the Year' for 2009. Meanwhile, T-Pain was quickly becoming a memory. Last year, he had a little success with his part in DJ Khaled's hit, "All I Do is Win." The song was a major hit during the summer of 2010, but it did little to boost his solo career.

T-Pain is determined to regain his crown in 2011 and he is working on new music. Having been away for three years, he knows he has to come outside of the box. The first move from T-Pain was not even musical, instead it was a tattoo.

Jay-Z and Will Smith partner for Movie Venture

By The Film Critic
JR Staff Writer

The connection between Jay-Z and Will Smith goes back further than most people know. In 1998, Jay-Z penned Will Smith's smash hit, "Gettin Jiggy Wit It." It would be one of Smith's last rap hits and was written before Jay-Z's career took off.

Ever since his departure from Def Jam, Jay-Z has been inching closer and closer to Hollywood. From the beginning, Jay-Z had plans of being a corporate giant, as opposed to being a rapper. He continued to pump out music until he made it.

Last year, Jay-Z made waves when he signed Willow Smith, the daughter of Will Smith, to his Roc Nation label. Not long after the signing, her single, "Whip My Hair," became a hit. Once the song became a hit, Jay-Z realized he had a true star on his hands and he started talking business with Will Smith, who was already grooming his daughter into a star.

Will Smith arranged for Willow Smith to star in an upcoming remake of Annie. Jay-Z owes much of his success to Annie, as his breakthrough hit, "Hard Knock Life," sampled heavily from the movie. He wasted no time offering a partnership to Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment for a new film venture to produce major films over the next few years. It appears as though Jay-Z and Will Smith will be in business together for many years to come, as they own stakes in many of the same companies, other than the new venture.

Outside of rap, Kanye West has been trying to brand himself as a businessman. In 2008, he launched KW Foods, LLC and partnered with Fatburger. The venture brought the first Fatburger restaurants to the city of Chicago.

When the locations sprang up around the city, they were met with positive responses. But, the restuarants have lost luster going into its third year. Despite his wealth, Kanye West cannot afford to be losing money at a consistent rate.

The traffic at the Fatburger in the Bevery neighborhood has dwindled terribly. Kanye West has been trying to find ways to get people to come by. Even with a celebrity owner, KW Foods has struggled to get patrons.

Forced with no other option, Kanye West has decided to close the Fatburger location, after barely two years in operation. While the Fatburger was closed, the company said they do hope to return to the location when they feel as though they can afford to.

Ciara dumps 50 Cent for Amare Stoudemire?

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

In 2007, Ciara featured 50 Cent in her video, "Can't Leave Em Alone," as her love interest and rumors started. 50 Cent, who loves all kinds of publicity, allowed the rumors to continue. 50 Cent and Ciara were touted as one of hip hop's cutest couples. Ciara refused to comment on the relationship.

Their rumored relationship took a turn for the worst when 50 Cent began feuding with Lil Wayne. The Cash Money crew had invited Ciara to record with them. It was said that 50 Cent forbade her to record with them because of his beef. Feeling pressured, Ciara supposedly left 50 Cent.

50 Cent has been romantically linked to Chelsea Handler since the fall of 2009. The television personality said 50 Cent tried to start a relationship with her, but she told him she was already involved. She said her turning him down led to his statement that he would never have a girlfriend. Chelsea Handler went on to say that she was currently single and open to dating 50 Cent.

For most of 2010, the two have been a rumored couple, while Ciara was linked to Ludacris. Chelsea Hanlder said she would not date 50 Cent because she could not handle his lifestyle. Recently, sources close to Ciara have opened up about her love life. Last year, Ciara said she and 50 Cent were never a couple, but instead he was her best friend. But, sources close to her say she was thinking about taking things further with 50, but backed off due to the Chelsea Handler rumors.

Ciara has reportedly moved on and she is now seeing New York Knicks' star, Amare Stoudemire. For the past few months, he has been rumored to be dating Amber Rose. Rose is involved with Wiz Khalifa, but Stoudemire did admit to having feelings for her. Apparently, they are not as big as the feelings he has for Ciara, as the two are dating, but trying to keep the media out of their business. It was said that Ciara has cut off all contact with 50 Cent because of Chelsea Handler.

By The Music Scoop
JR Staff Writer

For the past few months, Kim Kardashian has been making waves with promises of a debut R&B album. She even has a new reality show, "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," to highlight her new music venture. Most importantly, many fans think she has used her new music as a front to spend time with Kanye West.

Last fall, Kim Kardashian received a lot of flack for moving into the music business. She has many detractors who feel she should not be a celebrity at all. Her father was a famous lawyer and she was nothing more than Ray J's girlfriend. At the time, Ray J was not a major star, but she became one.

Ciara stepped up to her defense after hearing all of the negative press surrounding her. There was a time when people assumed the two did not get along. In 2007, Kardashian's ex, Reggie Bush, starred in Ciara's "Like a Boy" video as her love interest. Despite their claims, many thought they had beef and they were proved wrong when Ciara offered to help her with the album.

Recently, Kim Kardashian began promoting the album's lead single. The music video starred her rumored boyfriend, Kanye West, as her love interest. In spite of all of the promotion, Kim Kardashian revealed she is not releasing a new album. Instead, she is only doing one song and it is in promotion for her new E! series, based on her move to New York to open a new show. Many assumed the show would focus more on her new music career, but Kim Kardashian has informed them they are wrong.

By The Film Critic
JR Staff Writer

Despite being a successful actor, Drake always had dreams of becoming a big-time rapper. The moves Drake made are opposite of what most aspiring rapper make. Most rappers begin making music and branch out into acting. Drake began his career acting and moved into rapping.

Keyshia Cole fires manager over Low Record Sales

By The Music Scoop
JR Staff Writer

Years of hardwork paid off for Keyshia Cole when her career took off in 2005. She went from being unknown to being one of the top new female voices in R&B. At a time when such artists as Ashanti were struggling for hits, Keyshia Cole filled the void.

By 2008, many were calling Keyshia Cole the second coming of Mary J. Blige. While Cole denied those comparions, she was definitely the hottest female in the game. She had everything she could ever want, including a man.

Keyshia Cole was dating Daniel Gibson, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who happeend to be the NBA's best team. Soon, she became pregnant with Gibson's child. It was then that Cole decided to take some time off.

Last March, Keyshia Cole had her child and focused on building her new family. Towards the end of 2010, she decided to re-enter the game. Keyshia Cole teamed up with Nicki Minaj for the anthem, "I Ain't Thru." In only a matter of months, Nicki Minaj had become the hottest rapper in the game. She had already helped many big-name artists make hit records and Cole thought she could do the same for her.

Instead of getting a hit, Keyshia Cole found herself in the middle of Lil' Kim's feud with Nicki. Kim, her guest on 2007's "Let It Go," was prepared to diss Keyshia Cole for her involvement with Minaj. Despite all the press, the single did not even chart. The label had advised Keyshia Cole to go with a different lead single, but she demanded "I Ain't Thru" be the lead single.

Her fourth album, Calling all Hearts, was a complete flop. In her career, Keyshia Cole had never scored lower than platinum on any of her albums. She will be lucky if her latest release even sells 500,000 copies within a year. With her career seemingly falling apart, Cole has fired her longtime manager, Manny Halley, stating he was unwilling to change his approach to marketing her.

Terrell Owens, himself, began a new career on VH1. His series, "The T.O. Show," has made him into a new kind of star. The show gave people an inside look to Terrell Owens. For years, the media had portrayed him as a jerk. While he does have a big ego, he also has a big heart.

White later appeared during the second season of "The T.O. Show" and Kita Williams suggested she give Terrell another shot, but she said they were over for good.

Will Smith remaking "Annie" for Willow Smith

By The Film Critic
JR Staff Writer

Last month, Will Smith caused controversy when he revealed his daughter, Willow Smith, was listed as his employee instead of his daughter. But, in the world of business, he had to file this way in order to maximize profits. Despite what she is listed as Willow Smith is daddy's little girl and he will do anything for her.

In a matter of months, Willow Smith has become one of the biggest pop stars in the game. Last fall, she debuted her hit, "Whip My Hair," and it became a big hit for Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. In an effort to avoid her becoming a one hit wonder, Jay-Z and the Smiths have been working hard to land her more exposure.

Currently, Willow Smith is finishing up her debut album. The album will include her hit, "Whip My Hair." She is also remaking Will Smith's hit, "Parents Just Don't Understand" for the album. Willow Smith promises to have other hits to make up the rest of the album. But, because of who her parents are, Willow has a very big legacy to live up to and the pressure is there regardless. The young Smith says it does not bother her.

In an effort to keep her exposed, Will Smith is working on landing the rights to Annie. Last year, he gained the rights to The Karate Kid and cast Jaden Smith to play as the star. If he lands the rights to Annie, his daughter, Willow Smith, will play the role of 'Annie.' With her album coming out later this year and more singles prepared to be released, a starring role in a major film would do wonders for Willow Smith. The critics have been trying to put pressure on the young star to live up to the hype.

Amber Rose has been running wild since her breakup with Kanye West. Rose has been spotted with all kinds of men. There have been rumors of her dating Wiz Khalifa. She took some photos with NBA star, Amare Stoudemire, during the same week. After spending time with Fabolous, he cannot stop tweeting about her body.

While Amber Rose's involvement with different men has caused a bit of uproar, it is nothing compared to her latest action. From the beginning, Rose admitted she was bisexual. It just happened that she was attracted to Kanye West. For a short time, she was rumored to be having a relationship with Nicki Minaj.

There is a difference in talking about being a lesbian and actually being a lesbian. Amber Rose shared a steamy kiss with Rosa Acosta last week and it has had gossip sites going. Mostly negative feedback has come from her kiss with the video vixen. Tired of hearing all of it, Amber Rose told the gossip sites to mind their own business. Rose is making it clear she does what she wants to do.

One thing Amber Rose apparently did was take Natalie Nunn's man. Only days after Wiz Khalifa confirmed he was dating Nunn, a story broke that he was now with Amber Rose. Nunn went on Twitter and called Rose out, inviting her to her sloppy seconds. Amber Rose also took the time to respond to Natalie Nunn, saying she will not let ignorance ruin her positive vibes. She said all she needs is her baby, Cam (Wiz Khalifa) and she could care less what the other people think.

JR Staff Writer

Last night, BET scored more high ratings behind the efforts of "The Game." After being away for nearly two years, fans are eager for new episodes. The episode picked up from Tia Mowry's Melanie telling Pooch Hall's 'Derwin' about his son.

In the second episode, fans saw Brittany Daniel's character 'Kelly' make up with Wendy Rachel Robinson's character 'Tasha.' The high point of the show was supposed to be 'Melanie's' confession to 'Derwin,' but Coby Bell stole the show.

Last summer, Bell was likely not to be on "The Game" when it returned because of a role he had taken with "Burn Notice." But, when the filming began, his schedule was actually clear, so he returned to play 'Jason Pitts' again. Already playing an aging superstar, when the show picked up two years later, Bell's Jason was basically retired and hosting a TV show. On the last episode, viewers saw 'Jason' not be signed to a new contract and him officially retire. Things only became worse for 'Jason' when he introduced "The Pittsy Shuffle" to his fans during his party.

While the "Dip n Pitts," as it is being fondly called by fans, was a miss on the actual show, it has become a hit with viewers across the world.

I released my first complete underground CD "pen, paper & lyrics" in 2007 people can view it at www.shavajay.bandcamp.com this was the first complete project. This project was a collection of emotions that a 20 year old girl was experiencing

What was your first time on stage like?
The first time i performed I was in Undergrad at Wilberforce University in the gospel choir i had a solo I was always singing and recording but I had never done a show but while in undergrad i began taking advantage of every opportunity.

What kind of obstacles have you gone through to get where you are at?
I have an educational background, I've been in school since the age of three. I just got my Masters. Trying to balance school and the fact that I wanted to do music became an obstical. I would be writing songs and writing papers, having performances and presentations. School wasn't the obstical it was trying to balance the two.

If you had to offer advice to a young person about following in your footsteps, what would you tell them?
Always believe in yourself, Growing up I was always taught to have faith. But i didn't fully understand it until I was much older. When I realized that my thoughts became actions things became much easier for me. Study your craft and not just the art itself but also educate yourself on business. Seperate your self from the average person doing what you are doing. Don't get in your own way have fun enjoy it!! BELIEVE BELIEVE BELIEVE!!

How do you feel being a part of a rather crowded movement trying to break into the game?
I feel good about it, I mean everyday people are looking for something new. Someone to come up with something that makes them feel good! I don't view it as being croweded i think people just want to share.. It's enough people in the world for somebody to feel what your doing. I know it sounds cliche but if only one person feels me or I make one person say "damn that song touched me" I kno I've done something

In a game dominated by the Keyshia Cole's and Jazmine Sullivans, how do you plan to make yourself stand out?
For started nobody has a story like mine and I plan to tell that story to draw people in. I have a different sound and a soft but soulful voice. I have to keep working, keep writing And keep doing features. I'm already different than thoes artist I just have get in the game and show the world!

Are you currently signed to a label?
I'm not signed to a major label.

Do you currently have a new project out or have one coming soon?

Ron Allen from Toronto. So many I love to network!

Are you working with any big names?
Not working with any big names, only the big producers! I have a pretty good team of people! I'd like to work with Jazmine Sulivan! Our birthday is on the same day I bet our energy would be mad crazy in the studio!

Do you feel as if you need big names to help you break in the game?
Working with a big name could open up a few doors and pretty soon I'll be writing for some big names, but until then I think I can make what I got going on will bring the big names to me.

What do you think fans like about you the most?
LOL I think my fans love the fact that I am extreamly personable. My personality is dope and I have character. My music is real a lot of people can relate to it young and old. I can be a bit random but then again most artist are but fans love that. My fans appreciate the fact that I'm not afraid to speak about the real in my music.
