Brandy to star in Documentary detailing Music Comeback

By TV Insider
JR Staff Writer

In 2008, Brandy attempted to pull of a comeback. Her album, Human, came after the tragic car accident of 2006. On the album, Brandy attempted to put her personal problems in the past. While her goal was moving on, her attitude turned many fans away from her. Human remains her lowest-selling album to date.

Brandy has struggled for quite some time, while Ray J has been one of the more popular R&B singers in years past. In 2009, Ray J soon became one of the more popular television stars. Quickly, he became the biggest face on VH1, when "For The Love of Ray J" premiered. The show received major ratings and left people wanting more of him.

When Ray J decided it was time to end his quest for love, at least for the entire world to see, VH1 wanted to do another show with him. This led to the formation of "A Family Business." Through the show, people were able to see the remorseful side of Brandy. While she was back in the public eye, her show, nor did her appearance on "Dancing with the Stars," do much to boost her music career.

Recently, Brandy confronted this and decided it was time to move on. Brandy announced she will soon be starring in a documentary. The documentary will focus more on Brandy trying to re-gain her spot in music, instead of her other ventures.

JR Staff Writer

Despite becoming the most intimate man in R&B, Trey Songz has yet to fall victim of nude photos or a sextape. But, other artists, of both genders, around him have not been as successful. Most artists feel having something like that happen to them is embarrassing. Usually, the media picks each move apart and over-hypes the situation.

When things like this happen, other celebrities are often asked how they feel about the situation. Trey Songz has done a wonderful job of staying out of situations like this. The Virginia singer gave his honest opinion on the sextape outbreak, saying he has no right to judge. It is simply one part of becoming famous.

Ray J famously saw his sextape leak in 2006. The leak helped put his name back out there. But, primarily, the tape helped to launch the career of Kim Kardashian. In the time since then, she has become the biggest reality television star in recent years. Chris Brown, a fellow Virginia native, recently saw a nude photo of him leaked to the internet.

While none of this has happened to Trey Songz, he says he knows how to handle the situation. If a sextape or nude photos of him leaked to the public, Trey said he would have no choice but to promote it. He would treat the leak as if it were one of his albums. Many felt Trey Songz poked fun at Chris Brown over his nude photo leak. Despite the two being on good terms, the media has been trying to create a feud between the two artists.

Kim Kardashian discusses Ray J, Reggie Bush, and the Sextape

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

In the fall of 2006, Kim Kardashian went from being the girlfriend of Ray J to becoming a major celebrity. Within a matter of months, she found herself with a reality show. Fast forward four years and some months later, she is recording her own album and spending time with Kanye West.

Even Kim Kardashian would agree she owes much of this success to the leaked sextape with Ray J. During her time with the singer, the two filmed a sextape. Ray J and Kardashian had been together for over a year. But, the two broke up over the summer in 2006.

Following their breakup, the sextape leaked to the public. It was not long before Kim Kardashian was the hottest topic on both the internet and television. The sextape leak was the topic of an episode of her reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Most of the blame was placed on Ray J during the episode.

When talking about the sextape leak, Kim Kardashian said it was the roughest time in her life. She had just started dating New Orleans Saints running back, Reggie Bush, getting over Ray J. Honestly, she felt as if her relationship with Bush was over after the tape came out. Surprisingly, he stayed with her and helped her through the negative publicity. While the two are no longer dating, Kim Kardashian thanked him for being there for her during her time of need.

Initially, many assumed Ray J was behind the sextape leaking. At the time, Ray J had not released a new album in a year and needed some sort of cash flow. Kim Kardashian's body, alone, helped the sextape sell copies. But, after looking at what the tape did for her career as opposed to Ray J's career, speculation began that Kardashian and her family were behind the sextape leak. As it currently stands, Kim Kardashian is a bigger star than Ray J and likely making more money.

Recently, Kim Kardashian hit back at those who assume she is behind the sextape leak. She stated it was the lowest point in her life when her younger siblings learned of what she had did. Kim had to face family and friends, who all knew about the sextape. Despite the profits it made and what it did for her career, much embarrassment came with the sextape being revealed to the public. Because of all of that, Kim Kardashian did not want the sextape to be released and had no part of its release.

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.

Before 2006, not too many people had heard of Kim Kardashian, but plenty of people had heard of Ray J. Four years later, Kardashian is the biggest reality show star around and Ray J is an afterthought. When Ray J is interviewed, he is frequently asked about the Kardashian sextape.

Drake afraid to diss Ray J?

The feud going on between Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj has spread outside of the hip hop community. The feud has spread outside of those two rappers. This feud is currently headline news on regular news sites and others are involved. However, one participant never mentioned is Ray J, who actually said Nicki Minaj should pay homage to Lil' Kim.

Ray J quickly sided with Lil' Kim when she made it known she had issues with Nicki Minaj. He said Nicki needs to go ahead and let the people know where she came from. Upon discovering Ray's comments, Lil' Kim agreed and repeated what was said. Drake quickly stepped up to defend his label-mate. He said Lil' Kim really needs to calm down.

Drake said he used to have a lot of respect for Lil' Kim, but it had changed because of her actions. Because of how she was acting, he said she did not deserve the homage. Like Drake, Lil' Kim also had a lot of respect for Drake. But, after he called her out the way he did, Lil' Kim referred to him as a punk. The comments came from Ray J.

Lil' Kim feels the only reason the non-confrontational Drake decided to diss her was because she was a woman. She said it looks bad on any man who engages in a public feud with a woman. If he had a real issue with her, a man would speak with a woman in private. But, Lil' Kim said he should not be upset with her over the comments about paying homage. Instead, he should be channeling this energy over to Ray J. By the way things are looking, Drake is not going to respond to Ray J.

Some assumed Drake would address Ray J once he discovered he was the one who actually made the statement about paying homage. However, Drake said the issue has nothing to do with Ray J. Drake said he cannot be upset for the man voicing his opinion on the feud. But, Lil' Kim argues she was only voicing her opinion, too. Somewhere, Drake sees a difference and it has kept Ray J from being brought into the feud. In the past, Ray J has been known to stand up for himself in the middle of feuds.

Perhaps Drake is looking to avoid the same fate as Marques Houston, Omarion, and Flo Rida.

Ray J wants Usher's spot

Recently, Usher has been on a tear. His album, Raymond v. Raymond has put him right back on top of the male R&B game. Ever since he first came into the game, Usher has been right around the top. While Usher has had a career filled with accomplishments, Ray J has been a backburner artist. At times, Ray J has charted memorable hits, but he has never had the spot.

Ray J has become popular for his appearances on various reality television shows. A lot of his fans did not realize he was actually a singer by nature. His role on "Moesha" in the late 1990s is what he is known for more so than his songs. Over the years, Ray J has been credited for his ability to both rap and sing. His 2001 album featured Ray J showing this off.

Despite being a decent rapper and a relatively popular singer, Ray J has yet to sell out the stores. More importantly, he has yet to create a memorable album. For the past few months, Ray J has been working hard to change all of this. He has gotten in contact with Rodney Jerkins, the man who helped Michael Jackson make a comeback. Jerkins has promised to deliver a classic album to Ray J. The only thing missing in his career is a classic album.

With the right producer behind him, Ray J knows he could easily rise to the same level and acclaim as such artists as Ne-Yo and Usher. After his music is released, later this year, Ray J is confident he will be sitting on top of the R&B game. Ray J is not looking to completely erase Usher, but he at least wants him to move over and make room for him at the top. There has never been in doubt in Ray J's mind that he was just as good, if not better, than the leading men in R&B. For the first time, he wants to prove this.

Ray J was not responsible for leak of Kim Kardashian sextape

The reason Ray J and Kim Kardashian are viewed as sex symbols in pop culture is because of their past relationship. From early 2005 and into late 2006, the two dated. During the summer of 2006, the couple decided to film themselves while being intimate. However, the tape was leaked and many blamed Ray J for the leak. But, overnight, Kim and her entire family became stars.

Kim Kardashian would soon blame Ray J for the tape getting out, but she landed herself a reality show. Premiering late in 2007, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" has become one of the biggest shows on television. Meanwhile, Ray J has used the publicity to build his own successful franchise with VH1. On his first show, Ray J exploited his image as a playboy. But, with the new show, he is trying to tone things down.

Even people who are fans of Ray J believe he was behind the sex tape being leaked to the public. Recently, however, Ray J revealed it was not him who leaked the tape and he had proof because he said he never had his hands on a copy. It is clear Kim Kardashian did not have the tape, either, so it must have been some of the people close to the former couple. Despite the two being broken up, Ray J often says he has nothing but love for Kim and he admitted to being a big fan of Reggie Bush.

More than anything else, C-Dove wants to be a part of the family business.

Many websites refer to C-Dove as the brother of Ray J and Brandy and now he has the proof to back it up. Aside from hanging out with Ray J, C-Dove featured his children in a video and they referred to Willie Norwood as their grandfather.
