Nelly Furtado, who's been recording her new album in Toronto, Los Angeles, Miami and London, has finally decided on a title for the project. She's going to call her third album Loose, she posted online. "It's getting closer to being finished every single day," she wrote. "Let's just say it's a whole lot of fun. It's a whole other side of me."  She is the one to look for having worked as you know with Missy, and Nelly. 


Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson has been cleared of all charges in a court of Law.  So what is next. Jackson was acquitted three weeks ago of child molestation charges in California and his time in Bahrain marks the first time he's traveled overseas since the trial.  Jackson got the invite to hang in Bahrain from Sheik Abdulla, a friend of Jackson's brother, Jermaine.  The royal family has promised to give Jackson the seclusion he craves.


Still the public eye is on poor Jessica and Nicks marriage as they go into another season of their show.  The problems Jessica is having with the Church group over re-shooting her video still hangs over her head.  Don't give in Jess, tell them to kiss your butt.  The Bru ha ha comes from her Daisy Duke song, these boots were made for walking.  The tame video was nicely done, the people having trouble with this video are needing sex, or have too much time on their hands.  They want this woman, WOMAN mind you, Married at that to tone down her act.  She cant be a some type of hooker but they want her to be Mickey Mouse all her life but this is a grown woman, who is a ministers daughter, who even the Minister Father said was not provocative.  They need a life in the purest part of the word.  I have Kids, Nieces and the like, and they like it, I watch it with them and say it is cute.  Jessica is now looking to adopt a baby.  She went past a Mexican orphanage when she was 16, and always wanted to adopt a Mexican baby. She wants to change a child's life from there.


Luther Vandross, past away on Friday, July the first.  His viewing was tonight, tomorrow and will be laid to rest on Friday morning.  Luther was fading away, very slowly, until his passing.  He will be missed very much by all the people in the music business.  He was larger than life and his last album dance with my father was that capping of a great career, he will be missed.  Luther passed two years after suffering a debilitating stroke.


The Fantastic Four, the premier was last night.  Jessica Alba was late to the premiere.  The fantastic four, is one of the longest running comic books.  Fans can not wait to see it, I can say after being at the premiere.  It was hot.  Tony time from WB 11 got first dibs.  When he came to interviewing Jessica, and Jessica was gorgeous, even know that she was late.
