??MICHELLE NOT "URBAN" ENOUGH??

Michelle Williams and BET had a little fallen out yesterday. The entertainment channel "reportedly" opted not to play Michelle's new video, "We Break The Dawn" because it wasn't urban enough! The video has been getting heavy play on MTV and MTV2, and Michelle appeared on TRL yesterday to promote the single and her upcoming album, "Unexpected".

The singer also gave her opinion on the whole thing, via her MySpace.

A lot of you guys are wondering why it’s not on BET!!! Well how can I say this without starting any drama……..it may not be ‘urban’ enough!!! Whatever the hell that means!!! (this is the political foolishness we artists go through on a daily basis).

Then a little later, Michelle mended the situation and all with BET is forgiven.....I think anyway...LOL

Hey y’all I wanted to be clear to you guys about BET. They did not reject my video for not being urban. It was just given to the channel this week as my urban radio plan is starting to take effect. The political side that I was referring to was how things happen in stages not always at the time that artist want it, it is a process! My video actually aired on BET yesterday on BET Now which I hosted and I will be hosting another episode on Friday as well. BET is supporting me (I know you guys want to see my in rotation on the channel and I was trying to address the many questions) and you will see ‘Break the Dawn’ on the channel in the weeks to come so keep checking back for dates

...I don't understand that sh*t at all, BET played that Madonna and Justin Timberlake video very heavily.

KELLY ROWLAND TO WRITE CHILDREN BOOKS?

When selling albums, and riding off of Beyonce's shine fails, move on to writing a book. Kelly Rowland is in talks with publishing companies to write a slew of children's books. Kelly decided to write children's books off the fact that she has five god-kids. [SOURCE]

I'm getting into different ventures. I'm in the process of writing a children's book. Everything is confidential right now, but I'm really excited because I've talked to some different publishing companies and got some people interested. I love my god-kids, I love kids!

...Whatever. She can say what she wants. The reason why she's "really" writing a book is because Matthew and Bee are tired of supporting her ass! Kelly you ain't gots to lie.....

REALLY FEELING: "THE WAY I LOVE YOU" BY ASHANTI

I am really feeling this song. I have not always been a huge Ashanti fan, and reason being is because I felt she lacked talent. Don't get me wrong, she does have some hot songs that you can groove to. I just always felt that she passed in the music industry because of her looks, because she is cute.

The first time I heard "The Way I Love You", I immediayley cut off the radio not wanting to hear it. Then the video came out two weeks ago and I watched it and I thought it was okay. Then as days passed and the radio playing it over and over again, it begin to grow on me, so much that I downloaded it on my Ipod!

The lyrics are really good and she is stepping her vocal game up. You can tell she has been putting work in with a vocal coach.

Her new album, "The Declaration" is suppose to be released on June 10, 2008.
