Feb.16.2008 // In The World of Music: [ Polow Da Don takes the blame for leaked Usher tracks ] [ New JoJo LP expected this Fall! ]

POLOW DA DON TAKES THE BLAME FOR RECENT MATERIAL LEAKED FROM USHER’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM » “It’s no secret,” the ‘Hotlanta’ producer told MTV, “I’m the culprit.” ‘Don admits to virtually leaking Usher’s new material from his forthcoming-comeback album saying, “I told [Usher], when I saw him, that I had to put my relationship [with Usher] on the line.” The reasoning behind the recent leakage was becos how virtually successful Usher’s ‘Yeah!’ was when leaked by affiliated producer Lil’ Jon back in 2003. ‘Don said that Usher wasn’t upset at all about the leaking of his material, and to be honest, in my opinion, I thought that was a smart move on both parties part. It wasn’t like ‘Don leaked the whole album, just a song, to see if it would be taken positively, or negatively, with Usher’s fans. Most producers traditionally leak artist’s material, maybe … a week or two, before it’s original release date. I think that’s absolutely genius and I applaud ‘Don for his honesty; he always was one of my favorite producers, he keeps it real!

Feb.15.2008 // Make Me A Supermodel Recap: Episode 6 - ‘Versatility Test’

This week on Bravo’s Make Me A Supermodel it turned out Katy was one of the three models, including Frankie and Ronnie, that was sent home; I guess she was too much of a ‘Girl Next Door’ for everyone. I fear Ronnie may be getting sent home soon for being too ‘All-American Boy’, like the judges say, landing him in the bottom three once again this week. Honestly, I’d rather Ronnie go home, he will get booked regardless if he stays or goes, plus I think the show is mocking him ridiculously. I’m really starting to like Frankie now, aside from him being from Miami, I find him genuinely nice with lots of personality, so I wouldn’t want him to go home either. Stephannie is blah to me. Anyway on this episode - episode 6 - ‘Versatility Test’ the models all had to try their fair share in versatility, with modeling and acting, see more pics after the cut as well as an extended clip of last night’s episode in case some of you may have missed it.

Nick Cannon was spotted doing a little grocery shopping at Ralph’s Supermarket in Hollywood earlier today. Well, technically, from the looks of this photo, it doesn’t look like he didn’t do anything but walk around and throw shit in the buggy. I’m mad he can’t even push his own cart. I want a minder!
