While I Was Away...

• Watch Making The Video: Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body" (Pt. 1 // Pt. 2)
• Estelle Tops UK Singles Chart With "American Boy" (Who knew she was so big? How exciting.)
• Kelly Rowland Performs "Daylight/Dilemma" Medley (At least she is performing it somewhere, so that's good to see. I wish I had been there though ... I would have been screaming out those lyrics!)
• Michelle Williams Album Update (Her third album, & first mainstream CD, Unexpected is due in August. "We Break The Dawn" is to be the first single & will be out in April. The popular "Stop This Car" will be released as the second single. Stargate and SoulShock & Karlin, among others, are producers on the project. Check out the tracklisting by clicking the link. I look forward to this album.)
• Estelle Performs "American Boy" (This song is really growing on me!)
• Idol Review: Top 11 (David Archuleta was my favorite performance of the week, but Syesha was amazing as well. Carly was great ... basically everyone else was either alright or bad, keeping everyone right where they were last week in my eyes. Amanda leaving, though, was a shocker for me. Click the link to watch this week's Ford music video.)
• Watch Mariah Carey's New Macy's Commercials HERE & HERE
• Jennifer Lopez "People" Magazine Cover (What a beautiful cover! I'm so happy for Jennifer. Her babies are adorable.)
• Mariah Carey "E=MC²" Tracklisting (A lot of hot producers & more songs than initially expected, so all-around good news here. Danja on "Migrate" makes me even more pumped to hear the song!)
• Rick Ross, Usher Top Billboard 200, Hot 100, Respectively [See Below]
• Mariah To Appear On Letterman, GMA, Regis & Kelly And Cover Essence
• New Christina Milian Promo Pic (She's looking great as always. I just wonder what it's for...)
• Teyana Taylor "Google Me" Video Premiere (A fun video for a new artist ... *sigh*)
• See Mariah Carey's "Parade" Magazine Covers HERE & HERE (She looks nice.)
• Christina Milian In New Movie, Single Due This Summer (She will appear in the new Matthew McConaughey film "The Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past," out next year. Also, Christina confirmed that she will drop a new single this summer to lead her next album, due later this year via Interscope/MySpace Records. I'm definitely interested in hearing what Christina has to offer us musically this time around.)
• Ashanti "The Way That I Love You" Behind-The-Scenes (Cool.)
• Chilli "Sister 2 Sister" Magazine Cover (Where is she anymore? I hope she releases that solo album soon.)
• Ciara Album Update (Her third album is due in August/early September & she is working with the likes of Danja, The Clutch, Polow Da Don, & T-Pain. I loved The Evolution & Ciara seems to be bringin' it hard this next time around!)
• Mya "Chicago" Promo Pic (Lookin' good ... now put out an album.)
