Teairra Mari Signs With Rico Love's Division1

On the set of their "That's All Me" video, Teairra Mari & Rico Love announced that she has signed with his Division1 label. The former Warner Bros. artist is now in association, as a quick Google search will suggest, with Universal Motown... which isn't aaas bad as its pre-Kelly Rowland days. I do however believe that this is an excellent move for Teairra--& me, as these two really do create magic together!

"Pretty Please (Love Me)" collaborators Estelle & Cee Lo Green visited on the latter's talk show Talking To Strangers, while the former also performed her hit "American Boy" in addition to giving her first performance of "Break My Heart" off the upcoming album All Of Me.

Oh, & this is my 5,000th post! I decided to go full circle with it since my very first post was Xtina-related as well. :)

Missy Elliott Collaborates With Katy Perry

Missy Elliott is gonna help Katy Perry's Teenage Dream join Michael Jackson's Bad as the only albums to ever notch five #1 singles by assisting on the remix to Katy's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", which currently sits at #2. TBH, I already loved this cheesy song (& her other chart-toppers off that album sans "Firework"), so the addition of Missy is just the cherry (if I liked those lol) on top!
