I'm liking it alot, but I kinda like the solo version better. *Be sure to check back here tomorrow, as the videos for this track and another (rumoured to be Upgrade U) are expected to drop then.*

Anyway..check it out:

What's up with all these stars repeatedly running in with the law? Busta, Foxy and now Bobby Brown (again). Brown was arrested yesterday for non-payment of child support fines and failing to show up in court. More embarrasingly, he was arrested outside his daughters' (not Bobbi Kristina) cheerleading competion. Brown, 40, was said to be co-operative and is expected to post bail shortly.

Jennifer Hudson has been named Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. I'm really really happy for this chick as it is well deserved. Hopefully this will be the springboard for greater success in the future.

Bobby Brown says that he is still "friends" with his soon-to-be ex-wife Whitney Houston.

The 'I Will Always Love You ' singer filed for divorce from Brown in October last year- after 14 years of marriage; however Brown insists that the pair are maintaining a civilised relationship for the sake of their 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

He told People Magazine: "We're trying to work everything out so the divorce goes right – not like a Hollywood divorce. We're friends, you know. We're friends.

"We have been close because of who we are together, and what that child (Bobbi Kristina) means to us. She's the greatest thing in both of our lives. We just appreciate each other now that we know the direction that we both want to go."

Busta Rhymes must want to go to jail. Having already been to court this week on two other charges, he has been arrested again. The rapper was taken in and charged with driving with a suspended license in the early hours of Thursday morning. Rhymes, real name Trevor Smith, faces up to 15 days in jail if he is convicted.

Oscar favourite, Dreamgirls, has grossed over $100 million (in the US alone) since its release in December last year, according to Boxofficemojo.com .This is a major achievement for the film and for black cinema overall; it's the only 'black' film to have crossed the $100 Million barrier - The Colour Purple coming closest at $98 Million.

Rapper Busta Rhymes has rejected a plea-deal from Prosecutors in his assault case yesterday, 20th February. The deal would have meant that Rhymes, 34, would spend only 6 months in jail for two assault charges. The first charge is for Rhymes attacking his former driver, Eddie Hatchett, during an argument over back-pay. He is also charged for assaulting a fan who allegedly spat on his car in August. He is, however, considering a judge's plea-bargain that would allow him to plea guilty to a lesser assault charge and remain free.

In other news, the Florida beauty shop owner who was allegedly assaulted by Foxy Brown, resulting in her arrest last week, has told the New York Post "I hired a lawyer. I hope to pay off my mortgage with whatever I get"- referring to a lawsuit he is about to launch against the rapper. IMO he deserves nothing if all he wants is money instead of justice. Plus, I don't think Foxy has any money left!

This track is a Darkchild produced left-over from the B'Day album. It's a good song. The lyrics are a kinda wtf though. Not album material but still a decent track.

Spotted this one over at YBF:

PaPa Knowles strikes again. YBF chick LeToya Luckett was tapped to be on the Daddy's Little Girls soundtrack along with several other artists--including Beyonce. But word has it that the reason Toya got dropped from the soundtrack was because Papa Knowles demanded she get dropped or else Beyonce's track would be pulled. Here we go again....

Source: YBF

Not too sure about this one. I know Papa Knowles is kinda shady but I think some of the stuff written about him is over-exaggerrated. Still though, I wouldn't put it past him...

Janet will be at Jennifer Hudson's pre-Oscar party held by Jamie Foxx this Wednesday, so I guess we can expect new pics soon.
