Janet Says: "I'm Not Ready to Be the New Sade?!"



Janet Says: "I'm Not Ready to Be the New Sade?!"

The executives at Def Jam, including Janet Jackson's boyfriend, Frog Face - Jermaine Dupri, obviously are biting their thumbs at the superstar, for airing out their marketing ideas.

Recently Janet Jackson revealed that Def Jam wanted the 42 year old singer to slow down and go "Smooth Operator" on us all. And although Janet's getting old, let's no forget it was her dance songs that got her where she's at. Although I would like a good ballad from you JJ. Anyways, below is what she revealed.

There were some people who didn’t like the direction I took with this album (Discipline). They wanted me to sound more like Sade, but I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.

 

New Music: Chris Brown "Nasty Girl"



New Music: Chris Brown "Nasty Girl"

'Nasty Girl' is a forbidden track (meaning intended for the opposite sex, or someone else), Chris Brown has been working on. He has been talking about working for Rihanna lately. This song has some reggae feel and would be so perfect for the Barbados native. What Chris needs to be doing is giving the gal some cash and helping her get signed to a good deal from SonyBMG; his label, because Def Jam played her. I can't wait to hear a girl on it...too bad Chris had to use the vocoder.

Rihanna: Rich Girl Gone Broke - Only 20,000 Dollars To Her Name!



Rihanna: Rich Girl Gone Broke - Only 20,000 Dollars To Her Name!

Rihanna's former business manager, Patricia Williams, who has represented some of the richest and biggest names and companies is "livid" at the Barbadian singer. Williams claims that she was fired and called all sorts of names because of the actions of Rihanna's own manager, Marc Jordan who is the owner of Rebel One Management. She reveals all to Page Six, in order to prevent any tarnish on her name. And it looks like Rihanna may have jumped the gun when she cussed out Williams. Thank God she has a super rich boyfriend, Chris Brown; although their relationship is why she has to wear hater blockers...LOL! Below is the article:

Rihanna’s now ex-business manager Patricia Willliams has been recently fired as she recalls “for no good reason, all in ignorance” and is “livid” with Rihanna & her management company Rebel One’s decision to axe her.

Rihanna recently met with Willliams to check on her accounting affairs and was shocked to see that almost all her money was missing. She instantly accused Willliams of “stealing her money.”

“I’m a professional Business Manager, I have a staff of more than a dozen, I have worked for many high profile actors, musicians and multi-million dollar corporations. Why would I steal from Rihanna?” She continues, “I showed her all the paperwork and tried to explain to her the circumstances but she wouldn’t listen. She called me all sorts of horrible names and stormed off. I now feel compelled to share with the world the background story as I will not allow my name to be slandered”
