Early last year, Sade declined to work with Drake and said she shunned collaborations. But now, it seems the singer has had a change of heart. For her upcoming Ultimate Collection set, she teamed up with Jay-Z for the remix to her track, “Moon & The Sky”. The project is to be released May 3rd and can be pre-ordered here.

Singer Chris Brown's outburst earlier this week after his Good Morning America interview likely cost him his publicist, Tammy Brook. She reportedly left Brown in the dust shortly after the GMA meltdown. Honestly at this point, who would want to be Brown's publicist? Can't imagine that would be an easy gig.
According to the New York Post's "Page Six," Chris Brown's spokeswoman decided she "will no longer represent him." Though no official reason was given, one would assume it's because she has a volatile client with some serious anger management issues. The Post says Brook "couldn't be reached for comment" on the matter, likely because she was out somewhere, blowing off some steam of her own.
“Listen I don’t think Robin was wrong for asking [about Rihanna]… Interviewers have every right to ask about it… Your rage was uncalled for. Robin was right to ask you about Rihanna. You will get asked that question from now until the end of time… and you’d better figure out a politically and mature way of answering it! And P.S., why are your arms girly but everything else is manly?”
Ciara landed herself in a little bit of hot water (March 22) when a tweet she made on Twitter seemingly took a jab at pop princess Rihanna.
“Well, well, well……u dont say……:),” CiCi said in the tweet on her official Twitter account. That’s all she said but that was enough to set the gossip hounds’ shady senses on fire. Ciara’s nondescript, ill-timed update was quickly tied to a story involving Rihanna and her LOUD tour reportedly selling so poorly that it’s headed for a major scale down or total cancellation.
“Trust me Rhianna [sic] u dont want to see me on or off stage,” Ciara said after a jab from Rihanna. Rihanna responded with“U gangsta huh? Haaa…Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.”
After feeling a bit of fire, Ciara cleared the air, saying her tweet had nothing to do with Rihanna. “I didnt say any thing about any1 and a story is created..there is no need for me to hide what i feel or be subliminal when it pertains to that situation. If i had anything to say i would have said it directly.”
It's no secret that former 'View' host Star Jones and 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' cast member NeNe Leakes have little love for each other, but now NeNe has stooped to a new low by hanging out with Star's ex-husband, Al Reynolds.|Source: popeater.com|
"Star thinks it's pathetic that these two has-beens have teamed up together," a friend of Star's tells me. "NeNe knows how much pain and hurt that man caused Star. For NeNe to suddenly befriend him tells you exactly what sort of woman she really is."
"Al will do anything to get back into the press, including hanging out with reality stars," a friend of Star's tells me. "But to be getting close and personal with a woman who has publicly stated she wouldn't spit on your ex-wife if she was on fire is just desperate."
NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Rapper and actor Ja Rule pleaded guilty to tax evasion Tuesday in a Newark, New Jersey federal courtroom.
The platinum-selling rapper admitted to not paying taxes on more than $3 million in income earned between 2004 and 2006.
As part of a plea agreement, the government has dismissed two counts against him for unpaid taxes on income earned in 2007 and 2008.
The 35-year-old performer is expected to be sentenced on the tax evasion charges in June.
He is also facing sentencing that month in New York after pleaded guilty in December to attempted weapon possession. He agreed to a two-year prison term in that case.
Ja Rule was nominated for a 2002 best rap album Grammy Award for “Pain is Love.”
Chris Brown exploded in rage behind the scenes at "Good Morning America" this morning ... smashing a window and storming out without a shirt ... sources tell TMZ ... and it was triggered by on-air questions about the Rihanna incident.
ABC sources tell TMZ ... Brown performed and was interviewed by Robin Roberts live from the Times Square studio when she began asking about the infamous incident.
Brown tried to redirect the questions to focus on his album -- but Roberts continued to ask about Brown's legal issues stemming from the Rihanna incident.
We're told after the interview, Brown freaked out, storming into his dressing room and screaming so loud, the people in hair and makeup became alarmed and called security.
We're told Brown was out of control, and one source present tells us he smashed a window in his dressing room, and the glass shattered and some shards fell onto 43rd and Broadway.
We're told by the time security rushed the area, Brown had ripped off his shirt and left the building, blowing off another performance he was supposed to do for the ABC website.
Remember -- Brown is on probation for the felony beating and he's required to obey all laws

“Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada has an incredibly lucrative back-up plan in case she decides to quit the show — why, a NEW reality show of course … co-starring her NFL star fiancé Chad Ochocinco.
Sources close to Evelyn tell TMZ — as soon as E! execs caught wind that she wanted to quit “Basketball Wives” … they approached her with a new TV offer.
We’re told the new show would feature both Evelyn and Ocho living the life — which is kinda difficult … because she lives in Miami … and he lives in Cincinnati.
Evelyn hasn’t made any official decision yet — but according to sources, the couple is seriously entertaining the offer.
LA Reid and Doug Morris aren’t the only power players leaving the Universal Music Group for Sony Music. In what is possibly one of the most shocking moves in music since Janet Jackson parted ways with Island Def Jam, Mariah Carey will also be leaving UMG to return to Sony.
Carey, who became the best-selling act on Columbia Records in less than 8 years, left Sony in 2000 following her tumultuous divorce from the company’s then head Tommy Mottola and signed a record-setting yet short-lived $80 million deal with Virgin Records. She then joined UMG in 2002 after the failure of her ‘Glitter’ movie and soundtrack which led Virgin to buy out her contract for over $28 million.
The diva has only 1 album left to deliver for UMG and will reportedly release the project by the end of this year. Other records Carey put forward while signed to the company include the 6x platinum ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ which was co-executive produced by Reid.
This results of this decision could be incredibly good or catastrophically bad for Carey. The real question is which label under the Sony umbrella is best suited for her?
J Records is the home of her longtime chart rival Whitney Houston and most of the female R&B acts signed have not enjoyed the platinum success or heavy radio airplay that Carey hungers. With Ciara currently experiencing public difficulty with Jive (where Reid is most likely to lead), Beyonce dominating Columbia and Christina Aguilera on RCA, this will be a tricky decision indeed.
