Beyonce has been going on and on since 1950 so we're not surprised.

And in Gaga news:

“The Fame Monster really is a new album, so I guess it’s kind of my second album, and then I’ll put out a third album I guess next year.”

RIHANNA BREAKS RECORDS...remains the hottest chick in the game while doing so

Rihanna managed to release 8 singles which debuted on the Hot 100 charts within the past 1 year and 7 months. Shania Twain was the last person to do this but in a longer period of time. Although her record included a rerelease, it is all recorded as coming from one album. The singles are below:

“Good Girl Gone Bad,” in chronological order:
“Umbrella,” No. 1 for seven weeks (2007) [Rihanna featuring Jay-Z]
“Shut Up and Drive,” No. 15 (2007)
“Hate That I Love You,” No. 7 (2007) [Rihanna featuring Ne-Yo]
“Don’t Stop the Music,” No. 3 (2008)
“Take a Bow,” No. 1 for one week (2008)
“If I Never See Your Face Again,” No. 51 (2008) [Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna]
“Disturbia,” No. 1 for two weeks (2008)
“Rehab,” No. 91 to date (2008)

Unlike Shania however, she hasn't come close to selling the amount of albums she should have. Shania did 10 million in the US alone. Rihanna has done 1.8 in the US totals 5 million world wide.

HMMMM

DISTURBIA!!! RIHANNA PASSES OUT IN CONCERT

Approximately half way through the performance, Rihanna hunched over in obvious discomfort and signaling that she wasn’t feeling well.

Rihanna fell unconscious while in Australia and is now under medical attention!!!!Word is that Rihanna was taken to a local hospital for observation. Her current condition is not known. Neither is the exact cause of her illness.
_____

I hope she's okay but this clearly separates the amateur from the real pros. Beyonce and Ciara would have never let this happen. Super Ci would push through the pain and passed out in a back bend on stage only to be carried out by her handlers. Beyonce would have raised Sasha from the dead to finished the concert while she was at the hospital.

THESE JOKERS ARE NOT WELCOMED AT ALL....

First THIS now according to YBF:

Oprah told both of them not to show up to the major Inauguration Balls because this “wasn’t about them”. How funny is that coming from Lady O?

Lady O has spoken. Ha at these lames. They think paying off urban radio stations make them special. Sorry....You may attend the inauguration and then take yo azzes home. And take your bishes with yall.

VIBE EDITOR RESPONDS TO CIARA RUMORS

Danyel Smith said the photo was nude and it was suppose to be nude and Ciara was on board for it. She also said Ciara is not mad and blogs were blowing it out of proportion. That Ciara is not suing Vibe at all.

Okay I'm over this. Blame Perez don't blame me I didn't start the rumors.

Oh yea and she tells Robin Thicke that when he reaches the status that would warrant getting the cover, they will call. In so many words, lol.

CIARA IS PISSED AND SHE'S SUING

Ciara made a vlog on the set of the Vibe magazine shoot talking about 'suggestive nudity' and it was classy....and I'm thinking, are we seeing the same pics. I figured she was making excuses to her fans for showing her azz on Vibe magazine. The cover looks like she's taking a constipated crap on the floor while naked (mouth open and all...) I thought it was a little out of character but whateva...

Just as I began to accept this new hoochified version of Ciara, Perez Hilton gets an exclusive that Ciara intend to sue Vibe because of the cover. According to Perez:

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that songstress Ciara's one-two-stepping Vibe magazine to court because the shady pub - according to her - airbrushed all the clothes off of her in a recent cover photo.

The song and dance queen appears to be naked on the October Vibe cover, but sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that she DID NOT pose nude and that she's suing Vibe for making it appear as such.

This is the same Vibe that quoted Chris Brown as saying 'I don't want no Ciara' and making a stinky face...which he denied later and even went on to tell Giant magazine he tried to holla at Ci 3x in the past which she turned down. The same Vibe magazine that put Toni Braxton on the cover naked which she later announced she did not pose like that and they erased her clothes digitally. The same Vibe magazine that posted a hideious pic of Mary J which pissed her off so much she vowed never to pose for the magazine again.

Looks like there are a lot of people are determined to damage the character of the Princess these days. But in her own words..."they couldn't touch me if they tried." Brush it off and keep on the grind Cici.

Ciara's new album comes out in December 2008 and according to her label, her first worldwide tour is scheduled for 2009.

MARK YOUR CALENDERS BISHES

Beyonce's back...and from what I hear you will be happy to know that she is not just making pop/radio friendly music this time around. She told UK's Marie-Claire magazine she wants to be iconic and not just a pop star.....

Beyoncé has finally set a release date for her as-yet-untitled third studio album: The wannabe icon will unleash her new tunes on Nov. 18.

While she probably doesn't need to worry too much about hyping the hotly anticipated release, she'll still be amping things up on Oct. 7, when she simultaneously releases the first two singles from the album, "If I Were A Boy" and "Single Ladies."

The new album—her first as a (quietly) married woman—follows up 2006's B'Day and, according to her Columbia record label is the Grammy winner's "most personal, reflective and revelatory collection to date."

The 27-year-old cowrote and coproduced every track on the album.
