Rumor has it Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad CD will be re-released as a Deluxe Edition, featuring two bonus tracks and an original track called So Glamorous which will feature Beyonce. The Deluxe Edition will also feature a DVD of all Rihanna’s videos and clips from her tour which is still in progress. Word is this new opus will drop worldwide on January 15, 2008. No word yet who wrote and produced the single but I think it’s safe to say it will be hot. I don’t think either of these ladies would work with the other unless they knew they would have a guaranteed hit on their hands. Beyonce will hope to have another smash single like she had with Shakira, while Rihanna will hope to up her record sales which have been sluggish, despite her first single being a worldwide hit.

Sandra “Pepa” Denton celebrated her forty-third birthday yesterday at the Brava Nightclub in Puerto Rico. Pepa’s b-day jam was proceeded by a pool party at the grand opening of the New El San Juan Hotel & Casino. Her partner in rhyme, Cheryl “Salt” James was in attendance, as was Gabrielle Union, singer Nick Lachay, and his gal pal, Vanessa Mannillo. Party pics can be seen on the next page- and wow, can you believe Pepa is actually 43 years old? Nose job or not, the sista looks good.

With the release of Mary J. Blige’s Growing Pains CD right around the corner, you knew it would only be a matter of time before we all got a glimpse of the cover. To your right is the understated, yet elegant pic that was chosen to grace Mary’s new opus. The pic is beautiful. The hairstyle is very Rihanna-ish. The jewelry and make-up are understated. I’m not overwhelmed by it or very impressed, but you all know how hard I am to please when it comes to photo shoots. Still, Mary does look regal, which is probably the look the Queen Of Hip Hop & Soul was aiming for.

Tyra Banks is expanding her empire. The model turned actress, turned singer, turned entrepreneur, turned talk show host, has signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Television. The new deal will allow Tyra to continue to host her two hit show, America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show, and also give her the opportunity to branch out into films. One of Tyra’s first projects will be a direct-to-DVD series with the adaptation of the best selling teen novel “Clique”. “I’ve been a mean girl and I’ve been teased, so I identify with both sides of it,” Banks said in a statement to Daily Variety. “This is very much my brand, especially as teenage girls are dedicated to watching both my shows.”

Singer Keyshia Cole will grace the December cover of Vibe Magazine and what a stunningly beautiful cover it is. I am so loving Keyshia’s new vibe. Her latest photo shoots are completely different from those she did when she first came out. This time around there seems to be a deliberate attempt to downplay her rough edges and instead concentrate her inner and yes, outer beauty. Just look at the cover to your right. It’s the best cover I have ever seen of Keyshia. She looks absolutely gorgeous. From hair to make-up, to styling- wait, she has no clothes on- and yet that is perfect too. However, what I love most of all is that someone was smart enough to airbrush out that tattoo on her arm, making this cover absolutely perfect.

Beyonce extended her Beyonce Experience tour to perform in countries she never had before and it appears to be a wise decision on her part. Though the Beyonce Experience got rave reviews in America, attendance was beyond poor, with many arenas only half full. However, since starting out on her extended tour Beyonce has performed to sold out crowds in Russia and India, with attendance being over 20,000 at each show. Last night’s show in India was not only sold out as well but brought out some of Bollywood’s biggest stars. American stars are huge in India but rarely tour there so Beyonce coming to the country was a treat for her fans and the country in general. Beyonce in return showed her appreciation by performing some of her songs in traditional Indian attire.
