Actress Gabrielle Union took time out from her busy schedule to participate at the Los Angeles Public Library’s “Jumpstart Read for the Record” event. Gabrielle is presently prepping for her role as Geneva Wade in Cadillac Records, a film that pairs her up with fellow actress Chyna Layne and singer Beyonce Knowles. In the meantime rapper Eve along with Mc Lyte, Joy Bryant, Estelle, and others, came out to show their support of hip hop legends at the 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors.

British pop star Estelle has watched her new album, Shine, plummet down the US music charts after her record label, Warner Brothers, had it yanked from iTunes. The decision to remove the album from the download giant was apparently made to force fans to buy the entire album, rather than just singles, a move many other artists have made, including Jay-Z and most recently Kid Rock, who shares the same label as Estelle.

American Boy was in the top 10 before it’s removal on iTunes and was #11 on Billboard’s official singles chart.
