Jennifer Lopez Scraps New Single "Louboutins".

According to The Grape Juice, Jennifer Lopez has scrapped her new single "Louboutins". Even after her "Comeback Performance" at the AMAs. You know the one...The one where she took a tumble and got up like a champ, but u could tell everybody was fired after it...LOL!

Here is what The Grape Juice has to say:

With Jennifer Lopez’s comeback single ‘Louboutins’ currently struggling to chart, reliable sources have informed That Grape Juice that 40 year old’s label have scrapped the single in its entirety – no video, no iTunes release, no nothing. Instead, her team are deeming ‘Louboutins’ a ‘buzz single’ (sound familar?) and are gearing up for the release of an entirely new ‘first official single’ – set to be rolled out early 2010. Lopez’s new LP ‘Love?‘ is still scheduled for a March 2010 release.

I guess her comeback is at a standstill. I pray she comes back harder. I am a J. Lo fan.

Introducing SALT!

God, have I been blessed! Blessed enough to be safe in a covering of beautifully talented individuals. A lot of people ask me everyday what do I do. They say, "You look like someone important. What do you do?" Well, for those who do not know what I do, I am apart of a group of "Creative Collectives" called SALT. SALT is the brainchild of Abe and Reiko Clark to help push their artist, Micah Kiyo. SALT eventually will turn into a full fledged label. A label full of "Anti-Industry" heads. We are all passionate about our work, and what we see for ourselves in the future. We do not go by what's hot, or politically correct. We go by the vision God gave us. We are all tested, tried, and trusted. It's more than a working relationship, we are like family. We pray with each other, fellowship, debate, create, cry, and love on each other. Hopefully, we can become a new way to do things.

Retailers Stop Selling Chris Brown's New Album

Chris Brown's rant that U.S. music retailers are boycotting his new album "Grafitti," appears to be unfounded. Brown took to his Twitter account -- which is now inactive -- over the weekend to complain about the fulfillment and display of his album in a series of posts. "im tired of this sh*t. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f**k do i gotta do... ... yeah i said it and i aint retracting shit im not biting my tongue about shit else... the industry can kiss my ass," read messages posted. He also noted specifically that he "JUST WAS AT WALMART IN Wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself. A survey and store visits find that Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Trans World, Newbury Comics are all carrying the Brown record and sources say that his album received widespread distribution and promotion by his label, Jive Records, and his distributor, Sony Music Entertainment. Jive shipped over 400,000 units of "Graffiti," and also had it positioned in prime stores space at all key accounts, according to sources. In fact, sources suggest that Jive may have overshipped his record, as sales are slow. 'Overstocked' "Not only am I carrying it, I am over carrying it, because it isn't selling," says the head of purchasing at one large chain. "I wish I could return it." He says the album's first week sales only reached 40% of expectations. At 27-unit Newbury Comics, Carl Mello head of purchasing, echoes that sentiment. "We have it; it's not selling much." He says the chain never even considered boycotting Brown -- an accusation leveled by the artist on Twitter. Brown pleaded guilty to charges in connection with his attack of former girlfriend Rihanna in February, just before the Grammy Awards show. "We never considered not bringing it in," Mello says. "If we stopped bringing in records from every unsavory character that puts out an album, there would be tumbleweed floating around our stores." When ordering the record, Mello says he took into account Brown's altercation with Rihanna from a sales perspective, only. After saying, "Let's see what has happened with his sales since the incident," Mello reports that "Exclusive," which was issued in November 2007, sold 11 copies chainwide in October 2008, 8 copies in November, 5 units un January, 4 in February, 2 in March, and 0 copies in April, May and June. "From July until now, we have sold 3 copies," Mello adds. "When you see an artist is going to release a new album and then you go back and see these kind of sales, alarm bells go off. You don't feel over confident about bringing in a lot of records." Nevertheless, "we brought in the new album because you know you are going to sell some," Mello says. "We let the consumer vote on it." And so far, consumers aren't flocking to stores to vote on behalf of Brown. Sources project that Brown sold about 100,000 units last week, well below the 150,000-175,000 units he was expected to sell. Mello says that the album is probably about the No. 40 best-selling title at the chain. Even Wal-Mart -- which was singled out by Brown on Twitter as one of the so-called merchants boycotting his record because the Wallingford, Conn., store didn't have it in stock -- says they are carrying the Brown album. "We are surprised at the comments on Twitter, since all Walmart stores carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store had in fact sold through their copies over the weekend. The majority of our stores are showing today they have copies on hand." Likewise Billboard found plenty of Brown in stock at Best Buy in Union Square and on Broadway by Houston Street, in Manhattan, as well as at the J&R Music World superstore in downtown Manhattan. Jive declined to comment. http://www.billboard.com/news/chris-brown-s-twitter-rant-against-retailers-1004053561.story#/news/chris-brown-s-twitter-rant-against-retailers-1004053561.story SMH!

THE BIG COMEBACK POST!

OK! It's been a lot going on!!!! I've been toying with internal conflicts, as well as business conflicts. Renovation of my house, job searches, and mainly just trying to keep myself from driving myself crazy. God told me this blog is going to be one of the top blogs out there, so I will trust in his words and keep it moving. This will also be my venting tool, but enough of that.

Since I've been gone, a lot has happened in the world of entertainment.

-Rihanna's reign isn't quite as strong as she thinks it is as she debuts at #4 on the Billboard charts with 180k units sold...Not bad! She has NEVER debuted at #1, but she is a consistent seller, but only time will tell.

-Beyonce is the leader of Grammy Nominations with 10 nods. TEN!!!!! OMG!!!! WHY?! "I Am...Sasha Fierce" was NOT that good...but honestly she is top billing right now, even if she is a one-trick pony, people like that ONE TRICK! HMPH! WHITNEY HOUSTON, who had a better album was SHUT OUT from the Grammy committee! I guess her comeback is running out of steam. Yeah, Beyonce is a GREAT entertainer, but when is her music going to live up to the hype?!

-Vibe Magazine is back! The Hip Hop entertainment mag shut down earlier this year, but was brought back to life, and re-vamped to keep up with the times. The "Comeback" issue will have Chris Brown and Drake on 2 different covers. Go Cop That! Vibe is an inspiration for me. I read like EVERY issue. It's a magazine that you ACTUALLY can read. They have great stories and they were ahead of their time.

-Fantasia has a new reality show on VH1. The show is called "Fantasia For Real", and it is set to premiere on Jan. 11th, 2010. I am excited about this show. My homie, Toye Adedipe is Fantasia stylist, and he is doing a remarkable job on making sure she looks good. He is set to be apart of the show as well. Check him out at toyeadedipe.blogspot.com

These are all the updates I honestly care about right now...LOL!
There is more, but I want to start fresh, so I hope you feel caught up. Anything else will be fresh off the press.

THE DEVIL!

Right when I start back, my net crashes, and all the phones die...THE devil IS a LIAR!

OK...I'm Back!

Sorry Guys...I have been in a weird state and was wondering if I should go forward in doing the blog. I felt like that because I am wondering what can I bring to the table as far as being an entertainment blog, but I have some things up my sleeve, and I think this blog will be huge! I need you guys help though, because I CANNOT do it alone. If you like the blog, then send it out to all your friends. I need this thing to grow. WE need this to grow...with that being said, I thank each and every person who visits and comments. I really appreciate it. You have no idea!
