TUESDAY'S RAVISHING R&B SCOOP

"This junk in the trunk'll put a bump in your pants," Brooke Valentine quips in "Taste of Dis." Will we be getting a taste of this real soon with yet more sexy prowness from Ms V herself? Well according to this, it's likely. These outtakes are just a couple promo pictures from her new album Physical Education (and judging by these a physical education is what we are seeing, hurrah). The album has been pushed back soooo many times as of late especially since her hot track "Dope Girl" failed to make noise last year. The beat was infectiously ominous and had the hotness to bring boom to the dance floor like Cassie's Me & U, so why it failed to impact has always left me bamboozled.


Wicked shoot but as to why Brooke is always left out in the cold, I think Brooke's problem is that she is just an overrall boring artist. Sure, she's attractive, she puts out hot music but what is it exactly that makes her stand out as an artist. You look at her video's and think, okay, that was really not exciting. Let's hope she brings the heat this year. Anyway, check out the others:

Sorry about not having the pictures in HQ but this is one of the best shoots I have seen in a while.

Last month, Mya did a photoshoot for XXL's Hip Hop & Soul magazine and here are the scans in their full-on glory (big up to Mya Harrison.net for posting these). I already posted the Ciara and Usher pictures just before christmas. Mya's album Liberation is set to be released on 8th May 2006, which is also when ANOTHER R&B singer releases their album too. Mya will be releasing her album on the same day as Mario Barrett. His album GO! is also expected to be released on that day too. She also has a guest spot on Marques Houston's new album Veteran called HOLDING BACK. Check out the sexiness:

...

She looks great, but again we have seen so many photoshoots to last us a life time. Mya will shoot the video for first single Lock U Down next month. The song is pretty hot and I can not wait to see Mya strut out those sexy moves therefore giving Ciara some comepetition in the dance department. Now if you were to ask me who the better dancer was, I would have to say Mya, because she can freestyle whereas Ciara is like, very choreographed.

Another set of scans of another R&B songstress is Kelis who graces the front cover of Trace magazine (ultimatekelis.com) and she looks great! I am hoping she really has reverted back to the black hair and got rid of the deathly blonde, unless these are old pictures:

But regardless of when the pictures were taken, this is a really great photoshoot. You work it girl. Meanwhile, somebody is in serious trouble. REAL serious trouble. And it's time to face the music.....

The California Highway Patrol seems like they are not playing concerning this car crash involving R&B songstress Brandy. Apparently, they are continuing their investigation into the Dec. 30 crash involving the singer – and is recommending that she be charged with a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, according to CHP spokesman Leland Tang. The CHP made its recommendation to the Los Angeles City Attorney's office Monday morning. If charged and convicted, the 28-year-old former Moesha star, whose full name is Jennifer Brandy Norwood, could face up to one year in county jail. "We know that Brandy's at fault for the chain reaction of the collision," Tang tells PEOPLE. Tang adds that the investigation found there were no indicators that Brandy was distracted at the moment she rear-ended the 2005 Toyota being driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, who died the evening after the crash at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. The L.A. City Attorney will review the case and decide whether to officially file the charge against her. Brandy's rep had no comment. Here are fatal pictures of the crash:

So this is mad serious. My only query is why are we just suddenly hearing about the crash when it happened almost a month ago? I cannot believe they didn't charge her straight away. If it were any of us ordinary folk, we'd have been arrested and tried immedietely. There would be no delays or hesitations. Some people get into trouble for parking their car on the yellow lines. Some people are charged for driving without a license and speeding even if no one was injured or died, but Brandy actually KILLS someone and they have not charged her. And even IF she is charged and ends up doing a year in jail, that sentence will be shortened to six months. A VERY light punishment for someone who has caused somebody else to die. So I guess we can pretty much say goodbye to her comeback this year. Yeah, nice one Brandy. Seems like being a rivalry of Monica has DIRE consequences. What, what was the name of that R&B singer who died in a plane crash 6 years ago? Sorry to sound a lil salty. I missed Prison Break last night. Fuuuuck.

In other Norwood news, according to UK's Metro, Brandy's younger brother Ray-J has shacked up with Whitney Houston and they are now reportedly living together. Ooooh my! Watch this space for upcoming scoops.
