Just last night, Beyoncé and Jay-Z attended friend and collaborator The-Dream’s “Kill the Lights” show at SOB’s in NYC.

Ne-Yo isn’t perfect and his forthcoming album title will co-sign that, but after much speculation the singer/songwriter has announced the first single and scheduled release date for his forthcoming album The Cracks In Mr. Perfect.
Ne-Yo looks to pay homage to a special lady with the lead single “Don’t Make ‘Em Like You No More,” produced by Chuck Harmony, he recently told AOL’s TheBoombox. He announced the album is expected to hit stores on June 26, and will also include production from Stargate and No I.D.
Music isn’t the only thing on his plate this year though, as he looks to further his professional career with his new alcoholic beverage, ‘Malibu Red,’ and his fashion line ‘Francis Alargo.’

Former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton debuts the video for “Lipstick&Guilt,” her unexpected, buzzed about remake of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “No Church in the Wild,” which will appear on her mixtape “P.O.Y.B.L.”
“We were influenced by the dark undertones of the track and Melody’s powerhouse vocals,” said directors Dano Cerny and Marielle Tepper. “We worked with our effects team Nick Young and Zack Young to create a world that matched the mood and beauty but wasn’t your typical video imagery. The great thing about working with Melody is that she thinks out of the box and wants to push the envelope visually, which makes for a great collaboration.”
Melody’s 10-track mixtape “P.O.Y.B.L (Piss On Your Black List)” will be available for free download on March 15. See the cinematic visual below…
