New Michael Jackson Songs
Posted in Akon, Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo on the September 11, 2009
A multitude of unreleased Michael Jackson songs were found on a computer in the late singer’s rented Holmby Hills mansion and according to the King of Pop’s manager, Frank DiLeo, there were at least 100 songs on the hard drive. Some were recorded during the 1980s. Those were tracks left off of ‘Bad’ and ‘Thriller’. Other songs feature current talent like Ne-Yo and Akon. The Jackson family currently has the computer in their possession, but the estate lawyers will soon recover the contents so it can be logged. I wonder whether they will decide to release a posthumous album. I hope they do.

Leona Lewis Talks New Album
Posted in Concert, Justin Timberlake, Leona Lewis, Ne-Yo on the June 19, 2009
Leona Lewis is currently working on the follow up to her Grammy-winning album ‘Spirit’ and is now making preparations for what could be a two-year world tour. The 24-year old British singing sensation shared “I’ll be touring in 2010 and through to the year after. I just can’t wait.” Her as yet untitled album will feature collaborations with Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Leona told Britain’s Daily Star that “The music has a different feel this time. It’s more of a live, heavier sound with a lot of real instruments. It’s something I’ll be able to perform live.” I can’t wait to hear it.
Ne-Yo No Show
Posted in Ne-Yo on the January 9, 2009
Partygoers in Bellevue, Washington shelled out some money to party with R&B singer Ne-Yo last on New Year’s Eve as he was advertised to perform at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center with tickets starting at $75 and running up to $1200 for a VIP table. The problem is that he never showed up. One partygoer said “Everything from the tickets to the Web site indicated that Ne-Yo would be there. At 11:30 they had a pre-recorded message from Ne-Yo. He was on a plane from Nigeria and not able to come. They probably knew a day in advance. They could have canceled or given a refund.”

Jennifer Hudson in the Spotlight
Posted in Barack Obama, Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo on the September 15, 2008
Jennifer Hudson attended the grand opening of the Kwiat flagship boutique on Madison Avenue in New York City last week. The 26-year old singer and actress also recently sang the National Anthem at the Democratic National Convention as requested by Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Who knew he was a ‘Dreamgirls’ fan? Jen’s new self-titled album is set to drop in stores on September 30. The lead single off the album ‘Spotlight’ was written and produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate. Considering who she’s worked with, I’m pretty sure that it’s going to be a hit. I’m pretty sure Barack’s going to get himself a copy too.
Ne-Yo Gets Busted
Posted in FUNNY, Ne-Yo, News, Photography, R&B, Scandal on the February 26, 2008
Cops are certainly getting their work cut out for them by celebrities. It seems that there’s one celebrity getting arrested each week. The most recent is R&B singer Ne-Yo. The singer, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, was arrested on Tuesday in Cobb County, Georgia for reckless driving and for not having a valid license.
As far as his mug shot goes, I have only one thing to say. Now I know why he’s always wearing beanies and hats. What the heck is up with that receding hairline? Someone needs to rush to the Hair Club for Men. Maybe that’s why he was speeding.
R. Kelly Hits the Road
Posted in Concert, Music, Music People, Ne-Yo, Photography, R&B, R. Kelly, Singers on the November 20, 2007
It’s been up in the air for months now but it seems that not even 14 counts of child pornography charges can stop R. Kelly from hitting the stage for his latest US tour. And wouldn’t you know it? The tour has kicked off already.
The R&B singer will be joined on the road by the likes of Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo and J. Holiday. It’s a good thing to know that all three front acts are of legal age. The only obstacle that’s still in front of R. Kelly is getting permission to travel. When you are accused of messing with kids, you apparently get treated like one.
Rihanna Ft. Ne-Yo “Hate That I Love You” New Single

Ne-Yo Speaks Out About Britney Spears
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Music, Music People, Ne-Yo, New Single, Rumor, Singers, TV Show on the August 30, 2007
Ne-Yo, who apparently writes hits, wrote a bunch of songs for Britney Spears and was going to help her get back. Britney, however, never returned any calls or said if she wanted his songs. So Ne-Yo sold his hits to Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. Damn! Britney lost “Umbrella” to Rihanna, the chick with the world’s biggest forehead, and then lost songs to a freaking Pussycat Doll? I don’t really listen to this kind of crappy music so I can’t say whether or not Ne-Yo is talented, but I can tell you he’s business savvy. Passing up on Britney Spears these days always seems like the smartest move, no matter what. And Britney going bust up is the easiest thing that she can manage to do, hahha. If ever people wanted to make a successful bet then the best chance is that one put a bet that within two days she gonna bust up or fire her manager or leave the kids in a hotel room while she has a good time in the pool. Make any bet with your pals on these lines and you could be a winner. Man I am off to secure my bet.
