Whitney Houston is planning to tour the UK for the first time in over a decade.
The “I Look to You” singer will play five arena dates starting next April in venues across England and Scotland.
“This is my first full tour since the My Love Is Your Love tour in 1999 and I am so excited to be performing for my fans around the world after all this time,” Whitney said. “I am putting together a great show and cannot wait to perform the songs from my new album Look to You along with some of your favorites.”

Beyonce Knowles Less Sexy in Malaysia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce Knowles has vowed to wear “appropriate” clothing for her controversial show in Malaysia.
The “Crazy in Love” singer’s scheduled concert in the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 has been met with anger by Islamic extremists, who claim her sexy outfits and provocative stage routines are “immoral” and will corrupt young people.
But the 28-year-old star - who had to pull out of a concert in the country two years ago after the same group, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, threatened to protest at the show - has agreed to tone down her performance, meaning the concert can go ahead. Show organizers Marctensia said all parties had reached an “amicable understanding.”
“We are confident that the concert will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track… in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region,” a spokesperson for the entertainment company added.
In August 2007, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up for her Malaysian concert. The flamboyant star wore “sober” outfits but called it a “major sacrifice.” She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.

Whitney Houston unveils I Look to You video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Music Videos, The Charts, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Whitney Houston’s GMA performance may have had its flaws (it’s all your fault, Oprah!), but she’s looking flawless here.
In this new video for “I Look to You,” the diva comes very close - very close - to making us all forget her years on Being Bobby Brown. (Though I’m secretly hoping she won’t.)
This clip arrives just after Houston’s CD of the same name hit #1 on the album charts. The last time the artist achieved that (outside of The Bodyguard soundtrack) was in 1987 with Whitney.

Surprise Wedding for Christina Milian and Producer Boyfriend
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, R&B / Soul,
I bet when a young Christina Milian envisioned her big day, she never imagined it would involve The-Dream.
On Friday, the “Dip It Low” singer and her music producer boyfriend hit up Las Vegas for a low-key wedding. The nuptials took place just over a month after the two announced their engagement.
Christina, who has an upcoming album titled Elope, wore a $200 rental dress during the service. The-Dream (a.k.a. Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash) also shelled out $100 for his rented tuxedo.
The midnight ceremony took place at the Little White Wedding Chapel. That’s the same locale Britney Spears’ annulled marriage to Jason Alexander began.

VIDEO: Whitney Houston Performs for GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Videos, R&B / Soul,
The show may be called Good Morning America, but that didn’t keep Whitney Houston from doing it her way.
Although ABC has hosted many musicians on the program before, Houston didn’t want to perform at such an ungodly hour. Hence, the singer’s pre-taped concert today in Central Park. (The appearance will be aired tomorrow on GMA.) In total, Whitney sang four songs for the waiting crowd: “Million Dollar Bill,” “I Look to You,” “My Love Is Your Love” and “I’m Every Woman.”
Get a preview from that concert above, then set your DVRs for her interview with Oprah on September 14.

In the past year, Tionne Watkins (a.k.a T-Boz) has kept herself busy with appearances on both The Celebrity Apprentice and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now she has an even bigger project in store.
Later this fall, the musician will reunite with another former TLC member for a concert in Vegas. The show with Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas will be their first in the US since 2002. That’s also the same year Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes - the third member of the Grammy-winning R&B/Hip Hop group - was killed after a car accident in Honduras.

Mary J. Blige: Latest Idol Guest Judge
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, R&B / Soul,
Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige may be far apart musically, but their resumes do have one thing in common: American Idol.
Late this week, the former Spice Girl wrapped up her two-city stint as a guest judge in Boston. Her last-minute help was requested when Paula Abdul left the program. Now Blige will be the one adding the input when the show moves to Atlanta.
The Grammy award-winning R&B singer is no stranger to making television appearances. In addition to a performance on One Life to Live, she’s starred as herself on both Entourage and 30 Rock.

Which had a bigger visual impact this year? Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” dance or Lady Gaga’s eccentric outfits?
On September 13, both ladies will have the opportunity to take home 9 Moonmen from this fall’s Video Music Awards. That’s the most nominations for any artist his year. (There are only two categories - Best New Artist and Best Choreography - in which the two don’t compete against each other.)

While it’s still unclear whether anyone’s buying Chris Brown’s videotaped apology, people are starting to buy his music again. Why? Well, he has Jill and Kevin to thank.
