Chris Brown - Sing Like Me (click to enlarge)

R&B/Pop singer Chris Brown has faced a year full of criticism and backlash from the media and fans but all he really wants to do is make them dance. On the newly released track, Sing Like Me, off his new album Graffiti, they’ll do just that.

The sexy song takes Chris to the club where he meets a pretty lady he’d like to take home. He has all kinds of too-hot-for-TV ideas in mind once he gets her there. The end result is her swooning galore over the talented 20-year-old or singing–like Chris. Clever!

This is the third full length song from Graffiti to make its way to the internet joining singles I Can Transform Ya and Crawl. The video to Crawl will premiere tomorrow (November 13) during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.

Rihanna - Hard (click to enlarge)

Rihanna says the “R” in her new album title, Rated R, stands for her name, but the cover art for some of her singles may prove otherwise.

The newly release single cover for “Hard,” her intentionally arrogant brag-fest featuring Young Jeezy, says the R could stand for “revealing.”

All of the Bajan pop princesses naughty bits are close to being on display in a low-plunging, high-waisted thong swimsuit.

The daring cover goes hand-in-hand with the tone of Rihanna’s fourth album. She’s feeling fearless and strong and ready to step into this new era of her career. So maybe the R also stands for “R-idiculously hot.”

Rated R is in stores November 23.

Last year Katy Perry glammed up the MTV Europe Music Awards stage with the silliest, yet most epic outfits of all times when she played host for the big show. If the new promotional photos for the 2009 MTV EMAs are any indication, Ms. Perry will repeat her trendsetting looks when she steps back into the hosting role.

The 2009 MTV EMAs goes down November 5th in Berlin with performances by Shakira, Tokio Hotel, Leona Lewis, Jay-Z and more! Katy Perry has scored two nominations so there’s a good chance she’ll play host and winner for the evening.

Paramore on set of MTV Unplugged - MTV.com

There was no end to the excitement tingles we felt when we heard Paramore would be breaking out their wit, charm, instruments, and, oh yeah, music to perform on MTV Unplugged. The band, lead by the awesomely cleaver and talented Hayley Williams, are sure to perform songs from their new album, Brand New Eyes, which will arrive in stores nationwide September 29, along with favorites from their breakthrough album, Riot!, like “CrushCrushCrush” and “Misery Business.”

MTV.com released some shots from the taping to tease us senseless until the concert goes live on their Buzzworthy Blog and Unplugged site on September 28.

Take a peek at a couple pics here then head over to MTV.com for the rest.

This year’s summer sweetheart Kristinia DeBarge is already on to single number two from her debut album, Exposed, which was released last week. At first, the 19-year-old singer wanted to releases the bubbly track “Future Love,” but she’s decided to go a little darker with spacey “Sabotage.”

KD recently shot the video for the song while in the middle of a grueling promotional schedule, which includes autograph signings, TV appearances, and rehearsals for her opening slot on Britney Spears‘ summer tour.

Check out a few pics from the set above, and listen to the song below.

Today is the day Beyonce fans have been waiting for since Beyonce’s wrapped her uber-hot Beyonce Experience Tour in 2007. The Mighty B kicks off her I Am…Sasha Fierce world tour. The trek starts in Edmonton, Canada and will travel to Europe, the UK, Asia and America.

As a treat for fans who will have to patiently wait their turn to see the fierce one live, some sweet drawings of her daring stage costumes were revealed.

The fab creations were constructed by designer Thierry Mugler to represent Bey’s “duality between being a woman and a warrior.”

Mugler is also responsible for the figure enhancing dress which seemingly caused a stir over Beyonce’s weight –though, we didn’t notice any unusually heated backlash. 

You can keep up with tour updates by following the I Am… tour’s tweets on Twitter.

The album will feature tracks written by Yamin and produced by a who’s who list of producers including Jermaine Dupri and Norwegian super-producing team Stargate.

In preporation for the new album’s release, Elliott has opened his very first official site. Now fans have an official place to get more information about their favorite idol and find out when they’ll be able to hear the first single from the new set–it’s expected to drop this month.

Along with information, fans are treated to new exclusive photos of the Richmond, VA native.

Check out www.officialelliottyamin.com for the scoop and below for a few of the new pics.

Lily Allen is set to snark up the music world with her sophomore album It’s Not me, It’s You on February 10. So, the goodies are starting to pour in. Like the hot new video for her new single, “The Fear,” the uber-hot album cover, and now some extra hot new promo pics from the album’s photoshoot.

I know I just got done talking about Lily’s hit or miss (but still some kind of a hit) fashion sense, but like I said, when she’s on, she’s on. She’s never looked more stunning. Super moist!

Britney Spears fans rejoice! There is still a few weeks to go before the release of Britney’s new album, Circus, but a preview of several tracks from the album has made it’s way to the internet. Check out a mix of “Womanizer,” “Circus,” “Out From Under,” “Kill The Lights,” “If You Seek Amy,” and “Unusual You.” These songs will be candy for any Brit fan. “Kill The Lights” and ballad “Out From Under” are my favs. Remember the full album hits stores December 2.

Check out two new promo pics from Brit’s album photoshoot.
