Cringe? Scream? Run out and buy tickets? Leave the one you're with and start a new relationship with...? (Sorry, couldn't help it.) But seriously, when news that Usher will be hitting the road for an intimate, 15-city sweep called the Ladies-Only One Night Stand Tour hit the net earlier this week, I chuckled. Not because I don't think it will work, because really, who 
In a career-cresting move, it seems a couple of our favorite acts, Michael Jackson and New Edition, will be propping up New Kids on the Block. People, this is so wrong it has to be right! We're not sure of the title of the new NE/NKOTB track, but all one hundred and twenty-five of both group's members (not sure if Bobby was involved, since he has other things to contend with like Usher stealing his career and Whitney being Whitney) jammed into the studio and there were allegedly no fistfights. Disappointing, because if we learned anything from that recent Dru Hill business, a staged altercation can drum up interest in a formerly interesting boy band, for a couple of days at least. The details on the status of the Michael Jackson collab are slim, but both projects seem to be spearheaded by presumptive New Kids leader Donnie Wahlberg, who was killed in one of those Saw movies.

Let me tell you something, R. Kelly has been on our SH*TLIST for a hot minute here at SoulBounce. One, because he considers being wack a goal, and two, I wouldn't trust him with a goldfish let alone my daughter. With that said, imagine the collective disgust that shot throughout SBHQ when the "not guilty" verdict was revealed last week. Celebrity justice at it's finest, people! According to numerous reports, the jurors concluded that it was indeed Kelly in the video, but had some reservations about the identity of the young lady. 
I just really don't know what to say without sounding hateful. I didn't realize Pras Michel was even still allowed to make music. Also, his forthcoming project, entitled Experience Magic, will be his third, as in, he's made more than one. Wow. Known for trying to "Stay Alive," being out-shined by ODB and Mya on the title track of his first album, and calling Lauryn Hill everything but a child of God does not a career make. I'm sorry, ya'll. At any rate, since we're nothing if not informative (actually we're more, but engage me), Pras released a new single called "My Ex" and his new joint will drop in September. So that's what's going on with Pras. I can't. [SR]
D'Angelo has firmly established himself as one of the biggest c**kteases in soul music. After the quiet, non-label sanctioned release of Yoda: The Monarch of Soul, we have what is being touted as the official D'Angelo collection slated for release on June 24th entitled The Best So Far...
Yes, I realize I'm breaking about eleventy thousand cardinal rules by posting this (Mr. Lowe, I see you), but if anyone reading this has any theories about how Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Ritchie hooked up with 106 & Park, I'm dying to hear them. Last I checked, it was May 1st, not April 1st, and I don't see any of the Four Horsemen in the horizon. That could only mean one thing: this sh*t is true. "For the first time in BET history, legendary music phenom Madonna will visit the network's hit countdown show, 106 & Park, on Friday, May 2 at 6:00 PM. Hosted by fan favorites Terrence and Rocsi, 106 is prepared to give Madonna a welcome celebration like never before. To predict her next evolution, Terrence and Rocsi will get Madonna to foresee the future. Rocsi will also do yoga positions that Madonna will comment on, and Terrence will do some dance moves for her to judge. Madonna will also introduce her new video '4 Minutes,' featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland."
Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to SmutBounce. I already know our Google ads are acting straight retarded as they scramble to relate to this entry, but, we're not going to pretend this isn't happening. Remember that rumor not too long ago about the supposed Rick James sex tape? Remember how you were all "Okay, so what? He probably has dozens, but that doesn't mean I want to see them"? The film shows a naked man who resembles Hendrix, the guitar legend who died in 1970, wearing a bandanna in his Afro, having sex with two brunettes in a dimly lighted bedroom. His full face appears on screen for only a few seconds, with his eyes closed. In other portions there are flashes of his profile. But his hands, bedecked with rings, roam large on the screen at times. The film has no audio.Oh, and there's about 11 minutes of "sex footage". And a bonus disc! What a bunch of malarky. It's probably not even him.
Apparently, John Legend is more than willing to give away whatever soul he had left. Seriously. According to Billboard.com, the Grammy winner has been meeting with several advertising firms to discuss promotional strategies for his upcoming project, feeling the need to go "mainstream" with his music. "I want to go beyond what the label machine always does and think of some cool ideas," Legend said recently. He feels that working with a label restricts his marketability, saying that he wants an ad firm that "launches other products to use their knowledge to launch my music." Wow. You mean the relationships with Baileys, Verizon, Lexus, Tide, GQ, The Gap, Target and American Express isn't enough?!?!? Nice.
