NEW MUSIC FROM KELLY ROWLAND & MYA

With all these new tracks leaking from Kelly’s album, I’m actually starting to believe that “Ms. Kelly” is going to be released. This new song, “Work (Put It In)” was originally slated for the first single, according to the Music World site, but I guess they though that “Like This” would have been a better hit, and I kind of agree, even though it took me a while to get into it. It has been said that Solange wrote on this song, and I had no idea, at first, that it featured Fat Joe. I don’t think he adds much to the son. I’m not quite sold of “Work (Put It In)” but perhaps it will grow on me, just like “Like This” did. Let me know what you think of this in comparison to Kelly’s other material.

Soul legend Aretha Franklin is on a crash diet in a bid to lose weight before her wedding next month. The singer has signed up for that Jenny Craig Diet and is limiting herself to 1,750 calories-a-day in an effort to slim down. Franklin says, “I’m at 1,750 calories a day and I’m starving. “You just have to get used to portions and changing your lifestyle.” The heavyweight diva, who will wed long term boyfriend Willie Wilkerson, Jr. next month, insists she knows the Jenny Craig diet works – because she has seen amazing results in the past.

She tells “Sister 2 Sister magazine,”

“I lost 23 or 24 pounds to begin with, but it’s kind of a strain when you get to 23 or 24 pounds. That’s why I got off of it. “It’s a strain because you’re eating the Jenny Craig-type meals, which are very good. But you can only eat them for so long before you want some barbecue ribs or some pigs feet. “Once you get off that Jenny Craig thing and you start eating what you’ve been eating, it’s all over.”
