Yep you read it right. Both Sisqo and Bobby Brown signed on to co-star in the new CMT (Country Music Television) show entitled, Gone Country.
Here is the synopsis of the reality series:
Known for pushing the limits of mainstream country music with the genre-bending MuzikMafia, John Rich, of the hit country duo Big & Rich, takes on his biggest challenge yet. He takes seven established performers from every realm of the entertainment and music industries and immerses them in all things country for a chance to break out as the next big country superstar. The one who is most successful at crossing over by the end of the series will have a country single produced by Rich. [SOURCE]
Catch Gone Country when it airs on Fridays at 8pm…
2007 was full of new sounds from artists. With Kanye & Daft Punk’s Stronger being one of the years hottest songs, it opened the door for a new international sound for Hip Hop.
With that international party sound comes international party fashion that made its way down some of Spring 2008 runway shows. Bright colors, fun patterns, and techno shoes shows what New Wave is all about. As this sound evolves more in music this year (with upcoming albums from Janet and Beyonce to name a few), this style trend will definitely evolve as well.
Or you can get a head start now, it’s Friday and the party is about to begin…
Even though Foxy may be behind bars, and trying to get her sentence lessened because of her hearing troubles, it’s not stopping her from releasing her latest album Brooklyn’s Don Diva, which was supposed to drop on February 19th. It’s been a long time coming too. This album has been through plenty of changes and so has Foxy. Hopefully this release will help her get her legal troubles together and she’ll straight out her act.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader John Boehner and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Thursday announced a bipartisan deal on an economic stimulus package that would send rebate checks to most taxpayers in an attempt to keep the economy from falling into recession.
According to CNN Money, most single taxpayers would get $600 while most households with two incomes would receive double that amount. The deal includes an additional $300 per child and a total of 116 million taxpayers will receive checks of some amount. Higher-income taxpayers, those earning $75,000 or more or couples earning $150,000 or more, would get reduced rebate checks or none at all, depending on their income.
Paulson said it is possible that checks could start going out as quickly 60 days after legislation is enacted.
So what do you need to do to receive your check? Absolutely nothing, but since the IRS is currently in the middle of the 2007 tax-filing season, it could be late spring or even early summer before the agency can begin mailing checks.
UPDATE: I’ve heard conflicting reports concerning the impact of rebate checks on your return for next year. Some have said that this is merely an advance payment of your return. Others say that because the IRS is changing the tax tables, the refunds will be based on those and since the checks do not count as earned income, you do not need to report it on your ‘08 return, which means it has no effect on your tax return or refund.
