Mariah Carey premieres her new video for her first single, “Touch My Body” from her upcoming 11th studio album, E=MC², via Island Records. I must say, even though the song is slowly creeping up to growing on me, the video knocked it a couple of notches down on my list of listenables. It’s just too campy and corny. Check it out and let me know what you think…

Trina feat. Keyshia Cole - I Gotta Thang For You (full) - listen
In all honesty, this doesn’t sound like Keyshia Cole towards the end, but I have no doubt that it’s her. “I Gotta Thang For You,” I’m sure, is a big contender for second single from Trina’s upcoming album, Still Da Baddest.

Nicole Scherzinger - Who’s Gonna Love You (full) - listen
Here’s another Nicole Scherzinger song from her shelved album, Her Name Is Nicole. This song was produced by Polow Da Don. This is more pop-sounding song from Polow.

The store is said to sell everything from $13 cosmetic bags decorated with pastel O’s to “a pair of Gianfranco Ferré brown crocodile ankle boots worth $300, taken directly from Oprah’s closet.
And word is, this store opening is only the beginning:
Steven Keith Platt, director of the Platt Retail Institute, suggests that this may only be the beginning for Winfrey’s plunge into retail. “If the clothing lines take off, look for more stores and a licensing deal with the likes of Target, JC Penney, etc.,” says Platt. “Oprah Winfrey is an American icon. If she puts her name on an apparel line, it will be huge- way beyond her own stores. If Martha Stewart can make it big at Kmart, [there] is no denying that our girl Oprah can.” SOURCE
