♫ HOT OR NOT: KELLY ROWLAND – “BLAZE”


Is Kelly Rowland about to put together a new album? After the disappointing sales of her sophomore effort, 2007′s flash in the pan Ms. Kelly, Rowland hightailed it overseas and gave interviews where she revealed that she was working on a third album.

NEWS ROUNDUP: NEW EXECUTION DATE FOR DAVIS / ‘DUMB N*GGER’ RECEIPT / STATE OF THE BLACK UNION ’09

Troy Anthony Davis has been given another week before he is set to be executed for the 1989 slaying of Mark MacPhail, an off-duty Savannah, Georgia, police officer.

The new date of November 3 is Davis’ third execution date in 15 months.
