Christina Milian chatted with Launch.com about her new yet to be titled album due out sometime next year, which she says will be more R&B than her pop and R&B inspired self-titled debut.

“It was a bit diverse, my first album. I think with this next album, it is a bit more urban, and I want it to pretty much flow a little bit more” she said.

“So, instead of having a whole bunch of great songs, but not really being able to like know who I am. I really want to put it together, and people to get to know me, and go through a journey with me through my music. And also, I think music has changed in a way, too. So, I’m kinda into more urban feel.”

“Anyway, subsequently, I’ve lined up Ja Rule, Charli Baltimore, Irv Gotti. I’m working with a lot of different people. It’s great.”

If you’ve got the chance to hear all the cuts on Robbie Williams’ new album, ‘Escapology’, chances are you’ll find yourself tuning in to a track called ‘Cursed’, which takes a shot at former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

On the track ‘Cursed’, Robbie sings,

The lyrics go

Cursed, since your birth dear/ And your worst fears have all come true/ I was naked when it penetrated/ Told everyone I’d slept with you/ Thought you’d like it/ knew you wouldn’t deny it/

People close to the singer believe his song reveals what happened between the pair, who have gone back and forth on whether their relationship was sexual or not.

A source said “No one really knows whether Robbie and Geri actually slept together. It’s been admitted, it’s been denied but ‘Cursed’ tells the real story.”

“Everyone knows that there’s no love lost now between them. They were once the best of friends. Now they are the bitterest of enemies. Robbie reckons Geri’s solo success turned her into someone who scared him. He wants to tell his side.”

Meanwhile, critics have praised Robbie’s single ‘Feel’ and are claiming that it might just be Robbie’s ticket into making it huge in the US of A.

Robbie’s new LP is scheduled to be released into shops come the 18th of November.

HipOnline.com chatted with Jennifer Love Hewitt about her new album ‘Barenaked’, where she talked about being on Jive Records and whether labelmates Britney Spears and N’Sync have offered her advice.

“Not really. You know, it’s funny because I’ve only met Britney a couple of times and that was completely separate from, you now, me really being on Jive that much” J Love said.

“The boys I’ve known for a while since I was really young. And, you know, they would sit behind me and pull on my pony tale and sit behind me at award shows. And so, you know, they’re friends, and I think a lot of them. N’Sync have been super supportive of my musical stuff.”

“And, you know, have just been really, really kind. I’m so glad to get to be on a label with young people that are, you know, doing so well in the music industry. And, you know, have very strong views on how they want their career to go and, you know, kind of stand up for themselves and all of that stuff.”

“I think it’s great, and you know, I feel honored and complimented that I would get to be within such a great group of people. And Jive Records has just been so amazing and such a dream place to be that I couldn’t really want to wish to be anywhere else.”

Bobby Brown was out of control during Usher’s birthday party at the Highlands club in Los Angeles.

Hitting the show without wife Whitney Houston, a source says Brown “stumbled down the stairs” and approached Usher.

“Bobby got down on his hands and knees and started bowing to Usher. Usher invited him on stage and told the crowd, ‘Here’s my man Bobby Brown, the original king of R&B!’ and they hugged” said an invited guest.

“But after the hug, Brown “went all Jekyl & Hyde” on Usher and started screaming, “You need to respect me! You took my spot! You are taking away my shine! I should be on stage, not you!”

A shocked Usher had to call security to escort Brown away when Houston’s hubby tried to fight him on stage.
