Leona Lewis has recently been tapped to perform at the Michael Jackson tribute show which is set to be held at London’s O2 Arena. The 24-year old British singer will reportedly be joined by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Usher and Ne-Yo in performances to honor the late King of Pop. The producers are even said to be talking about having a hologram of the iconic Michael projected onto the stage. A date for the tribute show has yet to be finalized but the promoters are hoping to put it on by the end of the summer. I wonder who else will be on the show and how many times it will be put on.

New Kids on the Block’s highly anticipated release of The Block is finally here! Standard and Deluxe editions of the album are available on iTunes here. Check out the band featured on the homepage and celebrity page of Myspace today and watch them discuss their reunion, making of the album and more in this exclusive video.

NKOTB also just premiered the video for “Single” on VH1.com. The guys took over the Vegas clubs in this brand new video featuring R&B sensation Ne-Yo.

R Kelly did it again. He might deny it, his label might deny it, but we all know it’s true. R Kelly can’t stand a double tour with a person that threatens to become to tour star. He must be the only one to get all the attention, otherwise…he continues touring alone.
It’s not the first time when a double concert tour needs to be ended. Some years ago, R Kelly parted the tour he was taking with Jay Z.
The Double Up tour he is on had as a performer along his side a young rap singer, called Ne-Yo. It seems that the 24 year old was getting too much attention, and Kelley probably got offended.

Rihanna was spotted leaving Café Med in Los Angeles on Sunday. The hot Barbados-born singer is rumored to performed her latest single, which features Ne-yo, ‘Hate That I Love You’ at the 2007 American Music Awards.

Other rumored performers include Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Daughtry, Celine Dion, Duran Duran, Fergie, Will.I.Am, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5 and Rascal Flatts. It’s going to be a packed night if all of them perform. There’s something for every type of music fan out there.

The AMAs will air on Novemeber 18th from the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.

Here’s a remix of the latest single of rapper Fabolous titled “Make Me Better”.
