With the promotion blitz for Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am… underway, people are also buzzing about her new role as Etta James in the upcoming movie Cadillac Records. The lead song from the film Cadillac Records has leaked and now you can be the first to hear Beyoncé's rendition of the jazz classic "At Last."

Nearly two years after a fatal car accident, R&B singer Brandy says she barely got through the ordeal. “It was a tough situation to go through. I can’t really talk about it in any great detail because of legal matters but it was just something that I don’t like to think about often” the “Right Here (Departed)” singer told Ryan Seacrest Monday. “I prayed a lot and I had great people around me to help me up and lift my spirits and I got through it. I don’t even think that I’m all the way over it.” Getting in the studio to record “Human,” her forthcoming album, due in December, Brandy says certain songs were inspired or linked to the pain and emotional rollercoaster following the accident and subsequent legal issues. “Right Here (Departed)” ended up being a song that was specifically related to friends and family who stuck by her side. “A lot of people can related to that song because everyone needs someone to be there for them.”

Now this song will take you back to the memories of house parties/school dances with the BASS on BLAST and people doing the tootsie roll. My Boo was one of the most memorable song of the 90's... by the Ghost Town DJs (or Ghostown DJs). The Ghostown DJs are a former African-American hip-hop group who recorded the 1996 hit "My Boo". The song was influenced by the music scene in Miami, with a deep, throbbing bass line. They also wrote other hit songs like, "Shorty Swing My Way", "Let Me Love You Down", "At Night I Think Of You", and "My Boo Remix".

Beyonce Knowles Carter has made a personal donation of $100,000 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund benefiting victims of Hurricane Ike in the Greater Houston area who've lost homes, property, and jobs.
The Fund was established at the request of Houston Mayor Bill White to help fill human needs for victims located primarily in Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Harris and Montgomery counties.
The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund will provide aid to nonprofit organizations providing immediate relief in the area including shelter and temporary housing, food and household supplies, transportation and child care.
Beyonce is currently organizing a fundraising benefit for Hurricane Ike Relief through the Survivor Foundation with full details to be announced soon.
In the meantime, her not-for-profit organization Survivor Foundation - founded with her parents Tina and Mathew Knowles, sister Solange and former Destiny's Child band mate Kelly Rowland – helped a couple to get married after Ike caused two wedding facilities in the Houston area to go bankrupt. Nathan Rhodes and Ronda Lotter were among thousands of brides and grooms left without a place to exchange vows. The Survivor Foundation donated the House of Dereon Media Center for Rhonda and Nathan's wedding and reception. It was the first wedding ever held there.

The Sexiest Woman Alive, Halle Berry, lauched her new fragrance in New York. Halle by Halle Berry is due to be in stores by March 2009…
“We call Halle my second baby,” she said, “because that’s really all I’ve been working on for the past two years.” Throughout the process, the actress insisted on being involved in just about every aspect creating the fragrance, from doing scent tests to helping design the bottle itself — and made sure that the woody oriental included two of her most-loved notes. “I was mixing two fragrances, a fig and a mimosa, and putting them in a bottle and carrying them around,” she says. “That was my flavor of the moment.” And it’s a flavor she hopes men will appreciate as much as women. “I want women to feel that their partners, that special person, thinks they smell beautiful, thinks that it’s simple enough that they can ingest it all day, every day. That’s what Gabriel said,” she adds, of her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s take on her signature scent. “He said it smells like that — he better be right!”

Here’s the long awaited video for “If I Were a Boy,” the first of two singles off Beyoncé’s third album I Am… While some listeners will immediately think of Ciara’s similarly-titled Like A Boy because of the similarity in subject matter, the vibe and song makeup are both completely different. B definitely delivers! For most, after viewing the music video it made them like the song a bit more. Beyoncé’s third album drops November 18th. Watch the video below.
