FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS


Happy Birthday to R&B singer Aaliyah. A star in the R&B world before she was even out of her teens, who would have been just 30 years young today but Aaliyah's promising career was tragically cut short by her death in a plane crash at age 22. Even with only three albums under her belt, she'd already earned a place as a talented trendsetter among the R&B elite. Gone, but not forgotten.... Happy Birthday baby gyrl. You are truly missed. ~ Love E3 Gossip!




BLAST TO THE PAST

Here we go again... It's Flashback Friday and that means it time for an ol' skool video. So, today E3 is taking you back to 1991. The days when BET was actually pleasant to watch and had good shows like Video Soul, when R&B was at its best. Who could forget those days? That's when men started to sport earrings, people rocked starter athlectic jackets that beared your favorite team's logo, those gold chains called "dope-ropes," and the guys had those crazy fresh fades like the gumby hair cut and the flat top. I can clearly remember trying to stay up late to sneak and watch the Arsenio Hall Show. So, if you are old enough to remember most of that, then you probably will remember this Flashback Friday artist, R&B singer Tony Terry. Terry's biggest hit to date was 'With You,' which reached #6 on the R&B charts and #14 on the Hot 100. Watch the video below and check out the cameo of Blair Underwood.



NOW SEE THIS: CHRISTINIA MILIAN

NE-YO GONE MAD & SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Ne-Yo has gone 'Mad' like his new single. Taking to his Myspace page Friday, Ne-Yo slammed the media and any haters for taking his words out of context.Going as far as calling his 'light skinned babies' comment a joke, Ne-Yo wrote "Pardon my french, but what the F**k is wrong with y'all. Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me ?" "The comment about light skinned babies ... an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke. Y'all really took that serious !" Moving along to the next topic, because there are so many things that have been said, Ne-Yo addressed this week's gossip... his feature in PEOPLE that quotes him talking about being able to see Young Jeezy from his balcony: "I tell PEOPLE magazine that Young Jeezy’s crib is right next to mine and that once I saw him in there from across the way. I then make a JOKE about him maybe not wanting to walk around naked in his crib with the shades up cause the buildings are THAT close to each other, and that AIN’T something I care to see. Suddenly, everybody thinks I said I saw Young Jeezy in his crib naked when, NEVER ONCE did I say anything like that." In case any of that is lost, Ne-Yo makes, like Usher, a stand and says: "I’m NOT gay, I’m NOT prejudice to anyone, I DID NOT get stomped out by Jim Jones or anyone else, I’m NOT engaged, I’M NOT STUPID. And to anyone that INSISTS on thinking that any of these things are true…… F*CK YOU. To the haters….find some new material please!!! It’s 2009, our president is black!!! Time for change. To everyone else…… I love you to death, thanx for all your support. WE PLATINUM ROUND HERE!!!!!"


By the way, Ne-Yo's video for "Mad" is out, feel free to watch it below.

E3 FIRST LOOK ~ CHRISTINA MILIAN

Here's a first look at Christina Milian's new video for her song, "Us Against the World." The video ballad – which is the R&B singer-songwriter's first single off her upcoming album, Dream in Color, due in April – will premiere on MySpace on Tuesday, Jan. 13. Christina breaks breaks it down via MTV: “I’m in sand dunes,” she explained. “And, I’m out there … me and my guy, [and] we probably are the last two people on Earth. Really, I’m on my own and I’m searching, and finally he comes to me. I don’t know where he’s been, and he comes back to me. It’s very timeless. When you see it, it’s nothing like anything you’d see now. I want to be iconic in every music video that I do. I want to make a mark. This is very different.”
