Ooh! Did that just Pop?! (Week in Review)

I'm constantly looking for juicy news when it comes to pop culture & I'm always happy to share. It could be that I'm just nosy as hell too! Either way the juicy stuff just keeps on coming. This past week did not disappoint at all!

The Michael Jackson's estate has dealt with so much since the death of our king in June 2009. Besides the current trial with Dr. Conrad Murray, there was a new lawsuit brought against the estate just yesterday. A lady claims that Michael Jackson gave her herpes in 1979 & is suing for $10 million! What?! This chick has lost her damn mind! Shellie Smith claims that the two had sex in 1979 & soon after she had sores on her body from the sexual transmitted disease. Give me break, why did she not say anything until now? I'm pretty sure her suit will be laughed at & thrown out. I'll keep you posted on this one.

R&B songtress Faith Evans is filing for divorce from her husband of 13 years. The singer has filed, stating they have been seperated since 2005. The singer has asked the courts of joint legal custody & to withdraw the option of spousal support. That would be tricky, given the fact that she filed in Los Angeles. I feel bad for the children involved because divorce is not easy on anyone. Good to hear that the couple do get along, they just don't want to be together. Good for them.

Charlie's Angels is coming back this fall & they have a new trio with a sexy black angel as well. Say what?!
Yes, 27 year old Nigeria-American actress Annie Ilonzeh will be joining the cast this fall as they embark on their sexy ass-kicking journey working for Charlie. I'm excited to see this show, some people were quick to shoot it down but I think it will deliver if they stay away from the corny story lines.

Beyonce premiered her new video for "Run the World-Girls" video this past week. The video has received over 5 million hits in less than 48 hours. That's my girl! People were quick to comment on how they didn't like the song & the video but they still went & viewed it! I'll fight somebody to the dirt for Beyonce. I like the song but I'm anxious to hear the album as a whole when it comes out on June 28th. Haters, sit down. Beyonce will be honored at this year's Billboard awards with First Lady Michelle Obama & Lady Gaga presenting her the award. Congrats B!

Remember JaRule? How can anyone forget? Well he has been in hiding for a while since that infamous beef with 50 cent a few years ago. The rapper has been out & about this year, promising a comeback(he is going to need Ashanti for that one!). The rapper has been doing small concerts & appearances this year under the radar. JaRule has a new album coming out June 8th named "Pain is Love 2", the day before he goes to prison. Yup! JaRule is going to prison in June to serve a two-year sentence (ouch!). The rapper was charged weapons charges following a 2007 incident. JaRule plans a new callabo with Ashanti & a world tour when he is released. Well, see ya in 2013 JaRule. What a shame.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Alica Key's "Songs in A Minor" album. Damn, I feel old. Alicia will be releasing a special edition of the album. That was probably my favorite album of Ms. Keys. I was only a sophmore in High School & was hooked. I played that cd out, along with my lil' sis Tiara!

In 2001, there was also Ashanti's debut album, Jennifer Lopez's "J.Lo" album & my girls Destiny's Child's "Survivor" album. Damn, time flies by. I used to listen to Destiny Child's "Survivor" album before every track meet!
