{blackbabes} Michael Jackson album guests Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige

Jurassic Park / The Lost World: Jurassic Park / Work From Home

Justin Timberlake, Questlove, D’Angelo and Mary J. Blige all guest-star on the new Michael Jackson album, “Xscape,” according to Aaron Reid, who did A&R on the posthumous project.

The album, pieced together with unused music from various recording sessions, will be released May 13. The first single, “Love Never Felt So Good,” drops Thursday.

As for where the songs came from, “Michael Jackson didn’t trust anyone with his music. He stopped finishing songs,” said Aaron, “He had a whole bunch of material stored away. He had hooks. He had verses. Then we put it together.”

Aaron is the 24-year-old son of Epic Records mogul L.A. Reid and R&B singer/music manager Perri “Pebbles” Reid (who, as I reported last week, has filed suit against Viacom over the “defamatory” portrayal of her in a 2013 VH1 movie about girl group TLC, who she once represented). For the Jackson album, he worked closely with his father and executive producer Timbaland, and hired StarGate,

Jerome “Jroc” Harmon and Rodney Jerkins to produce the eight songs. Guitarist Jesse Johnson, best known as a member of the Time, plays on the album.

Critics say Jackson, who died nearly five years ago, didn’t finish the songs because he didn’t think they were good enough. They say the lawyers running Jackson’s estate are just trying to cash in
on his enduring fans.

But Aaron said making the album was “an amazing process. Michael Jackson is my favorite artist of all time. With this project, I got to carry on his legacy and even to contribute to it. There’s nothing like it.”

{blackbabes} Zoe Saldana: Being an actor is powerless

Jurassic Park / The Lost World: Jurassic Park / Work From Home

Zoe Saldana wants to spend more time behind the camera.

Sometimes being an actor is a very powerless position to be in, especially if you’re a woman, especially if you’re a woman of color,” she told us while at Tarallucci e Vino to celebrate her AOL show “My Hero,” which she executive produces.

“[Acting] is basically stand there, look pretty, say your lines, go home. You’re not there from the moment someone says, ‘I have an idea,’ and you fight for it and bleed for it.”

{blackbabes} Christina Milian Talks Wedding Details

Jurassic Park / The Lost World: Jurassic Park / Work From Home

 

Bride-to-be Christina Milian is still enjoying the daydreaming phase of planning her wedding, and her fiancé is getting anxious.

Milian, 32, says she hasn't set a date yet, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, music exec Jas Prince.

"He's bugging me every day like, 'What are we going to do? What's the date?' And I'm like, 'I don't know! We'll figure it out,' " the singer tells PEOPLE.

"All I've been doing is cutting pictures out and taking pictures off Pinterest, but it just takes so much time [to plan a wedding]," she says while promoting her partnership with Kimberly-Clark to celebrate the Family UNity program. "I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do, and on top of that I just don't want to be stressed out."

Although she's not sure exactly when she's getting married, Milian's already looking forward to the reception.

"Our party's going to be the fun part," she says. "The cake has to be perfect, and so does the DJ. He's got to play some salsa music and merengue, modern music, a little hip-hop. But then my guy's from the countryside, so he listens to country, so I'm sure we'll be doing some line dancing!"

As for the décor, Milian has some ideas about the floral arrangements she wants.

"I'm finding different colors and types of roses," she says. "I really like the pinks and the violet purples – that makes a lot of sense because of [daughter] Violet – and ivories. I want it to be warm."

Though she hasn't been trying on dresses, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant says she has been doing her fair share of window-shopping.

"I haven't picked a style yet, but I have seen some nice, lacy long-sleeved ones that I was surprised that I liked!"

And just because it's her second wedding – the singer was married to rapper-producer The-Dream from 2009 to 2010 – don't expect it to be any small affair.

"This time around, it will be big for sure," says Milian."I've done it before, and it was fun and it was quick, but for the type of wedding I know that we're going to do, and that we want to do, it takes some time."

{blackbabes} Could Rihanna's NSFW Naked Photos Get Her Banned From Instagram? See Her Clever Response to Haters!

The Godfather Part II: The Coppola Restoration / Work From Home

Lui

Rihanna's latest magazine cover was easily her most scandalous yet.

The singer posed completely topless for Lui magazine and showed off even more skin (and revealing poses) in the rest of the photo shoot.

In an effort to promote her latest pics, RiRi posted several snapshots of the Mario Sorrenti shoot on Instagram.

But the photo sharing site wasn't keen on her nudie images, and promptly removed them based on their censorship rules.

So is the "Pour It Up" singer at risk for losing her Instagram account? Well, not so fast.

A source tells E! News that her social media page is not in jeopardy despite the recent activity.

RiRi was alerted that Instagram took down her nipple-baring images, but it's going to take several more warnings for the company to deactivate her account entirely. Phew!

Instagram

The outspoken songstress found a cheeky way to respond to the backlash however.

First, she posted a doctored photo of her looking extra conservative with the words "Rih's next magazine cover if it was up to Instagram." Snap!

Then, she asked fans to send in their best drawings of the Lui photo shoot—because art can't be taken down, right?! Right.

So far she's posted several sketches from her navy and has tagged them all as "phan art" using the hashtag "iheartrihanna."

And RiRi found yet another loophole in the nude pic controversy, she posted the shoot in its entirety on her Twitter page.

Take that, Instagram!

{blackbabes} 'America's Next Top Model' Eva Marcille to Baby Daddy -- You're a Menace ... Stay Away from Our Kid

The Godfather Part II: The Coppola Restoration / Work From Home

http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/30/americas-next-top-model-eva-marcille-kevin-mccall-restraining-order/

"America's Next Top Model" star Eva Marcille (ex-Tyra, The Young & The Restless) has upped the ante in her restraining order battle against her baby daddy -- she's now wrangled full custody of their baby daughter... at least for now. 

TMZ broke the story ... Eva obtained a restraining order against ex-BF Kevin McCall last month after he allegedly went on a rampage in their home, kicking down doors and trying to snatch their daughter from Eva's arms.

The restraining order barred Kevin from coming within 100 yards of them, but now Eva has been given full custody of their daughter ... and Kevin has been denied ANY visitation ... at least until a hearing next month.

Eva's rep tells us, "It is unfortunate that life has thrown a curve Into Eva's life but as a responsible parent and adult she's taking steps to ensure the safety and well-being of their child and herself."

Calls to Kevin weren't returned.

{blackbabes} Beyoncé Sends Flowers, Handwritten Note to Grieving Family of Late Fan; Shares Inspirational Poem on Instagram

Get Paid To Work From Home

 

Grab the tissues, folks.

Beyoncé paid tribute to one of her biggest fans, a teen who lost her battle to cancer last week, by sending a bouquet of 90 white roses and handwritten note to the little girl's grieving family.

Chelsea Lee James, who was memorably brought on stage during Bey's concert back in 2009, passed away at the age of 15 on April 21 after a 10-year battle with the disease.

"Donna, love and prayers to you and your family. Chelsea was a beautiful girl and I am so happy I was able to meet her," the card read. "She touched my heart and I will never forget her."

 

http://ca.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2014329/rs_634x849-140429155242-634.chelsea-lee-james-flowers-beyonce-042914.jpg

Bey serenaded James in front of more than 20,000 fans during her 2009 concert in Sydney, dedicating her song "Halo" to the young teen from Newcastle.

"Chelsea I can see your halo, I pray it won't fade away," Bey sang as tears filled Chelsea's eyes.

The two then reunited backstage at Bey's Mrs. Carter Show in November after the children's cancer charity Camp Quality organized a meeting.

And of course, Jay Z's missus didn't forget to give a shout out to her biggest fan during the show, dedicating her song "Survivor" to James while shouting "Yeah, Chelsea" from the stage.

It's been a busy and seemingly emotional week for Blue Ivy's mama, who also posted a handwritten poem on Instagram, which may speak volumes about her latest single.

The poem, which is titled "The Invitation" and was penned by Oriah Mountain Dreamer was written out on sheets of white paper by Bey, who clearly emphasized specific words.

She capitalized and underlined the world "pretty" which could be a reference to the behind-the-scenes "Pretty Hurts" music video in which she opens up about the pressure to be perfect in our image-obsessed society.

"Pretty Hurts" is a song that "represents finding that one thing in the world that makes you truly happy," Bey says in the clip.

{blackbabes} Surprise! Rihanna Actually Looks Classy and Chic

Get Paid To Work From Home

 

We're not saying Rihanna never looks classy or chic, but it's not her go-to look. Edgy, unique, and see-through are the two words we'd use to better describe this fashion bad girl's style.

And yet today, she's dressed for a spring time brunch with girlfriends in Manhattan. Given the cropped top, they're probably headed downtown versus the Upper East Side, but this is the "Stay" singer we're talking about. She could be in a dress covered in marijuana leaves, again!

From our view, two elements make this bright teal suit a standout:

1. That color! It's like robin's egg meets the crystal waters of the Bahamas, and it pops perfectly against the skin of Drake's main squeeze.

2. The scalloped detailing! That slight rounded edge on the bottom of the shirt takes this from totally sexy to sweet.

Of course delicate white sandals and flowing locks aren't hurting the final product. Here's hoping this is the summer of Rihanna's Style 180! Or at the very least, the month.

{blackbabes} Rihanna Bares Her Boobs (and Nipple Rings) in Topless Photo Shoot; Miranda Kerr Flaunts Crazy Cleavage in Taiwanese Vogue

Get Paid To Work From Home

 

From braless to topless.

Rihanna bares all in the latest issue of LUI magazine, putting her breasts (and nipple rings!) on full display as she sunbathes in a pair of pink bikini bottoms while looking sexy as ever.

Wearing nothing but a bucket hat, a gold belly chain, and itty-bitty bottoms, a tanned and toned RiRi sizzles on the cover, as she joins the likes of Kate Moss, who appeared nude on the same mag in March.

Inside the issue, badgalriri heats things up even more, appearing fully nude and flaunting her bangin' bod which is complemented by a series of distinct tan lines.

And in case it still isn't obvious why Drake called the singer the "ultimate fantasy," there's even one pic of the singer lounging by the pool in which she's only wearing a pair of bright teal pumps in addition to oversize sunglasses while showing off her famous booty.

However, it seems that not everyone is a fan of the "Pour It Up" singer's racy cover, as Rihanna took to Instagram to address the haters with a mock cover, captioning the image with a sad face. 

 

Luckily, the hitmaker is in good company as she's not the only one baring her boobs as of late.

 

Miranda Kerr is also flaunting her famous cleavage on the cover of Taiwanese Vogue's May issue, looking stunning in a red and white printed paisley bustier.

The model mama shows off her toned tummy and sizzles in a matching blazer and shorts, adding a bright red lips to complete the look.

Talk about a super-hot Tuesday!

{blackbabes} Rita Ora Denies Ever Dating Nick Jonas, but Claims He Had a Crush on Her

Get Paid To Work From Home

 

Rita Ora insists she never dated Nick Jonas, despite the fact that the guy once wrote a song in which he seemed to negatively namecheck a woman named, yep, Rita.

Sure enough, Nick and that now-infamous tune came up during the British pop star's appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live earlier this week.

"I have heard the song and I have heard that rumor and I really don't know where it came from," Rita told host Andy Cohen. [I] never [dated him]. I actually met Nick through a friend and it was a very weird situation...because we were close, but it never went to that level and then I read the lyric and I kind of messaged him and was like, 'I have no idea where this came from. If you want to talk about it, call me.'"

The track in question, which Nick wrote for the Jonas Brothers, was titled "What Do I Mean to You," and included the lyrics, "No need for water, Rita/You got the wine/Searching for diamonds/When I gave you the time."

According to Rita, Nick did get back to her.

"He was like, 'You know what, I just obviously didn't put out how I felt across to you properly.' And it was one of those situations ... Regardless, we're still friends and I still have a lot of respect for him."
