Usher confirms Official Album Title and Release Date

Atlanta, GA – With his single, Love in this Club already on the rise and hitting Billboard's Top 100 at an all time high, the long anticipated album of one of R&B's top selling artists has finally set an official album title and confirmed a release date.

After the pretentious leak of his impulsive single, Love in this Club and many other tracks, fans have been wondering what the exact title of the album would be and when it would be scheduled to drop. Label reps told MTV News that the album title is set to be 'Here I Stand' and scheduled to be released sometime in June. The summer release has revolved around a time where anticipation is still on Usher's side and anything he so happens to drop, fans would pick up regardless. Along with the fans, apparently, mega producers and artists have also felt that same anticipation as some even fought to land a spot on this awaited album, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, Dre & Vidal, and including long heard of Lil Jon. Ludacris, Young Jeezy, and Nelly have also landed their own respectful spots on the album.

Honestly, did Love in this Club hit as hard as Yeah did on his previous album? In my opinion, not exactly, but don't get me wrong the song is a hit, but if you were to compare it with Yeah, Lil Jon murked the beat alongside Ludacris' killer verse. Hopefully all those track leaks won't hurt his album sales, but only time will tell.

Kelly Rowland Upgrades a Cup Size

New York, NY – If you've been noticing lately that the Texas native, Ms. Kelly Rowland, has looked more voluptuously than before in many of her recent photos, then, no, your eyes haven't been deceiving you. Apparently the former Destiny's Child vocalist has just recently undergone breast surgery and upgraded one cup size.

She reportedly told People Magazine that she underwent plastic surgery to up her from an A cup to a B cup. After a long thought process, she made the final decision that it was the right thing to do. Rowland stated that she was tired of not being able to fill those tops she was enticed to wear.

This was the statement she released to People magazine on her decision to up one cup size:

"I didn't want to have double Ds and be a little bitty size 2 that would look nuts. I was sick of not fitting into my tops; there was this one really hot House of Dereon top, I just wanted to fill that out. It is a decision I made for myself. I like it, and that's all that counts. For young people: Think about it before you just jump off and do something you may regret later."

After a period of hesitation, she finally decided she needed to discuss the surgery with the general public. This issue of People Magazine will be released on March 17.

Now if those rumors about Kelly interested in posing for Playboy Magazine are true, now I see why. If she is proud of her body, I don't see any reason why she shouldn't flaunt it. I would definitely cop that issue without any hesitation and that's trill.
