Here is the studio version of Etta James’ wedding classic “At Last” from the upcoming Cadillac Records Soundtrack. Of course she gives a flawless vocal performance, I’m glad she kept strict to the original and didn’t overpower it with Sasha. Etta’s version is just so beautiful, it deserves to remain simple. The movie will be released December 5th, but a video for the track with clips of the movie is set to premiere in the coming weeks.
Beyonce recent revealed to press that she gained about 15-20 lbs to play the role of Etta James.
Plus check out flicks of Bey-Z out on a date, partying at 1 OAK Nightclub in the Chelsea district at a cocktail party celebrating Diddy’s cover of the “Black on Black” cover of L’Uomo Vogue’s October 2008 Music Issue, before heading out for dinner and drinks!
I’m looking forward to Theater of the Mind…

This is one treacherous mug shot! Yikes.
Whoa Chester! That’s Lyfe Jenning’s government name. He was arrested Sunday after being chased by police for shooting a gun in the air and then fleeing.
AJC reports that it all started when he bust down the door looking for his wife/manager Joy Pound and two sons in Smyrna, Ga.
He posted a $50,000 bond Monday night. Jennings could not be reached for comment. In addition to the gun charges and trespassing, he has been charged with eluding police and driving under the influence.Jennings served 10 years in prison from 1992-2002 on a felony charge when he was 14.
Smyrna police chased Jennings after receiving a call about a gunshot fired. Police followed Jennings in his red Corvette along Concord Road, where he was going about 70 mph according to the warrant.
Once he was stopped, Jennings refused a field sobriety test. The warrant said he “had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” coming from his breath.

The ongoing soap opera that is Usher and Tameka Foster his aired a new episode. After pictures of Usher and a mysterious woman surfaced and Tameka arriving at Tyler Perry’s Studio Opening solo and pregnant, the rumors of separations seem more like reality.
Scoop nabber Jawn Murray laid out more juicy details about their all but confirmed separation…
…on Oct. 1, I got a call from a woman whose name for now I will withhold claiming to be a “friend” of the Raymonds and “concerned because Usher was having an extramarital affair.”After a bunch of hemming and hawing about how she “didn’t want her name mentioned” and how she was “only calling me to do the right thing,” this alleged “friend” of the couple went on to accuse a fellow R&B/Pop singer of being Usher’s mistress.
After checking out this alleged extramarital affair I realized that the dates in question were improbable because Usher and the alleged mistress were in two separate countries for two and a half months of this alleged affair.
Further research allowed me to discover that days after my call from the “friend” of the Raymonds – this being the same weekend as the opening of Tyler Perry’s studio in Atlanta to be specific – the singer in question and several of her associates got a call from Foster-Raymond tipping them off Usher & Tameka’s wedding photothat this story was bubbling under and that “someone had warned her about it.”
Upset, confused and completely blindsided, said singer then phoned Usher, who was both shocked and outraged by the whole ordeal.
Sources close to the situation tell me that this caused him to reach his breaking point and he made it clear that he believed his wife was behind the entire thing.
READ MORE OF THE LONG DRAWN OUT STORY! Lots of “oh really?” moments! Jawn usually keeps it real and true, so the I believe what he wrote is good as true… We all knew the “hook by crook” chick was no good from day one however his personal life has always been a part of his marketing plan for his album. This time it’s not really working because his album sales are pretty poo!

News broke today that Lil Wayne is a new daddy of a baby boy…
Word on the curb is that the young lady is neither Nivea or his ex-wife, but a 22-year old student from the University of Cincinnati named “Sarah B.” Apparently she met him 3 years ago and have been off and on since. Report from Christ Hospital in Cincinnati say Weezy was in the delivery room waiting for the new arrival. I also hear that despite publicly announcing the arrival of his new son at the BET Awards this weekend, he has requested a DNA test. Understood.
To add to the growing buzz surrounding this story, word is that he and Nivea are very much engaged and living together in the ATL.
All hear say at this point though!
Update: According to Miss Info, she got the following info from a “celebrity drama insider.”
“Sarah B—-w is her name…my ex use to sleep with her too so that’s how I found out.He wouldn’t really get into it ‘cuz he only told me that to basically be like “why would I be f—in’ her while she is pregnant by anotha n—a?”
She has “Mrs. Carter” tattooed on her chest. She deleted her myspace but it did say she wuz in a relationship and dat she is pregnant with a boy and is due this month…[she] even had pregnant photos up. So I don’t know, I’m believing it….She’s Vietnamese and white. Oh and she’s a lil girl. She just turned 21 in August and this is goin to be her 2nd child.”
My girl Stylerazzi has sources that say she went to Lakota West High School in West Chester, Ohio.
UPDATE PART DEAUX: Miss Info has the flicks of the chick… There are others pictures floating around of a more stripper-esque chick.
Pure “Grade A” Shits & Giggles!
New music from J. Holiday! …and it’s about getting high, er or higher! No surprise but baby boy can sing about curtains and microwaves for me. I can see this is a mixtape joint or even maybe a album track. Not a single, though. Love the 70s funk sample as well.
Great tidbits about him…
Random thought: I need to know why Musiq is anti-spaces in titles? Should have asked him that…
