T.I. On Cover Of "Giant" Magazine (Oct./Nov. 08')

Melody From Pussycat Dolls Singing "Hurt"

Wow, she's killing it. I never knew she could sing like that; I mean, how would I know? Nicole has always been on the forefront in all the songs, videos and pictures. Melody is lucky if she gets an adlib or two. I say they push Nicole to the background and let Melody run shit from now on.

'Gossip' Boys On Cover Of "Details" Magazine (November 08')

OMFG! IT'S THE GOSSIP BOYS!
Penn Badgley (the good boy), Chace Crawford (the cougar bait), and Ed Westwick (the arrogant rake) are ubiquitous on the Web and in the tabloids, and every hot young woman in America wants a piece of them. Maybe their preppy soap opera, Gossip Girl, will propel one or all of them to superstardom. Or maybe not.

Pics From Ciara's New Video

She looks... weird. I'm not feeling her new single, Go Girl. I don't know, I guess I'll have to wait and see the final product before I critique it. I see someone's been talking to Rihanna's stylist.

NY Daily News: "Beyonce's Album Not Ready?"

Will Beyoncé make her deadline today?

The singer's new album was due at her label Wednesday morning in order to make an announced Nov. 18 release date, but insiders tell us there have been problems.

"It's not going to be completed," said a source close to folks who've been working on the CD. "She's got to get it out early in the fourth quarter, when there's so much competition among artists."

Part of the delay may be due to Beyoncé's busy-than-ever acting schedule. The beauty spent months filming "Cadillac Records," in which she plays Etta James, and she's also working on the psychological thriller "Obsessed."

Another time-consumer was a duet with Justin Timberlake - the source says the two didn't like the way it was turning out and kept doing it over until they got it right.

Plus, claims our insider, "She clashes with Max Gousse, her father's guy who's involved."

Beyoncé's dad, Matthew Knowles, asked us, rhetorically, "How would he not be involved? He's the vice president of my company, and she's recording with my company."

And Gousse is the man who convinced her to record Ne-Yo's "Irreplaceable" - which became her biggest hit to date.

Still, the source counters, "Jay-Z encouraged Beyoncé to bring in Jay Brown and Ty Ty [Tyran Smith]" - both of whom have worked with red-hot singer Rihanna.

Beyoncé will release two singles, "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies," this Tuesday.

The chief of Sony BMG Music, Rob Stringer, got on the phone last week to tell us, "She has an enormous number of very talented people doing whatever they can to make it the best record possible.

"Normally I would lie low, but we think the first two singles will be utterly huge. They're two of the best songs of her career. Beyoncé is incredibly hardworking, and [the album] is 97%-98% done. It'll be out before Nov. 20. Frankly, we think the whole record is going to be huge." [x]

I swear, the way they're hyping up this album, I'm expecting some classic Beyonce material. This is the first time Mrs. Carter has spent more than a month recording an album. This is supposed to be her most personal album to date. Her new singles will be released next week and I have no doubt that her album will be released before the year ends. Who's excited?

'Robin' Getting His Own CW Show

The CW is developing a series based on Batman sidekick Robin's pre-Caped Crusader days, reports Variety.

"Smallville" executive producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, as well as "Supernatural" executive producer McG, are behind "The Graysons," which has landed a put pilot commitment at the network.

Just as "Smallville" focuses on Clark Kent in the years before he became Superman, "The Graysons" will follow the world of Dick "DJ" Grayson before he takes on the iconic Robin identity and aligns himself with Batman.

"The Graysons" is seen as a potential replacement for "Smallville" should that show end its run this season, which has been speculated. Should "Smallville" return next year, "The Graysons" might also make a strong companion piece.

In the one-hour "Graysons," which will be set in modern times, young DJ will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up. Souders and Peterson have come up with an original take on the character. [x]

I'm not really a fan of Smallville (Tom Welling is hot though), but I'm definitely interested in this Robin based series. I love Batman in all it's incarnations and ever since Birds Of Prey got canceled, I've been waiting for a Batman related series. Hopefully this turns out well.
