03/14/07 - For The Record: Quick News On R. Kelly, Kanye West, LL Cool J & More

J-Banks · 03-14-2007, 09:44 AM

Kelly talks West collabo in bizarre message; Lohan's father released from prison; Underwood to perform on 'SNL.'

R. Kelly is hooking up with Kanye West for his next album, the Chicago singer revealed in a bizarre six-minute phone message accessible by calling (312)278-3965 (that's a Chicago area code, by the way). Perhaps taking a tip from the Arcade Fire — who debuted a new song via a mysterious toll-free phone number earlier this year — the singer plays snippets from and spills more details about his next effort, which, according to the message, will be called Double Up. In the rambling message, Kelly also previews "Blow It Up" (featuring Young Jeezy and Young Dro), "Rock Star" (featuring Ludacris), "Freakin' in the Clubs" and "Hook It Up" (featuring Kanye West). ...

Lindsay Lohan's estranged father, who she sung openly about in her single "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)," was released from a New York prison Tuesday (March 13), CBS reports. Michael Lohan was incarcerated in June 2005 after surviving a car crash for which he was charged with driving under the influence.

Carrie Underwood is returning to live TV later this month as the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live." Underwood will perform on the March 24 episode, hosted by Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning, while Snow Patrol will play on Saturday's show, hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. ...

Exit stage left for LL Cool J? The longtime *** Jam rapper appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Monday night and confirmed his upcoming 50 Cent-helmed project, Exit 13, will be his last for the storied hip-hop label. "It's my last record on *** Jam, it's my 13th album, and I'm leaving," he told Kimmel. "My contract is up and it's time to move on." Previously the rapper hinted at his desire to ***ect due to Jay-Z's conflict of being both a *** Jam artist and the label's president, saying, "How am I gonna re-sign with the competition?" When pressed by Kimmel if his departure was indeed due to differences with Jay-Z, LL responded: "I wouldn't go that far with it," he said. "But for the most part ... I'm gone."

Diana Ross will work with the final 12 contestants on "American Idol" on Tuesday (March 13) for a performance episode spotlighting music from Ross and the Supremes. Ross will perform on Wednesday night's results show. ... Nelly Furtado has picked "All Good Things (Come to an End)," which she co-wrote with Coldplay's Chris Martin, as the fourth U.S. single from Loose. ... Nine Inch Nails were forced to cancel a concert in England this week after frontman Trent Reznor lost his voice. The band was supposed to perform in Birmingham on Monday night but pulled out of the show when Reznor's voice failed to recover in time for him to perform. The gig has been postponed to August 30. ...

Snoop Dogg was detained in Stockholm, Sweden, early Monday (March 12) — following a Sunday night performance with Diddy at the Globe Arena — when police pulled over the car he was riding in and determined that Snoop and a female companion showed signs of drug use. The Associated Press reports that authorities also found a small amount of narcotics in the car but said it was unclear whether the drugs belonged to the rapper. Drug tests were administered and Snoop Dogg was questioned before he was released Monday morning. Results are due in two to three weeks, according to a Swedish police spokesperson, and Snoop could face a fine if the test shows that he was using illegal drugs. A spokesperson for Snoop confirmed the rapper was not charged and will continue with his tour dates. ...

Mary J. Blige and Jamie Foxx took home the top awards Saturday at the 21st annual Soul Train Music Awards, with Foxx bagging best male album for Unpredictable and Blige winning best female album for The Breakthrough. (Click here to check out pictures from the show's red carpet.) Other winners included Jay-Z (Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video for "Show Me What You Got"), John Legend (best male single, "Save Room"), Beyoncé (best female single, "Irreplaceable"), Gnarls Barkley (best single by a group/duo for "Crazy"), Jennifer Hudson (Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year), Ne-Yo (Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist for "Sexy Love"), Webstar & Young B (Best R&B/Soul or Rap Dance Cut for "Chicken Noodle Soup") and Babyface (Career Achievement in Songwriting). The show will air in syndication between March 17-25. ...

More than two months after his death, soul icon James Brown's body is finally laid to rest ... for now. Following a family ceremony on Saturday, Brown's body was placed in a crypt at the Beech Island, South Carolina, home of one of his daughters, though it will likely be moved once a public mausoleum is completed, according to AP. ... The MTV Europe Music Awards will be held November 1 at Munich's OlympiaHalle, MTV Networks International announced Monday. ...

Sub Pop is offering a $5,750 college scholarship to a Washington or Oregon resident who is involved and/or interest in music or the creative arts. The record label requests that interested applicants submit a one-page essay to scholarship@subpop.com. More info is available on the label's Web site. ... The Pitchfork Music Festival is expanding to three days this year (July 13-15) with an initial lineup that will bring the Clipse, Cat Power, Of Montreal, Iron and Wine, Girl Talk, Grizzly Bear and Jamie Lidell to Union Park in Chicago. Opening night will feature the North American premiere of All Tomorrow's Parties' "Don't Look Back" series, in which acts are invited to perform one of their most important albums in their entirety. More artists are slated to be announced soon.
