R. Kelly's Upcoming Black Panties Will Be 'The New 12 Play

Kellz talks throat surgery, getting nasty again and Trey Songz's dis in new radio interview. R. Kelly  is ready to put the "R" back in R&B. After undergoing throat surgery in July, Kelly stopped by 107.5 WGCI's Tuesday Morning Riot radio show in Chicago for a rare interview in which he dropped the title for his next album, Black Panties, and talked about the shots Trey Songz has fired in his direction.

"It was really scary," Kellz said of his surgery. "At the end of the Love Letter Tour, towards the end, I started feeling it. I thought I had a cold, but, man, I had like a cyst as big as a golf ball on my tonsils. The doctor's though, they cut it out, they took care of me really good." While he is known for super sex anthems like "Your Body's Callin'," "Ignition" and "Half on a Baby," R. Kelly took a gentleman's approach on his 2010 album Love Letter. But don't put him in a box. For his upcoming 11th solo LP, the Pied Piper is going to get nasty once again.

Kellz didn't reveal much more about the new album, but did say that the first single, titled "10 Minutes" would be coming soon. At his peak, Kelly was untouchable when it came to male R&B singers. But after his infamous 2008 child pornography case (in which he was found not guilty) and a few less-than-stellar albums, he wasn't as flawless as he had been in the 1990s and early 2000s. New artists like Chris Brown and Trey Songz emerged as R&B's leading men. Despite working together on Trey's second album (R. Kelly produced "Grub On" on Trey's 2007 Trey Day), the "Say Ahh" singer has been throwing shots at the R on songs and in interviews, criticizing Kelly for hopping on current trends like using Auto-Tune instead of standing as an innovator.

Kellz shrugs it all off. "I was pretty numb. I don't feel those types of things. It's like I'm bulletproof when it comes to beef. I don't deal with beef, I love steak," he said about Trey's shots, before paying his rival a compliment, sort of. "I know Trey Songz is a guy that if he keeps with the hits and he humbles himself a little bit more, he will definitely be one of the runners up."

Lady Gaga named catwalk Queen

 Pop star Lady Gaga has seen off competition from Kate Moss and Beyonce to be crowned queen of the celebrity catwalk. The 25-year-old Poker Face hitmaker topped a survey to coincide with London Fashion Week for her bizarre range of stage outfits in a poll conducted by clothing brand Hot Tuna, reported Contactmusic.

Stylish supermodel Kate Moss came second in the poll, and newlywed royal Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, was in third. The top five was rounded out by Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow, but singer-turned-fashionista Victoria Beckham was placed bottom of the list, behind Rihanna and model/actress Kelly Brook.

Prince Harry topped the men's list, with soccer ace David Beckham and Kasabian rocker Serge Pizzorno in second and third respectively.

"Although clothes don't feature much in Lady Gaga's wardrobe, we're not surprised she came out top. And Prince Harry has proved he's fashion royalty over the past few months, although we're not sure his sister-in-law will be too impressed that he ranked above her," a representative of the clothing brand said.

Uche Jombo Denies Abortion Rumour

Uche Jombo seems really vexed about this abortion rumour which stemmed from a Soft-sell magazine. In discussing the issue she said;”You know how emotional I am. I have cried for smaller things but this one, I still curse the person, till tomorrow. It will only take God for me to see the person and not harm him,” she fumed,”For me, that was my biggest scandal ever. It was really damaging and I won’t stop fighting till I get justice.

Well, I’m currently in court with the soft-sell magazine, for writing what I have come to consider the worst media story in my entire life and career, which was completely false and malicious. During the world premiere of my second movie last year, Holding Hope, I lost so much weight deliberately based on my character as a Cancer patient only for this paper to write on their front page that I aborted a pregnancy at six months, hence the lost of weight.

It’s still all over the net, just Google Uche Jombo abortion, you’ll see over 500 pages…That story nearly shattered my life, my family legacy and all that I have laboured for in my entire career, in fact, it almost killed me … When you say someone aborted a six-month-old pregnancy, you are not just saying it’s an abortion, you are equally saying that person is a murderer because, six months, a baby is already formed and I don’t know where anyone gets off thinking you can lose weight by having abortion.”

STAR ACTRESS: Dakore Akande Egbuson Inches close to Delivery

Little or nothing has been heard about out-of-sight Nollywood actress Dakore Akande (nee Egbuson) since the news of her pregnancy broke out in April this year. Anonymous source revealed her pregnancy is now at an advanced stage and she has relocated to her hubby’s base in Chicago, United States for top class attention.

“The couple is excitedly waiting for the arrival of the bundle of joy, while the grandfather-to-be, business mogul and politician, Chief Harry Akande has penciled down a private jet to convey him out of the country as soon as the baby arrives,” the source said.

Since her wedding to Olumide, in January this year, Dakore has not featured in any movie. It was said to be one of the conditions her father-in-law gave her before marrying his only child that she quit the profession that brought her fame, money, and respect.
