Jordin Sparks Speaks About Whitney Houston & New Movie: Sparkle!

The American Idol winner from 2007 and singer of London clubs anthems is preparing herself for a busy summer as her movie promotion schedule gets rather hectic.

Jordin stars alongside the recently deceased Whitney Houston who is honored on a regular basis at London R&B clubs, speaking about the opportunity to work with the late icon she said: “As a singer, Whitney is through the atmosphere. She is somebody that you just aspire to want to sing like. I knew that she was executive producing, so I knew that she was going to be involved in the project and that I would see her around. When I heard that she was going to be playing my mom, I just thought “Could this get any better?!” It’s been so exciting. She’s such a riot and so fun to be around. We’ve done a lot of scenes together and she is so funny. She is going to make a lot of people happy. She has millions upon millions of fans who are going to be happy to see who she is in this movie, as well as the people who doubt that she’ll be able to do it! I think those people will be pleasantly surprised as well. I was actually on the red carpet when I found out, so when everyone was asking me questions, all I could think about was, “Whitney’s playing my mom!” I couldn’t even pay attention. She’s great!”

The movie “Sparkle’ is due for release in August so you can expect to hear an amazing soundtrack as many of the songs are written by R Kelly who is respected for his night clubs in London classics, so watch this space.

Chris Brown Thanks Cheryl Cole!

The singer known for his music played across the London clubs and his temper tantrums has been defended by Cheryl Cole who recently spoke about Breezy in a radio interview.

Speaking up for the singer of London R&B clubs anthem ‘Beautiful People’ she said: “I think it’s really kind of Rihanna actually [to forgive him]. She’s come out and publicly forgiven him really. I think it’s about time we all did if I’m completely honest, if you want my opinion… I think it’s time we all moved on. That guy is talented as hell.”

Brown was informed about what the former X Factor judge said about him and tweeted: “@cherylcole thanks for the support and believing in me as an artist!”

Cheryl whose new single ‘Call My Name’ is popular across the many nightclubs in London justified her opinion on Chris by explaining: “I work with people all the time with my charity that are transformed characters. They’ve done things when they were young that they regret, they’ve been to prison and they’re now upstanding members of the public and help our community and are amazing people.”

Lets hope more people in the spotlight will speak up for Breezy rather than constantly putting him down.

Pharrell Williams Speaks About Obama & Same Sex Marriage!

President Obama recently endorsed ‘same sex’ marriage with the support of Jay Z, Oprah Winfrey, Lady GaGa and many more superstars that dominate the London clubs, so it’s no wonder why Pharrell Williams is also applauding this decision.

Pharrell has always had a very diverse fan base which spreads beyond ladies across the London R&B clubs to include young gay kids, skateboarders and more. Speaking about this he explained: ”I make music for human beings, so… I think the President addressed human beings. I make music for human beings, we all do! All of us musicians make music for human beings. There’s differences all across the board but, you know, you have a life! You’re a human being. I hope that answer will suffice because, to me, at the end of the day, we’re all humans. You don’t gotta like everything! Live and let live, man!”

Skateboard P is eclectic in both fashion and music, having produced some of the biggest hip-hop and R&B anthems played across nightclubs in London, so it’s no wonder why his new musical venture is a label called: “I Am Other’. Pharrell addressed what it’s like to be different, he stated: “I mean, being different you’re gonna encounter opinions on what people feel is appropriate, what people feel is inappropriate, like just on a basic level of agreement. Whether you like something or you don’t: to each his own.”

Will.i.am Travels To A Climate Change Debate In Helicopter!

The rapper loved across the London clubs and had fans screaming his name during his Olympic Torch run a couple of days ago has recently been criticized for attending a climate change debate in a huge helicopter that produces the same amount  of CO2 that most people do in a single month.

During the discussion he told the audience: “Climate change should be the thing that we are all worried and concerned about as humans on this planet, how we affect the planet, our consumption, and how we treat the place that we live in.”

Speaking about the rapper that dominates dance floors across London R&B clubs Professor Allen put the press at ease regarding Will’s helicopter arrival, he said: “The irony didn’t escape everybody. But he’s committed to the issues and he’s written songs about it. A better understanding of the problems is probably more important than whether Will flies a helicopter from London to Oxford.”

Has Jermain Defoe Really Demand Back His Bentley From Alexandra Burke?

Alexandra Burke is extremely busy promoting her new single ‘Let Go’ on TV shows such as Lorraine and throughout the London clubs, however her personal life is full of drama as her ex-boyfriend Jermain Defoe is apparently demanding back the items he’s brought for her.

It’s a sad day when someone you have feelings for gives you gifts with love and then requests a refund when things don’t work out, that’s basically what Alex is experiencing right now since her football star lover cheated on her.

DJs around London R&B clubs never play her pop anthem ‘Bad Boys’ as they say it’s too cheesy, however perhaps she should avoid the bad boys from now on as they are sweet at first and turn sour after. A source states: ‘It’s a sad state of affairs that it has become so acrimonious within a week of them agreeing it was worth trying to make their relationship work. Jermain wants his Bentley back along with other items he gave Alex.’

The source close to the star continued to say: ‘After the first cheating story, Jermain assured Alex he had learned his lesson and he tried to prove it with gifts, and she adored him so gave him another chance. ‘He didn’t cheat again on Alex after that, but another girl came forward claiming she had also slept with Jermain early on in his relationship with Alex. It seems that although Jermain hadn’t strayed again, Alex couldn’t take hearing about another girl and finished it.’

Lets hope the singer has more luck with this single across the London clubs than she does with footballers.

The rap star behind the London R&B clubs anthem ‘T.H.E’ proved he is ‘The Hardest Ever’ by shuffling and even moonwalking down the relay route. Speaking of his memorable occasion he told the press: I remember in 1984 the Olympics in Los Angeles, me being a little Will watching it on TV wishing I could be at the Olympic Games. I had that flashback when they handed me the torch to run in Taunton.

‘It’s like a blast moment and a surreal moment and i can’t believe it moment all at the same time. I got a little more nervous this time than all the things I have done. I am not holding a flame when I am performing in front of people and the last thing you want to do is make a mistake with fire in your hands.’
