After selling out 50 shows in London, Micheal is reportedly looking for another hit record to support in the tour. Several sources have cited grammy award winners Ne-yo and black eyed peas producer Will iam being called upon to work their magic. Some sources have even said that the Louis Vetton don Kanye West has even submitted a track. I guess we will have to just wait and see. Hopefully they will give him a next level track that a star of Micheal's caliber needs, and not like the forgettable album that Rodney Jerkins did in his first comeback.

EMINEM - EMINEM/UNIVERSAL LAWSUIT GOING TO TRIAL - March 8, 2009
EMINEM's legal battle with record label Universal over royalties from digital downloads is set to go to trial on Tuesday (24Feb09) - two years after the case was filed in a California court.
The Without Me hitmaker, real name Marshall Mathers, sued Universal bosses via his F.B.T. Productions company in 2007, challenging how much he is entitled to when the label sells his music to third-party distributors, like Apple's iTunes downloading website.
The case could set a precedent for the music industry as hundreds of millions of dollars is potentially at stake for other artists whose songs have been made available for the service.
The trial is due to take place in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and will be the first legal test of the competing issues of its kind.
Eminem, who is signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records - a subsidiary of Universal/Interscope, will not be present for the court proceedings, but Universal founder Jimmy Iovine, Apple CEO Steve Jobs are among those expected to testify, reports TheWrap.com.
Universal is the biggest music company in the world and counts superstars like U2, Jay-Z, Kanye West and singer Akon among its roster of artists.

Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies - March 6, 2009
Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown has been charged with two felonies stemming from an argument with his girlfriend, Rihanna, court documents show.
Brown is expected to be arraigned Thursday afternoon on charges of assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats. The 19-year-old R&B singer remains free on $50,000 bail.
The felony complaint handed down in court Thursday morning identifies Brown’s alleged victim only as “Robyn F.” Rihanna’s real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
If convicted, the possible sentence ranges anywhere from probation to four years and eight months in state prison, said district attorney’s spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.
Los Angeles police arrested Brown on Feb. 8 and booked him on suspicion of making criminal threats. Police said at the time a woman identified Brown as her attacker during an early morning dispute in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood.
Phone messages left for Brown’s attorney and publicist were not immediately returned Thursday.
Brown issued a statement a week after the incident saying that he was “sorry and saddened” about the incident. Rihanna also later issued a statement, saying she wouldn’t comment on the alleged beating at the request of authorities. She thanked fans for their support.
Brown’s arrest has been a dent in the Run It! singer’s squeaky-clean image, and compelled sponsors to drop him or not renew his deals.
The alleged attack also came hours before the couple were scheduled to appear and perform at the Grammy Awards. Both were no-shows for event.
