For those of you who have been curious as to when Jennifer Hudson would ever release a solo project, here is a tad bit of info on it:

Jennifer Hudson has recruited India.Arie and Alicia Keys as mentors as she plans to embark on a pop career. The Oscar winner and former American Idol favorite hopes to release her first album after her new film Sex & The City hits cinemas next month (Jun08) and she has turned to two peers for advice. “I didn’t realize the process would be so long. I’m discovering it as I go along. “Alicia Keys was one of the people who talked to me about it. I wanted to make sure it was OK because it’s taking so long. “She told me it took her at least a year to record her album and that’s the process, so don’t worry about it.” And she turned to Arie when she needed a big hit on the album: “Greatest Creation, which Indie.Arie wrote, is where I see myself and where I’d like to see myself, in saying that my greatest creation is me.” Hudson will release the album in September (08), admitting “I haven’t named it yet.”

This chick has already accomplished so much that we tend to forget that she never dropped an album. We’re interested in what she comes up with for this one…here’s a single that leaked yesterday:

Any thoughts?

Lil Wayne is influenced by musicians other than his daddy The Birdman:

“I am music. That’s me, Jack. I found a new love for music, and I got to owe it to a lot of people in the game. They don’t even know. I got to owe a lot to T-Pain. He made me really look at myself. I always look at somebody like, ‘I can’t do what you do, but man, I damn sure wish I could.’ So when I figure out what I could do about that, I go and do it. So every time I get a chance to say it, T-Pain, Prince, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz — all these are people I looked at the past two years. I viewed them seriously and was like, ‘Wow, I could do that without being totally them.’ I can present it as Lil Wayne.”

Wow, he put T-Pain in the same category as Prince, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, and Lenny Kravitz. That just goes to show you where the music game is headed.

The beautiful and talented Alicia Keys performed in Frankfurt, Germany last night and is said to have dissed some London soccer player that was trying to holler at her last week:

Shaun Wright-Phillips has reportedly asked Alicia Keys to watch him play football. The soccer ace attended Keys’s BET gig at London’s Café de Paris last week and attempted to romance the singer afterwards. Keys was sent a £300 bottle of Cristal by the sportsman and handed a note by a waitress inviting her to a Chelsea game. Wright-Phillips allegedly got snubbed by the soul star and left the venue alone.

We wonder why she turned him down? His little British game might not have been strong enough.
