MTV News reports that Chris Brown will release his sophomore album, Exclusive, in August on Jive Records.

The album’s first single is still up in the air, according to Brown, but he’s debating between two tracks: “Picture Perfect” and “Throwed.” Brown didn’t want to give up too many details about the two songs, but he said fans should be able to hear one of them soon, possibly within the next two weeks.

Currently, the Virginia native is gearing up to join Beyoncé as the opening act on the Australian leg of her tour. Initially Brown had hopes of pairing with Justin Timberlake, but when those plans didn’t materialize, he quickly jumped at the chance to team up with B.

He's expecting a baby girl this July with longtime girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. It will be T.I.'s and Tiny second child together. The two were even engaged, but have recently decided to amicably end their long relationship and remain friends.

"She's still a part of my life," he explained the turn their relationship has taken. "I love her to death. Her children is still my children, my children are still her children," he said (both have kids from previous relationships). "We want each other to be happy. It's nothing she did and it's nothing I did." (READ MORE)

Born in New Orleans, raised on the isle of Bermuda with intermittent stays in urban Toronto, Colin Harper is not an easy youth to pin down geographically. His musical alter ego Collie Buddz however, is one of the most firmly grounded voices you may ever encounter. Incorporating influences from hip-hop to soca, Collie’s music nevertheless has a rock-solid foundation in reggae - and its power to connect ghetto reality with the highest heights of human aspiration - that is a rarity even in Jamaica.

In an effort to dispel rumors that he physically assaulted his pregnant girlfriend, Tyrese is addressing the accusations in hopes of clearing his name.

The R&B crooner/actor came under investigation earlier this month when authorities were called to his home on the morning of Januray 4 after he and his then five-month pregnant girlfriend got into a heated argument. Tyrese himself had reportedly left the scene when paramedics arrived. The singer's girlfriend initially claimed that the R&B crooner had hit her twice, once in the arm and once in the thigh, but later denied that statement, reportedly telling a nurse at the hospital where she had been taken for treatment that she had not been assaulted.

Until now, the singer/actor has been tight lipped regarding the incident, choosing only to have his lawyer address the matter, but now he has released a statement in which he is proclaiming his innocence.

"I am a very private person but as untrue information is still circulating, I feel I owe it to my fans and supporters to finally address the rumors and put them to rest once and for all," Tyrese stated. "Please be assured that accusations of an alleged physical altercation between my girlfriend and me are absolutely false. No charges were filed. I am grateful for the prayers and support I have received over the last several weeks from my fans and supporters and I want to thank them."
