Former Pussy Cat Doll, Nicole S. is putting out some material, as voted on by her official fan site. Unfortunately, her album has been another one to join the "pushed to 2008", crew. Some sight poor material. I sight lack of real fan base.
Either way, her new song is called "Puakenikeni", after the Hawiian flower. The song is only really hot during "Brick & Lace's" part. It's kinda of a miss for both producer Akon and Nicole. To listen Click Here.

 Rachel Ritfield, who was set to become Mrs Thiam or wife number four (Dammmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnn) to the R&B star Akon, has hit the road, saying that she wants one man.
"I'm not a bad person, I don't do anything to hurt anybody else so why can't I be one of those women who have a normal relationship and have a family?," she tells The Voice about the break up of her relationship with Akon.
The 5'11" model who was the face of street label Akademiks, added that she couldn't walk up the aisle and exchange vows, despite being in love with the Senegalese singer.
Ritfield feared that he could later meet wife number five, which would no longer make her his favorite - and hearing the news about the birth of his fifth child (Dammmmmmmmnnnn) to one of his other wives, woke her up from a two-year love dream ( Ya Think?).
"He does not live with his wives but the birth of his latest child made everything become real (Oh! The 1,2,3 and 4th child didn't seem real to her?) and made me realize that I would always have to share the man I love while accepting his other relationships.”
"Nothing was an issue," she says. "I came from a past that was very dramatic and scary into a relationship that appeared to be perfect."

 R&B/Pop king Michael Jackson will lose his Neverland Ranch in January if he fails to pay a $23 million loan, according to reports.
Jackson is on the brink of seeing his infamous home being sold, after being given 90 days to meet a final demand on the huge debt.
The Fortress Trust, an investment company, is understood to have issued the ultimatum, which expires on January 19.
Although Jackson is said to be nearing agreement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing about a financial deal, this is not thought to involve Neverland.
It is reported that Jackson is currently residing in a rented property in Washington.
Ooooh, they wanna be startin' somethin', gotta be startin' somethin'.

 Hip Hop heavyweight T.I., who is under house arrest while he awaits trial for federal weapons charges, has asked a judge to let him host a Thanksgiving Day celebration at his Jonesboro home.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., was arrested Oct. 13. Federal authorities allege the 27-year-old rapper tried to buy machine guns and silencers in a midtown Atlanta parking lot just blocks from the BET Hip-Hop Awards, which he was to headline later that night.
He was released on a $3 million bond Oct. 26.
As a condition of his release, T.I. lives in his Jonesboro residence with his girlfriend and children and isn't allowed to have visitors without prior approval. He isn't allowed to have more than three visitors at a time, with few exceptions.
His lawyers asked Tuesday that a list of family members be granted "approved visitation to have dinner with the defendant" Nov. 22 between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The monitoring service that is supervising his release would be present.

 Religion strikes again. According to reports, students at an Ethiopia religious college are protesting the close ties between the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the government, alleged restrictions on their speech — and Beyonce's recent meeting with their patriarch.
26-year-old R&B singer Beyonce met with the Ethiopian patriarch, Abune Paulos, before performing in skimpy sequined outfits as part of the celebration of the country's millennium.
Students were upset and reportedly went on hunger strike because of the closeness of the church to the ruling party and restrictions on their speech, but were also upset over the Beyonce-Paulos meeting.
Authorities were trying to persuade the students to end their hunger strike.
The Orthodox Church is Ethiopia's largest, claiming 45 million out of 77 million citizens as members. It is considered to be very close to the government.
College official Bedilu Assefa confirmed that students had complained, but said: "What they have done is they have raised some administrative issues regarding food and clinical facilities. Nobody has protested against Beyonce. Never."
Not all the protesters were concerned with the singer, or even politics. Student Kinetibebeu Assefa, 25, said that he had joined the protest to demand an improvement in cafeteria food and the firing of some college officials.
Isn't refusing to eat an oxymoron in Africa?
