ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER THE 12th, THE 'BEY-MOCRACY' IS COMING!! THE 'BEY-MOCRACY' IS COMING!! THE 'BEY-MOCRACY' IS COMING!! + NEW DEREON JEWELRY LINE.

Heads up, everybody! The Bey-mocracy is coming! It's been confirmed that Beyonce's next studio album (which still has no title...although some say she fiddled around with naming it Virtuoso Intellect) will hit stores on Tuesday, November 11th. Beyonce's new album will be released about two weeks before the soundtrack from her latest film, Cadillac Records hits stores on October 29th. No pun intended, but I smell deja vu right about now. Back in 2006, Beyonce's had originally made plans to release her album B'Day after the Christmas release of the Dreamgirls movie. However, Bey's former band mate LeToya Luckett had released her self-titled solo debut in July of 2006. It wasn't until after LeToya's album blew up that Beyonce decided to run to the studio where she recorded her album in about two weeks before pushing her release date up to September 4th. I guess she couldn't or didn't want to risk the chance of having a former friend/band mate to interrupt her shine and whatnot. Anyhoo, I said all of that to say this: Michelle's, Bey's other band mate, new solo album was scheduled to debut back in August....and has now been given an October 7th release date. Is it safe to say that Michelle doesn't stand a chance at any reputable record sales once Beyonce trollops out the gate to promote her newest album? I guess only time will tell.

Moving on....word around the web is that Bey and her mama Tina will soon launch a jewelry line aptly titled Deréon Jewelry for their Deréon Junior Line. The jewelry line will include necklaces, charm bracelets and hoop earrings in metal, glass and enamel which will retail from about $16 to $68 and will be available in Macy's, Dillards and other specialty stores like Claire's Boutique. Of the new line, Tina says, "I love accessories and we’ve always used a lot of accessories, so it was a natural thing for us to do. For the first collection, I wanted to do a lot of things taken from the street. One of the things I love to do is walk on the streets of New York or Brooklyn and see what the kids are doing, and that goes with our mantra — catwalk meets sidewalk. I saw a lot of filled hoops and charm bracelets, that’s what the kids are wearing these days."

USHER TO BUST HIS ASS IN AN EFFORT TO WIN BACK FEMALE FANS BY LAUNCHING A LADIES ONLY-TYPE TOUR.

In an effort to win back the hordes of female fans he lost during his moments of bitching and moaning about the lack of privacy over his personal life AND to produce more sales for his latest album, that has yet to reach platinum status after over three months on the charts, Usher is now making plans to embark on a 15-city U.S. tour aptly titled the One Night Stand tour, which is, needless to say, just for the ladies. Usher says he believes the 'intimate feeling' of his latest album, Here I Stand, is perfect for packed out venues full of women. Hmph, good luck, dude. Anyhoo, he goes on to say, "There's only a few artists that can pull that off. I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women? The ladies like to see that masculine build. They question if I still got it." So now he wants to get 'up close and personal' with his female fans? After he made it clearly known that Here I Stand is basically a recorded testament to his wife Tameka. Somebody get this man a drink because he is truly thirsty. As far as his career is concerned, Usher is on a fast track to becoming the next Bobby Brown. And we all know that ain't a good look at all.

In related news, aside from re-releasing his lackluster album and filming a new video for what I assume will be his next single, Trading Places, this dude is also planning to launch his own line of lingerie and men underwear. Suffice it to say, the One Night Stand tour is being used as a promotional tool to endorse these endeavors.

NE-YO AWARDED $700,00 IN DAMAGES AFTER BEING KICKED OFF R. KELLY'S TOUR.

Ne-Yo will soon have a cool $700,000 in his bank account thanks to R. Kelly. Last week, a judge ordered a concert promoter to pay R&B singer $700,000 in damages after he was dropped from Chester the Molester's tour in 2007. Ne-Yo was due to join the Kelly for a string of live dates but he was removed from the line-up amid allegations that Kelly feared the younger singer was upstaging him. Of course, Kelly denied the claims. Soon after, Ne-Yo filed a suit against the tour's promoter, Rowe Entertainment Inc. to claim compensation for being dropped. And now, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ordered the company to pay the specified amount to the star. R. Kelly was not named in the suit.

In related Ne-Yo news, the singer will soon follow in the footsteps of Outkast member Andre 3000 after creating his own animated series for the Cartoon Network. Ne-Yo is currently in talks with TV upper-ups to get his own show on the channel. He says, "It's a cartoon for adults, like Family Guy. I've been busy developing it. I created the characters and the world they live in. And I did the original drawings and wrote the story." The series will be called What The Bear and features a rude bear that has been in jail in another dimension. He adds, "I'm working on the music for the series, too. It will all be original."

FLOYD 'MOUTH ALMIGHTY, TONGUE EVERLASTING' MAYWEATHER WANTS YOU TO HELP HIM CATCH A THIEF.

The following story is a classic case of when showing off goes terribly wrong. Last week, burglars (see photo above) broke into one of Floyd 'Money' Mayweather's Las Vegas homes and robbed him of over $7 million worth of jewelry. According to boxingscene.com, the thieves committed the 'smash and grab' on August 17th, between the hours of 7:00 and 9:00 pm by breaking into Mr. Mouth Almighty, Tongue Everlasting's bedroom window. Mayweather wasn't home at the time and apparently his security system, assuming he had one, obviously failed him. Since the break-in, his security personnel are said to be working around the clock in an effort to better protect the boxer's remaining personal property. On Tuesday, Mayweather issued a $100,000 cash reward for information leading to the return of his iced-out jewels. Anyone with information on this crime can call Sherbrooke, Jelan and Associates at (678) 457-5858 or (404) 786-1321. Callers could be eligible for an immediate cash reward of $100,000 and may remain anonymous.

Although no one has the right to break into anyone's home to take something that doesn't belong to them, Floyd had to have seen this coming in some shape or form sooner or later. What dense ass would place millions of dollars worth of bling in any place besides a safe....in a home where your bedroom is on the first floor? I mean, really. But then again, this is the same man who invited cameras into his home to film him counting and placing a million dollars in cash, which he retrieved from his nightstand drawer, into a black duffel bag...just so that he could post it on youtube (see video HERE) to boast and brag to people about how large he's living. And the thieves who made off with his baubles are probably just as dumb as he is. If they'd seen the video, they'd know to check the nightstand drawer first. Besides, what pawn shop is going to seriously consider giving these guys cold, hard cash that most likely will not amount to anything close to a million dollars.
