BRANDY SIGNS NEW RECORD DEAL WITH EPIC RECORDS + CANDID PICS OF BRANDY & KEISHA SPIVEY-EPPS W/HER SON AMIR IN BEVERLY HILLS.

Good news for you Brandy fans. The R&B singer/actress has put her legal woes behind her and has left Atlantic Records, where she has been signed on to since the beginning of her music career, to join the Epic Records family. Brandy--real name Brandy Norwood--plans to release a new album by the end of the year--four years after her final Atlantic release, Afrodisiac. The news is a big boost for Brandy, who spent much of 2007 fighting potential vehicular manslaughter charges following a 2006 fatal car accident. The singer was cleared of all charges last December (2007). And just last month (March 2008), the single mother of one was hit with a lawsuit from a landscaping company, which alleged the singer owed her gardener over $3,500 in expenses for work carried out at her home, according to Billboard.com. But the 29-year-old claimed she was never notified of the outstanding amount owed because the bills were sent to the wrong address. Her representative Courtney Barnes says, "Brandy's business manager moved offices and never received any of the bills in question. The landscaper has now been paid and we expect that the lawsuit will be immediately dropped."

However, a trial date has been set for April 22, 2008.

In related news, the singer was seen yesterday leaving Fred Segal in Beverly Hills with former 90s girlband Total member Keisha Spivey with her 4-month-old son Amir (which she shares with her husband actor Omar Epps). Peep the pics, courtesy of Concrete Loop, below. For those who don't remember, last November, Brandy hosted a co-ed baby shower for Keisha and Omar.

HEINEKEN'S RED SOUL STAR EVENT: COMMON, MALINDA & D-NICE, BRANDY, FREE, OMAR EPPS & KEISHA, TRUTH HURTS

A generous handful of celebs made their presence known at Heineken's Red Star Soul concert series event in Los Angeles on August 15, 2007. Rapper Common performed as well as Raheem and Chrisette Michelle. Other celebs in attendance included: actor Omar Epps and his wife Keisha (former member of R&B group Total), who is evidently expecting ; actress Malinda Williams and her longtime boo, D-Nice; Brandy, MC Lyte, Idris Elba, Tichina Arnold, former host of 106 & Park, Free and someone who we (at least I) haven't seen in a month of Sundays also made a rare, candid appearance...that someone happens to be one-hit wonder (for the life of me I can't remember the name of her one and only semi-hit...and I'm too tired to look it up) Truth Hurts. Wild 'N Out cast members DJ D-Wrek and Affion Crockett were there as well. Was I the only one who died of laughter when Fabulous told him he looks like Toys 'R Us' mascot, Geoffry the Giraffe! LOL!

The event also recognizes a member of the local music community at each tour stop with the Heineken Independent Achiever award. The award, which was established in 2006, honors individuals who demonstrate the hustle, integrity and drive necessary to be successful while inspiring others. Eight Heineken Independent Achiever award recipients will accept their award on-stage during the Heineken Red Star Soul concert in their hometown.

"Heineken Red Star Soul was created to honor the achievements of soul and R&B musicians and others who inspire others with their talent and tenacity," said Heineken USA brand director Andy Glaser. "With our concert performances and by honoring our Heineken Independent Achievers, we salute luminaries and rising stars who continue to make valuable contributions to soul and R&B music. "The concert series comes as Common celebrates the release of his latest album, Finding Forever.
