Luke James Denies He’s Marrying Jessie J Is R&B crooner Luke James planning on walking down the aisle with singer Jessie J? Via Hip Hollywood reports: Luke James and Jessie J have been dating for a few months now, but could they already be making plans to head down the aisle? Luke is definitely making plans … to open up for his girl while on tour that is. The soulful singer and his English singer/songwriter boo will be at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on May 18th. But after the tour, will wedding bells ring? When HipHollywood caught up with James at the Grammys, we asked if we could expect an invitation to their nuptials. “Possibly,” the singer stated, then he caught himself. “What wedding?” Although they may not be walking into wedded bliss anytime soon, they are working on new music together and Luke says we’ll hear it when “the magic hour hits.” Welp!
Dayyyum CiCi… Fan Launches Petition To Stop Ciara From Singing A disgruntled fan recently launched a petition to stop recording artist Ciara from sharing her questionable vocal talents with the world. The petition, titled “2012 Stop Ciara From Making Music Campaign,” has only received a little over 250 signatures to date but is quickly spreading across social media networks. CiCi and her goodies have been off the music scene as of late but she’s reportedly back in the studio with producers Rodney Jerkins and Jermain Dupri working on new material. We’re sure she’s “speechless” at this petition. Hit the flip to see CiCi and her non-singing self blondie-locks hard at work in the studio. Images via Twitter
Working on Watch the Throne with Kanye got the creative juices flowing for Blueprint 3 follow-up. By Alvin Blanco Jay-Z Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — While fans are still eagerly waiting for Jay-Z to drop his collaborative album with Kanye West, Watch the Throne, he has already started working on his next solo album. At an exclusive listening session for Throne on Thursday night at the Mercer Hotel, the Brooklyn rapper revealed that he is two songs deep into recording his 12th solo LP. The experience of creating the collaboration was so positive, Jay said, it inspired him begin working on new material of his own. Besides the two songs he has already completed, which he claimed were the best first pair of tunes he has ever created for one of his albums, he also has another four ideas ready to go. “I know exactly the tone and the whole feel of the album,” Jay-Z said of the follow-up to 2009’s platinum-certified The Blueprint 3. “I think when you experience creativity, you should get it out as much as possible.” Even though Watch the Throne isn’t in stores yet (pre-order receipts seem to indicate, unofficially, that it will be out on August 2), the “Empire State of Mind” rapper doesn’t want to stifle the creative juices that started flowing when he was working with West. And the inspiration flowed both ways, it seems. After getting Odd Future singer Frank Ocean to record a song for his solo album, Hov decided to have the crooner contribute his vocals to two Watch the Throne songs. So will this new solo effort come out before the discs from his Roc Nation signees J. Cole and Jay Electronica ? “Hopefully,” he quipped, before adding, “I don’t play that. We’re all competing for the same mind share. J. Cole and Jay Electronica are both making inspiring music.” Related Artists Jay-Z
