FLO RIDA CAN'T BELIEVE HIS SUCCESSExperiencing back to back smash hit singles comes as a true surprise to Flo Rida, who told us that he never anticipated his song “Right Round” to perform so well. The rapper never assumed it would go on to be as big as 2007’s “Low.” (Cut #1) "Probably not coming back and breaking another record but definitively after having so much success with my first album and the singles, I look forward to coming in and at least doing half. But it was definitely a shock to me.” “Right Round” is nominated for Best Hip Hop Video at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Be sure to tune in on Sunday, September 13th at 9 PM (Live ET/Tape delayed PT).

ALICIA KEYS, SWIZZ BEATZ COUPLED UP IN FRANCEAlicia Keys and mega producer Swizz Beatz were recently spotted enjoying an intimate evening at the VIP Club in St. Tropez, France last week.

However, if you pay attention to their Twitter messages to one another…it’s pretty clear they are an item. Check out the snapshots of their South of France get-away at ConcreteLoop.com now.

By doing so, he scared three Australian radio personalities who were in the car with him.

Luckily there was no damage.”

CHRISTINA MILIAN SAYS GRAB BRING IT ON DVDChristina Milian is currently promoting the release of her new Bring It On: Fight To The Finish DVD and she stopped by to tell us a little about her character in the flick. The singer/actress admitted that she was drawn to playing someone so similar to herself. (Cut #2) "It’s very female driven and its confident and I think some of the things that I like to do tend to be that and expresses the true feeling of a girl. On top of that I got to play Latina, and I’m Cuban so I finally got to be something more of my culture and I think people have been waiting for me to play something more Latina based. And this would be my first time to, and she’s the true definition of a young Latina girl.” Christina spilled on the challenges of portraying “Lina Cruz” in the movie. (Cut #3) "It’s both difficult and easy, because I probably faced a lot of the things that my characters have faced. Umm ‘Lina’ she’s very passionate and driven and people are trying to stop her doing what she does, so I think I had to deal with a lot of that in high school and still to this day, I’m 27 years old now. So I think there’s a nice arch that comes with the character, nobody can get her down.” Bring It On: Fight To The Finish will be released on Tuesday.

KID CUDI PREVIEWS DEBUT ALBUMAs the release for Kid Cudi’s debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, draws near, fans may want to know what direction the project is headed in conceptually.
