Jermaine Dupri Promises Mariah, Janet Duet On New Album

When I did Usher's My Way album, the last record I created was 'You Make Me Wanna....' Bow Wow's next album is on Dupri's to-do list, as are records from 3LW, JoJo, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Frankie J, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nelly, Usher ("We gonna start on his record at the end of the year") and Mariah Carey once she gets off tour.

Justin's hanky-panky must end!

Dear Justin Timberlake,
I?m going to be quick and to-the-point about this: Lose the mankerchief. I don?t care if you?re wearing it like a bank robber from Ye Olde West, or a luxury-yacht owner from Boca Raton, it?s got to stop. Seriously. The only person who can successfully rock a mankerchief is George Hamilton, and that?s because he?s nearly 70, and is deeply tanned. So unless you?re secretly trying to win a spot on Season 4 of Dancing With the Stars (where you and Usher will stage an epic battle that'll make Lopez-Lawrence look like a grade-school talent show), keep those unsavory squares of cloth in your pocket. Unless you feel a really big sneeze coming on. Thank you. (And thanks to Dlisted for the heads up.)
