Get stranded with Brandy and famed photographer Derek Blanks in the official behind-the-scenes visual the R&B star’s ‘Alter-Ego’ photoshoot. The theme of the shoot is, “The struggle between good and bad, when good turns bad.” Check it out above.

Check out to of my latest creations I just posted a few days ago to YouTube.  I teach @ The World Famous Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood, CA.  Make sure you subscribe to my channel  and follow me on Twitter.

MCs picking a day of the week to chuck out free tunes via Twitter is becoming the norm, but today Timbland offered up a standout jam for his “Timbaland Thursdays” in the form of the Brandy-featuring “808.” Granted, the former Dancing With The Stars contestant essentially doesn’t get to vocally show off until the end of the track—save for a loop of her intoning the song’s title throughout—but we’re digging the beat on this one. Listen below.

“And when the music’s gone and there’s no more songs, no more songs / And when the snare is gone and that hi-hat’s gone, I still got 808,” Timbaland sings on the boastful tune with his trademark layered vocals.

Later Brandy adds, “I’m like the bass in the trunk, if you want I can ride the wave / Baby just tell me where you’re at and I’m on my way.”

Brandy got a new tattoo on her left forearm last month, and now her artist has made some changes to it after the reaction it got on Twitter. The singer's faithful followers pointed out that her tat of the Hindu god Ganesh looked a little, well, phallic thanks to a very well-endowed elephant trunk.

Rather than weather snickering behind her back whenever she went out to the club, Brandy apparently took up her tattoo artist on an offer to modify the ink (see her Twitter photos at left). It looks like her artist's skillful application of a lotus flower has thwarted any awkward misunderstandings.

Brandy fielded questions about her new tat on Twitter last month, and later admitted that her daughter, 8-year-old Sy'rai, wasn't crazy about her mom getting inked. Brandy wrote of Sy'rai's reaction: "she said that when she get's 80 the tattoo will be wrinkled.. smart Kid."

Brandy cuddled up courtside with “106 & Park” host Terrence J at the Toronto Raptures vs. New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Wednesday (Dec. 8). The flirty pair snapped pics with designer Vera Wang and Olympic skater Evan Lysacek. “At the Knicks game with my homie!!! Fun times:)” tweeted the star of VH1’s “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business.”

In other news, Brandy is close to announcing a new record deal. “INCREDIBLE meeting at my NEW record label!! (You will know the details very soon) Shall I say the ALBUM is coming VERY SOON:) Smash!!!!!” she wrote.

Brandy was in the hot seat last night on “Lopez Tonight,” sitting down with the host to promote the second season of her VH1 series “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business.” The sexy singer emerged from backstage after a clip rolled of she and her brother arguing, which she explained was about his questionable decisions.

“He has a girlfriend now and she’s beautiful and she loves him for him, and that’s really hard to find when you’re in the industry that you’re in. It’s hard to find honest people. Ray is all about his career right now, and I’m saying balance the two because you need them both,” advised his big sis.

She also chatted about building her confidence on “Dancing with the Stars,” getting her swag back, maintaining relationships with her competitors, trouble with dating men, and spit a short verse as her rap alter-ego Bran’Nu.

Brandy covers the latest issue of Upscale Magazine. Brandy, currently enjoying a good run on Dancing With The Stars, looks AMAZING on the cover. This almost looks like My friend and personal Photoag TyrenRedd.com Shot. She's giving me J-Lo (As far as face) I look forward to her forthcoming album, which should be hitting stores next spring.

Brandy (Getty Images)Brandy revealed on last week's episode of Dancing with the Stars that she hasn't been intimate with a guy in six years. In a new interview with Life & Style, she admits that maybe six years is a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much.

"I haven't been with a man seriously and in love in six years. And, honestly, I tend to abstain if I'm not in a relationship." Brandy admitted she hasn't been celibate all that time, but... "It's been a long time. We're talking years."

Brandy goes on to talk about a brief romance with rapper Flo Rida, but says ultimately nothing came of it.


"I was very interested in him," she said. "I mean, how can you not be -- he's very attractive. But there was just something about us that didn't click."

Don't worry, the R&B singer hasn't given up all hope. She recently said that her stint on DWTS has helped her feel sexy again. And after all, she hasn't cut men out of her life completely.

"I actually went on a blind date a couple months ago that was very interesting but 

Brandy stepped into her dancing shoes on the two-hour season premiere of “Dancing with the Stars.” The singer-actress gracefully worked her way through the Viennese Waltz with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy while her mom, daughter, and brother Ray J cheered from the audience. Her moves impressed the judges, who awarded the excited star a 23/30 score.

“What an amazing night!” tweeted Brandy after the show. “I really did something else that I was terrified to do! Thank you to my family and friends/fans 4 their support! WOW!”

Watch Brandy’s “DWTS” debut below.

Brandy is hard at work with dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy in preparation for their “Dancing with the Stars” debut, with rehearsal footage showing the pair attempting to nail the cha-cha. Though Brandy flubbed a few dance moves, they had a sterling finish—but practice makes perfect. See if the dynamic duo pulls it off when the show debuts with a live two-night premiere event starting Monday, Sept. 20, at 8 p.m.

Brandy has already slipped into her dancing shoes in anticipation of her upcoming stint as a contestant during the 11th season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Pictured above with her dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Bran’Nu gazes at an iPad in the dance studio before working up a hunger and heading over to Japanese eatery Katsuya for a team building dinner.

She might have to slow down on the extracurricular activities with Chmerkovskiy though. “Damn, he would make such a HOT boyfriend but let me just focus on dancing..SMH at myself..lol,” the 31-year-old tweeted.

Ironically, Ms. Norwood claims to have two left feet, telling UsMagazine.com that she’s never been good at nailing choreography. “What people don’t understand is I have never been a good dancer!” Brandy said. “Dancing has never been one of my strongest points. With this show, you have to do things you’ve never done before, and I’ve never done anything like this. It’s a whole new experience!”

The new season of “DWTS” is set to premiere Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Brandy isn’t having much luck in the legal department. Marc Mysterio, a popular Scandinavian DJ, has filed suit against the 31-year-old in Los Angeles County Superior Court for a whopping $6 million after claiming that she failed to follow through on a deal to write and perform “32 bars of music.”


Mysterio claims that he handed over a check for $10,000 to Brandy in June, with the understanding that she would write and record her part of the song. After the singer accepted the money and failed to fulfill her end of the bargain, Mysterio asserts that he lost more than $25,000 from the deal.

Brandy, who most recently starred on the popular VH1 reality show Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business, is no stranger to legal troubles. The star was involved in a highly publicized car crash in late 2006 that claimed the life of a 38-year-old woman. Brandy was later sued by the woman’s parents, widower and children in separate suits.

The bathroom is not the only place Brandy shines. The R&B songstress returned to the stage to sing a few of her classics, including “Almost Doesn’t Count,” during “RnB Live Hollywood” at the Key Club on Wednesday (May 26).

“I love this song because I believe that when you speak things into existence, it can actually manifest,” she said before delving into Etta James’ “At Last.” “I wanna sing this song because I really want to find my divine soulmate. Wherever he is, this is dedicated to you.”

The Norwood family invites viewers into their busy lives on VH1’s “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” premiering April 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Watch the extended trailer for the one-hour episode series, in which Brandy and Ray J learn the ropes of the family company, but can they avoid letting business get in the way of their personal relationships?

The superstar siblings will appear in the VH1 reality program “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” along with their parents, entertainment manager and mother Sonja and musical father Willie Norwood. The one-hour, 11-episode series will give viewers a first-hand glimpse into the lives of the Norwood family and their family business, Rn’B Productions.

Run by Sonja, Rn’B Productions features a roster of musical artists including Brandy, Ray J, and their father Willie, who also serves as the company’s vocal coach. But with Sonja ready to take a step down, Brandy and Ray J will have to fill her shoes quickly all the while taking the family business to the next level.

The show documents Brandy as she records her next album with Timbaland, while raising her seven-year-old daughter Sy’rai. Her younger brother Ray J digs beyond his notorious bad boy image and collaborates on his own musical project with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and other producers.

Reality television is nothing new for the famous siblings. Both have starred on reality shows, Brandy in 2002’s MTV series “Diary Presents Brandy: Special Delivery” and Ray J in VH1’s “For the Love of Ray J.”

Will the Norwoods have what it takes to continue to stay in the limelight while growing an entertainment empire? Watch as they overcome obstacles and stick together in “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” premiering on VH1 Sunday, April 11, at 9 p.m.

There has been much talk about the origin of Jennifer Lopez’s first single “Louboutins.” The producer behind the track, Tricky Stewart, is setting the record straight on how the designer heels ended up on J.Lo’s feet.


“We originally wrote the song for Brandy and when Brandy’s situation kinda fell apart over at [Epic Records], there was an opportunity for us to place the record on J.Lo’s album,” Stewart explains to our friends over at Rap-Up.com. Brandy was previously signed to Epic, currently home to Lopez.

The Grammy winner describes what it was like to collaborate with J.Lo on “Louboutins,” for which she will shoot a video next month. “I’ve always been a fan of hers and have so much respect for her career, how she’s put it together, and where she’s come from,” he says. “It was a great opportunity and she sounded amazing on the record, and [Epic] obviously already loved the record ’cause they loved it for Brandy. So once we got it sounding great, it seemed like a no-brainer that it would be the first single.”

Tricky and his hitmaking partner The-Dream contributed other material to the superstar’s new project, but he didn’t know if it would make the cut. “We did do other songs, but I don’t want to say our other songs are on there and they’re not.”

It was far from a silent night at Y100’s Jingle Ball 2009 as Timbaland and Brandy electrified the stage with their Shock Value II collaboration “Meet in tha Middle” at Fort Lauderdale’s Bank Atlantic Center on Saturday (Dec. 12). The holiday concert also featured performances from JoJo, Shakira, Flo Rida, Jordin Sparks, Iyaz, and more.

Timbaland was stuck in the middle of JoJo and Brandy at the release party for Shock Value II at LIV nightclub at Fontainebleau Miami Beach on Saturday (Dec. 5). Timb performed “Meet in tha Middle” with Brandy aka Bran’Nu and “Lose Control” with new Interscope Records signee JoJo. Serena Williams, Fat Joe, Travis McCoy, and Russell Simmons enjoyed the show.
