While we anxiously await her upcoming album, seksi songstress Cheryl Cole is flip flopping on which tracks are her favorites...and is teasing us even MORE along the way!
The singer reunited with longtime producer/mentor/friend will.i.am on her third album A Million Lights and even recorded a duet together called Craziest Things!!!
So that explains those little Sunday brunch gatherings and late night advice sessions she had with him! Ha!
In a recent interview, Cheryl said her current single, Call My Name was her ultimate fave for a while...until she settled on the will.i.am collaboration!
We STILL can't get over the HOTNESS that is the Call My Name video!!!!
Cheryl teased some more, saying:
“I've got a song that's actually a hip-hop beat with a pop verse and that's called Under The Sun."
Sure sounds like the makings of a smash to us!!!
...is it June yet???
We have a feeling that A Million Lights is going to be Chezza's best work yet!!!

Well, sounds like Courtney Love’s rights to her late husband’s estate are dwindling down even more.
Reportedly, Courtney and Kurt Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, has recently obtained the rights to her dad’s name, likeness and appearance.
Back in 2010, Love received a $2.75 million loan from Frances’ trust fund and still has yet to pay it back.
Recent documents reveal that until Love pays back the loan, she will be unable to profit off of Kurt’s publicity rights.
The docs also show that Courtney decided to step down as manager of End of Music LLC, the company which is responsible for money made off the rights, in exchange for the loan.
For Courtney, this means that although she still owns about 60 percent of her late husband’s estate, she still has NO control over his image OR his music, which is owned by Primary Wave Music.
At least now we HOPE the late singer's likeness is in good hands with his daughter.

With a bottle that matches his name! Ha!
Cee Lo Green partied in Las Vegas this past weekend while he was in town to perform and promote his appearance at upcoming 2012 Billboard Music Awards.
The Voice coach took the stage at around 1:45am at 1 OAK in the Mirage on Friday night. He sang a medley of hits, including Forget You F*ck You, before sitting down to sip on some low-cal Ty Ku at his VIP table.
We don't know what we want more -- a giant cutout of our own face or our very own bottle of Ty Ku?
Hmm...that's a tough call, but since we've got plenty of mirrors laying around, we'll take the Ty Ku!
Are U going to watch this guy perform during the BMAs on Sunday, May 20?

Whomp, whomp.
Looks like the Queen of Soul might not have gotten her way this time!
Remember earlier this year when Aretha Franklin was just PINING to have Halle Berry portray her in an upcoming biopic???
Mz. Franklin was SO adamant about Halle playing her -- insistent, really -- even though Halle herself said she couldn’t even carry a tune! LOLz!
Well, now it sounds like Tony award-winner Audra McDonald has reportedly signed on to play young Aretha...not Halle!!
Seems to be a more appropriate choice, seeing as Audra can do more than just carry a tune -- the singer-actress has won FOUR Tonys for her performances on Broadway, such as A Raisin In The Sun and Ragtime AND has won two Emmys for her role in ABC’s Private Practice!
Apparently, though, there have been no talks between Aretha and Audra just yet, with Franklin still in negotiations for the project all together.
Better luck...er...next time, Aretha?
Cyndi Lauper is going to be honored by the US government for her support of the LGBT community!
Specifically, the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is honoring her for co-founding the True Colors Fund, which encourages people of all sexual orientations to help the LGBT community.
She's going to be given the prize by the US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day in Washington, D.C. on May 9.
So not only is she a timeless singer, she also is a fighter for human rights!
LBGT issues aren't only for the LGBT community, they affect everyone so her trying to involve people of all sexual orientations is a great step froward towards widespread tolerance.
You go, Cyndi!

Seems like everyone lately is getting the chance to work with their favorite late great artists!
Selena Gomez, named after the Latin star Selena, recently got to record with the late singer on her tribute album, Enamorada De Ti!
Gomez joined the Queen of Tejano on one of her biggest and most famous hits, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, on the album released earlier this month!!!
Take a listen to the AHmazing duet (above)!!!!
What an honor!
Selenita spoke on recording the duet recently, revealing:
“When I went into the studio to record they actually had her vocals in the booth that she was in, so I felt like she was singing right next to me. It gave me chills! It was incredible and it was a great experience and it was a great song."
Though sadly, Gomez and Selena Quintanilla never actually got to work together (Selena was tragically murdered in 1995, Gomez was born in ‘92), Selenita is getting praise for the duet by one of the late singer’s closest relatives -- her brother.
A.B. Quintanilla said:
"She did an amazing job. I had the opportunity to talk to her, we did some awards together (Read more...)
