R. Kelly Needs Funding for 32 ‘Trapped in the Closet’ Chapters
Following guest performances from Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne, we weren't all that surprised when R. Kelly showed up to duet with Melanie Amaro on his own 1996 smash, 'I Believe I Can Fly,' and their duet soared even though the surprise was spoiled.
R. Kelly has been relatively quiet since recovering from his throat surgery this past July. On Thursday (Nov. 10), the R&B crooner posted a new song on Twitter to address the haters who were hoping that his tonsillitis would end his storied music career.
As most people know by now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is pretty much the man. He has managed to build a reputation as one of Hollywood's most charming young actors, and JGL's adorably endearing persona also translates over to his musical endeavors. Recently, JGL performed at Ohio State University, and he absolutely delighted his fans when he busted into a cover of R. Kelly's sexy and smooth remix to 'Ignition.'
Eccentric pop star Cee Lo Green has been tapped to star in the remake of the blaxploitation film 'Sparkle,' according to Variety. The 1976 movie tells the story of three Williams sisters from Harlem, N.Y., in the late '50s who went on to become a successful girl group. But the girls' sudden rise to fame soon disrupt their own personal lives.
R. Kelly can't catch a break. The singer, who underwent emergency throat surgery to drain an abscess in his tonsil last week, made headlines when it was recently revealed that his $2.9 million Chicago estate was in foreclosure because he was delinquent with payments. Now, The Detroit News reports that he owes nearly a million in unpaid taxes. The R&B star apparently needs some accounting assistance, as he owes a debt of exactly $837,000 to Uncle Sam.
