Wednesday Roundup

Singer/rapper Lauryn Hill announced to an audience in Detroit that she's expecting her sixth . Although there's been no word on when the baby's due, she and boyfriend Rohan Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, are currently raising five children together. Rapper/actress Eve revealed in a recent interview that after dating someone for a year, she's ready for marriage and children. She wouldn't reveal the gentleman's name, but says he's not in the music industry. Meanwhile, she's completing work on her next album "Lip Lock" after a nine year absence from the music scene. After conquering music, film and fashion, rapper 50 Cent is set to conquer the comics. The Queens New York rapper's rags-to-riches story will be chronicled in a new Bluewater Productions comic book and the cover has hit the web. Hitting shelves July 2011, Fame: 50 Cent follows then unknown Curtis James Jackson as  he builds his hip hop persona and climbs the music charts with such hits as "In Da Club" and "How We Do". The book also tackles his drug-dealing past, public feuds with other hip hop artists, and his lesser known years as a fledging boxer and follows him to his current title of entreprenur and father. The book will retail for $3.99 in July. Singers Chris Brown and Jill Scott will join Alicia Keys and other as performers at the 2011 BET Awards. Brown has been nominated for six awards, and Scott lit up the stage with her performance at Black Girls Rock. Hosted by Kevin Hart, the 2011 BET Awards will honor Patti LaBelle with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and will also honor Steve Harvey with the Humanitarian Award. Born Prince Rogers Nelson June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis Minnesota, music icon Prince celebrated his 53rd birthday yesterday. He may not have celebrated as he's currently in the middle of his 21-Night Stand Welcome 2 American Live residency in at The Forum in Inglewood California. Since the 1980's Prince has put together a vast, eclectic body of work, including the 1984 classic "Purple Rain", which sold 10 million copies in the United States alone. Over the years Prince has continued to build on his legacy, releasing 10-platinum selling albums, and winning several Grammys awards. NBC's "America's Got Talent" drew in 15.3 million viewers, its biggest installment yet, and a head of last summer's opener. The show is certainly off to a great start. For country music fans, the CMT Awards air tonight, and another episode of "The Middle" airs as well. On the tube: "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, "Undercover Boss" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "Minute To Win It" on NBC. Happy hump day!
