Tuesday Tales

Reportedly singer Rihanna is tired and burned out, at least that's the rumor circulating. Pictures of the singer have surfaced on the internet with what appears to be bruises on her legs. The singer's representatives are calling them sores. At any rate, let's hope the singer's well being is considered by all around her and she takes a break before suffering a breakdown. Legendary West Coast rapper Ice Cube is set to add television star to his list of accomplishments. He's reportedly inked a deal to star in a drama series in which he'll play a veteran paramedic. There's been no word on when the series will air. Cable network VH1 has announced that it has found a replacement for the show "Single Ladies". Fans will recall that actress Stacy Dash was fired from the show with no explanation given. There's been no word on when new episodes with the new cast member will air. Wu Tang Clan member RZA is the latest artist to start a line of headphones. The  headphones reportedly have lights that laminate with the music as one listens. The headsets are in stores now. Both "Love & Hip Hop" and "The T.I. & Tiny" show aired with plenty of drama for fans. Be sure to keep watching as the season progresses. Both shows are sure to provide fans with all the drama they can handle. Rumors have surfaced that rapper Jay Z has signed "The X Factor" contestant Brian "Astro" Bradley to his Rock Nation. Stopping by "106 & Park", the Brooklyn MC dispelled the rumor and discussed his experience on the hit Fox show. He says he learned how to handle things better. While there's been no word on a debut album he says he'd like to work with Jay Z, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams, although he doesn't want to add too many guest spots to his debut. At any rate, here's wishing the rising star much success in the industry. Robin Thicke and The Roots have new music in stores this week. On DVD: "Cowboys & Aliens", "Mr Popper's Penguins", "The Help" and "The Hangover Pt 2". On the tube: "Glee" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Last Man Standing" on ABC and "A Michael Buble Christmas" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
