"John Carter", "Project X", "Act Of Valor" and "Silent House" round out the top five films of the week. The Bobbi Kristina Brown rumors just won't end. The rumored diamond ring the teenager has been seen wearing is a ring that once belonged to her mother Whitney Houston. Stepbrother Nick has denied reports that the two are in a relationship, but only time will tell where things will go from here. Hip hop label Cash Money Records is in trouble again, but not for non payment of royalties. Music giant EMI is suing the label for non payment. There's no word on a court date as yet. Former Murder Inc. artist Ashanti is back in the limelight after a four year absence. The singer was recently interviewed at Philadelphia radio station Power 99 where she discussed making amends with former lablemate Ja Rule before his recent prison stint and former label boss Irv Gotti as well. The Grammy winner stated that there's no animosity between she and her former cohorts, and time has healed the wounds. She's set to release her first album since 2008's "The Declaration" titled "Braveheart". The album features guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, R. Kelly, Rico Love and Keyshia Cole. She performs a duet with Cole, but there's no word on whether it will be released as a single. She also has several film projects in the works as well, starting with a role in the sequel to the film "Coach Carter". She also has a role in the film "I Love Cinema". It's great to see the former First Lady of Murder Inc. back on the scene. The Oprah Winfrey owned OWN Network has dropped actress/comedian Rosie O'Donnell from it's network. The comedian's talk show didn't do as well as expected in the ratings. No word on a replacement series as yet. The network has been struggling for some time now, and it remains to be seen what will be done to turn things around. ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" premiers tonight and it's sure to an exciting season. Sherri Shepard, Gladys Knight and Jaleel White are among the contestants who will be competing this season. On the tube: "House" on Fox, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC and "The Voice" on NBC. Happy Monday!
