Wednesday Roundup

A boxing promoter is looking to capitalize on the recent Chris Brown/Drake brawl. He's offering the two one million dollars each to participate in a boxing match, with proceeds going to help abused women. So far, no response from either. Rapper 50 Cent is recovering from back and neck injuiries suffered in a car accident. As mentioned previously, a mat truck rear-ended his SUV. The G-Unit general has been released from the hospital, and his representatives say he's doing well. A photographer was taught that no means no when it comes to Rihanna. As the gentleman attempted to take a picture of the star, he was reportedly slapped by her bodyguard. So far, no word on any charges being pressed. Grammy Award winning singer Alicia Keys is on the verge of releasing a new album soon. The singer posted a video message to fans updating them on the album's status and added that she's entered a new phase of her life. While she didn't give away the title of her new album, which will be her fifth, she did tweet #AKNew Day, leading some to speculate that the album will be called New Day. Fans should have more great music to look forward to. Teen sensation Justin Bieber continues his reign on the charts. His sophomore album, "Believe", which hit stores on June 19, sold 374,000 copies it's first week, marking it Justin's biggest chart debut yet. The album edged out Madonna's MDNA for top honors on Billboard this year, besting Madge's 359,000 debut in March. The album is lead by the singles "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me" featuring Big Sean. He may have some serious competition though. Chris Brown's new album, "Fortune", is due in stores next week. "America's Got Talent" continues tonight as contestants via for the grand prize. Although summer has just begun, the major networks have all begun giving viewers sneak peeks at their fall line ups. While it too early to tell which shows will be hits, some do appear to be worth watching. On the tube: "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, "Dogs In The City" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "U.S. Olympic Trials" on NBC. Happy hump day!
