Rapper Trina dusted off Paula Abdul’s 1991 career-ending MTV performance outfit for the music video for her new single “Million Dollar Girl”, which features dime diva Keri Hilson and egomaniac mogul Diddy.

The sexy clip was shot by hip-hop director Gil Green, and basically just consists of Trina and Keri looking sexy, Diddy carrying on about how rich he is, and then more shots of Trina and Keri looking sexy again.

“Million Dollar Girl” is the first official single from Trina’s fifth album Amazin’ (May 4), and I hope the fact that it hasn’t charted yet doesn’t lead to a push back becausethe album has some top notch features and collabos to look forward to like Rico Love, Nicki Minaj, Lady GaGa, Lady Saw, Lyfe Jennings, Trey Songz and Monica.

Keri Hilson’s music video for “Change Me” featuring Akon has unexpectedly leaked online.

A  while back the song was announced as the next single from Keri’s Gold-certified debut In a Perfect World, but it seemed to vanish without a trace as Keri went to work on her sophomore album.

It’s not uncommon for music video’s to be filmed and never released, a good example being “R&B Junkie” by Janet Jackson, but I think “Change Me” probably should’ve stayed locked away in the vault because it’s not particularly good, and neither is the song when compared to some of Keri’s other material which failed to receive the single treatment.

Keri Hilson’s sophomore album could be hitting shelves sooner than we all thought, with the dime diva’s label Interscope telling Billboard that they’re aiming for a Memorial Day (May 31) release date.

The album will be preceded by a new single, tentatively due in March, but if things go according to plan we could see the song even earlier.

Joining Keri’s sophomore set will be the usual suspects of Timbaland, Danja and Polow Da Don, along with some new faces including Jeff Bhasker and rapper Drake.

In case you’re unfamiliar with Bhasker’s previous work, he’s produced for Kanye West (808’s & Heartbreak album), Kid Cudi (Man on the Moon album) and Alicia Keys (Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart).

“We’re just getting into this,” says Interscope urban music head DJ Mormile. “But we already have an idea of what we want to do. This album will continue the evolution of Keri, building off the hits ‘Knock You Down’ and ‘Turning Me On,’ which helped define her. This new album will be ‘Turning You On’ times 10.”

It sounds like we could be getting the urban Keri Hilson on this album, but the success of her pop hit “I Like” tells a different story.

What do you guys think?

“There’s girls in here, it’s crazy, talkin’ bout they need a pap smear” whines Keri Hilson as she alternates between naughty nurse and slutty streetwalker in the video for Plies new single “Medicine”.

The video is utterly ridiculous, but in a so bad it’s good kind of way.

“Medicine” has so far reached #64 on the R&B/Hip-Hop singles charts, but I’m sure with such a fabulous and classy video like this one it’ll be able to reach at least #62.

Forget “That’s My Attitude”, because femcee Trina has now dropped the first official single from her upcoming fifth album Amazin’.

“Million Dollar Girl” was produced by Mario Winans & C.P Hollywood and features Diddy and dime diva Keri Hilson, who is probably returning the favor after Trina featured on her track “Get Ya Money Up”.

Trina’s always aims for crossover success and it’s no different on her new single, and with a song as good as “Million Dollar Girl” she just might succeed and score a big hit on the Hot 100. The song has a distinctly 80’s urban-pop sound which means I’m automatically guaranteed to love it, but it also means that it should go over well in the clubs and on radio.

Sorry Nicki Minaj,  but Trina wants her thunder back!

The fabulous Jennifer Lopez wasn’t the only one performing at Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve party last night, with Keri Hilson taking the stage to perform a dance remix of her new single “I Like”.

The dime diva also performed her two hit singles “Turnin’ Me On” and “Knock You Down”, whilst the Black Eyed Peas performed their hit “Meet Me Half Way” and Robin Thicke sung “Sex Therapy”.

If Keri knows whats good for her she’ll release this “I Like” remix worldwide ASAP!

Miss Keri’s other two performances are below the cut.

Keri Hilson performed her single “I Like” on the finale of Germany’s edition of talent show Popstars. The song has been doing quite well over there, reaching #14 on the German charts.

Kerioke’s performance also included a mini Janet/Michael “Scream” breakdown which wasn’t nearly as hot as it sounds. Miss Keri sure as hell ain’t Ms Jackson, and she should know that if you can’t dance then don’t even try do Janet, it’s just not gonna work.

Anyways you can expect to see a lot more of Keri next year when she released her sophomore album. I like Keri so I hope she can prove that she’s more than a one-album-wonder.

I know I know, you thought Sean Paul’s latest album Imperial Blaze was dead in the water right? Well you’re totally right, but someone is still flogging a dead horse and they’ve just released another video from the album “Hold My Hand”.

The video is on a recession budget so it’s barely worth a watch, but the song is actually really good so it puzzles me as to why Sean didn’t release the iTunes version of the song which features Keri Hilson.

Maybe Miss Keri charges too much these days?

Check out the version featuring the Slow Dance singer below. Do you think Keri could’ve turned the song into a hit?

Sexbomb Trey Songz is about to drop a new live EP Up Close and Ready as a way to cash in on the holiday season, and he’s just released the first single “One Love” which you can check out above.

The EP should be a good way for Trey to prove that he has some talent beyond his six pack abs and hurricane tongue. It’s available on iTunes tomorrow and will include the “One Love” music video as bonus so if you like what you see (and hear) then go pick it up.

Trey has also dropped the official remix to his new single “I Invented Sex”, which features Usher & Keri Hilson. Check it out below.

Trey is really emerging as the top male in R&B right now (not including Maxwell). His album Ready was just nominated for a Grammy, whilst “I Invented Sex” sits at #2 on the R&B charts and his follow-up single “Say Ahh” is at #12 and climbing.

Now that Chris Brown has moved in a more pop direction it looks like Trey is really trying to cement his spot in urban music. Thanks to Yk2 Daily for this.

She may have only released her debut album In a Perfect World… this past March, but Keri Hilson isn’t wasting any time with new plans to head straight into the studio to begin recording her official sophomore album.

“2010 will be a very good year for myself… At the end of this year in December I’m going to lock down [and] go in the studio. December/January/February I’m going to be working on my next album, and writing for other artists.”

Are you ready for more Miss Keri so soon? She got off to a pretty rough start in the beginning with some flop singles and countless album pushbacks, not to mention some major drama with Ciara & Beyonce, but by the end of it all she had two smash hits to her name and a Gold certified album.

Do you Keri should stick with her urban sound, or go pop like her song “I Like”?
