Recently, Adrienne, from the troubled group 3LW, wore a t-shirt that read, "J.Ho," a mocking reference to Jennifer Lopez's clothing line. This caused an uproar at Epic Records, where an engraged Jennifer could end 3LW with a snap of the thumb. "She wants them dropped by the label," says one source. "The young girl in question has been a Jennifer Lopez fan since the beginning of her career and Jennifer is quite hurt by her actions." 3LW’s management released a public apology but insiders are calling this a publicity stunt. "Their management (family owned) is one big joke. Here is a company who begged their Internet users to call Sony and make a bid for their careers. 3LW, or what's left of them would be better off alone," says a source close to 3LW. In any case, the group is currently searching for a replacement and is looking forward to premiere of their first movie, Cheetah Girls.

Jive Records is having a hard time breaking R.Kelly's new album. The artist has released two singles, but both are receiving lukewarm reception at radio. "Ignition," went to radio three weeks ago and while the single is rising on the R&B charts, few have heard the song on the radio. "Labels do this all the time. If a track fails at radio, they release a CD on vinyl single in the hopes that buyers will see the track rise on the charts and request the song on the radio," says one Atlanta radio programmer. "I believe in R.Kelly's case, he will begin to gain support with the new single. Like Mariah, he has to visit radio stations and rebuild his relationship with listeners." Sounds like he has his work cut out for him.

Shania Twain and Faith Hill recently ran into each other and sat down and talked about the ups-and- downs of superstardom. Both seemed to be very supportive of the each other's new album releases... Has Michael Jackson gone mad? The singer, who recently spent several days testifying in a court case against him, recently hung his child from a terrace (see photo) while waving at the press below... Question? Is it just me, or is the Dixie Chicks' music starting to get interesting? Ok, maybe it's just me.
