Is Beyonce' losing her edge; 3LW has a new lease on a career; Whitney Houston's new video mirrors famous movie.

Just months before the release of her solo debut, Knowles and family has leaked "In Da Club." Not only does the title sound familiar but so does the lyrics, melody, and backing instrumental. Remember months ago, Beyonce (along with Jay Z) was part of the, "Me and My Boyfriend," heist which landed Toni Braxton on Wendy Williams' show, praying for the survival of her children. With this track not only does she borrow from the 50 Cent camp, but she also slashes Mary J. Blige who just the week before leaked "Hooked," which also borrows the music from 50 Cent, but features the rapper and P. Diddy on the track. "Mary J. Blige's version is bangin'. She added a little spice to the track and wrote her own lyrics. Also, with 50 Cent and P.Diddy added in the mix she will gain respect in the street," a New York DJ says. "Beyonce is trying to steal someone else's shine again -- but it won‚t fly in New York. When "Bonnie & Clyde" was released, one radio station here cut her vocals out and replaced them with Braxton's. It's definitely not a good start to a solo career." Columbia, Beyonce's management, and 50 Cent's camp says "no comment."

While rumors spread that Sony would drop the trio turned duo and now trio again, 3LW's management continued their search for a third member. Now, with the new addition, Sony sees things in a different light. "They are very pleased with the cheetah girls. There was a lot of speculation, but 3LW have been working on new material and planning a summer tour." The source adds, "They should have a new single [included on a soundtrack] with the new member out by summer."

Nick Lachey is planning his solo debut with a video, "Shut Up." His wife Jessica Simpson is also finishing up her third album which will include a duet with husband and production from Missy Elliott...Whitney Houston's latest video for "On My Own" is said to be based on the popular movie from the 1970s Lady Sings The Blues, which starred Diana Ross as Billie Holiday (a popular jazz singer who died of a drug overdose)..."Don't act like you don't know where I be, "you can find me in da club bottle full of water, I got what you wanna read so come give me some love...tomorrow that is."
