His “Ride” collaborator is also excited to reunite with him onstage. “The Billboard Music Awards is one of best awards shows to honor chart success. My great friend Ludacris and I have also shared songs together on the Billboard chart,” said Ciara. “I look forward to sharing the stage with him on this special night. It will definitely be a night to remember!”

SNEAK PEEK: POWER SEASON 3

Season 3 finds James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) as the owner of new nightclubs, out of the drug game, and in a rekindled relationship with his first love, Angela (Lela Loren)—the AUSA sworn to bring him to justice. But just as they begin to believe James’ past criminal persona of “Ghost” may finally be behind them, both are forced to face the consequences of running from a life from which no one gets away clean—especially with the fate of Kanan (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), and the motives of Lobos (Enrique Murciano) remaining a mystery. 

James’ estranged best friend Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) has just reunited with his newly returned love, Holly, but he must attempt the insurmountable task to not only rebuild Lobos’ devastated drug organization, but to kill Ghost—turning brother against brother. Check out the trailer inside.


With her marriage to James in shambles, Tasha (Naturi Naughton) adapts to life without her husband by her side. She’ll find new purpose with old skills while trying to protect her children from the repercussions of life in the drug game and Ghost’s fateful past decisions.

He’s on the verge of having everything he’s ever wanted, but will this new phase of James St. Patrick’s life end before it begins with old sins and the specter of “Ghost” coming back to haunt him? Be careful what you wish for.

“Power” premieres in July on Starz with ten hour-long episodes third season. Courtney A. Kemp serves as the Creator, Showrunner and Executive Producer of “Power.” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Mark Canton, Randell Emmett and Gary Lennon serve as Executive Producers on “Power.”

The show is also produced by G-Unit Films and Television, the production company launched by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

UNBREAKABLE JANET JACKSON SORTA. ? ANNOUNCES SHE'S PREGNANT!

Janet Jackson shocked her fans by posting a video on Instagram.com this morning to announce she is postponing her tour in order to start a family with her husband, Wissam al Mana.

Apparently the 49-year-old pop icon is joining the ranks of female stars who are having babies later in life.

Since having sex doesn’t require postponing a world tour, we are left to assume that Jackson is undergoing in vitro fertilization to get pregnant.

The IVF process makes pregnancy possible for wealthy women, such as celebrities, who could not have children in their 40s or 50s.

Currently the IVF process is mainly available to women who are financially well off. Insurance only covers fertility treatments in about 15 states.

Congrats to Ms. Jackson!
