In Case You Haven't Heard ...

A Quick Serving of News and Gossip from the Music Biz

Swedish songstress Robyn will escalate her popularity opening for Madonna during the Material Girl’s tour dates in Europe. The rumors of Janet Jackson joining Madonna on a few U.S. shows appear to be false, but Ms. Jackson has apparently been tapped by MTV to host a reality show where she mentors up-and-coming wannabe superstars.

While the Gorillaz recently released a “documentary” about the group’s origin called Bananz, Duffy is now being considered to sing the theme to the next James Bond flick, putting her in contention with other potentially named theme singers Beyoncé, Leona Lewis and Amy Winehouse.

For our viewing pleasure, Soul Train could possibly be coming to DVD. The 38-year-old show recently had its rights bought by MadVision Entertainment. Former Soul Train performer Lionel Richie has promised that the Commodores will reunite within the next two years.

Albums coming to a store near you include new efforts from D’Angelo (though likely not until next year) and Thalia. T-Pain and Lil Wayne are discussing a collaboration album, while Chromeo will team up with Daryl Hall for a one-shot recording that will be available next month.
