Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin told BBC 1Xtra's TXU show that she almost cast Corinne as one of the characters in her new her musical Aretha: From These Roots in Detroit, but changed her mind after seeing her on TV.
She said: "Yeah, I just saw Corinne. I thought she was very nice - she's a very nice singer.
"I almost cast her as one of the characters in my play and in the movie, but when I saw her on TV... well, her pictures look one way and when I saw her on TV she looked a little different so I don't think so."

Paris goes to Prison
So media slut, Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. This is the best news I have heard all year, finally there is some justice in the world. These celebrities think they can go around breaking the law and not suffer the consequences but not this time all the money in the world didn't help Paris.Lol! If she does spend any time in the slammer, (which I doubt by next week it will surely be reduced to community service) filming of "The Simple Life" will be disrupted but producers could always change it to "The Prison Life".
He has a style that is undeniably fresh, surrounded by a crew that emulates HBO's Entourage quad. At 21 years old, this Chi-town native is quietly plotting his take over of the phenomenon we know as Hip Hop. Possessing a flow that sounds as classic as a Marvin Gaye tune, with charisma more contagious then the common cold, Yung Berg is the definition of what happens when skills and swagger are pooled into one powerhouse.
Previously signed to DMX's Bloodline Records, Yung Berg got his first taste of the music business at the age of 15. Unfortunately Yung Berg's bite of success left a bad taste in his parent's mouths, which lead to a mandatory relocation to military school in 2001. This move would prove to be a blessing in disguise; with no television or radio available, it forced the budding lyricist to develop and hone a style all his own, free of the influences of the wave of hip hop that was popular at the time.
Yung Berg decided to take a different road to stardom upon his return in 2003. Berg refocused his energy and decided that learning the "behind the scenes" aspect of the business was going to propel his career to the next level. So in 2005 he signed on as a hype man for Disturbing The Peace's first lady of rap, Shawnna. The entrepreneur in Berg was cultivated during this time. Embodying every quality of a true leader, Berg launched his own entertainment venture - the Yung Boss imprint - currently comprised of a roster of equally talented producers and emcees.
"We're setting the standard for what's acceptable," says Berg. "Every other young dude was put on; we're putting ourselves on."
Now a little older and a lot wiser, Yung Berg is signed to Epic Records, gearing up to release his debut album, Look What You Made Me. The record boasts a wide variety of material ranging from specially crafted songs for the ladies to street anthems made to resonate in anyone's "hood". Look What You Made Me is Yung Berg's story in his own words and is poised to be one of the best new releases of 2007. Having snagged writing credits on albums for some of hip hop's elite including Shawnna and Eve and dropping verses on mixtapes for the likes of Clinton Sparks, Young Berg is guaranteed to bring that same spark and energy to his own project.
OMG! Yes I did indeed gasp when I saw this picture. Serena is really working her new look, I have to give her credit she looks fab here. There are a few minor adjustments she still needs to make but for her this is a major upgrade! I hope she keeps it up its a really good look on her!

Melanie B went out for a bite to eat with her Spice Girl pals @ the Ivy last night
Oh, on the Eddie Murphy drama tip, Mel has insisted that the baby was planned. This mess is getting way out of hand as I've said before Eddie should just do the damn DNA test and get it over and done with. The longer he waits the more agitated Mel gets and although she admits she is still in love with him, we all know there is nothing like a woman scorned and Eddie is really pushing it now!
