With so much talk about the epic matchup of Jay-z and Kanye West on the just-released Watch the Throne, we wondered whether something similar could ever exist in the pop world. Sure, the New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys managed to rekindle our love of boy bands with their joint tour this summer, but could two pop divas get together and drop an album in the way Hova and Yeezy have?
There have been hints of Throne-like pop collabos over the past decade thanks to ladies like Madonna and Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, but nothing as extensive as a full-length album like Wtt. So, could something like that ever happen?
Well, it...

Once a fixture on Bet (Black Entertainment Television) from the late 80s through the early 2000s, Ed Gordon has returned to the network.
The journalist joined the cable TV station in 1988, but left to pursue other opportunities (60 Minutes II, Today, Dateline, NPR) soon after his Bet Tonight With Ed Gordon program was canceled eight years ago by Bet, a couple of years after Robert Johnson sold the station to Viacom. If I recall, Gordon’s exit wasn’t exactly amicable. He publicly criticized Bet, and lamented its demise.
Gordon will reportedly settle back in with Bet’s news division and contribute to various programs and specials.
“As Bet celebrates its 30th anniversary, it brings me great joy to welcome back one of America’s most prominent news personalities,” said network chairman and CEO Debra Lee.
So, do you care? Will this bring you back to Bet if you’re one...

NEW YORK -- BET Nightly News will be canceled in a late-summer shuffling of BET's news and public affairs programming in favor of a string of hourly news briefs and an expansion of public-affairs specials. The nightly news program, which returned to its 11 p.m. time slot in September 2000, is the latest of several news and public affairs shows to be canceled by BET since it was purchased by Viacom in 2000. Two other shows, BET Tonight (hosted by Tavis Smiley and Ed Gordon at various times during its run) and Lead Story were canceled in 2002. The half-hour newscast will be replaced by hourly news briefs from 10 a.m.-11 p.m. every day, including primetime. BET said its partnership with CBS News and CBS Newspath, also owned by Viacom, would help with additional news content.
