One thing you hope for when Justin Timberlake agrees to host a party is that maybe some of his friends (like Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, the Black Eyed Peas, etc.) will show. He joined Nelly Furtado for?Promiscuous,? natch, then called Justin back up to the stage for his new single,?Give It to Me.?

Do you think rappers are conflicted: on the one hand they're rapping about the rough upbringing they might have had, which historically has been the way people vent about their lives, and then on the other are trying to be good citizens? (Nelly, for instance, is known for his misogynistic lyrics but at the same time he gives back to the community through various philanthropic efforts.)

Cara Harrington : Nelly's dress is a trim away from being hot.
Lisa Timmons : As much as I think Brooke Hogan is a nice girl--I really believe that--I don't understand how she consistently looks like a drag queen doing Gwen Stefani. She still looks like a hooker trying too hard not to look like a hooker, though.

Bow Wow's next album is on Dupri's to-do list, as are records from 3LW, JoJo, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Frankie J, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nelly, Usher ("We gonna start on his record at the end of the year") and Mariah Carey once she gets off tour.
"It's a duet between her and Nelly," Dupri said. We don't just have a record that's just a Nelly and Janet record.

"Caged Bird," Alicia Keys "Bird in a Cage," Old 97's "Promiscuous Girl," Nelly Furtado "I'm Like a Bird," Nelly Furtado "Rusty Cage," Soundgarden "Birdcage," Wallflowers "The Cage," Elton John "La Cage Aux Folles," Original Soundtrack

This brings artists like Kanye West, Sting, Nelly Furtado and Jay Z to the table, but it doesn't change my point of view.

Among those reportedly running from the scene: Jessica Simpson, Dane Cook, Mischa Barton, Brandon Routh, the Olsen twins and Nelly Furtado.

This summer is shaping up to be musically hot summer with new music from Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Scissor Sisters, and the comeback of the year Nelly Furtado.
