All round goddess Nicole Scherzinger features on the cover of the UK In Style Magazine, August edition. The shots, released online today, feature Nicole looking nothing short of absolutely stunning. Oh, she also demonstrates just how flexible she really is.

FLAWLESS

In other Scherzy news, the US release of Killer Love is due to hit the shelves on 16 August (12 August in Australia). The revamped version of the album will feature up to five new tracks, including a new collaboration with Snoop Dogg titled Peep Show.

Don't Hold Your Breath is still doing well on the ARIA Singles Chart, having recently gone platinum sales status with +70,000 copies sold. Additionally, this week her latest offering with rapper 50 Cent, Right There, was released digitally [ITUNES]

[VIDEO PREMIERE] SNOOP DOGG VS DAVID GUETTA "SWEAT (DAVID GUETTA REMIX)"

Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg seems to be following suit in taking a journey down the house music road. Following in the footsteps of a variety of hip-hip, rap and R&B stars like the Black Eyed Peas and Chris Brown; Snoop has employed the talents of David Guetta to remix his 2010 single Wet.

The single, originally produced by The Cataracs (think Like a G6 with Far East Movement), was released in December 2010 and barely made an impact on the charts, anywhere. Enter Mr Guetta and three months later we have an immediate hit. Sweat (David Guetta Remix) is currently top twenty in the UK and top ten in Australia. The track is so hot here in Oz that it was the most added track to Australian radio last week, and as we speak, it's challenging Jennifer Lopez's On The Floor for the iTunes #1 downloaded track.

The video (below) is essentially a remixed version of Snoop's original Wet video - it's full of tramps, whores and two-bit hookers. But hey, who am I to judge. In fact, I may go as far as saying I think I even like it.

Hell - anything is better than than God forsaken piece of trash aka Friday by Rebecca Black (and that my dear friends, will be the last time I mention that bloody song!)

LISTEN TO NEW IAN CAREY WITH "LAST NIGHT" FEAT. BOBBY ANTHONY & SNOOP DOGG

US DJ Ian Carey is back ready to hit us with a hot new tune, collaborating with none other than hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg and Bobby Anthony. Last Night is Carey's latest track ready to hit charts and clubs globally.

The last time Carey made a splash in Australia was in 2008 under the name of The Ian Carey Project with the hit track Get Shaky. The track, which reached #2 on the ARIA Singles Chart, achieved a 2x platinum status (>140,000 copies sold).

Last Night has a good chance being another big hit for Carey. Of late we've seen a number of great dance tracks feature across the airwaves and make it (commercially that is). Think Hello (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette) and Take Over Control (Afrojack feat. Eva Simons)... and of course you have the whole David Guetta influence in the charts. Last Night provides another potential cross-over as it adds a pop element and a likeable sound.

Enjoy!

PREVIEW NEW JESSICA MAUBOY WITH "GET 'EM GIRLS" FEAT. SNOOP DOGG

Little Miss Jessica Mauboy has certainly done some growing up since her Australian Idol days. Don't get me wrong - her debut album, Been Waiting, was one of the finest pop/R&B albums from any Australian Idol alumni we've seen. It was polished, appealed the right audience, and saw J Mau clock up 6x hit singles (Burn reaching #1); with plenty of awards in tow.

Additionally, let's not forget how commerically successful the album was, selling in excess of 140,000 copies in Australia alone, scoring a 2x platinum certification.

Jump forward to today and Jess releases the lead single of her next studio album, Get 'Em Girls, which features none other than the California Gurl lover Snoop Dogg. The track was released to the Australian iTunes store today and the album (carrying the same title) is released in Australia on November 5th.

The track, with its sexy beats and attitude, was produced by Bangladesh - who's worked with artists such as Beyonce, Ludacris, Missy Elliott and MIA. In my opinion it's right where J Mau needs to be - still sexy, yet grown up just that fraction more. Think the likes of Ms Sacha Fierce herself, that's what I'm talking about.

You can hear the track on Jess's website here, and purchase the single from iTunes here. Stay tuned for the video which i'll post as soon I as I can get my hands on it!

Oh Sookie!

If you are anything like me you hang out each week for the next episode of True Blood. Vampires, werewolves, you name it, we love it.

After combing the internet for the next best piece of pop culture for you all, I stumbled upon this hysterical music video devoted to our beloved Sookie Stackhouse, by none other than Snoop Dogg. My favourite line in the song is "I'm the dog that don't bite... woof woof!"

Ha! Love it. Enjoy. And remember, True Blood airs Tuesdays on Showcase, channel 403 on Foxtel.
