Reunited! On the season finale of Growing Up Hip Hop, Rev Run's daughter, Angela Simmons, catches up with her former flame, Bow Wow.
In Et’s exclusive sneak peek of the new episode airing on Thursday, Simmons and Kristinia DeBarge (daughter of James DeBarge) have a girls night out in New York City, where she unexpectedly runs into Bow Wow.
Simmons and Bow Wow haven’t spoken in a while, and there's lots to talk about. For starters, Simmons asks Bow Wow if he's thinking about getting married, but when it comes to holy matrimony, he’s not “built for that s**t.”

The title of rapper and comedian Nick Cannon’s directorial film debut (which he also wrote and produced) is a bit of a misnomer. Though it does climax with a song and dance competition, School Dance—which sounds like it is focused on typical prom drama—centers more around gang violence amidst a high school lock in. More surprising, however, is that Cannon draws much inspiration for this film from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet (going even so far as to actually quote the play at one particularly odd moment). Once again the iconic play is set in a high school. But this time the Jets are The Ranger$, the popular African American boys who “run the school” with their incredible rapping and dance skills. They attract the attention of young Romeo, or Jason (Bobb’e J. Thompson), who wants to join them to win the attention of his fair Juliet,...

It was a good week for country music, though not necessarily for music sales as a whole, as duo Sugarland notch a #1 debut on next week's Billboard 200 chart for their first live album, Live on the Inside, a Wal-Mart exclusive that moved a modest 76,000 in its first week. The other top debut next week will be from Taylor Swift opening act Gloriana, whose self-titled debut will hit #3 on sales of 44,000, according to the latest numbers provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
The only other debut in a very slow week on the charts is the #10 showing by Kidz Bop Kids' Kidz Bop 16, which sold 34,000 copies. And while most of the other usual suspects in the top 10 suffered double-digit sales drop-offs, the resurgent Kings of Leon once again move up the charts,...

Kristinia DeBarge has filmed an accompanying music video for her new single "Sabotage". A footage from its shooting location has been found, giving a clue on what to expect from the Taj-directed video.
According to Taj, the video will revolve around a girl who transforms from an innocent one into a woman who's "taking control to her own destiny [yet] doesn't know who she is". On what Kristinia does to play her role as a leading woman in the video, she said, "[I'm] concentrating on myself, really, because this is more personal [than 'Goodbye' music video]. [There are] more friends, actresses, people around and dancers ...."
"Sabotage" comes off Kristinia's debut album "Exposed" which has been in stores since late July. Up to date, there is no word on when its music video will be debuted.
In the meantime, Kristinia DeBarge is scheduled to open Britney Spears' Canadian and North American tour beginning on August 20 at Hamilton's Copps Coliseum.

Kristinia, 19, is the daughter of James DeBarge, keyboardist and a founding member of long-running R&B group DeBarge. According to her MySpace page, Kristinia had wanted to sing since the age of 3, but finally...
