Kids grow up so quickly these days. Just last year Lil' Mama was rapping about lip gloss and now, well, the title says it all. I like that they're flying around in the same spaceship from Michael Jackson's "Scream" video. Nice touch Mama. [Source]

Her self-titled album is tentatively scheduled to be released in April.

Apparently, The Powers That Be felt that the United States needed a reworked video for Leona Lewis' international hit "Bleeding Love." Gone are the images of lovelorn desperation and possible suicide, replaced by an angsty Leona, aimlessly wandering through Times Square. Get it folks? She's in America now!
