Mario has been busy in Atlanta working on his fourth album with productions by Tricky Stewart, Darkchild, Babyface, Stargrate and Polow Da Don according to the good folks over at RAP-UP.

The former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant claimed that the new music project will be "most personal, colossal album of his career." I can say I'm definitely excited about new Mario music!



After several years bouncing back and forth in the rumor mill, the Jackson 5 plus Janet will go on a family reunion tour next year...but that's if you believe Jermaine Jackson.



As reported by Singers Room via E News, Jermanie went on to explain: "It is just the timing, so what we've been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family ... We're in the studio, we're planning on being out there next year."

Are you looking forward to see the entire Jackson clan back up on stage together? I think with Janet on board things will go out smoothly. Speaking of Janet, LL Cool J left his opening act gig for her Rock Witchu Tour according to NEWSDAY. (Is it just me or has this tour been hit with multiple setbacks?!)

UPDATE: MJ denied the Jackson 5/Janet reunion tour. Instead MJ hinted at a solo concert of his own next year. Here's what he had to say: "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them. I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon."
