It's been over four years since Annie Lennox released an original album. No doubt, then, this fall's offering will be pull out all the stops.

According to perpetually wet gossips, pool party, the former Eurythmics singer has enlisted the help of Madonna, Mary J. Blige and Kelis, among others for her forthcoming full-length.

This is a Sweet Dream come true!

Kelis has the White Party producers seeing red. The "Bossy" singer appeared performed at the gay event this weekend, but most likely won't be again.

Mouthpiece Terry Nguyen blasted the event, saying:

There were many missteps behind the scenes which created a less than suitable environment for any artist to perform. Because of her love for her fans, Kelis made the decision to take the stage, against any advice not to do so.

...Any unsuitable conditions were created by Kelis, who refused to rehearse for her show and arrived two hours late. Behind the scenes, I spent two weeks preparing an elaborate production number built entirely around Kelis, and when it came time to do the show, she was completely unprepared.

Perhaps her stand-in, who had to fill in when Kelis refused to participate in rehearsals, is more qualified to comment on the conditions at WP 2007, since she spent way more time at the event than Kelis ever did.

It's been over 48 hours since Out Magazine's annual Out 100 awards: the standard length of time needed to digest all the homo happenings. We must say, we haven't seen that many gay luminaries since...well, since last year's Out 100.

We must admit, it's all a bit of a blur. Good thing we brought along our crafty camera man, Ted, who chronicled all of editor Andrew Belonsky's misadventures. While some people were more than happy to talk to us, others were a little reluctant (that's an understatement). And, as you'll see, most people didn't even know who the fuck we were. Nice, huh?

Watch as Anne Hathaway says she could bench-press our fearless editor, designer Michael Kors brags about knowing everyone, Out EIC Aaron Hicklin lets us in on the secrets behind the selection process, Noah's Arc's Wilson Cruz gripes about not being admitted into the VIP area, Kelis hypothesizes on why the homos love her and Michael Lucas gives us shit for all the nasty comments (and, it seems, attempts to win Belonsky's ice cold heart).

We also managed a few words with Claire Danes. She really wasn't in the mood to be interviewed, but Cruz and Hathaway totally used peer pressure to make our dreams come true. Thanks, homies.

Oh, yeah, and we totally chickened out on flirting with Choire Sicha. We were so close, but he looked really busy (read: intimidating).

Earlier this month we took a peek at Kelis' first single off her new album Kelis Was Here. But you'll be pleased to know the record – released on Tuesday – includes potential for another string of hits to follow the first single, "Bossy." Herewith, we bring you "Till The Wheels Fall Off," which deserves plenty of radio play (though we're not sure whether Jive plans to release it as a single).

Kelis has proved that she is not a one-hit-wonder with the release of her new single "Bossy" and the subsequent video. We actually like this song better than "Milkshake" because it really gets to the essence of her personality. The video is a trite 80s retro homage to richness, but Kelis gets bonus points for dancing like a poodle and wearing crazy metal on her teeth (see above photo).

Watch the video after the jump, and you can decide whether we will keep seeing more of Kelis or if she will be a two hit wonder.

Glenn C. Feron's celebrity client list is a who's who amongst R&B starlets and hip-hop performers. His magic has helped Beyonce, Toni Braxton, Usher, and Alicia Keys. Mr. Feron is not the hottest music producer out there. He is not the latest celebrity fashion designer. He is a photo retoucher. Beyonce's fat rolls, Alicia's acne, and Kelis' cellulite have all been erased thanks to Feron's artistry. And the before and after pictures of these and many other ladies can be found at his rather disturbing and utterly fascinating online gallery thanks to Fleshbot. It leaves us feeling good about ourselves and knowing that nobody, not even Beyonce, is perfect.
