KING magazine is back! The “Illest Men’s Magazine Ever” is officially relaunching right on time for the holiday season.
This incarnation, newly christened The Women of KING, has undergone a few changes. To whet the appetite of the brand’s devoted fans, the magazine will be released four times a year. More importantly, like the new title suggests, The Women of KING will focus on the beautiful women that populate hip-hop’s biggest videos as well as the entertainment and modeling industry, as it did before. – XXL

Beyoncé’s first fragrance, Beyoncé Heat, doesn’t arrive in stores until February, but the singer says her fans already love it — and she loves it, too! “I’m so happy with it,” the singer tells WWD. “I’ve been working on it for a while now. I was on tour for a year, and I have meet-and-greets with fans. I’ve never in my life gotten so many compliments. Coty has their own testing, but that was my testing! The fans loved it. They were like, ‘I love that, I’m getting that, why isn’t it out right now? I need it!” The singer took inspiration for the fragrance’s name from previous tours, explaining, “A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat.’ Also, red is one of my favorite colors, as is gold.” The singer looked to the past for the bottle’s design. “I wanted something with an antique yet modern feeling,” she said. “Even with my wardrobe, I always try to find things that have a little bit of something vintage, yet still timeless and classic.” Beyoncé, who has been the face of Tommy Hilfiger’s True Star and Giorgio Armani’s Emporio Diamonds fragrances, said it was the first time she started from scratch on a project. “Everything, from the bottle design to the name and the ideas for the commercials–that’s me. When I commit to something, I do it 100 percent,” she said. Beyoncé Heat, with top notes of red vanilla orchid, magnolia, neroli and blush peach, will include eaux de parfum in three sizes, as well as a sparkling body lotion, priced between $39-$59. Look for it in department and specialty stores, like Macy’s. – People

Her self-titled debut album which dropped in ’06 was the best shit ever. Corinne Bailey Rae is back with “I’d Do It Again,” the first single from her upcoming album, The Sea, set to drop on January 26th. Corrine spoke to The Obeserver and explained how “I’d Do It Again” came about:
“It was written literally just after me and Jason had this massive disagreement, a big argument, a bad one,” she says now, faltering. “Almost as he was leaving the room, I just sat down and wrote it. It’s just about how I felt about him at that time. Even right in the middle of the worst times, I remember thinking that I would choose this exact life again, that I would do it all again. It was me saying, I’m not wishing myself out of this situation. I’m 100% committed to this person. I don’t have any regrets about this relationship even though there are all these difficult times.”
Shot on-location in NYC, “More Than Love” is the new single from Amerie’s In Love & War album. Oh right, it also features Fabolous and the video was directed by TAJ.
Take an exclusive look inside the recording studio as rapper Game and executive producer Pharrell Williams work on Game’s upcoming release, “The R.E.D. Album,” set to hit stores in February of 2010 on Interscope Records. The album is rumored to include collarborations with Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Akon and Nicki Minaj.
