NEWSSOURCEDOTCOM: JANET JACKSON

New Janet Jackson Album Due In February Borys Kit, The Hollywood Reporter

Janet Jackson's as-yet-untitled debut album for Island Def Jam will be released in February. The artist is also prepping a worldwide tour to promote the follow-up to 2006's "20 Y.O." In addition, Jackson has signed with the William Morris Agency for representation in all areas. Jackson comes to the company after a starring role in Tyler Perry's hit "Why Did I Get Married?" She will be repped by a team of agents led by Dave Wirtschafter and Charles King that will run across multiple divisions of the agency, including film, touring, licensing and merchandising, television, theater, publishing and new technology. Jackson said she was attracted to the agency because of its long history. She continues to be repped by managers Johnny Wright and Kenneth Crear as well as attorney Don Passman. As for Jackson's new album, it is being executive produced by Def Jam CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid rather than Jackson's boyfriend, Island Urban president Jermaine Dupri.

Greetings Loveboxers!

What an autumn it's been for us here at Lovebox. Following Groove Armada's sold out 10th anniversary 'GA10' UK tour, which we wrapped up with one seriously good (and seriously over subscribed, sorry if you were locked out!) after party in London, we bring more good tidings your way - in the shape of a December Winter Ball AND a new 12 inch featuring four remixes AND some hot sounds for the cold winter months in the shape of a free downloadable mix from Severino taken from the epic June Boat Party.

Andy, Tom and The Lovebox Allstars partied on with a smashin' crowd at the sold out after party at Brixton's Dex Club. The loft room was beautifully warmed up by daddy disco, Frank Tope, before The RGB's performed their unique synthy electro pop, taking to the stage like fluorescent ducks to water. The US soul legend Gwen McCrae then stepped up to the mic and rare grooved some fancy footwork while she belted out her house hits. Her dynamic set had the crowd on their knees and eating out of the hands of the hosts, who DJd to the early hours.

Missed out? Well make sure that doesn't happen again. Tickets for our Winter Ball on Saturday December 8th are selling fast. We're laying on a proper yuletide boogie for you to get all cheerily festive at. Expect an electrifying 4-deck party throw-down from The Nextmen, italo-house from Horsemeat Disco's legendary Severino, and everything from Dizzee Rascal to Girls Aloud from Sonny J, a turntablist into 70s soul, TV and film tracks and 21st-century psychedelic soul. We've also got Radio One's ambassador of-all-that's-cool-in-new-music Rob da Bank, the new live sensation The RGB's (its those ladies with their keyboards again), The Black Ghosts (Simian's Simon Lord and The Wiseguys' Theo Keating), Zach Beers, who's coming out of retirement to demonstrate why he is one of the country's finest purveyors of rare and northern soul, plus John Young and
The Lovebox Allstars.

Leftfield disco, rare groove, soul classic, dirty funk nuggets and a few Christmas surprises. It's sure to sell out so hurry, hurry...

Tickets available from Ticketweb.co.uk

Kevin Dubrow, 52, Quiet Riot frontman

Singer found dead in Las Vegas home

By VARIETY STAFF

Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead Sunday in a Las Vegas home. He was 52.

The cause and manner of death were not immediately known, pending an autopsy and toxicology results, said the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of the song “Cum on Feel the Noize.”

"I can't even find words to say," Banali wrote. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow." *

Though DuBrow was open about his substance-abuse issues -- last year's Quiet Riot album was titled "Rehab" and contained the track "Old Habits Die Hard" -- his recent health had been good. Quiet Riot finished a substantial U.S. tour in September.*

Quiet Riot’s most recent album was “Rehab” in 2006.
