Rumor: Amerie on Island Def Jam?

Late last year, EW.com reported that Amerie had been dropped from her label Columbia Records. There have been a few signs that lead us to believe that the R&B singer is in the process of signing or has already signed a new deal with Island Def Jam. Amerie’s third album Because I Love It was never released in the U.S.

For one, Amerie appeared on Chingy’s first single, “Fly Like Me.” Chingy is signed to Def Jam. Last month, Amerie appeared at the birthday party for Island Def Jam executive VP of A&R Karen Kwak. And just last night, she showed up to the Island Def Jam Grammy after party toasting IDJ chairman L.A. Reid. She was a no-show at the Sony BMG after party, home to Columbia Records.

Could Amerie be making the move to Island Def Jam? It’s only speculation at this point, but all signs point in that direction.

TMZ cameras caught Aubrey O’Day calling out Diddy for ditching Danity Kane and suspiciously wouldn’t deny rumors that she was joining up with the Pussycat Dolls. View the video here. [Update: Word is that Aubrey will be a judge on the next season of The CW's Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll.]

Rumors circulated earlier this week when Wendy Williams reported that D. Woods was leaving the group to pursue acting.

Dawn Richard told Rap-Up TV that Danity Kane was still together and was considering doing another reality show for MTV later this year. They were also scheduled to start recording their next album.

Seems like each girl has her own story.

The New York Daily News reports that Ciara and 50 Cent have been seeing a lot of each other since collaborating on “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone” off Ciara’s new album. The two were together Thursday night, looking like a couple trying not to look like a couple. The rapper was spotted in his car in LeFrak City with “Ciara in the backseat, attempting not to be seen,” said a source. Another source describe the pair to us as “a new underground couple.”

How do you go from Bow Wow to 50 Cent? Ciara has said that she wants a man like her father. Is 50 that man?
