Four time US Figure Skating Champions, Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, want to spice up Ice Dance championships with a Hip Hop flare. They recently revealed a routine at the Marshall Showcase to a Justin Timberlake soundtrack. The music theme for the next skating season is folk and the International Skating Union is encourages skaters to use music from their culture. There are no strict guidelines so Agosto and Belbin plan to incorporate Hip Hop into future routines to open up their audiences.

Bow Wow joined Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (Nationwide) at Sam Houston High School to encourage students to stay safe and sober during their prom festivities. During the prom weekends of 2005, 290 teenagers aged 15-20 were killed in alcohol related crashes. In light of the high death toll, MADD, has been making stops at several schools to promote safety. Bow Wow spoke on his struggle to abstain from underage drinking and drug use as a celebrity and performs singles from his album The Price of Fame.

Seems like everyone from Britney to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson plan to infuse Hip Hop into their comeback albums. Rumor has it that in a few weeks, MJ will release his single Trial of The Century featuring 50 cent, Lucy Diamond, and DJ Whoo Kid.

MJs collabs dont end there. DJ Whoo Kid will release MJs mixtape, MJ Unit The Takeover in the near future and will feature five unreleased Jackson tracks.

Currently, Michael Jackson is said to be in either Bahrain (a small country off the Persian Gulf) or Las Vegas and is working on other tracks for his anticipated LP.
