Hey, Rowland Stones! (Did you know that’s what Kelly Rowland calls her fans? Isn’t that the most amazing thing in the entire world? Forget all those obvious fanbase monikers like “Little Monsters” and “Lovatics” — 2013 is all about the Rowland Stones.) There’s good news and bad news: The good news is that K-Row is headed to the judges’ panel on The X Factor, where she’ll be providing “Kisses Down Low” glamour on a whole new platform; the bad news is that her new judging gig will force the songbird to cancel her upcoming tour with The-Dream. 

While five shows will still proceed as planned, a number of stops have been rescheduled: Kansas City, Missouri; Boston, Massachusetts; Jackson, Mississippi; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Cleveland, Ohio; and Cincinnati, Ohio. If you live in one of those cities, Kelly Rowland does not love you as much as she loves the rest of her Rowland Stones.

“Although the tour had to be rescheduled because of X Factor, I’m looking forward to bringing you guys a bigger and better show,” Rowland said in a statement to her fans. (Her fans, the Rowland Stones.) In a statement of his own, Dream said that he still plans to try to make some solo appearances in promotion of his album IV Play. Ah, well. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Especially when your cake is made of “Kelly Rowland on tour” and “Kelly Rowland on TV.” Especially when you’re a Rowland Stone. Nobody said this life would be easy.

Katy Perry is currently in the middle of an ugly Twitter spat with Chicago MC Chief Keef (well, the “ugly” part is all on Keef’s end). Perry recently tweeted about Keef’s song, “Hate Bein’ Sober,” saying “Just heard a new song on the radio called ‘I hate being sober’ I now have serious doubt for the world.” In terms of insults, that isn’t even up to the level of the light ribbing Diplo lobbed Daft Punk‘s way. Pretty harmless. Well, the eminently reasonable Chief Keef took major offense, and also took a page out of the Chris Brown Handbook of Twitter Etiquette (always a wise career move!), throwing a couple misogynistic tweets her way – including one in which he said he’d “smack the shit out of her.” Classy, bro!

For those of you not up to speed on Keef, here’s the CliffsNotes version. He’s a controversial figure in the hip-hop world, inspiring many a thinkpiece. Kanye West helped fuel the kid’s rise when he highlighted “I Don’t Like,” but rap fans are divided on Keef’s music – does he make mind-numbing bangers or does he tap into a grittiness that’s been missing from rap recently? But he’s mainly a flashpoint because of his generally contemptible behavior: Keef has been arrested on drug and gun charges, he has been involved in a shootout with police and he celebrated the death of one of his rivals via Twitter. So, yeah.

Dude’s only 17, so you can chalk this stuff up to him being a dumb, idiot teenager just like all the dumb, idiot teenagers acting like dumb idiots, but this is another off-putting episode in the rapper’s short career. Anyway, head below to see the SMH-worthy tweets.

Just heard a new song on the radio called “I hate being sober” I now have serious doubt for the world.

The last time Pharrell Williams featured on a Top 10 single in the US was in 2006, when Ludacris‘ “Money Maker” hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100. And the last time Daft Punk landed in the Top 10? Well, sorry to slam the wrecking ball into your LED-lit pyramids, but that never really happened…until this week. Buoyed no doubt by the anticipation for this past Tuesday’s (May 21) release of the duo’s fourth album Random Access Memories, the Pharrell-featuring “Get Lucky” inched its way up to #10 on the Hot 100, thus making Daft Punk’s first Top 40 hit on these shores also their first Top 10.

All of this is to say that when it comes time for the Internet to begin carting out the inevitable Song of Summer lists shortly, the Robots will no doubt be dancing among the contenders.

Chart nerds may recall that the highest Daft Punk ever previously reached on their own, single-wise, was #61 (what?), a position both “Around The World” and “One More Time” peaked at. Good one, America.

But, yeah, “Money Maker” — let’s revisit that one, shall we?

Drake and Ne-Yo aren’t the only ones getting in some studio time with TLC‘s surviving members. While those two guys are going to appear on the forthcoming TLC album, J. Cole told BBC Radio he has enlisted T-Boz and Chilli for a track on his own Born Sinner (out June 18). While Cole’s record will feature some other vocalists as well (including Miguel on the great “Power Trip”), he also pointed out the LP won’t feature any other rappers – a rare move.

Oh, and when asked if he’d ever collaborate with Cash Money’s newest signee, Paris Hilton, the MC gave an emphatic “never,” before backtracking and qualifying that he would, but only if “she said very minimal things.” Hear the full interview below.
