It's been awhile, hasn't it?!

While Missy Elliot and Timbaland continue to produce hit after hit, their solo projects have taken a back seat.

Now, this producing duo will be taking their tracks into their own hands!

Timz states the following about the upcoming albums:

Famed producer Timbaland has battled many things in his career.

But he has also been a smashing sucess in the music business.

Working with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot, Nelly Furtado, and Dr. Dre, he has been a force since the early 90s.

With E!'s True Hollywood Story, Timbaland reveals some of his demons.

He admits to loving the late Aaliyah but chose to be a big brother type.

He states the following:

When I first met Aaliyah—it time for the world to hear this, I'm gonna give a little secret—I was in love with her. I said, But I'm not…She just a baby, I'm old. I said to myself, 'I'm just gonna be her brother.' Oh man, I was fightin', I was fightin' a lot—a big war. But I loved Aaliyah.

Aaliyah signed a record deal at 12 and allegedly married R. Kelly at 15.

She tragically passed away at 22 in a 2001 plane crash.

Timbaland also talks about his weight and his suicidal thoughts.

I was almost 400 pounds. Who wants to be a 400-pound black man? I'm looking in the mirror, my breast is bigger than a girl breast. And I was saying, ‘That ain't cool.' So I got very depressed, like suicidal depressed.

But now, the superstar producer is married and healthier.

Timbaland's Story airs Tuesday, December 20th.

All right! She took him up on his offer!

A few months back, when Demi Lovato was still in rehab receiving treatment for her bipolar disorder and other, various issues, Timbaland posted a video message on YouTube requesting to work with her on some new material for an album, and it appears as though she has agreed!

What an inspiration!

Back in May, we heard that Missy Elliot would be the focus of the June 29th season premiere episode of VH1's Behind the Music.

Here's what the show's executive producer Brad Abramson said about it at the time:

Many of you might not remember, but Nelly Furtado and Timbaland had been locked in a legal battle with Kernal Records over a copyright dispute for their song Do It.

Well, the good news for them is that the $20 million dollar lawsuit has been thrown out by the judge, and everybody but the Finnish record label is happy!

Here's what Timba's rep had to say:

She's baaaaack!

Despite all her record label woes, Ciara isn't letting all the dramz get her down.

She'll be touring with Timbaland in South Africa and Zimbabwe beginning at the end of this month.

The two, along with some other guests including Fat Joe and Lil' Kim, will go on a 4 date mini tour in Johanesburg, Durban, Nelspruit, and Harare.

This will be such a boost for Ci's career. She definitely needs this right now. So happy things are looking up for you, gurl! Have fun touring!
