Shakira's new album, She-Wolf, has already been pushed back more than once and now her label has just announced that it will be released on November 23rd and will contain her newest Timbaland-produced single, Give It Up To Me featuring law-breaker Lil' Wayne.

BAD move!!!!

Shakira will now be going up against Lady GaGa's Fame Monster, Rihanna's Rated R, Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment and Britney Spears' The Singles Collection.

All those albums will be released on November 23rd too!!!!!!

Yikes! She certainly won't take the top spot up against all that competition!

What was her label thinking?!?! They're setting her up for failure!

With the economy in the shitter (and especially during the holidays), what a bad time to screw someone out of money.

But Timbaland apparently doesn't care!

It seems the musician wanted to decorate his Miami mansion for the holidays. So he purchased lots of flowers and lights from The White Tulip Florist in Miami Beach.

The bad part? He still owes them thousands of dollars on his bill!

The florida florists are claiming the rapper owes them over $10,000 in decorations. And they're suing for it.

The company has filed legal papers to put a lien on Timbaland's mansion since they claim he purchased $25,850 worth of flowers, trees, and lights. And he still owes them $11,450!

And according to reports, the rapper was upset once he viewed the bill and demanded to see the wholesale cost of the items he had purchased. But even after seeing the list of prices he still didn't pay up.

Stupid. That's why you ask for the prices BEFORE you buy anything.

Timbaland is coming out with a new album, and - once again - the record is brimming with some A-list superstars!

Shock Value: Volume 2, the follow-up to his 2007 release, is due in stores February 14th, and once again features his frequent collaborator Justin Timberdouche.

J.T. sing's on the album's lead single, Meltdown, alongside Gwen Stefani.

The song will be released to radio on January 5th, so expect it to leak on the Internets shortly before then.

MTV got a preview of some of the tracks, and here's what they have to report:

Meltdown
– The first single from the album, featuring guest vocals from Gwen Stefani and old-time collaborator Justin Timberlake is a typical Timbaland club-stomper, with thumping chorus in which Justin and Gwen
invite one another to ‘melt down; all the way’.

That’s The Way
– Featuring Usher and Keri Hilson on vocals, this throwback track samples the classic KC and the Sunshine band track, That’s The Way I Like It but with a sultry new twist reminiscent of Usher’s own Love In This Club single.

Dumb
– The rockiest of the tracks, featuring the group of the moment, the Jonas Brothers. Beginning as seemingly regular teenage, High School Musical-esque song, it soon
breaks out into a crazy whirl-of-a-track that is about an unnecessary break-up.

Accross The Sky
- a leftover track from Madonna's Hard Candy album, which Timbaland produced many tracks for. However, this version has been completely reworked from the original leaked clip that has appeared online. Now a much darker track similar to the Hard Candy track, Voices. With guest vocals from Justin Timberlake (again) and a brief appearance from the lady herself, Madonna, this song is longest of the tracks, clocking in at over 7
minutes!

Underground
– This one is definitely our favourite. Featuring a heavy sample of the classic dance track
Sandstorm by Darude, this is unlike anything Timbaland has done before. With incredible quest vocals from Rihanna, this song is one to watch out for. It has to be a single!

Othe guests on the album include T-Pain, Akon, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, Jordin Sparks, T.I., Flo-Rida, and Coolio.

Sounds hawt!

Another day, another lawsuit filed.

Music man Timbaland has sued an Australian promoter, Showtime, for breach of contract.

The suit is related to his cancelled Oz tour.

Timbo's lawyer said T wanted to "set the record straight" for his Australian fans about the "last minute cancellation".

He went on to say, "Despite Timbaland's desire to perform for his Australia and New Zealand fans, he was unable to do so. From the moment the parties signed the contract at issue, Showtime breached its obligations."

Apparently, Showtime had agreed to pay Timbaland $1.26 million OZ dollars for the tour but had failed to make the required payments.

The lawyer added, "Timbaland initially offered to postpone the tour dates to permit Showtime to get its act together so that he could entertain his fans. Showtime, however, was still unable to comply with its basic contractual obligations, including failing to pay the guaranteed due under the contract and failing to provide the required production elements for the tour. As a result, on the eve of Timberland's first scheduled appearance, Showtime announced the official cancellation of the tour, disappointing hundreds of thousands of ticket-holding fans and subjecting Timbaland to considerable backlash in the Australian press, which falsely reported that the cancellation was due to Timbaland's wedding and honeymoon."

The Oz concerts were supposed to happen in July/August.

It's September!

They're just getting around to telling Timberland's side of the story now?

Interesting.

Timbaland is going to have a lot of angry Australian fans. Actually, he might not have any Aussie fans left after this!

The rapper was set to start his 2008 Australian tour overseas this week.

He was originally set to begin the tour in July, though he rescheduled the date and pushed it back to August.

Timbaland was then scheduled to open his tour in Sydney on Friday, August 15th at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with tickets going for $98.70 – $122.65.

However, with only two days left before the concert, he's CANCELLED the tour!

WTF?!?

Wonder if his ticket sales were so low they figured it would be best to cancel it all together.

Ticket holders got the following email sent to them. An "apology" letter by Ticketmaster, stating:

Subject: Timbaland Sydney Cancelled
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:34:01 +1000
From: CC.Service@ticketmaster.com.au

About half of Madonna's album leaked onto the Internet this weekend.

In total, six songs hit the net.

They are:

Heartbeat
Give It 2 Me
Miles Away
Incredible
She's Not Me
Beat Goes On

And, we must say: we're relieved!

The songs aren't straight up hip hop, as we were concerned, especially by the choice of 4 Minutes as the single.

The new material still stays true to Madonna's core as a pop/dance artist.

Oh, and by the way, the Pharrell songs blow Timbaland's out of the water!

Get stupid! Get stupid! Don't stop!

It would be this dude!

Timbaland debuted his new protege on Saturday at the NRJ Music Awards.

He's some French dude named M. Pokora.

He's kinda hot….if it was still 1998!

Click here to watch his boyband moves and Timbo-produced song Dangerous.
