Melanie Fiona and Ryan Lesile had a listening session in Atlanta last night. Melanie’s camp is definitely trying to make all the right moves for her album debut and Ryan Leslie… well, he’s just another “SWEET” story. Pop the hood to check out more pics from the event.

Thursday’s Black Eyed Peas concert, with Ludacris opening, was a celebration of energetic music, theatrical costumes, creative technology – and Atlanta itself.

Ludacris pumped the crowd up during his opening segment. Ever the entrepreneur he used part of his stage time to promote Conjure, his brand of cognac. (”Drink responsibly,” he threw in). His bit seemed to end sort of suddenly. He was still at work when the lights came on. Getting the picture he said, “I have to go!”

The show, which featured the group’s members performing together and separately (Taboo flew through the air on a motorcycle suspended from the ceiling during his bit), made innovative use of technology and at times felt like a social media conference.

“The last time we were in Atlanta was 2006? No, 2005,” will.i.am noted during the show. “The difference is this time there are no more record stores. For some reason this is our biggest year. Why? We engage with our fans online. We thank you for being our friends. This is our 11th year doing music. We’ve sold a lot of records and the reason why is you guys!”

The fan-friendly set list, including “Rock that Body” and “Now Generation” off The E.N.D. to “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Fergalicious” and “Glamorous” off Fergie’s solo album, Duchess, and “My Humps” off  Monkey Business, didn’t disappoint. But will.i.am’s mixing session, where he sampled everything from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Guns and Roses to Michael Jackson to Kings of Leon to Nirvana, was a highlight of the night. Meshing tech and talent, he freestyle rapped early in the show, working in lines text-messaged from fans. As the random thoughts appeared on a big screen he worked them into his rhymes. Fergie, her many different costumes and her, uh, assets took center stage often, with strategic camera close-ups capturing those lovely lady lumps to great effect.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has signed off on a deal giving John Branca and John McClain, the administrators of Michael Jackson’s estate, a ten-percent cut of the estate’s profits.

Per the terms of the approved agreement, Branca and McClain will split 10 percent of the profits they net — excluding profits from Jackson’s concert film ‘This is It’ and the late King of Pop’s music catalog interests, says the Associated Press.

The judge who okayed the deal will oversee the payments and has set a progress report for September.
