Jennifer Hudson, Chaka Khan to Perform Whitney Tribute at Grammys

ET breaks news that Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan will perform a tribute to the late Whitney Houston at tomorrow's Grammys.

The music legend died Saturday at age 48. Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California where she was a guest, Beverly Hills Police lieutenant Mark Rosen confirmed in a briefing. Police received a call at 3:43 p.m. from hotel security, and although Beverly Hills fire and police responded minutes later, attempts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.

The cause of death is unknown, and is currently under investigation. According to Rosen, there was "no obvious evidence of foul play or cause of death."

Often referred to as the "Queen of Pop" or "the Voice," Houston is a six-time Grammy winner and the most awarded female act of all time, though her career was overshadowed in the later years with her rumored drug use.

Drake and Rihanna record video for "Take Care"

Drake promised that he would deliver a video for the title track from his Take Care album, and the Young Money rapper has come through on his word. Rihanna joined him on set this week where the two filmed the anticipated music video for their collaboration track. The two stars posed for a photo with video director Yoann Lemoin.

The Jamie xx-produced "Take Care," with its pounding bass drum and sparse piano melody, tells the story of two lovers ready to leave behind their sketchy pasts in favor of a fruitful relationship together. Drake and Rih's real-life fling (one the rapper addressed on 2010's "Fireworks") only helps to enhance the song's appeal. Standing as both an endearing duet and a club banger, it's the danceable, Gil-Scott Heron-sampling house build toward the end of the song that truly makes it a standout.

Katy Perry ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection’ to Drop March 27

Time to indulge in a sweet treat. Katy Perry is issuing the special edition of her double platinum and No. 1 hit yielding second album ‘Teenage Dream.’ It’s called ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection’ and it’s due to land in stores on March 27. The initial run will include a limited edition, lenticular cover. That means it’ll look 3D.

What’s so special and confectionary about ‘The Complete Confection?’ Well, it’ll feature all 12 tracks from the original, six of which were No. 1 hits on Billboard’s pop chart. Perry set records by churning out No. 1 hit after No. 1 with the album. It all started with ‘California Gurls’ and continued with the title track, crackled with ‘Firework,’ went out of this world with ‘E.T.,’ and celebrated the ’80s with ‘T.G.I.F. (Last Friday Night.)’ The most recent numero uno is ‘The One That Got Away.’ Half of the album’s tracks were chart toppers. Impressive!

But there’s also new stuff. There’s three brand new songs as well as versions of ‘E.T’ featuring Kanye West, ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ featuring Missy Elliott, and a moving acoustic version of current single ‘The One That Got Away,’ produced by Jon Brion. None of these alternative versions have ever been available on a physical CD until now. A seven-minute Tommie Sunshine megamix featuring all six of the No. 1 hits.

“This is the complete story of ‘Teenage Dream,’” Perry said in a statement. “It was an incredible honor to tie the King of Pop’s Billboard Hot 100 record, but I’m moving forward and had a few things left to get off my chest. So this is the complete special edition of my album for my fans.”
