New York, NY (June 24, 2008) MTV, executive producer Jamie Foxx and executive producer Cris Abrego head to the hood to find 14 young G's with gruff exteriors and unrelenting street swagger, and put them to the ultimate challenge of their lives pull up their pants, check their egos and transform them into true gentlemen. Beginning Tuesday, July 15th at 10:00 pm ET/PT "From G's to Gents" will feature author, recording artist and arbiter of good taste Fonzworth Bentley serving as mentor, life coach and confidante to these young men who all believe they have what it takes to shed their bad boy images and make life altering changes. Fonzworth will also host "MTV's Top 10 Gentleman of The Year" which will list some of today's most popular celebs who've gone from rugged to refined on Saturday, June 28th at 2:00 PM (et/pt).
Hailing from New York, New Jersey, Detroit, California, Miami and Puerto Rico to name a few contestants on the series will participate in weekly challenges in everything from style, etiquette, chivalry, business and more. Throughout the season they will learn that with the right tools, every G has the ability to find respect, realize their self-worth and graduate from G to true gentleman. In the end, the G who fully absorbs these lessons walks away with added skills, panache and $100,000 to jump start a whole new life. Making cameo appearances in select challenges are music and business mogul Master P, food and wine expert Ted Allen, music producer Irv Gotti, designer Ozwald Boateng and platinum recording artists Danity Kane. Do these men possess the determination to make a positive change in their lives or will pressure prove too much for them? If you're looking for drama, grit, passion and heart, "From G's to Gent's" promises all of that and more.
(Emphasis mine).
Though their performanced wasn't announced on the show until the break before their appearance, Danity Kane took the stage on tonight's episode of "Nashville Star", performing "Damaged". It went pretty well, I thought. The one miscue was Aundrea dropping what appeared to be a bracelet at one point. However, it didn't really throw her and she continued the performance. All around, pretty solid.
Danity Kane will be performing "Damaged" on NBC's "Nashville Star" tonight at 9:00 PM ET.
I mentioned yesterday that Danity Kane's "Damaged" had been featured on the last episode of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew". SASSx7 performed to the track (or, at least, a chopped up version of it). You can check out a clip below.
What's your favorite dance remix from the recently released "Damaged Remix EP"? After purchasing it and listening to every one of the mixes, I have to say that my personal favorite is the "DJ Richie Rich X-Mix Remix". You?
The Sentinel reports that Danity Kane is perfoming at King's Fair in Hanover, CA on July 11.
BuddyTV reports that "Damaged" was one of the songs featured in the latest episode of "America's Best Dance Crew".
You can listen to the remix of "Damaged", featuring rapper Fabolous, on the Danity Kane MySpace. Fab's great on this, I really like what he adds.
Danity Kane's "Damaged Remix EP" is available for purchase on iTunes. There are some really cool dance remixes to the track. Here is the track listing for the EP:
1. "Damaged (Friscia & Lamboy Club Mix)"
2. "Damaged (Global Factory Mix Club Mix)"
3. "Damaged (DJ Richie Rich X-Mix Remix)"
4. "Damaged (Friscia & Lamboy Radio Edit)"
5. "Damaged (Global Factory Radio Edit)"
6. "Damaged (Friscia & Lamboy Dub)"
My favorite by far is track #2, the Global Factory Mix, be sure to purchase this EP on iTunes.
Watch below for a "Damaged" dance remix by DJ Crime set to clips from the video for the album version of the song.
Producer Jim Jonsin told SOHH.com:
I originally made the track in a session for Danity Kane. They passed on the record, and I went over and played it for Static.
I hope that they didn't pass on it in some quest to be more "pop international" as I like it.
Here's the single cover for "Bad Girl":
Ken Lewis reports that he has just finished mixing the remix to Danity Kane's top 10 single "Damaged". The track is similar to the original, but it has a new section where Fabolous raps. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
According to the Bad Boy Records website, Danity Kane's second single for the sophomore release will be "Bad Girl". I think its a great choice for the ladies and will give them a chance to release a single with another high-profile artist like Missy Elliott. I'm excited to see what the concept will be. Also, "Damaged", the first single from "Welcome to the Dollhouse" is steadily rising up the charts. For more information click here.
D. Woods spoke with Rap-Up.com about the reported fight between the group over the weekend.
“[It was] nothing at all. People read way too far into s***. If there is a big a** couch in our section, why would we sit on top of each other?” D. Woods exclusively tells Rap-Up.com, explaining why the girls were not pictured together at the after-party.
She doesn't come out and say that there was no fight, just that it was nothing. Whatever it was, fight or not, I wouldn't be too concerned.
AllHipHop.com has an interview with Danity Kane. They are have some video from the interview, which is included below.
AHHA: Was the experience of being in the same house as Donnie and Day 26 and recording at the same time a bit hectic for you all?
DK-Aundrea: I think in the beginning we were just a little concerned, because we didn’t really know what their work ethic was like. And we didn’t really know them at all. And we knew what WE wanted to do. We knew that we wanted to come in focused.
I think we were all pleasantly surprised. They are all very very nice and very talented young men, and I think we learned a lot from them. I also think they learned a lot from us. I also think they motivated us and pushed us even more.

From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
It wasn't all sweetness and light Friday for Diddy's girl group Danity Kane. Two members of the pop group got physical backstage at the Palms before their concert at The Pearl last night. The tension was still evident when the group arrived at Privé Las Vegas (Planet Hollywood Resort) for their after-party. Dawn Richards, Aundrea Fimbres and Shannon Bex stayed on one side of the VIP Booth while Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods sat on the other posing for pictures with fans.
The Press-Enterprise has an interview with Aubrey O'Day.
The tour is being documented for the latest season of "Making the Band," set to begin airing in August. O'Day said she's gotten used to the cameras and doing things like coming into a room twice so the crew can get an exterior and an interior shot of her entrance.
"Now I'm almost annoyed by them," she said. "We can't make a move without approval ... it's very demanding of your personal time."
