Exclusive: Toni Braxton Preps For Movie Role

Toni Braxton Online and the Toni Braxton Network have learned exclusively that Toni Braxton is set to make her return to the big screen. The 6-time Grammy Award winning artist who is prepping her comeback album for Atlantic Records is currently in Detroit filming a children's musical.

The mother of two boys is no stranger to the big and small screens. In 2001 she made her screen debut in the hit comedy Kingdom Come starring Whoopi Goldberg, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and LL Cool J. Shortly after she appeared on the VH1's original movie Play'd and on UPN's Kevin Hill staring actor Taye Diggs.

Braxton also proved a big hit on Broadway in the Disney musical Beauty and the Beast where she became the first African American female to star in a Disney musical on Broadway. In 2003 she made a successful return to the stage with Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida. For more information on Toni Braxton visit her official website www.tonibraxton.com.

Jesse McCartney Rings Up Toni Braxton

Beyoncé isn’t the only one to put a ring on it. Singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney exclusively tells Rap-Up.com about a similar ring-themed track he wrote for Toni Braxton’s new album.


“I did a record for Toni Braxton called ‘My Ring’s Too Heavy,’” says the soon-to-be 22-year-old pop star, whose album Departure: Recharged hits stores today. “Three weeks later, Beyoncé came out with a record called ‘Single Ladies’ and it sort of has a hand and a ring theme behind it.”

The song was recorded for the “Dancing with the Stars” alum’s sixth studio album, due out on Atlantic Records. “No offense to Beyoncé, I think Toni’s is a little bit better in my opinion, but we’ll have to see what the charts do.”

Meanwhile, the “Bleeding Love” songwriter has plans to hit the studio with “American Idol” Jordin Sparks for her sophomore album.

Passed-Over Pops Hit (Continued)

Toni Braxton vs. Celine Dion

AOL did a recent Ten Passed-Over Pop hits, so I figured I'd add two big tunes they cleverly missed (one, which happens to be bigger than all of the songs on that little ole' list of theirs).

Most Toni fans know this already but just in case you didn't:

Un- Break My Heart (From Celine Dion to Toni Braxton) / Because You Loved Me (From Toni Braxton to Celine Dion)

It's hard to believe that Toni Braxton's signature hit Un-Break My Heart was written by Diane Warren for Celine Dion. Thankfully the Canadian singer passed it up. When 3X Grammy winner (now 6X Grammy Award Winner) Toni Braxton heard the song, she fell in love with it, and the rest is history. Actually it made history. Spending 11 weeks at #1, Un-Break My Heart holds the record for the 2nd biggest single of all times from a female artist and is Braxton's biggest hit to date!

On the other hand Because You Loved Me became a huge hit for Dion and although not her biggest hit, the 5X Grammy Award singer enjoyed 6 weeks at # 1 with this David Foster produced hit.

Toni Braxton is currently putting the finishing touches on her album and her official website should be loading soon. In the meantime you can sign up @ www.tonibraxton.com for updates on her upcoming release.
