Brandy and Monica together in the studio for "It All Belongs To Me".

I can't even begin to describe the wave of emotion that's coming over me right now. Finally, one of the world's most painful girl-on-girl beefs is getting a resolution! Fourteen years after releasing "The Boy Is Mine" (!!!), Brandy and Monica have settled the score and joined together to release "It All Belongs To Me." Produced by Rico Love, "It All Belongs To Me" is a classic midtempo R&B jam that finally places these two gals on the same side of the fence. Instead of bickering over some idiot DB who two-timed them in '90s, Brandy and Monica have grown into adult women who are both grossed out by their current beaus' effed up behavior.

+ Listen to Monica and Brandy's "It All Belongs To Me" after the jump.

I knew Brandy and I were soul sisters ever since she had a total face-off with Monica in "The Boy Is Mine." I was having an intense middle school boy crisis at the time and really identified with Brandy's desire to scare the crap out of Monica pain.

It's been a while since Brandy's tiff with Monica so you can imagine my excitement to learn of the existence of a brand-new Brandy tune! Cowritten by Rihanna's "Cheers (Drink To That)" songsmith Corey "Chorus" Gibson Brandy's new tune is called "Silent Night," and no, it's not an attempt to dethrone Justin Bieber's "Under The Mistletoe" from the Billboard Hot 200 a Christmas cover, but rather a much-needed dose of classic R&B goodness. In her gorgeous and rich tone, Brandy sings of a love turned sour: "It was a silent night/Another lonely night/I can’t believe you left me." UHH pause--I'm confused about what kind of real-life male with normal blood pumping through his veins is gonna up and leave Brandy? Girl has some mad pipes and she also basically looks like a model is really pretty. Brandy goes on to sing of even more pain this total DB has caused her: "Tell me where did we go wrong/Is there a bigger picture/That my eyes didn't capture?"

Even though Brandy is singing of heartache, it seems she's no longer down in the dumps. The singer recently tweeted: "Now y'all know I don't toot my own horn, but a b**** SLAYED "silent night" #cockymoment !! Lol." Good for you, girl. Turning that pain into a hit record is the best revenge you could ever get.

+ Listen to Brandy, "Silent Night."

+ Waka Flocka Flame elaborated on a recent tweet about wanting to retire. "Nah, I am gonna retire. I'm gonna retire from the industry," Waka said. Maybe he just feels like his flame is extinguished (sorry, had to). (MTV News)

+ Last night, Game dropped the track "Martians vs. Goblins" from his forthcoming The R.E.D. Album. The song features guests such as Odd Future's Tyler The Creator and Lil Wayne. (Pitchfork)

+ Been really missing Kanye West on Twitter, but I can forgive it -- the man's been BUSY, you know, with a huge, epic collaborative album with Jay-Z and all those gigs and stuff. But last night he was a surprise guest during protégé Big Sean's London show. (Rap-Up)

+ Selena Gomez administers hugs to fans at meet-and-greets, and she obvs loves them so much, she dedicated a whole webisode of  her "We Own The Night" tour diary to them. Awwww. (Just Jared Jr.)

+ Is Brandy a trendsetter for the stars? Some photos make a compelling (and sometimes hilarious) case. You decide. (ONTD)

If you don't know anything about hip-hop group Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (a/k/a Odd Future), let us direct you to their performance of "Yonkers" and "Sandwitches" at the mtvU Woodie Awards last night -- little people in green ski masks, video montages of rainbows and gnomes, and men in plushy costumes being escorted out by security. Odd Future in a nutshell, ladies and gents.

But inside that bizarre/dreamlike/WTF collective that is Odd Future lives a smooth operator named Frank Ocean. Frank Ocean released his first mixtape "Nostalgia, Ultra" (available for free at Odd Future's Tumblr) and it's straight-up R&B sexiness. Frank Ocean, who's written for Justin Bieber and Brandy, and is currently in the studio with Beyoncé, left much of Odd Future's angry expletives out of "Nostalgia, Ultra" and instead focused all of his velvety-voiced attention on the ladies... if you catch our drift. (Hint: If this isn't a makeout mixtape, then we don't know what is.)

Frank Ocean's solo sound reminds us a little bit of Drake and also Kanye West, with a tiny sprinkling of R. Kelly thrown in. In other words, it's an epic combo and you need to hear it now.

+ Download Frank Ocean's "Nostalgia, Ultra" free here (language NSFW). May we recommend standout tracks "Songs for Women" and "Novacane."

Keri Hilson's new album is called No Boys Allowed, but the R&B songstress made an exception the other night for Diddy. Here we see the dashing duo, posing for a shot at City Of Hope's Music and Entertainment Industry Presents The Roast Of Stephen Hill at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Hill is the president of music programming at BET. The roast was actually a benefit for the City Of Hope cancer research center. Other celebs in attendance included Chris Rock, Mike Epps, Brandy, Gabrielle Union and more.

The above photo is really posted to point out a couple of things: Keri Hilson looks fabulous as a blonde, and she doesn't look too shabby paired with Diddy. Not trying to play matchmaker or anything, just thought we'd mention it!

Keep an eye out for Keri Hilson's new album, No Boys Allowed, which drops Dec. 21 as well Diddy's long-delayed dance album, Last Train To Paris, which is due out Dec. 14.

I, personally, demure whenever my hairstylist asks if I'd like a little product in my hair. That's just me. I also don't brush my teeth with Jack Daniels, like our girl Ke$ha. So when presented with the opportunity to use a little sculpting gel, Ke$ha quite clearly went to town.

At last night's Us Weekly Stars Who Care Party, the "We R Who We R" singer was working a hairdo that was one part Ed Grimley, one part lazy mohawk.

Also in attendance were folks such as Chris Brown, Brandy and Taio Cruz, though none of them sported such eye-catching, gravity defying hair as Ke$ha.

Generally, the frequency and insanity of Ke$ha's paparazzi photographs are linked to whether or not she has a new release coming. So wouldn't you know it, Ke$ha's Cannibal drops on Nov. 22. Not that we're complaining. We can't get enough of her pics or her music.

Check out another shot of Ke$ha's mohawk, below. And see how Ke$ha got the dollar sign in her name.

When it comes to girl-on-girl catfights in music videos, we've already seen Brandy and Monica square off over an apartment-hopping player; Avril Lavigne pluck a boy toy off another girl's arm; and Mariah Carey kick her own a** in a movie theater bathroom. And now making her official entry into the canon -- and raising the stakes in the process -- is Black Barbie herself, Nicki Minaj, with her new video for "Your Love."

Decked out in gorgeous silk robes, Nicki and a competitive classmate go all "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," crossing samurai swords over their hunky martial arts instructor. Occasionally, the camera cuts to Ms. Young Money soloing in front of billowing 1-million-thread-count satin sheets, just to remind us how damn FINE she is. But then back to the fighting: Blood is shed, and someone doesn't make it out alive. We'll leave it to you to find out which lady reigns supreme.

Like Jay Sean, Taio Cruz is a Brit making inroads in the American R&B scene. And like Sean, his success has been a long time in the making.

After working for years in the shadows, writing and producing for U.K. pop acts such as the Sugababes and Cheryl Cole, as well as American artists like Britney Spears, Brandy and Justin Timberlake, Cruz has stepped into the spotlight, with his breakout single, "Break Your Heart," featuring Ludacris.

"Break Your Heart," which is taken from Cruz's Rokstarr album (released in the U.K. last year, due out this year in the States) perfectly embodies Cruz's infectious, dancefloor-friendly sound and sleek, immaculate production. The same kind of surging, dance pop (think Jason Derulo and Akon) can be heard on "Dirty Picture," which features Kesha and is about ... taking dirty pictures.

Look for more big things -- and big songs -- from Taio Cruz.
