R. Kelly was a guest on WGCI Chicago’s “Tony Sculfield & The Morning Riot.” on Thursday (September 15).
Kels was asked which of the young singers that are out currently that have a chance to be next in line.
“Trey Songz is a guy that if he keeps with the hits and he humbles himself a little more, he will definitely be one of the runner-ups," Kelly said. “Chris Brown is already there. He’s a humble guy. Chris Brown used to come to my studio when he was 13, 14, 15 and 16. I got the utmost respect for Chris Brown. My hat goes off to him because he got in the studio, he did what he was supposed to do, and he bounced back like round ball.”
Kelly also talked about his recent throat surgery.

Wiz Khalifa doesn't care about Amber Rose's past. At least that's what he says in the latest issue of Sister 2 Sister.
Wiz was addressing the very explicit nude photos of Rose that are all over the net. The "Black and Yellow" rapper thinks the past should be left there.
"I could see if that was what she was doing while I'm with her or something like that, and it was in a disrespectful way, but it's nothing like that," Wiz told the publication. "It's not even, like, the pictures or her past is a raunchy past. She did what she had to do. There's plenty of powerful women who overcame that, and that's what she really is, an example of what work and faith in God, you know what I'm saying, can get you into a positive situation. You can make a positive out of a negative."
“The biggest misconception about Amber is that she wants attention,” he later continued. “Everybody thinks that she does stuff for attention and that she loves attention, but she’s really, really reserved and shy. She just gets attention ’cause she’s dope.”
If Wiz can deal with it, then I wish them the best.

Reno, Nevada (CNN) -- A pilot lost control of his vintage plane during an air race over the skies of Reno, Nevada, plummeting toward thousands of spectators before narrowly missing a grandstand and slamming into box seats.
At least three people died and more than 50 people were transported from the scene with injuries, officials said shortly after the crash Friday at the National Championship Air Races and Air Show.
But there could be "mass casualties," officials said.
According to one local hospital, Renown Medical Center, they received 27 patients, 12 who were in critical condition. It reported that two patients -- a male and a female -- died.
On Saturday morning, patients were either in surgery, awaiting surgery, or transferred to a room, the hospital said.
Renown South Meadows Medical Center received four patients, all in fair condition.
St. Mary's Hospital in Reno said it had accepted 25 patients Friday evening from the accident. A spokeswoman for the hospital did not release the conditions of the patients.
The pilot, identified as Jimmy Leeward, a real estate developer from Ocala, Florida, was killed in the crash, according to a show official.
Pilot Jimmy Leeward
The 74-year-old was flying a P-51 Mustang. The event has been canceled and a memorial service will be held for the pilot Saturday afternoon, the show said.
A day before the crash, in an interview from Airshow TV, Leeward expressed confidence about his prospects in the race -- while hinting that his team would fly even faster in the days to come.
"We're as fast as anybody in the field, and maybe even faster," he said. "We've been playing poker since last Monday, so we're ready to show a couple more cards (so) we'll see what happens."
Several witnesses were calling the pilot a hero because he maneuvered the plane away from the crowded grandstands at the last moment.
Ben Cissell said the plane crashed about 100 feet from where he was seated.
"I think that pilot in the last seconds pulled up because he saw the bleachers and saved about 200 or 300 others," Cissell said.
"I don't mean this as a disrespect to others injured, but that pilot is a hero. He saved a lot of lives today. It could have been much worse."
Kim Fonda said she also saw the plane streaking toward where she was seated in the grandstand.
"I closed my eyes and said I am going to die now," Fonda said. "I was literally preparing to die and then he jerked the plane away and it landed like 25 feet from us. I want his family to know he was a hero."
Video of the crash, posted on YouTube, showed a plane plummeting from the sky, sending up clouds of dust and debris. Shocked spectators rose to their feet.
Fred Scholz, a witness, said he saw the plane seemingly "coming straight down."
"I thought he was coming right on top of us," he said, noting that the aircraft hit about 100 feet from him.
"Luckily there was no fire, which surprised me," said Scholz, 59, from Truckee, California, who says he goes to air races ever year. "It just happened so quickly."
Another witness, Greg Mills, added that the pilot "didn't have enough altitude to pull up," with the aircraft shuddering before slamming to the ground about 50 to 75 yards from where he was standing.
"We got showered by little stuff," said Mills, who works at the Pacific Aviation Museum based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, describing a chaotic scene afterward. "Everybody was running."
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team to investigate the crash.
The plane, called the "Galloping Ghost," was taking part in a qualifying round in the "unlimited class" division of the air race when it went down around 4:15 p.m. PT Friday, said Mike Draper, the show spokesman. The final rounds had been slated for the weekend.
The aircraft was about a lap into the race when the pilot sent out a "Mayday signal" and pulled "out of the lap" before crashing into a box seat area that is in front of a grandstand about 15 miles north of Reno, Draper said.
"It was clear that (the plane) was pulling up and was in distress," he said.
He added that authorities do not know why the aircraft went down.
Besides the Federal Aviation Administration personnel already there to assist the National Transportation Safety Board in the investigation, the show's spokesman said that National Guard members -- who were on-site practicing before the incident -- are helping emergency personnel to clear the area.
"There are people still being escorted out of that area with various injuries," Draper said.
Reno Mayor Bob Cashell told CNN that "700 or 800 emergency personnel showed up in a matter of minutes."
"You couldn't believe how fast they came," said Cashell, adding that residents and some troops on site also helped with the injured. "Just watching these people and the way they responded, and it's been magnificent."
Local fire officials are reporting multiple fatalities and critical injuries, according to Ian Gregor, a spokesman with the FAA.
He said the aircraft did not catch fire, but there was a wide debris field following the crash.
Gary Arthur, another witness to the accident, said the plane wavered a few times, suggesting the pilot had tried to get control before going down.
"Just the sound of the impact was unbelievable," he said. "Almost can't believe you saw what actually happened."
In 2007, a mid-air collision during the annual National Championship Air Races in Reno claimed the life of one of the two pilots involved. The collision was the latest in a string of accidents that plagued the races that week, killing three pilots.

Video And Poll After The Jump
All of the talking is pretty much over. Saturday night the battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz takes place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand.
Both fighters have a lot to lose going into the bout. The 34-year old Mayweather's 41-0 record is on the line. In addition, a huge fight with Manny Pacquiao looms on the horizon.
Ortiz is just now hitting his stride as a professional. Since a July 2009 TKO loss to Marcos Maidana, the 24-year old Ortiz has gone 5-0-1. That includes a career defining win over Andre Berto to claim the WBC belt in April of this year.
The fighters had one last chance to do a bit of promoting and trash talking at the fight's final press conference a couple of days ago.
Mayweather said he felt so confident that he was going to win that he wagered bets with Ortiz's promoter Oscar De La Hoya and Ortiz for $2.5 million apiece that he would win the fight.
No word on whether or not they actually accepted.
Check it out below and vote for who you think will win the fight, and how.

By now you have probably heard the rumor about Sarah Palin having an affair with former NBA player Glen Rice in 1987.
Sarah Palin and Glen Rice
A lot of people have weighed in with their opinion, but nobody has been as hilarious and raunchy as former boxing champ Mike Tyson, while talking about the alleged liaison.
Tyson was on Gridlock, an ESPN Radio show in Las Vegas yesterday (September 15), and the results are nothing short of pure comedy.
“Glen Rice is a wonderful man. He’s a wonderful guy,” Tyson said, “But you want her to be with somebody like [Dennis] Rodman getting up in there. Pushing her guts up in the back of her head. Glen Rice is a nice, mellow, docile man, non-threatening black guy — you want someone like Rodman — yeah baby let's get that donkey up in here now! Imagine Palin with a big old black stallion ripping — yeehaw!”
The champ was far from done.
"Everybody's gotta get that out of their system when they get out of college," he continued. "Every [white woman says] 'gotta get me a black man before I go out here and prosper in this white world.' And the black guys of course we gotta get some of them pink cheek before going back to the ghetto. Everybody's gotta get their share of love you know? Isn't that beautiful to hear that Palin got boned out by a black guy? She's not a bad person because she likes black people... at least in her."

Cassie has been away from the music scene for a while. In the five years since her last album dropped the music landscape has changed drastically.
The 25-year old beauty is ready to get things popping again with an upcoming single.
Cassie hit up 106 & Park yesterday (September 15) to talk about her the single "King Of Hearts."
“I don’t want to call it dance because it’s not dance, but it has a dance vibe if you want to say that. If we were in this room playing it right now, everybody would just be hanging from the lights," Cassie said. “[I've been] working with vocal coaches, working really, really, really hard ’cause this is really important to me and I have a lot of great records that I’m excited for everyone to hear.”
Cassie also spoke about working with Fabolous on the Mobb Deep "Shook Ones Pt II" sampled track "Radio" from the Bad Boy mixtape 'The Preview.'
The new single is scheduled to drop at the end of October. A new full length album is expected in 2012.

L.A. Reid is about to make his first power moves as the head of Epic Records. A position he has held since July 2011.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reid is signing both Ciara and Outkast to the label.
Both acts are very familiar with Reid, who gave them their first recording contracts when he was CEO of LaFace Records.
The move would be especially good news for Ciara. The singer went public in February 2011 with her unhappiness at Jive Records -- even penning a letter asking for her release.
"It is true that I have asked and I pray that my label will release me," the statement read in part. "A release would allow me to go be creative with people who care and understand me as a artist. In a short time, I will be able to bring to you a new music energy and a visual excitement!"
Looks like Ciara's wish may have come true although no official announcement has been made yet.

This seems like a role tailor made for Snoop Dogg.
The Doggfather will star in The Legend of Filmore Slim. A biopic about the life of the blues singer, guitarist and pimp.
Slim, real name Clarence Sims, is often referred to as "The West Coast Godfather of the Game" and "The Pope of Pimping." It's said that at one time he had as many as 9000 prostitutes working for him.
He got his name from working Filmore street in San Francisco.
Filmore Slim
A rep for Slim told EW that Snoop was hand picked for the role.
“Snoop is like another son to [Slim]. [He] has always made it clear that Snoop was who he felt should play that role," the rep said. "He has carried that in his heart since we began our search to put the team for the film together.”
Ames Universal and SRI Entertainment are backing the film.
“This film will span decades,” co-producer Alan Ames told Deadline. “From Slim’s emergence as a musician, to his fascination with the fast life, through his years of incarceration and his redemption.”
The movie is scheduled for a late 2012 release.

The rapper was released a couple of weeks ago only to be re-arrested for having his manager and a producer from VH1 about the tour bus that transported him from an Arkansas federal prison to an Atlanta halfway house.
Looks like things are finally on track for TIP to get his life and career back in order.
