YOU WANT YOUR MTV, AND PARAMOUNT+ HAS IT

New Releases: 50 Cent, Kelly Clarkson, Fleetwood Mac, Thicke, Pete Yorn, Hot Hot Heat & More

50 fever is still burning, and Interscope is cashing in with "The New Breed," a DVD that features 50 Cent discussing his near-fatal shooting and his music allies and rivals. The home video also has concert footage and the unseen clip for "Heat," while a bonus CD is included with three unreleased tracks.

We're all Thankful that "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson finally got an album title and will release her debut LP. The first single is "Miss Independent," co-written by Christina Aguilera, and Clarkson teams up with "Idol" colleague Tamyra Gray on a song that could've been inspired by Simon Cowell's barbs -- "You Thought Wrong."

Fleetwood Mac's Say You Will features Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham on such final-sounding duets as "Say Goodbye" and "Goodbye Baby," while drummer-turned-singer Pete Yorn delivers the earnest Day I Forgot.

TV dad Alan Thicke's son Robin finally releases his A Beautiful World (formerly Cherry Blue Skies) under his last name only. In the Justin Timberlake vein of blue-eyed soul, Thicke delivers pop/funk songs like "When I Get You Alone," 'I'ma Be Alright" and the title tracks, both yestermonth's and current.
