Even with the above-mentioned misfires, we think “Spend A Mill” might be a new low for Kim, on which she is Auto-Tuned within an inch of her life. Spend a mill? It sounds like she spent, at most, five bucks on this cheap tune.

Why, Kim, why?

To wash the bad taste from “Spend A Mill” out of your mouth, here’s a tasty (and Tootsie-approved) treat to remind us that Lil Kim was once a very talented rapper:

Are you similarly put off by Lil Kim’s new track? “Spend A Mill” gets zero licks from us.

Lil Kim has been busy Down Under, tributing (?) Michael Jackson and performing old cuts. Is this a fun way to pay homage to Watch The Throne, or is Lil Kim just using someone else’s success to get attention again?

Seems like the Lil Monster runs into controversy just about everywhere she goes these days (though most of it she instigates herself). At least Monica’s got her back.

In a series of tweets, Monica stated:

“I am just finding out what has happened to my single and myself & Missy are beyond hurt that @LilKim was removed. She’s our friend, a legend & @LilKim will get the respect she deserves at all cost. The clearance was revoked & I’m fighting to get it reinstated by the Biggie Estate. We respect all parties involved & were gonna do WHATEVER to keep the song as is because @lilKim the bizness on the record…I am as thorough as they come and I LOVE @LilKim bottom line is Ms Wallace has the final say and she said No. If we put it out we get SUED. Your directing your anger in the wrong place & I am far 2deep in the game 2play games. These r facts. Still fighting 4 Kim to be on it…..”

For now, there’s still time for Voletta Wallace to reconsider. Lil Kim recently announced a forthcoming LP and single of her own, regardless of what happens to her guest rap on Monica’s track.

And the feud goes on! More than just temporary nemeses, Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj are on track to become full-on mortal enemies for life now that the wiggy Trinidadian has taken a swipe back at the former jailbird who devoted an entire mixtape to this she-brawl. That swipe comes in the form of the snippet “Tragedy,” produced by Hit-Boy and rumored to be from Lil Wayne’s upcoming Tha Carter IV. Amongst other clever digs, Harajuku Barbie compares her nemesis to a very different type of doll: “Last name Ann, first name Raggedy.” Ouch! Hear the minute-long snippet below.

Nicki Minaj - Tragedy (snippet)

We can’t say Lil Kim didn’t have this coming after gruesomely decapitating the Songs for Japan artist on her Black Friday cover art (not to mention the video). But Nicki’s already clearly come out ahead in this battle royale thanks to all her recent success, while Lil Kim came off as a has-been struggling to stay relevant by cashing in on controversy she herself created. Is a response from Nicki necessary? Absolutely not — but you’ll never hear us complaining about new music from this “Fly” girl, especially when the result is as delightfully catty as “Tragedy.”

:: SB found a winner on Chris Brown, Timbaland And Big Sean Play “Paper, Scissors, Rock” On New Track: “I love all the tracks I’ve heard with Breezy recently! ‘My Last’ with Big Sean and ‘Bomb’ with Wiz are both hot tracks. Can’t wait until 3/22, F.A.M.E. is gonna be unstoppable!”

:: tweetygirl found plenty to chirp about on Ever Wonder What Lil’ Kim’s Version Of Rihanna’s “Man Down” Would Sound Like?: “She ruined this song. All the west indians need to slap her when they see her for impersonating and making a mockery of their accent.”

:: della thought we had beer goggles on for The American Idol Top 13 Face Their Look-A-Likes: “No way, no how !!! Adam is totally gorgeous. James is totally not and bears no resemblance to Adam. They don’t look alike, they don’t sing alike, and they have vastly different personalities. James strikes me as phoney, while Adam is as genuine and sincere as they come. I wish James well, but the comparison with Adam just doesn’t work.”

:: Vicki approved of Adam Lambert’s “Aftermath” Gets A Billboard Remix: “This is my favorite song off of the CD. I saw him perform it at the 3 Glam Nation concerts I attended. It’s a beautiful song with a beautiful message. I also love the remix version. I am looking forward to hearing him perform it on tonights Idol. Adam is mesmerizing.”

:: Jen liked what she saw on Glee: Gwyneth Paltrow Gets Sexy, Naya Rivera Gets Real: “First of all I want to say that the scene between santana and brittney was amazing, you ladies finally had a chance to show off your acting chops, my hats off to both of you. 2nd as much as I want them to be together, I think it showed that brittney does have a heart and is not just a school slut that she didnt want to just break up with artie to be with santana. So good move glee cant wait to see how this plays out, but I am pulling for brittney and santana!!!”

:: And Jaymee was hoping for more sweet lady kisses, too: “Naya needs an emmy! I heard a ‘Landslide’ the night after episode 14 aired, and I played it over and over, and I knew Naya and Gwenyth would be singing it, but I never could have imagined she’d sing it to Brittany. And im my opinion, it was sad that Brittany’s lack of intelligence made it that much harder for Santana to try and explain that she loved her. No matter what though, i’ve always shipped Brittana/Santittany, and I will fight for them!”

:: Tania stood up for all that is glam on American Idol: Adam Lambert Returns, Casey Abrams Hospitalized Again: “Anyone who says that Adam’s performance sucked big time has deep inner issues they have to deal with! Adam sang flawless, showed us why the world loves him, looked gorgeous and this song is amazing, I love it!!”

:: ML also assessed the performances on the Idol results episode: “Diddy was Diddy – was fine. Skylar Grey was great ‘tho, glad she got the exposure. Glad Lambert got the exposure too – that dude’s so freakin’ good, get on board people, you’re missing out. You don’t have to love every little thing about Lambert, but damn that guy is… well hell, just entertaining.”
