Brandy announced on February 21st that she is pregnant; her baby is due in July. The twenty-three-year-old singer and star of TV's Moesha made this announcement less than two weeks after announcing that she had secretly married her producer, Robert Smith, last summer.

On March 5th, Brandy will release Full Moon -- her first album since 1998's Never Say Never, which yielded the mega hit "The Boy is Mine," a duet with fellow teen star Monica. The video for the album's first single, "What About Us?," is available on www.foreverbrandy.com.
