      *Rapper-turned-reality TV star Coolio will replace rapper DMX in a celebrity martial arts fight to take place in Alabama next month. According to TMZ.com, DMX pulled out of his scheduled fight with actor Eric Martinez last week because he couldn't get promoters at Thunder Productions to guarantee he would win. The rapper decided not to follow through amid fears for his safety. A rep for Thunder Productions tells TMZ, "(Coolio) is going to take this seriously."

       *In honor of Veterans Day, producer Kenny Gamble today releases a new DVD/CD commemorative package of his acclaimed new symphonic ode to patriotism, "I Am An American," to help raise funds and awareness for battling homelessness among veterans. The song is belted by his friend Patti LaBelle and the Temple University Symphony & Choir. The 45-minute documentary follows Gamble through the recording process at the Kimmel Center with the Temple University orchestra and choirs, and goes behind the scenes into the legendary Philadelphia International Records studio with LaBelle.  I Am An American: The Making of An Anthem, will be available on www.iamanamerican.us and can be purchased now at www.gamble-huffmusic.com and the National Patriotism Museum in Atlanta and in Philadelphia’s primary souvenir stores – including National Constitution Center, Independence Visitors Center and The Sound of Philadelphia Souvenir Shop.

       *Seal will release a collection of his greatest songs on one CD, "Hits," to be released Dec. 8 via Warner Bros. Records. The set, spanning the artist’s 20 year career, includes sixteen of Seal’s biggest hits, as well as two new tracks produced by David Foster: Fans can purchase a CD or CD/DVD package which includes the Seal "Soul Live" DVD with nine live performances from his hit album "Soul." Seal is currently in the studio recording a new album of original material to be released in 2010. To learn more, listen to streaming audio, and watch music video clips, please visit www.seal.com.

       *Playboy bunny Stephanie Adams, the first and only Playboy Playmate to declare herself a lesbian, is now saying that she is heterosexual and engaged to marry "a loving, supportive, successful man," she informs Page Six. "I would like for his privacy to remain intact, but I will say that I intend to retire from being a public persona so that we can settle down and have children . . . Life is good . . . I have no regrets for anything."  Adams, Miss November 1992, was named "best NYC lesbian sex symbol" in 2004 by the Village Voice.
