Here’s a quick glance at today’s movers and shakers in the business. From breakdowns to top selling albums, these celebs are on the rise and have made the cut for the GIANT List‘s A-List…

1. Maxwell

Who knows how to make a better comeback then Maxwell? Though “Pretty Wings” is still in rotation on everyone’s Ipod, Maxwell has also dropped the video for his newest single “Bad Habits” with a chameo from the irresistible Kerry Washington. BLACKsummers’Night debuted at number one and proves that R&B is still alive and kicking. 

2. Jay-Z 

With the drop of The Blueprint III around the corner, Hov has been hitting these streets promoting the most anticipated album of 2009 with a stunt of publicity overdose. The CEO of the ROC was seen in New York this weekend on set for the video for the second single off the album, “Run This Town” with his little brother ‘Ye and sister Rihanna in tow. Checkout exclusive backstage pics of the super-hero crew on set here. Also while in the city, the Jigga man was spotted strolling through the hoods of Marcy Projects with mogul Oprah Winfrey on his arms. I guess the advantage of not being put on her show is being her personal tour guide through your hood, literally. 

3. Kimora Lee Simmons

After months of baby Kenzo being MIA, we doubted we would ever get a glimpse of the bouncing bundle of joy. Though Djimon and Kimora didn’t receive anywhere near the money Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey received for leaked pics of baby Nahla, Kimora looks stunning with her new family in their OK! Magazine photoshoot. 

4. T.I.

Though Tip is still behind bars, it doesn’t mean he can’t be King while he’s gone. His single “Remember Me” featuring Mary J. Blige was No. 3 on the itunes top downloads and the he has also dropped a video for “Slide Show” featuring Justin Timberlake. Check it out below….

5. Solange

Though its been months since her alleged buzz cut, Solange has been causing a scene with her new do. With a remixed version of her cut (new side part) and her own eccentric swag, Solange is proving she isn’t just Beyonce’s little sister. Check out pictures of the sisters in Japan this weekend…

6. Kerry Washington

For simply being the sexy Ms. Washington. Did you see her in Maxwell’s “Bad Habit” video?

7. Wendy Williams

The queen of cyncisim and snide remarks is killing the television scene right now and has everyone saying “How ya doing” even when her show isn’t on.

8. Michael Jackson

Just cuz we miss him.

9. Whitney Houston

We’re all about comebacks and have already pre-ordered the next Whitney album.
