According to reports, VIBE, one of the nation's top urban music magazines, is shutting its doors.

The rumors began early this afternoon, and were just confirmed when a spokeswoman for the magazine made a formal announcement that the VIBE staff would be notified about the magazine's closing in an all-company meeting at 2 pm.

The news came as a shock to many, as the magazine has been in print for 16 years and enjoyed a loyal readership, however the Wicks Group, which bought VIBE in 2006, reduced its circulation and cut salaries and hours in February in an effort to save funds.

In a formal statement to the staff, Steve Aaron, CEO of Vibe Media Group said they struggled to recapitalize the company for months in vain, seeking "to restructure the huge debt on our small company."

"The print advertising collapse hit Vibe hard," Aaron said. "Key ad categories like automotive and fashion, which represented the bulk of our top 10 advertisers, have stopped advertising or gone out of business."

Foxx will be the executive producer of the show, his first since the 'Jamie Foxx Show' ended in 2001. MTV claims the new series will be "the next generation of 'In Living Color,'" the legendary 90's sketch show that launched the careers of Foxx, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez and many others.

Foxx, who most recently starred in 'The Soloist,' will be developing the series with producer Jamie Rucker King ('Held Up'), Marcus King, writer/producer Fax Bahr ('In The Army Now,' 'Malibu's Most Wanted') and producer/director Adam Small ('Another State of Mind,' 'Malibu's Most Wanted').

Michael Jackson was, unarguably, the most influential pop star of his generation and can be credited with inspiring the careers of many R&B artists. While the world mourns, musicians continue to express their love for the legend.

"I am devastated as I'm certain many people around the world are as well. We have lost a true Genius in Music and one of the greatest influences in entertainment," '90s singer Al B. Sure told the BoomBox.

R&B singer Ciara may not have been born when Michael Jackson did the moonwalk for the first time, but the King of Pop remains one of her biggest inspirations. The singer received a call from her idol a couple of years ago, but didn't answer the first time around.

"He was doing a song for Hurricane Katrina and he wanted me to be a part of it," she said. While waiting for Jackson's call, which she had been told of by her management, Ciara turned on some music to calm her nerves. The music was so loud that she didn't hear the phone ring.

R&B group New Edition reunited for a special performance of Jackson 5 songs, including 'I Want You Back,' and 'ABC.' The crowd jumped to its feet as Ronnie Bell, Michael Bivins, Ricky DeVoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, and Bobby Brown kicked off the show.

Host, Jamie Foxx, donned his 'Thriller' inspired red leather jacket, black pants and white sox. Among his performances was a heart-wrenching rendition of Jackson's 'I'll Be There,' alongside singer/songwriter Ne-Yo. Although usually wearing a fedora, Ne-Yo went "topless" for his performances, even singing his favorite Jackson song 'Lady in My Life.'
