      *It’s official, Christina Milian is no longer an artist under Island Def Jam.

       While rumors had been circulating for weeks that the singer was kicked off the label, Milian’s publicist made the split sound less cut throat, stating: "Christina Milian and Island Def Jam have decided to end their relationship due to creative differences. This was a mutual decision."       

      The news comes amidst sluggish sales of her latest album, “So Amazin’.” According to Lloyd Grove’s Lowdown column in the New York Daily News, Vibe magazine has reportedly decided to scrap Milian's scheduled August cover in light of her firing and has instead chosen Keyshia Cole.

       Lloyd Grove also reports that Milian, 24, refused to take direction from Island Def Jam CEO L.A. Reid, who reportedly begged the singer to record "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)," which ended up becoming a hot single for her label mate Rihanna.      

       Def Jam reportedly spent a huge chunk of change promoting Milian’s album, only to have it move a paltry 50,202 units in the week after its May 16 release. By contrast, Rihanna’s latest album, “A Girl Like Me," sold 115,000 copies in its first week.       

       Sources tell Grove that “folks at Island Def Jam are blaming Milian's boyfriend and executive producer, Andre (Dre) Lyon, of the producing team Cool & Dre, for the artist's alleged lack of cooperation.”
