Throwbakk Tuesday Music: Ceelo Green

 Cee Lo Green

*Rather it be paying tribute to Patti La Belle @ the BET awards, performing for The Today Show audience, or hosting NBC's The Voice The Lady Killer seems to have the Midas Touch in all projects that he puts his hands on lately.

 Cee-Lo Green Compares Gnarls Barkley, Goodie Mob And Solo Strategies
by Omar Burgess

 The Lady Killer explains how he plans to balance his solo career with upcoming albums with Danger Mouse and Goodie Mob.

Gnarls Barkley

His Hip Hop fans want another Goodie Mob album, and his Alternative fans want another Gnarls Barkley album. Meanwhile, Cee-Lo Green is touring and promoting his latest solo album, The Lady Killer, while his fellow Gnarls Barkley member has recently wrapped an album inspired by Italian film scores from the 1960’s and 1970’s. If it sounds like a lot to handle, that’s possibly because it is. To hear Cee-Lo tell it, multitasking is the key to satisfying his diverse fan base.

“We’ll definitely get together sometime very soon to start talks about what we collectively agree is the new direction for Gnarls Barkley,” Cee-Lo recently told Rolling Stone. “We talk on occasion and he’s about as preoccupied as I am at the moment, doing other projects. But then again, we might not talk at all and just do it when the time is right because we’ve never discussed it before.”

Green also added that he and the rest of the Goodie Mob had finished “more than a few” tracks for their upcoming reunion album. The group has not recorded an album with a full roster since 1999’s World Party. Having his hands full with a solo album, Cee-Lo said, “I’m very proud and passionate about it…I feel very enthusiastic about being able to give it my undivided attention to finish it.”

 Actor Jaleel White, Once Steve Urkel, Stars as Cee Lo Green in New Music Video, 'Cry Baby'

You won't find R&B star Cee Lo Green in his latest music video, "Cry Baby."

 Jaleel White

 Instead, the king of cool was replaced by none other than Jaleel White, the actor who made a name for himself playing the dork-tastic, "did I do that?" character Steve Urkel on the '90s sitcom "Family Matters."


White stars in the happy-go-lucky, 1950s sock-hop-eque music video, complete with opening credits: "Jaleel White as Cee Lo Green."

In a recent interview with "Nightline," White talked about how his career has evolved since playing his break-out, four-eyed character at the tender age of 12, but said that Urkel is dead to him now.

"For me talking about Steve Urkel and Stefan Urquelle are, like, honestly talking about deceased relatives," he said. "Those characters, those people that lived inside of me, and I just kind of keep them in a little box now."

Now at 34, White has a 2-year-old daughter and a college degree in film and television from UCLA. He's the voice of "Sonic the Hedgehog" and starred in the movie "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer" as the banjo-plucking Mr. Todd.

Reflecting on his time in the business, White gave this advice for how to survive being a child star: be professional.

"You better be good at what you do," he said. "I like to think I'm very good at what I do. I look at other child actors. I look at other child performers. I watch the beats that they play on camera, and I'm proud of my performances."

Watch the full interview with Jaleel White on the "Primetime Nightline: Celebrity Secrets" special "Underage and Famous" tonight at 10 ET/9 CT on ABC
