Chat With Boyz II Men, Natalie Cole, Erykah Badu

Men out there, when it comes to boys, to men, there are many men, and boys too, men, that try to be major R&B stars, often in groups -- boys two, men three, sometimes more, to a group. But none will ever top Boyz II Men, the group that single-handedly revitalized Motown and revolutionized R &B with tunes like "End of the Road," "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye" and "I'll Make Love to You." Participate in a live audio chat with all of the Boyz II Men, down to every last boy II man, about their brand-new CD "Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya" on twec.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. MST, 5 p.m. PST. Or, on the same channel, you can chat audio-ally with Chante Moore at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, 6 p.m. PST. OR, you can chat regularly with rapper Ludacris on the same channel at 10 p.m. EST, 9 p.m. CST, 8 p.m. MST, 7 p.m. PST.

R&B is exciting these days. No offense to the aforementioned Boyz II Men, but their smash success ushered in a poppy, slick, hip-hop-styled sound that left the rootsy, mature love balladry that previously categorized the genre in the dust. But that old sound has been brought back by the likes of Erykah Badu. an inspiring, unique singer, Erykah had a smash with 1997's "Baduizm," and now has a new album called "Mama's Gun." Chat with her on msn.com at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, 6 p.m. PST.

Ken Burns is the one of the few people able to gain national fame for making documentaries. It helps that instead of making ones about, say, Christo or R. Crumb, he chooses topics like the Civil War and baseball. A Ken Burns documentary means spending an evening with lots of slow zooms into grainy photos and voice-overs by Garrison Keillor -- not exactly a Jackie Chan movie, but it has a lot of quiet pleasures to offer. Chat with him about his latest, "Jazz," on msn.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. MST, 5 p.m. PST.

Got any kids? Are you a kid? Ever met a kid? Then note well that the newest teenybop challenger to the Britney throne, Mandy Moore, of "Candy," is a big cheese, with her own show on MTV, a summer tour, and a Neutogena sponsorship deal. She's got a new album already, "I Wanna Be With You," and will soon be in a movie called "The Princess of Tribeca." She'll be chatting on seventeen.com at 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST, 5 p.m. MST, 4 p.m. PST.

The daughter of Nat "King" Cole, Natalie Cole won a Grammy for the monster hit "Unforgettable" in 1991. It signaled a drastic switch in her career, going from R&B that no one really liked to jazz-based adult contemporary to which a whole lot of contemporary adults could get their groove on while collating quarterly budget analyses. Chat with her about her book, "Angel on My Shoulder," on barnesandnoble.com at 5 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. CST, 3 p.m. MST, 2 p.m. PST.
