REMINDER: Episode 3 of “The Way It Is: Season 3″ premiers tonight!

R&B star Keyshia Cole is returning on two fronts – her new CD “A Different Me,” is due Dec. 16 via Imani/Geffen/Interscope, and her BET reality show, “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” begins its third season tonight at 10.

The singer tells Billboard that her new album marks a fork in the road.

“The first two albums were more … painful,” she says. “It’s a different me this time: a young woman who’s still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas. I wrote more about other people’s situations than my own. I’m moving forward.”

A Different Me” features Cole collaborating with Polow Da Don, the Runners, Neffu, Kwame, Orthodox & Ransom and the Trackmasters.

Tracks include the lead single “Playa Cardz Right,” featuring a posthumous Tupac Shakur; “Trust,” featuring real-life friend Monica, and the Polow Da Don-produced “Make Me Over.” Cole further hones her ballad skills on the track “You Complete Me” and flashes a sultry side on a cover of R. Kelly’s 1992 No. 1 R&B hit, “Honey Love.”

As part of a 360 deal she recently inked with Interscope, Cole is developing a movie based on her life. A screenwriter has been hired to go on the road with the artist in 2009 to begin developing the script.

Meanwhile, the new season of BET’s “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” finds the family making progress and discovering their own personal paths. Frankie, Neffie and Keyshia attempt to truly step above their past hurts. During the process, Keyshia finds herself on the road to becoming the woman she is destined to be, leading her family and her business toward success. This new direction also opens Keyshia’s heart and she is finally ready to allow herself to find love once again.

As she prepares a biopic and the third season of her TV show, the diva showcases ‘A Different Me’.

Keyshia has two consecutive platinum albums, eight top 10 singles on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (including three No. 1s) and a top-rated reality show on BET.

On Dec. 16 Imani/Geffen/Interscope will release her third album, “A Different Me,” which will drop in the wake of the 360 deal Cole signed with Interscope that includes a movie based on her life.

“I haven’t reached my goal yet,” says Cole, who says that down the road she wants to live in a log cabin and own horses, operate a veterinary hospital and pet store—“I’m a dog person,” she adds—plus a coffee shop on the side. “I want that real bad. I can just see the couches and the fireplace going. “But to get there,” she continues, “I have to first accomplish my musical goals. To quote Tupac, got my money right, I got my mind right, and now I want war.’

Set your recorder, Keyshia’s on t.v.!

Starting today at 12:00PM, BET will be showing a marathon of it’s highest rated celebrity reality show, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is.

The marathon will run from 12:00 - 4:00 PM and will mostly feature episodes from season two.

After chronicling her own gritty rise to fame on 2005’s “The Way It Is” and 2007’s “Just Like You,” Keyshia Cole moves in a new direction on “A Different Me,” due Dec. 16 via Imani/Geffen/Interscope.

“The first two albums were more … painful,” she tells Billboard over lunch in Los Angeles. “It’s a different me this time: a young woman who’s still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas. I wrote more about other people’s situations than my own. I’m moving forward.”

“A Different Me” features Cole collaborating with a combination of marquee names and newcomers, including Polow Da Don, the Runners, Neffu, Kwame, Orthodox & Ransom and the Trackmasters. On her previous albums, Cole worked with such songwriter/producers as Greg Curtis, Missy Elliott, Scott Storch, Bryan-Michael Cox, Rodney Jerkins and Sean Garrett.

“When I hear something, I hear it — it doesn’t take me three, four, five times to hear a song and say, ‘OK, let’s write,’” Cole says about her songwriting process. “If I don’t write to it right off the bat, it’s not working.”

And while the pain quotient is definitely lowered on “Me,” the emotional realness and accessibility that fans have come to love in Cole’s music remain — as do her searing vocals.

She’s reflective and coy on the melodic lead single “Playa Cardz Right” featuring a posthumous Tupac Shakur; the track originally appeared on his 2006 album “Pac’s Life,” but dressed up with a new verse and arrangement by Cole and producers Fair, Carvin Haggins and Ivan Barias, the song has shot to No. 25 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart after only five weeks. It’s competing with Cole’s last single from her sophomore album, “Heaven Sent,” which is No. 14 on the chart.

A girl-talk intro colorfully sets up Cole’s duet with real-life friend Monica on “Trust,” while Polow Da Don taps into Cole’s upbeat side on the pulsating “Make Me Over.” Cole further hones her ballad skills on the track “You Complete Me” and flashes a sultry side on a cover of R. Kelly’s 1992 No. 1 R&B hit, “Honey Love.”

As part of a 360 deal she recently inked with Interscope, Cole is developing a movie based on her life. A screenwriter has been hired to go on the road with the artist in 2009 to begin developing the script.
