Yesterday, Ciara performed her single Promise on The Letterman Show and whilst I applaud her for trying to sing it live, it's very much understandable as to why she usually lip-syncs on a regular basis.

It just shows that she's not a singer but a performer. Love the song AND her album Ciara: The Evolution which dropes next week Tueday on 5th December 2006 so be sure to cop it because it's hot!

Last night, Beyonce premiered her new video for Listen, taken from the Dream Girls soundtrack which is to be released next week Tuesday on 5th December 2006.

I thought she looked absolutely beautiful especially towards the end, when her hair was in a bun and she was wearing the long gown. She sings with so much passion, raw emotion, strength, soul, depth, and her facial expressions, movement and powerful vocal tells the story. Not to mention that the song is beautiful.  read more »

Fantasia's new video Hood Boy also premiered last night I believe. It features Big Boi from Outkast.

As ghetto as it is, I love the song. Yeah, okay, it's a chickenhead anthem but the song packs in that hotness and the video fits the song to a tee with the hood-like neighbourhood and allathat. Now as for Fantasia's appearance she looked a hot mess in that blonde wig or whatever it was. But apart from that, good video. I likes I likes! Fa  read more »

Hey kids. Don’t think I forgot about ‘cha. Today wasn’t a particularly eventful day, so I am forced once again to dredge up more absurd childhood memories.

One night, when I was about five, I asked my mother to take me to Pizza Hut for dinner. She told me no and I was very, VERY upset. They used real cheese back then. I couldn’t understand why she said no: there was a Pizza Hut in my neighborhood, we knew how to get there and I wanted some pizza. Never mind that it was after dark and raining. And we didn’t have car. In my mind, there was no reason I should be denied my Pizza Hut. To add insult to injury, dinner was something particularly crummy: baked chicken, mashed potatoes and corn.  read more »

Super fly-hy-hy! Yes, these are BOOTS. Boots that look like PUMPS and TIGHTS... with MINI-BELTS. And I might be taking it back too far for some of you, but remember "Sweet Daddy Williams" and his special lady "Savannah Morgan" from "Good Times"? Well, I searched high and low for pics of the two of them and couldn't find anything. These boots reminded me specifically of them...
yes indeed. Your thoughts? Cute or not cute?  read more »

Okay, so I'm doing my usual celebrity manhunt, when I stopped by the pages of Oh No They Didn't!. What more do I see than Mariah Carey up in some hanging-baby-Blanket balcony with her areolas posing for the 'razzi.

Mya shows she's every bit of your exotic R&B queen in this beautiful new shoot courtesy of Rap Up, and yeah, she looks amazing, but what is going on with her album Liberation? Enough with the shoots and come with the music:

Courtesy of Zee Zaid and his Mya [BLOG], a never-before-heard Mya track was ripped from her official Myspace page called Smilin. [CLICK] to download. Mya put up the track on her myspace on 26th November 2006. It was recorded in 2004 and I guess she decided to put it up just to create some buzz for the new album which is expected to be released early next year. Thanks Zee.

This green-eyed R&B beauty has a work ethic like no other and holds no boundaries or limitations with her achievements. For someone with little singing talent, it seems the world cannot get enough of the leggy singer, as she performed at the Pussy Cat Doll's concert in Glasgow on Monday.

After Scotland, Rihanna's next stop was Manchester where yesterday, she satisfied her UK fans when she signed bottles of Clinique perfume, though I do beg her to get rid of the poodle hair. The look works for some but just not on her unfortunately. Beautiful girl though. Rihanna is now a certified superstar. Pon de happy touring! Funky Media also got to interview Rihanna EXCLUSIVELY. Funky asked her if he could do an interview for his R&B blogspot and she agreed! She talks about her new album which she has started recording and it gets even better, she names the producers that she has worked with: "I'm working with Evan and Carl. I've also got future studio sessions with Stargate and JR". [SOURCE] She also says that she is taking her time with the new album because her current album A Girl Like Me was rushed. A Girl Like Me was released earlier this year in March, 8 months AFTER she released her fantastic debut Music of The Sun so of course it was a rushed job. I hope she doesn't release it next year though because that would be overkill. She also talks about when she got booed at the World Music Awards two weeks ago. Here's what she says when Funky asked her if she was upset: "I was at first, because I put so much energy in the performance, but then I thought about it. Even the greatest artists have been booed at some point in their career (Whitney Houston and Rihanna's idol Beyonce and her group Destiny's Child have all been booed in the past during their performances, especially Destiny's Child when they got booed at a Games event for wearing some Jersy's supporting the opposing team *lol*), but it shouldn't make you feel bad. If anything, it should boost your career". she says. [SOURCE] The World Music Awards aired last week on Channel 4 but it came on soooo late I ended up falling asleep. I have been searching for the repeat slots but couldn't find any. Someone let me know when the performances hit You Tube. Rihanna then talks about her stint touring with the Pussy Cat Dolls and the Black Eyed Peas. Head on over to Funky Media to read the whole interview. Nice one Funky. .

Yesterday, Ashanti visited MTV's TRL and looked absolutely gorgeous. I've already posted the clip when she was on 106 & Park this week and looked fab! She has definitely stepped up in the looks department. Her hair was on point, her make-up was on point, her body was on point, everything was on point. Chick can dress her ass off! The chick is like Christina Milian. There has NEVER been a time where Ashanti has looked out of place or has worn an outfit that made me think: Hell, what was she thinking? Blu Cantrell, this is how it really should be done. Take notice.

Cassie was on Jam'n 94.5 fm Radio Station, but don't ask me what she was plugging, I have no clue! But I will always say she should have stuck to modelling. The chick is really pretty and that is possibly where her future lies if things don't work out musically.

This is the story I wrote yesterday, and had to re-write due to internet difficulties. Sorry if some of the usual subtleties and nuances are gone.

As I mentioned before, I am on sabatical from being a member of the workforce. I like to think of myself as a single, childless housewife.....but, really I'm just a gal looking for a gig. Anyway, I've been using this time to cultivate my inner domestic goddess. Last week, I purchased a set of Martha Stewart Living cast iron skillets. Any cook will tell you that cast-iron skillets are the way to go....or not, because I just made that shit up. But I always thought they were better than non-stick ones. With my new cookware, I could promote myself from "okay cook" to "future trophy wife". Not that my pursuit of culinary excellence is soley for the purpose of landing a man, of course. Ahem.  read more »

Ciara's spankin' brand new album Ciara: The Evolution leaked last night and the album is HOT HOT HOT! She definitely brought the heat and I am so proud of Cici because she definitely exceeded expectations with this new CD of hers. You can check out my review below. I am burning my copy onto a CD right now as I speak. I will definetely be jamming to this ALL WEEKEND, in my car, in the house, when I'm on my break at work *lol*. As the album is all over the Net, it shouldn't be too hard to find but I will NOT be posting it here. But you can listen to the whole album [HERE].Thank you Tre and Alan.

Attention all California coons: If you wear your hair in a perm and have a lingering smell of nikkapoochie floating from your body on the regular, stay in the house. The fuzz is after all of you.

The literary world has lost another one of its amazing talents: Bebe Moore Campbell died yesterday in Los Angeles, she was only 56. Many may know Bebe through her novels, others may know her as the mother of actress, Maia Campbell, but she will forever be remembered as one of the most prominent female voices of African American fiction.

In a year that has seen the loss of science fiction great, Octavia E. Butler, Bebe's passing has sent a collective shock through the African American literary community.

Here's a brief article from USA Today:

Best-selling author Bebe Moore Campbell has died from brain cancer in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports. She was 56. Her books include Brothers and Sisters, What You Owe Me, Singing in the Comeback Choir and 72 Hour Hold. Read more about her life and writing at her Web site, African American Literature Book Club and Voices From the Gaps. BookReporter has a 1998 interview with her, and NPR has several links for audio of her commentaries that aired on the network.  read more »

Proceeding along with Tuesday's R&B fabness, I guess yesterday was a lazy day and seeing Britney and Paris hog all the limelight from everything else is a pretty daunting situation. As much as I anticipate Britney's comeback, I think she is going about it the wrong way but who am I to tell a stinking rich celebrity how to live their life? She has a mother and a father so you know if she wants to throw herself under the gutter, it's not really my problem, I am over it. I just wanted to correct an error I made last Sunday regarding those new Ciara pictures:

They did NOT come from King but Giant magazine, and here is the rest of the shoot. She looks absolutely beautiful. I am going to go as far as to say this is the best shoot she has EVER done. UPGRAAAADE!

Jennifer Hudson shows she can be just as sexy as Beyonce when she wants to be with these latest new pictures. I just love them. She looks bootylicious and fabtacular (OK, now she got me making up vocabulary that don't even exist). [SOURCE] .

It has also been made official by Arista that Jennifer will be making sweet wonderful music with Clive Davis on Arista Records. She will begin recording her debut album next year, presumably after the Oscar buzz surrounding Dream Girls has died down, that would be around say what, March?

Clive on Jennifer: "Jennifer is a vocal wonder, a tremendously gifted artist," said Clive Davis, Arista founder and BMG U.S. Chairman. "Her extraordinary voice gives her a signature sound and distinguishes her from every singer on the horizon today. Jennifer is a very exciting new addition to the Arista family."Jennifer on Clive: "Clive Davis is a legend and I feel more than honored to be associated with him," Jennifer said. "Because of his vision and hands on approach,Arista already feels like home. I can't wait for us all to make beautiful music together." [SOURCE]

Awesome. I seriously can not wait for this simply because I've always rooted for Jennifer in American Idol so to see her get voted out so early in the competition broke my heart and only reinforced the fact that audiences cast their vote through popularity and not talent. Do you all remember that season when her, Fantasia Barrino and Latoya London all made the bottom 3? Three black women who just so happened to be the best singers in the competition making it into the bottom 3 lead to some sort of conspiracy theory but you have to admit, it did smell something kind of fishy. Anywho, Jennifer gets the last laugh. May I ask, where is Diana Degarmo? Beyonce elegantly makes the front cover of Canadian fashion magazine Flare:
