WEEKEND R&B FABNESS!!!

Rihanna has been all over the place lately and those appearances are not likely to stop anytime soon. LOL! I know my blog is pure Rihanna-saturation, but like I say I got to go with what's hot and right now Rih-Rih is the IT-Girl. Of course tomorrow it could be somebody else though but I highly doubt it, so we're just going to stick with what we have. It's no point complaining about her lack of singing talent or non-stage charisma because the girl is just going places, and the Ashanti petition a couple of years ago didn't impact the music industry into ensuring that talented singers get their shine, cos if that were the case, how come my girl Tamia hasn't blown up yet? All you need is to be pretty and put out catchy music and Rihanna definitely qualifies in that department. Anyway, it appears Rihanna is trying to fleece fellow R&B singer Amerie for the title of sexiest legs. This week, Rihanna was named 2007 Venus Breeze "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess":




Venus Breeze is the newest razor from the world's leading female shaving brand which presented chart-topping singer Rihanna with the 2007 Venus Breeze "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess" award during a ceremony in New York City early yesterday. Rih-Rih will also work with Venus Breeze to help judge the 2007 "Legs of a Goddess" contest. This nationwide competition is a search for a woman with gorgeous legs who also exudes confidence and charisma. The 2007 contest celebrates the launch of Venus Breeze, the first 2-in-1 razor with built-in shave gel bars, making shaving easier and more convenient than ever before. Rih-Rih says: "I'm thrilled that Venus Breeze thinks my legs are award-worthy and I'm excited to kick off the search for the woman with the best legs in America," She continues: "This contest is a fun way for women to showcase confidence, charisma and gorgeous legs on the runway." The contest will visit five cities throughout the summer beginning in July. Contestants will be invited to strut their stuff on a catwalk and "strike a pose" for a panel of judges to determine if they have what it takes to be awarded the Venus Breeze "Legs of a Goddess" title. The judges will be looking for a woman with toned, shapely legs who exudes poise and confidence.

Yesterday, at 8:30am, Rihanna performed live on NBC's Today Show:




She tries.

Still, I think she should get bonus points for attempting to sing live on a different number of occasions. Here is her performance from the show:



She sang her monster hit SOS.

And here are some photo's of Rihanna chilling out in her native Barbados a couple of weeks ago, just before her massive Good Girl Gone Bad promotional campaign kicked off. In a rare sighting we see Rihanna chilling out with her two brothers (peep her mama looking on in the background)(thanks Demi):





During her stint in Barbados before taking the world by storm, Rih-Rih was also hard at work doing a photoshoot so it wasn't all play and fun. I guess it's all paid off now though.

And here is the first promo picture of the cast from the upcoming television series 8 Days A Week:



Christina Milian will really be happy now that work has been thrown her way. The CW has picked up the comedy for the mid season. Meredith Lavenders show stars Christina and her co-star Mario Lopez who play assistants to VIP's and have no life, so they learn to rely on each other.

There is just no words for the way Brandy looked when she attended the Christie's BOOK & DVD RELEASE PARTY alongside her brother Ray-J:



She looks horrible and judging by those yellow eyes, somebody has been smoking on that spliff for quite some time now. I know she's been through some hard stress lately regarding all these lawsuits but damn, chick has aged by at least 10 years.

Solange Knowles attended the Glamour Women of the Year Awards this week:



She looked really pretty. Solo really has grown into her looks over the years. And she has put on some meat and looks great with it!

And more pictures have resurfaced from Kanye West's 30th birthday bash but these ones are in high quality. Whenever Mariah Carey and Jay-Z attend the same parties, they NEVER pass up a photo opportunity which ALWAYS sees them locked in some sort of flirtatious bond:





Now I'm not trying to start any rumours because I know for a fact that nothing is going on between them and that they are just best friends and have been for over a decade now, but you never see him THIS happy and all touchy-touchy with girlfriend Beyonce whenever they attend parties together. Their chemistry is zilch. But Jay loves himself some Mariah. I don't know if it's because he's closer to her cos they're the same age or what, but it makes you wonder.

More pictures of Ashanti and Cassie but in HQ. Ashanti brought along her mama Tina to the celebration:



But Cassie's heavy-bound mushroom shaped fringe (bangs) was certainly not a good look.

And here are some images of Usher and fiance Tameka Foster getting all loved up. Pass us the sick bucket:





Hate to say it but it looks like these two are in it for the long haul.

And lastly, this cutie is supposedly Kelly Rowland's new man, English soccer ace Kieran Richardson. He is the cousin of current Big Brother 8 housemate Charley Uchea:



Kelly supposedly met the Manchester United star backstage at one of her London gigs and they have been dating for the last two months, according to British newspaper The Sun. Though this picture does him NO justice, he is an actual hottie and definitely a step-up from her ex-fiance Roy Williams, who was like, yuck. Kelly definitely has a thang for those athletes though. Still I won't believe until I hear it from the horses mouth.

Courtesy of That Grape Juice, here is Kelly performing her new single Like This on UK show Loose Women:



Hate to say it but I don't think Kelly was destined to be a star as the star quality just isn't there. She just doesn't have IT which would explain why Beyonce was PUSHED into leadership status from day one.

Stay tuned.
