YOUR SUNDAY R&B SCOOP!

I was meaning to do this update earlier but Blogger was down. I thought my computer had contracted an f-ing virus as I have yet to update my virus definitions with McAfee. This means I am still prone to hacking and shit. Need to get that sorted. Anyway, turns out that the server was going through some maintenance problems. Maybe I should do what Dlisted did and find myself a bloody new server. We will see what happens.

Bratz doll Rihanna Fenton was at an event where she found herself promoting Clinique Laboratories new perfume "Clinique Happy" (10/20). What a name for a perfume. Is that actually a House of Deripoff *cough* Dereon top she is wearing? It definitely screams Tina Knowles to me, but nevertheless she can pull it off. Rihanna that is. Tina really shouldn't take conceited to another level by thinking she can live out her dreams through Beyonce and be successful with it. Her clothes are just tacky and overly expensive.

When my 63-year-old grandmother can design a sexy dress for me out of a black bin bag and still have it look more elegant and hot than ANY Tina creation put together, you know it's curtains right? She should just stick to hairdressing instead of subjecting herself to being the laughing stock of the fashion trade.

Rising R&B and Hip Hop princess Keyshia Cole performed at the Wendy Williams Experience which was presented by Alize Live. Keyshia's mother Franky Lons was there to show her daughter some support. Aw! I forgot to mention that last week Keyshia had a bash where she celebrated her 25th birthday. Another R&B birthday. Another Libra. So happy belated birthday Keyshia!

Now Wendy on the other hand, I don't even know where to start with this woman. Even a tranny looks more attractive and dignified than this media whore of a woman (if you can call her that). Looking like she had just exited from the operation table due to the change but still graced an unsuccessful bid to eradicate those male hormones, we should just chalk it up as another case of bad surgery gone disastrously wrong.

She's a beautiful Oscar winning actress with a handsome fella but with the price of fame Halle Berry realises that you just can't have everything at face value. That would be not being able to have a social or love life such as a quite evening shopping or going out to the movies with your boyfriend - IN PEACE!!! All this week, the paparazzi has been on Halle's back more furiously than Billy Bob Thornton's character in Monsters Bollocks. And it doesn't get any better than that since the announcement of her latest role playing a white teacher. And just when I thought Britney freakin' Spears had it bad.

Well, you can't kick this woman when she's down. Can't we? Whilst her fella Jermaine Dupri successfully emancipated Mariah Carey's career but ended up constipating Janet's, she is still holding onto the small flickering spark left on that candle. And yes, Virgin isn't the only one to blame for Janet's album being an international flippity floppity. As I keep saying, JD should never have had so much artistic control on this new album. These latest pictures show Janet Jackson arriving in Japan to promote her new album 20 Y.O (21/10). So the album may have flopped everywhere else but there is always hope with those Japanese fans.

I guess she is secretly in mourning as her folds of weight gain rears its ugly head yet again. Just look at that bulging stomach. *sings* I don't think you're ready for this jelly, I don't think you're ready for this jelly, I don't think you're ready for this jelly, my body's too bootylicious for ya babe...

Gwen Stefani takes her gorgeous son Kingston out for a stroll in LA. Gwen is definitely going to rule in 2007, along with Alicia Keys, Mya, Amerie, Brandy, Britney Spears, need I go on? Next year is definitely going to be a big one for the comebacks.

Well, OK, let's move on to the musical side of things shall we? Starting with Shareefa's new album Point of No Return. I'm done listening to the album which leaked a couple of days ago and she is reminding me a lot of a more polished Keyshia Cole. It's refreshing to see a newcomer grace the music scene with an ounce of singing talent unlike Cassie, Rihanna and a few others who are all looks and no talent. Point of No Return is 15 tracks full of jammers, street vibes and contemporary R&B that you can vibe to and of course she keeps it real with hers. Stand out tracks are Phoney, Butterfly and Hey Babe (which features Bobby Valentino), so be sure to check out her debut album whenever you get the chance.

More new music from Kelly Rowland and at this point, does anyone REALLY care about a new Kelly Rowland album? She's had so many opportunities to stand on her own two feet without allowing Beyonce's holy ghost to overshadow. Yet she had Pimp daddy Knowles dickwhip her one more time by pushing back her CD so that Beyonce could release hers. This song is called You Will Win, and whilst I think it's a nice well-rounded ballad, whether she can make a comeback is yet to be seen. 2006 was a VERY competitive year for R&B music and next year will be just as fiercely competitive (Mya, Amerie, Alicia Keys, Brandy, etc) so um, who wins we will soon find out.

LOL! I guess nobody wanted to press play as Diddy's new album is expected to sell little under 200k. We won't know for sure until next Wednesday, not that I care much. On that day, it will all be about Ciara Harris! Ciara who featured on Puffy's R&B-collaborated album will premiere her new video Promise on Access Granted. 3 days to go people!

Well on Saturday night's X-Factor, 4Sure became 4Uncertain when they were given the boot after they landed in the bottom two with Robert. If I had the deciding vote, I'd have voted out Robert. He can sing but quite frankly, the way he carries on is just pitiful. Never have I seen someone so overwhelmed to be on a television show. It was pathetic beyond words can say. He needs to compose himself seriously. I hate seeing him, truly. Anyone would think a bunch of maggots were snacking on his penis. Last week, when it was announced that he was going through to the next week, the man almost had a damn near heart attack. If he were to win the show, he'd die on stage. Last week was Lionel Richie/Motown theme where Lionel was on the show. This week was Rod Stewart. So Rodders was on the show. Ya'll should know that I love Nikkita and Leona right? Ashley is cute but not the strongest vocalist. He looks a lot like Terence Trent Darby but with a unique voice. I think he can go far. Hmmm. We'll see. Anyway early signs show that we already have a potential winner in Ben. Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell think that if he doesn't make the finals, it will be a miracle. Those McDonald brothers need to leave the competition ASAP and the only strong contender in Louis' category is Eton Rd. They look weird but they are so different and innovative with their own influence and style. So whilst Louis is struggling to keep his acts in the competition, will it be over for him before it has even begun? Watch this space.

Beyonce performs Irreplaceable on UK music show Pop World.

Anyway, next week I'm going to buy myself a cute, pricey and sexy outfit from my Google earnings. Call it a belated birthday present. Gee. Thanks guys. Ciao!
