In the movie she plays an assassin. R&B queens REALLY are doing the damn thang in Hollywood. Beyonce has starred in a couple of Hollywood blockbusters including the current Oscar-buzz movie Dreamgirls. Alicia Keys has a starring role in Smokin' Aces. Ashanti is in the next instalment of Resident Evil, and Mariah Carey is also doing a movie which was turned down by Janet Jackson I'm told. And speaking of Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson attended the New York screening of the movie last night as well as made a stop at 106:
I have to say a BIG congratulations to Jennifer. I just received an email from Booskee who tells me that the Hudster has just received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Isn't this like phenomenal type of cool? I still don't want her to win a Grammy though it will kill off her acting career. Ya'll know the deal with Halle Berry after she won that Oscar for Monsters Bollocks? She is the living example of the Oscar curse. But in a way she only has herself to blame taking on the role of Catwoman (which stank and also bombed) all because it was a leading role. Always remember that QUALITY is more important than QUANTITY which will get you your accolades in the end. Jennifer Hudson is living proof of this. So what's been happening this week? For starters, Will Smith and his family attended 106 and The David Letterman show:
One of the cutest black families in Hollywood. Putting aside Hollywood, Fantasia did 106 yesterday and looked a right mess.
Maybe Kelis got her hair inspiration from Fanny. Short cut dyed blonde? Am I missing something here? Whyyy? Chick just isn't cute and the blonde, the actual style like some kind of grown-out mohican doesn't work for her at all. It only adds more to the lack of appeal.

Jada Pinkett-Smith, Mary J Blige and her hubby, and Ciara were all there. Meanwhile, Garcelle Beauvias attened the premiere of Rocky Balboa. I decided to put her in with Ciara because the red dresses are gorgeous. However, being the tomboy that Ciara is, she looked really uncomfortable in hers. Just look at her facial expression. The shape of her body just doesn't accentuate the dress which is a shame because the dress is just gorgeous. Ciara just seems to have major issues embracing her femininity and her song Like A Boy would explain why.
And where the HELL is Monica? I didn't see her album The Makings of Me in the top 100. Didn't she release her album back in October, weeks before Beyonce? I know Beyonce is a panther and Monica is a kitten as far as worldwide fame is concerned (and I DO love both of them artistically and have all their albums) but truth and behold, Monica's album is MUCH better than Beyonce's and the chick just doesn't seem to sell as talented as she is. And don't even get me started on my girl Tamia. You just don't understand how upset I am. She had the best R&B album of 2006 and flopped haaarrrd. This leads me onto something else. I'm kind of depressed at Maxwell's new album getting blackballed again, because a while back I posted on this blog that his trilogy album for Black Summer Night will be released in February 2007 and now that's not the case anymore so yeah I'm pissed. Well, these were taken some time ago but they are new to me and I'm sure most folks haven't seen them so I'm posting the promo pictures which are supposed to have come from the trilogy album:

This look is cool I guess, but his record label needs to stop playing. Honestly, they put sooooo much effort into all the artists with the least talent and the ones that do have talent are the ones who are thrown aside all because they are not exciting enough.
Kelly Rowland graces Essence alongside Patti Labelle, Vanessa Williams, Nancy Wilson and Wendy Raquel Robinson. Kelly looks absolutely amazing! Another one who looked hot was Janet Jackson for her 2007 calendar:
Hot!
Remember when I posted Zoe Kravitz on the front cover of French fashion magazine Jalouse? Well, a bigger version has popped up with more pictures. Check them out:
She is a very pretty girl, and Lenny Kravitz dotes on her. I just can't get over how much she looks like her mama Lisa Bonet during her stint with The Cosby Show. A show that did take place was Christina Aguilera when she performed in Switzerland this week:
She's been doing her thing lately and marriage life really has brought out the best in her. No more trailer trash Christina and in comes the classy and elegant. This is the Christina we like. Britney, take note. Anyway, here is her spread for the latest issue of Glamour magazine:
She looks great. Love the make-up and the hair and I thought Beyonce's photoshop job for her latest House of Dereon shoot was nicely done.
I posted these already but compare anyway *lol* Beyonce does Parade magazine. Am I seeing correctly? Does she actually talk about her man in this issue?
She says: "It's wonderful to understand and want the same things, but the friendship is most important. You know someone loves you by the way he treats you and respects you. You know it by how you both feel when you're together."

Mary J Blige has come to the sudden defence of Britney Spears regarding her partying ways. She says: "I know that at some point in our lives we've had a situation like Britney's, meaning that we all were with someone we thought loved us and actually didn't. We make mistakes. I am looking at Britney as a human being just like myself. I messed up big time in my life.
"I love Britney and I send out all of my prayers and all great energy to her because she's young and she is going through it. She is going to get through. She is going to come out on the other side real nice I think." [SOURCE]
That was kind of sweet. Who'd have ever thought Mary J would come to the defence of Britney Spears? Remember when Britney did the lesbian kiss with Madonna back at the 2003 VMA's? The camera panned to Mary J Blige who had a look of disgust on her face and then it panned over to Justin Timberlake who looked rather uncomfortable. I would NEVER forget that, haha! Yes, the girl was obviously hurting and was partying hard to get over her woes and troubles. SHE married for love. Kevin Federline married her for money. Gosh, that must hurt but the dude was penniless, what did she expect? When your kids suffer as a result and you neglect them for your own purely and selfish reasons, you really need to prioritise. If it had been any of us ordinary folk behaving like this, we'd have the police force ready to put on the handcuffs, we'd have had the child services scraping our kids away. When you're a high profile A-List celebrity you can get away with murder LITERALLY. Ask OJ. That said, I'm glad she has decided to ditch Paris Hilton and curb out the partying. Her people have really given her a good talking to and it seems she's taking heed to their words. I hope this means no more panty-less nights on the town. We really don't want to see any more explicit details of her modesty. At least I don't. Those boys need their mother around them and I feel her comeback will be explosive once she sorts herself out. Still, it was nice seeing her going back into the studio this week. C'mon Britney, get it together. We know you can do it!
Stay tuned for more R&B crumbs, and let's hope the next Christmas party Beyonce and her crazy alter-ego attends doesn't include any Popeyes. You know chick is mad for it. I'm out before my ass gets ripped a new one. Ciao!
