THURSDAY'S YUMMY R&B CRUMBS

Okay, so Dreamgirls has been nominated for 8 Oscar nods which is just great, even if the academy DID in fact dish out the ultimate snub by not nominating the film for two major categories - Best Director and Motion Picture, the movie has been doing tremendously on a global scale, and that's all that matters. Let the success speak for itself. An Oscar doesn't define a movies quality or success. I discovered that YEARS ago when Angela Bassett didn't win one for her fantastic performance as Tina Turner and Denzel Washington not picking one up for Malcom X, so I would not even worry about the Oscars as prestigious as some people make it out to be. Board members and the validity of their selected votes can always be questioned, and over the years they've lost cool points with me. So it's whatever. But you know, expect the usual shennanigans - Matthew Knowles going on one of his boycotts to show everyone that his daughter is untouchable, Jennifer Hudson wiping her ass with one of Beyonce's infamous front lace wigs, same ole, same ole.

Anyway, you've seen me post pictures of Alicia Keys when she attended 106 & Park this week to promote her movie Smokin Aces (Ettienne wrote a review of the movie so be sure to check it out - he is ALWAYS on point with his movie reviews). Well, Alicia did a spot of more promotion when this week she visited MTV's Total Request Live:



.
She looked soooo pretty but I am still iffy on her outfits. If she can get the make-up right, why not the clothes hmmmm?
.
She also stopped by and made an appearance on the David Letterman show at the CBS studio's so promotion for the movie really did go into overdrive this week:

.
Here she is seen COMING to the David Letterman show and DEPARTING. But those white bobble boots look kinda familiar. Oh, I know. She went and murdered the Michelin-man for his outside layers. Poor Michelin-man (seen right). Alicia, you ought to be a shamed of yourself girlie!
.
Fantasia visited MTV's "Sucker Free" and looked a lot more better than usual. Well, I'd rather see her just standing there posing for the camera's rather than looking like a mad woman possessed on stage:

.
I like her coat though but what more can I say. It's hard to say something nice when it comes to the fanster.
.
Michael Jordan, Nancy Brinker, Dionne Warwick, Percy Sutton, Clint Eastwood were among the list of 2007 Trumpet Awardees honored at one of the nation's most respected award shows on Monday, January 2007 at 6:00 p.m. The Trumpet Awards salutes the achievements of African Americans, and those who support African Americans.
.
R&B singer Toni Braxton was honored at the Annual Trumpet Awards held at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas:


.
She looked gorgeous. Age definetely suits this woman. Can't say the same about that hubby of hers though.
.
R&B singer Eric Bennett was also at the event and he brought along his gorgeous daughter India:


.
Terrence Howard and Lisa Ray also paid their respects.
.
Usher also showed that despite rumours of their split, he and stylist girlfriend Tameka were very much back on and still an item when they arrived at the ceremony:

.
She looks old enough to be his mother but you know how Usher likes 'em mature right. He DID date TLC's Chilli and Naomi Campbell after all. But I preferred him with the beautiful Eisha Brightwell.
.
Usher was also at an event where Quincy Jones was honored by Harvard School of Public Health as Its First-Ever "Mentor of the Year":



.
Nostrils, I mean R&B singer Mario performed at the event as did John Legend.
.
My favourite Latina Jessica Alba was seen at the games with her fella Cash and I have to add, I love this chick with the darker hair. It accentuates her beauty:

.
Cash is really handsome.

R&B Crumbs


1.Brandy has been in a fatal car crash [READ MORE]
2. There will be NO video for Letoya Luckett's single OBVIOUS. For some reason, Capitol or someone has decided not to release a video for "Obvious". Yes, it's the third single. Yes, it's floating on radio. Apparently, they want the song to perform better on airplay before considering releasing a video. Wow, they are treating her REAL bad only showing that they don't have any confidence in her pulling power. That truly sucks. Is it pretty safe to say that Letoya is officially a one-hit wonder?
3. Mario Barrett will release his 3rd studio album on 8th May 2007.
4. Mya will shoot the video for her new single Lock U Down next month.
5. Sad news folks. Beauty N The Beat has shut down for legal reasons. Apparently she was threatened to be sued. She will be DEEPLY be missed.



What is we gon do now that all the good mp3 blogs are coming to a closure?
