NBA ALL STAR FAB WEEKEND R&B APPEARANCES!

R&B singer Toni Braxton received a star in Las Vegas and a check for autism research. As it was recently reported last month, Toni broke down in tears on US magazine show The View as she recalled the first signs her youngest child Diezel was autistic:



Ms Braxton was very outspoken about doctors failing to diagnose Diezel earlier, believing he could have been helped if the autism was recognized sooner. But I am very proud of Toni because it seems she has found a way to deal with the situation. I know it must have been dead hard on her to deal with that but to do work on a very plausible cause is commendable. Keep your head up Toni! After the cut, check out Toni receiving her star as well as other hot Las Vegas R&B appearances. Las Vegas was the hottest ticket in town this past weekend.


Toni looked great. She was definetely glowing. She also performed at the star-studded All Star Las Vegas bill too.

Beyonce and her sister Solange Knowles SHOCKINGLY posed with Beyonce's nemesis Christina Aguilera at the 1st Annual Two Kings Dinner Party at TAO Nightclub. The event was hosted by Beyonce's fella Jay-Z and Lebron James. I was really shocked to see these two looking all pally when in the past, Christina has showed Beyonce nothing but sheer contempt. I think it was an interview that Christina did with Rollingstone (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, it was during her promotion for her album Stripped when Christina was recieving a lot of flack for her sleazy image in light of her controversial Dirrty video. She said that Beyonce can dress up sexy/half naked and not recieve the flack that she gets, something to that nature. Even if she were right, she came off a little prissy and this was only one of many petty digs that Christina took towards the Bootylicious singer.











Beyonce was FINALLY pictured with her man after days of speculation that their long-term relationship was in trouble. The non-stop Solange appearances continued. Kelly Rowland looked great for a change. Danity Kane, Rihanna, Ne-yo, Mary J Blige and Donald Faison were all there at the event. It seemed like a very hot party. So ask me if I were shocked to see Beyonce and Christina posing together then the answer would be yes, but it's nice to see that they have settled their differences and that they were both woman enough to take pictures together. For all we know it could just be all for show though. Beyonce and Christina go a long way as Christina supported Destiny's Child a couple of years ago on their Survivor tour. In other Beyonce news, Fabizzle tells me that Upgrade U will be the next official video from Beyonce so I can't wait for that.

Anyway, I'm about to go into RUMOUR MILL territory. Word has it that Ne-yo and Rihanna are SECRETLY an item and are keeping their romance underwraps. Last week the two of them arrived at The Grammy's holding hands. They arrived at the event TOGETHER and did so again at the 1st Annual Two Kings Dinner Party at TAO Nightclub. Accordingly, Rihanna refused to leave Ne-yo's side all night:




Make of the situation however you want but these two have been spending a lot of time together. Not just social time but studio working time as they have been in the studio a lot working on her new album. Anyway, here they were attending last Sunday's Grammy Awards:



Ne-yo is also responsible for writing her huge moster hit Unfaithful. If they are dating, there is only ONE question. What the hail does she see in him?


Whitney Houston and Ray-J also attended the 1st Annual Two Kings Dinner Party but these were taken during their red carpet moment. These pictures of Whitney and her young R&B lover discard ALL reports that Whitney dumped him in light of his $1 million dollar sex tape which he had made with his ex Kim Kardashian. In fact, I am reading reports that Ray-J told Whitney beforehand about the tape and she supposedly laughed it off because it was "the sort of thing her ex hubby Bobby Brown would be into". The odd couple turned heads when they attended the party hosted by Jay-Z & Lebron Saturday night:





What is up with Whitney and her raggedly mop-headed wigs? She looks like one crazy mama. I guess we can now breathe a sigh of relief that she is NOT going back with her druggy no-good ex-husband of hers. We were all worried for a minute after recent pictures surfaced of Whitney and her daughter Bobby Kristina having dinner with her deranged ex hubby. I guess it was just an innocent dinner and they decided they should remain friends for the sake of their daughter.

Whilst Whitney and Ray-J were parading their relationship, so was Bobby Brown as he was seen making out with some randon chick:





So what happened to Karrine "Superhead" Steffans? I guess these pictures really do show there won't be any reconciliation with his ex-wife. GOOD!

During NBA All-Star in Las Vegas, R&B princesses were all over the place. Mya and Keyshia Cole attended BET's All Star "Back To Basics" Party last week Friday whilst Ciara and Kelis performed at the T-Mobile Sidekick 3, D-Wade Edition Launch:




Mya and Ciara looked lovely. Too bad I can't say the same thang about Keyshia and Kelis though. Looks like the chick got her bad dye idea from Kelis, the queen of dodgy dyed hair.

Mya also attended an NBA Wives Annual Luncheon:




Wow. The chick looked mad hot. I was feeling her whole outfit. I just wish they would stop dilly dallying with her album and put it out already. The constant pushback is killing me. I am dying to hear some new material from this chick.

Mary J Blige also performed at the NBA All Stars event:



Mary has been on top lately.

Mariah Carey arrived home in New York last night at JFK Airport and looked really nice in a chocolatey ensemble and a pair of sunglasses. I guess since she was in London doing her Pinko campaign, she couldn't join in with the NBA All Star festivities:




Fabulous chick right there!

During NBA All Star moment, Usher was spotted with his long-term girlfriend Tameka. Who'd have thought they'd have lasted so long with his cheating ass:



That is, until he decides to use the poor woman as a gimmicking tool to sell his next album just like what he did to Chilli.

Stay tuned for more R&B Crumbs!
