WEDNESDAY SPECTACULAR R&B APPEARANCES AND MORE R&B JUICE ...




Yesterday R&B princess Ashanti & her mama were spotted shopping on Rodeo Drive (March 20, 2007) where they were seen outside
Christian Dior. Ashanti's cornrows looked mad hot. I so wish I could style like this. Good job my younger sister is good at braiding like that. I may rock this look over the weekend.


Ahem...




Here it is people. Rihanna singing the Mariah classic "Hero" at a school pageant back in her Native Barbados when she was 16. She sounds awful and the hilarity of it all is that she actually won the contest. Of course she has SLIGHTLY improved in the singing but the vocal lessons need to be a frequent thing as of now because homegirl still got a lot of improving to do. Bearing in mind, this was only 3 years ago. But since then, the girl has come a long way and has a lot to be proud of.

And this week, she was spotted arriving at Barbados airport:




She looked so refreshing. Natural beauty right there.

Blu Cantrell and Jenna Jamieson attended
the 944 Magazine Presents the 2 B Free Fall 2007 Collection at Boulevard3:






Go and find a job Blu!

Joss Stone and American Idol judge Paula Abdul did an appearance at The Late Show with David Letterman:




And as we're on the subject of Joss Stone, ya'll remember when I reported how producer Dallas Austin ran his mouth off by calling her and Christina Aguilera whores because they would sleep with producers for album tracks? And remember how I posted the evidence over the weekend? Well, Dallas must be feeling the wraith of LEGAL ACTION because he has now issued an official apology through the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Every action generates an equal and opposite reaction. My statement about Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone was a reaction to an incident I care not to discuss in any forum, and while I may have felt justified, I do owe an apology to Christina, Joss and their families. The comments I made about Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone were purely an act of retaliation not of malice or cruel intent. As we all have our boiling points, I sincerely apologize as this is not my character nor should I have let anyone’s actions push me to this limit. I have let my family, friends, employees and business associates down with my actions. All content and any malicious statements that were in my control have been removed from outlets that may have posted this. Please accept this as my formal statement and apology to all parties involved". [SOURCE]

Jennifer Hudson performed at an Oak Lawn, Illinois' High School 2 days ago. The school is having renovations to their gym and the students of the school also celebrated a scholarship program which was presented by NBA Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade:


It's all good and dandy that she's lost the weight but the cottage-cheese stomach doesn't qualify for a public appearance Jen. And as for the wig, that's another story.

JoJo, Akon and Paula DeAnda were at the Z100 Party Plane with DKNY JEANS to the Bahamas event:



Then backstage Jojo and Akon were spotted at the DKNY JEANS Gifting Suite. Akon looks disgusting. He gives me the creeps. Eek!

Here is the official album cover to Amerie's third album Because I Love It:



Me no like it. The album cover where she was rocking the green dress, was hot. As much as it looked too similar to Monica's After The Storm it was waaaaay better than this one. In the UK, the album drops 30th April 2007 but I am also reading that in the US the album may not drop until next year. Say what?

And um, I pray to the almighty that this picture is photoshopped because if it aint, this will NOT help Michael Jackson in his ploy to divert all accusations that he's homosexual or a potential paedophile.
Today, radio station Power 105 were all over it. This picture has just "resurfaced" and was supposedly taken around the time 3T recorded their duet "WHY" with uncle Michael 11 years ago but Michael seems to have taken a closer bond to his young nephew TJ who was 17 at the time:

And I was sooooo madly in love with TJ back in the day. But why is he half naked with his pubes out? I just don't get it. Apparently, the picture is an outtake from their WHY single cover:



Not that it makes the situation any better.

Vanessa Williams was accompanied by family and friends when she received her star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame:



This picture shows Vanessa and her children, Vanessa's mother and brother (at the end). A proud family moment. Vanessa's daughters are gorgeous especially the youngest one ( Rick Fox's daughter also). Gorgeous family.

And aha ... look who was spotted together out and about at an LA airport last week. Marques Houston and the chick that loves third grade black rappers/singers - Kim Kardashian!


Marques Houston has admited there is a special lady in his life putting "a smile on his face" and that the song "Kimberly" was inspired by her. "The song was written pretty much for my girlfriend, but the thing behind 'Kimberly' is that every woman has a 'Kimberly'. It's that freaky side, the woman that is so shy and softspoken, I'm pretty sure she has a 'Kimberly' side in the bedroom," Houston explained. While Houston remained tightlipped about the identity of his current love, he didn't deny a special relationship with Kim Kardashian, spokesmodel for Christopher Brian, the clothing line released by Houston's manager Chris Stokes. "Kim is my girl. That's my homegirl. We're doing a lot of business together. We are just friends, we are good friends," he said. [SOURCE]

Anyway, I am reading that his girlfriend is Paula KIMBERLY Miranda, so basically he's not going with Kim K or so he says. But Ray-J is his pal so it would come across as scandalous if he were dating his friend's ex. Marques' latest album "The Veteran" dropped yesterday by the way so if you like you some MH then go pick it up.

R&B CRUMBS!!!



1. Chris Brown's new single could be out in the next couple of weeks according to MTV today.
His sophomore album, Exclusive, is slated for release in August on Jive Records. The album's first single is still up in the air, but he's debating between two tracks: "Picture Perfect" and "Throwed." Our R&B prince didn't want to give up too many details about the two songs, but he said fans should be able to hear one of them soon, possibly within the next two weeks. Did you hear that people? TWO WEEKS. Now it really will be on and poppin!
2. R&B singer Ne-Yo has written a string of songs for troubled pop star Britney Spears, but may end up giving the tracks to "The Pussycat Dolls," front woman Nicole Scherzinger all because Britney didn't attend her studio sessions which they had booked. [SOURCE] Nicole's solo debut album "Her name is Nicole" is set to be released this June.
