WEDNESDAY'S FABTACULAR R&B APPEARANCES!!!

So Beyonce is the new face of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. Our Bootylicious singer has gone Deja Vu with Samsung's Ultra Music (model name: SGH-F300). Interestingly enough, Samsung and Beyonce will participate in a string of TV commercials, advertisements, global concert tours, and other co-promotional activities. Samsung's Ultra Music TV commercial, starring Beyonce will kick off the campaign globally in April. In addition to Beyonce hooking up with Samsung, Ultra Music mobile users will have exclusive access to Beyonce's latest hit "Irreplaceable" which comes embedded in their mobile phones.

So now Beyonce follows Rihanna's lead. If they were smart, they'd have offered us a non-heard Beyonce track or one of those exclusive new video's that Beyonce did for her re-released album B'Day. It doesn't exactly make mobile users want to replace their phones anytime soon. Methinks I will stick to my current Siemens right about now until further notice. Hell, I'm not too fussy. As long as it has an mp3 player that can store up to 4,000 songs I am happy. Proceed with the post for more Beyonce goodness.

Beyonce was also spotted at the MTV studio's in New York:

Wow. She looked absolutely wonderful. The hair was lovely. Didn't look dowdy, puffy, bushy and no sign of any front-lace glue. I'm glad she ditched it in fact. It seems somebody in her camp read Toya's World and told her what was up. She looked totally immaculate from head to toe. I looove her jacket. And I'm also loving that hair colour. She needs to look like this at ALL TIMES. Absolutely gawjus!!!!! All is not going well for Beyonce as tickets for her UK tour are NOT selling. Only half of the tickets for the singer's British tour have been sold so far. Her popularity is waning big time despite her recent success with latest movie Dreamgirls, which bagged the movie a Golden Globe nomination. Bee is scheduled to play five dates across the country in June, but demand for the concerts has not been high. It has beeen blamed on the poor reception for her second solo album B-Day, which failed to match the massive success of her debut release Dangerously In Love. [SOURCE]

Watch Matthew Knowles blame Jennifer Hudson's camp when he goes out on one of his infamous boycotts yet again. Hahaha!

But she really needs to tell her fans of her mama's House of Dereon clothing line that if they want to look like her, wear clothes that fit their size OR well, lose the weight:

That is just absolutely ridiculous. I mean, the line is already getting enough flack as it is for being over-priced with ill-fitting sizes and situations like this just don't help the cause.

And she is also on the latest issue of Hitkrant magazine:

I'm on the fence on this one ....

Anyway, Blu Cantrell looked naturally refreshing this week when she paid a visit to Hyde nightclub:

Less is definetely soooo much more. For once, I have to shock myself and say she looks good.

Joss Stone played a Concert at MTV Studio's in Amsterdam this week:



Her new album Introducing Joss Stone dropped in the UK on Monday and Tuesday everywhere else. You know homegirl was promoting the hell out of that joint.

And um, here's the naked embrace picture from her album cover, the one that she did with her alleged new lover/producer Rapheal Sadaaq:

Dare I say it but this picture is pure hotness!!! I still don't get what she sees in Rapheal though. Everyone is saying he is a well-known bisexual and that he enjoys going to gay clubs on the regular. Joss is right to have a thang for the brothers though. She was rumoured to be dating British R&B singer Lemar but he denied it and said that nothing happened between them and that they are just good friends. Well, if that were the case why were you spotted holidaying with her in Barbados and why was your car spotted outside her Devon home from evening right up until the early hours? Sounds like a scenario of "friends with benefits" - not that there's anything wrong with it but Joss seems touch "n" go with all her relationships and I don't think she is suited in this one at all. Oh and last week, her ex-boyfriend, BEAU DOZIER stated that their sex-life was non-existant but in her latest track Tell Me 'Bout It, she is well, gagging for it.

Jennifer Lopez has a feature in the latest El Pais Magazine. These pictures were taken by photographer Javier Salas:



Not the best shoot I've seen though but nice. In a recent word association game, she was confronted about Kim Porter's nasty comments in Essence magazine. Here is some proportion of it:

First word: Puffy

Lopez grimaced. "Oh gosh, just any word? Strong. He is a strong character."

Kim Porter?

"Um I am not going to go there."

But when asked to respond to nasty comments that Porter, Puffy's baby momma, made about her to Essence magazine in October, Lopez took the high road.

"Look, she (Kim) knows what went on, I know what went on. And that is where we have to leave it. I am not going . . . to discuss any of the details of that intimate relationship that I had with the public. It's just not that necessary." [SOURCE]

I am really glad Jennifer decided to take the high road. Kim was bitter because Diddy dumped her for Jennifer and now that she got her man back and has the babies for him that Jennifer wanted and STILL can't have with her man, she is STILL bitter. Honestly, she is a grown-ass woman who needs to put this whole mess behind her. Jenny didn't put some love potion in his coffee to lure him away from her. Diddy dumped her for Jenny because HE WANTED TO. You cannot make a man leave his woman if he doesn't want to. It takes two, so she really needs to look at it that way. Some people just don't know how to count their blessings. And that is all I have to say about that. Geeez ...

This week, Lloyd launched the Entertainers 4 Education Alliance inaugural "In Theatre Event Series" at the AMC Lincoln Square Theatre in New York City and he chilled out with Miss Jones:

Weird. He is such a funny lookin' fella. Anyway he kicked it on 106 and did promotion for his new album Street Love.

Ne-yo co-hosted MTV's TRL this week and his latest new single Because Of You is a vintage-Michael Jackson style type of track and it rocks:

Damn, my eyes my eyes! Ciara co-hosted the other day and I posted the pics where she was showing main host Damien the moves to her Like A Boy video. R&B takes over TRL!

Musiq Soulchild also paid a visit to MTV's 106:

He got down and dirty with the host. His beautiful album Luvanmusiq dropped this week. Make sure ya'll cop it!

And Mario Vasquez was fishing around for some dick during his stint on American Idol 4:

Apparently, he is facing accusations that he tried to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of the hit show in February 2005. Before you know it, he dropped out from the show citing "personal reasons". I remember this like yesterday because I was rooting for him back then and, well, it was widely speculated that he dropped out because he feared an ex-boyfriend would lift the lid on their past relationship. [READ MORE @ TMZ] OK, he is a talented singer and finding out that he is gay did not stop me from enjoying his latest new album which I downloaded a couple of months ago. But look, if you want some dick, go visit a brothel or a gay nightclub or whatever. Hasn't he learnt anything from the George Michael scenario? Shame shame shame.

Stay tuned. Stay entertained.
