WEDNESDAY'S JUICY R&B SCOOP ...

Rihanna continues to attack the European headquarters this week. This time she was spotted rocking some new hair-pieces as she was leaving her hotel in Paris yesterday, clutching her new album. Is there no end to this girl's forever changing yet flamboyantly-inspired image? After strenuous promotion in the UK and Germany, Rih-Rih is now in Paris to continue her Good Girl Gone Bad promotional campaign (her next stop will be Australia and the Asian continent):

As far as those thighs are concerned, it seems that Rih-Rih was kidding herself when she appeared in US Weekly last week talking about her new size 2 which she achieved on a 2-week work-out as well as a diet of lemon water, eggs and chicken. Hmmm ... Rih-Rih is naturally curvaceous so she should embrace her curves. I am definitely an ambassador for the "lurve your curves" campaign. Nobody wants to look like Nicole Richie getting sucked out by a powerful vacuum cleaner.

And here are more pictures of Rihanna leaving hotel Nurano as she heads to NRJ radio station, Paris, France:

She sure was living up to her "Umbrella". LOL! I have to admit that I am sooooo loving this hairstyle. It suits her so much better than the mushroom cut (which was actually a wig and NOT her real hair).

And here is Rihanna on the set of new video Shut Up & Drive:

Uh-huh. The very video that Def Jam are spashing out $600,000 dollars on. She was spotted shooting the vid in Prague. I can not even wait to see the end result of that one. Interesting.

And um, check this:



In other Rihanna news, word has it that Rihanna, Beyonce AND Jay-Z have all agreed to appear on a track together. The track will allegedly be used as a remix song or a bonus track for Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad album. I won't put much emphasis on this news until I actually hear it from Rihanna, Beyonce or Jay-Z himself (the one who supposedly put this whole thing together) as it sounds just a little too good to be true. Plus, the site who managed to "attain" such info isn't the most credible of sources (no offence) but we will have to sit this one out ... for now.

Mel B doesn't do things by halves as she has found herself a new man WEEKS after giving birth:



The new man in question is movie director Stephen Belafonte. The couple have been hitting all of the top LA clubs in the past few weeks - making sure everyone knows they're the new hot couple in town and are now house-hunting together. I would normally say, give your vagina a rest before going down that route. I do agree with her that she should move on though because Eddie Murphy really did dog her out - BADLY. But I just think she's moving a little too fast. House hunting? Well, if she's positive he's the one then good luck to her. She deserves happiness after what she's been through.

Britney Spears just doesn't give a "fuck" and she's showing that to us LITERALLY when she was spotted out in LA this week:



I know she's working on getting her life back together again but chick still clearly has issues. Hating your mom for trying to help you is indicative that she STILL hasn't grown up as she continues to possess the child-like mentality. I do look forwards to her comeback since Ne-yo, Pharrell, Stargate and others have done work on her comeback album but she really needs to get it together. I'd consider such behaviour as rather cool if she wasn't a mother of two, but clearly Britney just isn't there yet.

Danity Kane's Aubrey was spotted at Vienna's Town Hall looking completely cracked out:



Looks like chick has some major issues going on. Every time we see her she is always wide-eyed and sometimes a little oblivious to her surroundings. She has never looked like this before so what happened? What happened to Danity Kane, period? It's a known fact that signing up with Diddy is career suicide. I feel really sorry for the next victims of Making The Band.

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobby Kristina appears to be growing into her looks and has developed some cuteness judging by these personal pictures she decided to share with us this week:



At one time, and please forgive me, but she was looking like her cracked out, burnt and crusty-lipped, extremely unpleasant-looking father Bobby Brown. Now the only thing she has of his is that infamous gap between her teeth, which could do with fixing. Other than that, she's growing up to be a nice-looking young woman.

A new male R&B artist is in town and he goes by the name of DC Yeager. Here is a track of his called Let Me Know and it features Ne-yo:



The track is slamming. A slow-tempo R&B track with smooth vocals surrounded by a cool sensuality. I cannot wait to hear more from this guy. He sounds good to me. I would say he is a mix between my man Craig David, Jon B and Robin Thicke. Check it out! [thanks Lindsay]

Check out our new American Idol Jordin Sparks singing to Mariah's "Dreamlover" and "Hero" when she was little:


Aww! Definetely a star in the making. So much cuteness. I just love seeing a star's childhood's performances before they hit the big time. I remember posting the video of a young Rihanna singing Mariah's "Hero" some months ago. It seems that track is amongst the favourites when it comes to childhood performances.
