Rihanna behind the scenes covergirl



Yes I no I keep saying it but the Rihanna publicity machine has gone into overdrive and staying forever on the grind she snags this week's JET magazine cover.



Jennifer Lopez performs at Walmarts
I was wondering why in the world would La Lopez be performing at


What brought the 37-year-old triple threat to a smelly ole shareholders meeting in backwoods Arkansas? A cool check for $500 000.

La Lopez was reportedly paid over a half mil to perform a medley of her hits in front of a bunch of Wal-Mart employees and execs before dashing back to her multi-million dollar pad in Miami.

The entire gig, from airport to airport, lasted only a few hours.

Kim K Covers LA Direct (What???)

Yes Hoes work too, don't ask me what Kim Kardashian does apart from hosting partys. making sex tapes and fucking every brother in hollywood but here she is on the cover of LA Direct magazine.

Rihanna Does Giant Magazine

Rihanna is not letting up she is firing on all cylinders and this time she is getting her grown and sexy on in the new issue of Giant Magazine.

In the interview she addresses the rumours about her and her label boss, Jay-Z. She says:

“I guess it’s just the affiliation with him. Being a female and being on his label and having a close business relationship. I guess that sparks the rumors. I’m guessing. Because there’s no other way. At first it was funny, like Ah this is so funny! Why would they think this? Really? Ew. Then it was like they’re still talking about this? This is getting a little frustrating now. Can they cut this out? Because it got really intense where people just weren’t letting up. Then it turned into a “beef” between me and Beyonce. I was like where are these people going with this? This is crazy.”

With Umbrella sitting pretty on top of the Billboard Hot 100 with digital sales of over 277,000, surely Good Girl Bad is a dead cert for the top of the album charts next week. Rihanna has been everywhere recently but you have to admit that all her hard work is paying off. All this talk of Rihanna's chart success just makes me wonder why Kelly Rowland doesn't take a page out of her book and step her promo game up. Naturally you would have thought that Kelly would be next in line to follow Beyonce's lead into superstar status but it seems like a losing game since Like This is nowhere to be seen in the Hot 100 top 50.

While we are on a this Rihanna overload peep a brand new promo pic for Good Girl Gone Bad below:

Flawless! Can't hate Rihanna is doing the damn thing!

Jibbs: Smile {Video}

Smile is the fourth single from Jibb's debut album, Jibbs feat. Jibbs (such a rubbish title). It features Fabo from D4L.

Nelly Furtado Performs @ Hard Rock Live

Nelly Furtado started the American leg of her Get Loose Tour with a performance at the Hard Rock Seminole Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida Wednesday night.

Mini Upgrade!

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony attended the 20th Anniversary Children's Health Fund Gala Dinner in New York City last night.

I haven't seen Jlo out and about for a hot minute, I'm sure she was probably one of the only A-list celebs not at the Cannes Film Festival. I guess skeletar must be keeping her under lock and key trying to breed her up or maybe she is busy in the studio working with Swizz Beatz and J.R. Rotem on her fifth English studio album. Three tracks have already been confirmed for the untitled album which are "Brave", "Wrong When You're Gone", and "Stay Together". The album is slated for release in September.



Another day, another Beyonce post. Here she is performing in Marseille in France Tuesday night. It seems like B has been on her European tour for ages and she still hasn't reached the UK yet.





Rihanna is still in Paris on her promo tour, I wonder if these two have met up for dinner after their respective performances and engagements while in France. Anyway Rihanna leaves the hotel Nurano and heads to NRJ Radio yesterday.

It seems that Riri forgot to bring her Umbrella-ella-ella since the one she is using belongs to the hotel. Lol!



The new issue of Self Magazine includes a six-page feature on British actress and Pirates Of The Caribbeans 3 star Naomie Harris. Peep the pics below:

Say It Ain't So: The Ho Strikes Again

TMZ have finally obtained pictures of Reggie Bush and walking STD, Kim Kardashian in a clinch which confirms that the NFL star and the slut are making vomit-inducing music together. So I guess all this talk about her banging Evan Ross is false.



I ain't got much to say about this fiasco since I quit this ho ages ago. Why Reggie why? I'm convinced that this bitch must have some golden coochie designed to attract all the brothers. Damn!


Moving along, Aisha Tyler and shows off her home in the June issue of Instyle Magazine
According to IMDB Aisha recently finished filming two new films, Death Sentence and Ball Of Fury which are both set for release sometime this year.


Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams is also featured in the same issue of Instyle Magazine:

The prolific rapper returns with the first single The Game,from his new album Finding Forever. The Game is produced by Kanye West and features scratches from DJ Premier.

The Buzz!

Kelly Rowland Gets Wet & Wild with King

Kelly graces the cover of King's June/July wet issue and I have to say she looks as gorgeous as ever but its still kinda boring since this is King Magazine we are talking about here I hope the scans inside make up for this. View behind the scene footage of the shoot at KING.COM.

Its good to see that she has stepped her promotion game up for the forthcoming July 3rd release of her sophomore album, Ms Kelly. I know like my me you can't wait for Ms Kelly to finally drop but I still keep thinking more should be done for it to garner the same heat as Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad album. Anyway although there is more to be done Kelly is on the right track she is getting mad press all over the place because everyone wants her album to do really well.

With the mention of mad press, she also covers the new issue of Bleu Magazine:


While you are patiently waiting for Kelly's "comeback" listen to snippets from Ms Kelly here


Speaking of Rihanna, here she is leaving her hotel in Paris yesterday clutching her new cd:
She is still on her whirlwind European tour promoting Good Girl Gone Bad, which is due for release June 5. I have got a good feeling about this album and its set to do big things with Umbrella already topping the charts in the UK and Ireland and top 10 in Russia, Sweden and Finland.

Rihanna was in Prague earlier this week shooting the video for her new single Shut Up And Drive. As I keep saying Def Jam is not letting up on the promo blitz for Good Girl Gone Bad, they are so confident that it's going to do well they offered Rihanna a $600,000 budget for the Shut Up And Drive video. Surely she has hit the big time now! Peep pics from the video shoot below:

50 Cent Bumps Back Curtis & Covers Vibe Magazine

All this talk of promos and new releases reminds me: 50 cent as bumped back the release of his third album Curtis from June 26 to Sept. 4. Fiddy's excuse is that he wants all his international fans to get the album at the same time as his US fans. Whatever you say 50, so it's not because new singles Amusement Park and Straight to the Bank are both garbage then. mmm!



Like Kelly and Riri, Fiddy is getting his promo on, he covers the July issue of Vibe Magazine looking as constipated as hell. I wonder WTF Vibe bosses were thinking when they decided on this shot for the cover, although the headline asks: "Who is afraid of 50 Cent?" I think they should ask "Who is laughing at 50 Cent" because this shit is sure as funny as hell to me. I wonder what Cam'ron thinks about this? Lol!


Well gimmicks aside Fiddy is forever on the grind and now he is laughing "straight to the bank" since Coca-Cola purchased Glacéau, a company that produces vitamin water for $4.1 billion dollars which he invested in. He invested in the company in 2004 and owns 10% of the company. According to reports Fiddy is set to earn an estimated $400 million dollars from the sale. You gotta respect Fiddy's hustle he chats pure shit most times but his business ventures are always on point.


B-Rocka Can't Catch A Break, Sued Again


R&B star Brandy Norwood has been hit with another lawsuit connected to the December (06) car crash that cost her a job as a judge on U.S. TV show America'S Got Talent.

Mallory Ham, one of the survivors of the fatal car crash the singer/actress stands accused of causing, has filed suit in Los Angeles, stating Brandy should not have been speeding in her Range Rover on the 405 freeway in California.

In the lawsuit, Ham states Brandy "recklessly wantonly, unlawfully, and maliciously" operated the car responsible for causing a collision that claimed the life of Awatef Aboudihaj.

Ham, who is the third person suing Norwood over the crash, claims she was "severely injured" as a result of the multi-car accident, and is demanding the singer pay her medical bills as well as her legal costs and punitive damages.

Meanwhile, Norwood has responded to a wrongful death suit filed against her as a result of the accident.

In her papers, the singer denies allegations against her and calls for a jury trial, so she can face the charges levelled against her.

Poor lamb, Brandy really can't catch a break, this was an unfortunate accident but everyone seems determined to get their pound of flesh because Brandy is a celebrity. With lawsuits flying from left to right I'm sure Brandy must be really distressed because not only did someone die in the accident but her recording career is in the wilderness at the moment. Not to mention that her hoe of a brother is pimping himself around Hollywood when he should be comforting his poor sis. My prayers are with you Brandy I know what it feels like to be kicked when you're down.
