American Music Awards 2009 Red Carpet Arrivals - HOTNESS!

Rihanna turned up to the awards show in this waist cinching cut out dress! Not this is defo one of those Love it or Hate it outfits... and I LOVE IT!! I love that she's so daring with her wardrobe. Its different and stylish all in one, gets a big 'HAWT' stamp in my books :-)

I think Alicia Keys looked absolutely STELLA in this blue sparkly get up!It shows her curves without over doing it, and shows those legs she loves to show off!I don't always think she stands out when it comes to fashion, but this is another 'HAWT' pick for me!

Since Keri Hilson snipped off the mullet pony tail and got rid of the high lights... Ive had to do a double take every time I look at her new pictures!She is defo getting her grown and sexy on now-a-days......This years AMA fashion was mostly about the 'mini dress', and Keri pulls it off nicely. Very 'HAWT' well done mama!

Toni Braxton looked comfortable and sexy in her flowing black dress. The high slit gave the dress the 'sex appeal' factor that worked really well. Awww and look at her son, looks just like his mama! I like this look on Toni.. 'HAWT'

Drake is keeping up the 'dapper' appearance and Im luvin it!He's definitely GQ'in it in this picture.... another one for the 'HAWT' books!

New Music!

Jennifer Lopez - Louboutins

Jenny from the block is returning to her music with her 1st official single 'Louboutins', off her sixth studio album 'Love?'. The Dream & Tricky Stewart produced track was originally given to Brandy before she left Epic Records. I'm glad J.Lo picked up the track because this isn't B's style AT ALL! It's suited for someone who doesn't have a very strong voice... ( ENTER J.LO). It's not a song I would download from iTunes... but if I heard it on the radio I'd definitely bop my head along to the beat!

Jennifer will be performing this song LIVE at this years American Music Awards - The show will air in America this Sunday (Nov 2nd) @ 8pm/7 c. Other performers on the night include Rihanna, BEP, Mary J Blige, Jay-Z, Lady GaGa, Whitney Houston. Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and Shakira. GREAT line up!!

Timberland ft/ Justin Timberlake - Crazy Girl

Timbo is back with another album 'Shock Value: 2', and as usual he's bringing a few heavy hitters along for the ride! 'Crazy Girl' didn't make the official track lisiting for the album, but it as a track intended for the album! The dynamic duo fail to 'WOW' me on this track, but it doesn't disappoint either...I can see defo see why it didn't make the cut. To me it sounds like a recycled beat - something that ive heard from Timberland before. Having said that, production wise no one is really touching Timbo! A nice track... the two work well together.

What's Poppin In The UK?

How did I miss this? Hooooowwwwwww did I flaming miss this! I live literally 20 minutes away from Westfields and a miss another appearance lol ZAMMIT!

Mariah Carey was spotted turning on the Christmas Lights @ Westfield's Shopping Centre in London yesterday (Nov 19th). The singing fan fav supposedly sang a few of her tracks, then turned on the lights for shoppers! Awww how lovely... I was telling my friend the other day while we shopped in Westfields (ironically lol), that when I think of Christmas .. Mariah's "All I want For Christmas" sticks out in my head the most!! Just gives you that Christmassy feeeeeel... :-)

So as many of you already know, this years X-FACTOR has been (to put it quite honestly) SHIT! Maybe because last year had such a good overall group of TALENTED singers.... this year's group look even worse! I have refused to watch the show anymore to contribute towards the shows 14m viewers...... so now I just watch it on Sunday on Youtube LOL!
It has been officially confirmed that Bajan born RIHANNA will be performing 'Russian Roulette' on the results show! As will NY beauty ALICIA KEYS - the star will perform her single 'Doesn't mean anything'.So not this Sunday, but the next one...... Looks like it's Sky Plus Time!

SUNDAY 29TH - THE X-FACTOR RESULTS SHOW - RIHANNA & ALICIA KEYS

Alexandra Burke is heading stateside again, to film the video for her brand new single 'Broken Heels'. She was spotted arriving at Heathrow airport with her crew yesterday (Nov 19th). The X-Factor star has also revealed that she wants to start touring "as soon as possible"... Hmmmm not too sure about that move, it is pretty early in her career! However touring makes an artist the most money, so GO MAKE THAT PAPER!

Party In The USA!

This week has been PARTY CENTRAL in the U.S, and as usual the celebritys have been out in their numbers to support eachother!

Fab celebrated his 32nd Birthday the other night at Hotel Rivington in NYC (Nov 18th). Although we don't really hear much from Fab over here in the U.K, a few heavy hittersturned up to support him at his party. Jay-Z, Diddy, Tyreese and Amber Rose were all in the building! C Lister Adrianne Bailon (formally of 3LW) also attended the event - A few months ago Adrienne was linked to Fab romantically, but she shut down the rumours real quick, saying that they were 'Only Friends'.....hmmm. Anyway it looked like a fun night! Do ya'll remember when Fab KEPT spelling his name out on records? F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S.... dude was definetly hooked on phonics...

British and X-Factor born star Leona Lewis was spotted along with industry friends, at her album launch party for 'ECHO'. The event was held at Hyde Lounge on Tuesday (Nov 17th) - Leona looked cute in her purple body con dress and corset styled belt... but I felt she cudda pulled a better outfit out the bag. Ciara on the other hand was KILLING it that night! She looked amazing in her little black dress with a pair of Maggie's by Christian Louboutin... GET EM CI CI! Eve also showed up to the event - I'm not sure what look she was going for but it gets a blank stare from me ---> :-|

GQ magazine recently honoured Drake, Wale and Kid Kudi in their latest 'MEN OF THE YEAR' issue! The 3 new comers were among some of the great honorees - including President Obama,Kobe Bryant and Clint Eastwood. The party was held at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood on Wednesday night (Nov 18th). Drizzy attended with his barbie label mate Nicki Minaj - the two clean up VERY well!! Now many of you know from my previous posts, that Drake is one of my FAVOURITE rappers. However ....ive never looked at him in a "he's sexy" type of way... But I MUST admit in that picture above he could get it on replay!!! The dapper/clean look is defo doing it for him.... and me lol

New Videos!

Beyonce ft/ Lady GaGa - Video Phone (Extended remix)

Ive been waiting like an extra week to see this video, and I wasn't left disappointed or extra happy after watching it. I don't feel the video has shown ANY type of growth! It looks like a video from the 'B'Day' collection - so who ever edited this or chose the direction, I feel they could have produced a much better video on a whole.
Having said that, B is a bad bish and kills it every time! I enjoyed the colour backdrops & different fierce outfits. The break down with lady gaga was dope too. I LOVEEE B .... & this video is Sexyy and fierce. But I feel like I wanted a lil more than that from her this time around.......

Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping with a broken heart



Alicia Keys is known for her video's with a story line, and this is another one to add to the stack! I actually really liked the song when I first heard it,and after seeing the video.. I'm kinda left nodding and saying "that was nice". I got the concept of being a super hero and still having a a broken heart.. the lil girl's dog died and she healed the girls broken heart.. and so on and so on. Although she looks effortlessly beautiful as usual, everything was just "nice" about the video and the song. Nothing HOT or FIERCE........ But maybe sometimes a lil nieceness is needed?

Shakira ft/ Lil Wayne - Give it up to me



I lubbsss me some shakira! Some people don't really get her or her voice, but it's just different and I like that about her. You can tell that this video was quickly put together if I'm honest..... The catchy Timberland produced track, has been added to her album listing at the last minute - I think her record company made a smart decision! I'm so over hearing wayne on EVERYONES track now.....the choreography was good, the song is catchy..... a solid effort from Shakira.

UK Music News

The ORIGINAL Sugababes set to reform?

As most of you know by now the current 'Sugababes', no longer have any founding/original members left in the group. The rumors of reforming come a few weeks after FOUNDING member Keisha Bunchanan was kicked out of the group - and replaced by Euro vision singer Jade Ewen.

According to Holy Moly the original line up ( Siobhan,Mutya & Keisha) are planning to reform and come back together as a group!! It's been said that Mutya has gotten back in contact with Siobhan who is some what reluctant about the reform, but is willing to hear her out. They've also been to their THIRD meeting with the record label to discuss future plans. If all of this really is happening then I CANNOT WAIT for all the madness to unfold!! :-D..... Happy Daysss.

Rachel Adedji To Work With JLS writers!

-Says it like the man on X-Factor- RAACCHEEELL ADDEDDJIIII is set to work with JLS writers some time in the future! The London native was booted off the X-Factor two weeks ago, after being in the bottom two TWICE BEFORE. Although Rachel had one of the best SINGING voices in the competition, viewers just weren't getting her as a person.
Rachel let slip in an interview that the JLS boys had informed her that Daniel Bullard (who wrote 'Beat Again'), wanted to work with the quirky styled singer ASAP! She better not come out with that cheesy crap.... anywho, we wish her nothing but the best!

JLS top the Charts with 'Everybody In Love'!

Middle of the road Boy Band sensation 'JLS' are once again at #1. JLS have made history as they are the ONLY act this year to have TWO singles sell over 100k in it's first week! Considering the runners up on X-Factor often go straight back to their day job, it's actually worked in their favour that they came second - they're doing SO WELL. Ive had my doubts about their material, and the fact that they've gone pop mainstream.... But I do give credit where credit is due and their doing an excellent job of proving people wrong! JLS can also add another line to their resume, as their tour is now officially SOLD OUT. Well done boys :-)

Joss Stone 'Lily Allen Is Not A Singer'

Soulful UK singer Joss Stone revealed to the papers that she doesn't think Lily Allen is a 'Singer'. The 22 year old released her album 'Colour Me Free' last week Monday after a long messy battle with her record label! She insisted that artists should just accept the fact that their music will be downloaded, and that they should make their money from touring instead.

"She (Lily) needs to sell records because she's not a singer, and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too," she told The Mirror.

"I think she's a performer and she's more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that's what we make our money from, from playing live.

"I think it's probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It's really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that's how they make their money is selling those records.

"So the downloads - she's not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let's just accept it and let's see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers."

Allen was supported and backed by some songwriters/artists to stop the illegal download of music.

I forgot about Joss for a hot minuteeee. I actually really liked some of her stuff, she has a nice tone to her voice! Ya'll remember this?

Don't cha wanna rideeeeee babbyyyyyyyy -bops my head-...
