Earlier today, Rihanna attended Chanel Ready to Wear fashion show, just after jetting in from Dublin:

Well, this is a first. I am not liking Rihanna’s purple dress. Hair looked great. The natural-looking make-up looked nice but I just wasn’t feeling Rihanna’s get-up this time round. Maybe Rihanna decided to play dress up without the aid of her stylist who has been strictly on point as of late.

I guess purple was Rihanna’s Paris theme:

Again, not feeling the get up at all.

Just before she performed on stage at her Dublin gig, Rihanna was spotted shopping at Dublin’s Brown Thomas Department Store:

Like many young girls, Rihanna sure can shop til she drops. She looked mesmerised by her phone. She must be texting her fella Chris…..

Last night, Nicole Scherzinger was seen leaving Mr Chow’s in Los Angeles:

She was all smiles despite the shocking announcement that Carmit from the Pussycat Dolls has left the group “to pursue other projects”. Shocking. Just as Nicole decides to commit to PCD after a failed solo bid, Carmit goes and quits. Seems like Carmit may secretly have been seething about this.

Alicia Keys performed in my city Birmingham last night at the N.E.C. Alicia has kicked off her European tour and is currently in the UK:

She did London tonight as well. I would loved to have gone to this one but I had too much on. I did go to her last show and it was absolutely amazing.

Leona Lewis was spotted at Heathrow airport yesterday:

She looked kinda rough.

Meanwhile, Janet Jackson and her beau Jermaine Dupri were seen leaving Larry King earlier today where Janet did promo for Discipline:

She looked pretty. The show airs tonight in the US at 9pm. When the footage becomes available I’ll post it. Janet’s new video ‘Rock With U’ will premiere next week Wednesday (March 5th). Can’t wait.

Mario was spotted at LAX airport yesterday:

Nostrils sure has grown up nicely. The singer will be inhaling that cheque when he becomes a participant on Dancing With The
Stars.

Earlier this month in Des Moines, Iowa, Tatyana Ali and younger sister/business partner Anastasia participated in Senator Barack Obama’s Presidential election campaign:

The two of them were on a role in ‘Baracking’ the vote. Tatyana even appeared in the ‘Yes We Can’ video run by Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am which is inspired by Barack Obama’s message of hope. Tatyana has also completed her new album The Light which will be released independently this year.

Janet Jackson has been doing countless performances this week in promotion for new album Discipline. The latest one is a performance of ‘Feedback’ that took place on The Ellen Degeneres Show:

The performance was cool. But with the countless of promotion, it would be really embarrassing for her if she doesn’t exceed 200K next week considering that her last “flop” 20 Years Old sold close to 300K. Here are the first week and overall sales of all Janet’s albums starting with Control:

Control - (unknown). ——————– 5.4 Million.
Rhythm Nation:1814 - (unknown). —- 6.1 Million.
Janet. - 350,000. ———————— 8 Million.
The Velvet Rope - 202,000. ———– 3.6 Million.
All For You - 605,128. —————— 3.3 Million.
Damita Jo - 381,000. ——————- 998 Thousand.
20 Y.O. - 297,000. ———————- 648 Thousand.

Discipline is expected to sell 180K which means the album is set to become the WORST selling album ever as far as first week sales go. She should quit music after this before her legacy is damned to hell. Janet will also be on Larry King tonight at 9pm as well as The Tyra Banks show which is expected to be a one hour special. The Ellen interview is after the cut.

THE INTERVIEW:

Letoya Luckett dropped by V-103 Atlanta earlier this week before her performance in “Rumors” at the Atlanta Civic Center. She spoke to Ryan Cameron and Elle about the new album as well as performed an acapella of her hit single Torn:

She sounded absolutely flawless and has definetely stepped up her game in the vocal department. I am miffed at the fact that her album which was scheduled for a June release has now been demoted to “before the end of 2008″ status. It seems we’ll be waiting a while yet to hear the new music.

Check out this brand new track from Keri Hilson called ‘Get It Girl’. Not to get too excited as it’s not an official joint from Keri’s upcoming album In A Perfect World, but it’s taken from Timbaland’s first mobile album for Verizon Wireless subscribers:

KERI HILSON: GET IT GIRL
The beat is catchy but it’s very ‘Timbaland-eque’. As for what’s going on with Keri’s debut album, it’s scheduled for a summer release or at least we can keep our fingers crossed and hope that’s the case anyway.

OK. I’d like to set some ground rules and do a Janet by disciplining some motherfuckers. Whilst reading that Danity Kane thread, things just went from blatantly childish to outright ridiculous.

First off. The post was about Danity Kane so I didn’t appreciate the many Pussycat Doll essays that were cut n pasted here. In the future, please stick to the subject. I don’t mind a healthy dispute every now and then but make sure it’s about the topic at hand.

Secondly, MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES won’t be tolerated and few folks are still doing it. As to why I do not know, but you make yourself look like a coward when you choose not to post stuff under your regular username. I have already banned many folks for doing this as well as imitating others. I told you once but I won’t be telling you twice.

Lastly, I’d appreciate it if folks didn’t post news in the comments section because it draws attention away from the actual topic. If the news is related to the post then that’s okay but posting things not related to the topic is random and totally irrelevant. If you have something (R&B-related), email me instead. Or you can even use the shoutbox because at least you won’t be disrupting the posts.

Other than that, you’re free to insult each other, give each other a cyber dick-whipping and whatever else. I’m pro-freedom of speech for the most part.
