Mariah Carey Stunning American Idol Medley Performance!

Which douche bag said Mariah Carey can't sing anymore? The gorgeous pop music diva performed a medley of some of her greatest hits during Thursday night's American Idol finale. In a beautiful white embellished mermaid inspired gown, Mariah sung her way through some of her most memorable hits beginning in 1990 with Vision of Love and ending with her latest song featuring Miguel - Beautiful. She still is, and will always be one of the greatest female singers ever.
Whitney & Mariah are my faves.

Kelly Rowland New Single: Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry is Kelly Rowland's amazing new second single from the upcoming album Talk a Good Game.  Kelly opens up so wholeheartedly about her solo career after Destiny’s Child and watching Beyoncé’s career take off while she was left feeling discouraged. Lyrics are deep.
 
'When my sister was on stage, killin’ it like a motherfu**er/ I was enraged, feelin’ it like a motherfu**er/ Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with/ Went our separate ways, but I was happy she was killin’ it/ Bittersweet, she was up, I was down.'
 
Kelly also reveals heart-breaking details of an abusive relationship with an ex-boyfriend.  'I was battered, he hit in a window like it was me until it shattered/ He pulled me out, he said, ‘Don’t nobody love you but me, not your mama, not your daddy, and especially not B.' This is a serious eye opener. I have a new found respect for Kelly. Oh my goodness..
 
Talk a Good Game is released June 18th.

Danity Kane reuniting?

Am I the only one who still listens to Danity Kane? I doubt it. They were super hot, I miss them. Remember the first season of MTV’s Making The Band? It's been so long.. TMZ recently caught up with the girls – Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex and Aundrea Fimbres. But where's D Woods?
 
They were asked my reporters if they are working on new material or working with Diddy at present,  Aubrey responded - 'Who’s that?!' Omggg. It has been reported that the ladies are under manager and plan to record new music as well as tour together under the name Danity Kane. Too exciting!

Rihanna River Island Summer Collection

Get ready chicas! In 10 days Ri Ri will be revealing more dope threads with River Island. On May 25, Rihanna will release four collections with the popular UK clothing brand. Man she's dope!
'I just wanted stuff that I want to wear because, at the end of the day, that’s what got me into designing. Seeing things on the rack that were great but it could have been a little more me, it could have fit me better. Maybe they could have been a little longer or shorter, or have a little more sex appeal or a little less. I needed to make clothes for fat days. I just wanted to make stuff that I could wear. I was being selfish. But hopefully, my friends and people who shop at River Island will have the same taste. I made a piece for everybody in my crew.'

Now this looks like a hot cast. Thus autumn, Director David E. Talbert brings us a great new romantic comedy flick - Baggage Claim. It totally seems like a Tyler Perry style production. Based on the life of a flight attendant named Montana Moore played by Paula Patton - She has an epic panic moment slash wake up call after realising she is the only female in her family to have never walked down the aisle! 
 
When younger sister played by Lauren London's wedding fast approaches. Montana is on a desperate mission to find a man asap. And not just any man. Husband potential. With the help of her bestie played by the wonderful Jill Scott, Montana embarks on a journey to find Prince Charming, which include a P.Diddy wannabe   - Trey Songz,  an attorney-turned-councilman - Taye Diggs, and a multimillionaire who is 20 years older played by Djimon Hounsou. Haha, genius!
 
This is soooooo my kind of movie. The cast also features the ridiculously handsome Boris Kodjoe,  Christina Milian, La La Anthony, Tia Mowry-Hardrict - Trey's mad crazy baby Mom's and former BET 106&Park Host - Terrence J. Catch out the trailer below until September 27th when the film hits movie theatres..
 


Is Ciara getting married?

Yesterday morning a naturally humbled as always, chilled and gorgeous Ciara stopped by The Wendy Williams Show for a catch up. Ci Ci talks to Wendy about a number of things, most importantly Future and whether they are planning on tying the knot. She also reveals all about her workout regime, her food weaknesses, the alleged 'beef' with Bajan bombshell Ri Ri,and her friendship with Kim Kardashian. Wendy equally looks great. My favourite part is at 9:50secs..
