When you think about the history of girl groups – I won’t say all, but some – which are the stories we always hear about? Some aren’t the best-ending situations,” she says. “But with Destiny’s Child, we did a great job of supporting each other and being there and still remaining close, so that’s what I’m most proud of us for.”
Despite her solo success, Rowland is philosophical about the possibility of a Destiny’s Child reunion. “Right now it’s not our number-one topic of conversation when we see each other, you know, but I think the most important thing is our love and support for each other.”
Ke$ha and Rihanna performed at the Echo Awards in Berlin, Germany. Rih did "Rude Boy" in which she was joined on stage by two robots, like in Chris Brown's "Tranform Ya" and BEP "Imma Be" videos. To me they were pretty useless, they groped her and at the end they jizzed on her. Great way to live up t the whole "I want to be a role model" statement.
“I am, yes,” he confirmed to MTV News. “I wish I could [tell you more details] — I can’t, unfortunately. If I tell you, I’m gonna give it away and then it’s not going to be the surprise that I want it to be. I can’t show you your gift before Christmas.”And although he wasn’t willing to name names, Ne-Yo did hint at some collaborations he was hoping to make happen. “Perhaps, maybe … no! No,” he said when asked if he could give is some specific details. “Just know I’m doing something a little different this time around. Just be expecting that were gonna bring back entertainment — that’s what were gonna do. Yes, I’ve decided to make it the lifetime of the gentleman.”
Female model, lips slightly parted, her head at eye-level to a male model’s crotch, the man’s hand on the back of her head. The message was clear: Man buys jeans, man gets lucky.
This ad was not just explicit, it was demeaning to women. After public pressure, billboard owner CBS Outdoor removed it yesterday. In its place is another, more civilized ad for the same clothing company, rapper T.I.’s Akoo line.
T.I. is hardly the first rap artist to expand on his fame by branching out with a hip-hop clothing line, or the first to use sexy advertisements to sell his products. The advertisements, like the music, too often treat women as nothing more than sexual props.
Racy fashion ads are nothing new, but it’s one thing to run them inside magazines, another to place them inescapably in the view of every man, woman and child walking through a major downtown intersection. The people of Newark deserve more respect.

“I think that’s bulls***,” she said. “I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.“If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans.“No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime.“It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing. Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid.“That is my take on my fans and life in general. My whole record is super-honest. I am really honest. When I am singing I may sound s*** sometimes but at least you’ll know I’m singing.”
“Keyshia Cole and Daniel Gibson are proud to announce the birth of their beautiful baby boy, Daniel Hiram Gibson Jr. born on March 2 at 11:54 P.M. weighing a healthy 7 lbs. 3 oz. The proud couple would like to thank everyone for giving them privacy during this special time. Keyshia would also like to give a special thank you to her fans that have been with her since the beginning sharing in her growth as a woman and an artist. Both mother and baby are doing great.”
According to Garrett, the project is already underway. “I got a record on Rihanna’s new album,” reveals the hitmaker. “She’s got some surprises.”
After a tumultuous 2009, the singer is back in a good place with her fifth studio album. “The record I gave her was very, very positive, very big. It’s a f*cking smash,” adds Garrett. “I gave her a humongous radio record. It’s just so infectious. It’s about getting past any drama and just being happy to be alive. It’s an encouraging record. It feels great and it’s got great tempo.”
Like some fans, he was surprised to hear the dark theme surrounding RiRi’s latest effort. “Whenever I think of Rihanna, it makes me happy. To be honest, I wasn’t really that excited about hearing her in a dark zone. I love Rihanna for being that girl… She’s like the lil’ fantasy chick—nice brown skin, beautiful woman with a Caribbean swagger that’s ridiculous.”
The man who’s penned hits for Beyoncé and Usher is confident his contribution will keep Rihanna at the top of the charts. “I made sure that it was bulletproof. It should be a single unless something crazy happens. It’s hot as fuck. I think it’s a record that’s gonna stay on the radio for a long time.”
