THAT'S A GOOD LOOK KEISH

Our girl Keisha was at Floyd Mayweather's (another hot pisces) Bday party in Vegas at Jet. Sources say Floyd danced all night long until almost 4 a.m. and was joined by R&B Songstress Keyshia Cole. When her hit song “Let It Go” pumped through the club’s sound system, the crowd went into overdrive hysteria. Prior to Jet, Floyd dined with 20 of his closest friends and family at the adjoining Stack Restaurant with Keyshia in their party. ***Let the rumors begin***

THIS IS CRACK: New MC Video "Touch My Body"

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (Video Premiere)
Uploaded by wonderful-life1989

This comes from a certified MC hater. PS loves the fact that the video took the song in a different direction yet it still applied. We were expecting some xrated nonsense. Love the comedic spin. Yet again Janet loses in that JD totally delivered for MC and not her.

B*TCH PLEASE: JoJo

[ON TURNING DOWN THE HANNAH MONTANAH ROLE THAT NOW BELONGS TO MILEY CYRUS]

Another mistake that is stated on the Wikipedia page is that I turned down the Hannah Montanna role because of my hectic schedule. This is not true. I was not interested in doing a television show like that because I did not want to be that kind of artist. I am more concerned with being a legitimate artist; not one created for the captive tween audience, from a television show. They were going to use the same formula that they did with Hillary Duff and her show, and I did not want to be a manufactured artist. I wanted to do it on my own; the old fashioned way; with talent, determination, and hard work, and without a television show, which is fed to the tween masses. This is the same reason I have turned down every reality show that has been offered to me, since I signed my record deal. For me, it is about integrity.

WANT TO DRESS LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE?

Apparently all the young girls in London want to dress like Amy. Plans are in play for Amy to bring out a range of cosmetics and fashion products. There could be hairspray, head scarves, liquid eyeliner, and perfume. The girls over there have funky fashion sense and wear things I wouldn't wear on halloween, but to each it's own. And to answer your question, NO the makeup will not be made of crack. sheesh....

[ON DATING CHRIS BROWN]

“Are you serious? That is funny to me, he’s about 10. He’s like a brother to me. I don’t see him like that at all. I wouldn’t rule out dating a younger guy though.”

JANET PERFORMED ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

She's stepped her lipsinging game up. Now she even ads adlibs. This is her first performance of Feedback and I'd give it a B+.


Clearly there were some technical difficulties in the beginning. It's hard having a live band and lipsinging at the same time. I love this song, classic Janet. I'd give it an A.

NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE: Lil Wayne

[WAYNE ON WHETHER HE AND 50 CENT HAVE BEEF]

"That n---a's crazy, Wayne laughed. "I ain't f---ing with 50. He's too high up there. That's my n---a, though. I respect that my name even came out the homie's mouth. I just took it as a compliment. I would never go back at 50; he's a trillionaire. I'm trying to get there, homie. I'm smart. I ain't dumb."

HOT NESS OF THE WEEK

WINNERS: We have a tie this week. 1) The dapper Nelly and exceptional beauty Lauren London hosted this year's rip the runway. It will air on BET on March 4. It was executive produced by Diddy. That means his jumpoff, the ever so talent-less, Cassie was in the building. 2) Next, we have Brad and Angie at the Spirit awards making it clear that damn b*tch is preggers again. Humanitarian, Smart, and can still stay barefoot and pregnant. A man's dream I guess.

HOT ASS MESS OF THE WEEK

WINNER: Kelly Rowland, you are so irrelevant now that Instyle magazine called you Michelle Williams. Now that should hurt. How could anyone tell the difference anyway.

NOMINEES included:

All we can say is "Crack is Wack"

This girl that sang lip gloss again. Granted she looks better than usual but that's not saying much. This unfortunate lil girl is getting on my last nerve. You are not a star. Hell you don't even have an album. Stop disturbing my eyes.
