IN OTHER NEWS

According to TMZ.com: Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism. A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.....

what a donkey

Damion "Damizza" Young, producers/ executive, has a new book coming out called "Guilty By Association." Mariah Carey, by way of her lawyer, is attempting to block the release of the book with a cease and desist notice! Apparently, Damizza has done some work, personal and professional ( i guess that could be the same) and he plans to talk about it.

Very credible sources inside Alicia’s camp (on the personal management side) have dished to TheYBF.com that Alicia Keys threw a party last night at the NY’s Guggenheim Museum. Damn Akey, I'm still not going to believe this until I have more confirmation.

Dating Maino...I know who cares?

DONKEY OF THE YEAR: Contender #2

A hot mess indeed you are Jessica Simpson...Team Carrie

CIARA IS PISSED AND SHE'S SUING

Ciara made a vlog on the set of the Vibe magazine shoot talking about 'suggestive nudity' and it was classy....and I'm thinking, are we seeing the same pics. I figured she was making excuses to her fans for showing her azz on Vibe magazine. The cover looks like she's taking a constipated crap on the floor while naked (mouth open and all...) I thought it was a little out of character but whateva...

Just as I began to accept this new hoochified version of Ciara, Perez Hilton gets an exclusive that Ciara intend to sue Vibe because of the cover. According to Perez:

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that songstress Ciara's one-two-stepping Vibe magazine to court because the shady pub - according to her - airbrushed all the clothes off of her in a recent cover photo.

The song and dance queen appears to be naked on the October Vibe cover, but sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that she DID NOT pose nude and that she's suing Vibe for making it appear as such.

This is the same Vibe that quoted Chris Brown as saying 'I don't want no Ciara' and making a stinky face...which he denied later and even went on to tell Giant magazine he tried to holla at Ci 3x in the past which she turned down. The same Vibe magazine that put Toni Braxton on the cover naked which she later announced she did not pose like that and they erased her clothes digitally. The same Vibe magazine that posted a hideious pic of Mary J which pissed her off so much she vowed never to pose for the magazine again.

Looks like there are a lot of people are determined to damage the character of the Princess these days. But in her own words..."they couldn't touch me if they tried." Brush it off and keep on the grind Cici.

Ciara's new album comes out in December 2008 and according to her label, her first worldwide tour is scheduled for 2009.

SONG/PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY: Madonna

The way "Vougue" should be performed. The entrance alone...better than anything on Fashion Rocks this year.

Live:

Lipsingin:

Either way still greater than any cover

FASHION ROCKS RECAP

Okay so I tivo'd the show and it was okay. The break-down

BEST DRESSED

WORST DRESSED

THE PERFORMANCES (click on names to see performances)
JT, BEY, KID ROCK & MARY made the night. Timberfake's falsetto is sumin else...although I like Aaliyah's rendition of the first song betta. And is it me or is Kid Rock really doing it good these days....And Mary brought it, can't copy that swag....JT an Bey seemed to be having fun. And they're right, ain't nuthin like the real thing so they should have all been replaced with the original singers. Or even the guy in the band at the end...It was the best of the night...collectively.

FERGIE did it and did it well. I think she would have kilt the "Vogue" rendition as well a little better... the original singer's tone was much better for this song. Ferg has okay vocals but great energy on stage...this was good.

SOLANGE is a complete Amy Winehouse knockoff...I like the original better. But I must say this was good. Look at Beyonce, Matthew, supporting ....Bey is such a wonderful sister. This was good.

BEYONCE did her rendition of 'At Last.' This song I plan to play at my wedding as the fist song me and my hubby dance to. Beyonce did try and she even added that extra rrrrrrr when she hit some notes to pretend to have soul. I liked it mainly because I like the song. We all know the original can be touched closest by Christina Aguilera. Beyonce did okay the soul is just not felt. And no extra rrrrr behind the notes can give you that feel. However, if not comparing, it was a solid effort.

CHRIS BROWN doing Sam Cooke? Well he tried anyway. No doubt the boy is talented but it was a good thing that he focused on his own song. And lipsinging was also a good decision, his handlers are making good decisions for him. If there was ever a flipping contest, I'd pick him first. It was entertaining and a solid effort.

TIMBO, ONE REPUBLIC, PCD, CHRIS CORNELL did a lil sumin. I'm ova Timbo at this point, but that One Republic song still knocks.

MARIAH CAREY opted to just do her own song since she is a living legend. My people on the ground said indeed she was lipsinging but she's done her share of live singing and we know her vocals are the truth when it's on. So she's forgiven. I like the song. It was semi entertaining, She did okay.

RIHANNA showed why she should always lipsing. She stuck to standing still and moving her arms, simple sexy zig zag walking, lots of dancers running around and all the drapes to entertained. The girl lacks something they call performance soul. It's just empty. It's amazing what a haircut can do with Zero charisma, zero dance ability, zero presence, and an awful live voice. This was okay.
