♫ KAT DELUNA: CALLING YOU [NEW SINGLE].....

Kat Deluna's alleged new single 'Calling You' presented itself today via her official Myspace page. It is believed to be the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore album.....



The europop/dance craze seems to be taking over once more and Kat's new song is very catchy, infectious and has that fire. I'm totally feeling it. The chick has a 5-octave range for those that hasn't followed Kat's admission into the music industry two years ago. I wonder why she doesn't show it off much. I would love to hear what she sounds like on a slow cut. Her debut album '9 Lives', was hot but did not have any ballads. That said, I've always liked Kat's music and look forwards to hearing more new music from her in the future.

R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT // CASSIE CONFIRMS HER SPLIT WITH DIDDY?....

Earlier today, Alicia Keys (and Jennifer Hudson) attended and hosted 'Keep A Child Alive: The Black Ball UK' earlier today in London:



The ceremony was held at St. John’s Church at Smith Square. Alicia looked nice but Jen on the other hand looked like .... Jennifer Hudson. The Keep A Child Alive organization is a contribution towards saving lives with the help from the world to donate what they can for AIDS medication, support services, and orphan care.

Cassie attended DJ Cassidy's 27th birthday bash at Cipriani 23rd Street last night, where she ALLEGEDLY confirmed she and Diddy WERE in fact steaming those bedroom sheets behind closed doors:



This may come as no surprise to MANY of us. Since Cassie hit the scene 2 years ago, it's been rumoured from then that the two were having sexual liaisons. The rumours started when Diddy would CONSTANTLY defend Cass at every opportunity especially when she received Internet criticism about her lack of singing/performing talent. But many eyebrows were raised when he tried to justify her embarrassing 106 performance of hit single 'Me & U'. The speculation was confirmed without doubt when these pictures surfaced where they were looking rather cosy on mother's day earlier this year. Now Cassie reportedly told Usmagazine.com that she's split from Diddy, yet the two were seen "slipping out" together after the party had ended. Hmmmm.... On the music front, Cassie has shot the video for her single 'Official Girl', which should premiere really soon and this will be followed by her sophomore album expected to be released in September/October.

Teairra Mari may have no buzz surrounding her new project but this chick still manages to stay relevant by hitting up every party in town. Yesterday, she was seen at Hale Bob's Summer Of Love Party at the Falcon in Hollywood, California:



So, let's put the glam aside. We know you fly Teairra but where's the music? I for one am dying to hear a new Teairra Mari album. I just wish it wouldn't take forever. Chick can totally sing her lil ass off.

Alicia Keys is currently in the UK and she performed a gig in Manchester, to support her latest album As I Am:




She loves those pants. They outline her thickalicious thighs to a tee. But she seems a lil disproportionate, because she doesn't have the T&A to go with it. She still my girl though.

More attendees at DJ Cassidy's 27th birthday bash at Cipriani 23rd Street included Kat Deluna:




.... as well as Maxwell (another one well overdue for a new album), Nina Sky (them too) and Ryan Leslie (him three).

This is quite interesting, because ex-wife and husband Mashonda and Swizz Beatz hit up that very same party as well:




I know things must have been awkward since I'm reading rumours that their divorce was quite messy behind the scenes. For the sake of their son, I hope they can remain friends and work it out.

Jennifer Lopez squeezed her lumpy thighs into a designer bikini this week in Portofino, Italy:




I'd still hit it though.

And July 5th (last week) saw young lovers Rihanna and Chris Brown cosying it up at the Velvert Room nightclub in Atlanta:




Nice.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT....

Singers Esmee Denters (left) and Chris Brown (right) posed it up with designer Kira Plastinina at her clothing line launch party in Los Angeles last night:



Esme Denters is a Dutch 19-year-old singer who is signed to Justin Timberlake's label Tennman Records. She is a YouTube phenomena who received worldwide recognition after singing many hit songs on the popular video site, from today's biggest chart toppers; Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield and of course JT himself. Esme's debut album is expected to be released later on in the year. On the forthcoming project, she has worked with Timbaland, Royal Court and The Clutch as well as Jim Beanz. Look out for 2 tracks 'Closer' and 'Lonely Sunday' off her album both produced and co-written by Beanz. Other R&B singers who attended the event included Jojo, Raven-Symoné and Amerie. You can check them all out after the jump.

Chris Breezy also performed at the launch:




He performed a couple of tracks from his latest album Exclusive: The Forever Edition, which he's been promoting all this week.

Amerie was there too:



She looked pretty but the outfit was looking kinda frumpish.

Jojo who is currently working on a new album called 'All I Want is Everything' also hit up the scene as well:



On the forthcoming project, she's writing all of her own songs: "You know I'm not 13 anymore. I'm not comfortable doing that type of material so I'm really just taking the bull by the horns and taking charge." Can't wait to hear the outcome. She's working with some of the hottest producers in R&B as well.

Raven Symone came out to play as well:



Although I'd have preferred a lil more colour to her outfit she looked cute. It looks like she's losing weight as well. As nice as her new album was, Raven Symone is on the verge of getting dropped after only selling about 7,500 copies since its release on April 29th. The album got zero promotion. Shame.

Kat DeLuna performed live at the Borgata Casino and Spa during the 2nd Annual True Colors Tour on June 13th in Atlantic City, New Jersey:



I am ready to hear a brand new album. Forget about a re-release. She could be as huge as Rihanna if she was promoted correctly.

Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony were spotted leaving a private function in New York City on June 13th:



Not feeling her get-up at all but to say she's had twins recently, she is still killing a lot of chicks right now.

Fantasia Barrino was spotted with her daughter Zion, shopping at Kitson Kids on Thursday in Beverly Hills, California:



Zion is a cutie. Fortunately, she doesn't look like Fantasia. As for Fanny, she's in the studio recording her third album and Jim Beanz has been added to the list of producers.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT (PART TWO)....

Michelle Williams attended Fuse's New Ad Campaign Party at XCHANGE, NYC yesterday. The singer was sporting some sandy brown highlights to her cropped tresses:



I'm not a fan of her personal style but I guess this is one of her better days. Michelle was also seen posing it up with season 7 American Idol alum Jared Cotter who is also The Fuse's host.

Over the weekend, Kat DeLuna attended the National Puerto Rican Day Parade festivities in NYC:



Kat sure did enjoy paying homage to her background. Surprisingly, J.Lo didn't attend. She usually doesn't miss these but then again, now that she's a mother of two, things are bound to change.

Ne-yo also hit up that very same event (the afterparty in NYC) with a mystery date (according to certain sites, it's his girlfriend):




.... or it could be that she's a GIRL who appears to be his FRIEND and not 'girlfriend' as in relationship terms. Ne-yo has more fruit in his blood than a mixed Tropicana drink.

Usher arrived in Narita Int'l Airport Japan last night:



The singer arrived to do further promotion for his new album 'Here I Stand'. You know his wife wasn't too far behind, especially with Usher's latest revelations: "I'm good at making love, but I'm not good at being in love. It's a conscious decision every day to love the person you're with". Hmmmm, I'll keep my thoughts on that to myself, lol.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT ....

Mya put her broadway skills into practice over the weekend when her cast of Chicago performed 'All That Jazz' at the 'North Shore Animal League's 2008 Tour For Life Grand Finale' Adoption event. The dancing cast strutted their stuff at the FAO Schwarz toy store in New York City:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Mya was looking like the ever so perfect sexy Velma Kelly that night. I have no doubt she'll do the role justice. The ambitious 28-year-old has been locked in rehearsals for her all important debut which will go down on May 12th through July 13th.

Samantha Mumba was spotted over the weekend on West Hollywood's Melrose Avenue with a friend:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
WENN

Samantha is my chick but without all the the weave and make-up and whatever else that defines today's beauty, she was looking a lil rough around the edges and less glam than usual. Still got mad love for her though. And I would love to hear new music from her .... if we ever get it.

Last week (April 19th), Kelly Rowland performed a concert at the Tennis Stadium in Dubai as part of a Radio 1 event:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Kelly Rowland World.

I have to say Ms Kelly did look hot and was working it out. She's been performing her butt off lately.

Joss Stone performed at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA yesterday:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Wireimages

Herve Leger dresses aren't for everybody. In fact, there should be an immediate blacklisting on that dress, sort of like the writers strike thing (I'm glad it's over and that Supernatural, Smallville and Lost are back on our screens, followed by Prison Break and Kyle XY which are coming back shortly. There are also promo's going out for 24 as well, can't wait!). Anyway, that damn dress. I am tired of it already. At first it was cute when Rihanna rocked it two years ago but then, everybody and they mama is hopping on. It gets tired. Seriously. I saw Kim Kardy's mom rock one the other day and all I could do was *smh*

Yesterday, Mario attended the Hollywood Life magazine's 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards at Avalon in Hollywood, California:


Wireimages.

He's been wowing audiences on Dancing With The Stars and is a strong contender to win the competition. I wonder what he has up his sleeve tonight then.

So yesterday, Kelis was seen out at GAP Present GQ Lounge at the Viceroy Hotel in Palms Springs, CA during the Coachella Music and Arts Festival weekend:



When the chick isn't causing controversy supporting hubby Nasir's 'Nigger' charade, she likes to play yoyo with the hair dye. Peep the new style. One side is black and the other side is like, a burgundy type colour. Only Kelis ya'll.....

Faith Evans was spotted departing LAX with her kids Christopher, 11 (named after his father Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace) and 1-year-old son Ryder Evan (Ryder? Eh?) this past weekend:



Wow, that's definitely Biggie's son alright, lol. On a positive note, at least he's cute, being that he's Biggie's son and all.... And she could have at least combed that lil boys hair. Geeez. The singer is reportedly releasing a book based on her memoirs. That should be pretty interesting. I'm sure she has a lot of juicy things to write about such as whether she truly slept with her late husband's arch rival, the late Tupac Shakur. Well, she denies it (but doesn't mean it aint true).

So En Vogue really are serious about their comeback. I give it another week before Dawn bails out again and they split. The group (Cindy, Maxine, Dawn and Terri), reunited on Saturday night to perform at the 4th Annual Plymouth Jazz Festival Tobago:




Yikes! They're not aging very well at all. Then again not everyone can be in their 40's like Stacy Dash and Halle Berry and put chicks half their age to shame. But they looked ..... like smoked H.A.M roasted on a spit. Please don't tell me Dawn took off her hair piece afterwards. What the hell?

SIDENOTE: WHITNEY HOUSTON PERFORMED AT THAT SAME EVENT AND TOTALLY BOMBED. READ MORE.

Yesterday, Kat DeLuna performed at MTV Tr3s concert during the 19th Annual Fiesta Broadway in Los Angeles:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Wireimages.

Quite liking the new hair colour on her. But she still looked a hot mess as usual. It's become common practice now I guess. So now the only thing I can say these days is, 'I like her hair,' 'I like her shoes' and 'her music is cool'.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT....

Yesterday, Alicia Keys appeared on BET’s 106 & Park where she cohosted the entire show with Rosci and Terrence. On the show, she premiered her brand new video Teenage Love Affair.




I was definitely feeling Alicia's whole get-up. Cute. The singer has been forced to cancel several shows due to vocal problems. She is currently being treated by a physician, and is expected to return to the stage on Saturday, April 26th at the Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

Yesterday, Mya attended the INSPI(RED) Mothers’ Brunchat NY’s The Spottd Pig:



Cute.

Keri Hilson attended the star-studded Investment Club’s Bosses Night Out at Luckie Food Lounge last night:



She looked fab as she kicked it with rapper Young Jeezy. I wonder why Usher didn't choose her for the Love In This Club remix?

As well as those two, singer Fergie and producer Polow Da Don were also at that very same party:



Fergie has been everywhere lately.

The singer also put in an appearance on MTV's TRL where she put her presenting skills into touch with her co-hosting:



She looked good, surprisingly. Straight after the show, she made her way to Syracuse University's Carrier Dome to perform at Block Party 2008 along with reggae maestro Sean Kingston.

Ashanti was spotted yet again departing her Manhattan hotel yesterday:



.... that's when she's not damaging eardrums that is. Still, she was looking extra thickalicious that day.

Mariah was spotted again yesterday:



She's getting skinnier. And she's ruled out having kids. Mariah is way too self-conscious to get her hands dirty raising a bunch of kids, why does that not surprise me.

Kat DeLuna performed at Beauty Benefits in at New York City's Bloomingdales:



Try try again.

Mary J. Blige was spotted with Lisa Price (Carol's Daughter creator) and Jada Pinkett-Smith at the Carol's Daughter store in the Westfield Fox Hills Mall in Culver City, California earlier this week:



They attended the store for a special meet and greet with customers.

Robin Thicke and his wife Paula Patton attended the BAPESTORE opening in Hollywood yesterday:



I thought this chick was pregnant. Anyway, his new album, which is titled Something Else, will drop this summer.

And Omarion was also at the event. It's his first showing since it was announced that he was dropped by Columbia:



So until further notice, his icebox will remain frozen.

The cute ans sassy Christina Milian was spotted at Los Angeles International airport last week:


[CHRISTINASWORLD]


Anyway, she's keeping her fans up to date on the music front and has been recording her new album in the studio this month.

Here's a couple of pictures from Leona's American Idol performance of Bleeding Love last night:



I think she did a good job but she didn't nail it. She's had better performances. She also struggled with the big notes towards the end. She did look nice though.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT [PART TWO]....

Last night, Keri Hilson hosted the 3rd Anniversary party for Rap Up Magazine at the NYC soho Adidas store. The event was attended by Tiffany Evans (not pictured), Teyana Taylor and Nina Sky:



Teyana performed an electric set but looked crazy as hell already. I think I'm liking this chick's wacky charisma.

WHITNEY HOUSTON & RAY-J attended Atlanta's HOT 107.9's Hip-Hop Fashion show last night - TOGETHER:


[SPOTTED @ SOHH VIA ATLPICS.NET]

I thought these two were well and truly over. Guess not. I'm really surprised that Whitney is back with Ray-J especially since he tried to put her business on front street regarding their sex life. That's the dog he truly is. His dick must be made out of a thousand voltages of dynamite.

Yesterday, Tatyana Ali attended the premiere of New Line Cinema's 'Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay':



She looks fantastic. This is the best she's looked in ages. She's 29 and still looks like lil Ashley from Fresh Prince. I just want her to come out with that new album she's currently working on.

Check out more pictures of Kat Deluna backstage at the 50th GRAMMY Celebration Concert Tour presented by T-Mobile:



Looks aside, you either love her or hate her. My side of the coin is pointing towards the latter.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT....

Yesterday, Mariah Carey arrived for a memorabilia donation and an autograph session at the Hard Rock Cafe in California:



The singer signed copies of her new CD
E=MC² at Universal Studio's. This chick has been on her grind lately. But she looked silly. Her stylist should be put to bath in hot oil.

Yesterday, Cassie arrived at the Evenings in Vogue Party at 1 Oak, NYC on April 17, 2008. In fact, she actually hosted the event and looked hawt!:



Cassie should be thanking her lucky stars that she's beautiful because if she didn't look the way she did, she'd have been a goner a looooong time ago. And well, Diddy wouldn't be pawning her off on us to the extent that he has. That said, she looked absolutely fab from head to toe. That jacket is fiiieeercee!

More flicks:




Ryan Leslie and Diddy were also at the scene.

This week, Dsquared honored Ryan Leslie's debut album. He's talented so it's only right that he gets honoured:




I look forwards to his new CD which drops June 3rd.

Here are a couple of pictures from last weekend when he performed his latest single Diamond Girl at Avenue Report Magazine one year anniversary bash in Washington, DC:




The event was hosted by BET's Alesha Renee' and Grammy Award Winning Songwriter/Producer Bryan-Michael Cox.

Yesterday, Latina singer/actresses Christina Milian and Adrienne Bailon attended the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Hottest Style Makers Party held at Besco Restaurant on April 17, 2008 in Hollywood, California:




They both looked hot. I heard that Adrienne married her fella Robert Kardashian. Don't know how true that is. I don't know who told him highlighting his hairline was cute. Sooo out of touch. I see he's wanting to share some spotlight from his whoring/attention seeking sister.

Aubrey from Danity Kane was there too:



I'm convinced she does her make-up herself, probably the night before when she was on her knees and forgot to wash the icing from her eyes.

Latina singer Kat DeLuna attended and performed at the 50th GRAMMY Celebration Tour which was presented by T-Mobile Sidekick at The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater on April 16, 2008 in Miami Beach, Florida:




She posed it up with Latino rapper Pitbull. I always wondered what he looked like. I saw his name on the latest Lumidee album (another Latina singer, if you can call her that) but was never familiar with him as a rapper. Anyway, I think they'd make a cute couple in fact. I am liking her brand new hair colour. It looks waaay better than that dirty strawberry blonde she usually likes to wear. The event is part of an exclusive five-city concert tour (Chicago, New York, Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles) comprised of established and up-and-coming musicians within the genres of pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, Latin and country.

Must be Latina week. On April 14th, Jennifer Lopez was spotted with her hubby Marc Anthony after a dinner at Waverly in New York:



I see she's steadily getting her old figure back. She looks amazing, but on most occasions that's to be expected.

Yesterday, Keyshia Cole performed live at the BET Upfronts April 17, 2008, Hamerstein Ballroom in New York:



I have to add that Keyshia has come aloooong way and was looking great. For those interested her DVD for her reality show, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season 2 will drop in stores on April 29th. For more details, click here. It has also been announced that the second season of Keyshia Cole stands as BET's highest-rated original series in network history, with the series posting 44% gains in ratings since its first season. Good for her.

R&B crooner Brian McKnight was there as well:



The Grammy nominee and Broadway star will be taking his silky smooth tenor croonings to casino's Spotlight Showroom on May 17th where he'll play a concert in support of his latest album 'Ten'. I haven't even listened to this CD yet. The last album of his I listened to was Back At One which was hot. So, is this latest CD any good?

On April 15th, Usher was spotted with wife Tameka having a romantic lunch at Crustacean in Beverly Hills:



Last night, the singer was spotted out with close-knit pal Jay-Z at Hollywood's Katsuya restaurant - without their wives. They've been hanging out quite a lot lately. Usher attended Jay-Z's Atlanta concert last week, and the rapper has also laid some verses for Usher's forthcoming album Here I Stand.



Jay-Z kept his lips firmly sealed when paps questioned him about his marriage to Beyonce. You can check out the video of the pair at Katsuya by clicking here. So are they going to carry on like this when they pop out their first baby? Absolutely madness.

Nicole Scherzinger was spotted returning from a night out in LA at Villa nightclub this week:



She looked pretty dazzling in a pink-trim bra under a very see-through top. At Villa, she was spotted canoodling with John Mayer. They were seen talking and flirting all night, leaving within minutes of each other. So could this be the start of a beautiful relationship? John swings both ways so um, this could hit a bum note with both singers. So aaahhh, maybe not but we'll have to see how this pans out. In other news, Nicole has a brazilian inspired commercial for 'Caress' and for the commercial she did a remix of 'Rio' by Duran Duran. You can listen to it by clicking here.

Mary J. Blige hit up The Ritual nightclub this week:



If someone dared me, I would seriously risk getting my ass beat to a pulp pulling off that wig from Mary's head and stopping on it with my Christian Louboutin stiletto's telling her what a damned ghetto ass fool she looks. Then again, I'd kick off the stiletto's and make a run for it. Not like I haven't done something scandalous to that nature before. When I was a teen, we'd knock random doors at night, throw eggs through people's letter boxes and run away. However, we fucked with the wrong man one night who proceeded in chasing us around the block IN TWO ROUNDS. He was charged up on Red bull and Spinach and whatever else. We sooooo weren't prepared for that. We were shitting ourselves. But when I think about it now, I have to smile. In Mary's case, it would be a case of Pull-Wig-Run instead of Knock-Door-Run.

Fergie was spotted shopping at Calvin Klein Collection on April 16, 2008 in New York City:



I like her glasses. In other Fergie news, the singer will re-release her multi-platinum selling album, 'The Dutchess' on May 27th. It will include 5 new tracks. The re-release shares the same release date as the motion picture soundtrack 'Sex & the City' and on that she has a featured song called 'Labels and Love'.

On April 15th, Mario hung out with Evan Ross at the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings basketball game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles:



I wonder what the joke was all about.

CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT....

So here's the post I was meaning to write up last night but didn't get the chance to, so I guess it's a matter of playing catch up. Mariah Carey arrived at her London hotel around 2:30am only to be greeted by a swarm of 30 photographers and fans:



Leave it to Ms Mariah to look absolutely fab at 2:30 in the morning. Her best friend Da Brat was right by her side as usual (not pictured). The singer is currently on UK shores to promote new single Touch My Body and new album, E=MC², which will hit stores on April 15th. Fourteen days to go folks. And a week before we get to hear it. I can't stop saying that. It just sounds really exciting. I just cannot get those lil HQ snippets out of my system.

Our newest music couple Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted once again as they shopped away at The Grove in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon:



They spent t
