Usher held a launch party for his new fragrances - USHER for Men and USHER for Women - on yesterday in New York. Stars like Beyonce, Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, and Ludacris were on hand to help him celebrate.
While at the party, he announced that wife Tameka Foster is having a baby boy. Pregnant Foster was also on hand at the party posing on the red carpet, while Usher’s mother Jonetta joined him inside…
Alicia Keys was all smiles when she stopped by 106 & Park yesterday to premiere her new video for the song “No One”. We posted the video yesterday, but click here if you haven’t seen it yet.
Mary J. Blige is back with a snippet from her new album, tentatively titled Growing Pains. The song, “Just Fine” finds Mary in a good place again, which I’m glad about. There’s no word on who the producer is, but I like the production of the song. I’m surprised that Mary didn’t hit us with another B. Cox joint, considering that he knocked out so many great songs for her on The Breakthrough.
There is a rumor going around that there will be a Mary J. Blige vs. Mariah Carey showdown, because both of their albums might be releasing on the same date. Didn’t we just get done with 50 and Kanye? We’ll see how this one goes when Mariah’s single leaks.
Guess what rapper/actor was spotted visiting a designer in West Hollywood today. He has an anticipated film on the way and leads the nominations for the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards…
Here’s another edition of Rock’d It Better for you guys. X-Factor winner Leona Lewis was spotted wearing this Dolce & Gabbana dress at the 2007 Mobo Awards last week in the U.K. Jennifer Hudson wore the same dress earlier this month at the 2007 Fashion Rocks! Concert. Who rock’d it better?
Desegregation ripped through the American South in 1957 when Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus ordered National Guard troops to prevent nine black teenagers (dubbed the “Little Rock Nine”) from entering Little Rock’s Central High School while President Dwight Eisenhower sent military troops to guard them from an angry mob of whites outside the school. Today, Little Rock Central High, though 60% black and 40% white, still struggles with educational equity.
Check out this clip of Kanye West leaving his radio interview with Wendy Williams last week. He admitted that he was a little tipsy, but you can tell he was feeling a little too good at that moment. Check the end of the video when he goes the wrong way. LMAO! Shout out to Straight Outta NYC for sending over the clip.
The Wendy Williams’ interview with Kanye West is airing this Friday on VH1 and check for our interview with him sometime next week.
