For this edition of ‘Who Rock’d It Better’ we have singers Ciara and Katy Perry wearing the same Louboutin ‘Circus’ cut-out thigh-high boots during recent outings.
Ciara wore hers at a Lady Gaga party in NYC back in September and Katy rock’d hers for MTV’s European Music Awards promo pics earlier this month. Take your pick.

Rapper Jay-Z and recording artist Alicia Keys performed in front of the sell-out crowd at Yankee Stadium with a rendition of the Big Apple anthem “Empire State of Mind” on Thursday night. I guess they got the whole place amped because the Yankees beat the Phillies in Game 2. Peep video of the performance below.
Singer/Dancer Omarion, recently sat down with The Boombox and gave his opinion about the dark-side of the music industry, which has become a hot topic because of the whole Tiffany Evans/Rihanna controversy from a couple weeks ago. Well check out Omarion’s take on it:
“I don’t personally know Rihanna’s beliefs but I think there’s a very dark and very sinister part of the entertainment business and I think it’s very visible,” he said. “This is something that a lot of people don’t look at [but for example] Michael Jackson used to be a Jehovah’s Witness and I remember hearing that he wanted to separate from the religion — and this was during the time that he was doing ‘Thriller’ [which ended up being] his biggest album.”“Fast forward to now,” Omarion continued, “[and] it really made me think that there is a [time as an artist] where there’s going to be a choice. The[entertainment] world [dictates] that you have to be with three or four women, or do this in order to get that [and] I think it’s really interesting. With God and the industry, it’s really dark. The dark side is having to get in, there’s a certain submission you need to have. Just like a gang [initiation], so to speak. You might have to do something against your moral code. I’m not saying that it’s always this way, but when you’re someone that is young and you’re coming up in the industry and you really don’t have a grip on your morals it can be very dark. The game is just about over saturation.
“I don’t know if Rihanna [has fallen victim to those pressures]. I’ve never really heard her speak about it,” he said. “I hope that she doesn’t believe in that stuff and I don’t think that she does, but I don’t know. It’s not just been a Rihanna thing, [there's has been religious speculation] about a lot of artists.”
In related news, Omarion has a new album coming out in 2010 and his video for “I Get It In” will be hitting the net soon.
Check out the new video for Ne-Yo’s “Never Knew I Needed”, the pop theme song from Disney’s upcoming animated feature, ‘The Princess and the Frog’. The video was directed by Melina.
