L.A. Reid held a post-Grammy party last evening. The Island Def Jam mogul celebrated with some of music’s biggest names at the event which was hosted by Jay-Z at  Cecconi’s restaurant in Los Angeles. Peep more pics below:

Popular model Rihanna made a guest appearance on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ recently. The young star performed to of her biggest hits, ‘Hard’ and ‘Please Don’t Stop The Music‘. Rihanna took home 2 Grammy Awards at last evenings ceremony for her part in Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Run This Town’.

While vocally offensive as usual, Rihanna delivered two rather enjoyable performances. She certainly had a lot of fun on Ellen’s stage and looked beautiful as ever. There is no denying that Rihanna is definitely a treat to look at; making it easy to understand why Covergirl has been immensely successful with her ad campaign. Congrats to Rihanna on her Grammy wins. Check out the second performance below:

Lady GaGa has just been added to the all-star lineup that has become the remake of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s classic ‘We Are The World’. The song is being revamped by Richie, Quincy Jones and RedOne to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary and benefit the nation of Haiti. Among the 100+ artists included on the track are Jennifer Hudson, Toni Braxton, Usher, Jason Mraz, Akon, Carlos Santana, Enrique Iglesias and Trey Songz. {Source}

It seems that the music world is pulling out all the stops! With this project as well as the Simon Cowell-orchestrated remake of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ in the UK, we can expect to hear some of the biggest voices in entertainment unite on the airwaves. I’m eager to hear what they come up with.

Sidebar: I’m happy to see Trey Songz stepping up to sing about something other than sex for once.

Thoughts?

R&B stars Kelly Rowland and Brandy glammed it up at the Universal Motown Rebublic  Group’s Grammy after-party last night at the W  Los Angeles hotel. I guess it pretty much confirms where Ms. Kelly has signed her new record deal.

With Brandy having departed from Epic Records last year, one has to wonder if she’s joining her pal at Universal Motown. In any case, peep more pics after the jump…

Superstar Beyonce struts to the stage to give a show-stopping performance at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, which took place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center just hours ago.

Check out more pics from the industry’s most prestigious ceremony below, which include snaps of Rihanna, Jay-Z, Michael Jackson‘s children – who accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award for their late father, Lady GaGa, Britney Spears, Maxwell, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, and Pink.

The video for Cheryl Cole‘s latest single ‘Parachute’ premiered a few moments ago. While the clip is rather artistic and well-done, I find it a little hard to get past the fact that such a limited talent is being afforded such grand treatment. I mean, the song is average at best and Ms. Cole’s vocal capabilities are minimal at best.

Still, folk seem to be lapping it up; the Girls Aloud singer’s debut solo LP ‘3 Words’ has been certified Platinum here in the UK, with a re-release already being prepped – which will feature production from hit-maker Ryan Tedder. SMH…

What do you think of the song / video?

Thoughts?

In a recent interview with Sweden’s Kingsize magazine, rapper Jay-Z opened up about married life with Beyonce, as well as if the couple are planning for any offspring any time soon. Peep the interesting quotes below:

You’ve just turned 40 years old, do you have any plans for starting a family soon? You and Beyonce talk about that?

Jay-Z: “I’d like to be a dad some day and I love children. You start your life with expectations and dreams, then life unfolds and it doesn’t always turn out the way you imagined. Life is what it is. And at this point it’s up to somebody else.

Do you consider your and Beyonce’s marriage as role model for a perfect marriage?

Jay-Z: “I don’t think there is such thing as a perfect relationship. It is unrealistic and hoping for too much. I don’t think it is worth all that pressure. We also have our struggles and problems.” {Source}

Hmmm…. at the kids answer LOL. No comment at the silly question at the end. Why do some interviews ask questions that they could answer themselves?! In any case…
