In other Kelly news, it has been confirmed that she will be hitting the stage at T4 On The Beach here in the UK (Weston Super Mare) on July 20th. The event, which Ne-Yo will also be performing at, will air live on Channel 4.
What do you think of the pics?
Amy, Amy Amy…
There’s more though; the troubled star also took a moment to call out rapper Kanye West – randomly labelling him a ‘cunt’ to the 90, 000 strong crowd during her performance of ‘Some Unholy War’. Check out the audio via World Star Hip-Hop below:
Kanye released a response via his official blog today, simply remarking “Amy Winehouse hates me!!! Now I’ve really made it!!! LOL!!!!”
For Amy I really have no words…

Though I’m no fan of Rihanna (I’m not a supporter of mediocrity), I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t an impressive performance. For the first time in…well…ever, Rihanna gave a an energized performance and turned in a pretty decent vocal showing too. Good stuff.
What do you think of the performance?
It appears the folk over at Bad Boy finally decided to hook Day26 up with a much needed new single in the form of ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’, the video for which premiered recently. Luckily for the guys, the song is strong enough to carry this, otherwise, run-of-the-mill clip. The Dawn (from Danity Kane) cameo was a nice touch, though. With the track being one of the strongest cuts from their self titled debut, here’s hoping it fares better than first single ‘Got Me Going’ which peaked at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100.

That Grape Juice has just received confirmation that we will be interviewing R&B star Ne-Yo later this week the week of July 7th.With his single ‘Closer’ blowing up the charts, and a brand new album ‘Year of The Gentleman’ on the horizon’, the Grammy award winning singer/songwriter looks set to continue establishing himself as a music heavyweight.
Reports are stating that Mariah Carey’s month and a half marriage to Nick Canon is already in danger of collapse:Mariah Carey’s marriage won’t last more than six months, according to friends. The 38-year-old singer, who wed rapper Nick Cannon in April, is so demanding her new husband won’t be able to cope with her diva-like behavior.
One pal close to Mariah revealed 27-year-old Nick has become a source of ridicule for her friends and associates. The source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: “I give the marriage six months, tops. I can’t see it lasting.
Nick does whatever Mariah wants him to – he’s like her puppy. It seems like he spends more time in the stores with Mariah’s credit card than he does with Mariah herself. Mariah’s assistants and friends call him ‘Whipped Nick’ behind his back. They have little respect for him because he won’t stand up for himself.
However, a friend of Nick’s has vehemently denied the relationship is already in trouble, insisting Nick and Mariah are perfect for each other. The pal said: ‘Mariah needs someone to dote on her.’” {Source}
I must be the only person who still hasn’t swallowed the idea of the marriage to begin with; just so random. Anyway, I can’t say this wasn’t expected. I mean, come on now…
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I kinda felt a little short-changed with ‘B’ Day’, so I’m interested to see what Beyonce’s new record will be serving up; as with all her releases, a new Beyonce LP is an event in itself, so roll on November lol. More over though (at this point), after Tuesday’s night’s BET Awards, I’m amped for Ciara’s triple-disc ‘Fantasy Ride’; I really feel this will be her legit ‘evolution’ as opposed to to the ‘.5’ treatment her last album delivered.
So in view of that…
Whose album are you most looking forward to: Beyonce or Ciara?
In news that will both please fans and silence some critics, the NY Daily News is reporting that Janet Jackson’s Live Nation ‘Rock Witchu Tour’ is performing well at the ticket box office:Madonna’s ticket sales may have gotten off to a slow start, but Janet Jackson’s are doing fine, claims Live Nation, their concert-tour company.
Jackson is hitting the road to promote her latest CD, “Discipline”, which hasn’t fared well on the charts since its February release.
But hopes are still high for Jackson’s tour at Live Nation, where the chairman left last week after criticism that he was paying stars too much for the return. “She’s a tour record-breaker, having grossed more than $100 million in her career”.
So why is Jackson apparently selling well while only half of the seats at Madonna’s L.A. show have been sold? Her tickets are cheaper than Madonna’s, ranging from $46 to $126 at the Izod Center in New Jersey, for example, where Jackson performs Oct. 17. And unlike Madonna, who almost always favors her new material in shows, Jackson is willing to do the fan-favorite hits.
“We’re very happy with the ticket sales,” said a Live Nation spokesman. “She hasn’t complained about us. Thank God.”
It’s great to see Janet’s Live Nation ‘situation’ working out well at this early stage. There are murmurings that she may sign a similar ‘360’ deal similar to that of Jay-Z, Madonna etc with the company should the tour do well.

Check out this new promotional shot for the Pussycat Dolls sophomore effort ‘Doll Domination’ (due September 16th). They look great; though, it irks me slightly that the member on the far right (Lord knows I couldn’t tell you her name even if I tried) is being made to look more and more like former member Carmit Bachar (the red head).
Things are heating up in the divorce proceedings between Russell Simmons and soon to be ex-wife Kimora Lee:Each of the hip-hop mogul’s two girls with estranged wife Kimora Lee is set to receive $20,000 a month in child support. That’s a total of $480,000 each year for kids who already live in a palatial $24 million estate in Saddle River, N.J. Their mom, a former model, is CEO of the Baby Phat fashion house. The agreement shows that until 2019, Russell Simmons will continue payments for Ming Lee, now 8, and, until 2022, for Aoki, now 5.
Kimora Lee, 33, filed for divorce in March after nine years of marriage. She’s asking for primary custody of the girls and that Russell, 50, be granted “reasonable child visitation … accompanied at all times by the children’s nanny and security personnel.” {Source}
It appears Beyonce’s no-show at Tuesday night’s BET Awards turned viewers off:
The African-American targeted network’s annual awards show, which honors the best performances in music, sports and movies, drew 5.8 million viewers—the smallest viewing audience for the eight-year old franchise since 2004, according to Nielsen Media Research. Last year’s show, which featured performances by Beyonce, 50 Cent and TI, drew more than 6.3 million viewers. {Source}
