Only for Tonight...
Alright folks happy Saturday! Hope you all are enjoying the fairly nice weather. Lately I've been on a wearing red 24/7 habit. I got my eyes on a pair of cute flats that I saw over at Hip Candy!
back to some business...
Out and About
Gisele Bundchen of 'Victoria's Secret' fame marched down the runway during Rio Fashion Week for designer line, Colcci. Show 'em what you got, Gisele!
She was later spotted out and about in her native country, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
In related news, Gisele blames families not the fashion industry for anorexia models and young females in this growing hot debate in her native country of Brazil.
"I never suffered this problem because I had a very strong family base," the supermodel told the local Globo newspaper on Friday. "The parents are responsible, not fashion."
"Everybody knows the standard for models is to be thin," Bundchen said. "But you can't generalize and say that all models are anorexic."
"You leave home, the protection of your parents, but you still know you have their support," said the Brazilian, who has five sisters. {Source}
Sundance Film Festival fever has kicked off at Park City.
Nick Cannon held a Boost mobile-sponsered welcome dinner. I see he's trying to bring back the chunky necklace of the '80s.
Diddy and Dame Dash were in town for thefreebies fun.
Diddy at MySpace Nights at Tao. Nick Cannon and Ian Ziering (OMG I still catch the re-runs of '90210') were there too.
"Weapons" Premiere Party hosted by Damon Dash
And yet again Nick Cannon. Nick is the man in town, I suppose.
Shane West, Tawny Cypress, Malik Yoba, and Mekhi Phifer, Parminder Nagra and Shane West at the NBC's Winter 2007 TCA Press Tour All-Star Party.
Parminder Nagra of 'Bend It Like Beckham' fame with her 'ER' co-star Shane West. Mekhi Phifer with his date.
A very pregnant Nicole Sullivan of 'MAD TV' fame and Malik Yoba of 'NY Undercover' fame. (Malik also appeared on several episodes of 'Girlfriends' as Joan's man.)
Meredith Vieira of 'The Today Show.'
"Catch and Release" held a press conference with Jennifer Garner and Timothy Olyphant.
Doesn't Timothy look just like Fergie's boyfriend Josh Duhamel? Maybe it's just me then, lol! Anyhow I've been a fan of Jennifer Gardner ever since 'Alias.' She has that box office charm. Go see '13 Going on 30' for proof.
Alright at Jennifer showing off her wedding band--cute!

Let the Oscar buzz for this man begin!
Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Fergie all arrived at the NRJ Music Awards 2007 in Cannes, France.
Word is Fergie's engaged to her long time boyfriend Josh Duhamel.
She was later spotted out and about in her native country, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Loves Gwen's outfit.
I see Xtina kick up her red lipstick habit!
Sean Paul was the man of the moment.
Lionel Richie, Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani were there for rehearsals the day before.
Okay I'm loving Nelly's jacket!
Cassie at the NRJ Music Awards. (I see her vacation has paid off for her. Check out her deep tan and hair color. Maybe she should go back to modelling. Her going a tad bit blonde good or bad look for her? I think change is always good.)
leaving the show...
Gwen Stefani with her son Kingston James, Cassie waving to her fans.
Cassie (Nice tan, Cassie. In related news, one of Cassie's popular fan sites, Cassieweb.com, has closed down. I loved that site and I always refer to it from time to time on my blog. Hope their decision was for the best.)
Keith Urban and Beyonce Knowles perform on "Wetten Dass"
Judging from these pictures Beyonce looks like she belt out 'Dangerously in Love.'
Now I applaud Nicole Kidman for sticking to her man who's battling to get off his strong addiction to the good stuff if you catch my drift.

Juicy tidbits
Mathew Knowles is at it again. I'm quite sure most of you have heard about this. Mathew Knowles is supposedly telling folks that HE is Jennifer's manager. Okay first he slams the idea of Jennifer winning a Golden Globe and now this!?!? Beyonce come school your father, girl! He's making you look real bad!
'BEYONCE KNOWLES' father has slammed reports he claimed to be managing his daughter's DREAMGIRLS co-star JENNIFER HUDSON.
Media reports have suggested a rift between the two female co-stars, which may have started with Beyonce's father, MATHEW KNOWLES.
According to E! Online, Knowles tried unsuccessfully to sign the former AMERICAN IDOL contestant as a client to his Houston, Texas-based Music World Entertainment management.
A source says, "He tried to sign her halfway through the production of Dreamgirls, because he wanted to be her manager, but Jennifer turned him down. That's when things really went south.
"He walks around saying he's her manager, and everyone is like, 'No, you're not.'"
A representative for Knowles insists Mathew never claimed to be Hudson's manager, although he did try to sign the rising superstar to his music label.
In the end, Hudson eventually signed with music legend CLIVE DAVIS.' {Source}
Oprah Winfrey has done it again. She has become the first and only African American billionaire female in U.S.A. according to Forbes magazine. Others African American females that made the list were Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. These three are the richest African American females in the entire country. Congrats to Oprah, Mariah and Janet. I know I supported all three females in some type of way---either purchasing their CDs or buying their magazines. Wow---that's a very good look for young females to look up to. Platform Launch Action applauds Oprah, Janet and Mariah on being successful in their careers.
'US television talk show host Oprah Winfrey is the richest woman in entertainment, ahead of "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, according to the lastest list.
Winfrey, with an estimated worth of 1.5 billion dollars, easily tops the Forbes.com list, ahead of boy wizard creator Rowling, with one billion dollars, and businesswoman and home entertaining expert Stewart, with more than 600 million dollars.
Pop divas Madonna, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson take the next four places, with fortunes ranging from 325 million to 150 million dollars, while actress Julia Roberts is the top-placed Hollywood celebrity, with 140 million.
Fellow actress and singer Jennifer Lopez and "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston rank ninth and 10th, each with 110 million dollars.
Former child sitcom stars Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen share some 100 million dollars, putting them on an equal footing with pop princess Britney Spears.
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen is the highest-rated fashion figure, with a personal wealth of 70 million.
The list excludes non-working celebrities who live off royalties, such as Barbra Streisand, and those whom Forbes.com describes as "old Hollywood" types, such as Elizabeth Taylor, confining the list to those active in entertainment.' {Source}
Usher on what Gerald Levert taught him:
"Gerald Levert taught me that you don't necessarily have to have a six-pack to get the ladies... He was always superfly." Usher pays tribute to late soul star Levert. {source}

LOVES IT!
Nelly Furtado's photoshoot outtakes from 'Interview' magazine. [pic credit: Nelly-Furtado.net]
These are some of my favorite shots of her. In related news Nelly has a remix to 'Promiscous' featuring Fatman Scoop. 'The remix contains a new - Double_U - beat and one new verse by Timbaland taken from "Drop" feat. Fatman Scoop.' {http://nelly-furtado.net/}
Nelly Furtado is going to appear on TV's 'CSI: NY" on February 7th. She plays a Ava Grant, a shoplifther accused of murder. Great to hear Nelly's getting into acting!
Insider Look
A new trend in Hollywood that I noticed lately is the younger men dating the older women.
Here's a rundown of some famous hookups that emphasis this new trend.
Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster-Glover
These two have kept their relationship under wraps for years out of respect for Tameka's marriage. Reportedly Tameka's officially divorced making her available for Usher to take out in public without the shame. Usher's a hot R&B singer who always dresses the part. Tameka is his long-time personal stylist. Word is Usher's mother/manager Jonetta Patton wasn't feeling the closness between Tameka and her son so she fired Tameka only for Tameka come back on. (Usher's younger than Tameka. Usher's 28 and Tameka's 40-something.)
Clifford 'T.I' Harris and Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle
Tameka's T.I's ride or die chick. These two have been together for awhile now.Now they have a baby on the way and a wedding in progress to celebrate. Tameka's an former member of R&B female quartet, Xscape. T.I's one of (if not the) hottest rapper of the South. (T.I's younger than Tiny. Tiny's 31, T.I's 26.)
Mario Barrett and Nicole Ricca
These two first made their relationship public at the red carpet premiere of Mario's movie, "Freedom Writers." Nicole's a video vixen and Mario makes music for the ladies. Time will tell if this relationship will last. (Mario's younger than Nicole. Mario's 20; Nicole's 25)
Whitney Houston and William Ray 'Ray J' Norwood Jr.
The secret was put out when this pair was spotted leaving an restaurant with shame ont their faces. These two have yet to confirm nor deny their relationship. Whitney's a Grammy/Emmy-winning pop star. Ray J's R&B singer who has an older sister singer-actress Brandy. (Ray J's younger than Whitney. Whitney's 43, Ray J's 25.)

Throwback video
'For the Night' by Musiq
This song has been in my head when I woke up this morning so I decided to make it today's throwback. I'm glad Musiq came back with a hot new song, "Buddy."
Throwback picture
The touch that rocked the world. Diana Ross and Lil' Kim at the VMA's. I'm glad Mary J Blige step aside from this madness. STOP THE DAMN MADNESS! Anyhow this is a great moment in the crazy world of pop culture.

I know that's why I could be Oprah, Janet and Mariah's personal shopper or a paid friend for the day, j/k! I know they work hard to get where they are today. They didn't have it easy like Paris Hilton who's born rich.
Yeah I saw that trend really getting up there this past year so I did a look at it.

The younger guy dating the older girl thing was fun to do.
