Kelly Rowland, Nelly Furtado, Joss Stone, and Nicole Scherzinger were the American celebrities at the 2007 Europe Music Awards which was held at Munich, Germany.

Deservingly so, Nelly Furtado picked up an EMA for Album of the Year on the behalf of her album, "Loose". The Grammy's and the VMA's somehow overlooked Furtado but the EMA embraced her. Thanks in part to producers Timbaland, Danja, and her songwriting, "Loose" had some of 2006 and 2007's best singles like "Say It Right", "Maneater", "Promiscuous" and "Do It".

Back in Paris, Rihanna and her gray Gucci scarf was spotted arriving at her hotel. Reportedly the singer will be participating in the Star Academy's reality TV show in France.

Rihanna did pick up an Urban Award at the EMA's but she sent in a video message instead. Her prior obligation in Paris prevented her from attending the award ceremony in Germany.

English actress Thandie Newton rock a black and white ensemble to the 16th Annual BAFTA Awards in Los Angeles.


Newton recently spoke out on how she grateful to use her celebrity to raise awareness on the Darfur crisis:

"I think that entertainment and show business is a fantastic way of reaching people. I think there needs to be much more of a sense of responsibility when we use the power of entertainment to affect people's lives. Really I feel very proud to be an actor and be a member of this community and to be making a small difference."
