Jennifer Lopez performed - with utmost energy, I might add- a medley of her hits ("Jenny From The Block", "Ain't It Funny" remix, "Love Don't Cost A Thing" and "Get Right") at the 2008 MUZ Music Awards. Needless to say, Jennifer reminded the audience of not only her infamous sassy moniker (re: J.Lo) but her pre-baby and marriage lifestyle.


Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and husband Michael with their twin boys Jaid and Jax attended the Time for Heroes celebrity carnival. (Thanks Black Celeb Kids for the photos.) Garcelle recently flaunted her post-baby shape for "People" magazine, which you can check out in this earlier post.



Mary J Blige looked every bit as a runway model in a green silk Versace dress at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Party in London. MJB was accompanied by her husband Kendu Isaacs (of course) and good friend, Bono.



In the latest leaked snippet taken from his tell-all autobiography novel, Bobby Brown commented briefly on Usher emulating his stage presence. While promoting his "Confessions" record, Usher said he and Bobby had a misunderstanding. Bobby has since called Usher a "Mini-Me."

“I watched one of Usher’s shows and he basically did my whole show. It was as if it was me on stage. The thing about it is, I love seeing that. It’s a compliment to me as a performer . . . I think you take parts of whoever is the hottest act of that era and you incorporate that into your own style. It’s just like taking buttermilk, eggs and corn meal, you whip it up bake it and you have cornbread.”

Mario has a new single out called, "If I Hurt You". The song follows in the same vain as his previous jam, "How Do I Breathe"...




Lil' Wayne spilled the surprise opening act for the 2008 BET Awards. Weezy confirmed in a recent interview with XM Radio that he'll join the stage with Beyonce and Usher for the performace of "Love In This Club Pt.2". Since there hasn't been any confirmation about a music video for the single, a live performance should do. Any performance Beyonce does for the urban music award ceremony always makes for a ratings gold chain...

Because of Weezy's announcement, Beyonce made history becoming the first artist to perform a record breaking six times for the awards ceremony.

In related news, Snoop Dogg wants Beyonce to start making babies with her husband, Jay-Z. "I told them to go home and make babies," he told reporters at the Dodge Celebrity Event in Rosamond, Calif. "They should, that's the next step as far as marriage, having kids ... add on to the family, so hopefully that's what they'll do."
