Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys worked their celebrity platform at the The Black Ball UK for the Keep A Child Alive charity organization. Jennnifer wore a long Escada gown with jeweled sandals while Alicia rock a black Armani gown with a plunging neck. Jennifer just released the heavily edited cover artwork for her debut self-titled album while Alicia was seen on her "Superwoman" music video set with Jada Pinkett Smith.



Teairra Mari attended the Hale Bob's Summer Of Love Party at the Falcon with two of her close friends. On the music tip, Teairra has a new single out called, "Find My Way Back" which you can check out over at THEYBF.COM. She's definitely making her opinions known, huh? Vivica A. Fox and Tichina Arnold were also seen at the Hale Bob event.



Jurnee Smollett in a shift mini-dress was spotted at 'An Evening with Dave Chappelle for Kevin Powell for Congress' at Eugene in New York City. Anyone catch her appearance on "Grey's Anatomy"??!




Just yesterday a new track from Nelly's upcoming album, "Brass Knuckles" leaked onto the urban music blogs. Today Nelly has a new song that created some buzz for his album. Nelly worked with his girlfriend Ashanti and Akon on his new single, "Body On Me." According to Necole Bitchie, the three artists wrapped up the Benny Boom-directed video treatment at Red Rock Casino Resort in Vegas. (The photos were snapped by Erik Kabik by the way.) The song appears on Nelly's album AND on Ashanti's current record, "The Declaration."


I do love that beige Dolce & Gabbana corset belt dress Ashanti wore at the video shoot. "Body on Me" is a catchy tune - perfect for the summer. I like how Nelly and Ashanti are working togehter on the music tip too...
