Beyonce Knowles-Carter in Donna Karan performed "Ave Maria" for the NBC TV special, "Christmas in Rockfeller Center." The holiday show highlighted the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony in New York City. The song can also be heard on her current album, "I Am...Sasha Fierce." Next up for Beyonce is the 2009 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.



Mariah Carey also got into the holiday spirit over at CBS where she performed "Christimas (Baby Please Come Home)" for the live Grammy Nominaton Concert. I like that mod-inspired outfit Mariah and her back-up dancers had on. Very Supremes-ish!



Also at the first ever televised Grammy nomination ceremony was Christina Aguilera who paid tribute to Nina Simone via a soulful rendition of "I Loves You Porgy" which is taken from George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess." The performance was viewed last night on CBS.



Take a quick look at the new Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 AD campaign featuring Madonna as reported by WWD. The brand's creative director Marc Jacobs felt Madonna was the perfect fit for the rumored $10 million gig. "I think we should do Madonna. I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy." I think the AD campaign has a very retro look to it...and she already worn those shoes to this Gucci event.
