Lil' Mama must be doing something right because VIBE featured her in their "NEXT" section alongside Sterling Sims in their current newsstand issue. Like I said before, Eve and Gwen Stefani have started a new trend in pop music. Missy, Madonna, Shakira, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, Avril and Lil' Mama are cashing in on this irresistible female pop/hip-hop trend.

Would you and I witness a Coldplay and Jagged Edge song in the future? Would you see an all-girl anthem song with Janet, Alicia Keys, J.Lo, Mariah, Eve, and Beyonce in the future? Don't you think these songs will be the next big damn thing?!

Drew Barrymore is featured on the recent issue of "In Style." The actress's next motion picture project is a romantic comedy alongside Hugh Grant, "Music and Lyrics." Her movies are always interesting to watch aside from the box office lackluster sales of "Fever Pitch" and "50 First Dates"
In the September issue of InStyle, 31-year old Drew Barrymore dishes on life, love and her desire to start a family.

Drew on having kids: I definitely feel the beginnings of a tick tock. Whether I have children or adopt – whatever form a family comes in, I would absolutely love to have it."

Drew on her domestic skills: "I can't cook. Fab makes a few good things, but we mostly order in."

Drew on her body: "You learn to love your body. You can't look at models and feel bad about yourself. I'm not the kind of girl who can stuff her face with pasta all the time and not gain weight. "I've been running and doing yoga and Pilates, and I love the way it makes my mind and body feel. I really don't obsess about it."

Drew on getting older: "Am I going to walk home from work one day -- and realize I'm a homeowner? That I run a production company and have responsibilities and a long-term relationship? All of those things are so adult. I keep wondering when it's going to hit me. Maybe it never will. And that's okay."

Christina Aguilera with her signature ruby red lipstick is on the current issue of "Allure" in support of her fall album release, "Back To Basics."

In the upcoming issue of Allure, hitting newsstands August 22, Christina Aguilera reveals: "One of my main goals is to try and help women to love each other. I think it's really sad women seem to feel the need to be so competitive and jealous and threatened."

And upon the mention of pop rival Mariah Carey's name, Xtina says: "She hasn't been nice to me, no, but, honestly, I don't want to give her any more attention by even talking about it. Like I said, sometimes honesty is my downfall."
