HOOPLA: SOLANGE'S T.O.N.Y, MC3 + CANDIDS
Solange belt out her new single, "T.O.N.Y" for Pepsi Smash's Cover Art on Yahoo Music. She did a great job with vocals and those zany dance moves. Midway through the younger Knowles sibling and her band The Hadley Street Dreams switches up the groove.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon went house hunting in Los Angeles this past Sunday. Love those Gucci boots Mrs. Cannon has on!

The Dream confirmed that he's working on Mariah's new album during his interview on 102.7 KIIS FM's HD2 New Music Show with DJ Skee. He called the album, MC 3 and said that they'll working on extending her greatest hits appeal. (Blinks eyes at the working title! It's time to get over the Emanicipation of Mimi and leave it as her one of her best music projects. Don't you agree??) The Dream also talked about writing songs in the music business.

Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance, and Gabrielle Union attended the 3rd Annual Sheldon Epps Theatrical Diversity Project Celebration. Love Gabrielle's brown gladiator shoes!

Kimora Lee (pregnant with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou's baby) was seen at the Liverpool launch of her fashion line, Baby Phat. Hmmm...I wonder if she's carrying a boy for this third time around. After all Kimora has two girls already. A boy would be a nice addition to the family. Nice wedding/engagement ring Kimora!

Meagan Good showed up in Lagos, Nigeria for the Anabel Mobile launch party in her favorite leopard print YSL tribute peep-toes and pink Herve Leger dress. As you can see, Meagan is the cost per wear type of girl. (Thanks Bella Naija!)

Elegantly dressed actresses Sanaa Lathan and Dania Ramirez attended the grand opening of SLS Hotel in Los Angeles. Also at the event were Taye Diggs and Tyrese. Wouldn't it be something if Sanaa and Tyrese did a movie together ...like she did "Brown Sugar" with Taye?

Beyonce and her fishnet stockings struck a fierce pose for the December/January 2009 cover edition of Giant magazine. Beyonce talked about how her husband Jay-Z's stage persona differs from her:

Jay is so cool. He can just stand on stage completely still, and the audience will go nuts,” says Beyonce Knowles. “Me? I have to work it! I’m shaking it and throwing it and rolling around on the floor.” [source]



Gabrielle Union worked it out in a black and gold Tadashi Shoji gown at the NY premiere of her new film, "Cadillac Records." Gabrielle also decided to go back to TV (remember her TV show, "Night Stalker"??!) She just signed up to developed a new series for NBC according to TV Guide.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon enjoyed their Mexican vacation right before the upcoming Holiday season. Mariah recently gave credit to Nick for calming her down. And I quote what Mariah said: "It's the only video in the history of me making videos that I ended on time, actually early both days, and there was no drama, and everybody was saying what is this new thing? So I guess this was definitely him. No more stories about divaness, divaland, divalicious."

Mrs. Cannon has a new single out called "Right To Dream" off her upcoming film soundtrack, "Tennessee." Mariah co-wrote the song with country legend Willie Nelson and there's already talks of a Best Song Oscar nomination. Give the new Mimi ballad a quick listen...
