Cassie and Diddy were up to their old habits in spirit of Halloween at New York City’s Lucky Strike Lanes. Cassie dressed up as Wonder Woman while Diddy -long pause- went as The Pope. Isn't it quite interesting where Diddy's hand is in the photo? FYI: Diddy celebrates his 39th birthday today!



All eyes were fixed on Chilli's ring finger when she was spotted at the Atlanta Hawks vs Philly game over the weekend. Maybe the ring was in support of her new Vh1 show - "Perfect Man for Chilli."



Lewis Hamilton and girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger celebrated his Formula 2008 world drivers championship title at the Brazilian Grand Priz in Sao Paulo on Sunday. Just like Chilli, Nicole has a huge engagement-type ring on her finger.



Brad Pitt and his daughter Zahara dressed up as leprechauns in Los Angeles for Halloween. Too cute!

Racecar driver Lewis Hamilton became the youngest British to win the Formula One World Title over the weekend. (FYI: Lewis is only 23!)




Check out this clip of his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger saying congrats to him....




In case you missed it, Nicole team up with LeBron James for his new commerical spot in support of his sneaker, The Six. (Thanks Necole!) It's a hilarious must-see clip...




On the music tip, Nicole and her fellow Pussycat Dolls performed "Whatcha Think About That" with Missy on "Dancing With The Stars" last week. Am I the only one that hope that Melody Thornton will get more air-time vocal wise? Other than that, PCD did a great job...

Fresh off the heels of their "Whatchu Think About That" video premiere, the Pussycat Dolls released another video for their latest single, "I Hate This Part." Nicole Scherzinger recently admitted to "People" magazine that a few tracks taken off her shelved solo debut project made it onto PCD's current sophomore disc "Doll Domination." So this may or may not explain all the solo Nicole time for the video. Point aside, what do you think about the song?





PCD were seen outside the Grill Royal restaurant in Berlin, Germany over the weekend. In case you're wondering who design Melody's shoes, visit Racquel's blog.

Those black Stella McCartney wedge ankle boots stood out front row thanks to fashionista Zoe Kravitz. The offspring of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Benet was seen soaking up the Spring 2009 collection at the Stella McCartney show during Paris Fashion Week. Zoe was also spotted at the Chanel fashion show rocking her chic boho look in another fly pair of Chanel boots.



Mary Kate Olsen wore the wedge pumps style for her cover appearance on Elle UK magazine - the July 2008 edition. Notice how the sole of MK and Zoe's are quite similar? (Fashionistas think alike, huh?)



The Pussycat Dolls filmed a music video for their third single, "I Hate This Part" off their current sophomore disc, "Doll Domination." (What happened to their video with Missy??!) Check out the pop group behind the scenes of the video shoot. In the video, the PCD girls celebrated Melody Thornton's birthday and Nicole Scherzinger talked about her favorite song off the album.

L.A Reid and Babyface rounded up the vocalists behind their Step Up To Cancer int'l charity song, "Just Stand Up" backstage at the 5th Fashion Rocks event.



All vocalists will perform live at Radio City Music Hall but the show wouldn't air until Sept. 9th on CBS. Can we focus on Keyshia's Gucci "Babouska" studded boots for a moment?? (FIERCE!)



Ciara rock these Versace platforms just like Kelly Rowland. Fierce shoe game all around in these photos, huh?



Okay this is my last time updating this blog post but check out the "Just Stand Up" performance...



The "Just Stand Up" vocalists pictured are Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Fergie, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, and Nicole Scherzinger.

Former model-turned-actress Joy Bryant got married Saturday to her stuntman fiancé David Pope in a beachside ceremoney at Amagansett New York. PEOPLE.COM reports that Joy wore a Missoni gown while David wore a Calvin Klein Collection suit. Joy and David met one another on the set of her film, "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins." (Congrats to Joy!)



Nicole Scherzinger and her new boyfriend Lewis Hamilton were seen leaving their dinner date at Japanese eatery Zuma in London over the weekend. Nicole soon after celebrated her 30th birthday at LAX nightclub with her Pussycat Dolls members and Polow Da Don. On the fashion tip, Melody Thornton was seen in the same pink sweater dress as Cassie.



Beyonce Knowles supported her husband Jay-Z's controversial headlining show at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England.



During his opening set, Jay-Z took shots at the critics who claimed hip-hop didn't belong at Glastonbury. He did so by performing the Oasis song, "Wonderland." Oasis guitarist Noel Gallager had criticized the booking of Jay as the headliner saying, “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.” Hov proved the doubters wrong and delivered a strong performance. [RAP-UP]




In related news, check out this recent interview Jay-Z did with "Jonathan Rose"...

Over at London's Hype Park, Pussycat Dolls lead vocalist Nicole Scherzinger (in Gucci Hollywood heels) attended Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration with her close friend Lewis Hamilton.




Nicole and Lewis were spotted together last month after his racecar gig. So are these two just close friends or are they'officially' dating? (Help me out here, Chris!)

On the fashion tip, Nicole Scherzinger seems to get her style inspiration from a lace Dolce & Gabbana top (dress, lol!) made famous by Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez back in 2001....



Anyhow Lewis had a run in with his famous ex-girlfriend Naomi Campbell at the event which you can check out in the photos below.

The Pussycat Dolls finally dropped the video premiere of their single, "When I Grow Up" taken off their forthcoming second disc. Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger got all of the camera time while her PCD counterparts dance around in the background. (Melody Thornton can sing, can't she?) Anyhow, I'm anticipating the group's new CD as their first was great and mindlessly fun to listen to.



In related news, PCD belt out their hit, "When I Grow Up" on Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” Well girl groups are either known collectively as a group or a group with a lead singer. Nevertheless, PCD offered energy during their performance...

The 2008 MTV Movie Awards was jam packed by stars such as Rihanna, Chris Brown, Will Smith, Jennifer Hudson, Diddy, The Pussycat Dolls, and Meagan Good.




PCD were outfitted in D Squared. (One of their outfits also happens to be the very same Dsquared Spring 2008 outfit that Rihanna wore for her "COSMO" cover.) I like those YSL tribute sandals Melody has on.

Rihanna didn't walk the red carpet but she instead was seen side by side with her close friend Chris Brown during the awards ceremony. Chris joined Rihanna to sing "Cinderella" (re: "Umbrella" remix) at one of her "Glow In the Dark" tour stops and you can check out the footage here. (Chris is either smitten with Rihanna or he's one loyal male friend as he is not on the "Glow in the Dark" tour officially.)

Jennifer Hudson's current film, "Sex & The City" made over $55 million dollars in its opening weekend. (A sequel for the film based on the popular HBO series also has been talked about.)

Nicole Scherzinger and her close friend Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton were spotted holding hands in Monaco. Nicole and Lewis have claimed to the media that they are just friends. (Last year, Nicole and Lewis were romantically linked.)



Naomi Campbell attended the original 'it' girl Tamara Beckwith's birthday party at the Beach Blanket Babylon in London. In related news, Naomi was formally charged of police assault at Heathrow.

Jennifer Hudson, soon after the N.Y.C premiere of "Sex & The City", was seen outside the Hot 97 headquarters yesterday afternoon. Rumor has it that JHud is dating Punk.




Liya Kebede recently filmed a promotional AD campaign for Estee Lauder at Piccadilly Circus in London. Are you feeling her hairstyle?

Meagan Good was spotted outside Coco de Ville in West Hollywood. Meagan Good recently graced the June/July issue of "Upsplace" magazine where she talked about her image and boyfriend Thomas Jones.

Tyra Banks and her chic Azzedine Alaia waist-clinging belt can be seen on the June 1st cover of The New York Times Magazine...

“Her brand, like her trademark ‘tough but still smiling’ smile, is consistent in all her shows: serious about the frivolous; empathetic and empowering, and always, always aimed at young women, across all races. It’s girly TV with a punch”. [quote & photo via BROWNSISTA]

Usher and his Lanvin sneakers were seen outside Hot 97 studios in NYC. (He signed a copies of his CD for a few fans waiting outside for him.) Prior to his visit, he launched his partnership with Sony Ericsson. UPDATE: Folks have illegally downloaded Usher's "Here I Stand" album half a million times already. So I guess I'm the one individual that went out and purchase this album???!)




Solange's upcoming music video for her lead single, "I Decided" will finally have its BET premiere on June 5th. Solange updated the background image on her myspace page and I call the artwork artistic. With or without the questionable red paint, are you feeling this new artwork??!
