Kelly Rowland has decided to switch management from Mathew Knowles to 19 Entertainment's Simon Fuller according to The YBF. Kelly's last record, "Ms. Kelly Deluxe" especially the track "Work" was a top 10 smash for her European audience and the album sold over 1.5 million copies. If the report is true Kelly is expected to announced her management change in 2009. Kelly has since made the UK her home base subsequently. Best of luck to Ms. Kelly!



Here's another fun fashion face-off between Taylor Swift and Ashanti in Kaufman Franco. Taylor recently wore this sequin number to the 42nd Annual CMA Awards while Ashanti sported the look for her "The Way That I Love You video. Ashanti's curves simply makes this dress so she wins this comparison to me but which look is on lock?

VS model Selita Ebanks and Kat De Luna were seen in color coordinated outfits at the Benefit Shine On Sierra Leone event. On the music tip, Kat has been in the studio with Mark Ronson -the man behind my favorite Amy Winehouse song "Valerie."



On Selita's feet are the popular Christian Louboutin "En Passant" pumps that Tamara Mowry, Rihanna, Bar Refaeli and Beyonce previously wore.



Rihanna (the new Gucci Tattoo Hearts Collection brand face) ran through her rehearsals for this Sunday's American Music Awards which airs on ABC. Rumor has it that she'll perform "Rehab."

Case in point, Rihanna has release many singles off her breakthrough disc, "Good Girl Gone Bad."



Solange and her favorite cobalt Christian Louboutin pumps were spotted at the SoHo Relaunch of boutique MANGO. (You gotta like the fact that Solange rocks her favorite style pieces.)



A very pregnant M.I.A and her husband-to-be Benjamin Brewer attended the "GQ Men of The Year" party at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles. M.I.A talked about her engagement to "Spin" magazine: "When he asked me out on a date, I thought, 'I don't know,'" she continues about Brewer, with whom she's also expecting a child. "It's like crossing over to the other side. I've always had that fuck-the-system mentality, and his dad is so 'the System.' But then, they're the most liberal family -- they bootlegged alcohol, for God's sake. They're rich because they threw big, illegal parties, so I don't mind." [READ MORE...]

At The Madison Room in New York Palace, Kimora Lee Simmons launched her new fragrance, "Baby Phat: Fabulosity". Selita Ebanks and Kimora's assistant BJ Coleman were at hand for the event.

Kimora spoke with PEOPLE.COM about her boyfriend Djimon Hounsou's Calvin Klein billboard that can be seen in Hong Kong.

"He's really big," Simmons, 32, said of Hounsou's underwear ad, which Calvin Klein's reps claims is the largest in Asia. "We were just there when it went up. Isn't it a great billboard?"

The Life in the Fab Lane star – who split from mogul Russell Simmons in 2006 and recently denied reports she's expecting – couldn't help but admire her beau's sleek physique (Hounsou is seen only in a pair of tightie whities). She boasted, "He's the biggest one in the world, honey."
