Nicole Richie was amazingly beautiful at the 2008 ASCAP Pop Awards last night at the Kodak Theater. She and little sis, Sophia Richie, came out to support dad Lionel as he picked up an award.All they needed was little Harlow to make this picture complete. Moving along,Hot writer star of "love in this club" cuz it sure ain't usher Keri Hilson came through. There is so much buzz about her upcoming project.

I forget it every time, and i'm sure not about to Google his azz-My little English muffin, Natasha Bedingfield, and winner Justin Timberlake were both spotted on the inside.

THE RETURN
2008-04-09 17:26:00
Instead of making a big impact on the charts with his 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller, it looks like Michael Jackson will be making a big impact on our wardrobes once again. Fashion trends are cyclical, right? It seems that his famous "Thriller" jacket is making a comeback. Usher was seen wearing a thriller-inspired jacket on TRL, and Rihanna will be sporting one in her upcoming video for "Take a Bow." Are you guys going to go out and buy a new-age thriller jacket? Or do you still have that one in the closet from back in the day?

SOLANGE UPDATE
2008-04-09 01:14:00
Singer Solange Knowles has posted new promotional pictures on her Myspace page. The singer has also confirmed that the first single from her album Hadley Street Dreams will indeed be "I Decided." The Pharrell produced track leaked a few weeks ago and took a while to grow on me, but i like the "Supremes" vibe she has on it. The version that is on her myspace differers from the leak, so definatley go check out the final cut of "I Decided." There is still no word on the album release date, but hopefully she will be releasing more info in the weeks to come.For those of us pondering the title of her album, Hadley Street Dreams, the street address of Music World Entertainment (her father's record label) is 1505 Hadley Street. Houston, TX 77002. So i am assuming that this is part of the reason that she titled her album as such. I can't wait to get my hands on Solo's eclectic new album. What say you guys about the new picture?

HIP HOP TRENDS FOR THE INNER REBEL
2008-04-08 07:43:00
Diamonds are a favorite with celebrities. In the past celebrities have had fun with diamonds in grills, worn by Flavor Flav, and shoe bars, but now some are sporting diamond dress pins and buttons. Jay-Z, was spotted wearing these newest of accessories at the 50th annual Grammy awards. The women also got in on the act with the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna both wearing bold, diamond jewelry, cuffs. Rough loose diamonds are also being made into jewelry items, which add a bit of primal delight to some very classic occasions. Alicia Keys wore a 36.33 set of rough diamond earrings to the Grammys. At the Oscars, Nicole Kidman made a big splash with her nearly 1400-carat rough and polished diamond necklace. Celebrity trends are coming down to the average person who wishes to emulate successful people. Hip hop jewelry is one market that continues to attract attention, even if the buyer has a small budget. There are multiple items in hip hop that are fun to wear. Things like lighted LED bu...

"LOVE IN THIS CLUB" [VIDEO]

I DON'T WANT TO TAINT YOUR VIEWING EXPERIENCE WITH MY OPINION, SO CHECK OUT WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE VIDEO AFTER THE CUT..Well, it seems to me that marriage and parenthood has made Usher a little stiff, no? The best parts of the video were hot because of Keri Hilson, and Usher's energy was at level three. I mean the video is alright, but i expected more. What do you guys think?

SINCE NEWS IS SLOW, I FIGURED I'D CATCH UP WITH MY FORMER QFCs (Quick's Favorite Crackhead[s])Photogs caught up with my lovely Popsicle stick, Amy Winehouse, as she arrived home after visiting her husband in prison:Judging by what she is wearing, chick paid her man a conjugal visit. The leather gloves, and freakum dress are not necessary for a trip to the pen, unless... Well, i'm not sure if My-My is clean and sober, but at least she got her skin situation under control.

Now fellow Making the Band fans correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Diddy tell Aubry about hanging around with drunk sn[b]itches, and how is wasn't good for both HIS money and her image on the first episode of season 4?Hard headed. She was spotted running around West Hollywood over the weekend with shriveled up porn star Jenna Jameson. I would not want to be around when these pics get back to Diddy.

Over the weekend, Rihanna got her philanthropy work in. She kicked things off by performing at a benefit concert at Chicago's Vision Nightclub:It looked like she was having tuns of fun on stage in her interesting outfit. I wonder if her style is going to tone back down in the future, or if this is a look she plans to stick with for a while? Anywho, she held a meet and greet for some of the children that she was performing for after the show was over:...i love to see our stars giving back.

BREAK THE DAWN + HARLOW EMERGES

Michelle Williams is pushing ahead with promo for her upcoming album Unexpected. Toward the end of last week her official website was updated with new photos and news information. I must admit that Michelle is looking quite fine in these photos; i love the edgier, darker look. I'm disappointed that the first single is "Break the Dawn " instead of "Stop This Car," but i'll take what i can get:According to her website, "Break the Dawn" will premiere on People.com on Monday, March 31st! I am assuming that a video will soon follow. I'm excited for Michelle and wish her the best of luck.

A few weeks ago, i introduced you guys to Beth Ditto, my new favorite hot mess, from the band Gossip. Well over the weekend, she performed her version of "Freakum Dress" (not really, just look at the dress and entertain the thought) at Shepherds Bush Empire in London:I'm really at a loss for words. And suddenly, i don't want to eat the Whooper Jr. with cheese directly to the left of my computer. She sort-of reminds me of what Amy Whinehouse would look like if she kicked the meth, and turned to comfort eating. This "Freakum Dress" reprise from Lil Bit & Big Ray is the only YouTube video that could accompany these flicks. Pay special attention to the way Ray sings "lemme fix my haair,":

Good news everyone...i made it through my 21st birthday with no major damages being done. Only problem was, i woke up this morning completely nude. Anyhow...some of my favorite people were spotted at the LA screening of "Trembled Blossoms" presented by Prada:Nicole Richie looked good in Miu Miu. I know one thing. She's been out and about since giving birth, and i have yet to see her anywhere in public with Harlow Winter. I guess this is a smart, safe move considering the paparazzi would go crazy to get pictures of Nicole and her child. Taye Diggs and Rosario Dawson took time out to play catchup. Ex-"Girlfriends" star Tracey Ellis Ross showed up wearing some interesting shoes.DETAILS MAGAZINE THROWS PARTY FOR "MAVERICKS 2008" ISSUERandy Jackson, Reggie Bush, and Kim Kardashian attended a Details magazine party for their "Mavericks 2008" issue in Beverly Hills.I can't put up pictures of K-Squared without giving you her "money" shot.
