SEAN KINGSTON – “BEAUTIFUL GIRLS” » I believe we were the first to break on new Miamian artist SEAN KINGSTON with his debut “Colors” featuring the Game and Rick Ross, well Mr. Kingston is doing it real ample right now with his latest single “Beautiful Girls,” a reggae influenced ballad sampled with Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.” I knew this young man would eventually get noticed and would become the next best thing since sliced bread, especially with this catchy fusion between pop, reggae, and r&b “Beautiful Girls,” constant rotation down here. Sean Kingston’s self-titled album hits stores later this Summer – I wish him best of luck!

The Spice Girls Reunite for World Tour

Looks like a certain group is definitely having “The Best Year Ever!” The Spice Girls are reuniting and will release a greatest-hits album and kick off an 11-show world tour in December, it was announced in London today. The two-month tour will begin December 7 in Los Angeles and will include concerts in Vegas, New York City, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Capetown and Buenos Aires. Actor Richard E. Grant, who played the group’s manager in their 1997 movie Spice World, introduced the band at the press conference after a video montage of their greatest moments played on screen.

The tour “will be a proper good farewell to our fans,” said Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm, who had been portrayed in the British press as the last Spice to agree to a reunion. “A girl is allowed to change her mind,” she quipped. “We only started serious discussions this year. We feel the time is right. I’m very, very excited.”

“We are going to celebrate the past, do a small tour and that will probably be it,” said Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, who had just returned from an Asian vacation with soccer-player husband David Beckham after they said goodbye to their home in Spain on June 18. “Our priority is our families.”

The Spice Girls first conquered the world after their Svengali manager, American Idol creator Simon Fuller, launched their first catchy tune, “Wannabe” in 1996. But the group fired Fuller in 1997; Halliwell quit a year later and the remaining four parted ways in early 2001. Sources first told PEOPLE about the reunion plans in early June. The Girls have been busy lately: Brown welcomed a daughter, Angel Iris, in April; Halliwell had a baby girl, Bluebell Madonna, in May; and Bunton is expecting her first child in August. Mother-of-three Beckham is moving to Beverly Hills on July 12 ahead of her NBC show airing four days later. Referring to the baby boom, Beckham added, “We will definitely have a huge creche on tour.”

THE 2007 BET AWARDS: THE PERFORMANCES – Ciara, James Brown Tribute, and The Encore!!

Ciara definitely brought it! She never dissapoints on stage. The vocals weren’t as good as I would have hoped them to, but that’s not what most people like about her. She gets an A for effort as far as that goes. But home girl can dance her ass off and put on a show! But her live voice is improving I might add. She performed “Like A Boy” and went into “That’s Right” – which I personally think should be the next single instead of “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone.” But if she wants to be with HER BOO, then let her be… CONTINUE READING

Robin Thicke’s performance would have alright if I wasn’t tired of that damn song! Urgh, I was really hoping he’d do “Can You Believe.” But it’s all good. White boy still did his thing and represented…

I ain’t gon lie, when “Last Night” came out, I was wtf-in for a minute! But after some time, it got stuck in my head and I grew to love it. Now you know Diddy always brings it (visually at least) with his performances. I can’t say I was too pleased though. The visuals were great, but home boy just didn’t deliver too well. Is it that hard to sing live? He already sounds horrible singing on the track, so hearing him “belt” out the lyrics live wouldn’t hurt … that bad. But Keyshia Cole did her thing, and Lil Kim showed out too … so I can’t really complain!!
