Halloween 2009 was a pretty big event because it fell on a Saturday night, and you know the celebrities showed up and showed out at various events/parties over the weekend. Here are just a few of our favorites…

Eva Marcille and Lance Gross hit up Eva’s 25th birthday celebration at EZ Studios in New York City Saturday night (Oct 31). Eva’s birthday party doubled as a Halloween party and we’re not entirely sure who Eva went as … but if we could guess, we’d say Lance went as a “Blood.”

Steph Jones posted this pic of him and his singer girlfriend Jordin Sparks getting ready for their Halloween night out to his Twitter account over the weekend. Steph was dressed a “woman with a bad weave” and Jordin was “killer Dorothy.”

The youngest American Idol winner and platinum selling artist Jordin Sparks returns with her sophomore album Battlefield. Sparks made a splash on the scene not when she AI, but more so with her hit “No Air,” a duet with Chris Brown. While the song granted her a Grammy Nomination, her self-titled debut album only peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Now, she’s back with a hot new single and an even more impressive second album. I have spent days listening to the album and here’s my track by track review:

R&B singer Alicia Keys attended the National Black Theatre’s Communication Arts Program Symposium Friday in New York City. In other Alicia news, she recently announced that despite her talented musical background, she had to learn how to play the cello for her role in The Secret Life of Bees, on DVD March 31st. She added that even though she stopped practicing after filming wrapped, she does have plans on pursuing the instrument in the future.

“I had to work hard at it and I was constantly practicing, constantly learning and re-learning the proper way to play. It takes a year or so just to learn how to hold the bow properly and use it the right way, so just making it feel effortless and look effortless was a challenge. It had to look as if I’d been playing for 15 or 20 years. That took a lot of practice – but I’m used to discipline and practice … I didn’t play after finishing the film but I do want to rediscover it and I will probably start again from the beginning and learn properly,” said the star.”

American Idol Jordin Sparks has publicly made it known that she has a crush on fellow teen singer Chris Brown. But unfortunately for her, she’s traveling down a one-way street. This is what Chris Brown had to say at Fashion Rocks:

“I heard that [she has a crush on me]. But when we did that video, I didn’t feel that chemistry. I didn’t feel that. When they yell action, you have to put on a certain performance, but as far as off-camera: there’s no connection.”

Ouch! I know one person who won’t be quick to name off their crushes in the future…

“They thought it was a cyst,” she explained, according to Britain’s Press Association. “When they opened it up they realized it was more.”

The surgery was a success, and now that Naomi is in perfect health, she has plans on starting a family very soon. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m sure Naomi’s a good person and there’s a chance that she could be a really good mom. BUT! I believe there are people on this earth (women, of course) who should not be allowed to re-produce and bring children into the world. And in my humble opinion, Naomi Campbell is at the top of that list. Her temper just doesn’t cut it with me. Say her kid stays out a few minutes past curfew. How do you think Naomi’s gonna punish him/her? Homegirl went upside her maid’s head with a blackberry just for wearing her pants. Imagine what she’d do to her own kid! I shudder at the thought…

The 2008 Video Music Awards aired Sunday night and yours truly is here to bring you the 411 on all of the hottest (and not so hot) styles worn at the show! There were many hot styles worn to the show, but first and foremost, I gotta show some love to the men, because if you take out the select few that I will talk about later on in the post, just about every guy was dressed to impress! Some of the best dressed male celebs of the night were Ludacris, Ne-Yo, LL Cool J, T.I, John Legend, and Chris Brown. Ludacris looked like Mr. Urban High Fashion wearing Gucci from head to toe (tie included), Ne-Yo also looked good rocking Gucci from head to toe, LL Cool J lost the bedazzled tee’s and kept it simple yet classy in Gucci, John Legend really gave an edge to the classic white button up, black tie, and pants look by adding a fly white leather jacket, and Chris Brown decided not to wear his favorite red carpet designer and opted for a Louis Vuitton Jacket, Cassett Jeans, and Dior kicks. Keep reading for more styles from the show.

“Yeah, they are [dating]. It was really cool because I walked on the set and she was sitting there with Chris Brown and I was like I can’t believe she’s here.

#1: SOULJA BOY

17-year-old rapper Soulja Boy has cranked his way all the way to the top of Forbes Magazine’s Hottest New Music Stars 2008 list. He shares the list with the likes of Sean Kingston (#2), J. Holiday (#4), Flo Rida (#5), Jordin Sparks (#7), and more. The list was populated by artists who had big hits in 2007. How were they determined, you ask? Check out the info below:

To compile a list of the hottest new stars of music, we examined several measures of popularity and success. To start off, we looked at the top searches and downloads on peer-to-peer networks during the past 12 months as measured by BigChampagne, as well as press mentions as measured by Factiva.

Then we looked at U.S. digital track downloads and album sales in 2007 and the first two months of 2008, as measured by Nielsen SoundScan. Finally, we took a look at “mastertone” ringtone sales during the same period, as measured by Nielsen RingScan (mastertones are ringtones that play a snippet of the actual recording of your favorite song). [ VIA FORBES » ]

#2: SEAN KINGSTON
#3: COLBIE CAILLAT
#4: J. HOLIDAY
#5: FLO RIDA
#6: PLIES
#7: JORDIN SPARKS
#8: HUEY
#9: HURRICANE CHRIS
#10: ONE REPUBLIC

Too bad a good 40 – 50% of this list probably won’t even be around in 2013!

I know I might catch some flack for this but real talk, Tameka looks like she’s at the show with her three sons! Anyway, the 2008 Kids’ Choice Awards went down Saturday night in L.A. and you know all of the adult stars brought their kids to Nickelodeon’s annual awards ceremony.

America Idol’s very own, Jordin Sparks, releases her eponymous debut effort next week Tuesday (November 20th) as well off of Jive records. The Idol’s album includes some crazy, stellar production from the likes of Stargate, with the first single ”Tattoo,” and The Underdogs.

My, my, my, despite critic’s frivolous claims towards Sparks’ efforts, this album isn’t half bad, for a debut, especially considering how young the Arizona-native actually is. I’m so, so proud of Sparks becos she has come a very long way, for the most part, she gets high praises from me.

Overall this album wasn’t anything I expected, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad thing, there was some wicked jams and unordinary downbeats. I don’t think fans, existing or potential, will be disappointed. Some of my favorites are “No Air,” “Freeze,” “Shy Boy,” and “Just For The Record”.

Jordin Sparks » “Shy Boy” » [full] » LISTEN
Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown » “No Air” » [full] » LISTEN
Jordin Sparks » “Now You Tell Me” » [full] » LISTEN
Jordin Sparks » “Young and in Love” » [full] » LISTEN

Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown » “No Air” » LISTEN » (Full) » This is a new “rumored” single, “No Air,” featuring Chris Brown from American Idol’s own, Jordin Sparks. This is definitely a solid single, courtesy of The Underdogs, the only con I have is she oversings a tad towards the latter. Other than that I think this is a stellar pop ballad that is sure to top the charts almost effortlessly.

Usher feat. Ludacris » “Dat Girl” » LISTEN » (Full) » New material from Usher, say what? Yep, this is said to be a Rich Harrison production. The moment I heard this, I went into several mild seizures. Then it grew on me, tentatively, it’s different. My music tastes are a little weird, I know, but this may be that hit factor Usher needs. Some might disagree (or jump me), yeah, but just imagine if this came on in the club! I’m telling you, let it marinate, it will grow on you too… Look how dangerously big “Yeah” was.

M.I.A> » “Paper Planes” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Paper Planes” is said to be UK rapper M.I.A.’s next single from the critically proclaimed album Kala. Finally, I’m overzealous about how the video might turn out. “Paper Planes” is possibly one of my most songs off of the album Kala.

Fergie feat. Will.i.am » “Pick It Up” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Pick It Up” is a new track, featuring producer Will.i.am, that can be found on the Japan re-release of Fergie’s certified double platinum-selling album, The Dutchess. Ooh, I like this! Nice, mellow, guitar driven ballad. Will.i.am was also a nice touch to “Pick It Up,” as he always is.

K, we got a couple new video premieres for y’all! First up, I’m sure you guys remember American Idol’s Jordin Sparks’ single “Tattoo” last Summer, I love Stargate, but they are over-doing it with the “Irreplaceable” thing … I know that was like the number one song – but dang – I mean COME ON! I’m getting sick of it now!! Anyway, the video for that recently premiered on Yahoo! Music along with Pitbull’s new single, featuring Lloyd, “Secret Admirer,” which you can peep after the cut, I should have a review of that posted up in a minute. ;-)
