Jennifer Hudson the new face of Weight Watchers


Oscar Winner Jennifer Hudson is the new face of Weight Watchers and I couldn’t think of a more perfect spokes person.

Jennifer who is slated to take on the role of Winnie Mandela in the upcoming biopic “Winnie” had to shed quite a few pounds for the role and now we’re finding out exactly how she made it happen!

Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” #1 for a 3rd week.


When I 1st got the Rated “R” disc, Rude Boy was the song that instantly caught my ear. I knew it would be a hit and I am so proud to relish in the fact that my instinct are more often right, than wrong.

Rhianna’s disc was initially thought of as a failure when it failed to reach the number one spot during its 1st week of release. That spot went to phenom Susan Boyle. Now almost 6 months after being released, “Rated R” is still making itself known on the charts and that is being helped a great deal by the single “Rude Boy”

Rihanna maintains her lead billing on the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week with “Rude Boy,” the third single from her latest album “Rated R.”

“Rude” also moves to the No. 1 slot on the Radio Songs chart, her fourth leader on that list and first since she was featured on T.I.’s 2008/2009 chart-topper “Live Your Life.”

“Live Your Life” was also the last song to earn Airplay Gainer honors for six consecutive weeks, a streak “Rude” reaches this week as it improves by a healthy 25 million listener impressions. Read more…

Dirty Money appear on American Idol


Damn…it pays to be Puff Daddy! How else would a group with limited airplay, no hit single and no album get to appear on the biggest television show in the world (American Idol)?

Puffy clearly has mob ties (jk). But seriously….as much as I love me some Dawn…what they hell is Dirty money doing on American Idol?

All shit talking aside….Dirty Money smashed it! Dawn and Kaleena, held it down!

This song may actually take off for them.

Usher and Will.I.AM take “OMG” to American Idol


Raymond VS. Raymond, is in stores now and Usher is doing his darn-dest to assure that it will be access. The R&B heartthrob stop by the obligatory American Idol and bought along some help in the form of Black Eyed Peas, front man Will.I.AM.

The two performed Usher’s new tune “OMG”

Side note: Usher in on pace to sell almost 400k next week and doesn’t even have a hit single. That’s what I call a fan-base!

Was is me or were Usher’s vocals…off? Not to mention the number was really flat in the beginning. Towards the end when Usher “Sasha Fierce” began to come out….is when the number finally actually gained some steam.

Keri Hilson forgets the words to the National Anthem


People can judge Keri for this one performing in front of 1000’s of people live….is not an easy feat. The Star Spangled Banner is not in her repertoire so i can understand how she could forget the lyrics.

But if she does it again…its on and poppin!

Keep your head up Keri

Janelle Monae “Tightrope” video


I am lover of all things unique and Janelle is certainly that. Conjuring memories of James Brown and days gone by, Janelle is a true throw-back.

Check out her new video where Janelle manages to execute some interesting choreography. Its hot!

Micki Minaj “Massive Attack” video


Is it just me or was this video an amalgamation of “Get Your Freak On” by Missy Elliot and “Crush On You” By Lil Kim?

I will admit that I love the over the top visuals and by doing so Nicki will undoubtedly pull in a huge gay following but the song itself…was just flat to me. I was expecting something with a harder beat and this track was very flat in my opinion. I’m hoping the song will grow on me.

See it for yourself and be your own judge:
