52nd Grammy's Updates

As you should know, the 52nd Grammy Awards will be held tomorrow night. Possibly the biggest night in music, you can always look forward to great performances. Wigs will be snatched and Twitter will become over capacity. Here are some things we thought you should know about tomorrow night's show.

Gaga is opening up the show.
Yep. Lady Gaga will be opening the show with Elton John. Most likely, they'll perform "Speechless". I don't see this as a great opener, ...at all, but whatever. =/

Rihanna will NOT be performing.
Sorry, Rih fans. Despite previous mentions,  you will not see Rihanna touch the Grammy stage tomorrow night. She told Carson Daly's AMP Radio that she will be attending, but just not performing.

“We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.”

Beyonce WILL slay your faves.
Leading the nominee list with 10 nominations, No more needs to be said. Expect another career-ending performance and for her to rack up with more awards.

A Michael Jackson tribute will take place.
Probably the only award show who hasn't had their tribute for the great MJ, you can expect one tomorrow night. Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Taylor Swift, and more will all be a part of a 3-D Grammy MJ tribute. & Omarion is pressed because he's not a part... Girl, get over it.

Expect a night of music & some great performances.
You can always expect some great performances during the Grammy's. Look forward to seeing  Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Mary J. Blige, Maxwell, P!nk, Eminem, Lil' Wayne, & more.

Will Keri Hilson finally take home a Best New Artist award? Will this top the other MJ tribute shows? Make sure to watch the show tomorrow night at 8PM on CBS!

#FlashbackFridays! Keri Hilson - "Energy"

With all the Keri buzz this week, I figured I'd make this #FlashbackFridays post her very first solo single, "Energy". It's not really too old, but just look at how far she's come. This song made me fall in love with her. Do yall think she'll go far in the industry.?

Keri Hilson Talks Grammy's & Performs Acoustic!

2-time Grammy nominee, Keri Hilson sat down with Billboard.com to discuss her thoughts about the big night, as well as her new album.

"Even to just be on the paper, to be nominated, before the nominations... that was an honor. Because I think of the Grammy's as like, the Olympics, for musicians."

Nominated for 'Best New Artist', as well as 'Best Rap/Sung Collaboration', she admits that she doesn't expect to win. Either one, though, would be an honor for her, she says. I love how she's humbling herself as she proceeds in the industry. Keri also surprisingly performed an acoustic version her hit single "Knock You Down", which you can catch below!

"Knock You Down" Acoustic

Kanye & Amber Wear Fur Coats to Fashion Week

LMAO! They just don't give a f&ck, and I love it! Kanye West & girlfriend Amber Rose were spotted with these long ass fur coats they wore to the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Menswear Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010/2011. PETA gone be pressed about this one. WHO MAD?

#MusicVideo: Keri Hilson ft. Akon - "Change Me"

Unexpectedly to me, Keri has a new video for her song "Change Me" from her debut album In A Perfect World... & which features popular singer/songwriter/producer Akon.

Not really sure if this is an actual single -- but I doubt it matters for Keri at this point. Word is that she's currently in the studio and due to realease a sophomore effort in May of this year. Can't wait for that! & I have to say that Keri looks beautiful in the video, although her hair styles are killing me these days. I hate the change of wigs ; but hmmph. Thoughts.?

#MusicVideo: Mario - "Ooh Baby"

The performance was, Ke$ha. I love the song, but not too fond of her performances. I mean, ...the robot though? And for the Gaga comparisons.? Just no. This hoe could never.

#FlashbackFridays! Madonna - "Hung Up"

#OnTheSet: Beyoncé's New Nintendo® Commercial

#OnTheSet. Beyoncé recently teamed up with Nintendo® to film another commercial for their popular Nintendo® DS gaming device. Bey will contribute real-world designs from her line, House of Deréon to the company's Style Savvy DS game. She, herself, is a big fan of the game, which was released in November of 2009.

“I love that I get to become a stylist and take over my own boutique, and it’s so much fun to see some of my Dereon designs added to the mix.”

I can't wait to see the commercial. More pics after the jump!

#WigWednesday: Best Wig?

It's back! On this week's edition of #WigWednesday, we have Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Rihanna wore her curls while leaving dinner at El Squid Roe in Cabo San Lucas with her bew. Gaga was spotted with her ...um hair in Vegas last week. So, we ask. Who has the best wig.?

WHO REIGNS SUPREME?

#OOP! Is Omarion #TakingShots?

Omarion recently sat down with Kendra G for some promotion of his new album 'Ollusion' which hit stores today. Like many artists, he chose to throw shade to get paid. He cleared up the rumors and said there will NEVER be a B2K reunion. & for some reason, he thinks he's a better dancer than Chris Brown. =/

Now, I'm not a fan of either. But seriously.? Chris Brown will snatch Omarion's wig on the dance floor, and personally hand him the glue to glue it back on. Anyone plan on purchasing O's album.?

Beyoncé Preps for Some Time Off

Wig-snatcher & career ender, Beyoncé has announced that she has decided to take a long, well-deserved break this year. The singer told USA Today,

“I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”

Well, this may be good news for some of you. With the #1 deevuh on break, maybe, just maybe your fave can peak in the Top 50 for a week or two ...or not. I doubt she'll stay away too long. Bey is also scheduled to perform at this year's Grammy's on January 31, in which she leads the nominations list with a total of 10.

#NowPlaying: Trey Songz Remixes "Hard"

Trey Songz took it upon himself to remix Rihanna's single "Hard". It's said to be a "freestyle," but you know as well as I know, ...that it's not. Anyhow, I'll let you be the judge. Thoughts.?

#MusicVideo: Omarion - "Speedin'"

Peep the new video for Omarion's "Speedin'". His new album 'Ollusion' leaked last week, but hits stores tomorrow. I haven't listened, but I heard it's pretty good. Too bad he'll flop harder than Rihanna at a boxing match.

Gaga To Appear on Oprah!

Lady Gaga will be the featured guest on Oprah this upcoming Friday. WOW is all I can say. Some celebrities wait years and years to be a guest on her show, and Gaga has only been out for almost a couple of years. If this don't tell you she's snatching wigs, I don't know what will.

Rihanna's 4th Single "Rude Boy" Cover

#NaNiggahYouWRONGfaDis!

What can I say? It gets lonely over here sometimes. But here is the single cover for Rihanna's 4th single "Rude Boy" from her third album Rated R [which I have to say is very impressive, IMO]. Not only is the song itself one of the catchier one's from the album, I actually LIKE this cover.

I'm actually happy with this single choice; even though I do feel it's a little early in the season for such a summer-vibed song. I have high hopes in this single though -- but I know "Fire Bomb" better roll out next. Can't wait for the video ! BTW, this is the wallpaper on my phone. :) You've got me on this one Rihanna.

Beyoncé Covers Allure Magazine

Queen Bey scores her first magazine cover of the year with Allure Magazine's February issue. HOT! I know. =/ Bare with us; the HQ version of the cover will be posted soon.

Beyoncé Gets VIZIO Endorsement

My fave and your fave's fave, Beyoncé just received a new endorsement deal, adding on to her already-endorsed deals with American Express, L'Oréal, Crystal Geyser Water Samantha Thavasa, & more. She signed a three-year deal with VIZIO, "America's #1 LCD HDTV Company".

"What I love about VIZIO is how committed they have been to customers and their focus on delivering tremendous performance at a great value,” said Knowles. “As a performer, I can relate to that, because my fans spend their hard-earned money to see me perform, and I give everything I can to make sure I exceed their expectations. I’m excited to be associated with such a successful company.”
