Beyonce Rocks Her First Concert Post Baby

Bey is Back on Track! After taking a break from performing because of newborn daughter Blue Ivy, she took the stage at Atlantic City this past weekend to show us what she's working with! After four and a half months of hard work and dedication, Beyonce says that losing the baby weight of 60 pounds was not easy! What's amazing to me is not how she supposedly lost those 60 pounds, but more so WHERE THOSE 60 POUNDS WERE STORED! I'll tell you where - on her hips, and bootay giving her more of those crazy curves! Whatever her secret was (besides the treadmill and eating lettuce), Beyonce looked amazing with her post baby body just in time for her performance.

Hollywood's Worst Kissers

I found this article pretty funny and ironic, thinking that even the hottest stars in Hollywood have a bad rep for this smooching skills. StyleBistro gives the low down that you want to know, just in case any of you will be kissing these celebrities any time in your future...


ANGELINA JOLIE - Most of the people I know adore her big, juicy lips. James McAvoy on the other hand isn't one of them...he said, "I can tell you what it was like to kiss her on a film set. It was awkward, sweaty, and not very nice."

TOM CRUISE - He is looking pretty good nowadays for his age. But while filming Mission Impossible 2 back in 2000, Thandie Newton said, "Kissing Tom Cruise was slightly icky and sort of wet...I'd really go home at the end of the day actually moaning about...how many times we had to do it."

LEONARDO DICAPRIO - Now I know all you girls wanted to be Kate Winslet in Titanic, but would you still want him as your lover after what Virginie Ledoyen, The Beach co-star had to say? "I think Leonardo is a nice guy. But I don't want him as a lover. There [was] no honest passion. No real sensitivity in our love scenes. In our underwater love scenes all I could think of was not drowning. I can't even remember his kiss."

ROBERT PATTINSON - This Twihard has won a good number of MTV Movie Awards for Best Kiss, but leave it to Robert Pattinson to call himself out on his kissing skills. In a love scene with Reese Witherspoon in Water For Elephants, he says, "My nose was running all over the place … and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig."

HARRISON FORD - Leave to it Helen Mirren to add fuel to the fire! She calls Harrison Ford "the nicest, sweetest guy you could want to meet. But he can't kiss – he finds it impossible to kiss on-screen. He's probably not very good off-screen either. It's not just me; other actresses agree. Whenever we get chatting off-screen and we get around to talking, we come to the same conclusion." Ouch!

JASON SEGEL - Alyson Hannigan was so disgusted by Jason Segel's smoke breath, that she refused to do any romantic scenes with him. This actually caused Jason to quit smoking!

VICTORIA BECKHAM - The late Corey Haim used to date Miss Pose Spice, and even said once that "She does this little grr gnaw thing that felt like a girl gnawing on your lip."

ORLANDO BLOOM - When the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out, Orlando Bloom praised Keira Knightley's kissing skills saying "She's a great kisser". But Keira couldn't return the favor, openly saying that Johnny Depp was the better kisser by far.

STEVE CARELL - In his movies, Steve Carell seems to never catch a break. Leave it to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to punch the punching bag saying, "So the bottom of a cat's paw – the soft supple part underneath – that's what Steve Carell's lips are like. But his tongue is like kitty cat litter. That's the physical experience."

SIENNA MILLER - I'm not the first to believe that it's all about taking care of your mouth and teeth! While on set for their movie Camille, James Franco admitted that his love scene with Sienna Miller had to be cut short because of a toothache she had. "I think we kissed once in that film and it wasn't at all intense - there was no rolling around or anything. Sienna's molar was giving her pain so she called the dentist!"

EMMA WATSON - While finally filming the big kiss between Harry Potter and Hermoine Granger, Daniel Radcliffe thought Emma Watson's get it over with mentality a bit too much. "I was ambushed! It was full on. It was incredible, I was not expecting that...I always thought it was going to be this soft sensual sort of moment and suddenly there was this vigorous kissing happening to me. She is a bit of an animal."

MATT LANTER - Co-stars Matt Lanter and AnnaLynne McCord have to kiss all on time on the set of 90210 but the gal doesn't seem thrilled to kiss her man on screen. She says that Matt Lanter is "a really bad kisser" and kissing him "kind of sucks". Talk about not holding anything back!

WOODY ALLEN - Helena Bonham Carter spills the beans on how Woody Allen prefers the way to kiss his co-star. "He tells you up front certain ways of kissing he does not want. No exchange of liquid is permitted. It can be a bit offensive because he makes no effort at all." You can't expect something without no effort Woody!

So money and international fame doesn't equate your ability to be an all-star smoocher. To make sure your bad kissing abilities don't travel on the gossip train, hmmm scratch that because some people are blessed with good kissing skills while others aren't. Better practice or better luck next time!

When you think of Forbes, you think of money am I right? As you know money equals power and for this year's list, an unlikely name was the frontrunner: Jennifer Lopez.

AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 11 FINALE!

Let me be the one to tell you that American Idol has the Best Finale! Seriously all the other shows try to top it, but I believe no one EVER will! They have so much star power, and just the entire segment of the special two hour finale is filled with surprises and amazingness!

I feel it's like you cannot meet one moment of the entire show because every second of it has something worthy of tuning into. Just to name a "few" of the jam-packed duets and guest performances: Rihanna performed "Where Have You Been"; Chaka Kahn joined all the female finalists in singing "I'm Every Woman"; Neil Diamond sang "Sweet Caroline" with all the male finalists; Reba McEntire and Skylar Laine sang "Turn on the Radio"; Josha Ledet and Fantasia Barrino sang Elton John's "Take Me to the Pilot"; Hollie Cavanagh and Jordin Sparks belted out "You'll Never Walk Alone"; Philip Phillips and John Fogerty from CCR teamed up together to sing some classics "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" and "Bad Moon Rising"; Jessica Sanchez and Jennifer Holliday sang the "Dreamgirls" signature song "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". The male finalists also did a tribute to Robin Gibb who passed away recently by paying homage to the Bee Gee classics "How Deep is Your Love", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" and "To Love Somebody".

To be a judge on Idol, you get some serious exposure. Not only the fact that you're on an insanely popular television reality show competition, but because you can also use it as a platform for your music. Case in point...Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. My girl Jennifer Lopez strutted her stuff and performed "Goin' In" with Lil Jon and Flo Ride and "Follow the Leader" with the Puerto Rican duo Wisin & Yandel. Too bad those baggy bottoms didn't come off, I was waiting to see a more revealing outfit, but as usual Jennifer Lopez just looks too damn good in everything...(love.that.woman). Steven Tyler also got up onstage to perform the new single "Legendary Child" and the classic "Walk This Way" with fellow Aerosmith members.





The best performances of the night for me were definitely Hollie Cavanagh and Jordin Sparks dueting on "You'll Never Walk Alone" and Jessica Sanchez and Jennifer Holliday singing their hearts out to "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". All these women put their hearts and souls out to sing these songs and give it's credit due. They totally nailed the songs!





Being a sappy romantic, the highlight of the night was definitely the live wedding proposal from fifth season Idol finalist Ace Young to third season runner-up Diana Degarmo. He brought her up on-stage and confessed his love for her and their future together. It made me low-key emotional myself seeing this! Of course Diana accepted too! Both actually didn't meet on idol, but on Broadway when they worked on the Hair production together. This is a freakin gorgeous couple and I'm so happy for the both of them! And now I'm low-key obsessing about them!

As Phillip Phillips was announced the American Idol Season 11 winner, I wasn't necessarily surprised. I've been noticing with American Idol that the trends on the winners of each season have usually been males with a country/rock background! It takes me back to Taylor Hicks, Scotty McCreery, and now Phillip Phillips. Even though Jessica Sanchez didn't win, though she totally deserved to in regards to her amazing and soulful voice, her career is basically taken care of. There have been numerous American Idol contestants who didn't win the title, but have had even more successful careers than the actual winners! Remember Jennifer Hudson and Clay Aiken? Nonetheless, congratulations to PP! I'll definitely support you Miss Jessica Sanchez! And to the beloved American Idol, keep doin' your thang with these finales!

Billboard Music Awards 2012 Fashion Recap

Now you know that I can't forget about paying homage to the fashion at the Billboard Music Awards last night. Since there weren't a lot of stellar fashion trends last night just from the women, I included some men in here as well. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like there weren't a lot of big names there that were that memorable on the red carpet. Anywho, here's who made my Dressed List.


Brandy - Looked amazing in this Herve Leger by Max Azria dress that fit so perfectly with her afro hair and just the look and feel of the music awards.

Katy Perry - Looked celestial in this Bluemarine purple gown. Congrats on being the only female recognized to have five #1 hit singles!

Monica - Pulled an Angelina on the white carpet. Talk about blending in, she looked beautiful!

Alicia Keys - Looked so chic and elegant in this black Azzedine Alaia gown that fit her curves so perfectly. I love her funky updo too!

Jordin Sparks - Kept in the nude with this pretty Diane von Furstenburg dress. This beauty looked amazing that night!

Nelly Furtado - All I can say is I love this Alberta Ferretti dress! Maybe the necklace overpowered this dress a bit too much though...

Usher - Okay Usher, we know you look fly in this electric baby blue suit! Props to you sir!

Swizz Beatz - Oh you fancy uh? I am definitely feeling this cream suit!

Robin Thicke - Rockin' the checkered jacket is the svelte voice Robin Thicke! I like this funky style!

Eric Benet - There are so many patterns going on here, but somehow it works for Mr. Eric Benet!

Some fashion trends that were highlighted last night were checkered jackets, pastel and nude colors and...LEGS! Show off your hard work in the gym with your beautiful legs! You deserve it, but don't forget to WORK IT!

BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2012 RECAP

Last night was the Billboard Music Awards 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Honestly, the one reason why I tuned into this broadcast was LMFAO of course! If I spoke too soon, hold on to your horses because LMFAO ended up opening up the show with my song "Sexy and I Know It". But honestly, that was probably one of the top highlights of the night, including Jordin Sparks' & John Legend's tribute to Whitney Houston, and the Alicia Keys & Stevie Wonder duet. Hosts Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen were pretty lackluster in my opinion. They definitely did not make me want to tune into the show, more or less, see what they had to say! I felt for one of music's more iconic nights, especially in Las Vegas, the chosen hosts should have lively, out-of-this-world personalities, don't you?! I felt it was too forced!

If this awards show had any impact on me, it would have to be British boy band The Wanted! All these guys are sooo cute, I'm a fan! Yes, the performances by Justin Bieber and Usher were cool (especially Usher's), but when I think of one pretty bad performance, I would have to give it to Chris Brown. Call me biased already against Chris Brown, but even though he's a great dancer, I AM TIRED OF HIM LIP-SYNCING! IT'S HORRID! Like how more fake do you have to be?

SNL Goes Through Another Wave of Change

SNL has been the birthplace of so many big stars that have had beyond successful careers in the entertainment world. Tonight is the season finale of SNL with Mike Jagger hosting and Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters as the musical guests. But it is rumored that three big stars from the show will be saying farewell to SNL: Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, and Jason Sudeikis.

As another election season is looming, it's not as likely that all three cast mates will leave SNL. For example, Sudeikis plays Vice President Joe Biden and Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Nevertheless, these particular cast members has found success while still being a part of SNL, a feat bigger than former members who have found fame with an SNL character after they left the show (Kristen Wiig Bridesmaids, Andy Samberg That's My Boy, Jason Sudeikis Horrible Bosses). Whatever the outcome may be, I'm sure any of their decisions would be for the best. If any of them leave, what is your favorite skit they were in?

"In that way, 'Saturday Night Live' has more in common with the mafia than any other TV show: No one ever really leaves."

Donna Summer Passes Away After Battle with Cancer

This morning the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer passed away at the age of 63 due to a long battle with lung and breast cancer...

Donna Summer's career blew up in the 70's disco era, especially with the hit single "Love to Love You Baby" which ended up being a 17-minute version. This catapulted her into international fame quickly, most notably in Europe and the U.S. As she was releasing hit after hit, Summer struggled dealing with the pressure of fame. In 1979, she declared herself a born-again Christian, and strayed away from her disco roots when it came to making music.

Within the past year, she appeared as a guest judge on Platinum Hit and was currently still working on her music.

List of Accomplishments and Recognitions:

- One NAACP Image Award
- One time Juno Award nomination for Best Selling International Single,"I Feel Love"
- Three Multi-Platinum albums in the United States
- Eleven of her albums went Gold in the United States
- Twelve Gold singles
- Six American Music Awards
- She was the first female African American to receive an MTV Video Music Awards nomination ("Best Female Video" and "Best Choreography" for "She Works Hard For The Money")
- Two Golden Globe Award nominations (one win for "Last Dance" Song and one nominated for "The Deep" John Barry's Song)
- Summer has received five Grammy Awards
- 1979: Best R&B Vocal Performance (Female), Last Dance
- 1980: Best Rock Vocal Performance (Female), Hot Stuff
- 1984: Best Inspirational Performance, He's a Rebel
- 1985: Best Inspirational Performance, Forgive Me
- 1998: Best Dance Recording, Carry On
- Twelve Grammy Award nominations (total of seventeen).
- 1979: Best Pop Vocal Performance (Female), MacArthur Park
- 1980: Album of the Year, Bad Girls
- 1980: Best Pop Vocal Performance (Female), Bad Girls

- 1982: Best Inspirational Performance, I Believe in Jesus
- 1983: Best Rock Vocal Performance (Female), Protection
- 1983: Best R&B Vocal Performance (Female), Love is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)
- 1984: Best Pop Vocal Performance (Female), She Works Hard for the Money
- 2000: Best Dance Recording, I Will Go with You (Con te Partiro)
- Summer placed a Top Forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in every year from 1976 ("Love to Love You Baby") to 1984 ("There Goes My Baby").
- Summer was the first artist to score three consecutive number-one double albums.
- Summer was twice honored by the Dance Music Hall of Fame; once with her induction as a recording artist and again with the induction for her influential single "I Feel Love".[16]
- Summer's music career has landed her as the eighth most successful female recording artist in history according to Billboard[citation needed].
- Summer's career span of Billboard number-one Disco/Club Play hits spans from 1975's "Love to Love You Baby" through 2010's "[To Paris With Love]".

This news totally shocked me, maybe because when I think of Donna Summer, memories of her music while I was growing up come into play. My parents basically raised me with oldies, classic rock, and disco music which I still love to this day though many people have no idea. Especially when disco came on which my mom absolutely loves, we'd get up from what we were doing and just dance. The disco dancing era was all about getting dressed up and literally dancing the night away. Donna Summer, your music will live on forever...Rest In Peace.

Raven Simone Comes Out of the Closet?

News has been swirling that Raven Simone has come out of the closet...as a lesbian! Supposedly, the news came from the National Enquirer (such a trusted source right?), that...

"Sources close to Raven say she’s GAY and has shacked up with AzMarie Livingston, the androgynous beauty seen on “America’s Next Top Model.” The two are living together in Raven’s luxury $11,00-a-month New York City condo...She’s at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie. She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way.”

I mean who describes her perfect man to be a "mannequin so he comes alive when [she] needs him to"? Though it's not completely confirmed, buzz has been swirling about this news outbreak. What do you think? ALL I KNOW IS...THAT'S SO RAVEN!
