E! Online got the official invitation for Miss Kim Kardashian and her fiance Kris Humphries' wedding! Very fancy. The invite reads, "Kris and Bruce Jenner request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Kimberly Kardashian to Kristopher Humphries." The wedding invitation package also came with three glossy white-and-black cards which included more details on the wedding (how to RSVP, where and when to arrive for the ceremony, a request to keep all information "confidential" and suggestions for local hotels), a parking pass and notice that a reception and dinner will follow the ceremony.
Get it Ri!!!! Beautiful!
I'm doing this review WITH NO COMPARISON TO B! I thought about it, but that's overdone. And I'm sure other reviews have done/will do it. Kelly has made a name for herself in this industry long before this album came out. So I just wanted to give my perspective on this album based on Kelly's vocals and production of this album.
I listened to this entire album on YouTube. The album was put on Kelly's website a while ago. I didn't bother to listen to it then and, of course, she took it down for the release. I told myself I would listen to it, get a feel for it, and decide from there whether or not I would actually buy and add it to my iTunes library. I could've downloaded this album a while ago I'm sure, but if it was worth my money, Kelly would get it. Check out my review after the jump!
"Yeah I be the one that they love to mention. I tell 'em keep on talking cuz I love the attention." The high energy track "I'm Dat Chick" starts out the album. Co-written by Ester Dean, the track definitely shows Kelly's confidence in herself. From the beginning of the album, she's establishing herself as "dat chick," on that other level. Definitely a good start to the album.
"Ain't no other place he'd rather be than putting overtime in with me." Kelly keeps with the uptempo in the next track, "Work It Man" featuring rapper Lil Playy. She pays homage to the men who works hard in every aspect of their relationships to make it work. It might be hard work, might have to put in a little overtime especially for the women with baggage, but he doesn't mind. It's a basic song, but the beat is hot, and the hook is catchy.
"And tell 'em you'll be here in the morning, oh no. And tell your little friends that you're rolling solo." Kelly definitely had a good amount of features on this album. She takes it back to the uptempo with "Lay It On Me," featuring Big Sean. It's another sexy track, with Kelly telling her man to forget the plans he had and come on over and lay it down. This is Kelly's third single, and definitely a good choice because it's a commercial hit. I don't think it will be as big as "Motivation," but it's a good choice for a follow up.
"I can tell her that you're so unhappy. Instead I'm sipping till I'm empty." "Turn It Up" is probably one of my favorite tracks off this album. Produced and co-written by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Kelly drinks and parties away her complicated love life, as she had unknowingly been the other woman in her relationship for quite sometime. She contemplates telling wifey what's really going down, but just takes shot after shot. Not that I would recommend anyone drinking their sorrows away, but it's like that sometimes. It's really repetitive in terms of the lyrics, but the beat is AMAZING and I feel the message.
"Just a plain ole girl, I don't need nothin'. They say I got it all, but they don't know that all is you." The mellow love ballad, "Keep It Between Us," has Kelly confessing to her man that she could never see herself with anyone else, and she wants him to feel the same, to not give his love to anyone else. Sighhh....this song got me way too much in my feelings at work right now. Definitely a beautiful song.
"I feel free enough to party hard. This dress won't go to waste...feels like I own the place." "Commander" is the rave track of the album produced by world-renowned producer/DJ David Guetta. It's that fun, fist pumping, go wild, dance song that every album should have. This was a song that grew on me after a while. After Australia, the land of the rave music, I've gotten into these types of songs haha."I'm amazed, by you all. You bring out a side I didn't know." The final track of the standard edition, "Down For Whatever" is another rave track, very upbeat for the club. Again, just a fun, dance party song to rock to. Kelly talks to a specific love interest, sort of "Love In This Club-esque," saying that she's down for anything and everything, as he brings out a side of her she didn't know she had.
The deluxe version of Here I Am features a Ne-Yo written track, Heaven & Earth," as well as another techno song "Each Other," and remixes to "Motivation" and "Commander," with the latter featuring Nelly.
All in all, I give this album a B+. As I said, to me this was Kelly's official coming out album. She consolidated her spot in the game with Here I Am. Every track didn't do it for me, but overall, she did a great job. Her vocals were strong. There was never a doubt to me that the girl has talent, even though she was in the background in Destiny's Child. It was just when was she going to have her breakout moment. Here I Am did that for her. So I will be buying when I get back home. I'm impressed. Congrats Kelly! Now let's see how these sales come out.
The lawsuit alleges that Constance used the $7,500 a month that Leighton had given her on cosmetic procedures and other personal expenses instead of on Leighton's brother.
A source told PEOPLE., "This whole thing's been really tough on Leighton. Her only concern has always been taking care of her brother. Leighton's really close with her brother and her dad – her parents are divorced. Leighton's a sweet girl – she cares about work, friends and family."
Even though it hasn't been officially proven in court yet, I could see it. Leighton claims Constance threatened to sue her for $3 million if she didn't raise the monthly allowance to $10,000. Uh huh. Sometimes money changes people. Other times it changes the people around you. People see others they know making it, and figure that they should be making it too. And that's not the case. Not saying that a famous person making money shouldn't give back to their family, community, etc. I definitely would if I had the funds. However, you aren't about to be mooching off of me, using my money for things that we haven't discussed, getting Botox or whatever this lady was doing. That's a NO. I hope that Leighton gets this all resolved, and gets her money.
Can't even lie. Kelly Rowland is KILLING right now. "Motivation" is still doing well, she's judging the X-Factor over in England, and now she is set to star in a mini series. Bag of Bones, from author Stephen King, is said to feature Kelly along with Pierce Brosnan and Annabeth Gish. The two part, 4-hour mini series will start production in August and will premiere later this year on A&E. The official synopsis (via SingersRoom): Bag of Bones is the story of grief and lost love's enduring bonds, an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire and a new love haunted by past secrets. Bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, played by Pierce Brosnan, is unable to stop grieving after the sudden death of his wife Jo. A dream inspires him to return to the couple's lakeside retreat in western Maine where he becomes involved in a custody battle between the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child's enormously wealthy grandfather, the mysterious ghostly visitations, the ever-escalating nightmares and the realization that his late wife still has something to tell him.
Intriguing. I might sit down and watch when it comes out. Definitely want to see Kelly in this. Plus, even though Pierce Brosnan is getting up in age, he's still hot to me! Speaking of hot, check out some sexy pictures Miss Kelly took in a photoshoot with Derek Blanks after the jump! Stunning!
Contrary to other reports, this child is not the son of Lauryn's longtime boyfriend Rohan Marley. Rohan recently came under fire for allegedly dumping Lauryn during her pregnancy for Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana. He has dismissed the rumors saying, “Ms. Hill is the mother of my children, whom I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for. I would never do that.”
SIX KIDS?! Bless her heart, because I simply COULD NOT do it. Plan for Brittany: 2, maybe 3 and that's the cut off haha. But congrats to Lauryn and her family! Glad to hear baby boy is fine and everyone's doing well.
Sad news to report. According to The Guardian, Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London flat. Her death is unexplained as of yet. The Metropolitan police said: "Police were called by London ambulance service to an address in Camden Square shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene."
Amy was last seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier last week when the teenager performed at the iTunes festival.
Such sad news. I was just skyping my friend Ben in Australia when he told me the news. Absolutely crazy. I always talked about how talented Amy was, but that she just needed to get her life together. And now she's gone. It's a very sad situation. Prayers to her family and friends...rest in peace Amy.

However, everyone will most be excited to view the exhibits on the wedding. Not only will Kate's ivory and white dress, created by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. stand under lights in the Ballroom of the Palace, but there are other features of the wedding seen as well. In rooms where the wedding celebrations took place, visitors will see handcrafted bridal shoes by the team at Alexander McQueen (size 8, with three-inch heels) and a replica of Kate's bridal bouquet made of silk flowers by wedding florist Shane Connolly. There will also be a film about the creation of the dress, featuring Sarah Burton. The state dining room features the tiered wedding cake, which looks almost like it did on the wedding day itself.
Wish I was in England right now! I wasn't completely obsessed with watching the royal wedding, but I saw bits and pieces. That dress was absolutely stunning on Kate! It's nice that the Palace will feature different parts of the wedding to the public who is dying to see everything. I know the tourists will eat that up!
Ok, so the Paranormal Activity movies have always been terrible in terms of actually being scary. At least to me. I was just telling somebody the other day that I don't count them as horror movies. They're straight comedies in my book, which is why I have continued to go on and see them. And now Paranormal Activity 3 is coming out in October and I'm excited! The movie is a prequel to the entire series, and will explain why this evil spirit is so consumed with Katie. It will be released sometime in October. Check out the official trailer below!
“Our viewers have fallen for Single Ladies and its honest, modern take on love, female friendship and dating,” said Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming & production, VH1. “We’re extremely pleased to give the audience another great season of the series they love.”
I LOVE this show. The glitz and glamor attracted me, as well as the drama from episode one, and I've been a faithful viewer every Monday night since. Definitely glad that VH1 is continuing on with the scripted series, which is a first for them, and excited to see where the show and characters will go in the future.
In a few short weeks, Jersey Shore's fourth season in Italy will hit MTV! The trailer was released some hours ago, and can I just say that this looks like the CRAZIEST season of the Shore!

Snooki goes to jail for hitting a cop car. Mike gets pounded by Ronnie (well, we already knew that). The season premieres August 4 on MTV at 10 p.m ET. You already know I'll be there, tweeting away. Check out the trailer below!PEACE.
PEACE.
"I think I could make her laugh. I think she could make me laugh. We could laugh together." Hahaha is this kid for real?! Check out his invitation to Ms. Betty below!
PEACE.
Just last year, the couple renewed their vows for their sixth wedding anniversary. This marks Jennifer's THIRD divorce after her marriages to Ojani Noa and Cris Judd ended in 1998 and 2003, and Marc's second after divorcing his first wife Dayanara Torres. Always sad to see couples break up...I definitely thought that they would make it. I wish them both the best, and that they figure out a good way to continue to co-parent their children.
PEACE.
O-M-FREAKING-G!!!! Ok, those who know me know that I am a proud Gleek! I have the whole first season and have pre-order the second season set to come in September!
