Mariah Carey Calls Off Wedding Celebration

Mariah Carey has reported called off her lavish wedding celebration because she couldn't secure a photo deal that would cover the party's costs. It had previously been reported that Carey and husband Nick Cannon would host an over-the-top party in New York City to compensate for their low-key nuptials in the Bahamas. "Mariah was willing to pay for the wedding, but the way she hoped to pay for the wedding was through the sale of photos," a source told MSNBC's The Scoop. "No one was interested."
Even though no party is planned, EOnline.com reported last week that Carey's assistant allegedly sent out "more than 100 e-mails to her wealthy friends letting them know she's registered at Bergdorf Goodman if they want to buy her a present."
Among the items the singer registered for are fine china and silver items.

Juice Krew Bringing the 80's Back

In a fashionable galaxy, far far away lives a group of fresh kids who are able to rock the dope hip hop styles of the 1980's into 2008s fashion temperament. Trendsetters such as Teyana Taylor, The Retro Kidz and Tokyo Diiva and The Juice Krew are serving us with dookie gold ropes, Gucci links, high top fades, staked mushrooms, acid wash jeans, British Knights, Mickey Mouse sweatshirts, fat laces, Nefertiti emblems, Africa medallions and a full spectrum of neon color. Individual creative style rules in 80s hip hop fashion so it is now inspiring to see these iconic styles back in 3-D.

Jedi fashionista, Tokyo Diiva answers a few of our style questions to get to the heart of 80's style done now,
What inspires your style?
My style is a little bit of everything. The past influences me by being retro and rocking things such as dookie rope chains, 4 finger rings, door knockers, acid washed/colored skinny jeans, wind breakers and so on. The present influences me by always looking at whats the trend and going the complete opposite way and making a 360, because I don't like to fit in. This is how every youth wants to dress. I always try to think ahead and start trends and then when people catch on I switch it up again! I get tons of my fashion style from characters I love. I would rock a captain hat, Star Trek inspired glasses, Barbie with the bright pink lipstick; I'm just a whole world of fashion stuffed into one little body!
Why do you have a certain affinity for 1980s hip hop style?
I'm not completely 80s. I just love a couple items and trends from that era. I don't want to be put in a category of being 80s. The 80s in my opinion was the most free-styled and most fashionable. I like the pin curls from the 60s and maybe the whole Moulin Rouge thing from the 20s I just take a bit of everything and do my thing. I don't like the 70s I'm not walking around rocking a Afro or string around my forehead!! The hippie thing is not really my thing!
It's unique because I dare what a lot of people fear. I don't care if people stare or don't get it. I'm shameless and I'm in my own world I don't dress to please people.I dress to please myself.
Who are your style icons?
I don't have a style icon really. I respect the fashion style of people such as Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Micheal Jackson, M.I.A., Kanye West, and Barbie. . . .yes the doll!!!
What is your favorite beauty item?
Pink lipstick!
What do you have on today?
Today I have on a pair of neon green skinny jeans, a gold metallic belt, gold Sequence Fanny Pack, white pink lime Green Nike vandals, blue red purple and grey windbreaker jacket with hoodie, wife beater, 3 rope chains - different sizes, doorknockers earings, 4 finger ring, Japanese pimp watch, tons of bracelets, baby doll pink lipstick, gold glitter on my eyes and my UV sunglasses!!! Dope TOK'N!
What is your favorite fashion item?
NOOOOOO that's sooo hard!!! I'm going to cheat!!!! Well, in order to leave my house i have to have my jewelery and gold sequence Fanny Pack!!! OoOoOWWeeE!

Ashanti: Me and Nelly, We're Good Friends

R&B singer Ashanti, who has been mummed about her rumored relations with rapper Nelly, finally drops a few lines publicly about their companionship.
"Me and Nelly, we're good friends. We kick it – hang out a lot," the 27-year-old told People at Game Five of the 2008 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. "The industry is very hard, so it's good to have fun and lighten it up."
So what about marriage? "Oh no. Noooo! No engagement." Then she added with a wicked smile, "But definitely in the future. Ha! Ha!"
Ashanti recently told Singersroom if she were to be proposed to, she would rather be “surprised,” but smirked and said “but he’s gonna know exactly what I need.”
Ashanti is busy promoting her latest disc, The Declaration, which features producers and collaborators Robin Thicke, Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, L.T. Hutton, and Pharrell Williams.

Beyonce Finally Speaks

It's been almost two months since R&B diva Beyonce and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z tied the knot and the singer is finally willing to confirm her secret nuptials ... kinda. "I don't deny it [the wedding]. I just don't talk about it," the singer said. "We've never talked about us and it's kind of protected our relationship. I think it's kept us out of tabloid drama."
Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on who you ask), the private pair's way of dealing with the public has not stopped the tabloids from having a field day. Rumors continue to swirl that Beyonce is pregnant. The singer has reportedly gained weight, sparking a belly bump watch.

Beyonce Vs Amy Winehouse

R&B diva Beyonce may have to go toe-to-toe with English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse for the opportunity to sing the theme song for the 22nd James Bond flick, 'Quantum of Solace,' due in theaters October 31. "I've done loads of Bond songs. There are loads of good ones I'm really happy with. I don't know what is wrong with them or what the problem is, to be honest. It's there, ready and done, and it's up to them if they want it or not, Winehouse told a newspaper earlier this week. On the other hand, producer Mark Ronson claims the embattled singer was unable to finish recording the track. "We did work on it, but we never finished it," Ronson said. "I don't think it will happen unless by some miracle it gets recorded and someone sings vocals."The film is reportedly looking for a '60s-themed ballad, which the 'Rehab' singer has played around with since her debut. Media outlets are also reporting that former Destiny's Child singer Beyonce is the "firm favorite," considering Winehouse is still in the midst of some drama with reported drug abuse and pending legal issues.

Ne-Yo Sentenced

Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo plead guilty to driving without a license and no contest to a reckless driving charge in an Atlanta court on Monday. The Grammy award-winning singer, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, was sentenced to 24 hours of community service, ordered to perform a free concert for teens, fined $1,000 and required to take a defensive driving course. "They're trying to make me put on that little orange vest and pick up trash. . . . I'm hoping I can take a class or something. I hope we can work it out soon," Ne-Yo said in a recent interview when discussing his arrest and reckless driving charge. Ne-Yo was arrested on February 19 for driving 105 mph in a 55 mph zone. He received a ticket for not having a Georgia license and was later charged with reckless driving.The singer is gearing up to release his third album, 'Year of the Gentleman,' in August.

Ashanti Causes Outrage Over Violent Album Campaign

Ashanti has sparked an outcry over the promotional campaign of her new album, prompting lobby groups and family values campainers to protest out the front of her record company's office in Los Angeles.
The new video for the singer's 'The Way That I Love You', which can be viewed below, shows images of blood splattered walls and a knife dripping with blood, and gives the impression that Ashanti killed her lover by stabbing him to death.
On her website, readers can sign a friend up to 'punk their ass', which will send said friend an email stating, 'Your life may be in danger', with links to a fake news website and a video that claims, "Police are investigating a string of violent attacks and searching for the possible next victim."
Despite a disclaimer at the end of the video saying, "Ashanti and Universal Music Group do not encourage or condone violence of any kind. This is for parody purposes only", protests were staged outside of the record label's office on Tuesday (June 10) by more than two dozen parents and religious leaders, who are concerned about the message the video was sending.
Watch the video for 'The Way That I Love You' below.

Lil' Wayne's Leaked CD

Happy days are here again for the beleaguered music industry...at least for a week. It turns out that everyone who was wondering whether Mariah, Madonna, or Usher would have the biggest blockbuster sales opening of the year had their eyes on the wrong contenders: It's rapper Lil Wayne, who's set to have the most massive first week of any new album this spring, by far. And, contrary to industry wisdom, it seems the album was helped by premature leaks.
How huge will it be? Tha Carter III just came out Tuesday morning, so it's difficult to tell from less than a day's worth of sales, but an exec at Lil Wayne's label estimates the disc will sell between 850,000 and 950,000 by the end of its first week. If their numbers are correct, that would be about double the opening figure for 2008's current record-holder, Mariah Carey's E=MC2, which opened with 443,000 copies. "The accounts were bullish by 10 in the morning," reports Pat Monaco, exec VP of sales for the Universal Motown Republic Group. "The sales the first few hours were exceeding the rate that the Kanye album sold a year ago." (That one ended up selling 957,000 the first week; nothing has come close since.) "Wayne was one of these records that, because it was so highly anticipated, with the leaks and everything, it caused more people to go out at 8 in the morning to buy the CD."

The rapper - who has three children with wife Shantay Taylor Broadus - told the former Destiny’s Child singer to speed up her family plans with new husband Jay-Z.
Snoop said: “I told them to go home and start making babies. They should, that's the next step as far as marriage, having kids and add on to the family, so hopefully that's what they'll do!”
Snoop also revealed his own secret for a happy marriage.
He added to People magazine: “Communication, and being able to fight and get back up - to have misunderstanding and then get some understanding - that’s the secret.”
