100 “Single Ladies” clad in high heels and black leotards stopped traffic in London’s Piccadilly Circus this morning for a spontaneous rendition of Beyoncé’s No. 1 hit. The flash dance was presented by Trident, who is giving away 13,000 tickets to B’s exclusive one-off gig at the O2 Arena in November.

We can’t wait for the Stanky Legg in Times Square.

LeToya Luckett may not be able to escape the Destiny’s Child tag attached to her name, but she can kick the pestering rumors to the curb.


In the video for her current single, “Not Anymore,” the Houston native stars as a ’60s Motown singer who leaves her no-good man behind. Back in March when the video premiered, many blogs compared her high-fashion gear to threads worn by Beyoncé’s baby sis, Solange.

“I heard [those comparisons] before, but for one, my video was directed by Bryan Barber,” LeToya tells Rap-Up.com. “It was his concept. I can’t do anything but give that credit to him when it comes to the direction of the video.”

As far as the similarities go, LeToya doesn’t fall victim to the hype. “I feel like the media and everyone else are always going to make comparisons, especially when it comes to a sensitive subject like anything that has to do with me and Destiny’s Child or a family member of Destiny’s Child,” the songstress states. “It’s really not that serious. First of all, I’ve got nothing but love for Solange. Every time we see each other we’re cool. I think she is an amazing artist and creative in everything she does. It’s just talk.”

LeToya also revealed that she will be calling on a yet-to-be-named Houston rapper to spit a verse on the “Not Anymore” remix.

Actress Tia Mowry has grown up before our very eyes.

Now 30-years-old, the Gelhausen, Germany-born actress has abandoned the curly locks and floppy hats she donned opposite her twin sister Tamera Mowry while starring on 'Sister, Sister' and now sports a sleek, sexy look on her CW series 'The Game.'
Unlike other child stars, Mowry and her sister were never consumed by the troubles that have plagued many of their counterparts.

The NAACP Image Award and Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award-winning actress believes good parenting is the reason she and her sister weren't tabloid staples and have continued to remain successful in this fickle industry of show business.
Now married and hoping to have kids of her own, Mowry wed actor Cory Hardict ('He's Just Not That Into You'/'Lincoln Heights ') on April 20, 2008 in Santa Barbara, Calif.

During our insightful conversation, Mowry talked about starting a family, spoke about the future of 'The Game' and shared which stage production she'd love to take a stab at.

So many people are upset at the thought that 'The Game' may not be renewed by The CW. How do you feel about the matter?
My husband always tells me, 'Tia, it ain't over until the fat lady sings.' She may be warming up right now. That's when you have to have faith and know that whatever is meant to be will happen, but in the meantime, we have to try and do whatever we can do to keep a good show on the air. I just found out that 'Friday Night Lights' just got picked up. That is a show that has been fighting to stay on the air and I believe that their creator or executive producer or whoever is behind the show is really, really fighting and really fought to keep it on the air and that's what we're doing over here. We're really fighting to keep 'The Game' on the air and we're not going down without a fight. It's frustrating when you've worked for three years on a show and when you know that the show has a lot of potential to last probably about five or six years because of the fan base that we have and the critical acclaim that we've received, it's a show that you would think would stay on the air. Unfortunately, we just don't know right now. We will know once they release the lineup, which is either May 21st or May 23rd. In the meantime, I'm just trying to stay optimistic and I'm trying to get fans to say how much they love the show, write in to www.CWtv.com and let them how much you love the show. Sometimes people don't think that it matters, but it does!

What type of stories do you hear from fans of 'The Game?' Any one story in particular stand out?

I was actually at a car wash and I was walking my dog Chico who just looked at me because I just said his name. I was walking him and then all of a sudden this woman stopped her car and got out. I was like, 'Oh my God, what is going on?' She just said, 'Oh my God, are you from 'The Game?'' I was like, 'Yes.' She goes, 'I have to tell you this story. My husband has just been sent off to and for his care package, he requested me to put DVD's of 'The Game' in his care package. He loves the show, can't live without it and actually I have been told that he sits there and the whole platoon that he's in or his whole company sit there and watch episodes of 'The Game.' That just touched my heart because my mom and dad are both retired from the military and that's why I do this. I do this to make people laugh, to feel, to cry and that's what acting is all about to me. When I feel that I can really make someone forget about what's around them for a minute, which is war and people dying and fear and all of that; for them to be able to get into our show for 30 minutes is mind blowing to me and it makes it all worthwhile to just continue to do what I do.

African-Americans don't seem to be the flavor of the month in Hollywood right now as far as television is concerned. However, on the flip side, you have someone like Shonda Rhimes who produces 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Private Practice' who is having amazing success with her multicultural dramas.


That's something that I love about Shonda Rhimes and the show is that you see so many faces of color. You see Asians, Latinos and African Americans. Not only that, they're real people. You see people that you can relate to on a daily basis and that's what television is all about. It's about sitting back, watching something and either feeling good about it or saying, 'Oh my gosh, that is exactly what I am going through and I can relate to her.' That's what makes you continue to want to watch. I would like to see more of the shows that embody all of the different races, shapes and sizes of people. We need more of that on all networks, CBS, Fox, and NBC. We don't need to just limit ourselves to one network. What I dislike is when we start to segregate ourselves. For example, you just have Spanish stations, which is all Spanish shows or just one network that just shows African American shows. To me, that's not how this world is so why do we need to make television look like that? One thing I loved when I was on television and I was thinking about this the other day, you had 'Family Matters' and that was an African American show and right after that was like 'Boy Meets World' or 'Step by Step,' which was a White show. Now it seems like, why do you have to have a whole lineup of just African Americans or Latinos? That's not what this world is about.

Has it been hard for people to view you as an adult? So many child stars struggle because Hollywood does not want to allow you all to grow up.

At first, it's very hard. Even when you're going on auditions now, after 'The Game' I still run into people that still think I'm the little girl from 'Sister Sister' and I'm like, have you been watching the show? It's always a challenge and a struggle when you start out as a child actor because people tend to label you because that's all they seem to know you as is the girl from 'Sister Sister.' One thing that I do feel blessed about is that I did allow myself to grow up. You didn't see me in lingerie or forcing myself on the public to say I'm an adult now. I'm not on a cover of 'King' Magazine, which I'm not denouncing anybody who has done that, but personally, I allowed myself to grow up. I went to college; I went to for two months and traveled the world. I went to and and I allowed myself to evolve and then I threw myself out there and auditioned again. Some people get it and some people don't. I had to work hard for 'The Game.' I really had to let Mara Brock-Akil [creator of 'The Game'] know that I'm not that little curly haired girl that was on 'Sister Sister' just talking about boys and homework. I'm a woman now and life is all about experiences and when you're an actress, you bring those experiences to life in characters and I'm able to do that. I'm just thankful for Dawn Ostroff, who is President of the CW, Mara and Kelsey Grammar for giving me that opportunity to say I can do it. To me, that's what it's all about. I love a challenge.

You sang the theme song on 'Sister, Sister' with your twin. Would you like to do a project that would allow you to showcase both your acting and singing like a Broadway production or something?


A lot of people don't know that my sister and I did on off-Broadway play before we landed 'Sister Sister.' We were actually doing an off-Broadway play when they told us that the show got picked up. I loved it. I loved being on stage. I've told my agents that I want to do it. It's just finding that right role, but I would definitely love to do Broadway and its great when you see people like Gwyneth Paltrow doing that. That's when you really thrive because it's so intimate when it's right in front of the audience. I would love to do theatre. Playing Roxie in ' Chicago ' would be so much fun because even Ashlee Simpson did that. I would so love to do that. It would be so much fun.

Sitcom stars of yesteryear never made money from their shows being sold and sold again. Things had changed by the time 'Sister, Sister' came on air and I'm interested in knowing do you still benefit now from your show being aired daily in both syndication and on cable?

I think the main thing is that 'Sister Sister' is a phenomenon and it's all over the world. How we're able to benefit from it is as it goes from network to network, the networks actually see our popularity. For example, 'Sister Sister' was extremely popular on Disney. It was beating their original programming and it made Disney realize that we were popular. That creates a franchise with them for 'Twitches' so we did 'Twitches 1' and 'Twitches Too' years after 'Sister Sister' was over. Now, 'Sister Sister' is on ABC Family and is doing exceptionally well on ABC Family. My sister was able to book a show called 'Roommates,' which is on ABC Family now. We're seeing huge benefits from it even on the CW. I have a huge audience with women and that's what CW is geared towards and that's what they're looking for. Of course I have to work hard and bring in whatever my talents are, but it does play a role and it does benefit me in some kind of way.

Because you come from a popular teen franchise, have you ever thought about partnering with your sister and doing what Nick Cannon is doing for Nickelodeon and developing new teen series for television?

My sister and I are working on that now. We are producing a Lifetime movie right now. My sister was also on 'Strong Medicine.' I had actually done an episode of 'Strong Medicine' and they saw the popularity of both of us and they said, 'Let's do a movie together.' We're definitely building a production company right now to show African-American women in a positive light and that we're great role models and can make fun loving, great movies for the family. That's actually my goal if you ask me where do I want to see myself in five or ten years, I would really love to have a family of two kids right then and really have a flourishing and thriving production company that's geared toward to making and creating family movies, television, reality, you name it. If Tyler Perry can do, I can do it too.

You mentioned having two kids. Are you ready to start your family now?

Right now, I really want to have kids. I'm so ready! I love children and not only that, I have my mom and my dad who are like, 'Come on, I want to be alive to see some grandkids.' I think maybe two or three years from now.


There are three kids in your family, right? You, Tamera and Tahj.

I have another brother too, his name is Tavior. He's 14 and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the business. It's almost like you know how you hear about The Osbournes? It's that one child that you're like, 'I didn't know they had another daughter.' Tavior is extremely smart and really, really good at sports. He runs track and plays football. He's kind of into that. I do want to have about three children and that's why my mom and my dad are telling me to get on it now, but it will happen soon when it's time.

Before I let you go, if you could write yourself into any cast on television right now, which shows would you pick to be on?

I would add myself on two shows. One would definitely be 'Grey's Anatomy.' I love that show. I would love to dive into that show. I'm older than what I play and I play like 22 to 25. I could get by a little bit with 28, but to have a young intern come in who is really arrogant and cocky, but uses that as a defense mechanism for her. She thinks she's good, but she has a lot to learn. I think that will be great to show a confident African American woman coming into the field. It would be kind of life 'Melanie,' but times a hundred. To be honest with you, one of my favorite episodes this season was when I got to see Melanie become a doctor. You never saw her do it again and I think the show is really that relationship, but I really wanted to explore that. I really love that side of acting and being something that you're not. I would love to play a doctor because I've always wanted to be a doctor. The other show would be 'True Blood.' I'm obsessed with the show. I've met two of the actors and I don't think they ever want to see me again. I love that show and I would love to play a vampire or something very mischievous, sexy and just all around bad.

Madonna suffered "minor injuries and bruises" Saturday while horseback riding in New York's Hamptons, her publicist has announced.

On Saturday evening, Liz Rosenberg said that the entertainer, 50, had already been released from Southampton Hospital after she had been thrown off a horse that had been startled paparazzi.

At 4:24 p.m. Saturday, says Southampton Town police dispatcher Kathleen Vonatzski, Southampton Town police received a phone call that someone fell off a horse at Scuttlehole Road in Bridgehampton. One ambulance was sent to the scene, where it took Madonna to Southampton Hospital, Vonatzski says.

Rosenberg said the photographers had jumped out of the bushes to snap Madonna, who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island for the weekend. Further medical tests are to be conducted, and doctors will continue to observe Madonna, the rep added.

In 2005, Madonna broke several bones in a horse-riding accident – cracking three ribs and breaking her collarbone and her hand while at Ashcombe, her country estate outside London. The following year, she suffered a hernia and quickly recovered.

Heidi Klum's three kids will soon have a new sib: the supermodel and her husband Seal are expecting a baby in the fall.

Seal, 46, confirmed the news from the stage of his Radio City Music Hall concert Thursday night in New York City.

This latest addition to the Klum clan – Leni, 4 (whose dad is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore), Henry Günther, 3, and Johan Riley, 2 – shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Klum, 35, herself has hinted that she might still want more kids. "So many people say, 'I am so done.' That hasn't come out of my mouth, and it hasn't come out of Seal's mouth either," she told Redbook magazine last July. "I feel like we still have one coming."

The supermodel, who was spotted shopping for toys at FAO Schwarz in New York City Wednesday, told the magazine her life was "kind of perfect" but insisted, "It's not like I'm this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home," she says. "When we're home, we're cooking and doing things with the kids, driving them to school. We do the things that everyone has to do."

Jennifer Hudson brought out two special guests during her tour stop in Atlanta on Thursday. She was joined by fellow “American Idol” alum Fantasia for “I’m His Only Woman,” above, while the original “Dreamgirl” Jennifer Holliday dueted with her on a rousing rendition of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” below.

The final chapter in the Danity Kane saga came to an end on Thursday.


On part one of the season finale of MTV’s “Making the Band 4,” Diddy announced that he was officially dismantling the platinum girl group once and for all. Aundrea Fimbres and Dawn Richard were the only two members present to hear the news. The Bad Boy CEO released Aundrea, Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, and Shannon Bex from their contracts, leaving Dawn as the only remaining member signed to the label.

“You’re a great person, you’re a great girl, but if I did another group, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing a group with you,” the music impresario told Aundrea. “I’ve given a lot of thought and I’m gonna let you out your contract too.”

While Aundrea was sent her walking papers, Dawn was spared. “As far as for you Dawn, I still want to make music with you, I still want you to be signed to the label, and if I decide to put back together Danity Kane, then you’ll be the only member that’d still be there.”

“This isn’t a decision I wanted to make,” he told the girls. “To be honest, ya’ll girls made this decision for me.”

Aundrea was filled with emotion as she shared her parting words. “We worked really, really hard to be where we are and for it to end the way that it did, sucks,” she said. “But I can’t be mad. I’ve done the things that I came here to do.”

The 25-year-old California native emotionally reflected on her memories in the chart-topping group. “I’m connected to them for the rest of my life because of something we accomplished together. Danity Kane will always be D, Aubrey, Shannon, Dawn, and me.”

Is this Danity Kane’s last hurrah or will they reunite on part two of the live season finale Next Thursday?

Snoop Dogg will cement his legendary status in the entertainment industry when his first wax figure is unveiled next week.


Madame Tussauds will reveal the rapper’s wax sculpture at The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas on Monday. Snoop will be on hand for the ceremony, along with 50 members of his Pomona Steelers football team.

The star of E!’s “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood” is one of only three rappers to be featured in the Madame Tussauds’ worldwide collection. The other two are Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

For the April 20 unveiling, the entertainer has donated his own clothes—including a baseball jacket from his clothing line—to outfit the life-size likeness handcrafted in the attraction’s London studios at a cost of $300,000.

Fantasia Barrino must have loved being on reality TV. The former American Idol star will be back in the game come early 2010 – starring in a new unscripted series on VH1.

"Fantasia has one of the most fascinating stories in show business, from her tough upbringing to her meteoric rise on the national scene thanks to American Idol,'" Jeff Olde, executive vp original programming at VH1, tells the Hollywood Reporter.

"Her challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world. So many people wanted to work with her on this, but Fantasia is now part of the VH1 family, and we're so happy to have her."

The nine-time Grammy nominee, who has also been on Broadway and played herself in the Lifetime movie version of her autobiography Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, will chronicle her life as a recording artist and young single mother on the series.

"Fantasia's life has been an open book, but at 24 years old, her story has just begun," executive producer Randy Barbato said, according to the Reporter. "We look forward to smashing expectations and revealing the fresh, funny and unexpected side of this one-of-a-kind country girl and superstar."

Ryan Seacrest may be one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood but last week he took time out from his gig as a host of On Air with Ryan Seacrest for a romantic jaunt to Paris with L.A. bartender Jasmine Waltz.

Seacrest, 34, met Waltz during a night out at Guy's, a West Hollywood lounge. Waltz, who has previously worked at other L.A. hotspots including Les Deux and Italian restaurant Bella, is an aspiring actress, a source tells PEOPLE.

"They've been together for a few months now," says the source.

After wrapping his American Idol duties last week, Seacrest whisked Waltz off to Paris for a weekend where the couple displayed a lot of PDA.

The brief respite served as a prelude to a busy spring: Seacrest's radio show, which garners a weekly international audience of 20 million across 130 stations, will expand to a fourth hour of programming on May 4.

In December, Seacrest's mother Connie told momlogic.com she wished her son, the producer of the NBC reality show Momma's Boys, would have more time to date. "That would be wonderful for him," she said, "and we'd stand a better chance for him to have a relationship."

Seacrest has been linked previously to singer Sophie Monk, Amazing Race star Shana Wall, and actress Teri Hatcher.

She may be one of music’s biggest fashion risk-takers, but when it comes to sex, Solange Knowles is all about playing it safe. The singer has joined forces with MTV and beauty brand The Body Shop to spread the word about HIV/AIDS prevention, kicking off her new gig by turning out in N.Y.C. yesterday to promote the launch of yestosafesex.com. The interactive MTV-designed website encourages visitors to pledge their dedication to safer sex practices — and lets them enter to win gift bags stuffed with goodies from The Body Shop and MTV. Want another way to support the cause? The Body Shop is making it easy to put your money where your mouth is, with their new Yes, Yes, Yes! lip butter. Approximately $5 of the $8 purchase price will be donated to the Staying Alive Foundation to help raise world-wide awareness about preventing HIV and AIDS.

According to our friends over at Singers Room, Brandy will be returning to the television circuit this year:
R&B singer and former Moesha star Brandy has jumped on board ABC's forthcoming series "This Little Piggy" !

Centered around a family man who's forced to take in his younger brother and sister when times get tough, "This Little Piggy" will feature Brandy as the "high maintenance wife" of the younger brother played by Jeff Davis.

Planned for pilot presentation during the 2009-2010 season, "This Little Piggy" comes from writers Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley (Mad TV).

"Piggy" marks Brandy's first scripted television role since an appearance on the UPN show "One On One".

Brandy made her television debut on the 1993-1994 series "Thea" as Danesha Turrell and went on to achieve her greatest television success with 'Moesha'.

DJ Envy interviewed Rick Ross on SIRIUS XM Radio to discuss his beef with 50 Cent and G-Unit (“I’mma disrespect them monkeys forever”), working with Ja Rule on the “Mafia Music (Remix),” and his thoughts on Eminem’s “We Made You” video (“His swag ain’t the same”). DJ Khaled and Akon also call in.

Listen to the full interview below.

Fans of Amerie can finally stop holding their breath. The R&B songstress confirmed the name of her fourth studio album, Break Ups to Make Ups, today via her Twitter page. The project, set for release in June/July, is her first with Island Def Jam.


“As an artist, what I want more than anything is for you to feel where I’m coming from, for you to FEEL,” Amerie wrote in a tweet. “I don’t know how to put it any other way.”

The “1 Thing” hitmaker is currently in the studio recording with producer Warryn “Baby Dubb” Campbell, who has crafted hits for R&B singer Musiq Soulchild and gospel group Mary Mary.

Amerie was formerly signed to Columbia Records. Her previous album, 2007’s Because I Love It, received a limited release.

Vocal power-houses EnVogue are still going strong, most recently performing at the Trumpet Awards. The ladies gave medley of their biggest hits ‘Hold On’, ‘My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)’ and ‘Don’t Let Go(Love)’. While they've had better showings, I enjoyed this.
