Kelly Rowland has caught the Breezy bug. The “Motivation” singer recently revealed her favorite song of the moment, naming Chris Brown’s “Beautiful People” as the hottest jam out right now.
“The song I have on repeat right now would probably have to be Chris Brown’s ‘Beautiful People.’ It’s such an amazing record,” she told ELLE TV of the F.A.M.E. single. “As soon as I hear it, I can’t stop moving. And I smile so big and it’s great when music makes you do that.”
The songstress, who is currently prepping the release of her untitled third album, also spoke on how good it feels to experiment with her sound. “I, of course, come from an urban feeling since day one with Destiny’s Child, but now, I’ve kind of opened up the sound a little bit and it has more tempo to it from dance. It feels great,” she said.
Additionally, she dished on her favorite concert experience, getting starstruck while meeting Whitney Houston, her sense of style, and more.

Don’t expect another Black Eyed Peas album anytime soon. Resident Pea Fergie revealed that following the completion of their summer tour, the group will take a break from recording and be “more selective” about the ventures and performances they do.
Fergie Ferg couldn’t help but share her excitement about her upcoming downtime. “I am so excited to take a break. The guys know that I’ve been waiting and it’s time and it’s exciting,” she told the AP. “We’ve had such a great run together and we’re still touring this year, just less, more selective and we’re not working [on an album]. Unless they’re doing one without me.”
And while fans might expect her to put out a follow-up to 2006’s The Dutchess, she’s going to focus more of her time on philanthropic endeavors. “I’m gonna get more into my charities. Charity work. I’m excited to do more of that. Give back, make it not so much about me, me, me, me, me,” she continued. “And having some free time. I have a football team that I’m a limited owner of, the Miami Dolphins, and I want to go to a game.”
Additionally, she’s setting her sights on her Fergie Footwear shoe line, which debuted last week. “Seeing the line progress has been wonderful for me because I get to see how things get tweaked. I get to see the different use of materials and these are all things that I’m learning,” she explained. “You know, I wasn’t trying to come into this and say I’m Christian Louboutin. You know this is a venture for me to express my creativity and to learn.”

Lady Gaga (Getty Images)America Idol producers clearly aren't friendly with the Pope. In a move that's sure to enrage many Catholics across the globe, the FOX show plans on airing the debut of Lady Gaga's hotly controversial "Judas" music video the week of May 2nd. Gaga's video hasn't even been released yet, but it's already generating quite the buzz, as Catholic groups and the Church itself have come out against her latest work. American Idol
nevertheless will air the video, which is certain to draw in viewers of all kinds, from those who love the wild blonde pop star to those who just want to see what all the fuss is about.
As for the Lady herself, she hasn't let any of the criticism get to her. In fact, she took to Twitter on Easter Sunday to remind her fans of the song's real value: "JUDAS is about forgiveness and perseverance through struggle," she tweeted. And who knows more about struggle and perseverance than a multi-million dollar pop star?

will.i.am's Relationship Dealbreakers: Wet Sinks and Dry Toilet Paper
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 4:07 AM
will.i.am (PCN)Black Eyed Peas frontman and professional beatmaker will.i.am shows his true colors in a new interview with Elle, and the colors are, uh...kind of out there. The East L.A. native is in a committed relationship he refuses to discuss, but he did share his unique perspective on what makes a woman dateable. For one, she'd better not have prophylactics in her home: "If she had condoms in her house, that would just f****n’ throw me off. That’s just tacky."
So, condoms are out, as are wet sinks. But baby wipes are a must: "You don’t wipe the sink after you use it? Dry it off! And if she’s got only dry toilet paper and no baby wipes next to the toilet. You ain’t got no baby wipes?"
The man knows what's important to him!
One thing he doesn't consider tacky, apparently, is oversharing. He also revealed that he staved off any urge to self-pleasure until the ripe age of 19. Things everyone wants to know, right?

Jennifer Aniston To Splash Out $5.9 Million on an NYC Apartment?
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 4:02 AM
Jennifer's Beverly Hills Home via Forbes.com Jennifer Aniston, who is a Manhattanite by heart, is abandoning her dream Beverly Hills home (with a modest price tag of $42 million), for a New York City pad. And the new place is only gonna cost her $5.9 mil -- almost exactly 1/7th the cost! She's apparently over living in Tinseltown, and is trading in her sprawling zen-themed "Ohana" (Hawaiian for "extended family") estate, that she designed herself, for a luxurious Manhattan penthouse.
It'll be quite a downscale. Her 10,000 square foot Beverly Hills home boasts five bedrooms, seven and a half baths, a wet bar, a multimillion dollar gym, a staff room. Her new 1,200 square foot penthouse will have just one bedroom and bathroom. But this is NYC, where anything over 500 feet is lavish. Oh, and then there's the 800 square foot terrace with panoramic views of the city.
Alright, sold. Like, we're sold...not the house. She's recently said about the trans-continental move: "I've been looking and looking and looking. I grew up here (New York City). I miss it. There is nothing like being in the city that is just the city of Everyman. It's all walks of life - I love that!"

Mariah Carey's imminently forthcoming twins may not have arrived in time for Easter, but she celebrated with them all the same.
On Sunday, the singer, 42, Tweeted a picture of her enormous belly, adorned with a pastel blue Easter egg with one red heart and one blue, in dedication to her twins with Nick Cannon.
The expectant mom, who's clearly a fan of belly art – as evidenced by her having embellished her belly with a painted butterfly last month – Tweeted on Sunday: "HAPPY EASTER! Ummm. READY!!!!! Done and done."
Well, almost done. The twins are due to arrive early next month.

What’s round and cute and shiny all over? Jake Gyllenhaal‘s head! The actor, who usually flaunts quite a head of hair, was recently spotted on the Los Angeles set of his new film, End of Watch, with a totally shaved head. His rep tells DIDNTINVITEME that he did indeed lose his locks for the role, in which he and The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Michael Peña play devoted cops. This isn’t the first time Gyllenhaal has shaved his head for a film — he did the same for 2005′s Jarhead — but considering we saw him earlier this month with all of his hair (not to mention a full mustache and beard), it certainly was a quick change. We think the actor looks cute no matter what, but we want to know what you think.

Beyoncé Knowles Goes Sightseeing in Towering Platform Pumps
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 3:56 AM
Beyonce and Jay-ZEveryone knows Beyoncé Knowles has one of the most enviable figures in the entertainment world. But sometimes, it's hard not to wonder what her feet look like.Ms. Knowles gets followed by photographers everywhere she goes, so of course she pulls out all the stops every time she leaves her home or hotel. The pop megastar is currently in Paris, where she was spotted taking a stroll with hubby Jay-Z in a pair of Christian Louboutin Lady Daf Platform Mary Janes. The singer indulged in an ice cream cone with an extra 6 inches of height on her stems.
This is, of course, no big thing for someone like Beyoncé, who has probably trained her legs to withstand all kinds of lady torture. We admire her dedication, even if it looks extremely painful!

50 Cent got hands on with Nicole Scherzinger on set of the video for “Right There,” the lead single from her U.S. debut Killer Love. Directed by Paul Hunter, the clip sees the labelmates getting down to the upbeat tune in the “concrete urban paradise” of downtown Los Angeles, with the former Pussycat Doll sharing her love for her co-star in between takes.
“50 has been a friend of mine. He did his thing on the song. I thought I was cool until 50 showed up and he was a little cooler,” laughed Nicole. “He brought the energy and the spirit. He’s 50 for a reason. He’s the real deal. So just being around him ups the game and it was a lot of fun.”

0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 3:04 AM
Mariah Carey has a couple of new roles coming to her this year: She'll become a mom (of twins!) soon and will have some sort of role on TV talent show The X Factor, says the show's creator Simon Cowell.
Simon Cowell (Pacific Coast News)In a radio interview, Mr. Cowell said: “I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows. I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with.”
Simon is excited about having Mariah involved with The X Factor because he is such a big fan of her music. He added: “She'll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits."
As for the judging panel, only one person has been officially named: music bigwig LA Reid. Otherwise, rumors have gone around about stars like Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger,Jessica Simpson and Katy Perry taking seats with him.
Rihanna turned down an offer because she's too busy with her own music. She said: "It's something that I would have loved to do, actually. But our schedule doesn't allow it and it's a demanding schedule to be on that show. You have to be around months at a time, which is impossible for me."
