Mr Dolce and Mr Gabbana many have had to make some last minute alterations to Beyonce Knowles’ Fall 2011 look before her performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight.

She maybe pregnant, but she’s not slowing down just yet.

The singer put in an energetic performance on stage at the Nokia Theatre LA Live, much to the delight of her fans.


A masculine tuxedo look included a purple sequin jacket with wide black lapels which was teamed with a white shirt with a fitted black band and black loose-fitting pants.

The petite actress chose an intricate black Julien MacDonald Fall 2011 dress.

Her gothic look features a high lace neckline, a short skirt in the front and an overlay in the back with a longer train.

Selena brightened up her dark ensemble by adding gold accessories, including Brian Atwood pumps, a Judith Leiber metallic box clutch, Ofira gold drop earrings with black stones and a gorgeous black and gold Ofira cuff.

She finished her look by pulling her hair back into a casual bun and wearing pink lip-gloss.

I love Selena’s accessories but think her dress is a little too sophisticated for the MTV VMA Awards.

I wish she had opted for something brighter, younger and more fun.

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards wouldn’t be the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards without at least one Falguni & Shane Peacock dress on the red carpet.

I think it’s the law as far as this event is concerned.

Kelly Rowland donned this gorgeous creation from the designers Fall 2011 collection on the red carpet tonight.

So far there have been a lot of black looks, but I do love this one.

The gold embroidered dress with a feathered skirt and leather harness-style detail wrapped around her waist is the perfect sexy, confident look I would expect from Kelly.

Her look would’ve been significantly better if Kelly had opted for a better hairstyle (when will she retire that awful wig?)

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Spikes peep-toes and a black clutch completed her look.

The mother-to-be was beaming with joy and pride wearing a Lanvin Fall 2011 gown.

I love the bright orange colour of her one-shoulder silk crepe cut-away gown. It was the only look I liked at this lackluster event.

Her big announcement was matched by some amazing big bold Lorraine Schwartz jewels which included an emerald ring which provided a nice contrasting to her bold hue of her gown and huge silver earrings.

A side sweeping ponytail completed her look.

Maternity watch will be very interesting.
The singer picked a long-sleeved printed Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2011 gown.

I instantly disliked her blue gown with black detailing, as it feels too all over the place with a leopard print on the top half and floral print on the bottom.

Although her dress is backless, it’s still an aging look for Miley which wasn’t helped with her diamond Lorraine Schwartz choker.

The rest of her jewelry included drop earrings and a huge statement ring.

She finished her look with a pulled back up-do and smoky eye shadow.


Zoe Saldana wore a Barbara Bui Fall 2011 LBD.

Her tweed mini dress was embellished with gold and silver military-style details and leather panels.

Judging by the runway this wasn’t supposed to be a top, but Zoe uses the tunic to showcase her slender legs.

Zoe accessorized her mini with Barbara Bui snake-skin heels, a gold cuff and a black clutch.

A chic updo and smoky eyes completed her look.

Kelly Rowland is already motivated to make another album. Following the release of this summer’s Here I Am, Rico Love tells that the R&B singer is plotting a return to the studio to prep her next project.


“I’m starting Kelly’s new album soon,” reveals Love, who penned the smash “Motivation” and several other cuts off Rowland’s third album. “While she’s on tour, I’m gonna be writing records for her new album. We can kinda roll that out and drop her new single in late spring. Excited about that.”

While Love readies new material for the singer, she will be traveling the country with Chris Brown on “The F.A.M.E.” tour starting in September and appearing as a judge on Britain’s “X Factor.”

The hitmaker, who’s recently been in the studio with Mary J. Blige, Melanie Fiona, and Usher, wants to continue developing an R&B sound with Rowland. “I believe in R&B and I believe that if we make new age records and don’t make dated records and keep it classic, I think we’ll be fine.”

He hopes to achieve the same success as “Motivation,” which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “It feels like a long time coming,” says Love. “I started her album two-and-a-half years ago, so to be able to get here and see as much success as we’ve seen on this record and album so far is amazing. You put in hard work and it pays off. It sounds cliché, but it’s always good to have that success, especially when people doubted it.”

Kelly Rowland styled on the red carpet at the “X-Factor” press conference at O2 Arena in London. She wore a sexy green and black wave print dress from the Versace Fall 2011 Collection paired with black wedge ankle boots. What do you think of her look?

The boy is getting out of detention and going on the road — Chris Brown has unveiled the dates for his 28-date trek across North America. We can only imagine how much fun it will be, now that T-Pain and Tyga will join Kelly Rowland as Breezy’s tour openers.

Kelly Rowland put on her cap and gown and marched down to Union Square in New York City to help motivate students during the Boys & Girls Club back-to-school season kick-off event. Earlier in the day, the 30-year-old singer appeared on the “Today” show to speak about her involvement with the organization, her new album Here I Am, and deal with Sean John.

Kelly shared that she was able to carve out her own niche with her latest solo project, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. “For this album, I didn’t want to put myself in a box,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. “I just really felt on this record, it was a defining moment for me in the studio.”

In other exciting news, the Destiny’s Child alum has been named spokeswoman for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ new female fragrance Sean John Empress. “It just really celebrates a woman being unique and powerful and beautiful in her own right, and celebrating all our idiosyncrasies,” she explained.

Kelly Rowland gave plenty of "Motivation" on Friday's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Backed by @kreashaun @hyp3_franco @dluckie and @valentinenorton The "RowlDogs" have a lot to "Bark" about! The next stop on Ms. Kelly's promo schedule is Robin Thicke's One Night Stand concert in Atlanta at the Fox Theater tomorrow.  This is Ms. Rowland's MOMENT!!!!!!!

We’re sure you’ve kept busy this week enjoying Kelly Rowland’s new album Here I Am — as well as the VIBE vixen’s gorgeous deep blue cover art. We’ve got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the commanding singer from the downtown Miami set of her album’s photo shoot with photographer Derek Blanks. Jump below to watch Ms. Kelly and and crew as they make hard work look way easy.



Kelly Rowland — Here I Am Photo Shoot (Behind The Scenes)



Kelendria’s fab makeup is thanks to Latasha Wright, and the pop star’s fierce hair is the work of stylist Kim Kimble.

If you haven’t already, you can get your hands of the “Motivation” songbird’s new LP here.

Every thing’s just coming up Kelly Rowland this week. The sultry Here I Am siren has landed herself on yet another cover, this time for Fearless magazine’s summer issue. For the “Lay It On Me” songstress’ shoot, the former Destiny’s Child member lived up to the ladymag’s “Fun Fly Fabulous” motto with her ferocious ensemble. Is it a one piece outfit or simply bathing suit not conducive to swimming? We can’t tell, but the motivated singer looks sexy as heck in it.

Kelly Rowland is knee-deep in her blue period, as the Here I Am siren strikes a pose on her “Lay It On Me” single cover. Rowland might be shaded in some cool indigo tones, but she’s not feeling all that blue about producer Jeff Bhasker’s slam of her single “Motivation”: “There’s no reason for me to say anything negative,” she said while appearing on BET. “‘Cause I won’t tell you the thought that is really in my head. I’ll just kill ‘em with kindness.”

Kelly Rowland is the latest artist to take it off in order to take on VIBE magazine’s 2011 shirtless theme. For the music mag’s annual Juicy Issue, the “Lay It On Me” songstress posed in gorgeous silver earrings and little else. The commanding singer looks freaking fabulous, but do you the Bag Of Bones star brings the sexy like Rick Ross? Sound off below. And for a sneak peek at the Here I Am diva’s August/September spread including Ms. Kelly’s advice on sex shops head here.

It’s Kelly Rowland Day round these parts, everybody! Here I Am is officially out, as is her “Lay It On Me” single art and Vibe cover, and now we get the news that Ms. Rowland will be hitting the road with Chris Brown on the singer’s upcoming US tour starting this September. The diamond-toothed R&B star tweeted on Saturday, “This Tour is about to be crazzzyyy! Not releasing the dates yet or the other acts. Don’t wanna count my eggs before they hatch!” Go ahead and count your eggs, Chris, and at least one chicken.

Although her Destiny’s Child-hood pal Beyonce is enjoying some time in the spotlight with her recent album release 4, there’s a lot of buzz around Kelly Rowland right now, too. The lively X Factor UK judge is having a moment thanks to her sizzling single “Motivation,” and now she’s following it up with the sexy jam “Lay It On Me” — an upbeat hip hop track featuring Big Sean that Cee Lo is sure to love. We already previewed an unfinished demo version last month. Now hear the finished version of the second single from Kelly’s upcoming LP Here I Am below.

Question: does Cee Lo have a thing for Kelly Rowland? Better question: who doesn’t? While we can certainly appreciate any man being drawn to the comely “Motivation” songbird, we have to wonder if the Voice coach didn’t take his hankering a bit too far on a recent segment of Fuse’s Talking To Strangers (already kind of a spooky name for an interview show, right?). In just one minute, the “Bright Lights, Bigger City” singer manages to tell the dance diva that he’s been “watching” her, knows she’s a size 2, and that “it would be a crime of passion.” (The “it” is left up to our imaginations.) Watch below.

While we’re sure the not-so-Loud performer is just playing up the creepiness for the cameras and it’s all in good fun, we’re still loving Kelly’s freaked-out reactions, like “Yeeeeah, I do…” in response to the size 2 comment, and “Lord, have mercy!” in regards to the crime of passion. If you thought his segment with Keri Hilson got a bit steamy, it’s got nothing on the tension here.

This marks the first time we’ve ever had to pause and wonder if there’s more to Cee Lo’s “Lady Killer” moniker than meets the eye…

Kelly Rowland got some "Motivation" from Lil Wayne for the lead single off her album Here I Am, out on July 26. The album is a mix of her R&B roots and her more recent dance-queen persona.  Check out what the beauty had to say below.

As we wait with baited breath for the release of Kelly Rowland’s Here I Am, at least the Monarch cover girl’s track listing has surfaced to hold us over until July 26. Those collaborating with the phenomenal BET Awards performer on the LP include Lil Wayne, Big Sean and dilemma-inducing rapper Nelly. Head below to feast your eyes on the Maxim vixen’s official list of songs (on both the standard and deluxe editions) in full. Hopefully it will give you the motivation you need to hang in there until the album’s mid-summer debut.

Standard Edition:

1. “I’m Dat Chick”
2. “Work It Man” feat. Lil Playy
3. “Motivation” feat. Lil Wayne
4. “Lay It on Me” feat. Big Sean
5. “Feelin’ Me Right Now”
6. “Turn It Up”
7. “All of the Night” feat. Rico Love
8. “Keep It Between Us”
9. “Commander”
10. “Down for Whatever”

Deluxe Edition:

11. “Heaven & Earth”
12. “Each Other”
13. “Motivation (Rebel Rock Remix)” feat. Lil Wayne
14. “Commander (Urban Remix)” feat. Nelly

What track are you hoping will make it to #1?

Kelly Rowland is feeling frisky on “Lay It on Me,” a collaboration with Big Sean reportedly from her new album Here I Am, dropping July 26. On the piano-driven Hit-Boy production, Ms. Kelly commands, “Lay it on me, put it down on me/ Put your hands on my body.” The G.O.O.D. Music rapper drops a freshly recorded verse: “Call my d*ck curiosity ’cause it killed the cat/ And satisfaction brought it back.” Gets your hands all over the sexy track.

Everyone from Da Brat to R. Kelly has remixed Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation.” Now comes the official remix featuring Busta Rhymes, Trey Songz, and Fabolous. Bussa Buss takes it to the bedroom with a rapid-fire verse (“Lay you down and quickly taste your cream filling”), Trey coos sweet nothings in a falsetto (“Got your heels in the air”), and Loso shuts his mouth in Kelly’s presence. This one will definitely make mama proud.

Kelly Rowland celebrated Memorial Day weekend by soaking up the sun in Miami. The “Motivation” singer, whose Lil Wayne-assisted single shot to No. 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, flaunted her beach bod in a purple bikini on the sandy shores. She has been keeping in shape thanks to celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins’ Bikini Bootcamp Challenge.

U.K. fans will be seeing a lot more of the Destiny’s Child diva, who was recently announced as one of the new judges of Britain’s “X Factor.” “I am so excited to join ‘The X Factor’ U.K. and be able to spend time in one of my favorite places in the world,” said Kelly in a statement. “The music coming out of the U.K. right now is incredible with artists like Adele, Jessie J, and James Blake, so I’m confident this season of ‘The X Factor’ will give me an opportunity to hear a few diamonds in the rough.”

The judges panel will convene in Birmingham, England, on June 1 for the first audition, continuing to Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff, London, and Liverpool.
