Beyonce Performs On Jimmy Fallon (vid)


Last night Beyonce performed, Best Thing I Never Had live on Jimmy Fallon. She looked beautiful in an all white ensemble. I like to see Bey in this element.. just her and a mic.

Rihanna In Official Battleship Trailer

s/o RihannaDaily.com for photos

Rihanna has a role in the new Battleship movie. Yes, the infamous board game has become a blockbuster film. It sorta rings Transformers a bit, and Im not sure that the trailer is very effective, but Rihanna's in it & for that it will be watched lol. S/o to RihannaNavy.

You'd think that with her being such a mega star, they'd give her a little more shine in the trailer, but they dont. You'll see glimpses of her once theyre in the water lasting for about.02 secs each. Maybe they didnt think the acting world would take them seriously if they did.. Not sure, but I hear she actually does have a pretty relevant role in the film, so its cool I guess. Check it out after the jump.

KayKi Speaks with Verse Simmonds!


I had the pleasure the other day of meeting up with Verse Simmonds an epic songwriter/singer on Akon's Konvict Muzik label. Among Konvict's latest acquisitions, Verse is what they like to call "something for the ladies". His smooth vocals, boy next door sexy, and bachelor attitude have all the makings of a true ladies man. His hit song, "Boo Thang" featuring Kelly Rowland is creating all sorts of havick as well as encouraging the making of all sorts of babies as well Im sure.

When I entered the room, I really didnt know what to expect. Considering all of the hype around an artist, you never really know these days where their head is. With all of the great things Id heard about him.. I figured he could either been full of himself or surprisingly humble..Check out my exclusive interview below.. thanks again Verse! Follow him on twitter @VerseSimmonds

KayKi-Hey! Thanks for taking the time to chat with me for a sec!

Verse-no prob thank you

KayKi-Ok.. so can you tell us a little bit about where youre from? That kinda sets the tone for you as an artist I think.

Verse-Well I was born in Puerto Rico...I was raised in St Thomas. I kinda been moving all around chasing this dream & now Im here in Atl, so Ive been all over. Its influenced me as an artist.

Amy Winehouse Pioneer of British Soul Singers' US Takeover & last performances


While we're mourning the death of Amy and mostly focusing mostly on her struggle with drug addiction. I wanted to post a live performance of her and share with you guys what I just realized last night. In recent years we've had this influx of female singers from Europe coming over here & smashing the charts. Most recently Adele. Amy was the pioneer of this US love for this type of music. Not sure if people noted that while she was alive, but it just struck me last night.. wow...Check it out after the jump!

This 5 yr old Haitian Girl is smarter than you


Little Mabou Loiseau is stunting on most of us. She speaks 7 different languages (yea, Umm.. how many do you speak? Right.) lol , plays different instruments & has the personality of a super star already! Her parents spend $1,500 a week to keep her this smart. I think she's gearing up to be something extraordinary. My only concern with these types of stories is whether she has any time to be a baby..? She spends seven hours a day in classes and only gets Sundays off. Do you think its too much?

Kelly Obsourne among other celebs mourn her bff Amy Winehouse's death



If you havent yet heard, soul singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment today. I dont know whats more sad,  the knowledge of how hard this life was for her, or the idea that she left it in a very sad & lonely place. Amy rose to international fame with the release of her hit, Rehab. Ironically, Amy's talented voice was often overlooked in the news by her struggles with drug & alcohol abuse. As of yet, authorities have not released a cause of death as fans wait patiently to know just how Amy died at only 27 yrs. old.

Some celebs hit their twitter pages to share their condolensces., among them her bff Kelly Osbourne, Rihanna, Usher, Missy Elliot, Monica, & many more. Kelly Osbourne is naturally taking this hard. Her tweets along with others after the jump. My prayers go up for her friends, fam, & fans at this time.

Casey Anthony Released from Jail


Just minutes after midnight this morning Casey Anthony who was just acquitted of murdering her daughter Caylee Anthony just days ago, was released in FL.  According to People, an angry crowd had formed outside of the jail of protesters who yelled slurs at her as she walked to an SUV to freedom. A photog hired by the jail to photograph her release stated that she was seen smiling as she exited. ........... 

The public has voiced its disdain for the verdict in the case of little Caylee's murder. Casey is facing defamation charges stemming from the case, but was not found guilty in the involvement of her daughters death, though she knew she was dead/missing for 31 days before reporting it. Hopefully she has some protection..she's going to need it.

Lil Wayne Releases Sorry 4 the Wait



Woke up this morning with great news for Wayne fans around the world. Yet another highly anticipated mixtape in the career of Weezy F. Baby dropped today. Sorry 4 the Wait -as titled in an effort to apologize for his chronic pushing back of Carter IV is a 12 tracked download. He covered everything from Drake's, "Marvin's Room" (who hasnt?) to Gunplay's "Rollin". He has a few features from YM as expected, and the occasional sound of the lighter flick which has become his staple. 

 From the go you can tell that he's a great rapper. His delivery is instinctive. The lyrics, and even melodies pour out of him like he needs relief from them. The mixtape stays at that high energy level all the way through.. literally.Thats one of the few things I dug about it.

 Around the same time SB, her boo, I mean, bodyguard, I mean best friend tweeted that he was pool side enjoying life. So, this is where the excitement comes in. Everyone assumes that the unidentified male whom Nicki did not wish to press charges against was SB.

Lianne La Havas: Age


About 2 months ago, I was on youtube reading my niece & nephews comments & decided that I wanted to hear some Jill Scott live. So I search for Jill Scott's infamous, "Long Walk". What I found was her original video & a few live presentations as well. Amongst them I also saw a video of a chic in a club covering "Long Walk". Due to my past experiences on youtube I figured she'd either be really good, or really bad.. and either way Id be entertained.

NOT GUILTY: Casey Anthony acquitted of murder charges



Casey Anthony and attorneys react to "Not guilty" verdict.

In case you missed the most shocking acquittal since the OJ Simpson trial, 25-year-old Casey Anthony dodged a major bullet on first-degree murder, manslaughter and child abuse charges brought on by the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
The "Not guilty" verdicts sent the nation and social media networks into a frenzy Tuesday afternoon after a jury deliberated for more than 10 hours over two days in the Orlando case. While she does not face the death penalty, she was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators. Casey Anthony will be sentenced Thursday and could receive up to a year in jail on each count. But since she served pre-trial detention since 2008, she may only serve several months.
