Well...what can I say? This competition was drowned in drama, cheating and also good writers. Thank you for everyone that voted.
Unfortunately, Joshua and LYriqueCD both cheated in the competition and both made foul play. Plus the petty arguing was a big turn off! Which means they are both eliminated from the competition. I need people who I can trust to run this blog
Jamba and Kenia had the best writing skills and the most number of votes over Joshua and LYriqueCD. Therefore I will be appointing BOTH Jamba and Kenia to write for the blog.
Well done Jamba and Kenia. Your writing skills start tomorrow!
Be nice people.
Jay-Z and Beyonce holding peeps in the music biz to ransom
MTO says:
MediaTakeOut.com told you yesterday that Chris Brown was supposed to perform at the Michael Jackson tribute. Well he was ... then BET changed its mind.What happened you ask??? Well that depends on who you ask - one of MediaTakeOut.com's insiders told us that the powers that be were scared that Chris' performance would cause some sort of backlash.But then again, another of MediaTakeOut.com's insiders is claiming that it was ALL JAY Z' doing. According to that insider, Jay Z SPECIFICALLY FORBID BET from allowing Breezy to perform. He told them that if they did neither he NOR BEYONCE would have performed.Not sure which version of the story is true ... We'd hate to think that Jigga was that vindictive ...
First Letoya and now Chris Brown. Beyonce and Jay-Z need to sit the fuk down...who really wants to see that ugly old camel performing anyway??? And Beyonce.... let other people shine...so greedy bish.

Kelly cancels Epsom
It is with regret, that due to personal reasons, Kelly Rowland has had to pull out of the Epsom Live! music night at Epsom Downs Racecourse on Thursday 16th July where she was going to perform to racegoers along with The Saturdays and Alesha Dixon.
Kelly Rowland has passed on her apologies to her fans who were planning on attending to enjoy a evening of racing followed by the concert, however she knows that Alesha Dixon and The Saturdays will still put on an incredible show and she is disappointed not to be playing at such a superb venue.
What personal reasons??
Interesting New on MJ O2 Tour
Leona Lewis, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake are among the stars rumoured to be filling Michael Jackson's O2 tour dates.
According to The Sun, tour promoters AEG are planning a benefit gig in honour of Jackson, who died on Thursday.
The 'Man In The Mirror' singer had signed for a series of gigs at the O2 arena in London prior to his death.
Diana Ross, Sir Paul McCartney and Usher have also reportedly been approached for the tribute.
Earlier this week, it was reported that AEG Live could face a £300 million insurance.
This would be a great idea!! I hope they do it.

Beyonce is on Twitter
Here is the official Twitter account for Beyonce. How do I know this? Because Kelly is following it! She has 124,000 already and counting. If only she would just twit something. I am thinking her PR team thinks she is too good for twitter.
Michael Jackson RIP
I follow the rest of the world in the mourning of Michael Jackson. Last night, at 11pm UK Time I heard the news on my radio that MJ had died. I couldn't get back to sleep until 3am..... MJ was a true entertainer and artist. I am literally speechless. On my way to work this morning I saw kids singing MJ songs in the street, people with MJ as their ringtone and every newspaper reporting it. Here are the DC reactions to this sad sad passing:
LeToya Luckett - I am speechless
Beyonce - This is such a tragic loss and a terrible day. The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music. He was magic. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the king of pop! Life is not about how many breaths you take, but about how many moments in life that take your breath away. For anyone who has ever seen, felt, or heard his art, we are all honored to have been alive in this generation to experience the magic of Michael Jackson. I love you Michael.
Kelly Rowland - Michael you left such a legacy on this earth, have touched SO MANY!!! We thank you for such a driving inspiration in music & our lives!! This has got to be one of the saddest days in music history!! Michael Rest In Peace! WE miss you!
I am so sad right now...
Kelly, Angie and Lala get together
Lala is 30th today and was photographed with Angie (Bey's cousin) and Kelly Rowland. This is an interesting sight to behold. Although the relationship between Mathew and Kelly is nothing but down hill it seems Kelly has kept herself still affiliated with the other Knowles. I am glad to see that.
Uh oh....

First Lady & Beyonce still endorsing eachother
The first lady took first tweens Malia and Sasha to the Verizon Center to see one of their favorite singers, bringing along friends from Chicago as well as staffers from the White House, the first lady’s office confirms.
Michelle, Michelle, Michelle......you letting Beyonce be your child's role model????? and not someone like Alicia Keys??? You just fuelling fire to speculation that you are all part of the Illuminate and self promoting one another....again! *rolls eyes*
LeToya must be like - FOOL!
MediaTakeOut.com got EXCLUSIVE pics of rapper Slim Thug's recent run in with the Atlanta police. Apparently him and one of his female friends got caught doing some stuff on the side of the road.
WTF is this fool doing? Poor LeToya...imagine seeing your ex man doing this shit. Looks like Slim just cant help himself...he lost a good one with LeToya
Solange's OP Fall Campaign

Aww bless...this week's diary for Solange and Beyonce must read...do something for charity lol
Proof L'Oreal is Racist - Whitened Bey on Purpose!
Cosmetics giant L'Oreal, which was last year accused of whitening Beyonce Knowles' skin in an ad, has been found guilty of racial discrimination by a French court over its all-white recruitment policy for its shampoo sales teams.
So basically L'Oreal only recruit white people to sell their products which is why Beyonce was whitened to make her look more appealing to the European Market. This is really sickening that in an age where there is a black president, one of the largest comestics company in the world is still doing this shit. Black people should boycott L'Oreal.

Michelle copying Kelly Rowland now

Although I think this is a great move for Michelle, this is a dance track...just like Kelly just did. Why you copying her style? Did Mathew put you up to this bish?
Your voice
Here we are again people and I am asking you what you would like for the site. I would actually like to switch the layout up a little so if any of you are good with graphics then leave your email in the comments below... it would be nice to have a new banner with more relevant pics.

Soulgirl XX
Kelly: I want to look like Mel B
KELLY ROWLAND is looking to spice up her exercise routine - so she can get a six-pack like MELANIE BROWN.The former Destiny's Child singer is desperate to achieve a chiselled body like the former Spice Girl star, after spotting her showing off her impressively toned abs at a pool party. Brown became famous for her fit appearance after a stint in U.S. talent show Dancing With The Stars, and has recently been showing off her curves in risque revue Peep Show at the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort in Las Vegas. And Rowland is eager to follow Brown's exercise plan - but admits she will find it difficult to cut out her favourite foods. She says, "I think Mel B looks so good, I really do. I'm trying to do more crunches so I can almost get a tummy like hers but I like rice and pasta and that's the problem right there."
Hmm... Mel B is a little too toned Kelly..you fine the way you are.
EMAIL: Tina & Mathew Knowles Are Seperated
Email recieved:
Hi Soulgirl
My mother is a friend of Tina Knowles. They often go to the same nail/hair salon together and catch up whenever Tina is in town. Tina told my mother that her and Mathew have been seperated for at least a year now and are living in different homes even though they have kept their main house.
Tina spends all her time running around after Beyonce and Solange and focusing on the clothing line which has kept her busy through the seperation. You won't see them getting divorced anytime soon and they also remain dedicated to supporting both of their daughters. Mathew's narrowmindness and lies have seen Tina turn her back on him and his dealings. She will always love Mathew but she can no longer live in his controlling ways.
Please do not post my name and I love the blog!

LeToya Luckett - RapUp Preview
When your last name is Luckett, luck runs through your blood. Yet despite her namesake and the allure of Las Vegas, LeToya Luckett isn't tempted to blow her cash on blackjack tables or slot machines. "I don't like losing money, hun," the Houston native says with a playful chuckle. A fan of lavish designers like Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Gucci, the former Destiny's Child member, who owns her own clothing boutique, jumps at every opportunity to slip on pricey wares (? ). At the stunning Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, not far from the Strip, the chanteuse takes a spin on the roulette table, sparkles under a Swarovski crystal chandelier, reclines poolside by the clear blue water, basks in the red glow of the Cherry Nightclub and retreats by night to the plus VIP Strip Suite, all while donning such chic threads as a Collette Dinnigan vintage dress, a studded Philipp Plein head-turner and a glamorous ?? sensation. Although LeToya, whose sophomore album Lady Love is a sure-bet, has a bit more self control on the dance floor ("I know when to walk away"), when it comes to high-fashion risks, the lucky lady goes all in.

Jay-Z's baby boy
The fiercely private rapper – who’s worth an estimated $400 million – reportedly has a secret 7-year-old son who he’s amazingly managed to hide from the limelight all this time. The boy apparently bears a striking resemblance to his father and is the result of Jay-Z’s romance with Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott which ended in 2001, before he met Beyoncé.
Jay-Z has gone to great lengths to distance himself from the claims, despite reports that he’s privately admitted paternity. Beyoncé, whom he married in April 2008, is now apparently accepting of the boy and is even said to have gone on holiday with her stepson in the South of France.
Although Jay-Z’s spokesman denied that there was any truth in ‘these ridiculous rumours’, the rebuttal falls short of a denial that the rap star is the boy’s father. Despite approaching Jay-Z’s representatives repeatedly last week, they refused to comment.
Sources say that Shenelle and her son live a quiet life in Trinidad at a $2.5 million home that Jay-Z bought for them after paternity tests revealed a positive match. It’s also thought that Shenelle, 28, brings her son to see Jay-Z in New York, where he’s based, whenever she flies there for modelling assignments.
This isn’t the first time Jay-Z has tried to keep his personal life out of the public eye. Even though he and Beyoncé have been together since September 2002, they kept the relationship under wraps for many months – and it wasn’t until six months after they married last year that they officially confirmed they were man and wife.
Mathew Knowles fights back at club owner
Interesting he had nothing to say about the LeToya issue... hmmm...
Knowles has blasted back at that M2 Ultra Lounge club owner who was threatening to sue Beyonce for not wanting to perform there this weekend as allegedly contracted. The actual contract has made its way to the media, and it looks like the Knowles clan weren’t the liars after all. The club owner was. Check out the contract here.
It specifically states under the Terms that “artist shall not render performances of any kind (musical or otherwise) at the event.” Womp womp Mr. club owner.

News on Destiny's Child Comeback
If you’re wondering when Destiny’s Child would get back together again, you won’t have to wait too long. According to reports, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will reunite as the R&B group “Destiny’s Child”.
However, the comeback will not be by choice. To fulfill their contract with label Columbia Records, the girls will need to make one last album before they can go on their permanently. Neither Columbia nor reps for the trio have officially released a statement on the report.
A new Destiny’s Child album is reported to be due in 2011, but with no confirmation in sight, fans may have to wait a long time for a reunion. Rumors of their reunion swirled not long after they initially split to try solo careers.
Fans have said that this could be a good opportunity for Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland to get some more focus on them individually. Both girls have released album to lukewarm fanfare and have not done as well as Beyonce. In 2009, Rowland split from Columbia and her manager Matthew Knowles, father of Beyonce.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS and KELLY ROWLAND avoided a red carpet clash when they both rocked up to RICHARD BRANSON's pre-Wimbledon party at the same time.
DESTINY'S CHILD singer Kelly said No, No, No to a reunion by refusing to step out of her car on the red carpet until Michelle had finished doing the rounds.

Personally, I think this is alot of crap made up to create some drama.... plus I read on Michelle's twitter that she on her way to hang with Kelly.
Beyonce Kicks Off Tour in NYC
Sounds like Beyonce took Madison Square Garden by storm Sunday. That's where Sasha Fierce kicked off the American leg of her world tour and where she'll perform again Monday night.
Reviewer Glenn Gamboa pronounced: "Not only is she irreplaceable, but now Beyonce may be unstoppable, too."
Jay-Z also took to the stage and wowed the audience...yawn
LeToya Movie News
More details have come out on LeToya's new movie with Ashton Kutcher.
Sure, it’ll probably be predictable and silly and forgettable, but that doesn’t mean Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl’s “Five Killers” can’t also be fun. The film actually has that same vibe that made “The Whole Nine Yards” oddly engaging and fun (but not so much the sequel). Here’s your first look at the movie, starring Kutcher as a killer who retires when he meets and falls in love with Heigl, apparently playing something of a tech nerd. Only in the movies, I suppose.
Spencer Aimes (Ashton Kutcher) is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women. But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl), a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love…and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss.
Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage – that is, until the morning after Spencer’s 30th birthday. That’s when Spencer and Jen learn he’s the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street.
Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives. As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his pain-in-the-ass in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances…and just plain survive.
And you thought suburban life was easy.
Starring Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara , Martin Mull, Casey Wilson, Letoya Luckett, and Ric Reitz. Directed by Robert Luketic (”21″).
