CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT ....

Forgive me if this appears like another Rihanna post. Well, the blog has been seeing a lot of Rihanna today but I can't help that. And she's been seen quite a lot lately. But the chick is just relevant right now and going places, so um, brace yourselves. Earlier today, Rihanna put in an Instore Appearance at H&M in New York City, January 31:



REMEMBER THIS? The pretty 'Umbrella' singer looked colourful when she popped into the 51st Street H&M to launch the HIV-driven 'Fashion Against AIDS' campaign. A host of famous musicians and designers have created a range of funky organic cotton T-shirts and jackets for H&M to raise awareness of Aids among young adults and Rihanna was one of those young musicians. The collection will be in stores from February.

Here is her arrival at the same event:



She was looking like a real rocker biker chick. Image wise, Rihanna enjoys taking it up a notch, but you can't deny that she looks fantastic.

And last night, she was also spotted arriving at her hotel in New York City:



This chick is everywhere, damn! She is like a human globe *lol* It was only the other day she was in France. Next week, she'll be in LA for The Grammy Awards. Then a week after the Grammy's, she'll be jetting over to the UK for the Brit Awards, and then after the Brit Awards she'll consume the rest of her UK tour or at least the dates that she missed last December. How does she do it? Her man Chris Brown certainly has his work cut out but then, they're two of a kind.

Leona Lewis put in an appearance on MTV TRL, January 28th to premiere her new video 'Bleeding Love':



If you still didn't catch her US video for Bleeding Love, CLICK HERE. Being that she's from the UK, I would really love to see her do well but she has no personality. No appeal. Nothing. Americans will just see her as a diva-less knock-off Mariah Carey with similar racial background and vocal abilities but nothing about her stands out. There are soooo many singers that pretty much fits her category. Physically, she has Beyonce's attributes and vocally, she has Mariah's vocal chords but nothing else distinguishes her from those types of artists.

Jordin Sparks attended the 30th Annual Kennedy Center Honors yesterday:



Pretty girl but her frock is mad cheesy, almost as if she's attending a high school prom. As reported previously, the video for her new single 'No Air' will premiere in February and features Chris Brown.

Mary J Blige was spotted out in London a couple of days ago:

Someone needs to tell her that bobble jackets are suppose to be simple, not all jazzed up. Her boots are another story for another day *lol* Not really feeling her look save for the glasses. Ms Blige was spotted outside the BBC studio's. Mary has been in the UK to promote her new album 'Growing Pains' which has yet to drop over here. That sucks. We're always the last to get shit. Growing Pains will not be released until Feb 4th in the UK. As part of her promotion she did a string of live performances and appeared on a couple of UK TV shows. On BBC 1xtra's (radio) morning show she performed JUST FINE and FAMILY AFFAIR so be sure to check those out.
