CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT [PRE-GRAMMY ACTIVITIES]....

Tonight is the night where all the pre-Grammy parties will take place before the big ceremony kicks off on Sunday. Already the celebs are already flocking. Last night, Janet Jackson attended a Pre-Grammy party in Hollywood at the Central Hollywood Lounge, which was hosted by her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri:



Janet looks lovely but JD with age, is starting to look more and more like that creature from The Goonies. Him and Sloth could be from the same planet even. He terrified me in my childhood and now that I'm grown JD just well, frightens me. Her video shoot for her new single Rock Wit U is underway and will be directed by British director Saam Farahmand who also directed her Feedback video. Janet will also release Luv as her Urban single whilst Rock Wit U will serve as a pop record for pop radio airplay only. According to Virginia radio station Z104, Janet will be performing an intimate concert at the Nokia Theatre in Time Square on February 26, 2008. The concert will air live on 'Good Morning America'. Lastly, no one knows for certain if Janet will perform at tomorrow's Grammy's but the official commercial for the Grammys reveals that there will be a secret performance. I hope they mean Janet because she really needs to perform. And I would love to see a Janet performance with hot choreography. She has done no real promotion for the album or single for that matter and Feb 26th is slowly creeping up on us.

Yesterday, the gorgeous Christina Milian attended the Verizon Wireless and People Magazine party to honor Timbaland at the Avalon Hollywood on Febuary 8, 2008 in Los Angeles:




Absolutely flawless. People talk about how Cassie can never put a foot wrong but I think Christina has her beat. That lipstick colour looks really good on her.

Fergie also hit up the event:



Cute outfit!

Kelis and Jordin Sparks also hit up the event, although I wasn't really feeling what either of them were wearing:



They are both pretty girls, but I just wasn't feeling their outfits.

Solange Knowles, Pussycat doll Melody Thornton and Keri Hilson all hit up the event before heading off to the the pre-Grammy party hosted by JD:



I wasn't feeling what Keri was wearing. The dress looked kind of cheap and hooker-ish. Solange didn't look that good either. Her outfit looked like it was made from a black bin bag. Her fashion sense is a trip but Melody looked hot. Whilst Keri was there, she debuted her very first single last night. It's called Return the Favor and Timbaland collaborates on the track. The song will be the first single from her debut album In A Perfect World which will be released in the summer. Hopefully. Other attendees included Estelle, JC Chasez, Natasha Bedingfield and the adorable Tia Mowry. Check out the full gallery here.

Yesterday, Rihanna was spotted at the Fitness Factory in NY:



I guess she was squeezing in last minute preparations to look good for tomorrow's big event.

Last night, music mogul and Designer Sean "Diddy" Combs, and singer Cassie attended the Sean John Fall 2008 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2008 on February 8, 2008 in New York City:



Cassie, who has modeled for the Sean Jean clothing line for females has been joined to the very hip of her older mentor over the last couple of months. I mean, outside of work related activities which would permit them to hang out together, it seems they've broken every single rule in the book of mixing business with pleasure. This week she was right by his side at 'A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF' event, not to mention the countless events they attended together previously - the Halloween party, the party that Diddy hosted at Mansion Night Club in Miami. And then they were inseparable last year at her 21st birthday bash in light of the VMA mayhem. There are many more events on top of those ones too. There was also an event they attended together and Kim Porter was right with them in the picture. This was before she packed up and left Diddy's ass. Now I'm not trying to start any conspiracy theories. Cassie has furiously denied they're sleeping together but she's not doing herself any favours and then she wonders why people think there is something going on between them. I mean, you never see Cheri Dennis joined up at Diddy's hip the way Cassie is. I read she's the no 1 priority on Bad Boy and if so, that's no surprise. I feel really sorry for everybody else on that label.

Last night, Fantasia performed during the 2008 MusiCares Person of the Year Honors Aretha Franklin at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8, 2008:




Fantasia appeared to be feeling herself in her performance despite the outrageous skunk of a mess that lay on her head. She appeared to have cleaned up well for the event. And as for Aretha, she's an amazing woman, you can't take that away from her. But if my grandma came out like that with her saggy titties bursting out at the seams and people knew that she was my grandma I would cry tears of blood. Aretha ALWAYS be wearing those titty defying lowcut dresses when nobody is trying to see that. I mean, she's old as dirt so I'd like to think she'd dress up a little more conservative for her age. The event celebrated her extraordinary musical achievements and her philanthropic commitments to children's and healthcare organizations, and various churches and food banks in the Detroit metropolitan area. Proceeds from the annual Person of the Year tribute provide essential support for people who have a place to turn to in times of financial, medical and personal need.

Singers Ne-Yo, Sarah Brightman and Corinne Baily Rae all showed up at the 2008 MusiCares Person of the Year Honors Aretha Franklin at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8, 2008:





Just for shits and giggles, Lil Mama also arrived onto the scene. Well, to give the sheman credit, she didn't look that bad. Honest. Also, Aretha says that due to the help of a personal trainer/nutritionist, she has lost weight but it looks like she's packed on another 50lbs if ya ask me. I'm sure she'd easily lose that if she had a breast reduction....

On Thursday night, Kelly Rowland attended the Tommy Hilfiger runway show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2008 at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center on February 7, 2008 in New York City:



MEH!

Rihanna hung out with rapper Snoop Dogg backstage at the Black Eyed Peas's 4th Annual "Peapod Foundation Benefit Concert" on February 7th:



Snoop's facial expressions are hilarious.

Rihanna also performed at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards Salute to Fashion, February 7th 2008 in Los Angeles:




The fashion show was said to be a blast which saw Rihanna give off an electric performance. I look forwards to seeing Rih Rih take to the stage tomorrow night at the big event.

Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z and JD were also there but their R&B girlfriends Beyonce and Janet Jackson were nowhere in sight:



I know Rihanna is going to miss Jay-Z like hell since he stepped down from his position of Presidency at Def Jam. I wonder if he'll still collaborate with her on her new album, which she has started recording.

Kelis and Melody Thornton attended the In Style and The Recording Academy Celebrate GRAMMY Salute to Fashion at Boulevard 3 on February 7, 2008 in Hollywood, California:



Both ladies were looking pretty.

Janet not being by her man's side would be that she spent Thursday night partying it up with Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton at Tigerheat Club in L.A.:



Wow, she looks really youthful in that picture. As for Janet's entire new album, Discipline, Perez says "it's everything you would have hoped for". Janet visited the gays where she thanked everyone for their support. And she played four new tracks for the very lucky clubgoers! And got a great reception in the process!

Singer Shanice and husband Flex attended Tank's Grammy Nomination Party on February 7, 2008 at the Area in Los Angeles, California:



She looks great! For those of you who really enjoyed her last independently released album 'Every Woman Dreams' which was released back in 2006, then we could very much look forward to a new album really soon. According to her official myspace, Shanice is dropping a new album this year. I'll keep ya'll informed on that.

Singer Chrisette Michele at the 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards Westwood One Radio Remotes at Staples Center on Febuary 7, 2008 in Los Angeles, California:




What is Chrissy looking like these days? I have no words. The next day which was yesterday (Feb 8th), singers (left to right) J. Holiday, Angie Stone, Ray-J, Ne-yo and Jordin Sparks hit up that very same spot.

Last night, Mary J. Blige and Benny Medina attended The Chairmans Luncheon February 8th, 2008 Los Angeles, CA:



I am reading reports that Mary might not perform at the Grammy's tomorrow because of 'TV plans'. According to a rep, the Breakthrough singer has a slew of major TV shows -- 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' 'Rachael Ray,' and 'TV One on One with Cathy Hughes' -- in the works, as her record label, Geffen, roles out her new single 'Hurt Again,' from her latest platinum-selling opus, 'Growing Pains'. I hope this is not true though because I was really looking forwards to her performance but tomorrow night we will see. This comes after the announcement that Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige will take off on a 25-date North American co-headlining tour together beginning next month in Miami. The "Mary J. Blige & Jay-Z: Heart of the City" tour will kick off at Miami's American Airlines Arena and go on to cover the East coast while also stopping off in New Orleans, Houston, Las Vegas and Oakland, according to a press release. The tour will also hit L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl on April 16th.

Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day attended 'The Celebrity Apprentice' viewing party at Tenjune on February 7, 2008 in New York City, New York:



She looks frightening as if you wouldn't want to cross her on a dark lonely street. Her eyes look weird and what the fuck is that on her mouth? Looks like someone's been eating too many sausages.

I know more pictures are going to crop up because it's Pre-Grammy party night TONIGHT where all the biggest names in music will be popping out so chances are, there will be another post like this real soon. We may even get a Beyonce appearance tonight who knows. Stay tuned on that one.
