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

Earlier today, Mariah Carey arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in Paris to do a spot of promotion for forthcoming album E=MC²:



That outfit is very familiar. Oh wait, isn't that the VERY SAME outfit Mariah wore at The Hills premiere a couple of days ago? You wouldn't expect that from someone like Mariah. This is the very woman that has over a thousand shoes in her closet but yet chooses to rehash the same outfit in under a week. Or maybe she really likes the outfit, especially that pink jacket. Mariah will also be traveling to the UK and Germany next week to do more promotion before flying back to the States for American Idol (she'll be mentoring and performing). Can't believe the album will be dropping in exactly two weeks, which means we'll hear it within one week. The album leak release is drawing closer and closer.

Usher was spotted giving the paps the middle finger when he departed Barney's in Beverly Hills:



He must have forgotten to change his tampon that day. We all know Usher is the biggest drama queen around these parts. The wicked witch of the west got him real good!

Last night, British Soul singer Joss Stone performed a concert at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino:



This week, it was reported that Joss will indulge in a lesbian kiss in British movie Snapper, in which she plays a Red-Coat-style entertainer at a holiday camp.
