CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT + PUSSYCAT DOLLS ANNOUNCE ALBUM TITLE & RELEASE DATE....

Amerie was looking totally different last night. She was sporting an edgier hairdo which was a lighter shade of brown and wore a one shouldered yellow Herve Leger dress at yesterday's Maxim Hot 100 Party. Many of Maxim's hottest woman of 2008 attended to acknowledge their hotness:



Are you feeling it? I can't say I am. I don't think lighter shade of hair compliments Amerie's looks and she's naturally pretty. I don't fault her for wanting to change her look though. It gives us something to talk about.

Christina Milian (below) and the Pussycat Dolls (2nd and 3rd row) was there too as was their former band member Carmit, Will.i.am and Mario (4th row):






Here's some news on the new Pussycat Doll album. It is called 'To Those Who Wait', and it will be released on August 4th (August 5th in the States). The album features 14 brand-new tracks with production from Sean Garrett, Timbaland, and Fernando Garibay and collaborations from Will.i.am, T-Pain and Ne-yo. They will begin a whirlwind promotional tour for the album's lead single 'When I Grow Up' throughout June and July, before performing a massive one-off showcase at New York's Gotham Hall for the album in New York on August 2nd.

At the American Idol finale last night, many former Idol winners/contestants were there for the closing season, such as Jordin Sparks, Ruben Studdard, CarrieUnderwood (not pictured) and Fantasia. Jordin performed 'One Step at a Time'. Syesha Mercado looked really beautiful last night when she performed 'Waiting for You' with Seal, whilst six female contestants were partnered with disco Queen Donna Summer. The routine featured the disco diva singing her new song 'Stamp Your Feet' for the first time in front of an audience:










Fantasia was also spotted with her man Dro. As for who won American Idol last night, I won't spoil it for UK viewers who have yet to watch the show (it airs tonight). Fantasia looked a ghetto fool. Jordin looked cute and classy. And looking at Melinda Doolittle hurts my damned soul.

Danity Kane attended the Fragrance Foundation Presents 36th Annual FIFI Awards & Celebration on Tuesday night in NYC:



D. Woods has lost so much weight. Diddy's comments must have gotten to her.

Estelle did more promotion when she performed at R&B Live party held in a secret location in NYC on Tuesday night:



Chick sure was getting her grind on.

Danity Kane's D. Woods, Dawn and Aubrey was there as well as Teyana Taylor and Dawn's fella Que of Day26:




Dawn just isn't pretty. Her face looks kind of trannyish. I just didn't realise it until now. As for Teyana, I just won't go there. Too much to say in so little time.

On May 18th, Solange and Ne-yo partied it up at Belvedere:



The younger Knowles sister kicked off her tour with Raheem DeVaughn and Chrisette Michele on Wednesday night. Via Geffen Records, her sophomore album SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams is due for release on August 26th. You can check out Solange's tour dates by clicking here.
