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

As most of you have noticed, updates have been slow I know. Stop buggin', lol. It's just that things have been hectic as of late but bear with me. Things should be back to normal shortly. This week, Kelly Rowland attended MTV's Xbox Party which took place in Sydney, Australia:

I wish she'd retire that outfit though. I've seen her rock it too many times in the last couple of weeks. Time to switch things up a lil - from head to toe.

Ashanti was also spotted showing off her unshaven armpits at her listening party in New York City:

Ashanti is on course to sell only 80,000 copies of her new album The Declaration which was released on Tuesday. For all the promotion she's been doing I expected her to have higher sales. I know she's been on the decline with each album but damn. This is evident that no one cares anymore. No wonder she's talking about putting music at the backburner to concentrate on a full time acting career. I guess folks been over her and 2002 will never come back. Kelly Rowland has been ragged on for over a year for selling EXACTLY that amount. Now Ashanti has joined the club.

She also attended the Ring The Opening Bell at The NYSE in NY this week:

Cute get-up.

And again, the 27-year-old singer was also spotted in New York City leaving the MTV studio's:

It's a shame all this promotion isn't paying off, especially since The Declaration isn't a bad album. I guess albums no longer sell on the merit of quality. So she can wave goodbye to her singing career. At least she's got her songwriting to fall back on.

This week, Amerie attended and performed at the ESPN 'Revenge Of The Jocks' party on Wednesday:

The singer is currently in the studio recording a brand new album. It's no secret that Amerie was battling to come out of her contract with Columbia, and it's since been reported that she's made the transition to Island Def Jam.

Mary J Blige was spotted outside Crystal Nightclub in London this week:
