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

Spice Girl Melanie Brown (Booby Spice) is the new spokeswoman for Ultimo Lingerie and she was in London at Debenhams to promote it. Here's a couple of pics:



Mel B is also on course to become the new X Factor judge. She is currently in negotiation and has beat off stiff competition from two other British singers - Charlotte Church and Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole. It was officially announced this week that Sharon Osbourne has quit The X Factor. Sharon will not be returning to the show that launched Leona Lewis into the International superstar that she is today. Sharon absolutely hates the new judge Danni Minogue because she sees Danni as a threat and believes Danni only got the job because of her looks and not because of her contribution towards the music industry. It's also believed that Sharon's departure could all be down to the two judges not getting along as well.

More flicks of Mel B on her UK promotional trip, where she celebrated her 33rd birthday:



Mel must have that dress in every gotdamn colour of the rainbow. Over in LA, she has been seen rocking the same dress in red and black.

Here she is again in London, rocking the very same dress in pink:



As reported, Mel is working on a brand new solo album and on it she has a revenge song targeted at Eddie Murphy, the father of her daughter Angel Iris. According to the Daily Mirror, the song is called 'Undercover' and here's a preview of the lyrics: "You're a deadbeat cheat, so undercover. Living a Hollywood Lie as Mr Lover Lover. Go 'head leading your double life, phoney faker undercover." Wow. But not surpising. Mel has been down this route before. Nope. This is not the first time Mel has taken shots at another baby daddy of hers. In a vicious attack towards her ex-hubby Jimmy Gulzar (father of her 9-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi) she criticizes him on her previous top 5 single 'Tell Me': "Now I see you didn't have no self esteem. And all you loved was Mel B's money". Mel's album due out this autumn, also features a new duet with Baby Spice Emma Bunton and reportedly, Janet Jackson.

Last night, Bad Boy acts Danity Kane, Day26, Donnie Klang and Cheri Dennis took their current Making The Band 4 tour to Las Vegas:




The new video's for ALL acts. Where are they damn it?

A week ago, Ashanti performed at her Myspace Release Show which went down at the Knitting Factory in New York City:



The singer is set to host BET's Nomination Special 'I Wanna Thank My Mama'. The show wil air on Wednesday at 8/7c.

This week, Christina Milian was spotted cheesing it up for the paps when she departed Area nightclub in West Hollywood:



Every time we see her, she's either eating out at a restaurant or leaving a nightclub. I'm amazed, paps trail her around considering that she hasn't been doing much lately.

On Friday, Jennifer Lopez looked totally glam when she and and hubby Marc Anthony were seen getting into their car after attending a news conference in Moscow:




This is the very location where Jen performed at the MUZ TV Music Awards. Performances will be up shortly.

Mary J Blige has been in the UK this week, to kick off her latest tour. Here's a couple of pics from her gig in Manchester:




Due to exhaustion, Mary J. Blige has decided to postpone her New Zealand/Australia tour until November. She says: "Postponing these shows has been an extremely difficult decision for me and I am sincerely sorry that I will not be able to fulfill my tour commitments, but I assure you that the November shows will be well worth the wait".

Faith Evans attended the Coca-Cola celebration of the Essence event this week:



The singer also performed. Good to see Faith doing what she does best. Look forward to her new album, if we ever see it.
