CELEB SPOTTINGS: R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT + CHRIS MOM APPROVES RIHANNA ....

Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday bash concert will take place this week. There was a celebratory dinner for the former South African president and the stars were out for the fundraising dinner which took place at London's Hyde Park on Wednesday afternoon. Leona Lewis was there:



Leona looked amazing. That is a cute dress! She was also rocking a darker hair colour. It makes sense that she attended the dinner because she's scheduled to perform at the bash which will be televised this weekend.

Other celebs that attended the event was Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and her rumoured fella Lewis Hamilton as did Will and Jada:



That chick will never learn. *sigh*

POST-BET AWARDS....

Interscope Geffen A&M hosted their second annual Creme of The Crop post BET Awards dinner celebration Tuesday night at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. Singers Mel B, Melody Thornton, Tyrese, Toni Braxton and Ciara all attended the special dinner:



The exclusive affair was held to pay tribute to IGA artists including Mary J. Blige and Keyshia Cole.

PRE-BET AWARDS....

Rihanna was seen leaving Les Deux in Hollywood - June 21, 2008:




Those sandals can't get any flatter. There are also rumors that Rihanna being cast in 'Mama Black Widow' aren't true despite still being interested in acting.

She was also seen out with Chris Brown in NY last week. Chris was rocking a defiant GET OFF MY DICK tee-shirt:



That first pic looks pretty tense. I wonder who his spectacular choice of words were aimed at. The third pic is when they attended their BET Awards rehearsal. Rihanna also made a trip to GBK Productions' Fire & Ice gifting lounge for the BET Awards over the weekend with Chris and his mom, Joyce Hawkins. According to a source, she was overheard cooing, "Rihanna is the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated." Hmmmmm.... Make of that what you will.

Jojo also attended Solange's 22nd bash this week:



As did PCD and former PCD chicks Carmitt and Melody Thornton who's been EVERYWHERE as of late.

And here's two more pics of Kelis at a pre-BET Awards event:



She chilled with her best pal Dania and wild haired singer Macy Gray. All these BET posts are wearing me out, LOL! Hopefully, this one is the last. :)
