R&B SINGERS SPOTTED OUT & ABOUT.....

Beyonce Knowles was spotted taking a stroll on Miami Beach alongside five of her burly security guards. The former Destiny's Child singer sported a bright multi-coloured bikini and happily showed off her huge diamond engagement ring during a brief trip to the sand, before returning to her luxury South Beach hotel. She was also spotted with her cousin Angela Beyince, her sister Solange and her nephew Daniel:





Five bodyguards to protect herself seems quite underwhelming considering that her ring costed over $5 MILLION DOLLARS. Someone give this chick the memo that husband Jay-Z is dying to breed her. After she's done promoting and touring for the new album, she should just sit her ass down and pop out some babies. Her work ethic is like one I've never seen before, and she doesn't need to carry on, for as long as she lives. I don't get why the chick is illergic to settling down PROPERLY. Oh right, she aint gonna stop until she's a legend.

Usher was spotted in Milan, Italy once again yesterday. He was seen having a suit fitting with Fashion designers Dean and Dan of Dsquared2:



Apparently, Dean and Dan will be creating the suits for Usher's upcoming 'Ladies Only Tour'. The singer has so far announced 15 dates. After seeing his new vid, I'm thinking that the tour will be quite thrilling. Will you be attending?

Leona Lewis and her longtime electrician boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa were spotted picking up new clothes at J.Lindeberg in London earlier today:

JUST JARED

Despite folks claiming she should date someone with more status to that of her own, Leona isn't about to lose a good thing all because boyfy doesn't work in the spotlight: "Why does everyone seem surprised we’re still together?" she has asked. "Why would I dump someone because of this? He’s my best friend and we make sure we get to spend time together when we can. I know this is a crazy time, but I know how important it is to keep my feet on the ground. Simon [Cowell], my management and my record company all know I insist on having regular time set aside in my schedule for my family and for Lou. That keeps my life in perspective. It keeps things normal". She is so loyal and grounded. Loves it!

Blu Cantrell was spotted hitting up the LA club scene this week:



H.A.M. This is what you look like when the cheques stop coming in.

Solange Knowles performed tracks from her latest album 'Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams' at the 2008 Bermuda Music Festival at the Bermuda National Stadium yesterday:



Still doing her thang.....

Yesterday in Washing D.C, Mario and Jojo participated in helping create the World's largest shared reading experience in a day. This was done by reading one book, the Don Freeman's classic, CORDUROY:




The two singers wanted to help in aiding the literacy crisis in the U.S. that plagues today's youngsters. Thousands of reading events took place simultaneously across the country. Good to see two of our most talented R&B singers giving back to the community.
