Rihanna performed three of her best songs consecutively on her latest LOUD album at the American Music Awards as the opening performance. Later on she took home an AMA award. It was one of her best performances to date. She looked happy and like she was enjoying herself on stage and many folks agree that Rihanna has come a long way to solidify herself as an artist to wreck with.
Usher won an American Music Award last night. He was elated and stated on the show that he has been in the music business for 18 years. You could tell he was surprised winning over Trey Songz who had a tremendously hyped year, but I think a lot of negativity online backfired toward him due to his responses to it all. Oh well. There is always next year.
Then Justin “Beiber Billionaire,” the nick name LiteraryDish.com gave to this boy wonder won an award and I have to say this is the happiest I have ever seen Usher in a long time. The OMG Tour and hard work payed off. At first, It seemed like Beiber was going to forget Usher who acquired Beiber in a bidding war beating out Justin Timberlake. He took a long time to Thank Usher, but then he saved his most gracious thank you for last. I tell you this kid is smart.
Last night Justin Beiber was also, the youngest person ever to win an American Music Award so you can expect more great music from this teen sensation who is just as large or maybe larger than his Uncle Ush and that’s okay.
If he keeps performing his song, ‘Trading Places’ at concerts he’s bound to pack an audience. That is the sexiest song ever even though Usher isn’t sexy at all. Here is Usher performing his climatic song as he invites Jordin Sparks, professed virgin on stage and a dork acting teen if you ask me who needs to stop riding the Brittany Spears good girl image we know went south after she dated Justin Timberlake, but he actually looks like he likes her here.

Today I ran across all sorts of disappointing news. First, I am aware that Eva Langoria openly addressed her marriage crisis on all places, Twitter, in regard to finding out about Tony parker’s adulterous affair with her BFF. In my opinion, Tony Parker stands to lose more from this bitter divorce about to get real nasty. He recently acquired a 50 million dollar baseball contract so I just question the timing of this Desperate Housewives star.
For one, the career of a female actress is very short and easily replaced by new fresh faces in the game, so if there is any doubt that he has fallen out of love then this is a perfect time for Eva to set up her justice case to bail out with millions as did Tiger Woods and The Dream’s wives. It’ so easy to look at women of adulterous affairs as victims, but if you look at each situation the women knew their hubby’s adulterous mistresses and put these women in front of the faces so it seems by working or befriending them. The Dream’s mistress was his PR rep whom Christina Milian knew very well. FLIP THE DISH
LiteraryDish.com Explains Why Blair Underwood's Show Survives but Boris Kodjoe Sinks
Undercovers featuring Boris Kudjoe and co-star Gugu flopped because the actors are unknown on the mainstream. As much as we would like to believe that Boris Kudjoe is a well known coffee table star he simply has not played in roles that substantiate him as a Box Office Hit maker yet. Blair Underwood on the other hand has starred in classic bad guy roles which attracts audiences to his persona and even if he is not playing a bad guy on his new show “The Balancing Act.” He is also an author of the book, Casenegra, which hit the New York Times Bestseller List. Not too long ago I came face to face with Blair within 2 yards and he stopped and I stopped. We just had a starring match showdown for about a split second. It was so surreal because he knew he could not technically stare at me for more than a second and I knew it was improper for me to do the same so we just kept walking in the direction we we were going, but those eyes sometimes haunt me when I am sleeping and I break out in a sweat panting, Blair! Blair! Blair! too bad not, Boris, Boris, Boris. I think Boris needs to change his name. Poor guy. He’s a handsome one, too, but that damn name, Boris and then the Kodjoe. I start to think of the movie Cujo and GuGu better get out of here with that name that sounds like GA GA I just can’t watch shows and talk about names I can barely pronounce, but I am sure when they both get a leading film role soon I’ll be saying their names in these posts with no problem. Giggles.
Here is some obsessed Hip Hop wannabee with another R U READY Song sweating Boris to promote his dumb song, but we like the pics. Now if Boris uploaded this week song he may have lost his own show. Folks, don’t let folks idolize you with this kind of non- professionalism

Soul Train Awards- Keyshia Coles tropical inspired mini and updo hairstyle is well put together.
Raven lights up the Soul Train Award with her Rapunzel never ending auburn locks. With this hairstyle eye's that pop with the right make-up are a must and Ravens eye game is on point.
From a child prodigy to an overnight singsation, Bruno has got the pop, soul and RnB world on lock down and ladies begging to have his baby to take it all from him. Watch out Bruno. Don't crack.
Tank always has to look hard, rugged and tough and really needs to let go of this bad boy persona and put on a suit sometimes. Your not a bad boy. You are Tank. Act like a tank, don't look like a leather tank. I can't stand a man in leather from head to toe. You just know he's hiding something, but with a da-yum good album we can forgive this RnB bum on a piano..
Neyo is a class act. Just let Neyo be Neyo. His suit game is so NEYOISH.
Okay he's fine, but he always looks like he just woke up and tried to shave. Eric is all about his music. It must have been work to put on a blazer. We all know he is a vest with no shirt under and jeans guy recovering from cutting his dreads. He looked more pulled together with Halle. Sorry. Not that I think they should get back together.
Anita Baker is still a fav and that's why Hip Hop guru Biz Markie had to let Anita know how much he admires her work. Who knows maybe there will be a compilation soon. You know how we predict these things.
For a moment I did not recognize Dondria at all. This hairstyle and style over all is how she should have began. Who knew Dondria was a fashion sister. .
People are already buzzing about the chemistry between Drake and Rihanna in the video, “What’s My Name”. Not only is the song a winner, but the video is a classic city scene where boy meets girl and there is instant attraction. If this video does not bring out the love bird in you then nothing will because this is the most natural chemistry between two artists.
Denzel Washington has won an impressive 2 out of 5 Oscars, one for Training Day as a BAD GUY. my favorite Denzel movie ever. He recently went on the Regis Show to share what he does with his Oscars in his home and what he did at an Oscar Show upon not winning one year.
Regis was curious about Denzel’s Oscars since Barbara Streisand who has won over 8 has mentioned she uses them as bookends in her home and devotes only a small corner in her estate for awards. She even took a pic in a full length $5000 Oscar De La Renta gown for the Daily News.
As a former security head for a top department store fresh out of high school whom no one would ever suspect was under cover surveillance and a decoy for catching corruption and thieves for years until vaguely exposing there might be a million dollar internal thief no one suspected before quitting, I knew several dozen celebs who would buy gowns at that cost and return them the next day after sporting at events, but then we caught the pics in those celeb tabloids before they returned as repeat offenders buying and returning expensive clothes! Don’t do this celebrity ladies! It is carefully monitored in all stores, but I am pleased to say Barbara Streisand owns her frocks.
Denzel Washington who has given away millions to charities like the Boys and Girls Club doesn’t have any problem buying suits for his events, but did admit he was crushed upon not receiving an Oscar award one year and upon leaving in the direction where those tents are set up for the stars to munch on goodies before the show he did the unthinkable. Yes, Denzel said, Aw what the heck, I didn’t win an Oscar so I am taking home a plate of shrimp.”
Of course, it is a good thing he is admitting this because everyone knows these events are booby trapped with sound devices and cameras to come back to bite these stars in the foot when they reach the pinnacle of their careers. It’s called embezzlement so you might as well leak all of the scams, shams and thank you mams because filthy media already has the 411. I could just see Denzel now on the news caught stealing shrimp. You know media will only go so far before knocking down the glorified ones. And-well eat your heart out, Denzel just exposed himself . Go Denzel.
Now are you checking out his new movie, Unstoppable. It’s one of those action movies you think is just another film, but it is THE FILM.
Kimberly Elise who plays (Crystal) worked herself up the ladder at a magazine company, but her severe alcoholic live in boyfriend and father to her children played by Micheal Ealy as (Beau Willie) becomes enraged and insanely jealous upon her return home one day in a limo. He presumes it is her male boss who was really (Janet Jackson) Jo. Her failure to say she will marry him leads Micheal Ealy as (Beau Willie) to severely beat her in front of her kids, and which seems like a normal course of action that has gone on for so long.
Kimberly Elise (Crystal) makes the frightful decision to let her children walk into his arms right after the fight to mend all, but this time he does not apologize and break down as usual, but does the unthinkable making this scene the most shocking of the entire movie, and although predicted from the onset of events.
The problem with many movie goers I heard discussing the movie was that a very graphic scene with kids was exposed to possibly hundreds of thousands of kids who accompanied their families. Many families accustomed to seeing Tyler’s former comedies just didn’t expect this kind of graphic violence and took their kids to see it. As a result, many may have been traumatized by the horrific scene and not trust their adult fathers. After all, Michael Ealy as his father figure role gives the impression that he cares about his kids and why that particular scene was so shocking. However, the movie is properly rated and parents should be more responsible in their decisions so it seems, but how would mother’s affected by domestic abuse who have kids be able to see a movie if they don’t take the children? And how many mothers left their kids at home with their fathers while they went to see the movie with friends? Just something to think about.
How Heather Covington of LiteraryDiva.com Brought Out 500 People to Her 1st Barnes & Noble Signing
Bringing out people to your book signing takes more than keeping in touch with a friendly e-newsletter, social networking and advertising online or even a contest and giveaways. An established presence in the literary community with ongoing verifiable and noteworthy awards is key to attracting people as well as being selective among media who supports your reign. I began my writing career with posters locally that feature photos with my book in hand. Many made headline newspapers at events because I use poster boards as well. My take is if you don’t tell people who you are they simply won’t know.
