AMERICAN IDOL BRINGS BACK THE KING OF POP!

Well not really...

The American Idol contestants honored icon Elton John by performing his vast array of songs. All the competitors did great, taking each song and making it their own.

But what really caused controversy was a comment said after the performance by James Durbin. After putting on a great and surreal performance with a flaming piano singing his rendition of "Saturday's Alright for Fighting."

After the positive reaction from the audience and the judges, James commented, "I have a lot of hairspray in my hair to keep it up...So, the one thing that I was worried about was having a Pepsi moment." [[Note: In reference to the flaming piano and his hair not catching fire]] To save the embarrassing moment, Ryan Seacrest wittingly mentions that American Idol is sponsored by Coca-Cola, not Pepsi. Then the show went straight to a commercial break with none other than...A COCA-COLA ADVERTISEMENT!!! I knew I caught the "joke"...

Check it out here:








But the family of the great Michael Jackson took offense to this comment. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's okay, I will explain. In 1984, Michael Jackson was filming a really big commercial for Pepsi when pyrotechnics accidentally made his hair catch on fire which left him with second-degree burns on his scalp! This unfortunate incident "started" one of Michael Jackson's many plastic surgeries.

Mr. Joe Jackson's rep commented, "Mr. Jackson doesn't think the American Idol contestant meant any harm by his comment, but the [Pepsi] incident is nothing to take lightly...The main concern right now is to find out who was responsible for Michael's death."

Let's see tonight if James Durbin will be eliminated for his mishap. I don't think he personally made this statement on purpose, it was a little hiccup. Don't forget that he does have both Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome, though it's hardly noticeable. James Durbin has a great voice and performance aesthetic that goes back to the classic rock days and I believe he can really make it far in this competition. Hopefully this little mistake on his part won't hurt him in the voting aspect...

Catch the results tonight on FOX at 8PM where 2 contestants will be eliminated this week!

The REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA Step Up Their Style Game

Well, well, well... the Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) is one of my favorite reality shows and I've been watching a couple seasons. I noticed here that these ladies, whether single, married, or divorced, have been stepping up their style game. They've already dressed nice previously, but in comparison, they're much better, ESPECIALLY Kandi Burruss. 

Oh, I know it. I checked out Media Takeout, and found these pics:

Dat's wassup.... we'll see how the next season of RHOA plays out...

HOTT! Check Out Chris Brown's Custom Lambo; Looks Like A Sporty Army Tank!

Chris Brown just never seems to slow down on ATTENTION these days. After the highly publicized nude pic, the blonde hair, the GMA meltdown, and his recent triumph in selling 273,000 copies of his 'F.A.M.E.' album this week, Chris turns heads yet again with his new custom Lambo (could be the same car with new paint job).

Chris Breezy was spotted going to the gym, rolled up in the Lamborghini Gallardo, which looks like a sporty army tank, something out of TRANSFORMERS, and he sure got a crowd around his car. Gotta love his creativity and ambition.

LISARAYE, A 'Semi'-Angel In All-White + Toni Braxton Promoting Reality Show

Wassup? Check out LisaRaye, the woman who defies age and is known for wearing all white; it's a good thing she's not clumsy to drop something dark on her clothes :-)

LisaRaye was spotted out at the same time as Toni Braxton, doing some promoting of their new reality series, Single Ladies, and both of them look good. Toni Braxton is sure givin' it to us in her purple evening gown... I just wonder why both are single.... But Toni Braxton has been through a lot, and it's nice that she gets a reality show to make some money.

NICKI MINAJ As "Mother Nature" In A 'Save Nature' Charity Event

               

...And Ms. Nicki Minaj didn't look out of place at all; this kind of thing is right up her alley. Nicki Minaj performed per Anna Wintour (Vogue Magazine editor-in-chief) for a charity event to save the earth and nature. Other celebs like Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber, and former president Bill clinton were there.

Nicki Minaj's outfit was noticeable even though it was in all-black, topped with an half-blonde/half-green Frankenstein wig. She looked so fun, and just GREAT. See more pics:

KERI HILSON In Jeggings

I've got more pics of JEGGINGS. They seem to be a real popular find for ladies, so I just want to do my part by saying that I'm aware of what the ladies like.

If you don't know, JEGGINGS are like leggings, only they look like jeans and are very comfortable.

The Ultimate Briefcase

Carrying a hard-cased, boring briefcase may be the business thing that you see in your local metropolis, but if you are young, hip, with the times of 2011, you wouild know that the new thing is to wear a fancy backpack that has all of the components of a briefcase.

This real fancy bag is by H by Harris. It's made from 100% Nappa Leather and has several compartments, including a compartment for your laptop. It can be had for $919. Yow... or you know... there are plenty of bags that can look similar to this for less.

HAS ABC7 ALREADY FORGIVEN CHRIS BROWN'S GMA OUTBURST FROM LAST WEEK?!

It seems like only yesterday that Chris Brown created controversy after his much anticipated interview with Good Morning America last week. Not only did he smash the window with a chair from his dressing room, but he left the building without a shirt and without finishing the online segment of the interview.

But it seems ABC7 has put the past quickly behind them and has permitted Chris Brown to still perform in the first results show for Dancing With the Stars. But some people associated with the show were not too thrilled with this decision...

Cheryl Burke, a professional dancer on the show, came out recently to being a victim of abuse. She believes ABC7 is sending a message that reckless behavior is okay and quickly forgotten. Cheryl said, "As a victim of domestic violence, I don't agree with him coming on the show, but it's out of my control."

Host of Dancing with the Stars Tom Bergeron wasn't too thrilled either. Being a person responsible for the interviews along with Brooke Burke, he said to Ryan Seacrest on the radio, “I did tell the producers it may be to their advantage to not have me interview him because my natural tendency would be to say something...Don’t put me in a position where you are asking me to not say something, because I really won’t do that.”

Though the media is very forgiving, I think it's too soon for Chris Brown to be given the "OK" as if nothing has happened. ABC7, a family network is encouraging abusive, ill-tempered behavior by permitting Chris Brown to perform on a family show. Though his performance was AMAZING, certain people (like me) aren't that easy in forgetting unnecessary temper tantrums. Watching the performance, I was actually thinking how much further Chris Brown would've been in his career if it wasn't for the Rihanna incident. This kid truly has so much talent, but if he doesn't get his act together, his departure into further positive recognition will be a tough road...SAD BUT TRUE.

Check out his performances here:

BARRY BONDS' MISTRESS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HIS STEROID USE

Barry Bonds is known as one of the greatest players in MLB History. Known for breaking the world record of home runs of 73 in a single year (2001), and the Major League Baseball home-run record of 762 in any baseball player's career by the time of his retirement in 2007.

Like with any great athlete, questions about extra supplements to help improve performance come into the picture. For many baseball players like Sammy Sosa, Jose Conseco, Mark McGuire, and Barry Bonds, assumptions about steroid use came into play. Not only are these baseball athletes well built, but to have records for home runs in one season and a noticeably larger muscular build truly raises some controversy.

Barry Bonds, despite critics, has denied using any illegal substance that was of his knowledge. Yesterday March 28, former mistress of Barry Bonds Kimberly Bell, testified in court saying that he did in fact use steroids, but not everyday, more in moderation. He also admitted to her that other players in the league used it as well for enhanced performance for their career.

Dating Barry Bonds for nine years, she confessed that his threatening elbow injury back in 1999 was due to his steroid use. Though he only mentioned using it once, Kimberly said she noticed changes such as temper problems (irritable and controlling), loss of hair (causing him to shave it off), acne on shoulders and back, sexual dysfunction, obvious muscle gain.

But questions from defense lawyer Cristina Arguedas tried to portray the mistress as a money hungry ex-lover who out of spite tried to profit from her broken relationship with Bonds by posing nude in Playboy and pitching a book called "In the Shadow of a Giant" about him. Despite many media interviews regarding her relationship with Bonds and his steroid use, Kimberly claims that she never received any money profiting from her interviews.

Whatever the situation turns out to be in Barry Bonds trial investigating his steroid use after lying under oath under the federal grand jury. He swears to only using products supplied by trainer that were supposedly flaxseed oil and arthritis balm.

So why did prosecutors try and get the mistress involved in this situation? Since being retired for almost four years, why is this case still relevant? I don't recall such an extended controversy regarding steroid use amongst a baseball player such as Barry Bonds. Despite players being ousted by Jose Conseco, you don't see trials going on today still trying to find out the facts. If people are really trying to dig up dirt about your past regarding some illegal enhance performance drug, then they really must have nothing else better to do. Leave the man be with his mistress(es), his adulterated marriage, and his records AND MOVE FORWARD!!!

What The---- Lil' Wayne Wears Skinny Silver Jeans!!!!

Yes, this is a SHOCKER for me, even anyone else watching this post. Lil' Wayne, one of the most hardcore of rappers, is wearing BALMAIN silver jeans for $1,662. It has an interesting chrome rosary-type necklace hanging from it.

Now I know that times are changing, and thugs in baggy and saggy jeans just isn't cool anymore (IT ISN'T--- So don't tell me 'NO') but I don't think I'll ever go that far down the jeans circuit wearing that BRIGHT of a pants hue. I would wear black or blue wax jeans that have a little sheen in them in the right light.

I think Lil' Wayne stepped WAYYYYY OUT THE BOX with those jeans; Gotta give him props for his bravery.

WOW Dude!!!

Rapper B.O.B.'s Cool Military Style

Good morning, I woke up to some good fashion style today with pics of B.O.B. being entrenched in this military style outfit. In my eyes, JAIDEN EYES--the eyes of fashion, this look is spot-on if you want to look cool and chillin' at the same time.

B.O.B. was wearing a tan Strivers Row canvas jacket for $240, and Camo jeans for $217. The shades, too, were on point; they were by SUPER.

You like? I know I do, because I can find all those looks and play the entire outfit well or even better than B.O.B. for under $75 or even LESS! I'm capable of doing that....

Rockin' Skin TEYANA TAYLOR Style

You know how a lot of people have to exercise or want to be in good shape for the beach? You can do that, too and in good style. Ladies, if you're a little on the plus side, nothing to fear-- as long as you wear a nice tunic or cool jacket with a colorful wrap around your waist, you are good to go.

RIHANNA On Cover of Rolling Stone Magazine

 

Wow... Rihanna is really the "cover queen" with her dominating presence everywhere. She has already graced the VOGUE and Fabulous Magazine (U.K.) and now here she goes on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine in her equally dominating, flaming red hair.

The fashion sense she has is just cleverly wild and impeccable, showing plenty leg wearing "barely there" metallic shorts, a white tank top, and frizzy red hair accompanied with a red handkerchief on her wrist. The background is cool and calm in contrast.
