AUBREY O'DAY LAUNCHES T-SHIRT LINE AT OWL LABS, NYC
Aubrey O'Day refused to let Danity Kane stop her from being great, and is still getting to the money.
She posed with Russell Simmons and top model winner Jaslene Gonzalez at the launch of her "Dare To Love" t-shirt line at Owl's Lab in New York City. Aubrey's tee read, "my sex tape comes out next week," and would we be surprised if this was a foreshadowing?

KIM KARDASHIAN—CIARA GET SPEEDING TICKET, SPOTTED IN WEST HOLLYWOOD
The new and improved Ebony & Ivory, D. Woods & Aubrey O'Day Ciara and Kim Kardashian, were pulled over for speeding on their way see Katy Perry in concert Saturday night. Kim Kardashian tweeted:
[*I am a Ciara fan, but she WILL NEVER be able to sing her way out of a ticket. If anything, that would be considered refusal to cooperate with police. ]
Did Kim just make a joke?* Anywho, the ladies gave up on the concert and decided to have dinner at Crustacean. They later made their way to Millions Of Milkshakes for desert.

CATCHING UP W/→ RIHANNA LUNCHING @ DA SILVANO, NY
Rihanna and her [assistant/best friend] Melissa had Italian lunch on the patio of Da Silvano in NYC's Greenwich Village yesterday (August 26).
I'm digging this casual, mostly white look, but then again when is Rihanna not looking exceptional? Tuesday, Ri Ri's ex, Chris Brown, was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna (or 10 yards if at an award show/industry event) until 2014.

PUSSYCAT DOLL MELODY THORNTON TEARS UP ROBERTSON BOULEVARD
The second most famous PCD, Melody Thorton, was spotted getting her shop on at both Intermix and Paige Premium Denim in Los Angeles. The singer recently had dinner with Nelly at Katsuya.
As far as her career is concerned, people believe that Melody should get to sing lead more often. However, I'm sure that Melody isn't complaining...Nicole can do all the work while she chills in the background and the checks roll in.

COUPLES WATCH|→ THE DREAM & CHRISTINA MILIAN OUT & ABOUT IN NYC
Artist/producer, The Dream, has been accompanying his fiance, Christina Milian, on her New York promo tour for the straight-to-DVD release Bring It On: Fight to the Finish. The two were seen leaving the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on August 25th.
I refuse to allow them to be one of my favorite couples until her album drops. I'm just saying...she was with Dre from the production team Cool & Dre who worked on her last album [which flopped]. Now, she's moved on to another producer...we joke about Cassie f**king for tracks, but C Mili is the biggest suspect if you ask me.

KELLY ROWLAND SPEAKS ON HER CAREER POST MATTHEW KNOWLES
After years of downplaying her international appeal, Kelly Rowland is finally embracing it. She recently told USAToday.com:
"Here, sometimes it's like my music didn't quite work, but overseas it's on top of everybody's chart. I've had more international success than domestic success, and I think that opens my eyes up to music. I mean, I just got back from performing in Lebanon. Lebanon!"

As for Matthew, Kelly claims that there are no hard feelings, but she simply needed to move her career in a different direction.
Kelly made the right decision by finding fresh management that can rep her on a more international level. She's already flying high with the David Guetta track "When Love Takes Over," and i can't wait to hear new material from Miss Kelly.

FRESH MUSIC ♫| KARINA PASIAN COVERS BEYONCE'S "AVE MARIA"
Beyonce recorded a personal rendition of "Ave Maria" for I Am...Sasha Fierce, and Def Jam's 18-year-old Karina Pasian recently covered this gem from B's third album.
I honestly like Karina's cover better than Beyonce's original track, because of Karina's tone plus she accompanies herself on the piano. Watch Karina's performance above, then download the audio for your music library.

RIHANNA MEANS BUSINESS IN MANHATTAN
Last night, Rihanna had a late Manhattan business meeting at the Bowery Hotel toting in a fluorescent binder and wearing her poker face.
Once again Ri Ri is walking around with purpose in my eyes. She is hard at work on her fourth studio album, and will return to the stage (w/ Jay-Z & Kanye) for the first time since CB beat her down on the September 14th premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show.

Sunday night, both Kelly Rowland & Heidi Montag-Pratt shared the same stage at the Miss Universe competition. Fail.
The Hills star paid homage to Britney Spears with a bedazzled, nude two piece, killer abs, and lip syncing, but backstage she somehow confused Kelly Rowland with her Destiny's Child group mate Michelle Williams. Here is what Kelly told her TWEEPS:
Damn, if this ain't another case of "they all look alike," if you know what i mean. At least Kelly was nice about the situation, and that's how we know she ain't CREOLE! (© LIL' CREOLE PIMP)

MAG STAND|→ MICHAEL JACKSON COVERS THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF GQ
For their September issue, GQ magazine decided to pay tribute to the legendary Michael Jackson. However, the publication's tribute is anything but politically correct. The piece is called "When Michael Was Cool," Check out this excerpt:
Many of Jackson's fans and celebrities are speaking out against the article, but i feel that there is a bit of truth in what GQ published. Although I do not believe that the image and career complications that Michael experienced overshadow his legacy, THEY ARE a part of it that can not be evaded. Read the entire article HERE."Before the weirdness claimed his legacy, Michael Jackson understood his talent—and what he was willing to do for it—better than we ever have"
