Jennifer Hudson Says She's Done Losing Weight! Launches New Clothing Line.

Since joining Weight Watchers, Jennifer Hudson has lost more than 80 pounds and she's at a point where she's comfortable with her weight and not trying to get any slimmer.

Jennifer is on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Redbook magazine and says inside:

"I'm at the weight I want to be.....But I hear all the time, 'Don't lose any more weight, you need to stop.' People are under the impression that I'm still losing but I'm not."

I am glad to hear that because she just can't lose any more weight without being a skeleton! 

Pulling from her experience as a larger girl who had trouble finding cute and flattering clothes, Jennifer has designed a clothing line for QVC.

"I know what I like, and that's what it's all about. It's like, who's your fashion icon?  Me. And no one but you knows what you feel most comfortable in.......I look at each piece and think, 'Could I wear that as big Jennifer or could I wear that now?'  I want to consider every girl."

Kelly Rowland Sneak Peek Teaser for Video "Ice" From New Album

The first single from Kelly Rowland's upcoming album "Year of the Woman" is  "Ice."  In the following video she gives us a little taste of what we can expect.  Her makeup looks fabulous.  I always like how they are able to smoke her eyes out and make them sparkle.  Kelly's short black bob reminds me of her Destiny's Child days, except she used to have some burgundy red in it back in the day.

Video below:

Here's the audio for the song "Ice" featuring Lil Wayne:

Tamar Braxton Sings Star Spangled Banner

For all that attitude and mouth Tamar is known for, she does have a voice to back it up.  Although I think the Star Spangled Banner was a challenge for her and that she tends to sound like she's trying to imitate Beyonce sometimes, you can hear that she really can sing if you didn't know already.

Watch how she walks away from the microphone, like "..And what?"  I love it. That's our Tamar.

Jermaine Jackson to Change His Last Name to This. Can We All Ask WHY?

Michael Jackson's older brother Jermaine Jackson has petitioned to legally change his name to Jermaine Jacksun.  "Sun" at the end instead of "son."

 It makes no sense to me but he filed the petition today (Tuesday) and is changing the name for artistic reasons.  Jermaine has been touring with his brothers and promoting the book "You Are Not Alone," which is about his brother, Michael.

Lady Gaga Gives $1 Million Dollars to NYC Hurricane Relief

Lady Gaga announced her pledge of $1 Million to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts on her website Little Monsters.  She credits her hometown for making her to be the person and artist she is today.

Lady Gaga (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) was born and raised in NYC.

She says:

"Today I pledge 1 million dollars to New York & The American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief. If it wasn't for NYC: the Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today. New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion. Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas" 

Lady Gaga Refused to Sing Onstage with Madonna?

At her St. Paul stop on her MDNA tour, Madonna had a few words to say about Lady Gaga.  She praised her audience for being the best fans and then said "So take that, Lady Gaga."  She then continued saying, "You know, I invited her onstage to sing with me. But, she turned me down. It's okay. I've been rejected before. It builds a little character."

Here's the video. Celebrities really can't get away with anything these days with Youtube.   Not too long ago, Madonna was booed after she shared that she would be voting for Obama in New Orleans.

Zoe Saldana is Endorsing LensCrafters. A Better Move than Nina Simone.

Zoe Saldana has teamed up with LensCrafters to promote their new "My Look" service which allows customers to have 4 high definition photos taken to help them compare and choose the most fitting frames.  This is a good idea (says a glasses wearer), however I don't know if I'd want to pay extra for this.

I just had to take the Nina Simone jab, didn't I?  Sorry for being so snarky.  Zoe looks great in her glasses.

Jay-Z Raps "I Got 99 Problems but Mitt Ain't One" at Ohio Campaign

Jay-Z did his part by performing at an Obama campaign rally in Columbus, Ohio.  He sang his song "99 Problems" and substituted Mitt (Romney) for the expletive.

I don't know how I feel about this.

What's the Hoopla About Beyonce's New Hair Do?

Beyonce and Jay-Z stepped out to enjoy the Nets vs. Raptors basketball game and people seem to find her hair different and interesting.  I don't get it.  What's the big deal about her hair?  It's a blonde weave or wig with heavy bangs. Beyonce is always wearing a blond weave.  Is it the bangs that's makes her look so unusual?

I saw that Beyonce's hairdo was trending and expected to see a mohawk or red pigtails or something. I'm not saying that her hair looks bad, it's just not anything I find out of the ordinary or trend-setting.

The day Beyonce walks out in public with a natural afro or twists will be the day I'll do a double-take.

Original Rudeboys Decline to Open for Chris Brown Due to His Woman Beater Past

The Irish band, the Original Rudeboys, was given the chance to open for Chris Brown at his upcoming London concert in December.  Chris Brown invited the group to play in the O2 Arena as his special guests but it was an offer they had to refuse.

The trio could not accept this opportunity in good conscience.  Sean Walsh, ukelele player of the group issued the following:

“Even though it's a huge opportunity to play in the 02 with a major hip hop star and a substantial fee was offered, we are completely against Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna........In addition, with our latest single ‘Blue Eyes’ being about domestic violence it goes against everything we are about as a band and supporting Chris Brown would send out the wrong message to our fans."

Wow.  A group with a conscience and moral responsibility for their image.

Rihanna, Jada, Tyra Banks. Celebrities Without Makeup Photos

Pictures of Rihanna, Tyra Banks, Jada Pinkett-Smith: Stars Not Wearing Their Makeup

Included are a few pictures of celebrities without any makeup on. I like seeing photos like these because it just lets you know that a lot of these celebrities don't just wake up looking so glamorous.  If you feel insecure or ugly because you don't look like these stars, just figure out what these celebrities are doing to look so beautiful and do the same thing.  There are so many Youtube tutorials that show you how to get your makeup game right.

I'm not saying that every woman should be wearing makeup, just that if you're looking at these celebrities and feeling like you are ugly because you don't look like them, you should know that many of them don't look all that much better than you without help. Most of them just look like regular people.  If you want to look similar to how you usually see them, figure out how to transform yourself, too (but only if it makes you feel good and better about yourself--not because society wants you to look that way).
