Toni Braxton may have had to close her Las Vegas stage show due to her heart problems but that doesn’t mean she has to stop performing completely. The petite R&B crooner has been confirmed to be part of the new season of Dancing with the Stars. It’s good to know that she’s gotten her health back to the point where she can compete on the show. The exercise she’s going to get from all those dancing practices should also do her some good. And of course, those sympathy votes aren’t going to hurt either. How long do you think she can milk her health problems for votes?

His mother died of unfortunate circumstances due to a combination of surgeries late last year but Kanye West managed to go on with the show and sing about ‘The Good Life’ when he performed at a New Year’s Eve party at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. It was the rapper’s first ever performance back in the US since his mother’s passing last year.

The pumped up rapper performed just after midnight at the Vegas hotel’s Pearl Concert Theater early Tuesday morning. He pretty much rocked the crowd into a frenzy as confetti and balloons rained down from the ceiling.

Much like a lot of celebrity moms in the past year, an official announcement has yet to be made but it’s quite obvious that Robin Thicke’s wife is pregnant. Actress Paula Patton was sporting a huge baby bump at a New Year’s Eve party that the couple attended. The R&B singer and his wife joined dad, ‘Growing Pains’ star Alan Thick at a Las Vegas bash.

Rumors have been swimming around for months that she was carrying a child since she showed a hint of a bump at the VMAs. That’s pretty much confirmed now. This is the first child for Robin and Paula. Congratulations!

If you have a hangover because of too much partying, don’t worry you’re not alone. Champagne just gives you the worst hangover, eh? Mariah Carey can’t get enough of the stuff though. The singer along with her banging body in a tight white dress celebrated New Year’s at Tao in Las Vegas.

I’m just thinking that she may have had a little too much bubbly though. Because when it came time to help count down to the New Year, she was a few seconds off. She was still counting down even after the clock behind her struck midnight already. Happy 30 seconds after New Year’s everyone!

Ivy Queen is a Latin Grammy-nominated singer who is also known as the Queen of Reggaeton. And apparently, she’s also well known for going to nail salons.

She’s sure to be the envy of Staten Island secretaries with her new nails as the 35-year old Puerto Rican singer showed up to a Latin Grammy event in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday sporting a flamboyant manicure that is a cross between bling and Freddy Kreuger. It’s a nightmare I tell you!

Honestly, I don’t know what her music sounds like but hopefully, there are no nails-to-a-chalkboard comparisons. Here’s to hoping that it sounds better.

Public image is vital to pop stars, but few stars have been so inextricably tied to their image as Britney Spears. Think back to “…Baby One More Time” — it has an indelible hook. Every one of Britney’s hits had an accompanying image, as she relied on her carefully sculpted sexpot-next-door persona as much as she did on her records, but what happens when the image turns sour, as it certainly did for Britney in the years following the release of In the Zone?

Emotionally, this isn’t a progression from In the Zone, but it is a cannily contemporary dance album, sounding nearly as fresh as Rihanna and JT, even if it’s hardly as trend-setting as either. Those producers turn Blackout into a sleek, shiny collection of 12 guiltily addictive dance tracks where the only weak link is Britney herself.

Blackout is state-of-the-art dance-pop, a testament to the skills of the producers and perhaps even Britney being somehow cognizant enough to realize she should hire the best, even if she’s not at her best.

Now that he has been proved this chaps just going keep running his point over and over again till we damn kick his ass and tell him that it’s been six months since the VMAs have been over. He might have been right that Britney will prove to be a failure at the MTV awards but that doesn’t mean he is some kind of messiah knows what’s going to be the Britney Spears performance and other things too, then he would have known that Kanye West wasn’t going to win in any of the five categories. So we all know he is not a messiah. Britney tired to get it right but she couldn’t, she is just a human trying to get it right all over again, she might not succeed but at least she’s tired to success, you these morons who think she finished and a waste need to take a closer look at themselves at see if they have ever achieved even a fraction of the success that Britney has. Mr. Timbaland good for you that you’ve been able to get a prediction right, but the same could happen to you.

Shakira already knows how to put out a hit record – but now she’s tackling an even bigger subject: the history of western civilization. Isn’t this piece of news something so different from what we all have being listening, viewing, reading for so many days now. News of the MTV VMAs where singers just boozed, parties, broke relations, fought with each other, gave bad performances bla bla bla. With so much happening isn’t it so cool of Shakira to sit down and learn something that’s worthy of a mention. While everyone else has been at the beach, the MTV Awards and the Emmys, Shakira’s been studying History of Western Civilization all summer at UCLA. I think this is absolutely cool thing that she has enrolled herself into, instead of wasting time and energy of wasteful matter she’s decide that there is time for better things in life and she is utilizing that time for something good, babes you rock!

Britney Spears spent her weekend in Las Vegas, where she has been rehearsing her performance for the MTV VMA’s on September 9th. According to sources, Britney spent all day Friday rehearsing and then that night she went and partied with P. Diddy at Pure nightclub. Hey, now that’s what I like, you work and like Britney rehearsed all day and then when work is done for the day you party hard as well to enjoy and celebrate the day’s work. That’s the culture I have been brought up on and that’s the way I think it should be. No work just partying all the time and killing life without doing anything meaningful and substantial is worthless fun. I’m really looking forward to the MTV VMA’s tomorrow. While I don’t really ever watch MTV and I dislike the majority of the type of people who will be there, I really want to see Britney’s performance.
