Justin Timberlake alongside the show’s celeb host Paul Rudd and SNL regular Andy Samberg popped up in a parody for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” music video last night on “Saturday Night Live.” The hilarity and comedic timing between JT and Beyonce made it a great TV moment.

Michelle Obama wore a yellow $337.00 J.Crew ensemble for her appearance on “Tonight Show With Jay Leno” last night. Michelle admitted that she picked up her outfit while shopping online. Via fashion blog, Mrs. O, you can check the below photo collage (that I made) for what Michelle exactly wore.
Much fuss was made about Governor Sarah Palin’s $150,000 outfits. The Associated Press wrapped up the discussion of Michelle’s outfit as follows…
No $150,000 wardrobe malfunctions for Michelle Obama.
“Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble,” the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told comedian Jay Leno on Monday on his talk show. She wore a yellow sweater, skirt and blouse ensemble.
“You can get some good stuff online,” she added.
Questioned by Leno, the potential first lady declined to criticize GOP vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin about revelations that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 at Neiman Marcus and other high-end retailers on clothes and accessories for Palin and her family.
Obama said she and her husband have a policy of spending their own money on their clothes. But she said she wanted to be “empathetic.”
“A V.P. pick, it’s like being shot out of a cannon. All of a sudden you’re at the center of attention, and you want to look good,” said Michelle Obama, adding she has never met Palin. “You’re living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you’re on the national stage and everyone’s watching.” [READ MORE...]

Toni Braxton, who by the way just turn 42, was seen in a Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress at the Spirit of Life Award dinner looking great and not a day over 25! Toni certainly loves Mr. Leger’s designs because she was in this Amelie One Shoulder Double Strap Dress by Hervé Léger back in April.
Anyone else rooting for her to win this season of “Dancing With The Stars”?! Check out Toni’s Samba performance from this Monday with her partner Alec Mazo.

Yesterday, Beyonce Knowles visited MTV’s TRL to debut her new videos. The singer was sporting a very natural, but sexy look, and even posed for the photogs as she exited MTV Studios.
Sasha Fierce Beyonce will be performing on the last episode of TRL, “Total Finale Live,” which airs November 17th at 8p.m.
In other B news, FOX is reporting that Beyonce stole her single, “If I Were a Boy” from an unknown artist. Head to Quick’s Catch Up to read about the drama.

I should have posted this Friday, so I could find out if any of you watched the series sneak peek during half time at the Super bowl. Well, If you missed it don’t worry you will have plenty of opportunities. From the clip it looks pretty entertaining, and since I am officially giving up the “Love” series on VH1, I should watch something more positive and representational of black love. Anyway, here is a sneak peak of the series, Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love.
Update: Sorry I should have posted this 2 days ago, but here is the trailer for A Raisin in the Sun.

A Raisin In The Sun
[/coolplayer]
I found these pictured at Wooohah.com, a hip-hop blog via Real Gossip 101. When I read the cast I became so excited, no not because Diddy is in the movie, but because Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad are. Audra McDonald has one of the most amazing voices on broadway, and has broken the color line by being cast in leading roles that were traditionally played by whites. I just admire Phylicia Rashad; she is the epitome of class. The movie also stars Sanna Lathan, John Stamos, and Sean Patrick Thomas. This movie boasts quite an accomplish cast, so don’t you miss it.
According to Wooohah.com, A Raisin In The Sun will air directly on ABC on February 25, 2008.

Performances
I was trying to find out what was going on with my boy Larenz Tate when I came across this photo of him, his wife Tomasina, and son Miles Xavier at Concreteloop.
Anyway I have good news, Larenz Tate has a role in the pilot of new cop series on NBC titled Blue Blood. According to EURweb, “Larenz Tate is set to play a character named Andre. It will mark his first network gig since CBS’ short-lived comedy Love Monkey. The actor currently has a recurring role on the FX cable series Rescue Me.
Sometimes you assume things about people without knowing who they really are. When Keyshia Cole first came out I thought to myself not another attitude, but when you learn about her past, you realize that attitude is part of coping and surviving an insane environment. I hope she continues to succeed and not become self-destructive. I like Keyshia Cole and I love her voice, although some people think she can’t sing. You either love her style or hate it. If you haven’t seen her BET reality show then you definitely need to take some time to watch this clip from Tyra.
Alicia Keys has been looking amazing these days. I don’t know if shehas a new stylist, but there is definitely an improvement. She has always been a beautiful girl with a beautiful spirit, but now she seems to glow. Check out her new video in the post below:
I am probably the least excited by this album, and quite frankly Ashanti only had one good song in my opinion, and that was Foolish. However, since Irv Gotti called her fat during an interview with Wendy Williams show, Ashanti has been looking quite classy and thin. I think his words must have hit close to home because in a matter of days, her appearance changed.
Courtesy of MTV:
“With time running out Diddy announces the band, “Ya’ll ready to make the band?” The band is: Robert, Brian A., Willie, Qwanell, and last but not least, [Big] Mike! But-but-but wait there’s more. Diddy makes a special announcement: Donnie will be a solo artist on Bad Boy. The new Bad Boy artists react with excitement and tears.”
MG Says: Honestly, I had six favorites and all of them won with the exception of Brian H. Sorry, Robert I wouldn’t have picked you over Brian H. Donnie got the best gift of all, a solo deal. That’s more exciting than making a band, that’s a dream coming true.
Alicia Keys is such a lovely person. I won’t say anything bad about her because she’s a great example of what Hollywood Role Models should be. I’m not a big fan or her music, but at least she brings something innovative to the pop scene. I also love the blue jean jumper on her.

Tempest Bledsoe (Vanessa Huxtable of The Cosby Show) is set to join the British reality series I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. Other celebrities will include The Sopranos star Steve Schrirripa, Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and former supermodel Janice Dickinson.

Akon reveals, “What it is, I have two of my brothers, and if you see them they look exactly like me. Whenever I’m not in Atlanta, they go out posing as me and everyone believes it’s actually me. It’s so crazy, because everyone seriously believes it’s me. ”
And ladies, he also admits, “”They are going around getting VIP treatment, girls, free food at restaurants, free everything and everybody is falling for it…”They get my life, all the perks without having to put in all the hard work I do.
