Another week in Celebville.....

G’day everyone,

I dunno if it’s just me but, these weeks are just rolling by!!!
Before you know it, Christmas will be upon us man – dang!

Anyhoo put the pram away, what’s been happening in Celebville this week?

Ok, it seems Ms Jackson is still not as right as rain.
Apparently she has postponed more shows and has been ordered by the doctors, to return home to recuperate!
Fans have been told to hold on to their tickets as the shows that have been postponed will be rescheduled at a later date.

Janet’s camp have still not confirmed details of her illness but it seems the whole exclusive interview with her brother Randy, never actually happened.
A Santa Barbara based firm have denied the interview and claim Randy would not have spoken publicly about the health of his sister or the reasons for the cancellation of her shows!

Whatever the story, however it goes, once again – here’s hoping Janet makes a full recovery, sooner rather than later.

Its not just Andre 3000 making waves with a new range, Russell Simmons is lapping up some of the credit too!
Russell has very recently introduced a new menswear collection at a fashion show held at South Beach, Florida.
The collection is aimed at the 25 and over urban crowd with an aim to reach out to guys that are not ‘young’ boys anymore but still want to be a part of the urban lifestyle.
The collection featured pinstriped shorts, free flowing jackets and sporty suits – to name but a few.
The show (as expected), attracted various celebs, including Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson!
Sounds like a good look – guys, if you are over 25, remember this one is for you!

If you are a Wu Tang Clan fan…. Gimme a Wu Tang, Wu Tang, Wuuuuuuuu Tang lol

Nah on the reals, the Wu will be hitting the airwaves real soon.
BET have scheduled to air a documentary about the rise of the ‘Clan’ just 5 days before it is actually released on DVD!
The documentary will be aired several times between 13 and 16th November and then, more screenings will be aired in December in line with an appearance on BET’s 106& Park.
So, if you are a ‘Wu’ head, mark that in the diary and remember on November 18th, a CD that accompanies the DVD will be released. The CD will feature a combination of Wu hits and tracks from the individual Wu artists’ solo albums – definitely one for the collection – hold tight!

Enjoyed Tha Carter III?
Well, brace yourself for Tha Carter IV!
Lil Wayne has revealed he is already working on the follow up to Tha Carter III….does this man sleep? The blimmin album only dropped in May????!

Anyways, before y’all have the pleasure of the 4th instalment a new mix tape will be available first.
The mix tape will apparently fall under DJ Dramas ‘Gangsta Grillz’ series.

If you think that’s work…check this – he is also working on a duet album with T Pain!
The collaboration is tipped to be available in 2009 (2009 is not even 3 months away – sleeeeeeeep lol)

Just for your information, according to Nielsen Soundscan, Tha Carter III is the best selling album of 2008 and has shifted 2.5 million copies in the US alone!!!

Big props to Lil Wayne huh….pop dem bottles homie!

All Independent women and Soldiers, this ones for you…
Beyonce is plotting a massive return.
Apparently she has recorded well over 70 songs to choose from for her new album.
She said ‘I have created a sound that reveals all of me’.

According to her official website, the album is due around 18th November although no title or final track listing has been decided.

The first 2 singles have been released and she will be performing one of them on 6th November as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool.

So, if you are a Beyonce fan, it’s all good aye….

Remember to keep an eye out for her new singles, ‘If I were a boy’ and ‘Single Ladies’.

Ushers camp has had to do some quick talking.
As you may know, Usher’s upcoming tour is titled ‘One Night Stand: Ladies Only’ – this seems to have caused a little bit of confusion.
Some guys have been under the impression they will be turned away at the door – well this is NOT the case!
A rep from Jive records clarifies that yes, ladies are the focus of the tour but men are more than welcome to attend!
Lol – could you imagine that – a concert with Ladies only????
I’m sure Ursh’s wife would have something to say about that!!!!
--------------

Speaking of ladies (guys, your moment), Esquire magazine has officially crowned, Halle Berry the sexiest woman alive and will appear on the cover of its upcoming November issue.
The issue itself will feature a photo spread of Halle in various white tank tops!
Why white, I hear you ask…….beats me too!
Anyways, Halle has declared that ‘sexiness is a state of mind’….and feels honoured to be given such a title at age 42 and after recently giving birth to a baby.
Halle, is so gracious isn’t she, she seems just as beautiful inside – go head gurl – 42 and canning it, can’t be bad eh?? LOL
--------------

It’s not all la la in Chez Lopez this week, apparently an article scrapped by Elle magazine for being ‘too’ personal, has wound up on the wonderful worldwide web!!!!

The description given of JLo during the interview was not a good one. She was described as having ‘unwashed hair pulled severely back (Croydon face lift style), with a halo of frizz around the crown of her head’!
Halo of frizz???????????? WTF!

JLo apparently confesses to not breast feeding and says she is willing to put her kids in Scientology classes!
The main ‘thing’ in the article was, JLo supposedly admitted to having a nervous breakdown during the filming of ‘Enough’.

She was quoted to have said the following; ‘There were no signs leading up to it. I asked if I could go home because I was feeling sick and weird. I kept saying, ‘I am not weak’. The doctor told me to go back to work because the longer I waited I would get more panicked about working. I’ve still never been to a shrink; I am not a shrinky person’.

All I can say is WOW!
It seems, some people get it terribly twisted huh ?
Lets hope, the fact that La Lopez is not a ‘shrinky’ person, does not come back to haunt her in later life.

Remember, the mind is like scales balancing, all it takes is a little extra unexpected weight before it tips…..

Of course, not wishing that on anyone – might I add!

And on that note, I think I would like to add, the following motivational quote….

‘Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape’!

Well that’s it from me for now, think I'll go and stuff my face with something good to eat (no puns please) lol
