Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and her movie producer husband Stephen Belafonte walked hand-in-hand down the red carpet at the AFI FEST 2009 screening of “The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” at the Chinese Theater Wednesday evening (Nov 4) in Los Angeles.

Stephen wore a blue suit made from a shiny material while Mel B opted to wear a very short and sexy black dress with fishnet stockings and black velvet pumps.

R&B crooner John Legend and his model girlfriend of over 2 years Christine Teigen were picture perfect as they arrived on the red carpet of the 14th Annual National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund’s New York Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street Thursday evening (Nov 5).

John is in the middle of working on his fourth studio album, which he revealed is more soulful than his previous albums and will be completed by the end of he year and released by mid-2010.

“It’s soulful,” he tells The Boombox. “It’s a little more retro. It’s a collection of cover songs, so that’s part of the feel of it, taking us back. We still have a bit of work to do on it, but we’ll probably finish by the end of the year and put it out by the middle of next year.”

In addition, Chris has released pictures from the “Crawl” music video, which features Cassie. You can take a look at those, along with a behind the scenes video, after the break.

Eva Marcille and Lance Gross hit up Eva’s 25th birthday celebration at EZ Studios in New York City Saturday night (Oct 31). Eva’s birthday party doubled as a Halloween party and we’re not entirely sure who Eva went as … but if we could guess, we’d say Lance went as a “Blood.”

R&B singer Toni Braxton is gearing up for the release of her sixth studio album, which is set to hit stores on February 2nd 2010. And a video for the currently untitled album’s debut single, “Yesterday,” was shot earlier this month in Los Angeles by filmmaker Bille Woodruff, who also directed a couple of Toni’s old videos (”Unbreak My Heart” and “He Wasn’t Man Enough“)

The music video for “Yesterday” will feature cameo appearances from NBA ballers Ron Artest (pictured above) and Shannon Brown, both from the Los Angeles Lakers. The video is set to premiere sometime in November, but enjoy these video stills from her official website for now.

The second single off Alicia Keys‘ upcoming album The Element of Freedom has leaked. The track is called “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” and let’s just say this one is gonna do much better than “Doesn’t Mean Anything.” And you can quote us on that! Hit the link below (or hit “play” on the player above) to check out the song for yourself.

D/L: Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart

Actor/funny man Ashton Kutcher and his wife of 4 years Demi Moore arrived together as a couple on the red carpet of the 2009 GQ Gentleman’s Ball in New York City.

The couple was happy to be boo’d up, taking pictures and all, before they made their way into the Edison Ballroom for the swanky event.

The Kardashian family went out for dinner at Katsuya Restaurant Tuesday night (Oct 27) following the Lakers vs. Clippers game in Los Angeles.

Kim, Kourtney, Scott, Khloe, Lamar and the girls’ mother Kris Jenner hit up the popular celebrity dinner joint to celebrate the Lakers’ win over the Clippers.

Singer Melanie Brown (formerly “Scary Spice” of the Spice Girls) and her husband Stephen Belafonte were boo’d up as they arrived on the red carpet of the UK premiere of the Michael Jackson “This Is It” movie at Odeon Leicester Square Tuesday night (Oct 27) in London.

Mel B’s newly toned physique has earned her some praises from gay men, and she says she’s proud to be a “gay icon.”

“I try hard with my body,” adding “I don’t look like a bloke though!”

She also recently confirmed that the Spice Girls will indeed be coming back together soon for a comeback of some sort.

“We are definitely planning something. We haven’t decided exactly what yet – but I can say it will be big.”

American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert revealed the cover for his debut album For Your Entertainment.

The album is set to hit stores November 23rd and will be going head to head with big names like Rihanna, Diddy, Timbaland and Britney Spears.

The cover definitely fits Adam and his style but we’re calling it risky because in today’s mainstream America, you don’t see many covers like this (read: he looks very androgynous in this pic). It’s a ballsy move and overall it’s just a bit too much! Hopefully this album works out well for him cause he’s got the talent.

R&B singer Usher and rapper Gucci Mane have teamed up for a new song titled “Spotlight,” which will be featured on Gucci’s The State vs. Rodric Davis album, due in December of this year. The song was produced by Polow Da Don and will be accompanied by a music video to be released soon.

With Beyonce busy touring the world and Jay-Z promoting his new album and DJ Hero video game, seeing the two of them together has become a rare occasion.

She also explained how she’s a firm believer in thoughtful tattoos with significant meaning and she mentioned the tattoos she has in memory of her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian.

Khloe writes:

Hi dolls! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend…I definitely did! Saturday night Lamar and I were eating at Sunset Plaza and I just said, “Let’s go to Tattoo Mania! I want a tattoo!” I think the best tattoo experiences are the spontaneous ones, because that way you are not only left with the tattoo, but an amazing memory to go along with it!

Here are a couple of new promo pics from Rihanna’s new album!

Ri is about a month away from releasing Rated R, her most anticipated album ever … and the industry is buzzing like crazy! Even though Rihanna chose to release a “dark” ballad instead of an upbeat club track, which surprised a lot of people, the song’s co-producer Chuck Harmony says that both the album and the song “Russian Roulette” are a reflection of Rihanna growing up and coming into her own.

Harmony told MTV News that no matter how you feel about the track, the album will prove that Rihanna is the Madonna of her generation. “I sat through mix sessions and I heard some of the songs on the record. It fits in well,” he said of “Russian Roulette.”

The song is a bit darker than some of Rihanna’s past singles, but Harmony said that isn’t indicative of the rest of the album. “I think Rihanna has captured what her old fans are used to, as well as the growth of an artist. ‘Russian Roulette,’ to me, is a shining example of her growth and her artistic expression,” he said. ” ‘Russian Roulette’ is definitely taking her to another level. I think she’s a pop icon, so her music should reflect that.”

Singer Jennifer Hudson’s son David Daniel Otunga Jr. has only been here for a little under 2 months now, but the former American Idol hopeful tells People.com that the little guy already has an ear for music! She also said that the experience of her becoming a mom is “just amazing.”

“He’s the cutest thing in the world!” she told People.com. “There are no words for it. He’s the best. It’s just amazing – us discovering each other, me becoming a mom. He seems like he’s very interested in music already. The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby,” said Hudson, who played “Let It Be Me,” her collaboration with Rod Stewart, to calm her son. “Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!”

J-Hud will also host ABC’s holiday music special, “Jennifer Hudson: I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The one-hour special will follow Jennifer around as she relives her childhood Christmases with musical performances shot on location at the small neighborhood church where she brought the congregation to its feet week after week; the music academy where she studied; and other Chicago sites.”

It seems like this year is turning into a special one for Jennifer and her family. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person!

Continue reading for more of Jennifer’s interview with People, where they go more in depth about the pregnancy and the actual delivery of the baby.

How hard was it keeping your pregnancy under wraps?
“David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”

Hip-hop mogul Diddy and his son Christian were spotted as they left the movies Saturday (Sep 26) in Los Angeles, CA following the premiere of the Lebron James documentary/movie “More Than A Game.”

It was recently announced that Diddy has decided to leave Warner Music Group after 5 years.

The rapper’s 2006 record Press Play was the only album he released during his exclusive deal with Warner Music Group/Atlantic Records – set to end in a matter of days. His Bad Boy music label will remain in place at the company – but Combs admits he is looking forward to putting out new material as a solo artist through an as-yet-undisclosed venture.

He says, “Now that the term of the Warner deal has ended, I have elected to accept an opportunity to move my recording career and future label venture to another company.” A WMG spokesman and a Warner Bros. Records spokeswoman had no comment.

R&B singer/songwriter John Legend and his model girlfriend Christine Teigen went out for lunch Wednesday afternoon (Sep 23) in the Soho district of New York City. After their meal, John took the couple’s bulldog out for a short walk.

Project Sunshine, a nonprofit that provides free educational, recreational and social programs to hospitalized children, recently held a benefit in New York City’s Nikki Beach on the Upper East Side. John performed at the event due to Christine’s involvement.

John: “My girlfriend Christine is very involved with Project Sunshine. She’s a volunteer and she helped organize this event and if I didn’t want to get kicked out of bed I had to be here tonight.”

Christine: “I clearly see John doing so much stuff with charity work and everything and when you’re around him so often you start to feel like you’re not doing anything. We wanted to make it a night of fashion and of art and music. The fashion show tied in with the fact that we had these amazing designers that wanted to be involved with Project Sunshine so much that they donated to the gift bags and with auction items as well.”

The ladies of the Real Housewives of Atlanta were given the opportunity to do their own individual alter ego photo shoots by one of ATL’s hottest photographers Derek Blanks, and the photos were revealed on last night’s episode of the Bravo reality series. The idea for everyone’s concepts came straight from NeNe who did a damn good job of matching everyone up with the right personalities.

Kim’s alter ego was a housewife and a mistress, which is a perfect fit for her since she really is messing around with someone else’s husband in real life (that Big Poppa dude). NeNe’s alter ego as a Magic City stripper also matched up to her own real life experience, because she wrote about taking her clothes off and dancing for dollars in her new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice.” Sheree’s split personality involved a bank robber and an innocent bystander at an ATM because well, Sheree likes money.

Out of everyone’s shoot, Lisa’s had to be the funniest and Kandi’s was the saddest. Lisa was portrayed as a “gangsta boo” (NeNe’s words, not ours) slash “biker chick” who knocked a cute little girl scout off of her bicycle and tried to steal her cookies. And Kandi played a careless (and emotional) alcoholic who decided to drink and drive and ended up running into someone, which also hits home for her because her ex fiancee’s nephew ended up in intensive care for over a month earlier this year following a head on collision involving drunk driving.

In all, everyone’s shoots turned out great! The ladies definitely played their parts well and the camera showed a lot of love to them

Diddy and Cassie, our favorite unconfirmed couple, were spotted as they made their rounds in uptown New York City Monday morning (Sep 14). When Diddy noticed the flashing lights approaching him and his girl, he tried to cover up his face before the two decided to split up and go in separate directions.

What a way to evade those rumors guys … not! Everybody knows you two are smashing. No point in hiding it now!

Word on the rumormill is that Christina Milian is pregnant with her first child! She and The Dream got married a couple of weeks ago at one of those Las Vegas wedding chapels, and a source tells US Magazine that marriage was always going to happen … but the pregnancy wasn’t planned.

“The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless,” a source tells Us. Milian has already been talking about children. “Of course, I would love to have kids,” she told Us earlier this summer at the premiere of Bring It On: Fight to the Finish in NYC. “I think that’s some of the reasons why I do movies like this.”

Even The-Dream (real name: Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash) — who proposed to Milian with a six-carat sparkler from Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line — has been talking about a family. “I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do,” he told Us in July. “She’ll make that time [to have a baby]. In the next couple of years, there’ll be something around.”

The newlyweds had a private ceremony Sunday (Sep 13) at the Hilton Hotel in Rome, Italy following their shotgun wedding in Vegas. Only close friends and family were invited to the wedding in Italy though. And friends/family who couldn’t make the trip to Rome will be invited to the renewal of their vows this time next year when the expecting parents celebrate their first anniversary.

Damn is everybody trying to go short these days?! After rocking braids for so long, Brandy decided to change up her look and wear long, straight hair back in 2002 when she released her third studio album, Full Moon. Now, fast forward to 2009 and the 30-year-old R&B singer has either cut her hair or got one of those short wigs, like Ciara (we’re not hair experts so we have no idea). And here’s a first look at her new ‘do via a picture she released on her Twitter Saturday morning. We’re still not sure whether or not we’re feeling it so we’re going to save our judgment until she shows us more angles. But it doesn’t look too bad from the side…

It looks like Khloe Kardashian and her boyfriend Los Angeles Lakers Forward Lamar Odom might be getting serious! The new couple and Khloe’s mom Kris Jenner had dinner Saturday night (Sep 5) at BOA restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Khloe and Lamar, who met at a party hosted by Lamar’s teammate Ron Artest a few weeks ago, were also spotted Thursday night (Sep 3) as they left Beverly Hills’ STK restaurant, along with Khloe’s younger brother Rob. The Kardashian family must really like this one!

Everybody called the outing Scott’s a “man shower,” the equivalent to a “baby shower.”

Melanie Brown and her husband of over two years Stephen Belafonte were spotted by the British paparazzi making their rounds in London Thursday afternoon (Sep 3).

In related news, the former Spice Girl has revealed that Playboy Magazine wants her to pose nude after they saw her pop out of a giant cake at Ultimo’s 10th anniversary celebration earlier this week, but she turned them down and only plans on doing it she feels “the time is right.”

She told British newspaper The Sun: “I’ve turned it down four or five times now.They’re offering me a ridiculous amount of money to do it, so that’s not the problem. I’m just not ready to do it. But I’ll definitely consider it in the future, when I feel the time’s right.”

Christina Milian and her fiance The Dream were spotted hand-in-hand as they made their rounds Friday (Aug 28) in New York City. The two soon-to-be newlyweds were also spotted inside of American Apparel shopping for some new extra smedium outfits to add to The Dream’s collection.

Here’s Beyonce’s new L’Oreal ad for the 2009 Holiday season. No need to say how beautiful or how hot she looks in the ad. That’s just so redundant :-D Beyonce has been with the cosmetics company since 2004 and her 5-year deal is worth close to $5 million, which is great considering she only has to work 10 days a year. That amounts up to about $125,000 for one day of work!

Anyway, according to “Project Runway” contestant Chris March’s attorneys, Beyonce is NOT the one who owes him money. Chris, the third runner-up in the fourth season of hit fashion reality show, is actually suing the singer’s designer Thierry Mugler, who served as the creative adviser for her critically acclaimed “I Am…” tour, after he and his company, Tancrede Prinz, LLC, failed to pay him for the extravagant stage costumes he helped make, reports Coco Perez.

“Chris March’s lawsuit is not against Beyonce, but rather against Thierry Mugler and Tancrede Prinz, who owe Chris money for having designed and fitted Beyonce’s costumes. Beyonce paid them, but they in turn have not paid Chris. Chris continues to be a fan and great admirer of Beyonce who looks beautiful in everything she wears, especially Chris’s costumes.”

It looks like Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys aren’t hiding their love anymore. The pair was spotted enjoying each other’s company during a romantic evening at the VIP club Wednesday night (Aug 26) in St. Tropez, France, and even though neither one of them have officially put out that they’re “dating,” we believe these pictures pretty much speak for themselves. Don’t you think? Though we can’t help wonder what his soon-to-be ex wife Mashonda thinks about all of this…

The album was originally slated to be released on August 25th, but due to the fact that the artwork and the album’s other illustrations weren’t done in time, Cudi and his label had no choice but to push it back a couple of weeks, which means that the project will not be eligible for a Grammy Award (the cut-off date is Aug 31). This also means that it will compete with Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 in album sales, which is set to be released 4 days prior on September 11th.

Check out the cover for the DVD deluxe edition after the cut!
