Jan 31st
Beyonce performed an interesting rendition of “If I Were A Boy” and incorporated a cover of Alanis Morissette’s “You Ought To Know,” to add an element of spice and life. Beyonce definitely channelled her idol Tina Turner and gave a good performance (although it must be said I am rarely disappointed, call me a STAN and I don’t care!)

Sphere: Related ContentKanye & Amber Are PETA’s “Ugliest Things”
Jan 25th
Kelis at Sundance Film Festival, Kanye & Amber at Paris Fashion Week, all of the above are getting their “glorious” fur on, and PETA ain’t happy! Since PETA and Kelis had their tug of war recently, now it’s KAmber’s turn to get the red-blood treatment. (I told you PETA was coming for Kanye& Amber!) Peep what the folks over at PETA had to say on their blog:
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
. . .
We’ll buy a lot of clothes but we don’t really need ‘em
Things we buy to cover up what’s inside—Kanye West, “All Falls Down“
West apparently lives by his lyrics. The ethical dropout—who horrified voters in PETA’s Worst-Dressed Celebrity competition last year—and his sleazy sidekick, Amber Rose, were snapped by paparazzi strutting around Paris in “the ugliest things,” indeed. Both were wearing head-to-toe fur, and Amber refused to remove her full-length lynx coat during a show at Paris Men’s Fashion Week.

On her best music:
“I know that my niche is anthems, and I think that’s what I’m good at as far as songwriting,” she says about the type of music that has made her famous. “Probably the best songs I write are about relationships, and flipping the roles between women and men, and things that women go through. Growing up in a female group and in a hair salon, I have always been passionate about women. I just think we need each other, and the things that inspire me to write songs are things that I think women need to hear. I’m happy to be a voice, one of the many. I’m happy to be, in some way, a role model.
On her hair
“I remember when I started doing my hair myself—I cut bangs, and I started curling my hair and pressing it, literally, with an iron,” she says with a laugh. “The girls from Destiny’s Child, we would put our hair on the ironing board, and iron it, which is so crazy! My mom [who used to own a hair salon] was like, ‘We have to get you out of your own hair, because you are destroying it!’”
On her new fragrance:
She has fond memories of the power of fragrance, thanks to her mother. “I grew up with my mother walking past, and you could smell the faint scent of her fragrance—it always gave me this sense of comfort. I just thought it was so beautiful that she would walk by and leave her scent.”

Trey Songz Covers Honey Mag January Issue (Photos)
Dec 22nd
Trey Songz covers the January issue of Honey Magazine, and he talks about his future, R. Kelly, his show energy and twitter. He’s a taste of what Mr. Invented Sex had to say:
On His Future:
It’s all forward progression. It’s only forward for me. If forward is bigger, better records — most definitely that. But, within moving forward, I plan to further establish my non-profit organization, Songz For Peace and touch people more. Do something with what I’ve taken in with my popularity, with my celebrity, as well as make records that touch people. I’ve got everyone’s attention now. There’s more people watching now.
On His Show Energy:
How do you bring the energy?
I mean it’s through the passion I put into it — from when I step on stage, to the faces I make to get the notes out, to my band, to the way the crowd feels. It’s almost as if I am acting out on a lot of the records and I urge myself to get better at it. I am a showman and I hope to display better showmanship as I grow. Pressure to dance? No.
On Being Compared to R.Kelly:
That comes from me listening to so much R. Kelly. Before I was even thinking to pursue music I would only listen to R. Kelly. That comes from me studying his music. Sometimes our tones are similar and sometimes the inflections I make with my voice is something that he would do, just because it’s my subconscious. And that’s not something that I try to do, it’s just something that is just there. To be compared to who I feel is the King of R&B has never been an insult. I’ve been compared to R. Kelly since my first album.
Have you heard his latest one? What do you think of it?
I think it’s good. I don’t think it’s great. I don’t think it’s amazing. It’s better than the last few albums he’s put out. He has some great records on there. I know I like six off top that I know all the words to right now.
Would you do a collaboration with him?
Most definitely.
