By all accounts, Kelis’ Milkshake definitely still brings Nas to the yard, but, these days, I think that’s about it. Jive Records just dropped her because, her manager said, she’s misunderstood. Funny, I thought it was just because she wasn’t making any money.

Her manager Jeff Rabhan says, “It was a case of being in the ever-shrinking world of the record industry and finding herself on a label she wasn’t signed to and without a champion. “She’s a different kind of artist - very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.”

I like Kelis and Nas, both as individuals and as a couple. But between Kelis not having a label and Nas’ controversial new album (and possible flop-in-the-making), I’m thinking that pretty soon it won’t be too hard to keep up with the Joneses.

For someone who manages to look a mess consistently, her photo shoots are PERFECTION. Still, you’ve gotta give it to her (or her dermatologist) on the flawless skin. She needs a good bra though.

Oh and I love Kelis and Nas. They are both very easy on the eyes.

Maybe she’s growing her hair back. It looks good quite short or long, but this growing stage is not cute. She should either figure out something cute to do with it or get extensions while it grows.

I like her. Her Tasty album was hot. She’s different, but maybe a little too different for ppl who are used to the sexbots (Bey, Rih, Ciara, etc).

Luv ‘em both. But bmd is right Kelis’s too different. HUGE in Europe tho and has been since Kaleidascope. But our country (eventho we say we’re all about being “individuals”) prefers pre-fab performers, straight outta da box.

They need to breed. They’ll make some beautiful babies. It can’t go wrong because there are no potentially disastrous outcomes (Brangelina shouldn’t have another kid biologically because a boy could ruin their cute family thing. See Angelina Jolie’s brother).

I should be a eugenicist. Really though, those would be some cute kids. It’s probably wrong to talk about a child, but his daughter is kinda meh.

Virtually every artist nowadays is image- and style-driven–that’s how folks like Cassie got careers. That sounds like a euphemism for saying she hasn’t got any real musical talent.

I thought Cassie got her “career” by doing something else?

Uh, well Kelis’ style and image seems to be her own, not one crafted by a team of record execs. Cassie doesn’t have an image or a style of her own. She made a song that was good to listen to while working out and she got to do that from doing Diddy.

she can come join my label, it’s called: SIT YO ASS DOWN, INC. we already have a few artist signed, like JAY-Z, LL COOL J, COOLIO, NAS, AND 50 CENT. i think she’d fit in nicely wiht our organization!

1. Love Kelis (I even got her second album Wanderland imported)!
2. I’m tired of the “models/just cute girls” (who we’ve never seen model–kinda like Eddie’s 1st wife)trying to sing. Stop it.
3. I’m distraught over Ciara playing the lead in “Mama, I Want to Sing” b/c I’m old enough to remember the musical and you need to be able to SANG to play that role. She could rock it if it was called “Mama, I Want to Dance” but that title might conjure up other ideas of ahem, dancing.
4. Brangelina should not have any more biological kids cuz that first one looks a confused mess–she always has that “duh” look on her face. Always. I don’t get the craze over them–I never thought Pitt was fine (back when he dated Robin Givens or since) and look at Angelina a few years ago–a HAM, personified! Nobody was checking for her or calling her hot then….only when she started screwing all her co-stars (male and female).

No. 12 daria says:

Those models/just cute girls don’t sell albums. Everyone can go into a frenzy over Cassie’s bikini pictures but no one is checking for her album.

I’m just not a Ciara fan. I started getting into her music when her last album dropped but that quickly faded. She can dance, yeah, but I’m not going to see anything she’s doing. I just don’t like looking at her.

Really, no one cares if kids are stupid (or look stupid/confused) as long as they’re cute.

Angelina screwed two of her male co-stars and married both. She’s apparently only been with four men which I believe. I actually thought she looked best in Girl, Interrupted before anyone knew who she was. She looked nice but yeah, she was a mess but it’s good that she got all that out of her system instead of people like Britney who have kids before their quarter life crisis. She’s definitely been with a lot of women, but I think in her case, people confuse her having lots of sex with promiscuity. She only recently got handlers but before, there was just TMI. Celebrities need handlers.

I thought Brad was pretty but I didn’t want him. Now that he’s aging, I’m actually starting to find him sexy but it might just be the kids. There’s something so sexy about an involved father in action.

Daria–you are cool but are you kidding me? You actually believe the lies she’s been telling? She said she screwed only two and married both but her past interviews disprove this greatly. Like she didn’t have any type of “relations” with Brad when they made the spy movie. Sure….I admired her before when she didn’t seem to care if people knew she had multiple lovers, wore blood and carved herself. At least she was more believable. She was out there and seemed to not be ashamed of it and now she’s posing like an almost nice girl…come ON, Angie!
I never said the kid was stupid. I mean she just looks “lost” and without any expression most of the time. I think kids with personality are cuter–like that little Zahara who smiles, laughs, and gives the wth? face when the paparazzi are stalking the fam. Maddox is a cute little booger too with his little swagger. I gotta get back to work (at least for a few minutes-lol) but I just wanted to clear that up. Can’t be thought of as someone who calls babies stupid and stuff. Karma and all that jazz….:) L8r

No. 14 daria says:

“Lovers” doesn’t mean male lovers. According to her long-time on and off girl friend (a Japanese-American model), she’s a lesbian, not a bisexual. Obviously, someone who’s been in her bed would probably know her business. She’s been linked to a bunch of male co-stars when she was with the model. You don’t find it funny that she used the term “lovers”?
