Rihanna kicked off the “TODAY Show”‘s Summer Concert Series this morning at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. She got LOUD with four of her tracks: “S&M,” “Only Girl In The World,” “What’s My Name,” and “California King Bed.” Ri rocked black panties and fishnets and a black and blue striped midriff baring sweater for her performances.

Lil Wayne Drops an R&B Joint *Listen Here*

Weezy with his most recent arm piece

I never thought I would hear Weezy sing, or not rap on a track. I actually love the lyrics in this song and the beat is super catchy. I showed one of my male friends this track and they were not too fond of it. Maybe it’s because I’m a girl, or I can relate to the song, I’m not sure. All I know is that I’m feeling this joint. What do YOU think? Hit the PLAY button below!

Vanessa’s Tip of the Week: The Dark Side of Diet Soda

As you may recall, I mentioned as a part of “My Super Sweet 15″ Challenge that my personal trainer, Vanessa, will be providing you all with some really useful advice regarding diet and fitness every other week. This week’s tip is related to diet - keep reading below!

Myth Buster #1: DIET soda is better for you that REGULAR soda

Reality: It may lead to weight gain

Vanessa says …

Just because diet soda is low in calories, that doesn’t mean it cannot lead to weight gain. It may have only 5 or fewer calories per serving, but research suggests that consuming sugary-tasting beverages—even if they’re artificially sweetened—may lead to a high preference for sweetness overall. That means sweeter (and more caloric) cereal, bread, dessert—everything. In fact, new research found that people who drink diet soda on a daily basis have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. These days, the world of food is full of nasty surprises like this one, and knowledge is power.

Alternatives: Water, water, and more water! Add a lemon or cucumber slice for flavor. Fresh brewed (NOT bottled) green tea with a teaspoon of Raw Sugar is another great choice. Drink it hot or pour it over ice. I realize that it’s not easy to replace that sweet bubbly stuff! If you’re a heavy pop drinker, start by weaning yourself off by reducing the number of cans/glasses you drink per day. Before you know it, drinking soda will be a thing of the past!

Thanks for the tip Vanessa! This tip completely speaks to me and I’ve been trying to decrease my diet soda intake to 2 cans a week versus 4. It is hard because like you said, I love the sweet bubbly stuff. Replacing my cravings with sweet green tea helps alot. See you tonight so you can kick my butt =)

Kim Kardashian is Engaged!

TooFab has confirmed that Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are engaged. 

Kris popped the question on May 18 at Kim’s Beverly Hills home, where he was waiting in the bedroom with “Will You Marry Me?” written in rose petals. She said “Yes.”

The 26-year-old forward for the New Jersey Nets proposed with a 20.5-carat custom-designed Lorraine Schwartz ring, telling PEOPLE “I just knew I wanted it to be big.” FYI — sister Khloe’s ring from Lamar Odom is reportedly 9-carats.

Of the engagement, 30-year-old Kim says “I didn’t expect this at all. I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.”

The two started dating only six months ago after meeting in November. Kim dated Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel Aubry, at the same time — but broke it off with Gabriel to continue seeing Kris. This will be Kim’s second marriage. She was previously married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000-2004.

Rick Ross is “Too Sexy for His Shirt” (Covers Vibe Mag)

Does Rick Ross define SEXY to you? Vibe Magazine has chosen the BAWSE as it’s cover subject for the upcoming Sexy Issue which hits news stands next month. Vibe writes:

YOU DON’T REALIZE how colossal Rick Ross is until he removes his white Tee. It’s startling. Six feet of portly tattooed excess, his drooping pecs flexing as he hulks through the Danish contemporary SoHo furniture store BoConcept. Rozay is shooting his first solo VIBE cover—the sexy issue, no less—and a memo from Captain Conspicuous reads that Ross is not the conventional poster child for the cause. He doesn’t sing bra-popping hooks like Trey Songz or lyrically pander and pucker to women like Drake. But the Miami native wears a quiet confidence that shouts at anyone within earshot, seemingly lessons from the Christopher Wallace school of swag.

Check out a Q&A with Rick Ross and Angela Yee over at Vibe!
