Celebrity Style: Tierra Marie

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Tierra Marie is about to blow up the music scene. We said that in 2007, but in 2010, we mean it. She's got some competition, and a few naysayers (but so did J.C.), but we're confident she can make her mark (or be part of a nasty supergroup). Or rock fierce outfits. Either will d...

Best of 09: Rihanna dominated the news

Thursday, December 31, 2009

No other celebrity made news like Rihanna in 2009. So what if 80% of it (well, 95%) was about a kid putting his hands on her? They say bad publicity is better than no publicity at all.

Best of 09: Face Tattoos

Monday, December 28, 2009

Face tats were huge in 2009, with people covering much of the side of their faces with things from stars to animals.

Amerie's album flops: 'Don't know what happened'

Friday, December 11, 2009

Radio totally ignored her. Industry shows like the Grammys and VMAs didn't even share an ounce of air-time on her.
