Rihanna is on the cover of the latest issue of InStyle magazine looking fresh and fabulous as always. In the accompanying interview, she talks about her hair, her style and even her future. On her future, she said “…In 10 years I want to have already started my family and have some business of my own. A fashion line, a makeup line, and I still want to be doing what I’m doing at a much bigger capacity—by the grace of God!” Well, she already has an umbrella line so I’m sure the whole business thing will work out soon. As for the family, I wonder if the not-yet-confirmed boyfriend Chris Brown is going to be part of her family picture.
After winning an Oscar, Jennifer Hudson goes back to her singing and we now have a preview of sorts for her debut album. The cover art for her self-titled album has just been revealed. Her album is set for release on September 30. Jennifer’s single ‘Spotlight’, which was written and produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate, is already out. Other rumored collaborators on the 26-year old American Idol alum include Akon, R. Kelly, John Legend, Jack Splash, Christopher ‘Tricky’ Stewart, Robin Thicke, Timbaland, T-Pain, The Underdogs and Diane Warren. That’s a lot of big name contributors. A list like that should have people expecting nothing but the best from her.
Ali Lohan, the younger sister of Lindsay Lohan, has released her first single to People. The 14-year old budding singer’s single is entitled ‘All the Way Around’. When she was asked what her sound is like, Ali first responded to the Miley Cyrus similarities to which she reacted with “She’s really good. But I have different music than her. It’s a different vibe – it’s definitely a different vibe. Mine is more hip-hop. Kind of like Rihanna.” Honey, stick to your own league. Miley Cyrus is much closer to yours. Rihanna is like the freaking edge of the universe for you. But hey, I can’t blame her for having ambitions.
Nicole Kidman and her country superstar husband Keith Urban are now the proud parents of a baby girl. The baby was born on Monday weighing in at 6 lbs, 7 oz and was named Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban. This is the first child together for the couple. Nicole has two other children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. Their spokesman Paul Freundlich told People “Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well.” Congratulations to the couple! And welcome to the world Sunday Rose! The hunt for your picture has officially begun. I wonder if she’ll be featured in a cover of a magazine too.

The legendary MENUDO have sold over 40 million records worldwide. Now — two generations later — a new, updated version of MENUDO is back, with a contemporary sound and look, and the same universal appeal.
Carlos, Chris, Emmanuel, José and Monti came together on the MTV & MTV Tr3s reality series Making Menudo. Viewers watched every week as the guys went through a demanding “boy-band boot camp” designed by legendary pop impresario Johnny Wright (*NSYNC, Britney Spears). The task of becoming part of the new MENUDO required the chosen five members to take part in a rigorous process of musical, choreographic, and professional education. Although each member specializes in a particular type of music, the guys do it all and love the fact that the new MENUDO’s music crosses over several genres.
MENUDO have recorded more than 50 new songs for their first album due out September 9th and are already veterans after working with a wide variety of contemporary producers and writers including Danja (Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake), J.R. Rotem (Usher, Destiny’s Child), and Akon. When asked about the album, José calls it “urban pop, R & B, ballads, Latin flavors, a little bit of electronic.” Monti adds, “Everybody can relate to it. We put a lot of emotion into our songs, so we want to touch lives, we want to touch people.”

What’s The Buzz:
Not yet, but maybe in the near future. Some close to the Lizzie McGuire star say it won’t be too long for her and boyfriend Mike Comrie.
Seems she is wanting to know how much longer as well….
Rumors are Hilary has been talking to psychics, particularly Tracy Williams, to see if it looks like Mike will work for her. A friend says, “She’s really into Mike and would like to get married and start a family, so she’s looking for a second opinion about whether he’d be a good fit for her in the long run.”
I’m guess he runs away here pretty soon because he is afraid of commitment.
