Wendy Williams Covers Nov. Issue of Bleu Mag

Tini — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:20:05 +0000

We’ve been seeing a lot of Wendy Williams lately—and she’s not leaving anyone’s sight anytime soon. Here she is blessing the cover of Bleu Magazine’s November issue. The “Queen of Media” jokes:

My show hasn’t been on a full season yet and I am not as seasoned as Martha Stewart or as experienced as Dr. Phil, but I’m taller than all of them! Height has it’s advantages.

We love her sense of humor.

Also featured on the November issue is Maxwell, Elektrik Red, Necole Bitchie, RHOA’s Kandi Burress, and Male Super Model Shawn Sutton. Definitely need to pick up that issue next month!

Common + Maxwell on Stage= Magic + Concert Afterparty at Marquee

Tini — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:09:05 +0000

The time finally came—and went. Just that fast. Months ago we announced that Maxwell and Common teamed up to tour the nation, and their stop to NYC’s Madison Square Garden was last night! Unfortunately, ATF wasn’t in the building. But his album is a HIT, and we can only imagine how the performance was. Two of the sexiest, grown-mature looking men on stage? Common AND Maxwell? What in the world could beat that?

Chrisette Michele was the first artist to bless the stage with her beautiful voice, followed by the one and only Common who performed his hit singles, “Go”, “The People”, “The Light”, “Love of My Life”, he also covered ‘Yeezy’s,”Jesus Walks.”

After Common, Maxwell hit the stage in a 3 piece suit and had the ladies going wild. He covered most of the songs off his album, Blacksummersnight, and of course he touched on his old hits like “Sumthin’ Sumthin’.”

Judging by the pictures, looks like it was a great show. We also heard that by the end of the night, the stage was filled with panties from women in the audience. *Blank stare*

Also, Melanie Fiona will be having her album listening party at SOBS next Tuesday night. For anyone that appreciates talented women that can actually sing, you must support and check Miss. Fiona out.

Melanie Fiona comes to SOBs for her album preview show, freah off dropping her mixtape, which was hosted by ?uestlove of The Roots. Melanie, the R&B sensation from Canada, was born to to Guyanese immigrant parents and grew-up in the inner city of Toronto. The songtress grew up living in a music-filled household and Melanie says that from an early age she knew music was her passion. Her father was a guitarist in a band and would allow her to sit on the stage when she was younger as he practiced. Fiona also recalls her mother’s wide range of music taste; playing everything from The Ronettes to Whitney Houston in the house when she was younger.

Music Review: Maxwell, Aubrey O’Day, Slum Village

Tini — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:12:10 +0000

Its Friday and we would like to give you some of our favorite videos and new music that hit the internet this week. From Whitney Houston to Maxwell... it’s definitely been all about R&B.

Maxwell has been driving the ladies nuts with the sensual, soothing singles he’s dropped and this sexy grown-man look he has going on. This week “Bad Habit” was released that shows Maxwell cheating on his girl with the beautiful, Kerry Washington. Maxwell is releasing that “Grown Folk Music” you can’t help but enjoy .

More music from Aubrey O’Day, Slum Village, and Rich Girl…

We know that everyone remembers Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane. Well it was rumored that she was going to leave music alone, but she shut that down quick. Aubrey O’Day has released a song featuring Shanell aka SNL from Young Money, who is also D.Woods sister. They made a remake of Eddie Murphy’s hit “Party All The Time“, but they added their own little twist..

Aubrey O’day & Shanell of Young Money – Party All The Time

Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys teamed up to produce and write the lyrics to Whitney Houston’s uptempo track, “Million Dollar Bill“. Watch out for these two, we are guessing that Swizz Beatz and Keys are definitely the next power couple with many more hits to come.

“Million Dollar Bill” will be featured on Houston’s long-awaited comeback album, I Look To You, available next month.

This girl group is really pushing out music left and right. RichGirl is the group put together by producer Rich Harrison, that is currently opening for Beyonce. That tour is giving them a lot of buzz.

A track from their upcoming album entitled “Lucky You Are” just leaked. It’s a great ballad, that shows off their vocal talents. RichGirl will continually remind us of the classic Destiny’s Child.

We were extremely thrilled to hear that Baatin rejoined Slum Village a couple of months ago–with plans of recording a new album and touring. The hip-hop community definitely took a hit last week when it was learned that Baatin was found dead–the cause of death still unknown. Baatin had been sick for a while, in 2002 he admited that he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

As mentioned, we were anticipating Slum Village’s comeback and we’ve had this track, “Cloud 9″ produced by the late Dilla, on rotation in the Ipod.

RIP Baatin & Dilla

Maxwell Visits 106 & Park

Tini — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:31:50 +0000

Maxwell was looking mighty fine as he made his appearance on 106 & Park yesterday to honor Michael Jackson and talk about the release of his album. Maxwell has been spending a lot of time in NYC promoting BlackSummersNight; his album release party was Monday night, and fortunately, we’ve only heard good things about it.

So where in the world has Maxwell been and what made him randomly pop up with a new album? Well according to him, he used the free time to clear his head and get a life. But it’s clear from his new CD, “BLACKsummers’night,” he also used the time to come out with something very unique.

Event Recap: BET Upfront ‘09 + Surprise Appearances

Aura — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:27:16 +0000

All That’s Fab had the privilege of attending the BET Upfronts 2009 last night at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. For those that don’t know, this is an event in which the networks get a chance to present and showcase everything that they have to offer, in the form of upcoming shows and more, to potential advertisers and tastemakers. I didn’t really know what to expect, but once we arrived the event was way more exciting than we bargained for.

Check out what we mean after the jump.

I will say that I’ve never been to an upfront before, so I wouldn’t know what to expect, but BET executives including Debra Lee, Stephen Hill and more really impressed and entertained me with their presentation. With appearances from Mario Van Peebles, Monica, Mary J. Blige, Maxwell, Mo’Nique, and MC Lyte, who wouldn’t be entertained?

Stand out surprises included Maxwell being announced as the first official performer for the BET Honors awards celebration, Monica appearing to discuss her new reality show “Monica: Still Standing“, Mary J. Blige and MC Lyte taking over the stage to announce their new show “The Hollywood Treatment“, and Mo’Nique comanding the stage to talk about her new talk show “Break Time with Mo’Nique“. I will add that Mo’Nique COMPLETELY stole the show, and had the whole audience booming with laughter. She is a nut, and I will definitely be watching her show. Monica also took the time to thank VP of Programming, Stephen Hill, “for recognizing her mean shoe and boot game”. Heyyyy!

(Mary J. Blige pictured with Monica. Yes, Monica give me those boots!)

*I wonder of Mo’Nique is calling Chilli a “Skinny Bitch” in her head.

BET’s presentation also included an introduction of their new channel, Centric, which will be launching in the 4th quarter of ‘09. This channel is catered to a slightly older generation, and is an “entertainment and music channel that reflects that lifestyle and sensibilities of today’s African American adult 25 – 54″. (This means no Soulja Boy “Turn My Swag On” or “Stanky Leg” or any other foolishness.)

We’re excited about the launch of this new channel, and are looking forward to the shows that they have to offer. Stand outs that were presented included “Real Life Divas“, a biography series that steps into the lives of today’s most fascinating women, including Vanessa Williams, Naomi Campbell and more and the male counterpart to this show, “Leading Men” which profiles the private lives of today’s leading Black male role models, including Tyson Beckford, Ne-Yo, and Wynton Marsalis. Another show that caught my eye was “Model City“, a show that “captures the intensity of trying to make it as an African American male model. (The male models profiled in the show made an appearance at the Upfronts as well, causing CEO, Debra Lee, to blush. Heyyyy!) It was also announced that Centric will be bringing the Soul Train Awards back, which is definitely something to look forward to.

Lastly, the presentation closed out with a great performance by legendary R&B diva, Anita Baker. You may check out it below.

Very good times! Let me find out that BET is trying to step it up!
