~ Jay Z, "New Day"
And the award of the night DEFINITELY goes to Beyonce!
The diva announced her pregnancy on the red carpet of the VMA.
All her pictures totally show the new mama glow... just BEAUTIFUL!
This will be Bey and Hov's first child.
I just know she and Jay Z will make wonderful parents....
In the words of my cousin..."This b!sh knows how to steal the show!"
EW relays that, on the red carpet, Beyonce told the crowd, “I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside me.” She then unbuttoned her coat and rubbed her belly.
Jay-Z also had children on his mind tonight. He and Kanye rapped about fatherhood on "New Day" from their new album, "Watch The Throne."
"If at first you don't succeed... dust yourself off and try again..."
~ Aaliyah
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah Dana Haughton’s death. The multi-talented star died in a plane crash after filming the video for her song Rock The Boat.
Aaliyah was known for her tender vocals and laid back vibe. She influenced a generation by singing sweetly over heavy Timbaland-produced beats. Bandana’s, shades, crop tops and side-swept bangs were signature to Aaliyah’s tomboy style... one of my style icons growing up.
Aaliyah’s songs are still as relevant today as they were the day they were released. Though its been ten years, Aaliyah still lives on in our hearts and on our iPods.
In her memory, Aaliyah's Top 10 Billboard Hits.
10. More Than A Woman
9. At Your Best (You Are Love)
8. If Your Girl Only Knew
7. I Don't Wanna Be
6. Try Again
5. Rock The Boat
4. I Miss You
3. Back and Forth
2. One In A Million
1. Are You That Somebody
There will never be another quite like Aaliyah... She was truely one in a million.
