Jazmine Sullivan Shares 'Fearless' Journey With Stevie Wonder
Scoring a well received debut, R&B star Jazmine Sullivan says she was skeptical about her first single and debut -- especially since this would be her second record deal. "I was a bit skeptical at first" says the singer who signed with Jive at the age of 15. "I didn't know who I was, so I couldn't tell them. I had this huge voice, but I was really just a baby." Sullivan, who says she is now in a better position as singer/songwriter, got her big break by following Detroit's 'Kindred' (who she met at P

Esmee Denters Blown Away By Stevie Wonder Concert
Esmee Denters updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (September 18) after seeing Stevie Wonder perform back home in the Netherlands. Denters writes: Hey everybody, I got back home to the Netherlands just in time because one of my all-time favorite singers was here to perform! I have always wanted to see one of his shows ever since I was little. My dad is a music freak just like me and when I grew up it really inspired me to likeall different types of music. But he had one record that I always be

Little Stevie Wonder
Very few of the current “recording artists” can truly be considered musicians. Not only in our culturally depraved generation, but throughout time. Not every name playing musical chairs atop the Billboard chart at the end of the week is that of a person who has made it their duty to master music and perfect their art. True, some have remarkable voices and occasionally one or two may excel and take their craft to a slightly higher level and wider audience. They then become representative figure

(Photo by Russell Hirshon) Kai Milla, like everyone in the fashion business, has her eyes on one very special assignment: Michelle Obama's inaugural gown. "That would be a dream come true for any designer," said Milla, who brought her inaugural collection to Saks Jandel on Saturday. "I'm certainly hoping it will be me." The D.C. native (and wife of Stevie Wonder) actually has a shot -- Milla met the incoming first lady at the Democratic conventio

MSN Celebrities Undressed for the Week of 6 Oct. 2008
These Boots Are Made for Knocking:Heidi Montag is so much more than just a soulless, Spencer Pratt-fondling reality show personality. She's also a philanthropist. Here she is, happily kicking up her heels at a Taco Bell and biting into something even cheesier than she is as part of an effort to combat world hunger. The "Hills" starlet selflessly gives a few hours of her precious time to help the needy, and it's clear from her choice of outfit that she's taking her duties seriously. Her toe-crammin

Dr. Venkman Reviews: ‘Appaloosa’
I am a huge fan of the western genre. It seems like these days it is a dying breed of film. I doesn’t seem like people are going to see them anymore, and when people stop going to the movies the studios are more reluctant in making them. So I am very happy when I see a western film get made. Appaloosa is only playing in a few theaters right now and I didn’t know what to expect when I got to the theater. I have to say there were not many people there and the people that did show up to see the mov
