Beyoncé's planned concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been canned amid protests by local Muslim groups, Billboard reports. The groups are reportedly upset that the singer has refused to obey the country's strict dress code for performers, although the November 1 concert's promoter, Pineapple Concert, did not give a reason for the cancellation in a statement issued Friday (September 28). Female performers are not allowed to show skin from the tops of their chests to their knees. In August, Gwen Stefani's concert in the country was also preceded by protests for the same reason — but she reluctantly abided by the guidelines, saying in a press conference before the show that she had made a "major sacrifice." ...
A lot of the asian and middle eastern countries do this all the time. I think it's fine that they want a singer to cover up because we all know the way these female performers be dressing is very skimpy, but why even promote that artist in the country if you don't agree with the way that female dresses or how she sells sex???
A judge ruled in favor of Mariah Carey last week in a copyright-infringement lawsuit over the track, "It's Like That," from her multi-platinum 2004 album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." Singer Rachelle Chafir claimed the hit copied key portions of her track "Sexy," and that Carey had access to the song because it was available on a Web site, reports MTV. However, U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood said Chafir was unable to prove that Carey or her producers lifted the material or had even visited the Web site. Wood also said the songs were not "strikingly similar" enough to be considered infringement. With "no genuine issues of material fact," Wood closed the case. "It was the right decision," Carey's lawyer Ilene Farkas told MTV News. "The record was clear in this case."
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Welcomes the 37th Annual Hip-Hop Summit Action Network’s "Get Your Money Right" International Tour was held September 29, 2007 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Guests included Dr. Benjamin, Russell Simmons, LeToya Luckett, Belly, Lyfe Jennings, Bun B, and Big Daddy Kane. Very few people showed up but it's nice that this event is held every year for African Americans. Ex Destiny's Child member LeToya looks cute. It's nice to see her out at events again. Her album should have went a lot more further than it did. Lyfe Jennings is very sexy but he knows damn well that he should have dressed up more for this event. Business casual would've been appropriate; the same goes for Belly and Bun B. 
Rihanna visited fashion house Dsquared2 during the Spring/Summer 2008 collections of the Milan ready-to-wear fashion shows with Canadian designers Dean and Dan Caten. Her chest is popping out too much in both the purple and black dress but her face in the last pic looks very nice.
