R&B Diva Monica covers Essence magazine’s 1st Hot Hair issue, that’s currently on news stands. She rocks the same light streaks and short bob as singer Kelly Rowland. They both wear it so well!

Inside the magazine, Essence explores the “unique relationship between African-American women and their hair”.

Yesterday I heard from someone in Mo’s camp, who advised me that the plans for Mo’s huge 30th birthday bash in Atlanta has been canceled for this weekend.

Instead, the party moves to Los Angeles, probably because her boo, Lakers guard Shannon Brown, will be playing in a pre-season game on the west coast and he wouldn’t be able to make the trip to the A this weekend.

Even though Monica will celebrate her 30th with a private bash on the left coast, we will still be in attendance to bring you all the excitement! So stay tuned.
