Why Christina Aguilera was leaking at the Etta James Tribute
Tongues were wagging during the touching performance of songstress Christina Aguilera’s performance at Etta James tribute on Sunday. Not because she tore the roof off the place with her amazing vocals, but because she appeared to be leaking bodily fluids on the stage.
Here’s what actually happened according to US Weekly:
In photos of Aguilera’s incredible tribute to James — who passed away Jan. 20 — fans noticed odd streaks running down her legs.
“She sang her heart out. It was a memorial service for her idol and she was nervous,” an insider explains to Us of the performance. (Aguilera, 31, has been covering “At Last” for years and called James “a true gift to music and a woman of great spirit and courage” on her website after James’ death.”
“It was her proudest moment,” the source explains. “The sweat caused her spray tan to streak.”
Good answer. But she doesn’t appear to be “sweating” anywhere on her body — except in the vicinity of her vagina. Do women spray tan their vaginas?

Michael Jackson’s children make hand impressions using shoes and sequined glove
Yesterday, Michael Jackson’s children Prince Michael II, 9, Prince Michael, 14, and Paris Jackson, 13, attended Michael Jackson’s Hand and Footprint Ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Jackson’s children made hand impressions in cement, as well as impressions using Jackson’s shoes and the white sequined glove once worn by Jackson.
Justin Bieber, Melanie Fiona, Chris Tucker, Smokey Robinson and other celebs and dignitaries attended the ceremony. Paris Jackson was beside herself when Justin gave her a hug. In her intro, Paris said, “We are all very big fans of [Justin] and his music” — and then, with a coy smile, she added, “I know I am.”
Jay Z’s Business Partner Charged With Murder!
The Hip Hop police never sleep. While former drug dealers-turned-rappers cavort onstage flashing the products of their ill-gotten wealth, the feds are meticulously gathering evidence against them.
According to The Sun, British police arrested Jay Z associate Chris Nathaniel, 39, and charged him with the stabbing of Danny O’Shea, 18, in East London.
The police nabbed Nathaniel yesterday when he landed at London’s Heathrow airport on an international flight from the United States.
The entertainment guru — linked with a host of sports idols, showbiz stars and leading politicians — was held with a pal aged 33.
Both were quizzed over the killing of Danny O’Shea, who was stabbed in the neck after being chased by a gang for 300 yards.
The teenager bled to death outside his mum’s home in Canning Town, East London.
Nathaniel was instrumental in brokering a business deal to open a London branch of the “Throne” rapper’s 40/40 restaurant and bar franchise.
Ne-Yo Named VP of A&R at Motown Records
R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo, 32, has been appointed Vice President of A&R at Motown Records, according to published reports. Ne-Yo, born Shaffer Chimere Smith, Jr., left Def Jam Records after 6 years and 4 albums.
Ne-Yo will work closely with former LaFace Records intern Ethiopia Habtemariam, who was appointed senior VP of Motown last September. She also holds the title of executive VP/head of urban music for Universal Music Publishing Group.
Ne-Yo said: “I’m honored that I¹ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson — these are big shoes to fill. But trust, I can handle it.”
Ne-Yo’s album Year of the Gentleman and Young Jeezy’s album, The Recession, were both cited by insiders as part of the reason for the fall out between then Def Jam label head LA Reid and his Executive VP Shakir Stewart.
Both albums, which were A&R’d by Stewart, dropped in September 2008 and failed to go gold by the time Stewart shot himself to death in the bathroom of his Marietta, Ga. home on Nov. 1, 2008.

Police: Body may be missing woman, Stacey English
The Atlanta Journal reports that the body of a woman found Monday in southeast Atlanta might be Stacey Nicole English, 36, who was reported missing in December 2011.
“The decedent is an adult black female, consistent in age with reported missing person Stacey English,” said chief medical examiner Randy Hanzlick, though it remains unclear whether the body is that of the missing Buckhead woman.
According to the AJC, two men searching for scrap metal stumbled upon the body on Monday in a wooded area less than a mile away from where English’s white Volvo was found abandoned with the engine running.
The body was “in an advanced state of decomposition,” Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos told the AJC.
APD notified English’s family of the discovery. “If this is not her, I have to still be sad because it’s someone else’s child,” said Bernice English Hurks, English’s aunt.
“I can’t base my emotions on what I think,” English Hurks said. The hardest thing now, she said, “is not knowing.”
An autopsy is underway to identify the body and to determine the cause of death.
Roseanne Barr Calls Jay Z and Beyonce ‘Arrogant’ in Twitter Rant
Yesterday, one of my Twitter.com followers informed me that comedienne Roseanne Barr went IN on Beyonce and President Obama for disrespecting Etta James while she was alive. It seems Miss Barr took offense to Obama giving Beyonce the honor of performing Etta’s classic “At Last” for his first dance.
Miss James herself expressed outrage at the snub. Particularly since Beyonce did such a horrible job of singing. Everyone agreed that Miss James would have done the song more justice than fame whore Beyonce.
But Roseanne Barr settled the score for Etta on Saturday when she tweeted:
“i have not listened to anything beyonce or jay z has said or recorded since they did that to Etta. Their arrogance was disgusting.”
Roseanne also dissed Beyonce’s singing, her lacefronts and her fake azz all in one classic tweet!
Naturally, Beyonce’s deranged Stans, who have nothing else to do with their boring lives, came for Miss Barr on Twitter with all the ferocity and venom of a pitbull with rabies.
And Roseanne pushed back!
She didn’t mince her words either! She let those fools have it with blasts from both barrels of her B*tch Be Gone shotgun! I wish I could have gotten in on the fun on Saturday. But it’s never too late to show Beyonce’s Stans for the desperate, lonely, psycho losers that they all are.
After the break, I have compiled more of my favorite Roseanne Barr tweets for your entertainment pleasure. Enjoy! 
Etta James, Powerful Voice Behind ‘At Last,’ Dies
From the NY Times:
Etta James, whose powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs, most indelibly in her signature hit, “At Last,” died Friday morning in Riverside, Calif. She was 73.
Her manager, Lupe De Leon, said that the cause was complications of leukemia. Ms. James, who died at Riverside Community Hospital, had been undergoing treatment for some time for a number of conditions, including leukemia and dementia. She also lived in Riverside.
Ms. James was not easy to pigeonhole. She is most often referred to as a rhythm and blues singer, and that is how she made her name in the 1950s with records like “Good Rockin’ Daddy.” She is in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.
She was also comfortable, and convincing, singing pop standards, as she did in 1961 with “At Last,” which was written in 1941 and originally recorded by Glenn Miller’s orchestra. And among her four Grammy Awards (including a lifetime-achievement honor in 2003) was one for best jazz vocal performance, which she won in 1995 for the album “Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday.”
