I can't believe I haven't done Kumi Koda on this blog before.
Not only is she talented, but she can pull off cute and sexy at the same time.
That's no easy trick.

Mariah Carey and the Grammys

Awhile back Mariah Carey was heading down the Britney Spears road.
But Mariah seems to have pulled out of that nose dive and is doing pretty well.
But even though things are going better, everything isn't coming up roses.
After putting on go go boots and performing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Mariah's album ?E=MC2? was completely snubbed by the Grammy committee.
Not even a single nomination.
Why?
Who cares?
The REAL Mariah Carey question is.....
Is she pregnant?
Rumor has it that Mariah and hubby Nick Cannon may be expecting.

Kim Kardashian...a UN Ambassador for South Africa?

Did I miss something?
According to several news sources Kim Kardashian was asked by United Nations officials at the Empowerment of Africa dinner in New York if she would be interested in becoming a UN ambassador for South Africa.
Kim Kardashian?
Okay, this is an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" right?
"Tonight on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim is asked by United Nations officials to become the Ambassador for South Africa. Despite Bruce's objections, Kim accepts and hilarity ensues."
Nope.
It appears to be real.

Don't worry though, this is celebrity news and within 24 hours all parties involved will issue strong denials that any event like that ever took place.
Meanwhile, I'll be looking for Rod Serling standing off to the side laughing.
