The Paul O'Grady Show in the UK continues to get all the biggest stars in music, this time being Ashlee Simpson. She performed "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)," her first single from her new album Bittersweet World in the US, for a change; apparently that's the song they are pushing across the pond. It was cool to see her perform this one, but it wasn't a great performance. I kinda wish they hadn't had the song playing with the vocals in some parts because it just made Ash sound out of tune; she would have been fine without them. But, hey, at least she sang live!

*UPDATED* Mariah Carey Does i-D Magazine
Oh ... my ... dang. *Gulp* Mariah has done, like, the hottest photo shoot ever to promote the release of her latest album E=MC², currently the reigning #1 album in the country, for UK's i-D magazine. Check out the rest of the shoot below. Also, Mariah will be on The View this coming Monday, May 5th. Hopefully she can clear up some of these Nick Cannon rumors...
UPDATE: Mariah has cancelled her appearance Monday on The View, Mariah Daily Journal has confirmed. Crap. Mariah, the "Bye Bye" video, remember? We want.
Kelly Rowland Performs "Daylight" On The National Lottery Show
Here's Kelly Rowland performing "Daylight" again in the UK, this time on The National Lottery Show. Kelly looks & sounds great, but those poor, poor back-ups...
Carrie Underwood "Last Name" Video Premiere
"Last Name" is the third single off Carrie Underwood's sophomore album Carnival Ride. This video is a prequel to her previous mega-hit "Before He Cheats" & is really cool. Carrie always keeps us entertained with her videos. I must say, though--I recently saw her in concert & Carrie is the real deal. Her vocals are incredible & always flawless.
Lil' Mama "L.I.F.E." Video Premiere
"L.I.F.E." is the latest single off Lil' Mama's debut album VYP: Voice Of The Young People, which finally hit stores this week. Wow, what a video. Lil' Mama gets very, very real in this one. I like it.
Nicole Scherzinger "Rio (Caress Brazilian Mix)" Video Premiere
"Rio" is a Duran Duran remake by Nicole Scherzinger being used to promote Caress Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions body wash. It's very awesome to see something new from Nicole, though I fear her solo effort will never see the light of day. It needs to at least leak...
Jordin Sparks' Voice "Almost All The Way Healed"
Jordin Sparks has revealed that she is "feeling good" as she recovers from her acute vocal hemorrhage, which is "almost all the way healed." While she will thankfully be returning to the Alicia Keys tour in a few days, Jordin revealed that her "career COULD HAVE BEEN in jeopardy if [she] hadn't done anything about it." She had this to say to her fans:Thank you for all the prayers and your concern. You guys are what keep me going, honestly. But not to worry! I'll be better in no time!
YAY!!! I was worried about her, but it's so wonderful to hear that she is doing better. ... Have I mentioned lately how gorgeous she is? Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Kelly Rowland Performs "Daylight" On The Paul O'Grady Show
Promotion is in full swing by Kelly Rowland in anticipation of her Ms. Kelly Deluxe release in the UK on May 12th. She performed her latest single "Daylight" on The Paul O'Grady Show recently. It's cool to see her properly perform the song, even if her back-up singers are only there for show ... that bugs me!
Alicia Keys On Letterman
"Teenage Love Affair"
Interview
Alicia Keys is really talented, very original, & easy on the eyes ... but I just don't quite get her. I guess she makes what they call "timeless" music, which I am apparently not that into. I think I'm just trying to say that she's not my favorite ... but the performance is good & the interview is entertaining.
Lloyd ft. Ludacris "How We Do It (Around My Way)" Video Premiere
"How We Do It (Around My Way)," featuring Ludacris, is the lead single off Lloyd's forthcoming third album Lessons In Love, due July 15th. To be honest, I've never really cared for Lloyd, but he is really bringing it this time around 'cause this song is hot. The video is really cool & creative as well.
The-Dream ft. Young Jeezy "I Luv Your Girl" Video Premiere
"I Luv Your Girl," featuring Young Jeezy, is the third single from The-Dream's debut album Love/Hate, out now. I've come to quite like & respect The-Dream for his talent & creativity. This is a cool new song from him.
Britney Spears Returns To How I Met Your Mother
Britney Spears is all set to reprise her role of Abby on CBS' comedy How I Met Your Mother. She will make her return appearance on the series' May 12th episode. While she was obviously cast for ratings, I quite enjoyed Britney's turn on the show & I will definitely tune in once again. She's on the right track--finally![Source, Source]
Busta Rhymes Video Premieres
Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)
We Made It (w/ Linkin Park)
"Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)" is the buzz single from Busta Rhymes' upcoming album Blessed, due June 17th, while "We Made It" with Linkin Park is the official first single off the album. While I think they made the better decision releasing the latter to radio, which will most likely eat it up, I'm not particularly fond of "We Made It" & I actually prefer "Don't Touch Me." The video is much more entertaining, taking us back to Busta's signature style, which is fascinating to me. What is it with Linkin Park & rappers anyway?
