British singer Leona Lewis poses with a stuffed elephant in support of The Elephant Project, an organization to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. The organization was started by David Niederhoffer after his grandfather passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. With the popular phrase that elephants never forget, Niederhoffer is striving for those affected by the disease to never forget. Well-known celebrities pose with an elephant beanie baby and sign an Elephant Project card which are then auctioned off to raise money. Celebrities who have gotten involved include Zac Efron, Adam Sandler, Julie Andrews, James Marsden, Julianne Moore and Jennifer Garner.
Rihanna’s new music video for her single ‘Disturbia’ was recently released. The video was directed by Anthony Mandler. There’s definitely a disturbing aspect to the video but it’s really fun. The Barbadian beauty’s new video will debut o MTV’s TRL ad BET’s 106 and Park on Thursday, July 24th and on VH1 on Saturday, July 26th. I don’t know about you but I’m pretty disturbed at the sight of the singing sensation being blonde. Hopefully, she wouldn’t catch whatever it was that made Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen dye their hair blonde. Rihanna looks best au naturelle in my opinion.
Nelly and Ashanti are ‘definitely very much still together’.
The ‘Hot in Here’ rapper and ‘Foolish’ singer – who have been romantically linked since 2003 – are still reported to be dating, despite rumours they had split up earlier this month.
Reports their relationship had ended emerged when Ashanti was quoted as saying, “I’m dating my new album, and no-one else”, but the 27-year-old singer has since insisted she was misquoted.
A source close to the couple said: “Nelly and Ashanti are very happy. They are definitely very much still together.”
Earlier this year, Ashanti hinted she wanted to marry the 33-year-old musician. When asked if she was engaged to Nelly, Ashanti held up her left hand to show a bare ring finger and laughed: “Oh no. Noooo! No engagement. But definitely in the future. Ha ha!”
She added: “Me and Nelly, we’re good friends. We kick it – hang out a lot. The industry is very hard, so it’s good to have fun and lighten it up.”
Earlier this week, it was claimed Nelly was dating British soul singer Joss Stone, who was said to be “smitten” with the rapper. The reports have not been confirmed.
