I don't think Beyonce and Justin should be considered as NEW. The same thing happened with the Grammy's and Jody Watley. I mean, if you have been in a group...YOU ARE NOT NEW!

1. Beyonce and Justin should not in competition with those who are truly "new artists". They have been in the music game for some time now.

2. Why do they feel the need to have both New Artist of the Year and R&B New Artist of the Year, with Beyonce and Chingy in both categories??

I can't believe I forgot... I'm at work and didn't set the VCR! DRATS!

[RedefinedDiva]

They are not so good at catching the cuss words!! Nicole Ritchie won't be invited to present at any more award shows!!

[Prissfit1908]

Nicolie Ritchie is a trip. But I'm confused: is she black/have some black in her? I read somewhere that she is adopted, but what the heck is she? It's hard to tell just by looking. I have folks in my family who are "voluntary negroes" so I know it's next to impossible to tell sometimes...

I was wondering the same thing. Everyone that posted about her previously said that she is white, but that chick looks like she has some black in her.

[AKA2D '91]

That girl is probably bi-racial with her hair COLORED blonde. When she was in Jet BACK IN THE DAY with her adopted mom Brenda, she looked black(er). I don't think her hair was blonde then.




ETA: LOOK AT HER ROOTS!



She needs to come to the stylist with me this evening to get the relaxer put in.
