R. Kelly Performing on Caribbean Cruise

R. Kelly is one of those people that are hard to keep up with. One minute he’s playing with underage girls, the next he’s making music for the grown and sexy. Now he’s doing something completely unexpected. No surprise there.

*R. Kelly has announced details of a 5-day cruise liner performance

...dubbed the "Love Letter Cruise" Fans will have the chance to join the singer on board as the cruise sets sail from Miami and tours through the Caribbean in October 2012.

The concert promises to present a "fabulous performance, never before seen at sea". Kelly, has also said he'll be bringing along "special guest artists" for the trip.

It'll also offers passengers food, aerobics classes and pampering treatments.

Earlier this summer the R&B star vowed he would return after he recovered from emergency throat surger in mid-July to have an abscess on one of his tonsils removed.

"I want to say thanks to all the prayer warriors out there for supporting me. And praying for me," he told fans at the time.

R. Kelly is known for tracks like Vibe, I Believe I Can Fly and Ignition.

The three-time Grammy award winner has also written tracks for a host of artists including Michael & Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Usher and Britney Spears.

The singer will be wooing ladies probably right out of their bikinis while on the ocean to who knows where. (Can we say that?!)

The R. Kelly cruise will leave Miami on Oct. 1 next year and will make stops in Grand Turk and several spots in the Bahamas.

Celebs In Attendance To Heavy D's Funeral... Check Out The Diff Black Outfits (They are Fashionable, Though...)

Heavy D's funeral was a star-studded event, with celebs in attendance like Will and Jada Smith, Diddy, Queen Latifah, Jay-Z, and much more. Why am I posting on this??

It's so that you can see the different black outfits, and get an idea of what to wear (not talking about a funeral, though) :-)



(SMH) Media Takeout must've mistook Usher for John Legend... look at their caption above.

I like Will Smith's look best.

USHER Goes Clean-Shaven!! Err... Looks like A Young Morgan Freeman!!

SURPRISE!!!!

Usher tweeted a pic that showed he cut off all his facial hair recently. Now, i don't know what you ladies have to say about this, but from a guy's point of view, I would say JUST GROW A LITTLE OF IT BACK Usher, if you trying to go for a clean look.

I.E. Having just a mustache, or trimmed chin hair, qualifies as CLEAN-CUT.

But this is a lil' much. The 'AFTER' pic of Usher makes him look like a young Morgan Freeman!!!

WHADDAYA Think About Usher's Look in LANVIN and other brands?

Whaddaya think about Usher's look?

I'm ON ONE with his look. I could rock this out, too. The yet-to-be-named leather jacket, Dior Homme jeans... they look Right On Point! The sneakers are by LANVIN. Even though they may look a little plain, things always appear better in person so you never know.

I also put this picture up so you ladies can GLANCE at Usher. I know y'all like your USHER. LoL.

2011 Essence Music Festival---- Stars Of Hott Fashion In 'JAIDEN's EYES'

It's always EXCITEMENT when a music awards ceremony airs on TV or takes place somewhere because that's when all the stars come out and put their best foot forward (sometimes) when it comes to fashion.

Check out a few brief photos from the 2011 Essence Music Festival, complete with stars like Usher (above), Taraji P. Henson, Fantasia, Macy Gray, Lance Gross, Fantasia, and more...

 

Lance Gross

Jennifer Hudson (wow, she and her vocals are sharp...)

Fantasia Barrino (She can SANG the fishes out the water...)

The funny Taraji P. Henson

Cool beans on the fashion....

Sneaker of the Day: Usher's Pierre Hardy Sneakers

These sneakers were seen on Usher's feet a few days ago.

Do you like 'em?

I think they're cool and unique, but... it's a little too much for Usher. He looked like a rocker teenager (just   sayin', folks); see for yourself. The sneakers would be cool if he wore it with a toned-down outfit.

Weekend SPOTTER: Usher Chillin' In NYC + Katy Perry w/ Hubby Russell Brand

Both singers USHER and KATY PERRY were spotted over the weekend on two separate occasions, chillin' in COOL but EXPENSIVE COMFORT (yes, sometimes there's a high price to pay for comfort, literally).

Usher's blue sneakers were ILL (even ILLER, if worn right)! It's very OUTER SPACE and different; I like DIFFERENT! They're by Diet Butcher for $720 *Fist-bump to USHER*. He dressed it down just right with premium denim jeans and crew neck shirt.

And here's Katy Perry with hubby Russell Brand in her UBER-expensive CHANEL sweatsuit...

Scroll down if you want to see how much it costs.

Cost of CHANEL sweatsuit:

Over $3,000 !!!

It better do some TRICKS or somethin'!

BLOW-OUT Factor: Usher Wears Colorful Jil Sander Sweater For Photo Shoot; SIIICK!!!

What a great way to start your morning, such beautiful colors and a carefree attitude comes with the sweater that Usher wore in his photo shoot. I don't think I ever remember Usher, or any artist besides Kanye West, doing something so colorful. It looks so right, so bright, just right for the mood of SPRINGTIME!

Thumbs up to Usher once again for this Jil Sander striped knitted cotton sweater for $695. This can be worn right with dark denim jeans and Creative Recreation sneakers or multi-colored sneakers (that are within the sweater's hues).

JADEN SMITH's Hott Look w/ Justin Bieber and Usher At 2011 Grammys



I have to give a FIST BUMP to Jaden Smith for performing with Justin Bieber and Usher, lookin' all swagg-ful in cornrows and RISQUE LEOPARD PANTS. I'm tellin' you, leopard is the STYLE for men of this year. It's not for me but maybe I'll try a teeny-tiny leopard piece. See more JADEN SMITH PICS and the performance from the 2011 Grammys below:

Lady Gaga and Jaden - she actually hugged and kissed him!

Dat's HOTT...

USHER and OMARION Spot-On/Just My Style At Grammys After-Party

Perfect. Bravo!! Bravo!! There's nothing I would change about Usher's outfit. The 2 Grammys he picked up were a nice touch, as well. The 'OMG' singer did an excellent job with his mentee Justin Bieber and friend Jaden Smith at the Grammys last night.

The one thing about Usher's outfit that caught my eyes were his Vivienne Westwood Seditionary boots for $673. I can really say OMG! I. LOVE. THEM. PERIOD.

It takes a fashionista eye to recognize the sheer uniqueness and high caliber of class these boots have. OHHHH... these belong in the Smithsonian *LoL*

Check out more pics, and check out OMARION below with a colorful Fendi belt for $410. He also had Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato sneakers for $695 (More pics to come) I liked that, too. He's coming into his own pretty good. *Fist bump to Omarion*

(More Omarion photos in next post)

The CLIVE DAVIS Pre-Grammy Party 2011 - JAIDEN Style

Usher and Clive Davis

This is without a doubt the biggest night of the year so far, for musicians, and also for the viewers. The GRAMMYS is a two-way excitement, a two-way magical night for artists to claim such a prestigious award for their hard work.

And here on THE ONLY JAIDEN, this is the little ol' spot where artists are showcased for their fashion sense, and where better to start that off (this is my first Pre-Grammy/GRAMMYs post) with a couple of pics that I'll post up so you can see:

 
Diddy and Randy Jackson - this photo is a little odd to me. I don't know... IT JUST IS.


Sanaa Lathan


Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick - a great DUO


R. Kelly


Jennifer Hudson


Ciara and Monica - Hott In Nude Colored clothing


Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton (Toni got thick thighs, love it, but.. something's a little off about the face)

...And many more were there...
As I looked through several pics of musicians and actors at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party, and compared from years before, the way just about all of them were dressed was quite spot-on.

 I say "BAAAAAM!!!" *LoL*

USHER On "Chill Mode" in Peacoat and LANVIN Sneakers (But what's With The Hair?)

Good morning, or... GOOD MIDNITE to you. I just want to do a fly-by on Usher's style. Usher has sported a lot of futuristic looks in regards to his OMG tour. And while he's off-duty, he usually looks dapper or just plain ILL (nice-looking clothes) in recent months... many, many months ago.

Sidebar: Check out "OMG" Usher in the LANVIN sneakers. Celebs made the LANVINs popular, now everybody gotta have 'em. But Usher's are a little dingy. Buff them thangs, boy!!!

But in these last couple months, I've been a little concerned about Usher's style... he seems to be slipping a lil' bit. It's all showing in the "tough-looking" hair and scruffy beard (Sorry, my man [Usher]). I know there's many women who like the whole rugged look, but I'm very certain a line has to be drawn. Somewhere, SOMETHING has to be groomed on the face. If not the beard, then the hair, and vice-versa. If none is groomed, it's just messy. REALLY. 

In Usher's case, his whole look is... a mix of MEDIOCRE and COOL.  

Check the sneakers... Cool Digs...

NIIIIICE....



SHAKIRA Glams It Up At NRJ Awards; Others Stars, Too...

Wearing Alaia dress, Christian Louboutin clutch purse, Sergio Rossi pumps,
and Lorraine Schwarz jewelry

I know that there are a lot of Shakira fans out there, so I just thought I'd post some pictures that I found from JustJared. She was spotted at the 2011 NRJ Awards at the Palais de Festivals et des Congres in Cannes, France.

Shakira looks awesome in that dress, and Usher... I don't know if that outfit is considered for red carpet, but off that, it looks cool and can be rocked in any informal setting.

Other celebs were also present...

Dat's wassup....

Is USHER Alright? He has seemed a little 'off' recently...

I just thought I'd chime in on what people were talking about for a minute -- USHER. Now, of course Usher is always the subject of some woman's conversation somewhere in the world at any point of time, but this one wasn't about anything good. Check out Usher's recent performance at a concert in Berlin. He wasn't entirely into his own performance:

Close circles to Usher and fans have noticed that during his recent live performances, he has been lackluster in appearance, noticeably thinner, and sultry voice a little more on the tepid side. Of course it's great to lose weight, but it becomes a bit of a problem when a person that loses weight is ALREADY slim and in shape. I don't know what's going on, but I do hope for the best.

USHER Spotted Eatin', Wearing FFRREESSHH Crooks & Castles Glasses

USHER was spotted at a cafe sipping on some tea and eating crumpets *LoL*.. and in doing so, he looked sharp in his sunglasses. To be more specific about what they are: Mosley Tribes x Crooks & Castle Castellano Sunglasses for $250. I found this on UpscaleHype. Niiice....

Will update you with more pics...

USHER Lookin' Casual, Then Flips Da Script With Bright Red Sneakers..

USHER spotted lookin' casual. Shoes are from Raf Simons. Ya like? He also wears his fav sunglasses by Dita for $400.

USHER Goes Futuristic on OMG Tour

USHER has been crooning and wooing ladies worldwide with his looks, dance moves, and voice. Recently, he has been sporting a futuristic look lately, the above picture being in Toronto the other day. I think it looks cool on him. Whaddaya think?

Usher's glasses are by Versace, Vintage Versace S90 Glasses (in gold for $900) in black for less than $900.

Check out his other futuristic looks:
