  Rihanna was in concert in Milan, Italy on the 15th.  Word is that, as always, she put on a ridiculously hot show. 

She’s always gotten comparisons to Beyonce and Janet Jackson, but it’s apparent that (with all due respect to both of those equally talented performers) she’s very much her own person.  Her style and originality are purely her own.

Love this outfit!

Not that it would seem like a possible scenario anyway, Leona Lewis has vowed that she will not become another Amy Winehouse (24). The beautiful British singer and songwriter admitted that she admires Amy’s musical talents, but would definitely avoid the path she has taken. Wise, that. According to Leona (23), having a strong and supportive family is one way of helping her keep her feet on the ground.

“Amy is so talented. But a performer’s privacy is taken away. The media are always there,” Daily Star quoted her as saying. “You can’t make your mistakes in private. I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from family and friends. They aren’t always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight,” she said

Leona told Parade Magazine that she (understandably) is honored to be compared to legendary divas Whitney Houston (44) and Mariah Carey (38). “It’s exceedingly gratifying because they’re so great,” she added.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave or on a Country Music station, you’ve heard Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”   When I first heard the song, I thought it was Amy Winehouse.  But I’d heard all of her stuff and knew she’d never done a song about kissing a girl. Besides, a few lines into the song I realized it wasn’t Amy.

I listened to the end for the DJ to give me the name, but all he said was, “This girl’s getting a lot of comparisons to Amy Winehouse!”  Then he went into details about the weather.

Thanks, guy.

When I got home, I jumped on GOOGLE and soon found out what I needed to know.  That was a few weeks ago and, of course, by now everyone knows Katy.

On his website, Perez Hilton wrote: “If Avril Lavigne were actually talented, pretty, and had an appealing personality, she’d be Katy Perry. She’s got the whole package!”   Ouch.

Katy has said, “I don’t care who I’m compared to as long as people listen to the music.  Usually I find it funny to say I’m like a skinnier version of Lily Allen and a fatter version of Amy Winehouse. It always renders a good chuckle.”

Katy’s gaining a monstrous following - it’ll be interesting to see where this all goes.  She very well be the next big thing.

Sadly, Amy Winehouse is having to pay her debt for ….well… raunchy living.

Her dad recently announced that the talented but troubled star has developed emphysema. Daddy Winehouse told the press:

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity. The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her. The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going, she could have ended up an invalid—she wouldn’t have been able to breathe.”

If that’s not enough of a wake up call for this girl, she’s doomed. It should also be a big fat reminder to everyone else to never touch drugs. Oh, I dunno… as in EVER.

If you ever feel the least bit tempted, come back here and look at the picture you see at the top of the post. Then go have a Kit Kat. Chocolate does wonders for you and doesn’t turn you into a skankadoo.

In all seriousness, I’m a huge fan of Amy Winehouse’s music and hope she’ll get her stuff together. She’s just 24 for pity’s sake!
