I absolutely love Panda bears; they're like the cutest creatures ever! And an onlooker at Washington's National Zoo captured footage of Tai Shan (a giant Panda bear) tumbling forward during a nap. Too adorable!

Skateboard P = Most Beautiful

Performer/Music Producer Pharrell Williams was labeled one of the decade's most beautiful people by Interview magazine. Ain't that the truth! "Of this, the decade of the super-producer, Pharrell is the one doing it with the most style, musically and sartorially." The Neptunes were also named producers of the decade by Billboard. Well, I'm not surprised they've produced some of the biggest hits for some of my fave artists, such as Kelis, Usher, Jay-Z, Kanye, Snoop, Gwen Stefani, Justin, Diddy, and of course Pharrell :)

Captured!

Trey Songz poses for Honey Mag. Nice. Trey also did an interview with Honey Mag, in which he claims "I’m a lovable guy. I’m confident. That exudes. Women like men who are confident. I’m humble and I was raised by women so I know what women like." Not to mention he's "doing this thing on Ustream now — every Thursday in December, [he's] giving away 500 dollars to the 25th caller who sings a Christmas song." Wow. How can you not love this guy?

Check out the rest of the photos and the interview over at http://www.honeymag.com/2009/uncategorized/trey-songz-trey-chic/

Trey's album Ready is in stores now.

The College Dropout is #1

So, Entertainment Weekly has named Kanye West's album "The College Dropout" the best album of the decade. Well, I ain't even mad at that. I would even label him artist of the decade. Ye is a musical genius from his productions to his captivating lyrics. His music never fails to win my heart.

All Falls Down (my fav track on the album) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lacB4-gSsrk
