I mean, I love seeing some of my fave music Brits — Joss, Adele, Pixie — light it up lately, but I’ve been missing a certain someone… namely Miss Aimee Duffy.

I enjoyed her latest effort, Endlessly, and didn’t feel it got the promotion or accolades it deserved. So yea, the dance-y stuff was probably a little out there for the stereotypical Duffy fan, but don’t we all appreciate an artist who adapts and tries new stuff?

Well, I do, so that’s why I was so glad to see that Duffy is back at it, writing in Spain with Albert Hammond. She even supplied a picture (above) as evidence. So cute, that Duffy!

Anyway, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with this time, and hope we don’t have to wait too long to hear it! *goes and jams to “Mercy”*

At first I wasn’t feeling Rihanna’s Billboard Awards look, but that was until I got a good look at it. LOVE IT! It’s absolutely something I would wear. Classic, fresh, summery, and just all around fab! And with the siren red hair? Girrrlllll, you better work!

But, in looking at Riri’s Max Azria suit, I was reminded of someone else’s white-hot pant suit: Jessica Simpson, in Armani, at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

Now, I like Ri’s look much better, but as was the case with Jessica, it was a major departure from both of their regular red carpet looks. Their hair style was even the same! It’s nice to see stars switch it up on the red carpet. I applaud Ms. Fenty for her move. She’s fearless!

Miss Adele is still slaying the music charts worldwide. And this level of domination equals more press, which I’m all for; especially if that means more magazine covers! The latest being cover girl for the June/July “Hot” issue. Fitting, of course.

Look at some more pictures after the jump.

Kristinia DeBarge attended the 41st NAACP Image Awards Friday. She was a nominee in the “Outstanding New Artist” category. She did not win, as the award went to Keri Hilson, but she looked fab on the red carpet! View the full nominees/winners list here.

Check out some more pictures below the cut.

Lily Allen won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. She’s been MIA lately because she’s about to go on an indefinite hiatus from her singing career. I know I’ll miss her even more, but trust she’ll be very successful and entertaining in whichever endeavors she chooses; which looks to be getting her own record label off the ground.

Here she is performing her hit “The Fear” at the Brits last night.

I like seeing a full-figured and athletic woman in a glamour photoshoot. We need to see different body types in our magazines. See the entire spread here.

And if a photo layout isn’t enough, VIBE also has a great video with Serena’s man, Common, who comments on her Aussie Open title. So cute!

See for yourself:

I love it. Not only because I like these three ladies, but also because the ‘do looks great on all 3 of them!
