Known for their male aura, rumor has it N.E.R.D is now taking in a female voice to strengthen their vocal backup for their new album, due out in 2010. All we can hope for is that Rhea, their soon-to-be female group member, sings as pretty as she looks.  The question we’re all asking ourselves is, do they really need lady company?  What we do know is that there are a lot of lead female singers out there, so if it isn’t Rhea’s time to shine, we know a few super-sexy singers that would fit perfectly fine – check out the gallery for our suggestions.

Set your sight on fall’s new leopard print booties.  As our girl Rihanna did, release your inner “wild cat”. You may enjoy it.

After the incident involving Rihanna and Chris Brown, many have had their opinions and passed their own judgement. Affion put in his two cents with this spoof of Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West’s “Run This Town.” Affion cleverly titled this video “Hunt Chris Brown.”

Another recent controversial event in the media was Kanye West’s VMA oops moment. Three apologies to Taylor Swift later has brought this video to life. Affion used “Hate” featuring Kanye West off of Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 for this one…

Affion has also enjoyed creating music video spoofs. He uses T-Pain’s “Chopped N Screwed” featuring Ludacris for this next video. Looks like some “hot damn food” needs to be on the menu these days…

It has to be said, Affion is talented in making himself look like all different artists. Kanye, Ludacris, T-Pain, Jay-Z and now Lil Wayne. Check out this spoof of Lil Wayne’s “Mr. Carter” featuring Jay-Z…

One of Alphacat’s best and most recent parodies takes a spin on Drake’s “Best I Ever Had.” As many all ready know, Drake was criticized for the obvious failed attempt for a video for the popular song.

Not even the president of the United States can get away from a little spoof. Check this video out of Barack Obama’s version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.”

What do some of you think of the trend of  spoof videos?

Princess Rhi-Rhi hit up the town last week showing off her nipple piercings with a see through top. Many celebrities aren’t scared to walk around showing their various body piercings. Ever wonder which celebrities have more than just an ear piercing? Check out the gallery to find out…

2. Jay-Z: HOV laid out the blueprint to his life surrounding The Blueprint 3, marriage, and owning the New Jersey Nets when he appeared on “The Late Show With David Letterman,” Wednesday night. The multi-mogul, in a recent interview pouted about not getting enough credit for all he’s done as the president of Def Jam. Right, because your millions are pions and you couldn’t possibly be satisfied could you Jigga.

3. Rihanna: The quiet spoken diva was all look and flair while she galavanted around NY for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s “Fashion Night Out.” RiRi looked fierce in her all black dress while paparazzi clang to the superstar singer like a bee to honey. Other R&B sexy ladies attended “Fashion Night Out” including Amerie, Solange, and Keri HIlson.

4. 50-Cent: Curtis Jackson’s been a real business thug, I mean man lately. The rapper was in NYC yesterday promoting his new book ‘The 50th Law,’ and he just released a new single with Ne-Yo called “Baby By Me,” for his upcoming fifth studio album Before I Self-Destruct. Hope the book sells more than his last album did.

5. Mary J. Blige: The paparazzi couldn’t seem to get enough of the veteran R&B singer as she left her Manhattan hotel wearing a dazzling black leather jacket, black pumps, and blue rolled up jeans number. As usual the paparazzi were on the prowl in NY also catching Jamaican rapper Sean Paul leaving Bryant Park and Chris Breezy arriving at the JFK International Airport Thursday morning. Aren’t you suppose to be doing community service mister?

6. Keri Hilson: The sultry singer/writer is letting it all out in her new music video “Slow Dance.”

7. Drake: The Canadian newby and Weezy F. Baby can’t seem to get enough of each other. Seems like Wayne is taking the place of Birdman as a teacher and Drake has taken over the role of Wayne as the pupil. The duo released another track called ‘My Darlin’ Baby.” Let’s just hope there’s no kissing on the mouth in the future for these two man-crushes.

8. Kanye West: With a jigsaw-puzzled new haircut Ye had to have known he was going to win at the famed BMI Urban Music Awards last night. Among the other winners to take home awards were LIl’ Wayne and Keri Hilson.

9. Michael Jackson: When will they leave leave MJ at peace in his grace? Now, the scheduled tribute concert for the late great King of Pop has been cancelled because of scheduling conflicts. It’s probably not happening because all the celeb singer’s that were supposed to be involved denied affiliation. Hopefully Jermaine Jackson wasn’t lying about the tribute to get some attention.

10. Whitney Houston: After the circulating rumors that Whitney cracked on the Oprah Winfrey Show turned out to be more of a publicity stunt Grammy winner has been going full force with her brand new video for her hit single “I Look To You.” The R&B singer is currently #1 on the Billboard charts.
