Willow Smith Performs

On Ellen & Interview


The episode of Willow Smith on the Ellen DeGeneres Shows airs later today; but I was lucky enough to find some video of her appearance.

This was the first time that the 10 year old performed ‘Whip My Hair’ and she did an amazing job. Most importantly, this proves to all of Willow’s critics that she can sing! I am lost for words with this girl; she is definitely going to be a big star in due time. With all that personality, talent, looks and the ‘it’ factor at such a young age, Willow is definitely a force to be reckoned with. I just hope that she does not become one of those child stars, who gets into drugs and all that crazy stuff in their late teenage years.

On the other hand, its funny how a 10 year old can sing Rihanna’s song much better than her. No hard feelings Riri…I still love you xoxo

Diamond’s Car Repoed At A Video Shoot w/ Young Money



Diamond, formerly of the Atlanta based group Crime Mobb, was in for a rude awakening last night when her car was repossessed while she was on the set of a video shoot. Eyewitnesses claim she was on the set of  Lil Chuckee of Young Money’s video shoot when the repo man showed up and started towing her 2010  Yellow Camero away.
According to Diamond’s twitter, she was dumbfounded on why they showed up to repo her car as she had just bought the car on October 19th. She tweeted:
