No wonder Chris Brown is a happy man. Rihanna recently admitted that she loves her provocative concert costumes so much, she can’t resist taking them home.

I like to push the envelope sometimes. It depends on the mood and the occasion. It’s always fun to take some home. Sometimes I get to do that.

Hope they at least don’t have sex with an open umbrella in the room…that’s ah, that’s bad luck you know

The newest person to testify against R. Kelly in his child pornography trial is the artist’s former personal assistant, Lindsey Perryman.

The 1997 Grammy-award winner charged with 14 counts of child pornography, pleaded not guilty in the trial that could sentence him to 15 years in prison.

The woman worked for Kelly and his family from 1999 to 2006 and has repeatedly stated that she considers him a great boss who has done nothing wrong to her during their long-term collaboration.

"I didn't want to think it was them," said Perryman on Tuesday’s trial, according to the Associated Press, after watching the 27-minute videotape. Initially, she wasn’t sure that the video featured the two, but after watching it again she became "110 percent" sure about her former boss’ presence.

She said that "The image I saw looked exactly like Mr. Kelly," as quoted by the AP, and added that she also recognized the alleged victim on tape, especially because of her distinctive features and the way she moved her mouth, smiled and talked. Perryman met the young woman on several occasions over the past few years and her testimony might not be dismissed as easily as some of the rest have been.

According to the prosecutors, the tape was made between 1998 and 2000 and that the young woman videotaped with the artist was born in September 1984.

Four other Oak Park residents testified that it is Kelly and the alleged victim on the tape. Kelly's lawyers claim that none was close to Kelly or the alleged victim by the time the tape surfaced.

The beautiful Rebecca Silvera seems to have a lot going on for her these days after being awarded the second runner-up position in the prestigious Miss Jamaica Universe 2008 competition.

Rebecca recently strutted her stuff for the first time at the launch of this year’s Caribbean Fashion Week 2008, where she dazzled the crowd. However, most interestingly, she will be representing Jamaica in the Miss Jamaica U.S.A. Pageant, to be staged mid June in New York.

When the stunning beauty gets back from the pageant, one she is hoping to win, she will be directing all her energy and focus on her dream of creating her own clothing line.

“I am in talks with some people from Sao Paulo, Brazil and South Beach, Florida to launch a very sexy clothing line. The line will consist tops and a few Brazilian cut pants, but mostly very sexy dresses that hug every curve and even enhance what is not there (ladies you know what I mean). The style will be very seductive, sexy and definitely not for the shy or conservative,” she told OutAroad.com in an exclusive interview.

For female artistes in Jamaica’s hostile dancehall circles, getting ahead is a daunting task. There is usually the speculation of who is sleeping with whom, and who have to do some immoral things to get ahead. For OutAroad.com Break Out Artiste for this Month, Tifa, those challenges are non-existent.

For Tifa, christened Latifa Brown, the road to stardom has been somewhat easy thus far. Music has always been a part of the singer/deejay life. Her stepfather, Sampalue, the reggae producer who assisted in the building of several music careers inclusive of dancehall’s queen Lady Saw, gave her a deep-rooted love for dancehall music. Her active participation in various aspects of the music began from prep school days and has since rolled on like a train.

“I love music. I have been involved with music all my life. I was a member of the Ashe Caribbean Performing Arts Academy and Ensemble and toured extensively with the group throughout the Caribbean and North America from 1996 to 2000,” she explained.

Voice Mail one of Jamaica's hottest dancehall boy groups has set a July 16 release date for its third album Jump Off. The album is the follow up to last year’s Let’s Go which was reportedly a big seller in Japan.

Jump Off will be released by Japan’s Pony Canyon label. The label released the trio’s previous sets Hey (2006); and Let’s Go (2007).

According to Voice Mail member Craig Jackson, ‘This album is so hot. The fans are going to be surprised by the material on the album. I think it’s our best album to date’, Jackson opined.

The 16 track disc will feature collaborations with producers Christopher Birch, Steven McGregor, Danny Champagnie and the Ballaz.

Missing from this album will be the signature Voice Mail dance tunes. ‘There won’t be any dance songs on the album. We’re trying different things so you can look out for a bit of R&B, dancehall, reggae, and a little bit of techno’, said Jackson.

While the album is scheduled for European release on July 16, a stateside release is currently being negotiated.

The members of Voice Mail recently completed a photo shoot for the Jump Off album in Tokyo, Japan.

“Dem a nuh Rasta - Dem a ‘Ras Hair,’
Talk this loud mi nuh fear”

Jamaica’s fast rising star, Konshens is in the spotlight again, and this time there is a bit of controversy surrounding same. The deejay who burst on the scene with the mega hit Winner (This Year Mi Affi Be Di Winna), has launched an assault on people who wrongfully associate themselves with Rastafarianism.

In some nail biting and rather witty lyrics Konshens chastises artistes that “natty up dem head”. Already there are words on the street that several Rastafarian individuals are pondering whether or not he (Konshens) is ‘throwing words’ at them.

Here are some of the lyrics that will have some artistes sweating:

“Mi si nuff a dem a natty up dem head fi get exposure,
But a real Rasta Man nuh run down riches like Dover,
Dem impersonating Rasta,
But mi Rasta friend dem seh bun up a Rasta imposter
Natty up dem head fi ketch a hype up,
Seh dem a rasta, but Rasta livity dem nah hoist up,
Wha’ kind a food that dem a bite up,
Dem seh dem a Ras, what kind of girl that dem a wife up”

Upon reaching the intersection of Belvedere and Red Hills Road a motorist, driving a Toyota Caldina, swerved to avoid a pothole and collided with the bike.

The fusion of three beautiful, talented young ladies could only produce one thing - quality. MBC (Make Boyz Cry) is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music arena. Working under the guidance of veteran producer and manager, Computer Paul, the trio has morphed into a musical force that moves beyond being simply ordinary.

MBC comprises Foxy, Diamond and Miss Chin. When they come together to sing one can expect to hear soothing rhythms, nicely blended harmony and melodies that run parallel with the beating of one’s heart. The quality of their work manifests itself in the type of material they produce.

Their latest single, Hustling Lives, is already creating a stir. The song not only possesses great lyrical content, but also some smooth melody and the delivery is priceless. “I hope that MBC will be the equivalent of a Destiny’s Child representative in Jamaica,” the girls outlined in our interview. However, from what we have heard from them thus far, their limit is boundless.

Danielle a.k.a DI has released her latest single, Ready Body, a high-powered collaboration with DJ Karim. "The single has been released to most radio stations and I am getting positive feedback so far. I will be shooting the video for Ready Body soon, and the concept is going to be mad. I am on track to have a great summer," said Danielle who shot into public attention with the popular highly-suggestive single, Beat It, last year.

Danielle also gained some amount of notoriety for the single, Man Weh Mi No Want which straight-up dissed fellow female deejay, D'Angel. Truck Back records has again joined forces with DI to produce another hot track titled; Get out of my life; on this track the singjay emits bottled feelings, she allows us to see a little more of her true persona. Danielle is definitely ready for this summer with quite a few local performances which include Reggae Sumfest's dancehall night.

A woman testified today that the female who appears in a sex video is her best friend from childhood who was 13 or 14 at the time the tape was made - and that the man in the tape is R&B superstar R. Kelly.

Simha Jamison, 24, said she met Kelly at a gym called Hoops when she was 12. Her friend, the allegedly underage girl, was about six months younger and already knew Kelly, calling him "Godfather."

As time went on, Jamison and her friend would go to downtown Chicago to visit Kelly at his recording studio and hang out, Jamison said. Kelly would sometimes give the girl money - "depending on the situation and the reason she needed it, no less than a hundred, no more than $500."

Jamison said that one day when she was a junior in high school, she saw the sex tape at the house of friends. When she saw the girl who engages in sex with Kelly, "I thought she looked just like my best friend, [the alleged victim]" Jamison said.

She recognized the man on the tape as R. Kelly, she said.

P. Diddy taped a video blog and posted it on YouTube, thanking artist Kanye West for making him fall in love with hip-hop again.

P. Diddy confessed in his first video blog, in a “keep it real” moment on YouTube, that in 1986 he saw Run DMC at The Garden, and began his dream of becoming a performer.

He then continued to say, “The other night, I go to the Kanye West concert . . . [I have] nothing but high expectations. Concert changed my life. I ain’t gonna lie. I was so impressed and inspired. It was beautiful man - and I fell in love with hip-hop again.”

Diddy created the video as a thank-you to West for his performance and vision, and for showing him [Diddy] that not all artists have forgotten what it’s all about.

Maybe his re-discovered love for hip-hop will spawn a Making the Band 5? Or a new album from Diddy himself?

Sex toys are becoming popular in Jamaica, do you believe or ever used one?

OutAroad.com:
Are you into threesome?

Danielle:
“I don’t go for guys that are into threesome, I don’t need any help I can satisfy my man on my own. Plus that’s too freaky for me. I know how to be creative; I can bring multi personalities into my bedroom. We can play sexy nurse and patient tonight, next night I am his private dancer giving him a lap dancer, swing on pole for him. I can fulfill his fantasies”

OutAroad.com:
Which do you prefer, early morning sex or in the shower?

Danielle:
“Ohhh God the both of them are really hot but the early morning ride nice. At times I get the vibe to go at it all day, run marathon. I will just go away with my man and book off overseas and spend some quality time and run it red all day all night. Some baby making ting (smile)”

According to OK! Magazine, O'Reilly said the following in an open letter:

"Dear Rihanna:
We were very excited by your and Chris Brown’s recent visit to a Miami-area KFC restaurant. Clearly, like Kentucky Fried Chicken and our founder Colonel Sanders, you two know how to kick it up a few degrees. And, Rihanna, that’s a secret recipe worth sharing with the world. We could feel the heat - literally - in our restaurant that night … so much so that we’d like to invite you and Chris back to any KFC for a free meal including the Colonel’s Hot Wings. Whether lunch or dinner, home or on the road, our doors are always open to you. Think of it as a personal way to send an SOS whenever you crave a little Original Recipe. Like you, KFC is dedicated to supporting charity causes. If you and Chris are again photographed making KFC a “hot” date-night spot, we’ll make a donation to your charity, BELIEVE, which helps underprivileged children. Hearing about your fondness for KFC was music to our ears. Please don’t stop making KFC your favorite mealtime choice. Good luck to you and we hope to see you again soon with or without an Umbrella."
