Mary J. Blige’s Top 40 Hottest And Wildest Looks

As Mary J. Blige gets set to perform on VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul (airing Mon., Dec. 19 at 9PM EST), we’ve been wondering why the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is so universally loved. We’d guess it partially has to do with Mary J. practicing what she preaches in her hit “My Life.” The lyrics, in case you’ve forgotten:

When you’re feelin down
You should never fake it
Say what’s on your mind
And you’ll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease

Mary has always been unafraid to speak her mind, both in her music and to the press. She’s open about her personal struggles and pain, and this feels refreshing in an age when many celebs seem muzzled as part of image campaigns. In other words, Mary J. is always Mary J. She’s moved from a rough life in a Yonkers housing project to A-list mega-star who hangs out at Vanity Fair Oscar parties — all the while retaining impeccable street cred. We usually arrange our Top Hottest Looks photos from least to most hot. But with this feature we’ve arranged them in chronological order. You’ll notice that Mary J. has had a dramatic style metamorphosis over the years. As her fame has grown, it seems her style savvy and number of stylists has too.

Catch VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul Monday, Dec. 19 at 9PM EST. The lineup includes Mary J. Blige, plus Jennifer Hudson, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Florence + The Machine, Kelly Clarkson, Jessie J and many others.

Lil’ Kim’s Black Friday Album Cover Features A Beheaded Nicki Minaj

Ok, now we’re starting to worry that Lil’ Kim really needs some anger management. Her mixtape, Black Friday, was released on February 14th and along with the title diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj, the cover art features Kim and a beheaded Minaj in a pool of blood. Tell us how you really feel, Kim, seriously.

The “feud” between the two musicians has gone on since November, stemming from Minaj calling Kim a “has-been.” She has since praised Kim, to no avail, since Kim has used every opportunity since then to put Minaj down. Hell hath no fury like a rapper scorned, we guess. The outrageous cover must have worked in her favor though because the mixtape apparently sold 113,000 copies and made over $1 million on Monday. This proves one of two things: either Lil’ Kim is NOT a has-been, or Nicki Minaj is a great marketing tool.

Lil’ Kim Really Wants To Keep This Beef With Nicki Minaj Alive

Last November, Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj were engaged in a little war of words. Maybe you’ll recall that Lil’ Kim’s song “Black Friday,” released the day after Thanksgiving, basically tore Minaj a new one, with lyrics calling Minaj a “Lil’ Kim Clone” among other things, and mocked her album “Pink Friday.” Kim’s diss track was a response to Minaj calling Kim a “has been” on the song “Roman’s Revenge” earlier in the year.

It seemed like in 2011, everything was copacetic and the beef had blown over, but Lil’ Kim has struck back yet again with a mixtape also called Black Friday, which will release on February 14. Kim tweeted yesterday “Black Friday the mixtape – 2/14/11- WHO THE F— WANT WAR? #ItsBlackFridayHoe LEGOOOO!!!!!” Not so subtle, that one. Minaj has yet to respond to the Tweet but she maintains that she’s got nothing but love for Kim. Love, not war, ladies! The album comes out on Valentine’s Day, can’t we all just share some UR SWEET and BE MINE candy hearts and get along?

Recognize Who This Is?

lil kim at quo live 150111

It’s Lil’ Kim! Or is it really? We can’t tell. If the photo’s we saw had not been captioned we would’ve never been able to guess it was the rapper. Kim was performing live for Rockit at Club QUO in New York City late last week and poured herself into a plunging gold sequin top and tight purple pants for the occasion.

But it’s her face that we can’t quite figure out. The light hair is fine, but doesn’t her face look … oddly stretched? There’s nary a line in sight even though she’s got her mouth stretched open. And she’d got those weird unnaturally beige lips that Snooki tends to rock. Hair face, contact lenses… what’s going on here? Tell us what you think about Li’l Kim’s new look?

MC Lyte Weighs In On Nicki Minaj Vs. Lil’ Kim

Divas |Divas Photos |Divas Video |Celebrity News

Nicki Minaj, one of the performers at the 2010 VH1 Divas Salute The Troops show tonight, hasn’t been around long, but already she has a beef with fellow rapper Lil’ Kim, whose song “Black Friday” is about as scathing as it gets. On the track, Kim calls Minaj a “Lil’ Kim clone clown” and says “It’ll be a murder scene, I’m turning Pink Friday into Friday the 13th,” (and those are some of the more polite lyrics we can print). So, who better to weigh in on the beef than MC Lyte, who has been around for decades and showed up herself at the Divas show?

When she was asked what she thought about who would beat who in a battle royale between the two rappers, MC Lyte actually shocked us when she replied “There’s room for everyone, but those who really need to be worried about Nicki’s record is Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado…Nicki is coming out to win…and she’s more able to handle what it takes right now to be an international star.” Didn’t see that coming, but we have to say, she has a point. As for why Kim would dis Nicki, Lyte says “It’s what an MC thrives on…it’s that competitive nature that hip hop brings to the community.” And it’s also what makes a you a VH1 Diva. Check out the full video of our interview with MC Lyte at the 2010 VH1 Divas Salute To The Troops, which aired tonight.

Nicki Minaj’s Top 20 Most Bootylicious Pics

5501

VH1 Divas performer Nicki Minaj is nothing if not larger than life. She has a highly theatrical rap style, dons Gaga-esque outfits, has big beefs (we’re waiting for a response to Lil Kim‘s diss track) — and, yes, an ass that only Coco could match. Nicki’s ultra-ample booty, which even gramps Regis Philbin can’t resist grapping, has been the source of constant Internet chatter for more than a year. Some say it’s all natural and others claim her proportions aren’t physically possible.

Nicki addressed rumors that the junk in her trunk contains pads earlier this year. “Absolutely not,” she told the New York Post. “People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece.” But she hasn’t addressed injection rumors. Regardless, we’re pretty sure she has the right ASSets (sorry, bad pun!) to entertain the troops. Check Nicki Minaj’s Top 20 Most Bootylicious Pics below and watch VH1 Divas Salute the Troops on Sunday, Dec. 5 at 9/8c.

Lil’ Kim’s Top 25 Most Revealing, Ridiculous Outfits Ever

550

Long before Lady Gaga shocked us with her meat gown, Rihanna rocked Raggedy Ann hair, and Katy Perry adorned her breasts with pastries, there was a lil’ lady rockin’ little but a pasty and spandex. Rapper and up-and-coming fashion designer Lil’ Kim has been redefining “formalwear” since the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

While compiling Kim’s Top 25 most outrageous outfits, we became uncomfortably familiar with her fluctuating breasts and not-so-elusive ass cleavage. Consider yourselves warned.

Finally, We Can All Dress Like Lil’ Kim!

lil_kim_main

Lil’ Kim may be tiny, but she has an enormous closet filled with outfits best suited for an X-rated clown. Er, we mean that as a compliment! Her fashion style could certainly be described as risk-tasking; it could also be called ridiculous. However you label it, her outfits keep us entertained and always on the look out for what she’s going to wear next.

Kim originally launched a fashion line back in 2004 called Hollyhood which never caught on, so she’s refocused her sartorial eye on a new line, 24/7 Star: Goddess Collection. Because if there’s anyone who is both a 24/7 star AND a goddess, it’s Lil Kim. Celebrity Clothing Line reports that Lil Kim debuted the new fashion line at Charlotte (yes, in North Carolina) Fashion Week and from what we’ve seen, it’s all about shoulders and angles and not about pasties, boobs and skin.

Would you get decked out in one of her dresses? Check out the video below and let us know if you want some Lil Kim in your closet.

The Top 20 Skimpiest VMA Outfits Of All Time

5501

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Musicians, celebrities and irrelevant D-Listers are gathering together once again this Sunday evening to celebrate the MTV Video Music Awards. Sure the VMAs are about music and videos and honoring future one-hit wonders (a-ha, anyone?), but really what they’re about is said stars and wannabees shocking us with their outfits…or lack there of.

The Grammys are where the music industry goes to class it up, but the VMAs are all about getting down. Like, nipple pasties down. We’ve picked out the skimpiest outfits to grace the VMAs white carpet over the years, scroll through the skin to see our number one skimpiest outfit.

Did we miss anyone? Tell us in the comments, and don’t forget to tune into the VMAs this Sunday night at 9/8c to see who leaves the house in next to nothing this year! Our money is on Best New Artist nominee Ke$ha – though maybe host Chelsea Handler will shock us with a little skin. We can’t wait!

Tila Tequila Has A Nipple Slip

Prior to Tila Tequila announcing her engagement, Tila and “fiance” Casey Johnson walked the red carpet at the Famous Stars and Straps 10th Anniversary and Snoop Dogg’s 10th Album Event and had a little slip of the nip. That’s right – Tila’s areolas just popped out of her top and posed for the cameras too. Although Tila’s nipples made their red carpet debut, she’s not the fist celebrity to have a little booby wardrobe malfunction. Check out our gallery of other celebrity nipple slips!
