And it seems it is in very, very short supply. The singer was apparently very furious with her limo driver who was two minutes late to pick her up at the airport. Wow… not even Mariah Carey would’ve had that short a fuse… she would’ve probably given the man thirty seconds or one minute extra. Moreover, Whitney Houston even started taking it out on innocent travelers, even one who whished her a good day. Who would’ve imagined she of all people would have such a short fuse? The divas of today should watch out because it looks like they have some serious competition and Whitney Houston is probably not here to screw around either.
It’s been reported that Christina Aguilera has scored herself her first big screen role in the upcoming flick ‘Burlesque’. That movie is now bound to become a battle of the divas as iconic singer Cher has also been cast. It is a musical after all. Cher plays the owner of the burlesque club at which Christina’s character works. Cher also acts as the mentor to Christina’s small-town girl character. Considering the interactions that their characters are going to have, you know there’s going to be a duet or two between the divas. That’s going to be something to really look forward to – even if the movie sucks.
Despite performing in Las Vegas, Cher reveals that she actually lives like a nun, refraining from speech to preserve her voice, communicating via text and email instead and not having much sex. At 62, the singer is more focused on work and has a new album in the works which she describes as “a little bit more guitar-oriented, a little bit more like ‘I Found Someone’ feeling, and there’s some stuff that’s still sort of guitar-oriented, but it’s got a Southern feeling to it. You know, I just find songs that I like and then I do them and hopefully they make something cohesive.” I wonder when her new album will come out.
I doubt Beyonce will still look this good when she goes past her 40s. One of the original divas, Diano Ross, looked ravishing in red at a concert in Las Vegas this past weekend. The singer is already 64 years old but she still looks mighty amazing. People can only wish to look like she does at that age when they’re only 34! I wonder what her secret is to still looking so gorgeous. I bet she can make money off of that. She can have it patented. Diana will be around forever! She may even outlast Cher! Ok, that’s still up for debate.
Singer, actress and diva Jill Scott will be welcoming her first child into this world in April. Congratulations! Jill spilled the beans late last week at a press conference for her new HBO show ‘The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency’. She revealed that she found out about the pregnancy just before leaving for Botswana, where she filmed the series. She said “The first trimester I spent in Botswana. That was one of the biggest challenges of my life. First trimester! You’re sick every morning. It was seven hours time difference, the heat, the bugs, the 14 hour days.” I wonder what she’s having, a boy or a girl.
