So I haven’t been able to see the site for the past few days, when I had my little snow day break. So now I’m finally able to see the site and upload stuff so let’s get back to business.

Paula Abdul has claimed that her work has inspired current stars such as Rihanna and Beyoncé.

The American Idol judge said that her videos are an “almanac for every performer”, reports WENN.

She explained: “My videos stand the test of time. Even Rihanna has come up to me and said, ‘I hope you don’t mind’, and Beyoncé. You can see the influence of what I’ve done.

“It’s really fun to see that I’ve left a mark. It was my idea to create an animated character. It takes a lot of focus, a lot time, and a lot of money.”

Abdul, who recently revealed that judging the US talent show can be a “tough battle” as she has to destroy young talent, rose to fame in the 1980s and sold more than 23 million records worldwide.

Pretty funny. Someone did a spoof of Single Ladies as President Obama! Check it out.

When is an exclusive not an exclusive? No, it’s not a riddle. The answer is simple — when everybody has the very same story or image or film. ABC had acquired the exclusive broadcast of President Barack Obama’s first dance with Michelle at the Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration, which was the first ball that the new First Couple attended.

With Grammy-winner Beyonce singing “At Last” just for them, the two danced alone together on stage. However, ABC’s first dance exclusive ended up on other networks.

The network reportedly paid $2 million for the exclusive images of the Prez and First Lady looking very much like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (you know, white tie and tails, gorgeous, flowing gown), but it didn’t work out that way.

After other press pleaded with the network for footage of the President’s speech, ABC agreed to share. However, instead of just running Obama’s words, including comments about how great Michelle looked (and she did), all three cable news channels took some liberties with the feed and showed the dancing, too.

ABC is ticked off, according to insiders, but what can it do about it now? It sounds rather naive on its part to assume that in this day and age of everybody copping everybody else’s rights that in this instance, the other channels wouldn’t use the tape. Of course, if the others had, they could have seen Michelle and Barack dancing to “At Last” at nine other inauguration balls! They danced all night long. ABC with Beyonce’s vocal was just the first and the best.

Beyonce is nominated for a Brit Award! She is nominated in the category of International Female Solo Artist! Along with other artists such as Katy Perry and Santogold. So it’s a very diverse group of nominees! Hopefully she’ll be attending and/or performing. I’m still looking forward to that first performance of Diva!

Beyonce was interviewed by ABC after her performance for the Obamas at the Neighborhood Ball last night! She was very emotional, proud, and humbled about her performance as their first dance. I missed it last night because I had to catch the Housewives…Anyway, watch the video below. I love it.
