There’s actually a list called “The 16 Sexiest Women Alive.” And “TV One Access” will be counting down the names on the list. But here’s the headline: Oscar-winner Halle Berry takes the top slotThe program will debut at 2 p.m. Sunday on cable channel TV One.

The list also includes model/host Tyra Banks, singer Alicia Keys and “Deja Vu” star Paula Patton. There are other categories, such as “sexiest athletes” and “sexiest sense of style.” Michelle Obama, wife of Sen. Barack Obama, receives a special mention for “quintessential complete package.” Wouldn’t you like to know what she thinks of that? “TV One Access” didn’t mention Oprah Winfrey — proving that you can’t be on every list. But wait … “The women selected as our 16 sexiest black women aren’t just pretty faces,” said Monique Chenault, senior producer of “TV One Access.” “Each one of them is uniquely talented, strong-minded and self-assured. Now what could be sexier than that?” Is strong-minded and self-assured are the keys, where’s Oprah?

“Disturbia” Review

Rodrigo — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:26:48 +0000

Billboard Review:
Disturbia:RIHANNA
Producer(s): Brian Kennedy
Label: Def Jam

Rihanna has scored 10 top 40 hits since her career launched in 2005. More staggering, the 20-year-old has four songs riding the Pop 100: top two “Take a Bow,” Maroon 5 duet “If I Never See Your Face Again” just entering the top 40, “Don’t Stop the Music” inside the top 40 after 30 weeks—and now “Disturbia.” It’s safe to say that Rihanna is the premier artist of the second half of the decade, with no signs of wear and tear. This latest is a sort of “Thriller” for partygoers, with multilayered vocals cascading across Ri’s lower register, alongside fun scatting, a la “bum bum bi dum bum” with co-writing (and background vocals) from the irrepressible Chris Brown. Rereleased albums with added cuts have become a tedious trend, but “Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded” is actually worth its weight in platinum. In short order, Rihanna has become the trustworthy “it” girl of our time.—Michael Menachem
