Jordin Sparks Holding True To Her Abstinence Promise

Jordin Sparks is continuing to keep her promise of abstinence and isn't afraid to talk about it. She joins Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers in this movement of young celebrities being vocal about waiting to have sex until marriage.

"I don’t want to give away bits of my soul to lots of different guys - I want to give all of myself to the right man on the right night, and the right night is my wedding. "You can’t say for sure what’s going to happen in the next five years, but I really can’t see myself breaking my vow. "My family would never let me get out of line and run wild."

But that isn't stopping the American Idol alum from holding a few crushes. One being Mr. Chris Brown (yeah, get in line).

"Chris is so hot. I had a crush on him for a couple of years and, well, I still do. Rihanna came to the video shoot. I didn’t know they were dating - they were doing the ‘just good friends’ thing in the media - and I thought ‘Oooh, maybe I have a chance’. But it’s not to be. They are a sweet couple. I wish them all the best."

Jordin Sparks Has A Career Threatening Throat Injury

Nooooo, I love Jordin Sparks! The American Idol singer has been forced to cancel three shows over the past weekend because of something called an acute vocal cord hemorrhage. Don't ask me what that is, but it doesn't sound good. She was set to open for Alicia Keys at Penn State last night, but that didn't happen.

"Because of the risk of permanent vocal cord damage, Sparks has been ordered to strict vocal rest and will not be able to perform anywhere until her condition improves," said a spokesman for the arena at Penn State.

In the worst cases, the condition requires surgery on the vocal cords. Yikes! Fingers crossed for Jordin to get well soon!

Vanessa Williams & Jordin Sparks At The NAACP Image Awards

Vanessa Williams as usual looked gorgeous on the red carpet of the "39th Annual NAACP Image Awards" in Los Angeles. Her dress is beautiful and what really makes it perfect is that black one sided shoulder strap. Love it. Did you know, Ms. Williams will be turning 45 this March 18th? I gotta say she still looks amazing.

Also in attendance was American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. The floor length brown dress is classic and simple without being too old. After all Jordin just turned 17 and has quite a few years left before she has to start dressing like the rest of Hollywood.

Jordin Sparks Leaving "The Morning Show"

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks was all smiles as she left "The Morning Show" studios after an appearance. I am so happy that she is making the rounds promoting her music. She really does have a beautiful voice AND she is so young!! What do you think about her yellow and black dress? I can't decide if I like it or not. I think the pattern might be throwing me off, though the cut is very nice.

Love It Or Hate It: The 30th Annual Kennedy Center Honors Gala

I really don't know where to begin... nicely. So let's just start with the facts. The 30th Annual Kennedy Center Honors gala was held at The Kennedy Center in Washington DC and a variety of celebrities came out for the party. Ranging from Ciara to Aretha Franklin, these ladies brought an interesting mix to the affair. Who was on point? Who needed a little help in the dress selection department?In other news, while getting my nails done yesterday the place had a movie on called Terror Peak which starred Lynda Carter as the mom. It was THE WORST movie I've ever seen. And I'm not just trying to be over dramatic. I literally mean THE worst movie. I had to ask to see the cover because I couldn't believe what I was watching. People were falling onto rocks and the mattress would be in the shot. Helicopter rides were shot with a still picture behind it. It was SOOO obvious the plane wasn't moving. We were all laughing! Fake lava looked like hand lotion dripping from caves. And Lynda Carter was in IT! After my nails were long dry, I kept on going because I had to see how the thing ended. I know what my stocking stuffer is going to be this year! :)
