Check out Mary J. Blige working over her performance of “Just Fine” on MTV’s “New Year’s Eve Masquerade” live from their Times Square studios last night! Go on then MJB! Love muffins you have to pick up her hot like fire Growing Pains album in stores now!

Talk about starting 2008 off right! Check out Jennifer Hudson’s stunning new look that she debuted last night at The Setai New Years Eve Celebration hosted by Dylan McDermott! I heart everything about her makeover – the new fierce mushroom-bob, the body toning, and the divine white ensemble! Well done, maybe some Sex In The City style has rubbed off on her!

and you have to watch the below video that was recently sent to me that features Jennifer Hudson literally blowing there rest of her fellow American Idol contestants off the stage during their tour a couple of years ago!

Update: Mariah Carey closed the her New Year’s Eve Party at TAO, Las Vegas last night by playing her new track “Migrate” which features T-Pain! MariahDailyJournal is able to confirm that Migrate (in addition to Heat) is indeed a new song title from Mariah’s upcoming album. It is however, at this point, unknown whether or not it will be the first single. “It’s Like That,” the first single from The Emancipation of Mimi was first played by Mariah at the New Year’s Eve 2005 Party she hosted at the PURE night club in Las Vegas on December 31, 2004. What could be better than having new Mariah Carey music to provide the soundtrack for 2008 which I’m about to takeover!

Mariah Carey has completely and utterly transformed her body into tip-top condition! When I came across these pictures of Mimi today, my first thought was wow she looks amazing and my second thought was that I need to go to the gym with the quickness! Check out these photos of my diva at her super duper successful and packed TAO Las Vegas NYE 2008 party last night rocking one of the smallest splendiferous white mini dresses I have ever seen! You better work Mimi! Love muffins mark my words, Mariah is about to shutdown the music industry again in 2008 like she did in 2005 with her new album that she is about to unleash!

Here’s the video courtesy of TMZ of the songstress in Las Vegas last night counting down to the new year at TAO Nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel and click HERE to see Mariah’s The Adventures of Mimi concert performance of “Shake It Off” which premiered exclusively on the Fox network during the broadcast of “New Year’s Eve Live”.

What stories do you think were most influential this year?

Lord knows I love my music videos and 2007 gave me plenty to savor. Particularly I thought Gwen Stefani’s video for “The Sweet Escape” was not only visually groundbreaking but she looked drop-dead gorgeous in it as well. Some of the videos that I thought were particularly visually stimulating included:

Gwen Stefani – The Sweet Escape
Kanye West – Stronger
Feist – 1,2,3,4
Beyonce – Get Me Bodied
Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder
Rihanna – Umbrella

Love Muffins, Were there any videos that you thought were truly stellar this year?

We all know that celebrities are human beings and they can make catastrophic mistakes like the rest of us. The only difference is their mistakes are played out in the public forum for all the world to see. Here is my list of the dumbest moves of 2007!

- OJ Simpson Tries To Publish A Book Called “If I Did It”
- Michael Vick Is Caught In Dog-Fighting Fiasco
