Don't Tell Rihanna You're Sorry

Also check out her hit "Disturbia" if you're feelin freaky.

Pussycat Dolls Grow Up
What do Pussycat Dolls become when they grow up? Other kinds of older cats? I'm not sure, but according to their new single, the Pussycat Dolls want the following:
1) To be famous
2) To be a star
3) To be in movies
4) See the world
5) Drive nice cars
6) Have groupies
Sounds nice. I think the dolls have pretty much all of those things ... so I guess they're grown up already?
The Pussycat Dolls are back with their hot new single When I Grow Up.

Pop Divas
Since the birth of popular music, female artists have maintained a constant prescence in the music world. Throughout the decades, there are those special few that come along to help change the face of music, inspiring future generations.Aretha Franklin emerged as what many people consider to be the 'First Diva’. She was a pioneer who defined soul music. Also, leading the way were Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes. Dionne Warwick also enjoyed a good amount of success.
In the 70's, a young Ann Wilson with her band Heart emerged onto the rock scene. Ann’s voice was so strong that she was often compared to Led Zeppelin front man, Robert Plant. She paved the way for the many female rock bands that would soon follow.
Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson dominated the 80's with numerous Top 40 radio hits. In this decade, many Divas from the past, re-vived their careers in the form of duets. Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Aretha and Cher all scored duets with the top males artists of the time. Tina Turner also returned to sell millions of copies of her solo album "Private Dancer" .
The early 90's brought two of the hottest Pop/R&B Divas of all-time, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey. With mentors Andre Harrell and Sean “Puffy” Combs helping to mold her sound, Mary was off to a stellar start. She released five smash hits in the first two years of her career and was deemed the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". Mariah Carey achieved the most number one hits for any female artist. She has had success as a singer, an actress and remains one of the top voices in music.
Today, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Fergie all dominate the radio airwaves, video markets and the fashion industry. With the advent of Ringtones and digital sales now coming into play, the new media has catapulted their status to new measures and has helped to broaden their fan base.
