eye catching as you like, in fact, the bolder the better!
Cocktail rings make your hands
look more feminine and petite. And they are so effortless – no buttons or

Kelly Rowland talked to MTV Russia about the Russian singer Dima Bilan, when she visited Moscow on October 17th. Watch the interview below and read the translation by IriinaBiilan:
- I saw so many cool guys today. They’re very nice. But I liked one the most - it’s Dima Bilan. It seems that he is really hot and handsome.
- Have you heard any of his songs?
- No, but I have his CD and I will listen necessarily, just today in the evening. I know that he is working with Timbaland and also know that he doesn’t work with any ordinary singer. So this is great.

Kelly Rowland has revealed she has got to ask her mother’s permission to move to London.
The former Destiny’s Child singer had previously said she was house hunting in the capital as she loves it so much, but when her mum heard the news, Kelly got into trouble.
The US star confessed: “It’s so funny because word got back to my mum that I planned to move to London and she’s not very happy about me being so far away from home! I made the decision on my own to do it so I think I’m going to have to slow my pace up as far as moving to London quickly is concerned. I need to go back home and see my mum. I am 27 but I still have to ask my mum as funny as that sounds.”
But the R&B star added she was still looking at possible houses in London while she waits for her mum’s seal of approval.
Kelly revealed in August: “I’m very comfortable in London, and that says a lot. I feel like I’m at home. I really like north London. I’m going to check out lots of places there as soon as possible.”

An evening of feel good music. In the best tradition of groovy jazz, funk and Motown soul. In the foreground, two singers who touch our hearts with their powerful soul voices. One is N’Dea Davenport, the front woman of the British cult band The Brand New Heavies, who founded the Acid Jazz movement and who number amongst the best live bands of this genre. After a six year hiatus, the band, which took the international charts by storm in the 90s with hits like «Dream On Dreamer», «Never Stop», «You Are The Universe» returns in its original line-up.
The second chartbuster of the evening is American soul lady Kelly Rowland. As a member of the most successful female pop trio of all times – Destiny’s Child – she attained extraordinary hit parade success. For the last few years, she has proven that she is a versatile musician and singer, who will firmly establish the theme of funky grooves this evening with her multi-faceted voice.
