Above: Rihanna at 2006 Fashion Rocks
Fergie must have never heard the old adage about not repeating the same fashion — because she’s set to perform at Condé Nast’s Fashion Rocks for the third year running this fall.
Fergie Ferg won’t be the only repeat offender. The Black Eyed Peas, who joined her on one song two years ago, will also headline along with Beyoncé, who headlined in 2006 too.
Also coming back to the Fashion Rocks stage are Mariah Carey (who headlined in 2005) and Rihanna (who performed with Elton John in 2006). But this year’s show will have some new energy from the likes of Justin Timberlake, Duffy, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne for the event’s fifth anniversary. Keith Urban and Kid Rock are also on the bill.
The concert will take place September 5 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall and will be taped as a two-hour program to air four nights later, September 9, on CBS. Proceeds from the event will benefit Stand Up to Cancer.

Jennifer Lopez made a huge impact with her song, “If You Had My Love” back in 1999. It was the first single off her first album, and Jennifer and her producers chose the song very carefully.
Now Chante Moore has said that “If You Had My Love” was really her song and that they rewrote it for Jennifer.
According to one source, Chante’s “second single entitled “If I Gave Love” was almost identical to Lopez’s 1999 hit “If You Had My Love” which resulted in Moore’s single being shelved.”
The story goes on to say it all came down because P. Diddy walked in while Chante’s song was being recorded and said that “he wanted it.” They apparently told P. Diddy the song was already written for Chante, but hey, nobody tells P. Diddy he can’t have what he wants! And thus it was rewritten for Jennifer.
Now this isn’t to say, of course, that even if Chante released “If I Gave Love” that it would have been guaranteed as a hit. Part of the success of Jen’s first single really stemmed on the video she did for the song. The video, which was essentially P. Diddy’s idea, really played on the Internet and the idea of a webcam watching Jennifer in her home. Then it switched gears and gave Jen a chance to show off her dance moves, before going back to the original melody.
Remember that great video? Here it is.
Here’s Chante talking about this on NPR. The part where she mentions J-Lo is about five minutes in if you’d like to fast forward.
Want to decide for yourself? Here’s a clip of Chante singing “If I Gave Love.” See if you think it would have been hit had it been released back in 1999.
I do hear similarities in the music in the beginning, but from that point on I think Jen’s song is really very different. What did you think?

Hayden Panettiere’s most recent Candie’s photoshoot is so awesome. I’m loving this photo above the most. And apparently, Candie’s is too, as this is theit feature Hayden Panettiere promotional photograph at the moment.
I’m also loving the picture of Hayden in a short, brown wig, putting on makeup (photo can be found on the next page). I think she looks super hot with brown hair…might be something to think about the next time she decides to do another drastic move with her weave.
Hayden and Candie’s seem to be scratching each other’s backs quite well as of late. Candie’s shoes fully funded Hayden’s video for her new single, ‘Wake Up Call,’ in exchange for it featuring the new Candie’s television advertisements.
Although, I’m not sure what a great idea all that was…if she’s trying to start a whole new groove with her music, and get it to be more recognized and self-important, maybe she shouldn’t advertise someone else’s merchandise on her video? It seems like that would take away from the whole point of what she’s trying to do, but hey, that’s just me.

I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but word has it that Christina Aguilera is NOT doing FashionRocks5 this year. Christina’s name has been removed from the FashionRocksLive Web site. It kind of begs the question of whether she ever was supposed to be a part of it, doesn’t it?
I previously posted my concerns about would she or wouldn’t she, and now it seems that she won’t. It’s a shame, especially considering she’ll be in New York that week. It all seemed logical that Christina would be a part of Fashion Rocks this year. Or did it?
