friday 08.24 - divAmeter

there's a longer divadash below, but let's get to the REAL STUFF. the divAmeter.

this week, we have a stunning upset. if you'll recall - on every previous divAmeter, amy winehouse has had a magnificent showing. not this week. and the battle between rihanna and beyonce comes to a head.

see last week's rankings here.




1. Rihanna - 70
Rihanna comes in at 70 this week and tops the divAmeter. it's astounding, really, if you ponder it a moment given the astronomical highest score last week (195 by beyonce). but, with no vma nominations roaring in this week, the scores couldn't climb quite as high. admittedly, rihanna got an extra boost this week for rockin that cast like it ain't no thang.


2. Beyonce - 65
Beyonce took a hit this week with yet another concert debacle. this time, however, there's just not much sympathy left. good thing she had on a bra. she also had several outings for her fashion line and perfume, but she's cooling off for the time being. there's a rumor of an 08 album, too...why can i just not get excited anymore?




3. Ciara - 60
If anyone knows how to hold their spot, it's Ciara. She comes in at number 3 again this week. Go figure. I'm just ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ on her right now. Until she switches up that hair and makeup again, or stops rockin that 2001 urban look, I just can't get excited.



4. Alicia Keys -55
Alicia, Alicia. Does she have an album coming out soon? She'd better, cause she's spot on with this movie promotion. She's looking gorgeous (she's really never looked better) and redeemed herself in a cute jumpsuit on MTV after that disastrous leopard print dress :(




5. Jennifer Lopez - 45

Jenny shares the fifth spot with Mariah this week. I'm really liking her peaceful not overwhelming publicity these days. Remember the Bennifer days? It seems like she really learned her lesson and now knows how to show up sparingly and get great shots, which is really all you need...





5. Mariah - 45
Mariah ties, but I have a feeling we're about to see our favorite diva ROCKET to the top and stay there Beyonce style for the next three months. Her Interview cover is probably the first of a bunch of covers. And Mariah is the original publicity DIVA. We'll see how the next few months unfold with her. Can't wait.


-100 of the week

Amy Winehouse at -75
you can read more about this in the divadash below, but homegirl is wilin. she needs serious help, but she LEFT rehab. she needs to say yes, yes, yes, for real this time :(

it's also worth mentioning that Britney, after coming in at a PERILOUS -130 last week, is at a respectable -5 this week. i mean, sure she turned down a duet with Justin, but she actually has a new record. even though the record SUCKS, it means she's recording and trying to do SOMETHING with her career which is ALWAYS a plus.

I'll have divadrops later -- yeah, yeah, that's what I get for skipping a few days on the posting :)

Amy looks awful. And I really like her music, but wow. She's killing me right now!
