James Rousseau Biography
Born on December 19, 1980 in Ashford, a town in the south east county of Kent, England, James Osborne was raised by his mom Nicola and his dad, Stephen, and was destined to stand in front of the camera, as his boyish good looks were noticed by everyone who encountered him.
Growing up he attended Abberley Hall School in Worcestershire, and in 1996, he began attending Malvern College.
James Rousseau starts modeling
One day in 1997, he was helping out a friend in the music business when a couple suggested that James should take a stab at modeling, as he was quite striking. So for laughs, James made his way to local agency called Select Models and took his chances on a potential career in modeling.
James was turned away almost immediately because he didn’t have any photos of himself, let alone a portfolio. Lucky for him, an agent spotted him as he was about to leave and decided to take a chance on him.
Rousseau photographed by Steven Meisel
After sending his amateur pictures to various photographers, it took only three weeks for the responses to come pouring in, the first of which landed him a job that included getting photographed by Steven Meisel in New York for Italian Vogue. Only two weeks after that, James was hired for a Miu Miu campaign, and it was obvious from that moment that James Rousseau had arrived.
His rise in the fashion industry came incredibly quickly and, in 1999, his success allowed him to transition from high school into college without any financial burdens. As well, his agency and his schools were quite flexible, allowing James the ability to organize his schedule as he saw fit and make up any time he missed when he could.
James has enjoyed the fruits of his success thus far, as he has been photographed with the most beautiful women in the world, including Gisele Bundchen.
James has appeared in runway shows for Cerruti Jeans, Exte, YSL, Hugo Boss, as well as editorial appearances for GQ, Elle, Esquire, and others. His face has become more and more familiar to the public, which women seem to love.
Rousseau stars in The Hole
In 2001, James landed a small role in The Hole (After the Hole in the U.S.) alongside famed actress Thora Birch (the movie went straight to video upon its release in the U.S. in 2004). But Rousseau’s first love is music and, once his modeling career begins to wind down, James has expressed interest in pursuing a music career.
James has dated Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros, whom he admits was his first love, and is currently dating Kate Bosworth. He divides his time between New York, London and Milan.
In 2008, James Rousseau is recording an album - he will be working with one of Australia’s best music producers, Louis Schoorl, at his Limestone Studios, Sydney, Australia, for several months to create his debut album.

Celebrity Flaw of the Day - Eva Longoria Cellulite
Yes, ladies, even Eva Longoria has cellulite. She's petite and virtually perfect, and still she can't escape the realities of orange peel skin. And she hasn't even had any children yet. Of course, it's no so evident that it has overtaken her body... but it is still there and should give you the confidence to put on that bikini and strut your stuff in style.
Choosing The Right Gym - 10 Tips
By Serena Daniels
Whether you just moved to a new area or have recently decided to add exercise to your weekly routine, choosing the right gym can encourage you to head there more often, hence garnering you positive results.
If you have the time, it’s a good idea to visit a few gyms before settling on one in order to see the different things offered and the setup of the gym itself.
That said, here are some more things you should keep in mind before you sign a contract.
Choosing the right gym tip #1
Location & parking
Is the gym located in a place that you would really head to before or after work, or even on the weekends? Women tend not to attend a gym that requires more than a 12-minute drive, so make sure the gym is close enough to where you work or live.
As well, if you like a gym but it takes over 10 minutes to find a parking spot, what are the chances that you’ll really be motivated to go day after day? Make sure they have adequate parking facilities.
Choosing the right gym tip #2
Staff & members
Are the staff polite and helpful or do they look at you in a territorial way? It’s important to feel welcome by the staff or you may not want to go there very often.
What about the members? Although you can’t head there for a week straight to check them all out, you can get a feel for what the clientele is like (I suggest visiting the gyms at a time that you plan to head there and train).
Feel free to ask members how they like it, what they don’t like about the gym and how long they’ve been members. They have nothing to gain by lying.
Choosing the right gym tip #3
Cleanliness
Although gyms can’t be 100% germ free, the staff can make an effort to dust and clean the machines regularly. If you see vents filled with years of dust or unhygienic practices, you shouldn’t join.
Are there towels and cleaning products available for members to clean up after themselves should they end up sweating on the machines?
Besides checking out the actual gym, take a look at the changing rooms. Are the showers clean? Are the sinks filled with hair and dirt? Are the toilets in working order and hygienic? Are empty lockers filled with dirty tissues and dried mud from women’s shoes?
Choosing the right gym tip #4
Amenities
Besides training facilities, does the gym offer daycare services, juice bars and tanning beds? It’s awesome when your gym becomes a one-stop shop for all your needs.
What about blow dryers, towels, shampoo, and soap? Does the gym offer these things or will you need to bring them yourself? I’ve been to gyms that offer everything from free apples to the locks for your lockers, but the membership costs were ludicrous.
Choosing the right gym tip #5
Hours of operation
Not only do you want to know what time the gym opens and closes, you also want to go there at a time when you plan to workout. This will help you figure out if this is the gym for you.
For example, if you plan on doing a lot of cardio at 5:30 p.m., and the gym is packed and all the machines are taken, it’s best to know that before you sign up.
Choosing the right gym tip #6
Weight training equipment
What weights do they offer? Do the weights ascend in 2.5-pound increments or 5-pound increments (if you’re a beginner, 2.5 pound increments is better)? Do the weights look old and abused or are they well-maintained? Are there a lot of benches?
What about the weighted machines? Are any of them broken or are they all well-maintained? Are there directions on how to use machines posted or are you left to guess what each machine is for?
Choosing the right gym tip #7
Cardio machines
Most gyms offer a host of cardio equipment, the most popular among them being:
-Elliptical machines
-Treadmills
-Upright and spinning bikes
-Stair climbers
-Rowing machines
Not only should you be checking if the cardio equipment is well-kept and in working order, you should also take mental note of how many machines there are. During peak hours, chances are that most, if not all, will be taken.
Do you have to sign in to reserve a machine or does it work on a first-come first-serve basis? Is there a maximum amount of time you can use a machine for?
As well, is there an aerobics room available for jumping rope and other cardio activities?
Choosing the right gym tip #8
Aerobics classes
Some gyms offer aerobics classes as part of the membership cost, while others charge you extra for attending classes. If yoga, Pilates, tae bo, and other classes are very important to you, then you need to find out how each particular gym works.
Choosing the right gym tip #9
Franchise options
If you’re checking out franchise gyms, ask about their gym-to-gym policy. That is, if you sign up to this gym near your home and there happens to be one close to your work, can you go to other one without a problem?
Some franchise gyms require that you purchase a “special’ membership in order to attend all available facilities.
Choosing the right gym tip #10
Payment plan
Find out how the payment plan works. Sometimes, it’s much cheaper to pay the entire year off in one shot rather than make monthly payments, but it’s up to you to figure out which option is best for you.
Also, inquire about the gym’s cancellation or delay policy. Some gyms will give you a partial refund and allow you to put your membership on hold if you want to go on vacation.
Before you commit yourself to the gym for a year, however, ask for a complimentary pass so that you can experience what the gym is like firsthand.
Choose the right gym
As you can see, there is a lot of ground to cover when you’re hunting for the perfect gym, but with a little effort and a lot of questions, you can find yourself the perfect place to workout.

Top 10 Ways To Relax Muscles
By Dana Laurier
Well, if you’re like most others, your body hates you for it right now, and it shows because you can barely get yourself out of bed to take a shower.
In order to reap the full benefits of any workout, you need to allow your muscles time to rest, relax and recover. Without this phase, all your hard work will be for naught.
So check out the top ways you can relax muscles and put this on your list of things to do after every workout.
Ways to relax muscles #10
Stretch
I know you’re sore and the last thing you want to do is stretch the very muscles that are aching, but you need to stretch them statically if you want to heal more quickly.
That said, never stretch in a ballistic way, that is, do not bounce when you stretch. For example, if your hamstrings ache, lie on the floor and reach for your toes, but do not, at any point bounce back and forth; this may cause serious injury.
Try to get into the stretch position and hold it for a period of 15 to 30 seconds. Your body will thank you for it.
Ways to relax muscles #9
Breathe
Sending oxygen to your muscles is very important and there’s no better way to do that than by taking deep, consistent breaths. Most people do not realize that how shallow their breathing is throughout the day, and many still don’t breathe properly when working out.
When you get home every day, take a few minutes to breathe deeply. Sit in a comfortable position and inhale slowly to a 10 count, pause for a second and exhale for a slow 10 count. Repeat this 10 times.
This will help oxygenate your muscles and speed up recovery.
Ways to relax muscles #8
Spread out
We spend so much of our time upright, making it difficult for the blood to easily travel to the parts that need it most after a tough workout. But by lying on the floor, you can change all that.
Lie down in an area where you can spread out your limbs as though to make a snow angel. Tense up your muscles and reach for the walls with your arms and feet. Hold the tension for about 10 seconds, then release. Repeat this 10 times.
Ways to relax muscles #7
Take a hot shower
Sometimes, there’s nothing more soothing than having the bathroom all to yourself and steaming it up with a nice, steaming hot shower. When you’re in the shower, take the time to lightly rub the tight areas of your body.
The heated water will increase blood flow and help more oxygen travel to your muscle, thus speeding up the healing process.
Ways to relax muscles #6
Do light cardio
I know it sounds ridiculous considering this may have been what got you into this mess in the first place, but light cardio exercise can actually help your efforts and help your muscles heal.
If possible, try to get this out of the way right after an intense workout. It will not only help increase blood flow throughout your body; it’ll also prevent drastic muscle stiffness.
Ways to relax muscles #5
Take magnesium
Keeping a handful of almonds or peanuts with you is as good as gold when it comes to muscle stiffness. Both types of nuts are rich in magnesium, which aids in signaling the nerves to relax and contract.
If nuts aren’t your cup of tea, opt instead to take a supplement (270 mg per day for a 130-pound woman); just keep in mind that you’d do best to take it with food otherwise you might get diarrhea.
Ways to relax muscles #4
Take a mineral salt bath
Believe it or not, mineral salts help to regulate all cellular function, especially those used to stimulate the heart muscle, the nervous system and the large skeletal muscles. So when you’re aching, a salty bath is the answer.
Fill up the bath with hot water and pour in a cup or two of mineral salts (can be found at any drugstore). Then sit yourself down and enjoy the sensation. For optimal results, lightly massage your aching body and rinse your body well afterwards.
Ways to relax muscles #3
Apply a cream
I hate to say it, but Ben-Gay is sometimes my best friend when the going gets tough. I know; it stinks and the world will know that you have it on, but you do have another choice.
Rather than go the route of minty stink, opt instead for some Aspercreme, it’s virtually odorless and is just as effective. Of course, couple this with ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) and your muscles will feel better in no time.
Ways to relax muscles #2
Sleep
Nothing helps your body rejuvenate itself like adequate rest. So after a tough workout, it’s important that you get your 8 hours of sleep that night. Otherwise, you recovery might take much longer than you anticipate.
To ensure that you rest adequately, try not to eat or drink anything at least 2 hours before bed time, prepare everything for the morning after before you head to bed, and clear your room of any potential interruptions like cell phones, television and intrusive lighting (alarm clocks and the like).
Ways to relax muscles #1
Get a professional massage
Above and beyond all else, the praised professional massagewill work wonders on your aching, tired body. Book an appointment today and you will be hooked for life.
Whether you opt for Swedish or deep tissue, a massage will unknot your muscles and allow for better blood circulation to areas that need it the most. Tell your massage therapist where it hurts the most and they can spend some extra time in that area.
Relax muscles, relax yourself
Usually, if you do some adequate stretching before and after your workout, you will be able to minimize muscle soreness, but most of us don’t and even when we do, it’s not long enough.
So the next best thing is learning how to deal with the muscle aches once the damage is done and, with the aforementioned tips, you should be saying goodbye to muscle aches sooner rather than later.
So you went to the gym after a month’s hiatus and decided that you would jump right into it and lift as hard and as heavy as you always do? Or better yet, you ran on the treadmill for an hour straight and felt pretty smug about having pulled it off?
Well, if you’re like most others, your body hates you for it right now, and it shows because you can barely get yourself out of bed to take a shower.
In order to reap the full benefits of any workout, you need to allow your muscles time to rest, relax and recover. Without this phase, all your hard work will be for naught.
So check out the top ways you can relax muscles and put this on your list of things to do after every workout.

Sometimes, there’s nothing more soothing than having the bathroom all to yourself and steaming it up with a nice, steaming hot shower. When you’re in the shower, take the time to lightly rub the tight areas of your body.
The heated water will increase blood flow and help more oxygen travel to your muscle, thus speeding up the healing process.
Ways to relax muscles #6
Do light cardio
I know it sounds ridiculous considering this may have been what got you into this mess in the first place, but light cardio exercise can actually help your efforts and help your muscles heal.
If possible, try to get this out of the way right after an intense workout. It will not only help increase blood flow throughout your body; it’ll also prevent drastic muscle stiffness.
Ways to relax muscles #5
Take magnesium
Keeping a handful of almonds or peanuts with you is as good as gold when it comes to muscle stiffness. Both types of nuts are rich in magnesium, which aids in signaling the nerves to relax and contract.
If nuts aren’t your cup of tea, opt instead to take a supplement (270 mg per day for a 130-pound woman); just keep in mind that you’d do best to take it with food otherwise you might get diarrhea.
Ways to relax muscles #4
Take a mineral salt bath
Believe it or not, mineral salts help to regulate all cellular function, especially those used to stimulate the heart muscle, the nervous system and the large skeletal muscles. So when you’re aching, a salty bath is the answer.
Fill up the bath with hot water and pour in a cup or two of mineral salts (can be found at any drugstore). Then sit yourself down and enjoy the sensation. For optimal results, lightly massage your aching body and rinse your body well afterwards.
Ways to relax muscles #3
Apply a cream
I hate to say it, but Ben-Gay is sometimes my best friend when the going gets tough. I know; it stinks and the world will know that you have it on, but you do have another choice.
Rather than go the route of minty stink, opt instead for some Aspercreme, it’s virtually odorless and is just as effective. Of course, couple this with ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) and your muscles will feel better in no time.
Ways to relax muscles #2
Sleep
Nothing helps your body rejuvenate itself like adequate rest. So after a tough workout, it’s important that you get your 8 hours of sleep that night. Otherwise, you recovery might take much longer than you anticipate.
To ensure that you rest adequately, try not to eat or drink anything at least 2 hours before bed time, prepare everything for the morning after before you head to bed, and clear your room of any potential interruptions like cell phones, television and intrusive lighting (alarm clocks and the like).
Ways to relax muscles #1
Get a professional massage
Above and beyond all else, the praised professional massage
Whether you opt for Swedish or deep tissue, a massage will unknot your muscles and allow for better blood circulation to areas that need it the most. Tell your massage therapist where it hurts the most and they can spend some extra time in that area.
Relax muscles, relax yourself
Usually, if you do some adequate stretching before and after your workout, you will be able to minimize muscle soreness, but most of us don’t and even when we do, it’s not long enough.
So the next best thing is learning how to deal with the muscle aches once the damage is done and, with the aforementioned tips, you should be saying goodbye to muscle aches sooner rather than later.

Celebrity Paris Hilton Winter Haircut TrendsMeditation For Women
By Alicia Socorro
You don’t have to be religious to meditate, either. But meditation will definitely raise your awareness to spirituality.
What is meditation?
Meditation is essentially “exercise for the mind.” The objective of a woman who meditates is to increase her awareness and release stress, and God knows we can all use some of that.
Meditation is used to free your mind of all thoughts and let go of all the stresses and little things that go on throughout your day. And although this might sound simple enough, you have no idea how difficult it is to focus on nothing until you try it.
Although many religions are tied to meditation, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, it is not necessary to belong to any religion to meditate.
Meditation is a great way to promote your physical and mental well being.
What are the benefits of meditation?
Meditation for women benefit #1
Deeper rest
If you have trouble sleeping because so many things weigh heavily on your mind (mortgage, relationship, work), meditation will help you clear your mind of all the stressors in your life and put the focus back on you.
Meditation for women benefit #2
Lower levels of cortisol and lactate
Stress is not just a mind problem; there are physical attributes to stress as well. Two chemicals associated with stress - cortisol and lactate - are minimized due to your newfound ability to “let things go.”
Meditation for women benefit #3
Improved flow of air
Throughout your meditation, you will attempt to focus on your breathing, so that you’re able to clear your mind of other things. So if you’re focusing on your breathing, you will definitely be taking deeper breaths and increasing the amount of air that gets to your lungs.
Meditation for women benefit #4
Decreased anxiety, depression, irritability
After awhile, you will notice that you’re able to let go of unwanted negative feelings because meditation will help you realize that there’s no point in focusing on what’s wrong in your life.
Meditation for women benefit #5
Increased happiness, memory, emotional stability
And while you’re letting go of all the nasties in your life, you will start to adapt all the niceties, and before you know it, these daily meditation exercises will have you smiling and wishing everyone a nice day.
How can you meditate?
There are no definitive rules when it comes to meditation for women, but if you want to get the most out of your sessions, this is what works best, according to experts.
Meditation for women tip #1
Meditate in the morning
If you’re not a morning person, this probably won’t work well for you, but if you are, then wake up, wash your face and get into the lotus position (legs crossed, back straight) on the floor before you have your morning coffee and get your day started.
Meditation for women benefit #2
Find a room
There’s a good chance that you won’t be able to meditate in a room that has too many distractions (stereo, TV, pictures, etc) so try to find a section of your home that will allow you to focus on you.
Meditation for women benefit #3
Sit comfortably
The lotus position is the most popular for meditation – sit on your butt and cross your legs over opposing thighs, keeping your back straight. Place the backs of your hands onto your knees and keep your neck straight.
It’s possible that you may get sleepy the first few times so you’d do best to sit with your back toward a hard surface. That way, if you begin to drift off, you’re back will hit the surface, and you’ll awaken and try to focus again.
Meditation for women benefit #4
Dedicate 10 minutes to it
In a conversation, 10 minutes doesn’t sound like very much time, but how long, on average, do you think you allow for “me” time every day? Start off with five minutes each day and, as that becomes easier, try to dedicate 10 minutes each day to meditating.
Meditation for women benefit #5
Focus on your breathing
You’d be surprised to know that most women don’t know how to breathe correctly and end up breathing from their chest or sucking in their stomachs on the inhale.
To take deep, calculated breaths, inhale, letting your stomach protrude as far as it can go and exhale slowly, bringing your stomach back to its normal position. Try to last 10 seconds on the inhale and another 10 on the exhale.
Meditation for women benefit #6
Don’t get frustrated
If you find that your mind keeps wandering away to things you have to do or things you forgot to do, don’t freak out. It’s okay to wander away, you just have to catch yourself and return to focusing on your breathing.
Meditation for women to relax
After a few weeks, you will notice that your attitude and personality have changed for the better. You will become calmer and more in tune with yourself.
And there’s nothing better than dedicating a few moments to yourself so that you can better focus on everything around you.
Originating in Vedic Hinduism, meditation is the practice of remaining in one position and focusing the mind for personal development.

Back Pain - Are Your Shoes To Blame?
By Ellen Shear
And back pain is not limited to wearing high heels on a daily basis; wearing bad shoes, whether they’re heels, flats or even running shoes, can cause severe back pain and problems that may result in something even worse.
The soles of the feet have pressure points that affect every part of the body, so if you spend over 10 hours a day wearing shoes that aren’t conducive to good posture and comfort, you can bet that problems throughout your entire body will result, especially back pain.
High heels & back pain
When you stand upright, it doesn’t take much effort for your back to maintain its posture because this is a natural stance that your body is accustomed to. You may even notice that you sway back and forth slightly when standing in one place for an extended period of time - this is normal.
The reason for this is because your plantar (calf) and dorsal (shin) muscles work together to ensure that you don’t fall forward or backward.
But when you wear high heels, your toes point forward and your heels are elevated, limiting your ability to call your plantar muscles into action. So to compensate, the muscles throughout your body, which are now completely thrown out of unison, have to work harder to help you maintain your balance, which, more often than not, results in back pain.
And when your back muscles and joints are thrown out of alignment, they, too, need to work overtime to keep you upright, resulting in tired muscles that are more susceptible to injury. All this leads to back pain; sometimes it’s so bad that you need to lie down, other times it presents itself as a small, annoying sensation.
Tight shoes & back pain
I know I’m not the only one who’s heard “I’m sorry, we don’t carry half sizes,” and then bought the shoes anyway because they were just so awesome. Well, tight shoes are just as bad as, if not worse than, high heels.
In order for your body to function properly, your feet need to be in perfect working condition whenever they touch the ground. When your feet aren’t working right, the rest of your muscles and joints will end up working harder to compensate (I must sound like a broken record by now).
While you might think that sore feet are all you have to contend with after spending a day in a pair of shoes that had your toes feeling cramped and crushed, in the long run, all the other muscles in your body that are forced to take over will begin to cause you misery as well.
To begin, your calves, thighs and back muscles will become fatigued, and tired muscles are prone to serious injury. Not to mention that your feet will hurt and become cramped, making the end result even more undesirable.
Running shoes & back pain
Not all athletic shoes are created equal. For example, there are plenty of stylish walking shoes that are not meant for any rigorous exercise and yet, day after day, I see people using them to jog or workout at the gym.
Take a look at your old running shoes - are they worn out in one specific area? For example, if the outside of your shoes’ soles are worn, it would reveal that you place the outside of your feet onto the ground first. Bringing your old shoes to the store with you may help the salesperson recommend a pair that’s adequate for your feet.
When you buy running shoes specifically designed for exercise, make sure you shop for them later in the afternoon. Your feet get bigger as the day wears on and will definitely do so when you exercise.
And don’t forget to wear the same type of socks you plan to wear them with in order to make sure that they feel right on your foot.
You should be able to move your toes around freely in your shoes and the sole should move around freely when you bend your foot.
Buying shoes that fit
Although you probably grew up believing that you had to break a pair of shoes in before they began to feel comfortable, that’s actually not true at all. Shoes - all shoes - should fit snug and comfortably from the moment you put them on.
If they don’t, they’re probably not good shoes. And if you don’t stop wearing them, you’ll probably end up with a couple of muscle and joint problems down the line. And back pain is nothing to sneeze at.
No definitive study has been conducted to prove that back pain results from bad shoes, but if you’ve been wearing high heels as long as I have, you wouldn’t need a study to tell you that back pain does occur as a result.
And back pain is not limited to wearing high heels on a daily basis; wearing bad shoes, whether they’re heels, flats or even running shoes, can cause severe back pain and problems that may result in something even worse.
The soles of the feet have pressure points that affect every part of the body, so if you spend over 10 hours a day wearing shoes that aren’t conducive to good posture and comfort, you can bet that problems throughout your entire body will result, especially back pain.

Ne-Yo Interesting Facts
Ne-Yo’s single “So Sick” is a true story (song) about him and his ex-girlfriend.
Ne-Yo’s adopted name is a reference to Neo, the main character in The Matrix.
Ne-Yo Biography
Born on October 18, 1982, in Camden, Arkansas, Shaffer Chimere Smith was raised by his mother, who decided to move to Las Vegas with Shaffer because she felt that there would be more job opportunities there. And she was right.
Ne-Yo works with Jamie Foxx
Shaffer discovered his passion for singing early on in his life, writing his first song about mustard when he was only 5 years old. And growing up listening to the likes of Diane Warren, Prince, Marvin Gaye, The Rat Pack, and Stevie Wonder, there was no doubt that he wanted to sing to the world.
By the time he was barely in his teens, Ne-Yo began co-writing songs with already famous singers Mary J. Blige, Marques Houston, Nivea, Tyrese Gibson, Jamie Foxx, Faith Evans, and Christina Milian.
But it was the song he wrote for Mario, entitled “Let Me Love You,” that got so much airplay and made Ne-Yo feel as though he had finally arrived as a songwriter.
Content to stay in the background, making other singers look good, it wasn’t until a chance meeting with L.A. Reid of Def Jam Records that Ne-Yo finally got his opportunity to make a name for himself.
Ne-Yo releases Stay
Ne-Yo’s first release, “Stay” (featuring Peedi Crack) did well on the hip-hop charts, but failed to make any ground on Billboard’s Hot 100. The video, which featured beautiful choreographer Taneisha Scott, however, did get some serious airplay on music television.
It was his second single release, however, that thrust Ne-Yo into the Billboard stratosphere and turned him into a household name.
Ne-Yo becomes So Sick
“So Sick,” a song that Ne-Yo put together when he was all of 18, became a North American hit, topping both of Billboard’s Hot 100 and Pop 100 charts.
When the album, In My Own Words, was finally released during the last week of February in 2006, it went straight to No. 1, selling 301,000 copies.
Ne-Yo worked on a single for the soundtrack of the 2007 movie Steppin’ Up: Save The Last Dance 2, in which he also made an appearance alongside Izabella Miko and Columbus Short.
Ne-Yo tours with Chris Brown
Ne-Yo has his own record company called Compound Entertainment, after finishing up his Up Close & Personal Tour with Chris Brown, Ne-Yo started his own clothing label.
In 2007, Ne-Yo released Because of You, which was certified platinum, and was nominated for 5 Grammy Awards at the 2008 American Music Awards.
