Still radiant and stunning at 40 years old, Tlc singer Chilli has chronicled her search for a soulmate on her VH1 reality show, "What Chilli Wants," and though her famed selectivity may greatly reduce her chance of finding "The One," the beauty defends her pickiness when it comes to choosing a partner.
"There's no such thing as being too picky," Chilli told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday's Access Hollywood Live of her legendary "pickiness." "I know exactly what I want. I know the things I can bring to the table. I've learned my lessons -- you know ...

Tomorrow we here in the Us celebrate Presidents' Day, a holiday that proves that Americans have no idea how to properly celebrate holidays. How do we celebrate the holiday? With car sales and maybe a day off work if you're lucky. I'm sure that if you told George Washington that the way the people of the country he fought to build would honor him with 18 months of 0% Apr and no down payment for a new Ford, he'd... well, he'd look at you funny because none of that would mean anything to him. But I'm certain that if you explained the sentiment to him he'd disapprove. Maybe. I didn't know the guy. I'd like to start a movement now to celebrate Presidents' Day properly, though I'm not entirely sure what that would entail. Suggestions are welcome. Here's your Sunday night TV:

The Grammys are on tonight, which gives us all another chance to realize that when it comes to certain genres of music the Academy of Recording Sciences has no credibility anymore. However, I will grant that Ke$ha managed to have one of the best selling albums of the year (Why?!?) and did not receive any Grammy nominations so there's a slim chance someone is paying attention. Not the programming director, though, who decided to schedule the divine Janelle Monáe to perform on stage with Bruno Mars and B.o.B. (tangentially: that individual's name always makes me think of Outkat's "B.O.B" and then I get excited and then super disappointed in a split second. That kind of emotional whiplash is good for no one.) I'll be watching, though I can't promise I'll be in a good mood about it. Here's your Sunday night TV:

In all the mess last week about my arm and certain food products and TV personalities which will go unnamed, I forgot to mention that I somehow managed to misplace an entire box of contacts and have had to wear my glasses most days while I wait for the replacements to come. So, how do all of you who wear glasses all the time deal with it? The loss of my peripheral vision is freaking me out and giving me some really interesting headaches.

Over the course of his deceptively long career (his first album came out way back in 1994), Usher has made a comfortable home at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The Atlanta-based singer has managed to put a total of nine songs in the number one position, including the 2010 smash "Omg." The man born Usher Raymond IV scored yet another chart-topper on this day in 2001, when "U Got It Bad," the second single from his massive third album 8701 began its reign at number one.
Produced by fellow Atlanta native Jermaine Dupri, "U Got It Bad" is a prototypical Usher slow jam, full of digi-coustic guitars, a slow-burning bass line and sex funk drums. They support Usher's silky-smooth voice, which floats and runs in between the melody and cranks up once the chorus shows up. It's a simple, direct, catchy song that burned its way into the hearts of R&B and pop fans everywhere.

So when MTV News caught up with some music megastars, we wanted to know what they were jamming to this year.
Katy Perry showed her girl some love with her pick, choosing a seriously fun Rihanna track. "I love 'Only Girl (In the World).' Of course I gotta give it up to my girl!" she said. Rihanna returned the favor to Perry, saying, "My favorite song of the year has to be 'Teenage Dream,' Katy Perry."

It takes more than a dollop of self-confidence to hang the chorus of your song on the bordering-on-obnoxious slogan for an '80s shampoo commercial. But when Keri Hilson sings, "Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful," on her latest track, "Pretty Girl Rock," she wants the ladies to sing along.
Co-written by Ne-Yo (who gave fed-up women everywhere Beyoncé's massive kiss-off "Irreplaceable"), the relentlessly upbeat number is no less than an anthem. MTV News visited the "Pretty Girl" video set last month and Keri talked about why every girl should feel like a "10" and paying homage in the new clip to stars of the screen and song.

Ask anybody old enough to be cognizant of pop music what they couldn't get away from in the fall of 1994, and it's likely that the conversation will eventually come around to Tlc. The R&B trio's second album — released on this day in 1994 — was beyond ubiquitous, with singles all over pop and urban radio and the videos in heavy rotation on MTV. But even down-the-line rock fans would have to admit that they sort of didn't mind, as the album delivered cool melodies, rugged beats and just enough winking to keep even the most jaded music fans nodding their heads.
While Tlc (consisting of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes) had had produced a certified smash with their 1992 debut album Ooooooohhh ... On the Tlc Tip (the singles "Baby-Baby-Baby" and "What About Your Friends" had been particularly popular), 1994's CrazySexyCool put them on a whole different level.

R&B hunk Usher cheated on ex-girlfriend Rozonda Thomas aka Chilli after the Tlc star rejected his proposal for marriage. The "Yeah!" singer dated Thomas for two years before they split in December 2003, amid rumors he had been unfaithful.
Thomas confirmed the claims during a radio interview two months later, telling an Atlanta, Georgia DJ, "Usher did the ultimate no-no to me... I will never be with him again, and that is that." Usher has since come clean about the allegations and admitted to cheating, but in a new interview with Vibe magazine, he insists he was driven into another woman's arms after Thomas turned down his offer to become his wife.
He says, "I wasn't happy. And I left the relationship as a result of it. There's no honor, I guess, in cheating. But there is honor in honesty, I guess... If I know I can't be faithful or I'm not happy,...

Maybe so many celebrities chose this weekend to get married because of Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Because you know James Van Der Beek's plans were the last thing on anyone's mind.
But the actor did marry pregnant girlfriend Kimberly Brook on August 1. And all we know of the celebration comes from a solitary Van Der Tweet: "The woman I love did me the honor of became my wife today ... I look forward to earning her for the rest of my life."

Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas has insisted that the best way to incorporate physical activity into her life is to make exercising "fun". The Tlc member claimed that the "real key" to adding exercise to a person’s lifestyle is to focus on an individual goal. Speaking to Global Grind, she said: "I am preparing to go to the Essence festival to judge a step contest. It got me thinking about how you can make exercise fun. Dancing, stepping, even playing with your kids outside can all be forms of exercise. For me making exercise fun is the best way to add physical activity to your lifestyle. I love dancing and that's always been my activity of choice. "I am not a fan of jogging at all, certainly not running in circles on a treadmill, but I can put on some music and dance for hours and not even think about it.

Justin Timberlake's "Justin Timberlake & Friends" concert on Saturday was a culmination of a week's worth of events supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children. It was a busy week for the singer: He planned the concert, hosted a charity golf tournament and met all manner of kids. He said the latter is the most rewarding part, as he gets to hang out with them and "act a fool," as he called it.
So it's no doubt that Justin had a lot on his mind when he met us in the press room to talk about the concert. As he finished his last interview, he realized there was one important thing he forgot to talk about. "Tlc! I forgot to mention Tlc, that's huge!" He jokingly blamed it on us, "the media." Of course, it was a big deal that Tlc were performing their first full-length live concert in six years.

Las Vegas — It's been seven years since Tlc's Left Eye died in a car crash, but the two remaining members, T-Boz and Chilli, insist they aren't ready to quit. They also say they have no plans to replace Left Eye — and that fans will soon hear new music from the duo.
"Well, first I have to say, when people say, 'coming back together,' we've always been together. We're always Tlc. We're not the former members of Tlc," Chilli told MTV News at the second annual Justin Timberlake and Friends concert in Las Vegas. "This is Tlc right here, no new people in the group. It's just T-Boz and Chilli."

Lisa Wagner/Splash News Online As she prepares to embark on what is becoming increasingly-common territory — a reality television dating show — former Tlc member Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas says that her 12-year-old son Tron will be first and foremost in her mind as she settles on a suitor.
“I would never get serious with anyone who had a problem with kids,” the 38-year-old songstress tells Essence. “I don’t like when women are dating and they present every guy they are dating as a boyfriend around the kids.”
Instead, Chilli says that she uses restraint. She adds,
“When you are a great mom, it’s hard to not bring someone you are dating around your kid, but you don’t display affection in front of them. “This is mommy’s friend,” and that’s so your kids aren’t confused and develop bad habits.”
Tron is Chilli’s son with ex-boyfriend Dallas Austin.
