NEW YORK — The magic is back. R. Kelly still has it. Friday night at Wamu Theater at Madison Square Garden, the once legal-trouble-ridden singer showed why he's one of music's all-time greats, keeping the audience on its feet for almost all 90 minutes of his performance.
The Ladies Make Some Noise Tour gives R. a chance to dig through one of the deepest catalogs of classics of any current viable act. Surprisingly, almost halfway through the show, he spoke about his legal battle and victory.
"This is the first tour since my court case," said Kells, who was found not guilty on 14 counts of child pornography last year. "I'm still here. I'm still here!" he said with palpable sincerity, garnering applause. Then he started singing, "Thank you, Jesus."
"When I was walking outta court, I was singing to myself, 'Heaven, I need a hug/ Is there anybody out there ready to embrace a thug?' " he added.
Friday night's R. Kelly concert once again showed that the singer has mastered every area of live performance. Some women were literally climbing over barricades to dance in the aisle as Kelly closed with two of his signature records, "Step in the Name of Love" and "Happy People."
But Kelly could have closed with any of the many timeless hits that he's put out during the past 15 years. Much like Jay-Z or Mary J. Blige, Kells performs to audiences that obviously have their own personal relationships with the records and the music forever stamped in their hearts.
The concert started off with a red carpet being rolled out and female audience members standing onstage behind a velvet rope, making the scene look like the entrance to a hot club or a major industry party.
Kelly came out in sunglasses, jeans, a black T-shirt and a sport coat. He went from his "Flashing Lights" freestyle to a frenzy-causing medley of celebrated tunes: "That's That Sh--" went into "Wonderful," which went into "We Thuggin'," which went into "Thoia Thoing," which went into "I'mma Flirt."
It seemed like he could toss out records forever. Then he stopped and spoke — or rather sang a melody to a stagehand.
"Can you move that carpet, please?/ 'Cause I almost tripped three goddamn times." He repeated this impromptu, sing-songy request a few times before talking to the crowd: "Y'all know I make a song outta everything. Y'all laughing, but that sh-- be on the radio."
Kelly then paraded out even more classics, including "It Seems Like You're Ready" and "Bump N' Grind," before adding some new lyrics to the show. He made up a song about women with no junk in the trunk.
"Little-bootie girls, would you stand and turn around/ Slap it and ask the big-bootie girls, 'How you like me now?' "
This transitioned into "Feelin' on Yo Booty."
Kelly's covers added another dimension to the show. He impersonated Ron Isley when singing the song he wrote and produced for the legend, "Contagious." The crowd took over the duty of singing Kelly's part on Mr. Biggs' record.
During a break, Kelly saluted Michael Jackson. He played a videotaped message of himself in his studio surrounded by plaques he received from working with the King of Pop. He then showed footage of MJ dancing in a car to "Ignition (Remix)" while director Brett Ratner drove.
Kelly's last tribute of the night was one he said his mother would definitely enjoy if she were still living. That was to Sam Cooke. Dressed in a tuxedo and red bow tie, the R. returned to the stage for rousing renditions of "Bring It on Home to Me" and "A Change Is Gonna Come."

Madonna is spending so much time getting into the groove that she's driving her neighbor crazy.
The Material Girl has turned her Central Park West apartment into a makeshift dance studio, and her stomping should get her evicted, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed yesterday.
"Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train . . . to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings and radiators," claims the suit, filed by Karen George, who lives above the singer's seventh-floor pad.
"Ms. George has been forced to endure blaring music, stomping and shaking walls for approximately one and a half to three hours each day," the suit against the building board says.
The board says Madonna has already been threatened with eviction if the dance sessions don't stop.
Attempts to contact Madonna's spokeswoman were unsuccessful last night.

Entrepreneur P.Miller recently joined HUD secretary Shaun Donovan to break ground on the newly rebuilt B.W. Cooper Housing Projects in New Orleans.
The refurnished mixed-income development represents a goal Miller had to bring development money into his community. Initially, Miller’s goal was inspired by observing mogul Donald Trump and then working with business banking and financial management specialist Keith Mays.
As always, Miller hopes his work will be an example to his old colleagues in the music industry and those throughout his native New Orleans community.
"I want to be able to show these guys look at me. I changed my image, I changed my life and I had to grow up,” Miller explained. “I’m honored to be a part of the ground breaking alongside President Obama’s right hand man Secretary Shaun Donovan who shares the same goal as me, which is to help B.W. Cooper residents get back into their new homes.”
4 years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, many areas in New Orleans remain ravaged and deserted. Secretary Donovan detailed that 30,000 families were still awaiting disaster help, as “duplication of benefits” rules left many homeowners without the necessary funds needed to finish home repairs.
"We worked closely with the state and the city to get services to them so we could help them with whatever challenges were keeping them from getting into a permanent home,” Donavan stated. “And as you heard today we made a number of changes to speed assistance to help rebuild homes.”
Formerly the B.W. Cooper Projects, the community has been renamed Marrero Commons after activist Yvonne Marrero, who passed away following Hurricane Katrina.
At press time, the development is scheduled to open to residents by the end of 2010.
P.Miller’s next community project will be Onemilliongifts.org, an ambitious directive to give one millions gifts to children in New Orleans by Christmas 2009.

I actually feel sorry for this kid, Falcon Heene. With all the media attention surrounding him and his family "Bubble Boy" falls sick during a live interview on NBC's Today Show. Any reasonable person would assume the events of yesterday were a hoax. I think it's a shame for the father to put his kids through this kind of scrutiny.

RadarOnline Reports
Jimmy Kimmel’s dating scandal is growing.
The late-night host started romancing his new girlfriend, who is one of his employees, after getting rid of her boyfriend, who also worked on Jimmy Kimmel Live, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
And before he ditched Molly McNearney’s boyfriend, Jimmy and then-girlfriend Sara Silverman used to double date with the couple, a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
While David Letterman’s own dating-an-employee scandal has resulted in an extortion charge against one man, Kimmel has a potentially explosive situation on his hands that has alienated members of his staff and calls into question the fairness to other employees of the boss dating a staffer.
News recently “leaked” from Kimmel’s show that he’s dating Molly McNearney. RadarOnline.com then broke the news that several staffers were extremely upset, worried about favoritism and one even blamed being fired on the situation.
Molly McNearney
Now we’ve learned that McNearney, formerly an assistant writer on the show, was dating a man who was also an assistant writer in a relationship that started a few years ago. The two were very serious about each other.
But, according to a source close to the situation, Jimmy had been attracted to Molly for quite some time, and moved her boyfriend off his show, in a maneuver that made it easier for him to connect with Molly.
Jimmy got the boyfriend a job writing for another show, but his actions stunned the man.
The source told RadarOnline.com: “The guy was totally shocked because he had become good friends with Jimmy and had frequented Kimmel’s NFL Sunday parties for his staff and friends at his Los Angeles home.
“Jimmy acted like a total snake no matter what way he tries to spin it – just like Letterman he abused his power by promoting Molly and everyone knows it.”
According to sources, the couple decided to call it quits this past summer allowing Kimmel to seriously pursue the woman he had been constantly courting.

Meghan McCain didn't anticipate the backlash when she posted this photo to Twitter.
NY Daily News Reports
Republican firebrand Meghan McCain’s skimpy pajamas have her conservative followers all atwitter, forcing the daughter of failed 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain to apologize for posting a racy photo of her décolletage.
The trouble started around 8 p.m. Wednesday when The Daily Beast columnist uploaded a photo of herself in a low-cut tank-top reading a biography of Andy Warhol.
"[My] 'spontaneous' night in is my Andy Warhol biography and takeout. ... I'm getting old," she writes.
Her relaxing evening turned into a wild night when some of her over 60,000 followers started to taunt the political scion.
Initially, McCain tried to straight-talk her way out:
"So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit, I am a slut," she Twittered.
Then she threatened to abandon her Twitter account altogether. "[Why] I have been considering deleting my twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment."
Finally, she chose to just apologize.
"I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic," McCain wrote Wednesday about the photo that has been viewed 103,911 and counting. "I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended."
But some of her followers are not buying it.
"You knew you were posting a nearly NSFW [not safe for work] photo, so don't pretend like you're surprised at people's reaction," commented melissajenna.
McCain sees it differently.
"[When] I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweatpants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut’, I can't even tell you how hurt I am."Read more…

A Brooklyn hearing officer yesterday ordered rapper Busta Rhymes to fork over $75,000 to an Albany man who was doused with water, pummeled with bottles and sucker-punched by the hip-hop star and a bodyguard.
The injured man, Alex Duncan, testified that he suffered nightmares and psychological after-effects of the Sept. 13, 2003, attack during a break in a rap concert at SUNY Albany.
"It's all right," Duncan, 32, a recently laid-off school groundskeeper, said of the award. "I wanted something to come out of it. I don't even go to parties anymore, because there's always someone asking, 'What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?' "
Duncan's lawyer, Ronald Hart, had requested $500,000 of the hearing officer, Luigi Marano.
Rhymes' lawyer, Robert Kalina, was a no-show for both the trial and yesterday's damages hearing. He did not return a call seeking comment.

Most artists would jump at the chance to work with Madonna, but not Eminem. The rapper passed on a potential collaboration with the Material Girl.
“I wanted to work with Eminem. I don’t think he wanted to work with me,” she told Rolling Stone in the magazine’s current issue. “Maybe he’s shy.”
When asked who she listens to today, she cited her collaborators Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. “I really, genuinely like the music of Timbaland and Justin,” adding that her son Rocco “likes anything that I did with Timbaland.”
The Queen of Pop also praised Timberlake’s songwriting skills. “Justin is a brilliant songwriter. I mean, ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around’? Brilliant.”Read more…
