Sisters Are Workin' Out For Themselves

The ladies of R&B reign supreme this month--with Whitney, Cassie, and Estelle each clocking hits. In fact, the proceedings on the whole were dominated by women. If you include the Imogen Heap sample on "Whatcha Say," all but a couple of the this month's gym jams feature a female vocalist. And, of those two, one is about a lady (who is a genius) and the other I thought was sung by a woman until I started writing this.

Lauren is the articles editor at Marie Claire. She loves to obsess over politics, play soccer, and watch movies, not necessarily in that order. She can't imagine any human interaction that wouldn't be improved with a line from The Simpsons or Rushmore. She saved Latin - what did you ever do?

Jessica

As Associate editor of the Radar section, I obsess daily over movies, television, celebrities and music. A southern girl at heart and Brooklyn by address, my skill set also extends into witty asides, vintage shopping, planning themed parties, brunching, entertaining, applying eyeliner, dancing, concocting bourbon mint iced tea, gift giving, movie quoting, coffee drinking and Elvis spotting. I love conversations that begin with "remember the time...", am still paying off my student loans (and then some), and have fallen madly in love - with my DVR.
