Motel Rocks USA have set up camp in the Belve Music Lounge at Coachella 2012, spreading the Motel word whilst soaking up the amazing sun-kissed atmosphere!

Team Motel relayed us the week 1 highlights: meeting 90210 star Shanae Grimes, Rihanna rocking British highstreet labels and incredibly, Tupac’s hologram performing with Snoop Dogg.

Rest In Peace Whitney Houston. The world is mourning the loss of an amazing voice. Whitney Houston in her prime was unstoppable! She was beautiful, graceful, stylish and had one of the best voices in music history.
During the 80s, Whitney was known for her body con dresses, big hair and crop tees with jeans, all which propelled her into becoming an international superstar,
Ms. Houston, you will be missed.
“It’s not even her birthday.” But it is. Rihanna celebrated her 24th birthday yesterday in a big way by releasing her new single, “Birthday Cake” with former boyfriend Chris Brown on the track. Is she stirring the pot by adding the bad boy Chris Brown on her single? Regardless of the critics who disagree with her decision to add Chris Brown, they can agree that Rihanna is always decked out in the latest threads.
If Rihanna was a Motel girl, I’m sure she would wear a bodycon dress with tons of colour.
And whilst this is going on in Hollywood, Couture Week started in New York on the 17th February,

Nicki Minaj has the Internet buzzing. With her new video, ‘Stupid Hoe’ breaking VEVO record for online views, plus joining Madonna at the Superbowl halftime show, she is proving that she is the new Hip-Hop princess.
