The unseasonably warm temperatures have also inspired me to shop for new Spring/Summer fashion trends.  
Guess what I found? Deliciously girly floral prints.  
Here are my flower power fashion picks from the hip and affordable ModCloth.com:
 
Chloris is the Greek nymph of spring and flowers; the perfect name for this darling tunic.
 
I&#8217;m jonesing for this high-waisted pencil skirt with pockets by indie designer Rojas.

1) Janet Jackson cancels many of her &#8220;Rock Wit U&#8221; tour dates amidst rumors that she&#8217;s pregnant.  There&#8217;s also speculation that poor tickets sales prompted the cancellations.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like to keep things lighthearted here at <strong>Hot Mama Daily</strong> and all of the women who made this list should know they&#8217;re still loved.  Everyone has a hot mess moment or two &#8212; theirs just happened while most of us were watching:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/sipaphotostwo197936-ny-janet-jackso1.jpg"><img src="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/sipaphotostwo197936-ny-janet-jackso1.jpg" alt="" title="sipaphotostwo197936-ny-janet-jackso1" width="450" height="587" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2044" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p>1) <strong>Janet Jackson</strong> cancels many of her &#8220;Rock Wit U&#8221; tour dates amidst rumors that she&#8217;s pregnant.  There&#8217;s also speculation that poor tickets sales prompted the cancellations.  Personally, I think she finally got a good glimpse of her not-ready-for-tour-time physique in that weird body suit and decided the show must not go on.  The silly faux hawk didn&#8217;t help.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Danity Kane</strong> breaks up.  Well, sort of.  I&#8217;m a huge fan of &#8220;Making the Band,&#8221; and the girl group&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;Damaged&#8221;</strong> was the jam of the year.</p>
<p>So now that Diddy has kicked Aubrey and D. Woods to the curb, what will become of the pop/R&amp;B stars?  Rumor has it that Dawn will go solo and Diddy&#8217;s pretty but talent-less girlfriend Cassie will become DK&#8217;s &#8220;lead singer.&#8221; Watch this You Tube clip from a brokenhearted fan that sums up the whole hot mess.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TT6AIUsKwoE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TT6AIUsKwoE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>3) <strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong> claims an ankle injury forced her to abruptly cancel her coveted guest judge spot on the Season Finale of &#8220;Project Runway.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/f85d20b6jlo01app.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2017" title="Malibu Triathlon" src="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/f85d20b6jlo01app-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="300" /></a>That&#8217;s funny, all La Lopez had to do was sit in a chair and critique fashion.  Just two days later, however, her foot miraculously healed and she completed a triathalon in Los Angeles.  J. Lo is a real Hot Mama, but sometimes she&#8217;s such a diva.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Tyra Banks </strong>is the most likeable ego-maniac on TV.  She has dual, self-promoting platforms with &#8220;Top Model&#8221; and the &#8220;Tyra Banks Show.&#8221;  This clip from the latter where she&#8217;s taking a bubble bath and speaking in a strange baby voice about how she loves supermodel Beverly Johnson so much she has a framed picture of herself and Johnson above her bath tub &#8212; while not as full-on crazy as her &#8220;Kiss my fat a**&#8221; moment &#8212; clearly warrants her inclusion on this list.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cOn2L9hPQ0c&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cOn2L9hPQ0c&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>5) <em>Drum roll please</em>&#8230;And the <strong>Hot Mama Hot Mess Award of the Year</strong> goes to Sherri Shepherd from &#8220;The View.&#8221;  Among Sherri&#8217;s many head-scratching moments (she admitted she&#8217;d had more abortions than she could count) was when she thought the <em>11 Pipers Piping</em> in &#8220;The 12 Days of Christmas&#8221; were plumbers. Oh, Sherri. <a href="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/nm_shepherd_070910_ssv1.jpg"><img src="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2008/12/nm_shepherd_070910_ssv1.jpg" alt="" title="nm_shepherd_070910_ssv1" width="250" height="317" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2043" /></a></p>
