Bey and Jay Z's joint album is reportedly complete and slated to drop as a TIDAL exclusive “very soon.” It may address infidelity rumors. Bey's album was clearly a publicity stunt to attract sales. If she didn't want people gossiping about the state of her marriage, she should not have recorded a Jay Z bashing album. Then there wouldn't be anything to address at all.
RedOne reveals he's produced eight songs for Lady Gaga's fifth studio album so far. He's produced some of her biggest hits including 'Poker Face', 'Bad Romance' and more! We've known for a while that they reunited, but the extent of his involvement was unknown. Gaga and RedOne are such a dynamic and successful duo. She clearly doesn't want to flop again.
MC has signed a two-year movie deal with Hallmark Channel. She will executive produce, direct and star in three original movies for the network, and write an original song for each. The first installment is set to premiere during Hallmark’s 2017 Valentine’s Day programming. MC's career is venturing more into TV, but at least she is still bringing the musical element.
Adele’s new video is serving dreamy apparition realness. They tried to be artistic, but I was bored. Who cares when she's being offered the biggest recording contract in history?! Sony Music Entertainment are trying to secure a new deal said to be £90 million ($130 million) following the blockbuster sales of her latest album '25.' Cha-ching!
Madonna (with assistance from Stevie Wonder) led an emotional tribute to Prince at BBMAs despite a campaign calling for her removal. There has been a lot of mixed reaction towards her tribute and some have even criticized it passionately. I won't do that though. What I will say is that it was a sombre tribute to an amazing artist who will never be forgotten.
Fergie drops teasers for two brand new songs called 'Hungry' and 'Just Like Me.' The latter song was debuted during her Rock in Rio performance in Portugal on Friday. She reportedly shot a music video with a bunch of celeb cameos recently. Her comeback attempt with 'L.A. Love (La La)' stalled in 2014, so here's hoping this is the real deal.
Tina Knowles holds no ill will towards the ex-husband who cheated on her during their marriage (1, 2). This being a fornication which led to Mr Knowles fathering two more kids outside his marriage and the reason why his relationship with his daughters became so strained. Bey fired him as her manager years ago. Good to see they're on better terms now.
A make-up free Alicia Keys celebrates individuality in the brand new visuals for latest single 'In Common.' It's all very Kumbaya, very Alicia, but still delivers a very effective, important message. "The magic of our individuality is that at the core, we are all the same" she says. Look out for her sixth studio album when it hits later this summer.
Ariana Grande dropped her new album 'Dangerous Woman' yesterday, and hit up the promo circuit. She performed all new songs off the project including, ‘Be Alright,’ ‘Greedy,’ and the album title track on GMA. She also performed it on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Question. Why does she look like a little girl trying to play sexy? Enough with the Lolita crap already!
Ciara and Ludacris are hosting tomorrow night's Billboard Music Awards (May 22nd), and promoted their upcoming gig during a visit to 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Wow. Ciara looks insanely gorgeous. No wonder Future is bitter. He messed up big time and knows it. Britney Spears, Rihanna and Ariana Grande are all expected to perform on the big night.
Seems Ameriie has given up on releasing full length albums, and has resorted to dropping EP's once every blue moon. No complaints here. It's better to get something, than nothing at all. She released her new six-track EP 'Drive' on Friday. During her 'Breakfast Club' interview, she confirmed that another project could be coming in July. Sigh.
Whitney Houston’s estate pulled the plug on a hologram duet with Christina Aguilera for ‘The Voice’ finale. Christina says she was honored the Houston family asked her to do it. However, technology could not meet up to the high standard required for Whitney's talent. The leaked pre-recorded performance showed them singing 'I’m Every Woman.' Watch it below.
Christina Milian serves up wet boobs and booty for FHM Indonesia. Christina's music career has been a long struggle and she's resorted to competing with The Kardashians for trashy family reality show. This leaving a window of opportunity to flaunt her amazing body for you men of the world. The issue is currently available on newsstands everywhere, now.
Beyoncé has made $20,668,255 from four shows, and it took 162,087 tickets at 100% attendance. The demand has been so insane, it has prompted her to add another date this week. That's in addition to more extended dates previously. At present, Bey's 'Formation' tour has grossed over $100 million from all of its sold-out dates. Such undeniable slayage!
Ariana Grande doesn't release her new album 'Dangerous Woman' until Friday. Yet, HDD has her first week sales projections at 150K (190K SPS). Seems a bit high for a sales prediction. If you recall, 'My Everything' only debuted with around 165K, and it was at the back of huge singles like 'Problem' and 'Break Free.' I guess we shall see.
Andy Cohen asks Mariah Carey about her consistent claims of “not knowing” Jennifer Lopez during a visit to Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live.' Mimi rolls her eyes and pretty much infers that knowing someone personally and knowing who someone is are two different things. Sounds like neither of them will be doing lunch anytime soon!
Christina Aguilera sings three seconds of lyrics by Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Katy Perry, Adele and more during a game of ‘Heads Up!’ on 'Ellen.' She just said, "Born This Way!" for Lady Gaga. Really?! Didn't they actually do a collaboration? Overall, I'm actually loving this current look. She looks great! Reportedly, she will update us on the upcoming new album.
Lambs are finally getting a first look at 'Mariah’s World', E!’s docuseries centered on Mariah Carey. The eight-episode hour long event series follows Mimi on her 'Sweet Sweet Fantasy' tour, and preparations for her upcoming wedding to James Packer. This show looks lit, and I'm so here for all of her divaisms! 
In its fourth week, Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' will be battling Drake's 'Views' in his third week on the Billboard 200 for #1 in sales. Both are expected to do around 85K. Meghan Trainor’s sophomore release, 'Thank You' is set to flop really badly with projections of 73-78K. It overtook both Bey and Drake on iTunes for the #1 spot, but clearly had no impact.
JT blasts onto the Billboard Hot 100 at #1 with his new 'Trolls' single, 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' In doing so, he dethrones Drake's 'One Dance' (featuring WizKid and Kyla), scoring his fifth solo number one and his best sales week for any of his songs. No point asking, "why is this song #1?" when the answer is there in black and white. He's Justin effing Timberlake!
Rihanna's latest single 'Needed Me' charts at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 29th top 10 single! She now ties with Michael Jackson as the act with the third highest amount of top 10's in the history of the Hot 100! Who said Rihanna couldn't chart without a feature?! Yet, 'Needed Me' is moving up the ranks with a blocked video and zero promo. Woooork!
The New York Post reports that ticket sales for Gwen Stefani's upcoming tour are "horrifying," despite scoring a #1 album in March. Gwen's 'This Is What The Truth Feels Like' tour kicks off in Boston on July 12th. Her album would not have given me enough incentive to buy a ticket, but hopefully, her set at last night's Wango Tango actually won some people over.
Did Leona Lewis really just cut the interviewer off and walk away? She probably didn't want to give too much away about her next studio album, the follow-up to last year's 'I Am,' which under performed horribly. Although she's in the studio, the project is only in the "very early stages." Recent writing sessions have involved Autumn Rowe and Swedish DJ Alesso.
