Mary-J-Blige1

Mary J. Blige is heading to the Grammys!

After the world learned that this year’s ceremony was to deliver performances put on by the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West, Sam Smith and Lady GaGa, today has brought with it confirmation that Mary J. Blige is rock the event too.

Announced today, Blige’s performance will see her fly the flag for R&B music alongside her ‘Stay With Me’ collaborator Sam Smith, doing so when the show airs live on February 8th 2015.

Performing might not be the only thing Ms. Blige does on the night. For, the star is nominated in the Best Dance Category, recognised for her contribution to Disclosure‘s ‘F For You.’

ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ has become a TV phenomenon since blazing on to the box last Fall.

Beyond its captivating story-lines and the performances of its ensemble cast, it’s received ample praise for its edgier lean. Something largely attributable to Jack Falahee‘s character, Connor Walsh.

Subverting the expected portrayal of gay characters, Walsh’s racy antics has been the subject of ample debate – as has the network’s decision to air such scenes.

Unsurprisingly, the interest surrounding the Connor character has led to speculation about the orientation of Falahee himself.

Prior to now, the rising star has maintained an air of silence on the matter. However, he shattered it today with a piercing set of quotes in the latest issue of OUT Magazine – which he also covers.

The net was set ablaze last night when news of Beyonce‘s alleged performance at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards was reported by Billboard.

Consistently coy these days, the singer has remained silent but has incited excitement with her presence in LA – the host city of the show.

There for the last three weeks, it’s increasingly seeming as though there has been a reason.

Madonna-Rebel-Heart-ThatGrapeJuice

Madonna has been deemed many things, but nothing rings truer these days than “trooper”.

The diva’s new album, ‘Rebel Heart’, has been plagued by a series of leaks since last Winter and, despite efforts to spin it in her favour, the singer was today rocked when the finished LP hit the net in its entirety — a month before its March 10th release date.

Billed as a “Super Deluxe” version, the 25-track set features mixed and mastered version of the previously leaked material, but this time includes all the announced features too.

Still, in pressing on, the 56-year-old has not only confirmed her performance at the BRIT Awards (which follows news that she’ll be rocking this Sunday’s Grammy’s too), she has released a sneak peek at the video for new single ‘Living For Love’.

We’re not sure anything will be enough to salvage the catastrophe that has been the campaign, but here’s hoping the video at the very least helps.

Peep the preview below…

Case in point her shocking turn on The Celebrity Apprentice.

Last night, viewers saw the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star fired from the show by Donald Trump after an epic showdown with Vivica Fox.

Clearly still pressed, Moore stopped by the Wendy Williams Show today and dug her claws into the ‘Kill Bill’ actress and her ‘Housewives’ co-star NeNe Leakes.

A forrest of shade is thrown after the jump…
