Now would definitely be the time to get excited.

For, after beginning its season 3 with a series-ratings high ending on an equally high notes, fans have longed for their next dose of Olivia Pope and associates (and all of the drama that comes with them).

Wondering when you’ll be able to see Kerry Washington and crew in action again?  Wonder no more as ‘Scandal‘s fall return has been unveiled:

Nicki Minaj works new magic on an old number this time around, adding a little spice to Cam’ron‘s ‘So Bad’ with a generous dose of ‘Onika’ salt’n’pepper!

Originally released in 2012, the song-sans Minaj– dropped with a hook performed by Yummy Bingham, and now features a ‘Barbie‘-inspired verse from the rapper, coming two years after she and Cam collaborated on Rap number, ‘I Am Your Leader.’

We’ve loved Tamar Braxton’s ‘Love & War,’ partied with Trina Braxton, and, of course, celebrated decades of hits with eldest sister Toni Braxton.  Now, ‘Braxton Family Values’  fans will have to make room in their collections for the work of another from the Braxton clan – Traci.

Viewers of the show have long followed Traci’s story line of breaking from the shadows of stage fright and lack of confidence to stepping into the spotlight on her own.  As her new single (released today) evidences, those shadows exist no more.

‘Last Call’ beams as a bold slow jam that pleas with love to shape up or ship out.  Will listeners feel the same way about Tray’s foray into R&B?

Check out Chris Brown.

The ‘Loyal’ singer is wasting no time soaking up the spotlight since his release from prison last month. Indeed, as well as returning to the stage, the star has been active off it…namely on social media.

This morning saw the 25-year-old debut an interesting new look on Instagram; one which sees his hair sporting texturized waves.

His caption with the snap read:

“Taking it back to the 30s! Lol!”

What’s your take on C.Breezy’s new ‘do?

Your thoughts?

On ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta’, Joseline Hernazdez rose to notoriety due her razor sharp tongue. Indeed, she’s become renown for throwing a forest of shade and being unapologetic in the process.

However, when it comes to her “music”, it appears folk aren’t as receptive. Case in point, her recent club performance in Dallas, Texas.

The self-professed “baddest chick” was almost booed out of the building when trying to perform one of her elusive singles. Superman Stebbie Stevie J came to the rescue, but it’s clear the damage to her ego was done.

A mucky mess awaits after the jump…

After bidding farewell to ‘Interscope’ and heading over to ‘Def Jam’, it’s safe to say that Iggy Azalea‘s career has gone from strength to strength, now handled by a team who’ve succeeded in taking her from the bottom of the Pop pile to the height of the ‘Hot 100.’

Now, as they figure out a way to turn her ‘Fancy’ buzz into commendable sales, the label have placed her on ‘My Main’, the forthcoming single from Motown‘s Mila J.

Justin Timberlake continues to prove himself quite the Pop force.

Sixteen months have passed since the singer made a triumphant return to the charts with comeback album ‘The 20/20 Experience’. Fast forward to today, the LP, its ‘Part 2’ extension, and combined set (aptly sub-titled ‘The Complete Experience’) have amassed total global sales of over 6 million units.

The incredible feat (which is rendered even more remarkable given the worldwide dip in music sales) saw Timberlake presented with a plaque backstage at his Hammerstein Ballroom show in New York last week. Peep the celebratory pic, which sees the star surrounded by his label and management, above. {Source}

Congrats are certainly in order for JT and his team. That said, we remain perplexed as to how he’s sold so many units and yet few outside his fanbase could name four songs on the album that weren’t singles.

After all, with fellow mega-sellers such as Adele and Beyonce, the musical and cultural impact of their dominance was incredibly hard to escape. Indeed, wasn’t the world chanting “surfboard” in unison? Didn’t everyone from Times Square to Antarctica know at least one song back to front on ’21’? And yet with JT  there was…‘Mirrors’…and even that was a generic box-ready radio number; one hardly equipped with the ability to sell this many albums.

Hey, who knows. Perhaps, we’re being unjustly harsh because, from our vantage point, the LP’s hype far outpaced its quality. Still, the uneven balance between the album’s success and cultural penetration does make us wonder…wonder…wonder.

Your thoughts?

Man is the least of mi problem.

Unfortunately, the sentiment above isn’t shared by socialite Karrueche Tran, who has revealed that the love triangle between she Chris Brown and Pop singer Rihanna is taking a cruel toll on her life.

Detailing her problem on BET talk show ‘Just KeKe’, her comments will mark the first time she has addressed her long running feud with the performer publicly, coming five years after Brown assaulted the ‘Take a Bow’ beauty in an incident which has marred his career ever since.
