drake-chris-brown-espy

Drizzy and Breezy may have caused a stir when photos of them working in the studio hit the net days ago, but that stir turned into commotion tonight when Grammy-winning Urban stars Drake and Chris Brown put beef in their rearview and co-starred in a skit featured at the 2014 ESPYs.

Setting Twitter alight, the hilarious skit sees the two go from busting bottles to busting stitches (with laughter) from their tongue-in-cheek take on their squashed beef and “celebrity woes”.

love-and-hip-hop-atlanta

With its wild theatrics and dynamite drama,‘Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta’ is used to making headlines on a weekly basis.

However, its reunion taping yesterday has sent the media into a frenzy – thanks largely to a brawl between the show’s boisterous cast-mates.

And while debate rages on about just who was on the receiving end of the series of jabs that saw weaves torn and cops called (Joseline? Tammy? Mimi?), our friends over at Hello Beautiful have obtained a video of the fights. Yes, plural.

Clearly, more than one scuffle took place. Peep the ratchetness below…

deborah-cox-whitney-biopic

Lifetime‘s biopic on the late, great Whitney Houston hasn’t even hit screens yet and is already causing quite the scene.

Indeed, debate has greeted almost every morsel of news revealed about the movie; from it being a cable production instead of a big screen offering, to its lead stars, public response has been potently polarized.

The latest facet of the Angela Bassett directed telepic to come into question is the licensing of Houston’s music.

According to E!, with legalities surrounding the use of Whitney’s iconic song catalogue still being hashed out, original versions of the tracks will not feature. Instead, Yaya DaCosta – who has been cast as Houston – will “lip-synch” to re-recorded takes on the songs performed by none other than Deborah Cox.

“Tell me what you see when you look at me.”

The above may have been demanded by her husband’s former flame Christina Milian, but it’s a statement Mariah Carey needn’t ask today, as the world already the knows the answer to it.

You ready for it?

FICTION!

Yes, in giving ‘Murder She Wrote‘s Jessica Fletcher a Usain Bolt-sized run for her money, Mimi continues to serve up fiction in abundance with her recent shoot for ‘Wonderland‘ magazine.

Unfortunately, said fiction hasn’t gone do too well with the folks over at ‘Jezebel’, who have slammed the singer for her shocking use of ‘Photo Shop‘ in the snaps.

What they had to say on the matter?

DIGIPIX

Seemingly over her days of being a mere socialite in ‘Black Hollywood’, Teyana Taylor continues on in her efforts to launch a career in music today, trying her hand at Nicki Minaj‘s new single ‘Pills N Potions.’

Uploading a portion of the song on her ‘Instagram’ page, Taylor’s take on ‘Potions’ comes days after her pal Karrueche Tran bared all on her “battle” with Pop singer Rihanna, whom Teyana is also feuding with.

However, with a voice like hers, we’d say petty squabbles should be the least of T’s problems this year, now standing just one hit away from turning into the R&B force she’s destined to become.

Teyana’s talent below!
