Just two months separate Mariah Carey fans from the diva’s fourteenth studio album.

Due May 6th, the set has been preceded by a myriad of material, but no hits.

Hoping to reverse her fortunes, Mimi has jetted off to an undisclosed location to wrap recording.

As ever, the diva is chronicling the trip on Instagram, posting the shots above and below with captions such as: “First listen after being pon de makeshift studio all night” and “Splash! Morning listening session”.

What more body baring shots have to do with new music continues to puzzle us. However, at this point, it’s clear the 43-year-old is set in her ways. We just hope she’s managed to cook up a smash, as -believe it or not- we still remain excited for her new album.

In the interim, peep more pics after the jump…

Zero.

The above, believe it or not, is the amount ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Porsha Williams received in her divorce settlement with ex-husband Kordell Stewart last year…undoubtedly to her dismay.

Finalised in December, details from the divorce emerged this week and reveal that the aspiring singer will not receive alimony, any of Stewart’s ‘NFL’ retirement money, no health insurance, no cash and is now responsible for clearing off debts she allegedly owes to credit card companies.

News of her unsuccessful bid to be compensated for her work in the marriage comes a week before the release of her debut single, ‘Flatline’, due March 17th!

For better or worse, Beyonce has the world talking. In most instances, it’s admiration and appreciation. Yet, for FOX News‘ Bill O’Reilly, the singer’s provocative new direction has struck a chord. The wrong one.

While interviewing Hip-Hop pioneer Russell Simmons, who was a guest on The O’Reilly Factor to promote his new book ‘Success Through Stillness’, O’Reilly launched a scathing attack on King B and the video for her latest single ‘Partition’.

In ambushing Simmons and demanding his take on the clip, the anchor went as far as to deem the visual “exploitive garbage”.

Though it’d be unfair to judge the release using its snippet alone, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t puzzled by Rita Ora‘s ‘I Will Never Let You Down‘…generic to say the least.

Giving some fans no choice but to wonder if more effort’s been employed to push Rita’s stock as a brand than her standing as a musician, we can’t but wonder who’s been tasked with sourcing the star’s material, and why they seem hard pressed to find cuts worthy of her potential.

However, if the response she garnered while making her way into Los Angeles’ ‘LAX’ hours is anything to go by, Ora will have no trouble winning over US audiences later on this year, sending the paparazzi into a frenzy as she stepped out with sister Elena.
