Diva.

It’s a word oft used to praise the mic-shattering chanteuses of yesteryear, but when used to describe starlet Ariana Grande, the word ‘diva’ comes baring more negative connotations than her young career can afford to carry.

For this week, after being accused of mistreating her fans, the Italian-American entertainer has seen her reputation besmirched by E’s Giuliana Rancic, who had an interesting story to about on the ‘Problem’ performer recently.

He may presently be topping headlines for calling a Canadian reporter a ‘piece of sh*t’ on live TV (click here if you missed that), but former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is also reportedly hard at work with putting the final touches on his forthcoming biopic…starring Jamie Foxx.

According to Tyson, he and Foxx are in discussions to begin production on the film that would see the ‘Unpredictable’ singer portray him at different stages of his life using CGI technology.

“Me and Jamie Foxx are in discussion, and we gonna do it,” said Tyson, 48. “Within a year to 18 months, we’re going to do the Mike Tyson story and he’s going to portray me, and now they have this new animation; because you know Jamie’s pretty much my age so he can’t portray me but they have this new system.”

Not even an all-star line up with the two of the most talked about booties in the industry – that of Jennifer Lopez‘s and Nicki Minaj‘s – were enough to resurrect the ratings of Fashion Rocks.

Taking a 6 year hiatus from television, the showing that aims to marry the hottest music with the hottest trends in fashion – fell flat with reports of less than half the ratings attributed to its 2008 showing.

Could it signal an end for the show?

Even news of Royal Baby #2 proved itself no match for the headline dominator of the week – the woes of Ray Rice.

As readers know, the former Baltimore Ravens’ star has been the talk of the week as footage surfaced of him violently attacking his then-fiancee, Janay, in an Atlantic City elevator.  And, while Mrs. Rice made headlines herself for slamming the media for “embarrassing her” with its extensive coverage of the story, news flooded elsewhere that the running back will no longer see his face gracing NIke or EA Sports (video game) campaigns.

Abruptly removed from the sports giants’ rosters following reports of the attack, all hope may not be lost for Rice.  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell believes that with good behavior, we may soon see Ray on the football field again.
