Graduating from Disney to become one of the world’s most prolific Pop stars, Miley Cyrus watched her empire rise to controversial heights last year when she kicked off the campaign for her latest album ‘Bangerz.’

Are her spending habits just as outrageous as her brand new sound?

Well, hello Ariana Grande!

The ‘Baby I’ belter ups her edgy in an eye-catching new photoshoot in support of her hotly anticipated sophomore album (due this Summer).

Now 20, it appears the vocal powerhouse is keen to shed her ultra wholesome image and instead embrace a more risque look. Somewhat.

Explaining the shoot on Twitter, Grande told her 15 million followers:

been doing lots of experimental shoots lately for upcoming music, wanted to share some shots.. sorry for the late 60s timeline invasion haha

No need to apologize; she looks hot tamale. More importantly, though, the visuals have us even more excited for her new material.

Peep more pics after the jump…

Kelly Rowland is wasting no time piecing together of her fifth studio album.

Having recently announced her departure from Universal Republic, the R&B diva has begun work on the project as she mulls over the new label offers.

Billboard recently caught up with the ‘Motivation’ maven, who dished on the creation of the as-yet-untitled LP. What’s more, in news that will no doubt delight the singer’s ever loyal “Rowland Stones”, the 33-year-old revealed that she has already recruited hitmaker Pharrell Williams for the project.

Quotes and video await after the jump…

Did ‘Jealous Ones Still Envy‘ singer R.Kelly attempt to sabotage Joe‘s career?

Unfortunately, the answer to that question is…yes, if a recent interview given by the latter is anything to go by.

For, in going a long way to shed light on the hit maker’s supposedly unscrupulous personality, the ‘Table for Two‘ talent has claimed that Kelly made numerous attempts to have him shoved out of the R&B game…all to no avail.

Why he failed?

Has it really been 20 years since then-teen sensation Brandy released the remix to her hit inaugural single ‘I Wanna Be Down?’

Yes, despite the songstress and the song’s co-stars Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, and Queen Latifah looking better than ever, there have indeed been two decades to pass since the smash song bore a remix with the day’s leading female rappers.

Reuniting on Queen’s top rated talk show, the diva shared news on her role on BET’s ‘The Game,’ developing her own sitcom, plans for new music, movies, and tours this year, and even teased a ‘I Wanna Be Down’ (remix) live performance.

Television, stage, and music are just a few of the many wins attributed to Gospel songbird Michelle Williams over her storied career.

Indeed, the Midwestern beauty has conquered many-a-platform in her rise to the top – a rise that has been fueled by no shortage of Grammy wins, critically acclaimed solo outings, and Broadway deliveries (including a recently announced venture on the revived “Jesus Christ Superstar” national tour).

But, as any winner will tell you, the process can include its fair share of falls and fails.  A process Williams is no stranger to, the ‘We Break the Dawn’ diva recently took time to talk to TIME to break her silence on her career’s most “embarrassing moments”.

Did your favorite make the list?  See yet another reason why we love Michelle below:
