We thought political commentator Ann Coulter would’ve taken a note from the unforgiving wig snatching afforded to Trump advisor Betsy McCaughey earlier this week by Beyonce‘s beloved fan base The Beyhive.

In case you missed it, McCaughey took to CNN to slam presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton for supporting Bey (more on that here).  Apparently Coulter’s the one who missed it as she, just a day after McCaughey’s Instagram page was flooded with bee emojis, took to Twitter to incorrectly slam the Grammy-winning singer for offensive lyrics:

There’s only one problem:  Beyonce didn’t actually utter those words…Nicki Minaj did. Needless to say, the stings are unrelenting and are continuing as we speak.

If you needed any reminder why Beyonce is undoubtedly the Queen recent Billboard receipts should more than suffice.

Indeed, the Grammy-winning diva – who dominated box offices worldwide with her critically acclaimed ‘Formation’ stadium tour – may have wrapped the high octane set last week, but official figures tallied after the trek’s final curtain call are certainly hitting a high note in her favor.

Billboard has the details below:

suicide-squad-soundtrack-thatgrapejuice

This week’s music headlines have undoubtedly been dominated by chart champion Solange and her much deserved/long-awaited victory ‘A Seat at the Table.’  A critical homerun, the album – featuring the likes of Lil’ Wayne, The Dream, and so many more – mirrored that fanfare with an impressive 72k units shifted its first week of availability.  The feat not only made it the week’s top-seller, but it also came as the singer’s best first week sales to date.

But, as the industry continues to sing Solo’s praises, there’s another chart slayer that continues its behind the scenes slayage in silence – ‘The Suicide Squad’ soundtrack.  Developed in support of the 2016 Will Smith-led film of the same name (which has grossed over $740 million since its August premiere), the soundtrack’s run on the Billboard 200 also comes as nothing to shake a stick at.

Unleashed on August 5th, the album debuted at #1 the next week and has not once left the top 6 since. To add, at the end of September the RIAA announced it was the first and only soundtrack to go gold this year.  Now, some two months after its release, the official motion picture soundtrack has moved an additional 38,000 SPS units and refuses to loosen its tight grip on the chart’s upper rankings.

Curious to know where it landed this week?  Tuck in below to find out:

For years, Mariah Carey gleefully declared herself a singer-songwriter and that alone. However, recent times have seen the songbird fly to pastures new – tackling acting and an array of branding endeavours.

The latest of the latter pairs Mimi with M.A.C, for whom she’s designing her own range of make-up for.

Announced last year, the fruits of the lucrative partnership are said to be hitting cosmetic shelves this holiday season.

Ever festive, Carey has named one of the lipsticks ‘All I Want’ and we’re told there’ll be much more tongue-in-cheek-ness to come.

Pending further details, peep an official promo above and snaps of the range below…
