Joining Mariah Carey and Tamar Braxton in spreading the spirit of Christmas again today is Ariana Grande, doing so with the spectacular jam that is ‘Snow in California.’

Pulled from her forthcoming ‘Christmas Kisses’ EP, the release sees a lovesick Grande call on Santa to ‘make it rain’ with snow, all in the hopes of keeping her lover by her side for just a little longer.

Does it have what it takes to steal Pop’s Christmas crown from Carey‘s ‘All I Want’?

After making an appearance in his commercial for ‘The Key’ fragrance, Justin Bieber‘s ‘All That Matters’ unlocked the doors to its very own video today- sharing itself with the world via director Colin Tilley.

Unfortunately, despite being one of the vocalist’s strongest releases, the clip’s genius did little to mask the unintentional joke that is his acting.

Acting, that sees him attempt to ‘up his Hip Hop game’ with moves that scream Diet-Drake. Moves, that lack the effortless nature that make the ‘Hold On’ Rapper’s performances so enjoyable to watch.

Praised and renown for asking the questions few dare to pose, Ebro Darden‘s ‘The Hot 97 Morning Show’ celebrated one of its most telling interviews to date recently, when they caught up with the R&B beauty that is Ashanti.

Joined by co-host Laura Stylez, Darden‘s conversation with the singer/actress went a long way to address many a  hot topic surrounding her career.

Think the jailing of her stalker.

Her long running feud with former mentor Irv Gotti.

The intentional ‘mishandling’ of  ‘Murder Inc‘ budgets.

G-Unit.

Still not sure why we’re calling this one a ‘must see’?
