Set to impact radio next Monday, Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Work Bitch’ is easily one of Pop’s most eagerly awaited releases of the year.

And with anticipation currently at fever pitch, the singer cranked fans into overdrive moments ago when she shared the cut’s official cover.

Naturally, anything Ms. Spears attaches her name to is an “event”. However, we’ll wait to hear the track before hailing her return. For us, this is very much a case of expect less to be impressed more. Shouldn’t be the case given her “Pop titan” status, but we’ve been played one too many times.

Your thoughts?

Bow down, is basically what Kendrick Lamar is ordering Meek Mill to do today, mocking the Rapper‘s relevancy after learning of the ‘Oooh Kill ‘Em‘ diss track he had sent his way last week.

For last night, at a NYC show to promote his Platinum LP ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D City‘, Lamar took the time to address the number- and its brothers and sisters– by reminding his audience he had no time for the likes of Mill and that he should now be referred to as….King Kendrick.

With Miley Cyrus dominating headlines for all the wrong reasons, it appeared fellow Pop star Rihanna was hoping to get in on the action when she stepped out of her London hotel hours ago.

In the snap above, she can be seen striking a provocative pose as she made her way out of the spot during her time in the city.

Not sure why it’s so provocative?

Danity Kane are back and are wasting no time returning to the stage.

The Pop quad, who announced their reformation and new single ‘Rage’ last month, have been named as the latest act to perform at  one America’s hottest music extravaganza’s.

Artistically, Lady GaGa and Christina Aguilera couldn’t be any different. However, upon the former hitting the scene five years ago, the pair have been pit against each other both politically and amongst their respective fan-bases.

For many, the genesis of the matter stemmed from when Aguilera offered a less than flattering response when quizzed about a then-rising GaGa. And while debate has only intensified over the years (see: Perez Hilton Drama), GaGa’s muted response has been notable in its lack of volume.

However, the silence was shattered last night during an online-only segment of the ‘Applause’ singer’s visit to Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’. 

Flip the hood to see what the 27-year-old had to say about “the Christina Aguilera situation”…

We almost sent out a search party for Mariah Carey‘s new album, however it appears the diva is still hard at work on the much-delayed set.

Initially due last year (ushered in by ‘Triumphant’), the LP was bumped to July of this year in a bid to capitalize on Spring’s hit ‘#Beautiful’. Yet, after the latest date was scrapped, Mimi vanished, as did any trace of the project.

However, in a new Instagram snap, the 43-year-old resurfaces and has brought the cavalry with her.

The shot above shows Carey posing alongside some of music’s most noted hitmakers – Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Hit-Boy, Mike Will, and longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri.

Will the all-star cast be able to revive a project most folk forgot about? Time will tell.

Kudos are due to Ms. Carey, though. Who else could assemble all the kings horses and all the kings men? Let’s just hope they can put her (apparently finished) album back together again.

Ariana Grande may have scored a #1 with her debut album ‘Yours Truly’ this week, yet that hasn’t stopped the 20-year-old from setting her sights on its follow-up. Already.

It goes without saying that Lady GaGa season is in full-swing.

The multi-platinum chart-titan is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album ‘ARTPOP’ on November 11th and is on a steady, yet aggressive promotional push for the ‘Applause’ led set.

Mother Monster’s campaign trail made a stop on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night for what we feel is one of the star’s best interviews yet.

The ever-on-point host Andy Cohen left no stone unturned with his questioning, quizzing the 27-year-old square-on about her next Beyonce duet, her ARTPOP Tour, scrapped collaboration with Cher, and much more.

Quotes and full interview await after the jump…

Fresh details on his new LP may be hard to find, but 50 Cent ensures his name is kept at the tip of many a Hip Hop tongue with his new video, ‘Can’t Help Myself (I’m Hood)’.

One of the many jams to be found on the DJ Drama hosted ‘The Lost Tape’, the song’s video touches down one year after its May 2012 release.

However, we’re sure that won’t matter to the performer’s die hard supporters, who saw his last LP ‘Before I Self Destruct’ certified Gold in the USA for shipments of 500,000 units.

Check it out!

After refusing to begin the show until Nicki Minaj’s arrival , designer Jeremy Scott found his fashions cast upon with many a creative eye, Rap Princess Iggy Azalea arrived at the show to join Minaj in the front row.

While neither lady said nothing of their meeting on Twitter, Scott did find the time to thank Nicki for attending, in a tweet published here.
