Former friends Elle Varner and K.Michelle have seen their currently volatile relationship thrown into the light today, after the latter took to ‘Hot 97’ to accuse Varner of stealing from her.

Hitting the outlet to promote her hotly anticipated TV musical, Michelle bared all when asked why she and Varner (with whom she shared a management team with) were no longer pals, revealing that the performer intentionally copied and released a cut she knew she had intended to release herself with the full backing of their managers.

How things took a turn for the worst?

Forget ‘Sunset Beach’ or ‘Days Of Our Lives’, Danity Kane‘s break-up is serving dizzying levels of drama.

The aftermath of the group’s second split continues to cause waves online.

For, today alone has seen an interestingly-timed and edited clip of the ladies scrapped reality show “leak” and Dawn Richard (who it was aimed at) reply with her own set of receipts.

Now, ex-member Aundrea Fimbres has weighed in.

Her words are notable in that she’s remained silent on all things DK since she dramatically departed the group in May – leaving the remaining members Dawn, Aubrey O’Day, and Shannon Bex to continue on as a trio.

What did she have to say about the latest round of foolery? Find out below….

Is Mariah Carey a diva redeemed?

Released in May, the singer’s new album ‘Me. I Am…Mariah. The Elusive’ came and went like a thief in the night – only forgetting to bag any sales in the process.

nicole-scherzinger-on-the-rocks-thatgrapejuice

After giving fans a taste of her Sony Music debut with recent single ‘Your Love’, Nicole Scherzinger is hoping to it hard-er with follow-up effort ‘On The Rocks’.

Writing on Instagram, she gushed:

Excited to announce that my next single will be called ‘On The Rocks’ #newmusic #comingsoon

The track is lifted from the former Pussycat Doll diva’s second studio album, which is being produced entirely by hitmakers The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.

Expectations for the set are high, given that it forms the centrepiece of the singer’s global deal at Sony – which will see her handled by RCA in the UK and Epic Records in the States (where she’ll be guided by L.A Reid).

Upon release in the UK, ‘Your Love’ peaked at #6 on the Official UK Singles Chart. The cut, which didn’t score an American release (likely due to the Epic deal being finalised) also performed well in wider Europe and Australia.

Will ‘On The Rocks’ fare better? We excitedly await the first listen to find out!

Lady GaGa may be in the midst of a world tour in support of her own opus ‘ARTPOP’, but that doesn’t hasn’t halted her plans to release a new duet album with Tony Bennett.

The pair, who made their names in two very different genres of music, are gearing up to unleash their new Jazz duet set ‘Cheek To Cheek’ on September 23rd.

So as to amplify buzz, the stars drew the curtain back on the LP’s accompanying cover. Check it out above.

Nicki Minaj is used to inciting chitter-chatter thanks to her brazen antics. However, the femcee is clearly making a beeline for the headlines with the video for new single ‘Anaconda’.

Because, while the track’s accompanying cover courted a degree controversy, its visual appears quite literally invite it – if new stills are anything to go by.

Onika is joined by fellow Young Money comrade Drake in the clip (which debuts this Wednesday); and though the pair maintain that they have a sibling like relationship, they are playing a very different game in the video.
