The Queen has spoken.

Minutes ago, Nicki Minaj called into Funkmaster Flex’s Hot 97 radio show for what we’d call ‘ a showdown of epic proportions’, after he threatened to ‘tear down’ her career after Sunday night’s Summerjam debacle.

Attention!

Ciara is back and poised to smash with her first album in two years, ‘One Woman Army’.

Our friends over at MTV caught up with the ‘Ride’ singer at the premiere of her new movie ‘That’s My Boy’ yesterday, where she talked about the LP, its lead single ‘Sweat’, and the hitmakers she’s enlisted to craft her chart comeback.

Urban Pop force Usher is gearing up to unleash his new LP ‘Looking 4 Myself’ on the masses next week (June 12th). Hence, in continuing his no stone unturned promo approach, the 33 year old performed latest single ‘Scream’ at the XBOX 360 E3 presentation in Los Angeles today.

By no means a “basic” performance, the singer’s showcase tied-in his involvement with ‘Dance Central 3’ –  an interactive choreography based game which comes to the console later this year.

Serial lip-syncer Cheryl Cole attempted to honour the Queen of England tonight by ditching her favourite past-time and singing live.

Yet, as her performance of ‘Need You Now’ with Gary Barlow proved, switching on her mic only highlights her ample inadequacies.

Earlier this morning, Funkmaster Flex shocked fans when he openly vowed to ‘tear Nicki Minaj’ down for not performing at Summerjam 2012, the event organized by his radio station Hot 97.

Now, in her defense, fellow Rap queen has released a statement weighing in on the situation, supporting her decision to walk away from what many saw as a dangerous situation.

Her words below…

Rihanna.

Say what you will about her, but not only is her success “compelling”, she also stands as one of the most renown Pop polarizers in recent history.

Indeed, for many her “F effort” approach underlines all that is wrong with today’s music industry; while for others she represents a new generation.

Whatever your take on her, the fact is you have one. Alas, we’re keen to hear what you think about the model’s current predicament. Aged just 24, she has six albums under her wig (as well as a horde of awards), she also serves as one of the biggest Digital music sellers of all time, and yet remains respected by so few, with increasingly low album sales to boot.

In this ‘The Business Roundtable Special”, our resident host Patrick is joined by comedienne Bresha Webb and upcoming actor TQuan Wilson to “Rate Rihanna”. Hit ‘PLAY’ and be sure to let us know what you think about “That Rihanna Reign” below…

Love her or hate her, but we’d challenge anyone not to respect Nene Leakes’ ascent to the ‘top’.

Using Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ franchise as a launching pad for her own media oriented brand, Leakes-like Bethenny Frankel before her- has become one of television’s more bankable stars,commanding respect both on and off the small screen.

Now,she has weighed in on so called TV exec Shaunie O’neal and her ‘Basketball Wives‘.

On the show she told Vibe Magazine:

The truth is the truth. It has just gone too far. Too many fights, my God!

We (The Real Housewives) don’t do that. We definitely have had our verbal fights, but never physical fights. I can’t believe the fighting and the bullying. It looks bad. It really looks bad.

They can’t want to do too much in their careers. A good ole argument, everybody likes that every now and then to tune into, but you couldn’t be trying to have too much in your career because that stuff, it don’t work. You can’t represent a product and be that way. That just doesn’t work.

Not sure what Nene means?
