Hawaiian hitmaker Nicole Scherzinger recently shook things up for her sexy shoot with Vegas Magazine.  The accompanying interview, which sees the vixen chat on everything from X Factor to her rise to fame and more, can be found here.

Also chatting about his recent trip to Africa, the singer revealed he has an EP due November 29th (with all proceeds going to charity).  Find out what else the ‘Love Faces’ crooner found time to talk about after the jump:

In the spirit of the similarly billed, some ‘performers’ perform best when mute.  The posterchild of such notion is certainly no-time Grammy winning vocal less vocalist Cassie.  The ‘Long Way 2 Go’ singer, whose growing endorsement deals include Carol’s Daughter, saw her lend her look to a recent campaign for the beauty brand.

Needless to say, when in her native territory, the model-with-a-micserves of h-e-a-t on a platter!

Word has it the songstress is not only putting the finishing touches on her forthcoming album, but she is readying a new music video for ‘King of Hearts’ (scheduled for release in the coming weeks).  The video features choreography from none other than famed Lady Gaga choreo-craftswoman Laurie Ann Gibson.
