Pop force Justin Timberlake returns tonight with new single ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ – the first taste of new material since 2013’s double album ‘The 20/20 Experience.’

The track, which is produced by music maestro Max Martin, is lifted from the soundtrack to Dreamworks movie ‘Trolls’ and serves as the precursor to a more robust re-emergence later in the year.

When she isn’t serving as the backbone of many a Pop princess’ career through song the creative force that is Sia can be found pushing her own material.

The name of her latest body of work? ‘This is Acting’, set to find its way to retailers on January 16th.

Fortunately, or unfortunately for fans of Katy Perry, the lyricist now finds herself on a promotional run where she is often quizzed on her experiences with the artists who seek her when crafting new albums.

Why this unfortunate for fans of the ‘Teenage Dreamer’?

“An artist’s personal and/or moral failure has no bearing on his or her ability to do a job (singing, acting, etc.)” – an argument lent by many-a-diehard fan of stars embattled in scandals.

From the most recent controversies surrounding songstress Ariana Grande and entertainer Bill Cosby to King of Pop Michael Jackson and King of R&B R. Kelly, some of entertainment’s most celebrated faces have found themselves royally discharged by even their staunchest supporters after news broke of their involvement in an illegal or immoral dealing.

And, while some careers suffer temporary setbacks while others see more permanent mar, the truth remains: many of these offenders commit infractions that in no way changes their ability to perform nor does it negate any of their professional achievements to date.

As such, it begs the question:  how much should personal decisions affect one’s professional dealings?

Lady GaGa’s current run on the ‘Billboard 200‘ may pale in comparison to her feats of yesteryear, but that hasn’t stopped the ‘Cake‘-maker from birthing  sold-out world tour this year, kicking off the ‘artRAVE:The ARTPOP Tour’ in North America last week.

Far more captivating than her ‘Born This Way Ball‘ outing, her latest touring venture kicked off before the release of her ‘ARTPOP‘ LPs second half, yet to score a release date but set to feature production from her long-time collaborator DJ White Shadow, following the release of 2013’s ‘Applause.’

Now, before she does all of the above, watch her rock her audience with a killer performance of ‘The Fame‘s ‘Paparazzi.’

Watch her work below!

It’s a bittersweet week for fans of ‘Scandal’.

This Thursday sees the ABC hit wrap its third season – which, while promising an exciting climax, spells a six month plus hiatus until the popular show returns for an anticipated fourth outing.

Flip the hood to see the seasoned actress dish on her casting, character and career – the latter of which saw her once serve as a choreographer for the late, great Whitney Houston.

As Rihanna continues work on her forthcoming studio set, Lady GaGa continued to promote her own this week when she stopped by KTU 103.5 FM to push the Pop piece, ‘ARTPOP.’

While there, the Beyonce collaborator found herself quizzed on a number of hot topics currently surrounding her brand.

Put to her tactfully, the show’s hosts “went there” by asking her about her ‘Born this Way Foundation’, currently under fire for its alleged mishandling of funds, as well asking her to explain the meaning behind her brand new single ‘G.U.Y.’

How inflated numbers, her forthcoming tour and ‘power bottoms’ came into the equation?
